Chapter 231： 4 people

Opening the file bag, Steven Soderberg took out a stack of materials. The top one was a very formal invitation. He knew that the invitation came from Jenkins Pictures, and that name resounded throughout the United States a few days ago. The young man even called him.

Below is a brief outline and role introduction of the script, as well as a few newspaper clippings, most of which are details of the lawsuit between Irene Brockovich and Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

He has also seen this lawsuit in the newspapers. Over the past few years, especially after the verdict this year, there has been a stir in the major media.

Unexpectedly, Ryan Jenkins moved so fast, not long after the case was over, he aimed at the key characters inside, and wanted to make a biographical movie.

Steven Soderberger flipped through the outline of the script and introduced the roles, and then looked at the tentatively determined list of actors, vaguely guessed what the other party was thinking. The film must be aimed at the 98 Oscars. .

Although I admire each other’s talents and abilities, frankly speaking, he and his small circle do not like the style of Ryan Jenkins. In the words of some friends, the other party is too cheap and doesn’t understand art at all. .

Of course, whether there is envy and jealousy in it, then only God knows. After all, he can get hundreds of millions of dollars in investment at every turn. For literary movies, this is simply impossible.

"Steven, how did you think about it?" asked the agent and friend who was sitting across from him.

"I need to see the complete script."

Despite saying so, Steven Soderberg was already moved by seeing the $50 million shooting budget and the position of director and producer.

At the same time, Jenkins Pictures is located in an office building in Burbank. Nicole was sitting in her office, watching the assistant bring a thick pile of materials from the outside and pile them on the desk.

"Oh, God!" Nicole looked at the stacks of documents several inches thick and couldn't help covering her forehead. Asked the female assistant, "Anything else?"

"Also!" The female assistant nodded and explained, "Mr. Rodriguez sent a lot of relevant information..."

"Take them all." Nicole waved her hand.

Nicole knew that these materials were carefully investigated by Ryan, except for Irene Brockovich's detailed introduction. There are also the law firm and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as well as the case of the lawsuit not long after its conclusion.

These are all conducive to her understanding of Irene Brockovich from the beginning to the end, and to understand the details of the entire lawsuit.

However, she didn't look through the information, but instead thought of the research and consulting company.

The company that Ryan advocated to establish has played an important role in the past few years. That Garcia Rodriguez may not be a qualified operator, but he is an expert in investigation and analysis. He has provided them with extremely detailed information in several acquisitions and other incidents.

Moreover, with the help of Wilson Law Firm, he can always find loopholes in the law and will not touch the boundaries easily.

Ryan!

Nicole's mind immediately changed to that handsome and determined face. This year is the happiest and happiest time in her life. Whenever she thinks about the sweetest moments with Ryan, she always feels that she used to be in vain. He always guards her silently, and always calmly replaces her. She solves any troubles and always gives her the greatest joy...

Even some thoughts that have been there will always melt in the lingering enthusiasm of the two people getting along day and night.

The pampering she once gave him, starting this year, has been used by him intact on her own body, and even some unreasonable demands of herself. He will do his best to achieve it.

This is an indescribable, but very beautiful feeling that will make people immerse in it unconsciously. Nicole wants to maintain this feeling until the moment when it will only belong to her forever.

Shook his head. Nicole dissipated all these random thoughts and focused on the materials in front of him. How can he succeed without working hard if he wants to create brilliance?

In the apartment dormitory of the University of Southern California, Ryan is helping a few classmates pack their luggage. The New Year holiday is about to begin. Darren and the four are not going to go home. They will go to David Finch’s crew to report in the afternoon and do some The most basic work, increase practical experience.

"Ryan, are you sure you are not with us?" David asked.

"Come on, David." Reese dragged his luggage and walked out the door. "If Ryan goes to a crew as a handyman, the entire North American entertainment media must be crazy."

"You guys..."

Ryan waved his hand and sent them out of the apartment building.

Everyone has their own ideals, but many people have fallen on the road to their ideals. It is undoubtedly a kind of happiness to be able to engage in occupations that they like and are interested in.

For example, Ryan himself, he likes the profession of actors or stars very much, but is not interested in directors. For him, he wants to control the crew and gain more power, and the production talent is a better choice.

Hollywood implements a producer system. How many big directors can really compete with producers?

Unlike him, Darren's goal is to become a director, and he has no interest in literary films, science fiction films, etc., only the kind of horror films that sprinkle tomato sauce.

Reese is interested in photography and wants to be a top photographer like Russell Carpenter.

David has considerable talent in editing, and Chen dreams of making a movie of his own after returning to China.

Thinking of ideals, Ryan can’t help but think of Steven Soderbergh, the bald director is barely an idealist. At the age of 26, he won the Palme d’Or with “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” and became the Cannes Film Festival. After being the youngest winner, he refused many invitations for commercial films, and he is still groping forward in art films.

"Eileen Brockovich" is not an art film, and even a biographical film is somewhat reluctant. This film completely portrays her into the image of a civilian hero in the eyes of the American public.

So, to be more precise, this should be an inspirational commercial movie.

It doesn't matter if Steven Soderberg refuses to lead the tube, Ryan has already prepared a backup candidate, Ron Howard and Ridley Scott are also one of the choices.

By the way, the outline and settings of "Peerless Tribulation" have been handed over to the editorial team for supplementation. After the New Year, we have to contact Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. The latter is not a problem, and the former is estimated to be a little troublesome.

And Charlize Theron, the South African Diamond has called several times recently, inviting him to dinner, as a thank you to the heroine of "Jurassic Park".

Ryan has a headache. If such a beautiful bubbling woman invites you, it must be fake...

The phone's ringtone interrupted Ryan's thoughts, but it was Natalie's call in New York.

"Hi, Nat."

"Tell you good news, Ryan." Natalie over there was obviously happy. "I got the role of Anne Frank."

"Oh, congratulations, Nat." Ryan sighed, and Natalie chose Broadway and "Anne Diary" stage plays. "Are the rehearsal and performance schedules determined?"

"The rehearsal will begin after the New Year, and the official performance will be held in June."

"Well, I'll wait to see your debut."

"Come on, Ryan, I won't believe you casually."

Hearing Natalie's slight complaint on the phone, Ryan shrugged and changed the subject, "Rehearsal after the New Year, so do you still come over to audition?"

"Of course participate, the audition will be at the end of February, there will be no conflict." Natalie did not hesitate, "This is a prequel to "Star Wars"!"

She is really smart enough to know how to choose! Ryan sighed with emotion.

Although Natalie has three movies released this year, she is all inconspicuous small roles in them, and did not cause much response. Obviously, she understands that a movie role with enough weight is a must.

"Nate, you must get the role of Padmé Amidala, but there are surprises waiting for you in the future." The agreement between Ryan and George Lucas is limited to the two of them knowing.

"Surprise?" Natalie said with a strong nasal voice, "you know, Ryan, when you grow up, all you have to do is surprise or joy!"

The corners of Ryan's mouth trembled, and he simply said the answer, "I have reached an agreement with George to play the role of Anakin? Skywalker as an adult!"

"Anakin in adulthood? Skywalker?" Natalie paused for a long time before saying, "Is... Padmé Amidala's lover?"

Ryan, the script for the first draft of the prequel trilogy, had long been requested from Lucas, and then mailed to Natalie, which was a potential advantage.

"Yeah, dear Nat, is this a surprise." Ryan changed his tone on purpose.

"Come on, Ryan." Natalie's voice seemed to be humming through her nose, "It has nothing to do with my audition."

"Oh, God, Nat, you broke my heart again." Ryan laughed happily.

"You have broken my heart countless times, Ryan!" Natalie must bite her teeth.

"Well When I go to New York, I can always let you take a few bites?"

"Are you coming to New York? What time?"

"After the New Year."

"Would you not release the pigeons again, Ryan?"

"I'm going to Marvel Comics and Blue Sky Studio, don't forget, Nat, I am the owner of those two companies."

"Sure enough, every time I come here because of other things, and then come over and see my best friend, right?"

"So I asked you to apply to a high school in Los Angeles."

"I like Long Island Middle School very much."

Unknowingly, more than half an hour passed without any intention of hanging up the phone. The long distance between New York and Los Angeles created a deep friendship between them. (To be continued.
