Chapter 282： On call

The black Bentley elegantly parked in front of the Century City Shopping Plaza. Ronan got his things and got out of the car, raised his hand to look at his watch, and walked towards the main entrance of the mall. He quickly entered a fast-food chain burger restaurant without going to the front desk. Order food and walk towards the store.

There are not many people in the shop. In the corner of the deck, a girl with long golden curly hair is beckoning: "Ronan, here."

Ronan immediately walked over, pulled the chair away and sat on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Good afternoon, Amanda."

Amanda Seyfried tilted her head to look at Ronan and said, "You seem to be stronger."

Ronan said honestly: "I have been working out."

"So it's like this." Amanda nodded and asked: "Are you hungry? I'll go buy food."

Ronan took out his wallet from his briefcase: "I'll go."

Amanda stood up: "Didn't you say it's okay, I'll treat you today."

"Okay." Ronan was also polite: "You can watch and buy."

Amanda smiled. It seemed that she was very happy to invite Ronan to dinner. She leaped to the front desk to order a meal. After a while, she returned with a large tray filled with fast food such as fried chicken and burgers.

"Very rich." Ronan was very generous.

Amanda returned to the chair opposite and said, "Eat, don't be polite to me."

Ronan grabbed a hamburger and ate it. Amanda did a good job of picking up another hamburger and ate it too.

"It tastes good." Ronan swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "The sauce used is very special."

Amanda's mouth was full of food, and the cheeks on both sides bulged high, seeming to answer a few words, but made a whining sound and couldn't hear what was said.

She hurriedly swallowed the food, trying to talk to Ronan, a little too anxious, and suddenly choked, her already very big eyes, instantly staring wider.

Ronan took a glass of Happy Water and stuffed it to Amanda. Amanda took a big sip and hiccuped. Then he said, "Eating too fast, it's a little choking."

"Don't worry." Ronan pointed to Happy Water: "Drink some more."

Amanda bit the straw, took another sip, and said embarrassingly, "Am I too unfair?"

Ronan smiled and said, "It's okay, eat a fast food, we don't pay much attention to it."

Amanda pinned a strand of long blonde hair that was hanging down behind her ears, and said, "Let's continue."

Ronan could tell that Amanda Seyfried likes to eat these kinds of fast food very much, so she responded and continued to deal with the burger in front of her.

Just like the last time, Ronan had eaten a burger and didn't move anymore. Amanda not only ate her own burger and chicken legs, but also killed Ronan's chicken legs.

No wonder it has developed so well. Ronan finally understood that he can only grow if he can eat and drink.

Amanda drank the last sip of Happy Water, smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Mom usually doesn't let me eat these things, so I finally came out..."

Ronan nodded and said a few words from time to time as he listened to Amanda. The two were like ordinary friends, chatting together on various topics.

"Your mother is still very strict?" Ronan asked.

"Yes." Amanda was full of distress: "I will be sixteen by the end of the year, and I have no freedom at all."

She mumbled: "Even if my mother doesn't have time, she will let uncle look at me, as if I would run away if I didn't pay attention."

Ronan asked curiously: "Your uncle didn't accompany you today?"

Amanda shook her head: "No, I told you to meet you. Mom agrees."

Ronan touched his nose, and it seemed that Mrs. Seyfried was quite relieved of him.

Amanda said at this time: "Uncle Conan is very long-winded, always asking questions curiously, thinking that we are friends and abnormal."

Ronan frowned: "Why would he think this way?"

Could it be that people called Conan are so troublesome by nature? If you don't have trouble, you can find some trouble?

"Don't worry about him." Amanda waved her hand and strengthened her tone: "It's normal that we are friends."

Ronan said: "It's normal." He didn't want to dwell on this topic, and asked instead: "Amanda, last time you said you want to apply for a high school in Los Angeles, how is it now?"

Amanda said with a little excitement: "It has passed! After this summer vacation, I will go to Berkeley Middle School to study high school, and I can stay in Los Angeles for a long time."

She quietly stretched out her hand on the table, touched Ronan intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "I can call you out to eat a hamburger at any time in the future."

Ronan smiled and said, "Any time."

Amanda was obviously very happy and said, "I can't wait to wait for the start of my high school career. It is said that high school life is very interesting, and there are various clubs..."

Most of the time, it was Amanda Seyfried who said that Ronan played the role of a listener.

Perhaps the family's parents are too strict, and Amanda Seyfried rarely communicates with other people, resulting in a lot of talk in front of Ronan.

Ronan occasionally interjects a few words, and Jr. Anderson has also read American high schools, so he has some insight in this regard.

Gradually, the topic turned to the movie.

"I went to the post-dubbing of "Resident Evil" last week." Amanda said: "When will this film be released?"

Ronan told the truth: "It will be next spring at the earliest." Thinking of the purpose of this visit, he asked: "Amanda, have you taken a new job recently?"

Amanda Seyfried shook her head: "After the producer last time, I didn't pick up other people's films. I was a little scared..."

Ronan knew what she was talking about and wanted to comfort him, but suddenly found that his words were poor, because the chances of encountering similar things again were too high.

This is the epitome of the Hollywood environment.

Amanda Seyfried opened his eyes wide, took a peek at Ronan, and said, "I think it's better to work with you."

Ronan thought for a while, simply opened the briefcase, took out a document, and handed it to Amanda: "It was originally intended for your mother. You can take a look first. Go back and give it to your mother. Isn't your mother still your agent? "

"Yes." Amanda quickly took over and said, "Is this a new script?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "An action movie with a high school student in it, which is perfect for you."

Amanda quickly opened the script and read it carefully.

Ronan did not speak, leaving time for Amanda to read. Looking at Amanda who was reading carefully, he suddenly thought of Tom Cruise.

According to Tom Cruise, when he was fifteen or sixteen, not to mention reading literature, even reading newspapers was very difficult.

It seems that there are not a few teenagers in the United States with similar conditions.

Dyslexia in English seems to be a relatively common phenomenon.

The script that Ronan brought was only part of it, mainly about the role of daughter Jinmi. Amanda's reading ability was not a problem, and she would finish reading it soon.

She blinked her big bright eyes and asked Ronan: "This story..."

Amanda didn't seem to know what to say, and she scratched her blonde hair before she figured out her words: "Ronan, is this story in your imagination?"

Ronan did not answer, but asked, "Why do you say that?"

Amanda closed the script and said: "Knock the girls who are traveling and use drugs to control them. This sounds a bit exaggerated."

Hearing this, Ronan was stunned for a moment, and then he wanted to understand.

Amanda Seyfried’s family conditions are not particularly good, but it’s not bad. It can be classified into the middle-class white class. With Mrs. Seyfried’s protection and the girl’s always better fantasy about the world, Let her rarely come into contact with the dark side of society.

Ronan said: "This is not an exaggeration. Amanda, the prototype of this story was told by a French police officer during my participation in the Cannes Film Festival last year."

This is of course nonsense, but Ronan has a good view of Amanda Seyfried and decided to remind this young and beautiful girl: "I learned from the police officer that there is a person in the city of Paris who will A criminal gang that concealed his true identity and specifically forcibly took young women away. Then, these girls would be taken to a luxurious villa in the suburbs of Paris, where they would be auctioned off."

Amanda was obviously a little shocked, her eyes wide open, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Ronan smiled and said: "Don't run around, don't have too much contact with unfamiliar people, the probability of this happening is still very small."

Amanda looked down at the script and said, "After reading this story, I suddenly felt that society is dangerous."

Ronan took the opportunity to say: "Human traffickers are everywhere in this society, but not everyone has the agent dad."

This film seems dark and realistic, but in fact it is romantic in nature. A retired American agent whose daughter was kidnapped and sold as a prostitute in Paris by traffickers, his father went to Paris alone to beat the entire gang alone, while facing the corrupt Paris police. The attack of the world is "an enemy of the whole country", and the daughter can finally be rescued.

Amanda Seyfried suddenly showed a somewhat thinking look, and after a while, said to Ronan, "Thank you, Ronan."

"Huh?" Ronan wondered: "Thank me for what I do?"

Amanda smiled sweetly: "I know you are reminding me this way, I can feel your friendship and care."

Ronan has the urge to cover his forehead, Amanda Seyfried obviously thinks too much.

However, he did not explain too much, saying: "Are you interested in this role?"

Amanda nodded quickly: "I like your script and character."

Ronan reminded: "Remember to give your mother the script. If your mother agrees, ask her to talk to George Clint about your appearance in this film."

Based on his understanding, Mrs. Seyfried would like this kind of educational subject matter very much, and she would definitely let Amanda Seyfried take over the role.

The filming process of this film can be regarded as a re-education of the dark side of society.
