Chapter 350 Determine the Director

Frowning, Ryan looked at Natalie on the tennis court. The Long Island girl was being tortured to death by Taylor. He sighed softly and said loudly, Darlings, go ahead, I'm here as a guest.

You are free. Natalie waved her hand in time.

Before returning to the villa, Ryan walked into the living room, and saw a blond girl with her arms crossed, admiring the Oscar statuette in the glass cabinet. She was wearing blue-and-black tights, leather boots of the same color, and her upper body The blouse jacket showed off his slender and graceful figure to his heart's content.

Hi, Charlie.

South African diamonds seemed to be in a trance, so Ryan had no choice but to say hello.

Ah... Charlize Theron turned her head, first smiled shyly, then noticed Ryan's clothes, and asked curiously, Are you working out?

Playing tennis with some friends. Ryan motioned her to sit down and asked, Why are you here?

I came here to express my thanks. Charlize Theron pouted slightly.

Thanks? Ryan asked a little strangely.

I called several times, but you always said I was busy, so I had no choice but to come. Charlize Theron's eyes swept over his sportswear, even if Ryan had a thick skin, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, South African Diamond was very careful and did not let this atmosphere last, and continued, Some time ago, the Golden Globe Awards announced the nomination list, and As Good as It Gets brought me a nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series. Thank you in person, but no chance...

Ryan just remembered that after As Good as It Gets was released, Charlize Theron received unanimous praise. In her previous life, Helen Hunt was able to win the Oscar for Best Actress for this role, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. It's a normal thing, if the public relations are good, it is not impossible to nominate the Oscar for Best Actress.

Congratulations. Ryan thought for a while, I will inform Pat. I will do my best to fight for you.

Compared with the Oscars, the Golden Globes are more susceptible to external factors. With Charlize Theron's qualifications, it is almost impossible to convincingly win the Oscar for Best Actress, but the Golden Globes still has hope of.

Ryan...

Before Charlize Theron could speak, she heard several girls chatting and laughing from outside, and then three girls in sportswear, big, middle and small, walked in. She knew the youngest one, and the other two although not very familiar with. I've heard a lot about them before.

Ryan? Is this your guest? Taylor urged with Natalie's fingers behind him,

He opened his mouth, It seems very familiar.

Charlize, this is Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson... Before Ryan could introduce her, the little girl said by herself, I'm Taylor Swift.

Hi everyone, I'm Charlize Theron, you can call me Charlie.

Charlize Theron extended her hand generously. She shook hands with three people one by one, and even Ryan didn't notice. When she and Natalie held hands, an inexplicable meaning flashed in her eyes.

Ryan. I'm going to change. Natalie pulled up the two girls, turned into the corridor on the other side, and pushed open the door of the dressing room.

What is she doing here? Scarlett muttered, I heard from the brokerage company that this woman is very scheming.

It's probably Ryan's friend.

Natalie helped Taylor tidy up her clothes, and said nonchalantly, Maybe there is something urgent?

Nate. You rarely come to Los Angeles. Maybe you don't know. Scarlett Johansson leaned over to Natalie and reminded, She seems to have a good relationship with Ryan, and it is Ryan who can get the Golden Globe nomination. Because of the character recommended by Eun. Nat, you never got it, she is a threat...”

Hey, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Taylor protested.

I mean……

After being pulled down by Natalie, Scarlett Johansson obediently shut her mouth.

What the hell is it? She was too curious.

My dear, you will understand when you grow up.

Although Natalie treats her like her own sister, she understands that this little guy has a standard big mouth and knows and is familiar with many people in the circle. After learning some secrets, she is not sure how to spread them around.

After changing clothes, Taylor sat on a chair beside him, sullenly took out a lollipop, and chewed it with a crunchy sound.

What do we do next? she asked grumblingly.

Go play pool or video games? Scarlett Johansson suggested.

No, let's go to the living room.

Natalie put on her leather boots and walked out of the dressing room first. Behind her, Scarlett stuck out her tongue and pulled Taylor to catch up.

In the empty living room, Ryan and Charlize Theron were sipping coffee and talking about their recent situation. South African Diamond was still as careful as ever, and could easily find topics that two people were interested in at the same time.

It's such a pity that you didn't go to France in the summer. Charlize Theron said that this year's World Cup was held in France. No one thought that Brazil would surrender their guns so easily in the final. There is nothing Ronaldo can do against the French defense.

I read that many people in the report accused the game of having problems. Ryan recalled many rumors from his previous life.

Who knows. Charlize Theron shrugged, After listening to what you said about FIFA, I also feel that the World Cup is far from what I imagined. I even bought Brazil to win, but lost one. Big money.

How much? Ryan laughed.

Thousands of dollars. Charlize Theron also responded with a bright smile, It's just for fun.

Don't you like football very much? Why didn't you go to France? she asked again.

Ryan is too busy.

Before Ryan could answer, a crisp female voice next to him took over, He's been flying around all summer.

After Natalie finished speaking, she took the other two girls and sat on the couch beside Ryan.

Ryan, can I invite you to England during the Christmas holidays? Charlize Theron's gaze subconsciously swept over Natalie's face, which was extremely calm.

Sorry. This is not the time to hesitate, Ryan quickly shook his head, The Rest of the Deserted Island is selected for the Christmas file.

It's okay, I was negligent. She then changed her tone. Then it's okay to invite me to your premiere?

certainly.

This is normal communication, and Ryan will naturally not refuse.

Well, I'll be there on time.

Charlize Theron's eyes flicked across Natalie's face again, she shook her head secretly, and stood up, That's all for today, Ryan, I should go back.

I'll have someone take you back. Ryan said politely.

No, I drove here by myself.

Before walking out of the living room, Charlize Theron turned around and said something again. If I have time, I will go to USC.

After sending off the South African diamonds, Ryan just returned to the living room when he heard Taylor's strange cry from inside, Wow, the outsiders are gone, now I don't have to pretend to be a lady, I can finally relax.

The little girl lay on her back on the large sofa, pillowing Natalie's legs. He narrowed his eyes, I'm tired from playing, I'll sleep for a while.

Don't be too accommodating to her. Ryan came over and rubbed Taylor's blond hair. He asked, Nat, don't you need to go out on location this afternoon?

Um.

Beverly Hills is the main location for her filming of The End of the Heart.

Let's eat first, then. Jenkins Films after lunch.

Pulling Taylor up, Ryan beckoned the other two to go to the restaurant, I specifically told Lisa to make the kitchen cook your favorite dishes.

The person Ryan asked to meet at Jenkins Films was Chris Columbus, and despite the lack of good enough work after the Home Alone series, Ryan still made him the first choice.

When they came to Jenkins Films, Natalie took the other two girls to the editing room. She never forgot her dream of being a director. Ryan went directly to the reception room. After a short wait, Chris Columbus arrived.

Ryan, you have grown up in a blink of an eye. Chris Columbus can be regarded as one of the most qualified people to say this sentence. When Home Alone was filmed, Ryan was just a thin kid .

You're old too, Chris. Ryan joked, pointing to the table and asked, Coffee or black tea?

black tea.

After Ryan finished pouring the black tea, he took a sip and asked, Ryan, why me? Many directors who are better than me almost broke their heads for this position.

Since Ryan announced that the Harry Potter series of movies was on the agenda, countless directors have come to recommend themselves. Everyone knows that this is definitely a good opportunity to gain both fame and fortune.

Chris, I still remember the scene when I was filming Home Alone. The whole set was like a happy party. Not only are you good at making movies for all ages, but you are also the director who is the easiest to get along with children.

Ryan made a gesture that you understand, Among the cast of Harry Potter, there will be a large group of children.

It seems that I am more like a kindergarten principal? He laughed, and then asked seriously, The Harry Potter series has turned to darkness since the third part, and I am not suitable for that style.

I will look for a suitable director at that time. Ryan poured black tea for him again.

The film is really going to be made in England?

Yes. Seeing Ryan nodding, Chris Columbus sighed, It seems that I will temporarily move my family to London. This is a big project.

So you agreed? Ryan raised his eyebrows.

Do I have a choice?

He murmured in his heart that those who refused must be fools, However, I will also be the producer.

No problem. Ryan agreed without hesitation, and added, Not only the producer, Chris, but you will also be responsible for the entire casting work, and you have the final say on the film crew's affairs.

What about you, the original author and investor?

I believe we are on the same page the vast majority of the time.

Ryan and Chris Columbus laughed at the same time. (to be continued..) ()
