Chapter 218 Curse
"Wow, Fortune cover character, Ryan, you're really surprised."
Natalie was sitting in the Land Rover co-pilot, staring at Ryan who was driving with a strange look.
"Come on, Nat, do you have to use this tone?" Ryan glanced at her and quickly turned his head back.
Unlike the last time she met, Natalie has completely grown up in appearance and has a faint charm of her. The idols in her previous life and the friends in this life have almost become the same person.
"Why not?" Natalie finally turned her eyes back.
After all, I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and neither of them has the intention to argue. Natalie came to Los Angeles yesterday. In addition to attending an event notice, she also signed a new agent contract with Pai Jinslie.
"Nate, you don't have to be afraid of him. As long as we unite, we will definitely defeat this bad guy Ryan!" A childish girl voice came from the back seat, "Right, Christine?"
"Me? It's not my business." The short-haired girl stayed out of the matter very smartly.
"Hmph!" Then Taylor's nasal sound rang, "Kristen, you are so disappointing!"
Ryan and Natalie smiled at each other. With the little guy behind, it was impossible to be quiet. Since getting in the car, she has interrupted from time to time to show her existence, for fear that the two people in front would ignore her.
After looking at the rearview mirror, the two little guys were honestly tied up their seat belts. Ryan was relieved and stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed a little.
"Aren't you going to pick Scar up?" Natalie was a little confused.
"Well, they just moved." Ryan drove onto the road to Laurel Valley in North Hollywood, "How long has it been since you met her, Nat?"
"Since she moved to Los Angeles, we have only written letters by phone." Natalie closed the car window and then closed her curly hair that was blown away by the wind. "Sga is grown up."
"You have grown up, Nat!" Ryan sighed meaningfully.
The car soon stopped in front of a detached villa near Laurel Valley. Ryan pressed the horn a few times. Scarlett Johnson, wearing a green dress and half-blond hair, ran out of his home.
"Hey, Ska, here!" Natalie opened the car door and jumped down.
"Nate, I haven't seen each other for a long time." As he spoke, two girls, one big and one small, hugged each other tightly.
Looking at the two girls who were hugging each other and kissing each other, Ryan couldn't help scratching his head. The relationship between these two people was far beyond his imagination. Even in his previous life, these two people were barely considered friends. But they were not so close.
"Miss, it's getting late."
Seeing that they did not stop, Ryan had to shout.
"Hi, Ryan." Scarlett walked to the car and greeted several people one after another. Everyone in the car knew each other, "and Taylor and Christine."
"Hello Scarlett." Christine waved to her friendly.
"Hmph~" The little head with blonde curly hair leaned to the side.
"Hey, Taylor, where is your politeness?" Ryan turned around and the little girl frowned, "I don't want to pay attention to her."
"Get into the car first." Natalie opened the door and climbed into the co-pilot first.
"Why can't you sit in the back, Nat?" Taylor said.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Scarlett had already sat in the back seat. It was probably because of the age difference, so she just curled her lips and said nothing.
"They... won't fight?"
Ryan glanced at the rearview mirror and came to Natalie's ear. The girl from Long Island gave him a pair of eyeballs, "Do you think everyone is as bored as you?"
"Then you pay more attention to the back."
After giving instructing, Ryan started the car. The car quickly drove into the intercontinental highway leading to Richmond.
"Where are you going to take us?" Natalie looked back at the back of the car and saw that George's car was falling not far away. She felt a little relieved. Obviously, she felt that the bodyguard was more reliable than the guy around her.
"It must be Pixar?" Scarlett leaned in the front seat and said guessing.
"Bingo!" Ryan snapped his fingers, "Don't you want to see where Toy Story was born?"
"Of course I want to." The youngest two children shouted in unison.
"You should have other purposes, right?" Natalie, the one who knows Ryan the most.
"Dear, I'm just taking you to visit Pixar..." Before Ryan finished speaking, Natalie laughed, "By the way, do some favor, right, Ryan?"
"But what can we do?" the two little girls asked.
"Oh, I heard from my mom that Pixar has just built a new restaurant and playground, and the pastries there are said to be very delicious." Ryan could see the green light in Christine's eyes from the rearview mirror.
"Come on, Christine, if you eat it, you will become a fat girl like Scarlett." Taylor showed a sincere expression, but he didn't know that this had offended another girl.
Any girl who loves beauty will never like others to call herself a fat girl. Scarlett is no exception and immediately retorted, "Miss Taylor Swift, where do you see that I am fat? Even if I am a little fat, I am more beautiful than a girl who doesn't even have front teeth!"
“My teeth will grow very quickly.”
"That's also a pair of rabbit teeth!"
"You are, you will definitely grow short and fat in the future!"
"You will become a six-foot-tall pole in the future, or an airport!"
"Can you be quiet for a while?" Natalie had no choice but to turn around and persuade the fight.
Unfortunately, the two girls were obviously angry and chattered like two cocks fighting. Fortunately, they were a little sensible and had no posture to take action.
"Taylor, Scarlett, please stop arguing?" Christine persuaded weakly.
"Shut up, Christine, or you will become a tomboy in the future!"
Is this a curse? Ryan couldn't help it after hearing these seemingly outrageous but actually a little reliable.
"Shut up! Taylor, apologize to Scarlett, don't say anything more!"
"I...I don't want it!"
"Alison. I think you should be in a car with George." Ryan took out his attitude when he taught her music.
"I...well, sorry, Scarlett Johnson."
Sighing slightly, Ryan was quite helpless. Since coming to Los Angeles, this little guy has grown up with a huge favor, far richer family than his previous life. He regards her as Nicole Kidman, who is doting on his own sister, and other big names who favor her for his and Nicole for the sake of his face.
Is this princess disease?
Fortunately, as I grow older, I can calm her down by posing my face. I just don’t know what will happen when I grow up.
"Wow, is this Pixar?"
The car had just stopped, and a few little guys looked at the distance not far away, which was the office area where Pixar had just been renovated.
After the listing financing, Pixar had sufficient development funds, not only purchased new equipment, but also bought several nearby buildings, renovating the office area to a more free and lively manner. In addition, a restaurant full of childlike fun and imagination was added.
"So beautiful, is this the desk lamp? Ryan, can I install one for me at home?"
Everyone stood in front of the office area, facing Pixar's iconic desk lamp, and Taylor obviously took it.
"Okay. My dear, each of you can bring a smaller one home when you leave."
Ryan didn't bring them here to rob. He chose children of different ages to watch the latest cartoon clips. It was the suggestion of several senior Pixar executives.
In the brand new screening room, people including Ryan sat quietly in their chairs, staring at the scenes played on the screen with all their attention. Even without the soundtrack, even the dubbing of more than a dozen insect characters was temporarily added. But these vivid bugs attracted the attention of all the little guys from the moment they appeared on the screen.
"This is an ant..." Christine, the youngest, couldn't help but shout.
"Shh!"
Under Ryan's raised finger, she quickly calmed down, staring at the ant fighting the grasshopper without blinking.
That’s right! Pixar management invited Ryan and others to watch the trial production of "The Insect Agents".
After the great success of Toy Story, many people suggested that the production of the sequel should be started immediately, but John Lasset had other ideas. He found someone to adapt the current script from "Ants and Grasshopper" in "Aesop's Prophecy" and led the team to produce a short clip.
The clip was soon put to an end, and the moment the screen disappeared, a few little guys - and some Pixar employees' children - started yelling.
"Why is there no more?"
"I'm going to keep watching?"
"Those bugs seem to be ants and grasshoppers, it's so interesting..."
"Kids, this is just a trial clip. If you want to see the movie, you have to wait for a few years." Ed Kamr stood up, "Do you think it's good?"
"It looks good!"
“Well…just as fun as Toy Story.”
"Uncle Ed, when will I see the full movie?"
Although the sound was a bit messy, more than a dozen children were satisfied, and a few of them were clamoring to play it again.
"Ryan, what about your opinions?" Ed Camel and John Lassett comforted the children and came to the three oldest people. After all, Pixar did not produce young animations, but movies of all ages.
"It's very interesting." Natalie's opinion on animated movies can be completely ignored.
"It's not as friendly as Toy Story, but these bugs are cute and not as creepy as in life." Scarlett Johnson nodded.
"What about you, Ryan?"
"Ed, and John, I want to ask you your specific plans for the next time." Ryan did not answer, but asked a question instead.
"We plan to create "Beasts Team" first, and then start "Toy Story 2" after the tedious work of character setting is over." The person who spoke was Ed Kamr, who served as CEO.
"Where is the funds?" Ryan asked again.
“Our budget is enough to support the completion of both plans.”
Chapter completed!
