The knock on the door woke Ryan from his sleep, opened his eyes slowly, turned his head to look at the bedroom door, and the tall figure of Nicole Kidman had already pushed the door and walked in.

Ryan, it's time to get up, or you'll be late. Nicole walked to the bed.

Ah... After yawning, Ryan shook his head and muttered, Nicole, can you ask me a few days off from school?

Ask for leave? Nicole's face turned dark. Ryan, you want to ask for leave again just a few days after school starts?

Please! Ryan Baba looked over, I'm so tired recently, last night's Grammy...

All right.

Nicole sighed. After all, she has seen Ryan's recent busyness. At the same time, she has conceived and written several scripts, the promotion and signing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and she has to take time to practice new songs. Yesterday, I went to participate again. The Grammys...

To say that she is not distressed, it must be false. There is a bit of helplessness in her light blue eyes. Outsiders will only envy and envy Ryan's scenery, but who knows what kind of efforts he has put in behind?

Tell me, how long please? Like everything in the past, only Nicole would give in.

How about a month?

What I'm talking about is the current Ryan.

Ryan~

Nicole's face darkened even more, and she couldn't help bending over and patted him lightly through the thin blanket.

Then you are fine.

Grabbing that hand, Ryan pulled it gently, Nicole sat on the edge of the bed, and couldn't help pinching his ear lightly.

Probably just woke up, confused and impulsive, Ryan moved his head to the side of the bed, resting his head on Nicole's thigh as he did when he was a child, and buried most of his face in her flat belly. between.

Nicole, I haven't slept like this in a long time. I miss it...

The dazed young man said something he didn't understand in an angry voice, and put his hand around her slender waist.

Through thin clothes,

Ryan breathed the familiar breath and was a little intoxicated, but the next moment, he suddenly felt Nicole's body trembling slightly, realizing that he was not a child now. Nicole should be angry for doing this.

Quickly retracting his head, Ryan took a peek at Nicole's face. The Australian girl bit her lip, her face was not very good-looking, and she seemed to be holding back something.

Yes...sorry. Nicole, I apologize.

It was rare to see Nicole's expression like this. Ryan thought she was out of anger, and he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

The Australian girl let out a long sigh at this time, and seemed to disperse something, and then her slightly icy voice came, Get up. I'll go and ask you for leave.

When the door slammed shut, Ryan's eyes were a little straight, and he sighed that as he got older, his ability to control himself in some aspects seemed to be getting worse.

Lifting the quilt, Ryan couldn't help but glance down. The hormones in puberty are like air defense radars with alarms installed. screaming.

What about the self-control you are proud of? Be calm! It won't be long before you grow up! Then you have enough capital!

After washing up, Ryan walked out of the bathroom and kept admonishing himself in his heart.

Putting on his home clothes, before going out, Ryan glanced at the glass showcase and the two statuettes. A gramophone has a long way to go.

Lisa, go and warm up your breakfast. And Ryan, don't read the newspaper during breakfast.

Go down the stairs with the large envelope. Ryan had just picked up a thick stack of newspapers, and Nicole's voice had come over there.

All right.

Ryan responded, took the newspaper and sat on the sofa in the living room, and took advantage of the time before breakfast to have a look, okay?

Scanning through the current affairs section, Ryan set his sights on the entertainment section that was closely related to him, because the Grammys just ended last night, and most newspapers' entertainment section headlines were given to it.

As usual, there are different kinds of reports, some who call Qu Mingji, some who criticize the recording association's award standards, some who sing praises for certain singers, and some who write red carpet gossip.

No matter what kind of newspaper, one of the key points is that Michael Jackson won the Contemporary Legend Award. Most people think that in ten or twenty years, no one will be able to surpass him in terms of pop music.

Of course, there are still many people who throw sewage. Many newspapers, including many mainstream media, have taken out his skin to talk about it.

Ryan was too lazy to read these true and false news, and there were many articles criticizing him.

Eric Clapton is more deserving of Album of the Year than Ryan Jenkins, and the Recording Society gave this award to Ryan just to quell the grievances of his massive fan base, or God knows it Will the energetic little guy tear down the Grammys?

The success of Ryan Jenkins' first solo album is more about business than Eric Clapton's artistically. The Recording Association has bowed its head in front of business. A sadness...

Such criticism and grievances will appear after every awards ceremony, Ryan won't care, do they say more useful? Will the Recording Society strip him of his award? Take the phonograph back?

There are more media praising him than criticizing him, and a report in the New York Times is very representative.

Ryan Jenkins is a well-deserved album of the year. We thought Ryan was the most likely Rookie of the Year out of three nominations, but the Grammys kept Consistent style, the award is given to the rap group development block, but the heavier album of the year is given to Ryan.

We don't have to judge the standards of the Recording Association, we just need to look at the quality of Ryan's first solo album, which has sold more than 10 million copies in North America to date. According to incomplete statistics, global sales There are definitely more than 15 million copies, of which he, Climbing and Because of You have successively reached the top of the Billboard chart, and the grasp of popular elements...

Nicole's hand suddenly fell on the newspaper, and Ryan had to put the newspaper down and walked into the restaurant.

The breakfast was very simple, omelettes on toast, toasted muffins, and a big glass of hot milk. Looking at the young housekeeper, Ryan suddenly remembered another thing.

Lisa, there's a letter on the table in the living room, mail it to New York for me, thank you.

A letter to Miss Natalie? Lisa asked casually.

Um.

After breakfast, Ryan walked back to the living room and found Nicole sitting on the sofa, frowning and flipping through some documents, and calling from time to time to discuss something with others.

What is this? Ryan walked over.

Do you want to help me, dear? Nicole handed over a copy.

Looking at the table and figures above, Ryan couldn't help being dizzy, and he could guess without looking closely that it must be the financial statement sent by him and Nicole's accountant.

This is the statement sent by Scott and the accounting firm. Nicole's words confirmed his guess.

Accounts that are cross-audited by lawyers, accountants and foundations rarely have any flaws. Ryan used to look at the statements, but then he simply pushed all the work to Nicole. He knew that he was not the one. , instead of wasting time on this, it is better to write and draw.

The publishing house's royalties last year and the prepaid royalties, the Hollywood record company's share, the Jenkins film's share of the revenue, your script and adaptation rights share... Well, there are our film fees and advertising contract income, and then there is the name stocks and fixed industries.”

Nicole flipped through the accounts while giving a simple explanation for Ryan. As a guardian, she was the controller of these properties in name, but in fact, she seldom interfered with Ryan's investment actions.

Did we get all our income last year? Ryan asked.

Accepted. Nicole nodded, suddenly remembering something. I heard Scott say, you want to buy Pixar?

That's right.

Ryan nodded. The current situation of Pixar seems to be worse than what he knew in his previous life. Although it was next year that Steve Jobs would sell Pixar for the last time, and then he gritted his teeth and persevered when no one cared. Well, I don't want to wait any longer. Who knows if there will be accidents in this year.

Ryan, this isn't a $2 million acquisition of a game studio, and it's a project that Scott has been looking at for a long time, and the deal could be in the tens of millions of dollars, don't you think that's too hasty? ?

Obviously, Nicole, like Scott Swift, is not optimistic about the future development of Pixar. This is normal. In fact, few people in the entire industry are optimistic about them. Otherwise, Jobs would not want to sell every year but always fail to sell. go out.

Nicole, this is not a hasty decision. Do you remember the charity party we attended two years ago?

Charity Gala? Nicole remembered immediately, when Ryan had also said a few words to Steve Jobs, the owner of Pixar, Wouldn't it be...

That's right, Scott's team has been watching them since not long after, I don't want to say anything about the future of 3D computer animation. Ryan looked at Nicole very seriously, If they make a The 3D animation movie is a big success, we will launch Pixar, and you and I will be worth billions, and we will become the top group of people in Hollywood.

What about failure? Nicole was unmoved.

Even if we fail, our net worth will shrink by half at most. With our age, this is nothing at all, isn't it?

Ryan pinched his chin and spent such a large sum of money that he didn't even have to think about it without the guardian's signature. Originally, he wanted to find other opportunities to convince Nicole. Now that he has talked about this aspect, he simply said it.

Besides, Pixar is more than just buying hands. It takes a lot of money to maintain its daily operation, and it is also a lot of investment to make Toy Story. (To be continued.
