Chapter 9 Persuasion

Because of Ryan's intelligence and precociousness, Nicole rarely intervenes in his affairs unless necessary. For the first time in history, if he refused directly for him this time.

Harvey Weinstein didn't stalk him. After all, this is Hollywood. Anyone can have fun without it. Of course, he didn't give up. Before leaving, he left a sentence, You can contact me anytime if you change your mind. .

In any case, Nicole is his guardian. Ryan knows very well that as long as she keeps objecting, there is almost no room for manoeuvre, and he also knows that Nicole is doing this just for a better Protect him, let him have a complete childhood and grow up happily.

However, I have been planning for more than three years, and I have spent almost all of my time and energy on this. Now the opportunity is in front of me. If I miss it like this, it is really time to go to Southampton to take the Titanic.

Ryan, what do you think? It was the agent who asked. Unlike Nicole, who was blindfolded, she could somewhat guess some of the boy's thoughts.

Instead of answering, Ryan went back to his room, took the envelope containing the manuscript, and handed it to Jinsley, Pat, this is my latest work, and...

He glanced at Nicole, who was sitting silently on the other side, and leaned into her ear and said, Can you go back first, I want to talk to Nicole alone.

Okay then. Although she couldn't help but want to say a few words, Jinsley left after thinking about it for a while.

The living room was silent again, and the boy and girl sitting opposite each other didn't want to speak, so you looked at me, I looked at you, but the two pairs of blue eyes were staring at each other's pupils. It seems that they are doing communication that only they themselves understand.

Ryan, do you really want to be an actor? Maybe a few minutes or a long time later, Nicole Kidman spoke first, Don't deny it, I can feel your heartbeat.

After all, they had been living with each other for several years, and it was not surprising that Ni might have seen his inner thoughts in a short period of time. The boy first smiled, and then nodded slowly and firmly.

There is no need for denial, is there? This script was carefully selected by him, not only for himself, but also for Nicole. Since in a previous life, another Australian woman could win praise for this role at the age of twenty-six, it was in his eyes. Why can't the no-frills Nicole Kidman do this?

Yes, Nicole is younger than that woman and has a standard vase appearance, but through makeup and post-production, she can completely make her appearance less attractive, and play a strong and independent single mother across ages, Once successful, the praise received can be imagined.

As for failure, of course there is that possibility, but Ryan is convinced that as long as he stands in front of Nicole, will the feelings the character want to express still be a problem?

In some respects, the boy is still a conscientious person. Since Nicole took in him and doted on him during his most difficult and darkest times, he would naturally repay him, and perhaps in other ways he It can't help her too much, and it can only cause trouble, but it's still possible to push her to a higher position than her previous life in a faster way.

Ryan, you know, when I saw those stories you wrote, I thought you would be a good writer in the future, when you can speak Chinese and French fluently, I think you will be a good writer in the future It's not bad to be a diplomat, last year when you made your first piece independently,

I said to myself, maybe Ryan can be a musician.

Nicole sighed and began to analyze for the boy, You are precocious, smart, and far more sensible than ordinary children. Although you are a little withdrawn, you hardly interact with your peers, and you sometimes get into trouble, but in my heart , you've always been the best.

Yes, as you write more and more works, you will be exposed to the spotlight sooner or later, but that should never be now, you have to know that an actor and a writer are two completely different professions, even if you just To be an ordinary actor, with your achievements in writing, those reporters and paparazzi will definitely dig out everything in your past and look at it under a magnifying glass, public figures have no private lives.”

Although I can't give you a complete home, I can't give you enough love, but at least I can give you a complete childhood. Hollywood is not as simple as you think, and being young and famous is not a good thing.

I see what you mean, Nicole. Since it's an equality conversation, of course boys have the right to express their opinions, In Hollywood, teenage adulthood often means the beginning of depravity, but it's not just the degenerate Drew Barrymore here. , and role models like Jodie Foster, not everyone will lose themselves in this Vanity Fair.

Okay, I ask you, Ryan. Nicole thought for a while and asked, Can you adapt to being chased by paparazzi reporters from big newspapers and tabloids, and not get angry in the face of their bottomless harassment and questions? You Can you adapt to a life without privacy and a sense of security? Can you handle complex interpersonal relationships well, and can you be well-rounded in this circle? Can you stay focused when faced with overwhelming criticism and scolding?

Maybe it can't be done completely now, but after a period of adaptation, these are not problems for me. Ryan looked extremely confident, You should know that I have enough ability and wisdom to face all this.

Although this kind of conversation has happened many times before, Nicole Kidman has a very strong illusion this time. She feels that she is not talking to a child or a child with independent thinking, but to a child. Have a debate with your peers.

God, what the hell, maybe it's time to test Ryan's IQ. Nicole thought subconsciously, but still said, Yes, Ryan, I never doubted your intelligence, even, I doubted that I was talking to a thirty-year-old, but these do not make me The reason to put you in that Vanity Fair.

Ryan curled his lips without a trace. Of course he wouldn't think that Nicole was suspicious of him. Anyway, his escaping thinking was normal in Nicole's eyes, but Nicole's words showed a hint of loosening, and he naturally wanted to. Pursue victory.

Nicole, don't you think you have to keep trying new things in life, keep breaking through yourself, and pursue your own world and ideals?

Ideal? Ideals often have an Atlantic distance from reality.

But people don't have ideals, so what's the difference between that and salted fish. Ryan didn't even think about it, the words popped out of his mouth, and Nicole couldn't help but be stunned, What is the difference between ideals and salted fish? relation?

Don't talk about it, Nicole. I know what worries you most, so if I encounter setbacks and failures, will you still provide me with a warm embrace like now?

certainly.

Do you think setbacks or blows will bring down people like me?

Won't.

Then do you think that after I make my grades, I will become a person who is unruly, reckless, partying all night, and ignores you? Or will I become a degenerate boy who is addicted to alcohol and drugs?

No! I never thought so. Nicole's face darkened unconsciously, God. Ryan, where did you learn all this shit, don't tell me it's school.

Come on, Nicole. Ryan waved his hand, knowing that he was a little too showy just now, what time is it now, TV, newspapers, magazines are all over the place, don't forget you subscribe when you are in London The Sun newspaper is almost full of gossip and scandal.

I have to say that the boy's ability to slap things is really good. Nicole was blocked by the words behind him and couldn't ask any more questions.

Okay, Nicole, these things are no big deal. Seeing Nicole's face getting darker and darker, Ryan quickly comforted.

Ryan, why do I feel like I'm not your sister, but you're more like my brother? Nicole Kidman raised her head suspiciously.

Isn't that right, adding up the past and present, I am more than enough to be your brother. Ryan murmured in his heart, and quickly changed the subject, So, Nicole, do you agree with me to play this role? The mother and child in the script have extraordinary meaning to me.

In order to strengthen his persuasion, Ryan had to talk again, but Nicole liked this one the most. As long as she thought of the content of the script, of a strong and independent mother and a lonely and helpless boy, she could not help but sigh.

Maybe it won't be as bad as I imagined, and it should be a wise choice to use such a film to commemorate this deep friendship between myself and Ryan.

Okay, Ryan, I agree, but... Before she could finish speaking, the excited boy threw himself into Nicole's arms from the opposite side, and kissed him hard on that fair and cold face. With a sip, I knew it, I knew it, Nicole, you are the best for me.

Nicole Kidman reluctantly took the boy into her arms, and said the unfinished warning, Ryan, remember what you said just now, if one day you become a Damn, I can't spare you.

Of course, of course. The boy nodded hastily, patted his chest and assured, The future Ryan Jenkins will definitely be a good five!

Regarding the two people working together to appear in The Sixth Sense, it was settled in this way. Naturally, Ms. Kingsley and her lawyer were sent to discuss with Miramax about the specific matters. All they had to do was wait.
