Chapter 1 The Orphanage in North Hollywood

I'm sorry, Lu Ming, I don't want this either. If we continue to be together, my dad... The long-haired girl let go of the hand she had been holding for ten years, walked away without looking back, and finally disappeared. .

An Xin~

The young man named Lu Ming opened another can of beer while muttering. Several months have passed. Whenever he thinks of the scene of the breakup, his heart still can't stop stinging. After all, ten years of love. !

In fact, he knew that this scene would happen sooner or later, but he always had an illusion, but the reality still punctured the bubble of fantasy.

He is an orphan who grew up in the streets and in welfare institutions. After graduating from junior high school, he became a film projectionist through self-study. After ten years of struggle, she became a well-known music producer. The status of the two became farther and farther. , one only knows that he is obsessed with the movie, and the other is famous, and it is normal to break up, isn't it?

People who grew up in the cold and lonely have lost the only light, and can only rely on alcohol to numb their nerves.

After listening to the beer again, Lu Ming suddenly felt breathless and weak all over. He couldn't help thinking of an alcohol allergy that he had not experienced for many years. The last attack almost killed him!

Is it going to end? His eyelids can no longer be lifted, but his heart is full of remorse. I am also a marginal person in the entertainment industry, why don't I know how to work hard? Would all of this still have happened if he could have been a dazzling big star?

...

Wow~

The crisp cry of the baby sounded, Lu Ming opened his eyes and found the fact that he was crushing. He became a baby, an abandoned baby lying alone at the door of the orphanage!

Is it... is it reborn? Back when it was abandoned? Wouldn't it be possible for him to show his strengths and start all over again?

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he felt dizzy for a while, and immediately realized that it was not good. The baby's brain couldn't support him to think about too many problems, and now he was deprived of oxygen.

Damn it! Is it going to die just after being reborn? Before he lost consciousness, he saw an old white lady pick him up.

A certain power in the sky made a big joke. Although he became an abandoned child born in 1980 for the second time, the location was changed from the ancient country of the East to the North Hollywood in Los Angeles. welfare home.

According to the engraved English on the necklace around his neck, he has a new name - Ryan? Jenkins!

I've become a jerk? This is the reality that Lu Ming or Ryan must accept.

Life in the orphanage is cold and boring. There is always a desire in the boy's heart, which drives him to learn all the knowledge he can get in touch with. Thanks to the extraordinary language talent of this world and the careful teaching of the old director, at the age of four he can already Fluent in listening, speaking and reading and writing English.

Staying in the orphanage was not a long-term solution, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to immerse himself in studying and reading as much as possible. Before he knew it, the books in the library made him turn over several times.

This year, in order to obtain more funding, the orphanage organized children over the age of four to participate in the Halloween parade in Hollywood. It was only then that he discovered that the famous Hollywood was just south of the orphanage.

The moment he set foot on the Avenue of Stars, the classic movies he had seen in his previous life and the English songs he had heard flashed into his mind immediately, as clearly as if they were engraved in his memory.

The parade made him very clear,

Over time, the boy found that his body was much stronger than his peers, his mind was exceptionally clear, he was especially sensitive to music and rhythm, and he had an extraordinary ability to construct pictures and words.

Although he doesn't know if he has any talent in acting, from the moment he opened his eyes, he was acting, first acting as a baby, then acting as a child, and in the future as a teenager and youth, even if some people think he is a little weird, But no one ever had doubts, acting has become an instinct for him.

Could it be that God heard the dying wish of a previous life and told me to go to Hollywood to roll? Ryan understands what his heart desires - to be a dazzling superstar!

That's fine, maybe you can see your favorite stars in your previous life with your own eyes, and become friends with them?

Although Ryan knew that Hollywood is a reality of Vanity Fair, not a dream theater of dreams, he still set himself an unattainable goal. Since he has lived a new life, he must realize some delusions of his previous life, right?

With goals, Ryan is more active in his studies, learning painting and music with students from the art college where he volunteers, and learning Chinese and Cantonese with Chinese-American staff - always making an excuse to speak Chinese.

In short, he studied everything related to art, and tried to describe the pictures in his mind in words. After two years of repeated training, he gradually formed his own style and characteristics.

Dean Katie had noticed the boy for a long time and always thought that he was the smartest child in the orphanage, but it was strange that no one wanted to adopt him, and they all thought that his character was too withdrawn and eccentric.

Ryan also has some impressions. There are many millionaires and even multi-millionaires who adopt orphans. He also fantasizes about becoming a family in the future, but some things seem to be doomed at the moment of rebirth. Until the age of six, he still live here.

Dean Katie is Ryan's only reader, probably because she is Jewish, and Ryan has some Jewish characteristics. She was only a little surprised at the beginning, and gradually became accustomed to the existence of a gifted child.

She collected all the works the boy used to practice his pen, picked out the best science fiction novels, and mailed them to an old friend in the magazine. Unexpectedly, these novels were published.

When Ryan saw the magazine handed over by the old dean, he knew that the hard work of the past few years had not been in vain, so let's start for the future!

In addition to routine exercise and study time, Ryan devoted himself to writing, or plagiarism, he began to adapt some famous children's movies into novella or short stories.

Novels and movies are different carriers. It takes a lot of work to change a movie into a text that can occupy the creativity and will not have a negative impact on the future, but it does not cause him too much trouble. With help, the short and medium stories including Home Alone and Toy Story were successfully published, the boy also received a payment, and the old dean even specially applied for a bank account for him.

These did not satisfy Ryan. He needed a heavyweight stepping stone. In the event of a bad future, he could knock on the door of Hollywood. He set his goal on a work with great influence - Jurassic Park !

He has never read the original novel of Jurassic Park, and can only adapt it according to the content of the movie. In order to match his age and identity of six years old, the first protagonist is placed on a little boy, not Dr. Grant.

Although there is a movie as a reference, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, the boy asked Dean Katie for help and collected a lot of information on dinosaurs and clones. The novel with less than 250,000 words took nearly four months to complete it through repeated revisions. .

Whether it's the beginning of writing or the final publication, the old dean has been very helpful. This Jewish woman has surprising social connections.

In the early winter of 1986, after a few months of tepid fire, the novel entered the top ten of the best-selling books in the United States, bringing Ryan a large amount of royalties.

At the same time, Dean Katie retired due to physical reasons. The newly appointed Dean was a black woman named Macy. The boy was keenly aware, and her eyes were full of disgust and greed when she looked at the orphan.

After the fat pig-like dean took office, the living standard of the orphanage plummeted, starvation gradually became the norm, beatings, insults and other behaviors became commonplace, and she even took advantage of the loopholes in the adoption system to marry her. Some adoption brokers jumped on the bandwagon and started an 'adoption' business where orphans were turned into humanoid cargo.

After reading a reply letter from Alien magazine, the black dean stared at the boy, especially after using the guardian's authority to search for his account, he was directly dizzy by a string of zeros.

Such a large sum of money actually belongs to a child. For her, what is not a godsend opportunity?

The matter was not as simple as she thought. Before she left, the old dean Katie realized that the money might bring trouble, and specially entrusted an old friend to find a reliable lawyer for the boy. It is almost impossible to get this money under the circumstances. The best way is to obtain Ryan's absolute trust and support.

It's a pity that she didn't understand that in the boy's body, there is a soul whose intelligence is only higher than hers. Her methods of flattering, enticing, deceiving and so on are as ridiculous as a circus clown in his eyes. , However, the boy's age and body incommensurate with wisdom determine that he has no actual ability to resist.

Starving, reprimanding, cursing, or even beating may frighten other children, but Ryan has never been afraid. In his previous life, he had experienced more severe tests than this in his childhood, and he had survived the tougher ones.

Dean Black Pig simply locked him in a secluded room, and let two black helpers take turns to monitor him. As long as he doesn't give in, he won't be free.

Time slipped into 1987, Ryan ushered in his second seven-year-old, his sky was already covered with dark clouds, and the boy began to look for opportunities. Waiting and being at the mercy of others was not the fate he wanted, although seven years. The number of times he has left the orphanage can be counted with one hand, but he still wants to break out of this cage, only the vast sky outside can withstand his soaring wings.

With continuous efforts, the door that locked the sky was finally removed by him. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the black helper to use the bathroom, he escaped from the orphanage.

When the morning light that fell from the sky caught his eyes, Ryan's body trembled slightly, and he understood how precious freedom is for human beings.
