Chapter 288： Not yet the end

"Continue to talk to them, tell those theater owners, tell them, no matter what, to postpone the schedule of "Titanic" past the Oscars."

At the small table under the palm tree, Ryan was walking up and down, constantly shouting at the phone, "I have communicated with the partner, we can make concessions on the theater line, 8 to 2 or even 9 to 1. Yes, we have made enough money. I only need the box office record now..."

Oh, God! This is my boyfriend? Why did he think he was so capable before, but now he feels so vulgar? Has the relationship between each other changed and so has the senses?

Natalie leaned on the back of the chair, looked away from the laptop document, and patted her forehead with her little hand.

"Sorry, Nat, I'm ready to have tea with you..."

Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone that Ryan hung up rang again. He glanced at the number on it, and couldn't help but connect.

"Hi, Pat."

"Ryan, the publishing house is settled."

"Well, it's hard work."

Just as Ryan wanted to hang up, Jinsli's voice came over there again, "Wait for Ryan, there are several programs inviting you."

"Take it all away."

"okay then."

After all, he is not an ordinary star, and no one can force a rich man with a net worth of 2 billion dollars to participate in a variety show.

"Our afternoon tea is already cool."

When he sat down, Natalie said helplessly, "I promised your date today, it was definitely a mistake."

"No way, Nat." Ryan looked at the black tea in the pot and beckoned to the maid in the distance, "Nicole has gone to Australia. I need to make decisions about many things now."

After the New Year, Nicole went to Australia with the "The Matrix" crew. The remaining training and filming of the entire film will be completed there. Many of the chores she handled before naturally fell on Ryan.

In fact, not only "The Matrix", "American Pie", which is in preparation, will also not be filmed in California.

The North American film industry, just like the traditional manufacturing industry, has moved overseas on a large scale, especially in regions such as Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, which have become popular locations for filmmakers to shoot films.

These places, compared to California, have huge cost advantages in taxation, labor costs, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The transfer of studios to overseas, like co-productions, has become an inevitable trend in Hollywood's development, even if In the new century, the prefectural Zhengfu adjusted related taxes for this purpose, but it still hasn't improved.

The maid brought black tea again. After Ryan filled Natalie, he pointed to the notebook and asked, "Have you seen the script? How do you feel?"

""Remains on a Deserted Island"? This...it seems like you have written the most in-depth script." Natalie added a few pieces of sugar to the cup, held the tea cup in both hands, and rubbed it back and forth. "Reflection on life? For life. Feelings? Ryan, are you sure you can play this role well?"

"Why not?"

The black tea in the cup was drunk, and Ryan asked very seriously, "I wrote the story, why can't I act it out?"

"Age, experience." Natalie put down her tea cup and tapped the table lightly, "Don't forget, you are only eighteen years old!"

"Come on, Nat." Ryan leaned on the chair and waved indifferently, and said, "These can be compensated by other methods. Since I can write this story, I will definitely be able to act it well. Besides, you played Annie? When Frank, didn’t you have so many experiences? It’s not very well received."

"You always make sense."

With the increase of age, Natalie's sharpness in her teenage years has decreased a lot, and there have been fewer and fewer disputes with Ryan, and some things have been able to compromise.

Closing the notebook, Natalie packed up her bag and stood up, "It's getting late, let someone take me back to the hotel."

"Do you have to go back?" Ryan tilted his head, looked at Natalie's chiseled face, and said softly, "Nat, there are many rooms here. You can live here at night."

"What's your purpose?" Natalie looked over and saw Ryan's very sincere expression. Her eyes flashed, and she seemed to be a little moved. Finally, she said, "When I was out of the hotel, there was a paparazzi. After following it, if I don’t go out overnight, it will definitely spread throughout the United States tomorrow."

Sending away Natalie, Ryan finds sadly that he has become a lonely again. Nicole goes to Australia. The scene in Natalie's studio is completed and she will return to New York soon...

Of course, this does not mean that he has nothing to do. There is a lot of work to be done. The Oscar nomination is about to be announced!

After just two days, the film finally reached a new agreement with the theaters. It will not be offline in the short term, but the proportion of the theaters has reached 90%.

As if stimulated by this good news, the North American box office unexpectedly rebounded slightly. After the new week, the North American box office finally passed the 700 million U.S. dollar mark, and the global box office exceeded 1.9 billion U.S. dollars!

"Titanic has no end!"

"After more than half a year, this big ship is still cutting the waves all over the world. Every cent that it receives means the birth of a new record. Now the global box office has exceeded 1.9 billion U.S. dollars, the mark of 2 billion U.S. dollars. You can touch it, where will its record stop in the end? Who will break it next time?"

"This film has created unprecedented commercial success. It can be called the pinnacle of Hollywood movies. The thinking about people, love, and society transcends the boundaries of culture and beliefs. Strong response."

"It created a world-class phenomenon, completely beyond the scope of movies, and shining all over the world!"

"It created a new situation in Hollywood movies. Many closed markets in the past have completely opened up because of this movie!"

"It even triggered an unprecedented moviegoer on the other side of the block. This is definitely a major victory for American culture!"

"This is a masterpiece that spans the centuries. It is not an exaggeration to praise it with any honor and praise. I believe that after the Oscars are over, we will cheer for this movie again..."

"Vanity Fair" and "Los Angeles Times" once again published large-scale commentary reports on movies, hoping to create even greater momentum at this moment when the Oscar nominations are about to be announced.

Otherwise, Harvey? Weinstein spent a lot of resources on Nicole’s best actress. Although he did not promise Ryan, the trilogy with huge investment is about to start shooting. If even the nomination fails, he There is no face to continue mixing in Hollywood.

As for Ryan himself, he is not sure at all. After all, his previous life Leonardo? Mr. DiCaprio, what happened after this movie, impressed him too deeply.

Despite a lot of recent events, Ryan took the time to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport to bid farewell to Natalie and her group who temporarily returned to New York for vacation. In "Star Wars 1", her remaining scenes are basically in Morocco.

"Ryan, remember to visit me in Morocco at that time and don't let me put my pigeons, otherwise it will make you look good."

In the empty VIP room, Natalie's eyes widened, her eyes tightly wrapped around the guy on the opposite side, and finally she lit her small fist.

"Morocco, I remember! Dear Nat, you have said it several times." Ryan grabbed the fist waving in the air and kissed it lightly.

"I gotta go……"

Natalie pulled her arm back, turned and walked outside the door.

"Nate!"

Ryan took a step and grabbed the girl's arm. With just a slight pull, Natalie plunged into his arms. Her slender arm, like a koala, hugged his waist.

Holding up the girl’s slightly raised face, Ryan kissed hard. He used so much force that he seemed to want to swallow Natalie into his stomach. As the girl’s whispered nose sounded, his hands went smoothly. With an angular face, he quickly slid downwards, and finally hugged Natalie's waist.

Although the movements are very jerky and the skills are not very proficient, Natalie responded to Ryan with only a few skills, wanting to let him know that she is passionate about him...

After a long and lingering deep kiss, just like when they were children, their foreheads were on their foreheads, and their eyes were on the eyes. Even if the appearance of the other party had been deeply imprinted in their minds, it was not enough.

"I love you, Ryan..."

The long island girl’s whisper in exchange for Ryan’s gentleness, he lowered his head to find the two swollen lips, and gently sucked them. It was completely different from the wildness just now. At this moment, he seemed so cautious, like his Na Tally is a fragile porcelain doll.

"Nate, I really don't want you to leave."

At this moment, there is only one person left in his headRyan, when I stand high enough, we will make it public, okay? "Natalie buried her whole head in the big chest.

"Uh..." Ryan quickly raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "Oops, Nat, time!"

"Ah..." Natalie just woke up, wiped a few hands on her lips, opened the door and walked out, "Ryan? Jenkins, if the flight is delayed, I will definitely ask you to settle the account! !"

Seeing the huge Boeing airliner climb into the sky, Ryan suddenly remembered that the business jet he ordered is not yet in place.

In other words, should we return the order and directly order the Boeing 747, which is known as the world's largest passenger aircraft?

Shaking his head, Ryan walked outside the airport. The business jet was enough for him, and there was no need to use this method to show his identity and status.

When the order was placed, sent? Jinsli ordered three at a time. In addition to those belonging to Ryan and Nicole, she and Scott also bought one. (To be continued.) ()
