Opening the file bag, Steven Soderbergh took out a stack of information, and the one placed on the top was a very formal invitation. He knew that the invitation came from Jenkins Pictures. A few days ago, the young man whose name resounded throughout the United States called him.

Below is a brief outline of the script and character introduction, as well as several newspaper clippings, mostly about the details of the lawsuit between Erin Brockevich and Pacific Gas and Electricity.

He has also seen this lawsuit in newspapers. In recent years, especially after the verdict this year, it has been a hot topic in major media.

Unexpectedly, Ryan Jenkins was so fast that the case ended, and he targeted the key characters inside and wanted to shoot a biographical movie.

Steven Soderbergh roughly looked through the outline and character introduction of the script, then looked at the temporarily determined list of actors, and vaguely guessed what the other party wanted. The movie must be aimed at the Oscars in 1998.

Although I admire the other person's talent and ability, to be honest, he and the small circle he is in do not like Ryan Jenkins' style. In the words of some friends, the other person is too philosophical and does not understand what art is.

Of course, if there is any element of envy and jealousy, only God knows. After all, he can invest hundreds of millions of dollars at any time, which is simply undesirable for literary and artistic movies.

"Steven, what did you think?" asked the agent and friend who was sitting opposite him.

“I need to see the full script.”

Despite this, Steven Soderbergh was already tempted by seeing the $50 million shooting budget and the position of director and producer.

Meanwhile, Jenkinsfilm's office building is sitting in Burbank. Nicole is sitting in her office, watching her assistant pick up a thick stack of materials from outside and pile them on her desk.

"Oh, God!" Nicole looked at the piles of several inches of thick materials and couldn't help but cover her forehead. She asked the female assistant, "Is there any?"

"And!" the female assistant nodded and explained, "Mr. Rodriguez has sent a lot of relevant information..."

"Take it all over." Nicole waved her hand.

Nicole knew that these information were obtained by Ryan's careful investigation, in addition to the detailed introduction of Erin Brockwich, there were also the law firm and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as well as the lawsuit that ended soon.

These all help her to understand Erin Brockevich from beginning to end and learn about the details of the entire lawsuit.

However, she did not look through the information, but instead remembered the investigation and consulting company.

The company that Ryan strongly advocated for establishing at that time has played an important role in the past few years. Garcia Rodriguez may not be a qualified operator, but a good investigative and analysis player. He provided them with extremely detailed information in the acquisition cases and other incidents several times.

Moreover, with the help of Wilson Law Firm, he can always find loopholes in the law and will not easily touch the boundaries.

Ryan!

Nicole's mind immediately changed to that handsome and resolute face. This year was the happiest and happiest time in her life. Whenever she recalled the sweetest moments with Ryan, she always felt that she had lived in vain before. He always silently protected her, always solved any trouble for her quietly, and always gave her the greatest joy...

Even some of the ideas I had before will always melt in the lingering relationship between the two of them day and night.

The doting she once gave him was used by him from this year, and he even tried his best to realize his unreasonable requests.

This is an indescribable but extremely wonderful feeling that makes people intoxicated without realizing it. Nicole wants to maintain this feeling until the moment when it will only belong to itself forever.

Shaking his head. Nicole dispelled these random thoughts and focused on the information in front of him. If you want to create brilliance, how could you succeed without working hard?

In the apartment dormitory of the University of Southern California, Ryan was helping several classmates pack their luggage. The New Year holiday was about to begin. Darren and the four of them were not ready to go home. They would go to David Finch's crew to report in the afternoon to do some basic work and increase practical experience.

"Ryan, are you sure you won't be with us?" David asked.

"Come on, David." Reese dragged his luggage toward the door. "If Ryan went to a crew to work as a handyman, the entertainment media in North America would have to go crazy."

"You guys..."

Ryan waved and sent them out of the apartment building.

Everyone has their own ideals, but many people fall on the road to their ideals. Being able to engage in careers they like and are interested in is undoubtedly a kind of happiness.

For example, Ryan himself, he likes the profession of actors or illustrators very much, but he is not interested in directors. For him, if he wants to control the crew and gain more power, producers are better choices.

Hollywood implements a producer system. How many big directors can really compete with producers?

Unlike him, Darren's goal is to become a director, and he has no interest in art films, science fiction films, etc., and only loves horror films with tomato sauce.

Reese is interested in camera and wants to become a top photographer like Russell Carpenter.

David has considerable talent in editing, and Chen dreams of filming his own movie after returning to China after studying.

Thinking of ideals, Ryan couldn't help but think of Steven Soderbergh. The bald director was barely an idealist. At the age of 26, he won the Palme d'Or for "Sex, Lies, Video Tape". After becoming the youngest winner of the Cannes Film Festival, he once refused multiple invitations to commercial movies and still exploring and moving forward in art films.

"Irene Brockevich" is not an art film, and even a biographical film is a bit reluctant. This film completely portrays her into the image that a civilian hero should have in the minds of the American public.

So, to be more precise, this should be an inspirational commercial film.

Even if Steven Soderberg refused to take charge of the guide, it didn't matter. Ryan had already prepared a backup candidate, and Long Howard and Ridley Scott were also one of the choices.

By the way, the outline and setting of "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" has been handed over to the editorial team to supplement. After the New Year, we have to contact Michael Bay and Jerry Brookheimer. The latter is not a problem, and the former will probably be a little troublesome.

There is also Charlize Theron, South African Diamond, who has called several times recently and invited him to have dinner together as the thanks for the heroine of "Jurassic Park".

Ryan had a headache. It would be a fake to say that he was not moved by such a beautiful woman...

The ringtone of the phone interrupted Ryan's thoughts, but it was Natalie, who was far away in New York.

"Hi Nat."

"Tell you good news, Ryan." Natalie over there was obviously happy. "I got the role of Anne Frank."

"Oh, congratulations, Nat." Ryan sighed, and Natalie chose the stage plays of Broadway and Anne's Diary. "Have the rehearsal and performance time determined?"

"The rehearsal will start after the New Year, and there will be an official performance in June."

"Okay, I'll wait to see your debut."

"Come on, Ryan, I won't believe you casually."

Hearing Natalie's whining sound on the phone, Ryan could only shruggle and change the topic, "I'll rehearse after the New Year, so are you still here to audition?"

"Of course, the audition will not conflict at the end of February." Natalie did not hesitate at all, "This is a prequel to "Star Wars"!"

She was indeed smart enough to know how to choose! Ryan sighed.

Although Natalie has three movies released this year, she is all inconspicuous small characters and has not caused much response. Obviously, she understands that a movie character with enough weight is a must-have choice.

"Nate, you must get the role of Padme Amidala, and there will be surprises waiting for you in the future." Ryan and George Lucas' agreement was limited to the two of them.

"Surprise?" Natalie said in a strong nasal voice, "Do you know, Ryan, when you grow up, all you bring to me is surprise and not joy!"

Ryan's lips trembled and simply gave the answer, "I have reached an agreement with George to play the role of Anakin as an adult? Skywalker!"

"Anakin, Skywalker, as an adult?" Natalie paused for a long time before saying, "Is it... Padme, Amidala's lover?"

Ryan, the script for the first draft of the prequel trilogy, had already asked for it from Lucas and mailed it to Natalie, which was the potential advantage.

"Yes, dear Nat, is this a surprise?" Ryan deliberately changed his tone.

"Come on, Ryan." Natalie's voice seemed to be humming with her nose, "It has nothing to do with me taking the audition."

"Oh, God, Nat, you broke my heart again." Ryan laughed and laughed.

"You have hurt my heart countless times, Ryan!" Natalie's teeth must have bitten.

"Okay, I'll give you a few bites when I go to New York, right?"

"You are coming to New York? When?"

"After the New Year."

"You won't put pigeons again, Ryan?"

"I'm going to Marvel and Blue Sky Studios, don't forget, Nat, I'm the boss of those two companies."

"It's true. Every time I come here, I'm going to see my best friend, right?"

"So I asked you to apply for a middle school in Los Angeles."

“I like Long Island High School very much.”
