Chapter 287 See you in the next song
Those who can come here to discuss business must be very familiar with the West. Mr. Wang is not only fluent in English, but also speaks extremely directly, without those politeness around the bush.
"Mr. Jenkins, the publisher wants to introduce your novels, the Ryan Story Collection and the Harry Potter series, and we will try our best to promote the distribution of these books."
Introduction and publishing? Ryan raised his spirit. Although he estimated that there should be pirated copies of these books in the opposite book market, he could enter the book market with great confidence...
Well... these two series seem to be fairy tales, there should be no need to click, right?
He has heard from Paramount Pictures that after "Jurassic Park" was introduced there, many scenes were clicked by a large scissor, and there was no dead shot in the movie, even if it was a PG-13 movie.
Paramount's senior executives have complained a lot, but Ryan doesn't care. This movie has not been there in the previous life, so I'll be satisfied if I can introduce it in this life.
There is also "Titanic". I remember that after it was released, many people called Leonardo Xiao Li. What would he be called? Could it be Xiao Rui?
Ryan felt chills, gave up these random thoughts, and thought about it briefly, and said, "In principle, I agree that the specific conditions can be discussed with my agent."
He gestured to Pi Jinsli.
"Then...the cooperation is pleasant." The other party stretched out his hand.
"Happy cooperation." Ryan shook hard.
It is unrealistic to expect these books to make money now. Ryan knows this well, and not to mention anything else, just the huge pirated copy will shock the publishing industry insiders.
What's more, the audience range of this kind of translated novel is not particularly wide. What kind of influence these books will bring depends on whether Sanlian Publishing House is willing to spend a lot of effort to promote it.
Just when Ryan thought they were going to say goodbye, the Mr. Ye who had been silent suddenly spoke, "Mr. Jenkins, I... also brought an invitation."
As he said that, he took out a very formal invitation letter from his handbag and placed it on the table in front of Ryan.
Frowning, Ryan looked at Jinsli, and saw the agent shook his head slightly. Obviously he didn't know about it in advance.
After receiving the invitation letter, Ryan slowly opened it, with corresponding Chinese and English instructions. After a quick glance, he roughly understood what was going on.
"That's right, our country is a coastal city. We will hold an International Clothing Festival next year and want to invite Mr. Jenkins to the opening ceremony." The other party probably noticed Jinsley's dissatisfaction and quickly explained.
"International Clothing Festival?" Ryan slowly clasped the table with his fingers, "Who else have he invited?"
"Miss Celine Dion, in principle, she has agreed and will sing "My Heart is Eternal." Mr. Ye seemed extremely sincere. "After "The Cup of Life" and "Titanic", Mr. Jenkins can be said to be the most famous Hollywood star in our place."
Ryan held up his chin with one hand and slowly rubbed the invitation with the other, as if he was seriously considering the feasibility.
Mr. Ye slowly breathed, but the other party did not refuse immediately, which could be considered good news.
The domestic news is not well-known and only thinks that the other party is a very famous entertainment star. Whether or not he comes is nothing more than a matter of price, but he is always based in Los Angeles. Naturally, he is clear about the actual situation. The other party has a great influence and the amount of wealth he holds can only be described as horror.
"So, I... think about it."
Seeing Jinslie accompanying the two of them to other places, Ryan shook his head and frankly said that he was a little moved, not for the number above, nor for some people in his previous life - just $500,000 is not in his eyes - just want to simply go over and take a look.
As early as a few years ago, in front of the bridge in Hong Kong, he completely understood the belonging of this life.
The relationship between the two sides is not very good now, and it is not the worst. After next year, we will have to wait until after 2001.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
The childish girl's voice interrupted the turmoil at the party scene, and people including Ryan couldn't help but look at the stage where the band was located at the same time.
A little girl with blonde curly hair, big bow tied on her head, wearing a fan's fluffy skirt, holding a small acoustic guitar, was standing in front of the microphone, smiling at the bottom.
The pair of big sapphire blue eyes patrol the crowd, quickly found Ryan's place, and showed a playful smile to him.
"When I was very young, uh... I knew Ryan after hearing my mother's words. He always made me cry, but... When I grew up, I bullied them all. Well, I know I was too naughty and naughty at that time, and I would cry for you at any time, and often deliberately angered you... Now, when I grew up, I know Ryan? Jenkins is actually a good person. He taught me to play guitar and sing, gave me many gifts, and helped me fulfill many wishes. But! Don't think I'll let you go in the future!"
Taylor Swift's nonsense made everyone laugh with kindness, and those who knew who she was also clapped their hands and gave encouragement.
The little girl's face turned a little more serious, grabbed the golden curly hair that was all over her head, and said extremely seriously, "Last few words, Ryan, you are the best brother! The best friend! The most profound music teacher..."
An eight-year-old girl was undoubtedly very touching to be able to say such words, but the following words made Ryan smile bitterly again, "It is also the most generous piggy bank, the stupidest sucker, and the number one fool in the United States!"
"A song for Ryan, who loves me the most and Ryan, who I love the most, "Eighteen Years Old"!"
The sound of the acoustic guitar is simple and scattered, but full of emotion. It is hard to say how wonderful the childish singing is, but it is fascinating.
"We are confused and lonely, but have freedom and happiness. Although we are young and bitter, it is as wonderful as magic. Now, you should break the many constraints, no matter what you think, let the youth of the 18-year-old bloom in full!"
The weight of the guitar made the little girl breathe a little, but she tried her best to keep the accompaniment and singing stable, as if she wanted to use the singing, thanking the person in the audience for his love for him over the years.
"This is our happiness, freedom confusion. Just today, we will forget all the sorrow and loneliness. This is our eighteen years old, our eighteen years old without restraint, our eighteen years old dancing happily, our eighteen years old singing loudly, our eighteen years old belonging to Ryan..."
"Wow, thank you, it's not easy to sing such a song!"
The girl on the stage took off her guitar, and the band next to her picked it up immediately. Taylor tilted his head and took the microphone from the stand. Even though he was only eight years old now, he was not at all nervous, but instead felt a little excited.
"Hey, you always have to say thank you to me. The male protagonist in my song, come here quickly, do you want me to sing another song?"
What is this? See you in the next song? Ryan was sadly discovering that he did not escape the fate of becoming a part of her lyrics.
Fortunately, the song was full of positive energy, not sarcasm. He walked towards the stage while sighing in his heart.
Ryan is very familiar with the tune of this song. It should be one of the songs he used to doodle and was taken away by the little girl. However, I don’t know who filled in the lyrics.
"Thank you, my dear, you sang awesomely."
Walking onto the makeshift stage, Ryan picked up the little girl and kissed her hard on the forehead, "This is the best gift you have given me."
"Hey, you still hate it." Taylor wiped his forehead hard, "Eighteen-year-old Ryan is still a child!"
"Ryan, I'm about to become an adult, so I'll have to say a few words!"
The guests attending the party, either his and Nicole's friends or close partners, were surrounded by the stage at this time, and the one who shouted loudly was James Cameron, who always wanted to make trouble for him.
"Oh well."
After all, it was my second adult life. Ryan felt a little emotional. After working hard for so many years, he is also a successful person with a successful career. "Thank you everyone for attending my last party before I was 18 years old, thank you!"
"The achievements I have achieved now are inseparable from the cooperation and help of everyone here. Nicole, Nat, Pat, Scott, Harvey, James, Stephen, Arnold..." A long list of names jumped out of his mouth. These are some of the people with the closest relationship and the deepest cooperation. "You are all my mentors and friends, and all witnesses of my growth!"
"Everyone, there are still many film and entertainment markets in this world waiting for us to explore, and our cooperation will continue."
Ryan waved to the waiter, and the other party quickly brought a glass of soda.
"For our cooperation! For our films, we can sweep the whole world!" Ryan took the lead in raising his cup and sipped it all.
The people in the audience, especially those from several major film companies, all laughed.
Perhaps Ryan doesn't understand too profound business philosophy, but he still understands the reason why everyone makes money. People who eat alone will not be welcome anywhere.
He is about to become an adult, his wings are gradually becoming fuller, and he doesn't have to be as low-key and cautious as before when doing things.
Besides, judging from the news that has been obtained either openly or secretly, the tyrant of Walt Disney seems to have no intention of giving up. Once he has integrated ABC TV station, he will definitely turn his attention to him.
Although Ryan is not afraid of him, there are some things that must be prepared before preparation, right?
As the night became deeper, more and more people began to say goodbye. The noisy manor slowly returned to peace. Even most of the paparazzi guarding the door followed their respective goals.
Just like all parties, there are always single men and women who will meet each other and don’t know which hotel to go to. These people are the best targets for paparazzi. After dawn, Hollywood will inevitably add some gossip and scandals.
1997 has passed like this, and Ryan is about to usher in the glorious 1998.
