Some people can easily become Hollywood darlings without having to work too hard or even have their own works, such as Paris Hilton.

When Flower Pictures announced that the little princess of the Hilton family would participate in the filming of the film "Pierre Angel" adapted from "Charlie's Angel", the film, which had just been launched and herself, immediately became the focus of attention in the entire entertainment industry.

Some people, as long as they have the right works and roles, will soar into the ranks of Hollywood's first-tier superstars. Leonardo DiCaprio is such a person.

Because of losing "Titanic", Li Xiao is at best a second-tier star. Strictly speaking, it can be classified as a literary youth. However, after "Mission Impossible" was released a week before Thanksgiving, no one can stop him from becoming a big hit.

Although Ryan did not attend the premiere because he came to Australia, he still heard a lot of related situations on the phone. Xiao Li entered the ranks of superstars through this movie, which can also prove a common law in Hollywood - it is always the role that makes the actors, not the actors who make the roles.

A small convoy left Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, and galloped south along the spacious and bland airport avenue, targeting a farm estate more than forty miles away.

In one of the Chevrolet off-road vehicles, Ryan is looking through the documents from Los Angeles' new fax to the plane, which includes both the latest North American weekly box office rankings and some professional media comments.

Nicole's eyes next to her would fall on the not-so-thick documents from time to time, and she muttered dissatisfiedly, "Dear, we are here for vacation, not for work."

"It's over soon." Ryan leaned over and kissed her gently on the forehead. He said with a smile, "Good news, Nicole, the first week of Mission: Impossible has exceeded 45 million dollars, and we'll make another big profit."

"Your new friend's movie?" Nicole snatched the documents without hesitation and started looking through them. "It seems that Mr. DiCaprio should thank you very much. Let me think about how he would thank you? A carnival party? Or invite you to enjoy the performance of the underwear model?"

"Come on, Nicole." Ryan shook his head. "I'm not Leon, I'm not interested in a blonde-haired and long-legged model."

"The script is too complicated, the actors' acting skills are mediocre, and the biggest failure of the movie is Leonardo alone." Nicole looked at the movie reviews faxed and shrugged playfully, "Your friend doesn't seem to be very popular with critics."

As Nicole said, although Leonardo's performance in the movie has been recognized by a large number of movie fans, it has been criticized by critics. However, Xiao Li now enjoys the taste of being a big hit. I hope that in the future, I will not turn myself into a fat uncle again in order to win the award.

The manor Ryan bought for Nicole is located not far from the Gold Coast. Although it was a bit deserted when transferred to him, it has a long history.

The 6,200-acre estate consists of two parts: an English-style complex and a farm. It includes a special river trough that transports water, a double river bank about ten miles long, and a small natural lake.

Stables and racecourses that can be seen everywhere in Australia are standard. A large vineyard and wine cellar is essential. Because Nicole doesn't like it very much, the cattle and sheep have long been moved away by the original owner. After half a year of careful care by the hired professional organization, the farm has become mainly grass feed for growing lavender and horse racing.

According to the managers who were stationed here at that professional agency, if properly operated, the farm would earn $2 million per year, or more.

Whether it is Ryan or Nicole, they don’t care about this income. This farm can only maintain its own expenses. For them, this place is just a place to visit.

"Wow, it's a great place to relax."

Nicole also invited her friend, and the person who just jumped out of the car to talk was Judy Foster.

"Anne, Judy, Kate, here."

Nicole took Taylor and others here once, calling her sister and bestie to walk towards the main building built by granite. She hadn't forgotten to turn around and remind her, "Ryan, I'll hand you my luggage."

After making a reassuring gesture to Nicole, Ryan greeted the bodyguards and the farm staff and carried huge suitcases into the main building, almost all of which were the luggage of several ladies.

When a woman travels, she looks like moving, especially a wealthy woman.

Ryan sighed a little and entered the large living room of the main building. Nicole took the other three to choose the room and walked downstairs.

"Dear, your room is on the third floor."

"Ryan, don't run to the second floor at night."

Antonia Kidman blinked at him, then closed his mouth obediently under Nicole's eyes. Fortunately, Judy Foster and Cate Blanchett were checking the ancient decoration of the living room dome and didn't notice it at all.

"Ryan, you're such a big deal." Judy Foster stood in front of the large window in the living room and looked into the distance, only to see a purple sea of ​​lavender. "How much does this estate cost? Tens of millions of dollars?"

"Not much money." Ryan smiled casually. As long as Nicole was happy, what was the money counting. He found his luggage and walked upstairs, "You guys sit down, I'll go back to the room to change my clothes."

The main building complex here adopts a typical English palace style, with granite and sandstone floors in all rooms. Walking on a spacious stone staircase, you can view a 50,000 square feet of magnificent garden with a giant fountain through the windows between the corridors.

The houses on the second floor have both a traditional British style and an indelible Australian style. That is, they are spacious. In this vast and sparsely populated country, the per capita housing area is definitely not comparable to the crowded Los Angeles.

Entering his room, although this is not the master suite, the area exceeds his exclusive room in Jenkins Manor. He sighed with a little emotion about the difference between Australia and America. Ryan took a simple shower, changed into a home clothes, and then returned to the lobby on the first floor.

"This is the new movie you're going to take, Judy?"

Several women were drinking coffee and sitting around the sofa, discussing a script.

"This was handed over to me by the agent before coming to Australia, and I'm not sure whether to accept it." It seems that this script belongs to Judy Foster, "a story between a tutor and a king, the Eastern version of Jane Eyre."

"Anna and the King of Siam?" asked Cate Blanchett.

"That's right." Judy Fous nodded, "It's based on the movie that has been in the past 46 years."

"This kind of subject that is far from the Western background..." Nicole Kidman smiled embarrassedly, and continued after Judy Foster made a gesture that he didn't mind, "The risk of failure of such subjects is extremely high."

"My dear sister, are you thinking about it from the perspective of a producer?" Antonia Kidman was obviously joking about her sister.

"Okay, what's the story about this script? Don't you know if you ask Ryan?" Cate Blanchett looked up at the stairs. Ryan was standing here listening to their discussion.

"Ryan, can it?" Judy Foster raised the script in his hand to him.

"It's my honor." Ryan joked and walked over, "as long as you don't mind."

"There are no outsiders here." Judy Foster handed over the script.

After taking the script, Ryan sat on the single sofa, and while quickly flipping through it, comparing it with the scene in his memory, he quickly confirmed that this was the movie that completely turned Judy Foster into a box office poison.

It would be fine if the box office failed, but the reputation was extremely bad.

"Judy, what do you mean?" Ryan slowly closed the script and asked Judy Foster.

"I haven't figured it out yet. The characters in it are very good, but the plot and theme..." She shook her head slowly.

In fact, she did not mention the other side, the pay offered by 20th Century Fox is very touching.

"We put the logic of the plot aside and talk about the subject matter."

After all, the other party is one of Nicole's best friends, and Ryan doesn't want to watch her go down the old path of her previous life. "In fact, Nicole's view is very correct. Such subjects from the East, unless their perspective and perspective are very consistent with our mainstream, they will definitely not be popular in the West, and I can't see these in this script."

After shaking the script, Ryan gave Judy Foster and continued, "When talking about the East, I believe everyone knows that Siam is Thailand now, and Thai cultural and political figures have little influence in the Far East. In this way, it is difficult to attract media and audiences from the Far East. In Thailand, Chulalongkorn is considered a great king. These obviously fictional plots in the movie, and Thais will definitely not accept them. I dare say that this movie will definitely be boycotted by Thailand."

Unless the script of this movie is overhauled and turned into an oriental western film like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there is only one way to fail. In his previous life, in addition to leaving behind a classic soundtrack and interlude, it suffered violent criticism in the East and the West at the same time.

"So, Judy, my suggestion is better to give it up." There has been years of friendship between the two parties, otherwise Ryan would not have said such direct words.
