Chapter two hundred and eighty-eight is not the end
"Continue talking to them, tell the bosses of those theaters, and tell them that no matter what, they must delay the schedule of Titanic by the Oscars."
Ryan was walking around the small table under the palm tree, constantly shouting at the phone, "I have communicated with the partners. We can make concessions on the theater division, eight to two or even nine to one, we have made enough money. I only need the box office record now..."
God! Is this my boyfriend? Why did he think he was so capable before, but now he thinks he is very vulgar? Has the relationship between them changed and the senses changed?
Natalie leaned against the back of the chair, her eyes removed from the notebook's document, and her little hand gently patted her forehead.
"Sorry, Nat, I agreed to have tea with you..."
Before he finished speaking, Ryan's hanging-up mobile phone rang again. He looked at the number on it and could only answer it helplessly.
"Hi, Pat."
"Ryan, the publisher's matter has been negotiated."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Ryan was about to hang up the phone, but Jinsli's voice came from there, "Wait Ryan, there are several programs to invite you."
"Turn them all."
"Oh well."
After all, he is not an ordinary star, and no one can force a wealthy man with a net worth of 2 billion to participate in a variety show.
“Our afternoon tea is already cold.”
When he sat down, Natalie said helplessly, "It is definitely a mistake for me to promise you a date today."
"There's no way, Nat." Ryan looked at the black tea in the pot and waved to the maid in the distance. "Nicole has gone to Australia, and many things need me to make a decision now."
After the New Year, Nicole went to Australia with the crew of "The Matrix", and the remaining training and the filming of the entire movie will be completed there. Many of the chores she handled in the past naturally fell on Ryan.
In fact, it is not just "The Matrix", but "American Pie", which is under preparation, will not be filmed in California.
Just like traditional manufacturing, the North American film industry has moved overseas on a large scale, especially in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other regions. It has become a popular outdoor location for producers to shoot videos.
Compared with California, these places have huge cost advantages in taxation, labor costs, food, clothing, housing and transportation. The shift of the studio overseas is like co-producing. It has become an inevitable trend in the development of Hollywood. Even if the state government adjusts the relevant taxes for this reason, it still cannot improve.
The maid brought back the black tea. After Ryan put it in for Natalie, he pointed to the notebook and asked, "Have you read the script? How do you feel?"
"The Rest of the Desert Island"? This...it seems like you have written the most in-depth script." Natalie added a few pieces of candy to the cup. She held the teacup in her hands and stroked it back and forth, "Reflection on life? The perception of life? Ryan, are you sure you can play this role well?"
"Why can't it?"
After drinking the black tea in the cup, Ryan asked extremely seriously, "I wrote the story, why can't I act it?"
"Age, experience." Natalie put down the teacup and tapped the table gently, "Don't forget, you are only eighteen years old!"
"Come on, Nat." Ryan leaned against the chair, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "These can be made up for other ways. Since I can write this story, I will definitely be able to act well. Besides, have you not had so many experiences when you starred in Anne Frank? It's not a big hit."
"You always make sense."
As she grew older, Natalie's sharpness in her youth decreased a lot, and she became less and less quarrels with Ryan, and she also learned to give in to some things.
Close the notebook, Natalie packed her bag and stood up, "It's getting late, please send me back to the hotel."
"Do you have to go back?" Ryan tilted his head, looked at Natalie's clearly silhouetted face and said softly, "Nate, there are many rooms here, you can stay here at night."
"What's your purpose?" Natalie looked over alertly. She saw Ryan's extremely sincere expression. Her eyes flashed, and she seemed to be moved. Finally, she said, "When I left the hotel, a paparazzi followed me. If I didn't go out all night, it would definitely spread throughout the United States tomorrow."
After seeing off Natalie, Ryan found out tragically that she became a lonely man again. Nicole went to Australia. The scenes of Natalie's studio were completed and she was about to return to New York...
Of course, this does not mean that he is doing nothing. There is a lot of work to deal with, and the Oscar nomination will be announced!
In just two days, the movie finally reached a new agreement with the theater company and would not go offline in the short term, but the share ratio for the theater company reached 90%.
As if stimulated by this good news, the box office in North America actually rebounded slightly. After a new week, the box office in North America finally exceeded the $700 million mark, and the global box office exceeded $1.9 billion!
“There is no end to Titanic!”
"It took more than half a year, and this big ship is still shaking the wind and waves all over the world. Every cent it earns means the birth of a new record. Now the global box office exceeds $1.9 billion, and the 2 billion mark is within reach. Where will its record stop in the end? Who will be the next time that it breaks it?"
"This movie has created unprecedented success in business and is the pinnacle of Hollywood movies. The thinking of human nature, love, and society has surpassed the boundaries of culture and belief, and has aroused strong responses around the world."
"It has created a world-class phenomenon, completely beyond the scope of films, and shines brightly all over the world!"
"It has created a new situation for Hollywood movies, and many closed markets in the past have completely opened their arms because of this movie!"
"It even triggered an unprecedented movie viewing frenzy on the other side of the blockage, which is definitely a major victory for American culture!"
"This is a masterpiece that spans the century. It is not an exaggeration to praise it with any honor and praise. I believe that after the Oscars end, we will cheer for this movie again..."
Vanity Fair and the Los Angeles Times once again published commentary reports on the movies in large quantities, hoping to create a greater momentum at this moment when the Oscar nominations are about to be announced.
In addition, Harvey Weinstein spent a lot of resources on Nicole's best actress. Although he had not guaranteed anything to Ryan, the huge investment trilogy was about to start filming. If even the nomination was lost, he would not have the face to continue to hang out in Hollywood.
As for Ryan himself, he was not sure at all. After all, Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio's experience in his previous life impressed him too deeply.
Despite a lot of things recently, Ryan still took time to come to Los Angeles International Airport to bid farewell to Natalie and her group who were temporarily back to New York for vacation. In "Star Wars Prequel 1", her remaining scenes are basically in Morocco.
"Ryan, remember to go to Morocco to see me when I got it. Don't let my pigeons go, otherwise you will be nice."
In the empty VIP room, Natalie stared at her big eyes, her eyes tightly wrapped around the guy opposite, and finally her small fist lit up.
"Morocco, I remember! Dear Nat, you've said it several times." Ryan grabbed the fist that was waving in the air and kissed it gently.
"I'm leaving..."
Natalie pulled her arm back and turned toward the door.
"Nate!"
Ryan chased after him, grabbed the girl's arm, and with a slight pull, Natalie threw herself into his arms, her slender arms, like a koala, hugged his waist.
Holding up the girl's slightly raised face, Ryan kissed her hard. He used a lot of force, as if he wanted to swallow Natalie into her stomach. As the girl's nasal sound sounded, his hands quickly slid down the corners of her face, and finally hugged Natalie's waist.
Although his movements were awkward and his skills were not very skilled, Natalie responded to Ryan with her few skills, hoping that he would know his enthusiasm for him...
After a long and lingering deep kiss, just like when they were young, their foreheads were pressed against their foreheads and their eyes were facing their eyes. Even if the other person's appearance had long been deeply imprinted in their minds, it was not enough.
"I love you, Ryan..."
The whisper of the Long Island girl was exchanged for Ryan's tenderness. He lowered his head and found the two slightly swollen lips, sucking them gently, completely different from the wildness just now. At this moment, he seemed so cautious, as if his Natalie was a fragile porcelain doll.
"Nate, I really don't want you to leave."
At this moment, there was only one person left in his head.
"Ryan, when I stand at a sufficient height, we will make it public, okay?" Natalie buried her whole head in that thick chest.
"Uh..." Ryan quickly raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Oh no, Nat, time!"
"Ah..." Natalie then woke up, wiped her lips a few times, opened the door and walked out, "Ryan Jenkins, if the plane is delayed, I will definitely settle the score with you! I will definitely!"
Seeing the huge Boeing passenger plane climbing into the sky, Ryan suddenly remembered that the official plane he ordered was not in place yet.
By the way, should you return the order and then directly order the Boeing 747, the world's largest passenger plane?
Shaking his head, Ryan walked out of the airport. The business jet was enough for him, and there was no need to use this method to demonstrate his identity and status.
When she placed the order, Pai Jinsley ordered three at one time. In addition to Ryan and Nicole, she and Scott also bought one together.
