Chapter 201 Kojima Frightened
If it was at home in Los Angeles, Nicole might not have considered it, but she didn't have to think about it in an outdoor venue with a lot of people.
Looking at Nicole rolling her eyes, Ryan shrugged her shoulders playfully and followed her to the crew's dining car.
A large area around the manor villa is full of private territories of the Spencer family, mostly woods and farmland. The crew's food and accommodation are mostly carried out in special trailers. There are also a small number of staff living in servant rooms in the manor.
Ryan has never intervened since he handed over "Far Cry" to Nicole. Although the shooting team was employed by Jenkins Pictures, she and Melanie Sloan were basically in charge of the crew, and Nicole also enjoyed the feeling of becoming a producer.
Nicole pulled Ryan and introduced several main members of the crew, such as the new director, the young actor who played her son, etc., and finally came to her dining table.
"This is Ms. Sloan, I guess I don't need to introduce it?"
Of course, Ryan knew the person Nicole said. After the filming of "The Killer Leon", the other party joined Jenkins Film and became a professional producer.
"Hi Melanie, long time no see."
"Hello, Ryan, I haven't seen you for more than a year. You've grown so tall."
The two of them had seen each other several times and had some impression of each other. After Ryan said hello, he looked at her side. It was a blonde girl.
She was standing next to her mother in a hurry, looking at Ryan as if she was a little uneasy, probably hesitating whether she should say hello.
"Hey, Ska, do you remember me?" Ryan mentioned his common friend, "Nateto, I'll say hello to you."
"Ryan, you're so tall..."
The girl looked up at Ryan with an irresponsible question, "I can't imagine that you are more handsome than before."
"Ska has grown up and knows whether the boy is handsome or not..."
Nicole gently rubbed her blonde hair and asked Ryan, "What do you want to eat? The conditions may be a little bit more rude."
"Just whatever you want."
The crew is out on the scene, so naturally they will not be too rich in catering. Ryan doesn't care. As long as Nicole is around, it doesn't matter what she eats.
"My role is Nicole's daughter... Well, how do you say it, this is a very personality girl, and it is not easy to play her well. Although some people privately say that it was because of my mother. I got this role, but I think I performed well."
At the dining table, four people whispered something while eating. When Ryan asked about her role, Scarlett Johnson seemed very confident. "Nico can prove it to me, although my acting skills are much worse than Nicole."
"You've done a great job, Ska."
Anyone who is happy to be complimented by a girl without any trace. What's more, Nicole has always liked children, "Among girls of the same age, I have never seen anyone who will perform better than you."
"Nat..." Scarlett lowered his head.
"She doesn't count." This time it was Ryan who spoke. "How many girls can do that to her level?"
"That's right. If every little actor had to do with you and Natby, that would be a big blow." Scarlett raised his head again, "But I'll catch up."
"Dear, you'd better play this role first." Melanie smiled and looked at her daughter.
"Skay has done a great job, just keep it going."
From Nicole's words, Ryan could hear that she was really satisfied with the performance of this New York girl.
He heard Nicole mention that although this character has undergone a small audition, several people performed better than Scarlett Johnson, but Nicole finally finalized her. This is what Hollywood is like. If the difference is not too much, opportunities will definitely be left to their own people.
In the next few days, Ryan stayed safely on the crew and became a temporary assistant for Nicole. Everyone knew their sibling relationship. Seeing the intimate interaction between the two, they did not feel abnormal. Instead, they felt that their relationship was better than the rumored ones.
“I miss the taste of chocolate pie a little.”
This was something Nicole said accidentally during the shooting, and Ryan immediately drove dozens of miles—the drive was George—and bought freshly baked chocolate pie from Edinburgh’s most prestigious dim sum shop.
"I'm just talking casually, Ryan..."
Such inconspicuous trivial things can best be reflected in each other's status. When Nicole got the chocolate pie with the remaining warmth, she felt uncontrollable excitement. If it weren't for the crowds of people in the crew, she would definitely pounce into Ryan's arms and whispered her inner feelings.
"As long as you are happy," Ryan still said the old saying a few years ago, simple but sincere.
People will always grow up and change. Time is sometimes the most ruthless, and sometimes the most passionate. After spending ten years together day and night, the deep and complex relationship between the two is beyond the reach of outsiders.
The crew's filming has only started for a short time, and the manor has only been rented for three months. It is undoubtedly a bit nervous for Hollywood-style shooting, and overtime has become a necessary choice. Although the budget is only 20 million US dollars, it is already sufficient for a movie like Far Cry.
The biggest expense for the crew is Nicole's pay. Now her single-piece pay has exceeded 15 million US dollars. However, the investment in the movie mainly involves Jenkins Pictures and her personal pockets, and the pay is just a nominal friendly price.
Besides, as long as the movie is as popular as Ryan’s works over the years, she will definitely get a huge reward.
Standing behind the camera, Ryan didn't say a word, but just watched Nicole's performance quietly. She was wearing old-fashioned clothes from the forties, looking extremely slender and tall. Her pale face showed a neurotic madness, which fully demonstrated the inner world of Grace, the mother.
Although it has a similar structure to "The Sixth Sense", the theme of this movie is far less profound and touching than "The Sixth Sense". Ryan had many surgeries when writing the script, making the seemingly plausible dark line clearer. In addition to the main line of family and family affection, it also highlights the reflection on how trauma war will bring to an ordinary family.
Of course, both Ryan and Nicole have a clear understanding. This movie cannot surpass "The Sixth Sense" in terms of reputation and box office.
In fact, Ryan also made some adjustments to the role. All the plots in the movie are for the heroine Grace. All the supporting roles are just her set, highlighting the woman's neurotic and maternal love side so that Nicole can achieve an explosive performance.
It is almost impossible to win the best actress with such a role, but there is always some hope to get the nomination with a public relations publicity.
If you want to stand in a position that is worthy of your name, qualifications, fame, acting skills, public relations and even the box office represented are equally important. Ryan doesn't want Nicole to be labeled as a result of being put on the water.
"Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. My dear, where do you want to see it? Edinburgh Castle or Royal Mile Avenue?"
In an old-fashioned cafe full of British style, Nicole introduced the city's scenic spots to Ryan while drinking coffee.
Although Nicole rejected Ryan's proposal to go to Spain, she still searched for half a day on the weekend to accompany him to Edinburgh for a tour.
"Sit here for a while, I'm leaving tonight and don't want to go anywhere." Ryan also took a sip of coffee.
"This is not the vitality that young people should have. Ryan, are you aging before you get old?" Nicole's face was playful, and her tone was full of teasing.
"Is that true, dear Nicole." Ryan leaned forward and muttered in her ear.
"What else would you think besides this?" Nicole glared at him fiercely.
"Don't say you haven't thought about it." Ryan was just saying these words. His face was already comparable to Arc de Triomphe. "I'm already sixteen years old, Nicole..."
If Nicole had not been a child's power and the troubles that might have caused, he would have been more proactive in certain matters. After all, he had already had considerable autonomy after the age of sixteen, and it was no longer a minor who could completely suppress him by using certain permissions.
The two of them sat in the cafe for an afternoon. It has been almost ten years since they had endless topics. Whenever they talked about interesting things, they always laughed at the same time and sighed at the same time. The tacit understanding seemed to come from the same frequency in the soul.
"Hey, Ryan, look over there, that woman sat there for an afternoon and wrote for an afternoon, she was really like you before."
Ryan followed Nicole's eyes and looked at the back. It was a blonde woman with a child. She was writing at her desk, as if she was writing something.
"Okay, Nicole, when did you become so curious?" Ryan turned around and looked at his watch. "It's almost time, it's time for us to go to the airport."
"Oh well."
While speaking, Nicole put on the sunglasses, hat and scarf one by one to Ryan, and quickly disguised herself, so she walked out of this remote partition.
The two of them were lucky enough that they didn't meet reporters until they entered the airport, or it should be said that Edinburgh was not London after all.
Of course, their luck ended here. Ryan had just changed his boarding pass and was about to say goodbye to Nicole, and three or four people holding cameras had already rushed to chase him.
"It's Nicole Kidman. Some time ago, there were rumors that she came to the UK to film. Unexpectedly, she was in Edinburgh... These people shouted without any scruples, and could hear it clearly from ten feet.
"Wow, she's so beautiful! Hey, who is the man next to her? Her boyfriend?"
"It looks familiar...it seems...it's wrong, it doesn't match the height..." The paparazzi with a quick mind immediately understood, "Guys, we are developed, that's Ryan Jenkins! Growing Ryan Jenkins!"
"Yes, that's right! Even he has grown taller and has become handsome..."
"I've got the 200,000 US dollars... God, today is our lucky day." (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
