Chapter 310： Arrive in Cannes

Although it is called Global Travel, due to the ages of two people and other unspeakable scruples, they cannot really travel to the most famous cities in the world. They can only choose a few cities to have a fun. .

What's more, Natalie is currently in high school, and she will definitely be under academic pressure if she wants to enter an Ivy League school.

During the period, her father, Mr. Avner, called her satellite phone several times, asking where Natalie went after the filming and why she didn't return to New York. The two quarreled on the phone.

"I'm going to be seventeen years old soon. I'm grown up, not those ignorant girls." When leaving Jerusalem, Natalie once complained to Ryan, "I know that Dad loves me very much, but he is too conservative. Yes, he wants me to follow too many rules. Even if I move out of the house, I feel like a poor bird with only its wings tied."

Shrugging, Ryan didn't say anything. It's definitely the wrong choice to mix up this kind of family affairs.

A week later, after passing through cities such as Rome and Madrid, Ryan and Natalie came to Paris. This is the last stop of their itinerary and the place where the two will be separated.

After today, Natalie needs to rush back to New York, and Ryan will go to Cannes to participate in the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

"Saving Private Ryan" will be the opening film of this Cannes Film Festival.

In the previous life, this film participated in the Venice Film Festival. Perhaps it was the reason why Ryan participated in this film. DreamWorks put its premiere in Cannes, which will soon be the anniversary of the landing of Normandy, France. The country where Omaha Beach is located, couldn't be more appropriate.

After all, this is Paris, one of the most active paparazzi cities in the world, Ryan and Natalie each have their own thoughts. No longer like the previous journey, you can go out to hang out unscrupulously.

Besides, this city. Neither he nor Natalie have been here more than once.

at dusk. The two of them took large sunglasses, lowered their hats, and walked out of the hotel on the banks of the Seine. They wandered along the shore together, admiring the bright river water under the sunset, and the romantic French men and women.

it's here. You can see pictures of lovers kissing at will, even more wild and affectionate.

"God gave the best piece of land to France, and later felt that it was unfair to other countries, and created the French on this land."

Listening to Natalie's comment on the Frenchman she met on the road. Ryan sighed, "Speak nicely. French people want to enjoy life, but awkwardly, French people are too lazy. They do things chaotically and carelessly."

"But they are the most famous liberals in the world." Natalie simply took Ryan and sat in an outdoor cafe by the Seine. After ordering two cups of coffee, she continued in a low voice, "Although I do I don’t like the French very much. But it cannot be denied that the concepts of freedom, equality and fraternity have entered the soul of this country."

"Freedom? Fraternity?" Ryan held up the coffee cup, sips lightly, and retorted, "You know, Nat. The French enjoy the best leisure time in the world, but they are still not satisfied. Strikes. September is the time to resume work at the end of the holidays, and it is also the best time to organize a general strike. They have Christmas in winter, spring break in spring, paid vacation in summer, and strikes in autumn. You can travel throughout the year. Oh."

"This is Paris, Ryan." Natalie deliberately looked at the few tables around her. "Be careful to be heard by the French and throw you into the Seine."

The two are like ordinary couples, occasionally joking with each other. When the topic tends to be flat, they will find out the mistakes in each other's words, stab each other a few words, and talk about the happy place. He would giggle, even when he fell silent, his eyes would stare at each other closely.

After today, they will be parted temporarily, and it doesn't have to be long to see you next time.

"Na... Nat?"

A brown-haired girl walked into the cafe, still a little uncertain at first, and smiled happily when she walked over, "Nate, it's really you! Why did you come to Paris?"

"Mira." The embarrassment on Natalie's face was fleeting, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Mira, please sit down."

After the other party sat down, Ryan glanced at her calmly. This is a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although it is a little different from when she grows up, the name from Natalie and the Long Island girl are not bad. In an affectionate manner, he roughly thought of who the other party was.

"Nate, this is your boyfriend?" She looked at Ryan curiously, and immediately recognized who it was, "You are Ryan! Hello, Ryan, this is Mira, Mila Kunis Last year, we saw the rehearsal theater of "Annie Diary" in New York."

"Hello, nice to see you again, Mira."

After saying hello, Ryan called in the waiter and ordered coffee for the other party, "I heard Nat talk about you, did you come to Paris by yourself?"

"Ah, no, when I came to Paris with my mother, I didn't expect to meet you and Nat here."

As she said, she showed an unusually gossip look like a little girl, "Are you two dating?"

"Mira!"

Before Ryan could speak, Natalie retorted, "We are just friends, relax here after filming the movie."

"Ah..." Mila Kunis prolonged the ending and looked at Natalie with a playful look, "It's just a friend, I understand."

"Just do whatever you want." With Natalie's character, naturally she wouldn't be too entangled in this aspect.

Ryan didn’t speak, and looked at the two girls quietly, talking and laughing. From Natalie’s expression and words, he could tell that these two people should be regarded as close friends, even if they can’t reach Natalie. The place with Scarlett is much more intimate than her friends at school.

He vaguely remembered that Natalie and Mila Kunis had a good relationship because of co-starring in "Anne Frank's Diary", and later even met Macaulay, who was in the quagmire, through her. Culkin became an irresistible acquaintance with the other party.

"So you're going back to New York tomorrow? Have the tickets been booked? Why don't we go together?" It was Mila Kunis.

"This one……"

Natalie pointed to Ryan, "I'm flying on his private jet."

"That's great!" Mila Kunis' excited voice attracted the curious eyes of many people around her. She stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered her voice, "I have never been on a private jet before, we How are you together, Nat?"

Immediately afterwards, she seemed to realize something, and said embarrassedly, "Forget it, I don't want to..."

"Of course." Ryan took the words and said with a smile, "I'm going to Cannes. I'm worried that Nat will be bored back to New York alone."

…………

The Cannes Film Festival, founded in 1939, is one of the world’s top international film festivals. Together with the Venice International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival, it has become one of the three major international film festivals in Europe. The highest award is the'Palmola'. The opening time is set for May 13th, local time.

After entering the 1990s, European films were greatly impacted by Hollywood films, and almost all of the market fell. In this context, the three major film festivals, which are too particular about niche and so-called art, have their influence every year. Are declining.

The organizers of the three major film festivals have naturally noticed these and are making corresponding changes. The Cannes Film Festival, which tends to be more commercialized, is undoubtedly the most obvious one.

They not only accepted Spielberg's film into the competition unit, but also listed it as the opening film, which is evident in the intentions.

You know, Steven Spielberg is not very popular in the European film industry.

In fact, even the stupid people understand that the movie loses its business and will only die.

"Ryan, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Entering the hotel and just entering the guest room prepared by the organizer, Ryan greeted Spielberg.

"Steven." Ryan hurriedly let the old man onto the sofa in the living room, "I just arrived, and I am going to say hello to you and Tom."

"Tom and Lina are on the Corniche." Spielberg talked about business. "I heard Jerefer say that Pat pushed the dubbing of "Prince of Egypt" for you?"

"I think it's not hard to find a candidate for dubbing." Ryan made an apologetic gesture, "I sent the theme song to the animation studio."

The theme song is naturally "", what other songs are there that are closer to the theme of "Prince of Egypt" than this song.

"I've heard Maria Kelly's audition, it's very good, and it fits the theme of the movie."

Spielberg didn't say anything. Although Ryan broke the appointment, the song was provided for free, which obviously meant compensation.

"Has the later stages of "Jurassic Park 2" been completed?" Ryan changed the subject.

"Only the title and subtitles are left. Kate is producing it and will be able to finish it all in the next few days."

In this summer, the film market will usher in a number of big productions related to Ryan, the first is "Saving Private Ryan The premiere time of this film in North America, is placed on the anniversary of the landing of Normandy. That day.

There is also "Jurassic Park 2". In this era when cg is gradually rampant, this movie will certainly not be as amazing as the first one, but it is definitely a weapon for attracting money.

Then there is Michael Bay’s "Peerless Tribulation", this sci-fi movie mixed with many entertainment elements, which will be released in the last month of the summer vacation.

The two talked about other movies, and Spielberg said goodbye.

"Ryan, don't forget the premiere tomorrow. If you don't attend, those French reporters will definitely enter the hotel."

"I won't let them do what they want."

Seeing Spielberg's rare joke, Ryan responded with a smile.

In fact, when he arrived in Cannes and entered this hotel, he had already been bombarded by reporters and paparazzi. I don’t know if it was deliberately arranged by the organizer. At that time, the car parked a little far away from the hotel and he paid for it. With so much strength, under the support of George and others, he rushed in. ()
