After the plane landed at Moeb Airport in Utah, Ryan and his team changed to five off-road vehicles, along Route 78, all the way to a small town called Arbens, a small town with a population of only a few thousand. Known throughout the United States for skiing and summer escape, their destination is Canyonlands National Park to the west of the town.
"Check drinking water, radios, satellite phones, spare oil drums and all other equipment."
At the gas station on the west side of the town, John loudly commanded the bodyguards to make the final check, "All vehicles are filled up and ready to go at any time."
Standing by the off-road vehicle, Ryan set up a pergola and looked to the west. There was a huge and wide open wilderness in front of him. Under the sunlight in winter, the spots of snow on the brown-red sandstone ground reflected The charming halo shows the unique scenery of the western United States.
"Are they not here yet?"
The door of this extended off-road vehicle was pushed open from inside, and Taylor jumped out, "How long shall we wait."
"We came early, and it's not yet the agreed time."
Taking off his gloves, Ryan picked up the hat that Taylor was carrying and put it on her head for her, "My dear, this is not Los Angeles. Keep warm."
Although the weather here is not too cold, it is incomparable to Los Angeles, which is sunny all year round.
"Mr. Ruston will be here soon."
The door opened again, and Natalie and Scarlett Johansson, who were holding their mobile phones, got out of the car one after another, walked to Ryan, and looked east, "They have about five minutes' drive away."
"Where's my signature book."
Back to the car, Taylor found his backpack and walked back, hung it on Scarlett's shoulder, and took out the fountain pen and the signature book from the bag in the helpless eyes of the little fat girl staring at her.
"My dear." Scarlett returned the backpack to her, curled her lips and said, "You are going to release a record, can you stop doing this kind of naive behavior?"
"Don't say you don't admire Alan Ruston."
Holding bag and notebook. Taking advantage of his height, Taylor looked down at Scarlett from a condescending stare, "His courage and determination in adversity, his attitude toward difficulties in life, and the nature of human nature, I admire very much."
"The two of you have been arguing on the way." Ryan frowned and looked at Taylor and Scarlett. "What happened?"
"It's not that she is strong by relying on her height and legs..."
Before Scarlett could finish her words, she was interrupted by Taylor's staring eyes, "Scarlett!"
"It's nothing." Scarlett turned her head to the side in a jealous manner, just out of sight of Ryan and Natalie. She and Taylor's eyes were still in a silent confrontation.
A few minutes later, a black off-road vehicle came from far and near. It was Alan Ruston and his girlfriend, the former amateur mountaineering adventurer, who has now become a professional player, especially It was after Ryan bought the film adaptation rights for "The Dilemma of Life and Death", its fame instantly reverberated throughout North America.
However, the other party broke his arm to survive in the Blue John Canyon. It's really shocking.
In a country where personal heroism is rampant like North America, he also deserves the title of a hero.
Ryan met Alan Ruston for the first time, but Natalie flew to Utah to talk to each other several times after she decided to direct the film. It can be considered familiar.
"This is my girlfriend and manager Jessica."
After greeted everyone, Alan Ruston introduced his girlfriend to Ryan and his party. The two parties exchanged simple greetings and got in the car and went straight to the destination.
Canyon National Park is located at the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers in southeastern Utah. Sandstone towers and canyons formed by years of river erosion and erosion by wind, frost, rain and snow are one of the most famous erosion areas in the world, famous for their sinister peaks and rugged rocks.
Under the leadership of Alan Ruston. Not far from the town, the car left Highway 78.
Strictly speaking, they have entered the scope of Canyon National Park. There are no roads. The so-called roads are all trails that can only be passed by four-wheel drive off-road vehicles. They are recognized as one of the most difficult areas for humans to enter in the entire United States.
After more than forty miles of bumps, the convoy arrived near Horseshoe Canyon, a small camping area for tourists.
Because of the weekend, when Ryan got out of the car, he discovered that there were already several off-road vehicles parked here. About six or seven people gathered together and looked at this side with strange eyes.
"These are travel and rock climbing enthusiasts."
Alan Ruston walked over and greeted those people familiarly. After returning, he said, "The place where I was trapped was about 15 miles from here. The car can't go any further. We can only walk or Ride a mountain bike over."
"Let's walk."
Natalie, who was standing behind an off-road vehicle packing her bags, looked over, "We don't have such good car skills."
"This is the Natural Geology Museum"
Carrying a large mountain bag on his back, Taylor walked out from behind an off-road vehicle, deliberately using an aria, and exclaimed, "It is a place of adventure for hikers to challenge themselves, and it is also a place where modern American civilization has very little involvement. One of the parks."
"Are you ready?" She jumped onto a piece of weathered red sandstone and raised her arms. "Get ready to enjoy this journey."
Giving a thumbs up to the crazy talking Tyler, Ryan walked to the car to take his backpack and put it on his shoulder.
For Taylor, this will be a rare and even the last journey of freedom. She is about to embark on the path of stardom like Scarlett Johansson and others. The future will be surrounded by countless paparazzi and flashing lights. The freedom of the past is about to become a thing of the past.
In fact, if you go around in a circle, the off-road vehicle can still drive to deeper canyons, but the purpose of Ryan's group is not only to play, but more importantly, under the leadership of Alan Ruston, along the road He walked the original path to investigate the possibility of shooting on the spot.
Natalie and Scarlett each took a DVD. Most of the time they were shooting while walking, especially Natalie, who often called to stop the team and asked Alan Ruston for a few words. With the assistance of, climbed to the highest point on the roadside to take pictures of some landscapes.
The area here is vast and the weather is varied. There are many places in the park that are very remote and no one has set foot. The destination of Ryan and the others is the Blue John Canyon which is located on the edge of the western part of the park.
As the journey progresses, apart from rocks, sand and grass, there are almost no other sights. The path under your feet gradually turns into a canyon, and the rock walls on both sides are getting higher and higher and more rugged.
Looking up from all sides, one place and one scene, this is the function of the sun projected in.
The rock quality of the rock wall is not very hard. It is very similar to the kind of red clay that will be extremely sticky when exposed to water. There is sand in it. After years of rain washing, it has formed the weird look now.
"This area has loose sand and difficult roads. The canyons are deep and narrow." Alan Ruston is agile and strong. He is obviously a good player in field sports. Although he broke an arm, he didn't see any influence. Pointing to the surroundings and introducing Natalie, "The sandstone here may slip or move at any time. Even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit."
"It's hard to imagine how you survived five days and five nights."
Tyler grabbed Ryan, leaned on his shoulders, took off his sneakers, and poured out the small gravel that had fallen inside. "If I change to me, just the feeling of loneliness will break me."
"When a person is facing a desperate situation." Alan Ruston first glanced at the blue sky, then at his girlfriend who talked little around him, "Miss Swift..."
"Taylor, just call me Taylor."
"Well, Taylor." He said with emotion, "There will be two ways of courage and despair. Human beings are never weak. I have always believed in this."
"Allen." Ryan saw Natalie and Scarlett panting slightly, and reminded, "Find a place to rest for a while."
"There is a **** ahead." Alan Ruston took the lead.
You can faintly see the rock wall on the side of the canyon, as if suddenly cut off by someone, lying on the ground at a thirty-degree angle, not only dodging the cold wind passing by in the canyon, but also the golden sunlight , Spread on it like a carpet.
After traveling southward against the wind for a few minutes, Ryan and others arrived at this fairly ideal resting place. The group took off their backpacks and climbed up one after another, sitting scattered on the slope, enjoying the warm sunshine.
"Cold?"
Taking off his gloves, Ryan quickly rubbed his palms, and when he felt the heat, he forced a breath of heat in the palm of his hand, covering Natalie's blushing face by the wind.
Feeling the coldness on her face, Ryan said distressedly, "I've said it all, I'll do it, you have to do it yourself."
"I need enough material to make my own shooting more feel." Natalie leaned on him and said playfully, "You invested so much money, if you mess up, I can't afford to lose it."
"Don't you just mortgage yourself to Ryan?"
There came Tyler’s joking words She and Scarlett came over with a few pieces of dark chocolate, and after each handed over one piece, they sat across from them, “Don’t worry, Nat. Only 20 million dollars in investment."
Scarlett nodded and said in agreement, "Don't forget, some directors have invested more than 50 million US dollars in their first films, Nat, this pressure is nothing."
"With your support." Natalie patted her chest lightly. "I feel confident in it."
"That... are you talking about movies?"
Seeing Alan Aston walking by, Ryan made a random gesture to him, "Yes, we are discussing funding issues."
"Can you ask a question?"
He took the dark chocolate that Taylor handed over and said thank you. After Natalie nodded, he said, "Who is the hero of the movie?" (To be continued...)()
