Chapter 47 The Jenkins Act

The color of the villa is mainly off-white, and it looks a little cold, just like Nicole's temperament. The bedrooms of the two are on the second floor, but they are separated by a considerable distance, whether intentional or not.

Ryan's bedroom was three times bigger than before, and there was a large cloakroom attached to it. Although the newly bought piano, desk bookshelf and glass showcase for the statuette filled a lot of space, there was still some space. open.

After finishing the manuscripts and musical instruments, Ryan placed the photo of him and Nicole in the most conspicuous place, and hung the platinum necklace on the frame. Perhaps for other orphans, this necklace will have It has an extraordinary meaning, but to him, it is just an extremely beautiful necklace, and he has no interest in who his parents are in this life.

A separate phone was also installed in the room, which made it easier to argue with Natalie in the future, so Nicole didn't think they were arguing again after every phone call.

Thinking of Natalie, Ryan called New York, and after hearing Mrs. Shelley's shout, there was a burst of dense footsteps, followed by Natalie's voice.

Ryan? Why didn't I call you and didn't answer?

Nicole and I have just moved. Here's the new phone number and address, please take note.

So that's how it is. Natalie asked for a pen and paper, and then said, I haven't congratulated you yet, Mr. Best Supporting Actor!

Although it was a congratulatory word, the sour taste in it, even if the two were thousands of miles apart, Ryan could feel it.

Come on, Nate, didn't you read today's newspaper, you're all complaining to Joe Pixi. They just said by name that I'm not worthy of this little golden man, and they said that I won by relying on PR.

Those tabloids always like to attack you, isn't it normal for them to say that? Haven't you read the three major newspapers? They're all praising your achievements last year. Very rare, Natalie actually comforted him.

Ryan is just joking. This kind of voice will appear after any Oscar. People have natural sympathy for the losers. Besides, even God can't get everyone's praise, let alone him.

Nate, if I write a script for you, will you play it? After chatting for a while, Ryan asked tentatively. After all, Natalie has some pride and ambition of her own, and she always needs to find out before acting. If the attitude is self-defeating, it will not be worth the loss.

Well... The other end of the phone seemed to be thinking, and after a while Natalie said, If it's Home Alone, forget it.

I promise, absolutely not.

It was rare that the two of them didn't quarrel on the phone and hung up the phone. Ryan thought for a while and recalled that Natalie was still too young, and she had caused quite a bit of controversy in her previous life, so let's wait for a while. .

However, if this work is made by yourself, it will definitely attract overwhelming criticism, and that's fine, it can always block some bullets for the idols of the previous life.

All right! He admitted that in his previous life, he was a fan of the other party's brain, and he had seen all the movies she had acted in more than once, even if she was just an inconspicuous supporting role in them, even if it was his least favorite literary film, and even, for a while , her figure was like a nightmare, circling in his mind until she stepped on the Oscar stage and lifted the golden statue, when he saw her bloated body and the French beside him, all the Dreams are awake.

certainly,

Although he is a little crazy and obsessed, he will never shoot his idol like a fan of John Lennon, nor will he assassinate his idol to attract attention like a fan of Jodie Foster. America president.

Although it was filled with a lot of furniture, the villa was only inhabited by him and Nicole. It still seemed a little empty, but the benefits were equally obvious. Not to mention that when Ryan was practicing his musical instrument, he would not cause any protests from the neighbors. It was just the paparazzi who harassed him less. a lot.

There is a surveillance camera system at the gate of the villa. If those guys dare to break into the house privately, just wait for the prison meal. Besides, this is Beverly Hills. firepower.

...

In the face of consortia and capital, whether it is a reporter or a paparazzi, they will be cautious. They are very aware of the power of money in this country, but when their opponent is the director of a welfare institution, or As a black dean, the energy they can exert can be imagined.

If it is the government or the police, the legality of the procedure may also need to be considered, but these guys who don’t mind going to hell in order to chase news will do anything to bribe, disguise, instigate, etc. Anyone with a discerning eye actually knows what the orphanage looks like.

Three days, just three days, they dug up all the past of the Norston Welfare Institute, published it in newspapers, and presented it to the people of the United States.

To put it simply, before 1986, there were not many problems in this orphanage, but after the old dean retired and the new dean took over, it became a hell for orphans.

Child abuse, deduction of funds, trampling on adoption laws and children's laws, and misappropriation of other people's property at will, all fell on the head of the black pig, Dean Messi, in almost a day. A woman with dark skin, instantly became famous all over the United States.

With the publication of a related article in the newspaper, people quickly remembered the article in the California Independent, and they immediately understood why Ryan Jenkins had not said thank you to the dean, if in the After encountering such an incident, he has to thank her, it is not a super genius, but a super stupid.

At the same time, the California Independent has also become the object of criticism from all the media, even if some of them are their comrades in the same trench.

On this azure planet, no matter which country it is, political correctness is essential, not to mention, it also involves 'freedom' and 'human rights'.

The reporter who wrote the article could only get out of the newspaper in a dreadful manner, while the editor-in-chief of the California Independent personally apologized to Ryan on the front page.

The police quickly took control of Ms. Macy and several black helpers. They were not just apologizing, but were facing several felony charges.

The incident did not end here. Many large media began to discuss the status quo of welfare institutions in the United States and the adoption law, calling on the whole society to give more care to orphans. The Supreme Court should review the current adoption law and fill the loopholes in it to prevent There will be people who profit from it.

At this time, not only the paper media, but even the three major TV networks joined in, and this topic became the focus of the United States.

Although Ryan detonated the incident, the follow-up development was completely beyond his expectations. He never thought that such a seemingly simple matter would cause a great discussion in the United States, and he also gained a lot from it. the benefits of.

The most direct one is in terms of fame. If his influence was only in the film and literary circles before, but now he has become a celebrity in the United States. In a short period of time, the limelight has overshadowed the US military who just won the Gulf War.

Under the huge discussion and pressure in the United States, the revised version of the Adoption Law was soon released. In order to distinguish the old version, the media and the public simply called it the Jenkins Act!

The unscrupulous boy, in this way, has carved his unique mark in the history of America.

After the incident subsided a little, Ryan asked Ms. Kingsley to donate one million dollars to the American Orphan Charitable Foundation in his own name. The money is not much, but he can earn a good name for himself. Why not? For what.

Sitting in front of the piano in the living room, Ryan's slender fingers landed on the black and white keys of the piano, and Moonlight Sonata looked unusually cheerful, just like his mood at the moment.

He admits that he has never been a broad-minded person, and he will be grateful to those who are truly kind to him, such as Nicole, but if he offends him, he will also do anything to retaliate, even if he waits for years for it.

In this country that is extremely pursuing personal freedom, the famous saying that has not been cut in half - repaying grievance with virtue, why repay virtue!

The media is hot on the topic of welfare homes and orphans, and he is the focus of this incident. At this time, he can only hide at home. Otherwise, as long as he shows up anywhere in Los Angeles, he will become the target of siege and interception within a few minutes. .

Speaking of which, this semester is even more excessive than the last semester. Last semester, there was still more than a month spent in school, and the time in school this semester can be counted with two slaps. If it wasn’t for the school Based on the sponsorship he donated, I am afraid he has already received a warning of expulsion.

Last year was a busy year, but also a year of great harvest. Not to mention himself, just Nicole Kidman, because of his relationship, he broke into Hollywood no longer as a vase but as an acting school. He also managed to stand firm.

Of course, no one will ignore her glamorous appearance. With the Best Supporting Actress nomination and Sleepless in Seattle selling well, many advertisers came to the door with waving checks, although it was far from the four-minute commercial she shot in her previous life, The exaggerated level of harvesting millions of dollars has also made her pockets completely bulged, and her remuneration has gradually reached the level of Hollywood's first-line actresses.

Ryan, are you ready? It's time for us to go. Nicole walked into the living room in a bright red evening dress.

Nicole, I was ready an hour ago. Looking at Nicole who was dressed up, Ryan sighed. It was time-consuming and labor-intensive for a woman to dress up. This time it was fine. He waited for her on Oscar day Four full hours.

They are going to a charity dinner. The organizer is Gerald, the director of Warner's film business. Most of the people invited are from the entertainment and media circles. As the two hottest people last year, they were naturally invited by him.
