Compared to the talk show Ryan has watched, Kate is quite polite. Some sensitive issues are just a simple matter and never dig them out endlessly. This is related to Pi Jinslie's prior public relations and his age.

Besides, although he was the final winner in the conflict with Tom Cruise, the media and the public still put him as the weak, and adults have some sympathy for their children.

"Strictly speaking, "The Sixth Sense" was your first time in acting, but you showed amazing acting skills. How did you do it?" Kate asked.

"It has something to do with my experience. After all, apart from the thriller part of the movie, a lot of it comes from my life..." Ryan pulled up the tiger skin again. Anyway, he wouldn't spend money on lying.

“Have you been abused in a welfare home?”

"Not before the age of six." Ryan shook his head first, then frowned, "The Welfare House is indeed a place with very indifferent feelings. Let's put it this way, except for the old Dean Katie, I am not familiar with others. As for what happened after Dean Katie retires, I don't want to mention it again."

"Okay." Kate changed the subject, "What about between him and Miss Nicole Kidman?"

"Nicole is my only relative and the most important person to me." Ryan replied without thinking, "Can you imagine that I escaped from the welfare home, penniless, at a loss, seeking help everywhere, but was rejected by someone as a homeless man. In that case, I met Nicole on the Avenue of Stars. She had almost no hesitation and helped me with all her heart and strength. In order to obtain my custody, she exhausted all her savings and even sold her house and car, and owed a large debt."

Although many media have reported on the incident between him and Nicole, they did not dig out this secret that only a few people knew. At this time, the audience exclaimed, it was impossible for them to do all this for a person they had never known each other.

"I know that some people never mind looking at others in the worst way. In their opinion, Nicole won my custody because she could get huge gains. However, Nicole didn't know about my writing at that time, and, in the past few years, even in the most difficult times, Nicole hadn't used me a dollar. Instead, she was actually responsible for all my expenses."

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience. Is there anything more reliable than what he said from the person involved?

"Ryan, I don't know if you have noticed it. Many couples have issued statements in newspapers saying you are their lost child."

"I said that I only have one relative in this world, that is Nicole Kidman!" Ryan looked solemn.

Perhaps the director of the show informed Kate about something. She touched the earbuds and quickly changed the topic, "The results you achieved last year are so dazzling. Many people are saying that you are God's darling. What do you think?"

"Definitely not." Ryan pretended to be helpless, "I am really very sensitive to art and have some talent in this regard, but God is fair to everyone. He gives you a pearl and will take away a diamond. I actually have a very bad aspect, but others don't know."

"Can you tell me?" Kate's eyes shone.

"It's hard for me to concentrate, I can get distracted at any time." Ryan spread his hands, "Also, I found that I couldn't go to the kitchen. The only time I made coffee, I almost ordered the entire apartment building. For this reason, the neighbors came to protest."

The audience laughed. In their opinion, such a boy is a normal person, with a prominent side and a bad side.

“Is there any more?”

"Well..." Ryan thought about it for a while, and finally said, "Okay, this is my biggest secret."

"Wow~" A burst of praise came from the audience, followed by a cheering sound.

"I can't touch alcohol. I'm seriously allergic to alcohol. Don't worry, I've never stolen alcohol. It was discovered by the family doctor when he was disinfecting me with alcohol. He once warned Nicole and me that if you don't want to endanger your life, you should stay away from alcohol in the future."

Kate on the opposite side and the audience outside the venue all opened their mouths wide. Although the law stipulates drinking, everyone understands what the situation is. What a miserable life that cannot be drunk is!

"This... is incredible." Kate was stunned for a moment before saying.

Ryan shrugged playfully, but didn't say anything more.

"Okay, here is a new section of our program, and the guest income is revealed!" Kate pointed to the big screen above the stage, which listed a string of data.

She looked at Ryan, "Don't you mind taking stock of your family, do you?"

"It's okay." Ryan curled his lips. No one had communicated with him in advance. Obviously, the producer wanted to give him a surprise, or a small embarrassment.

This is normal. In order to prevent accidents and unpleasantness, this kind of program usually communicates with guests before it starts, but most of them will still be a good deal. Of course, it will not be too much.

Kate looked at the big screen and started reading, "The script of "The Sixth Sense" was $50,000, and the film was $150,000, and it was divided into $2.9 million, totaling $3.1 million. Is this a correct number, Ryan?"

"That's right." Ryan could only nod. After all, this was the public expenditure of the crew. Those who are interested could tell by just checking it. However, they obviously did not count the red envelopes.

"The script of "Home Imperial" plus a pay of $3 million, a share of $5.7 million, totaling $8.7 million. The pay of "Terminator 2" is $5 million, a share of $5 million."

“Wow~”

A scream began to be heard off the court.

"Your income in movies last year was...well, I'll calculate it, $16.8 million! Oh, God! An eleven-year-old millionaire sitting opposite me!" Kate made a very exaggerated expression.

"It's not that much, actually." Ryan waved his hand, "Don't forget, you have to pay taxes!"

The Taxation Bureau is the most powerful agency in the United States. The CIA and the FBI are weak in front of it. If they catch the handle of tax evasion, they will be waiting for an extremely miserable life. You must know that the Taxation Bureau has an independent court and no jury!

"Don't forget, you still have royalty sharing in books. The Alien Publishing House refused to reveal specific numbers to us. Can you tell me, Ryan?"

"Sorry, I rarely care about these things. I have to ask my accountant." Ryan rudely shirked.

It was only the early 1990s, and his income in film alone was amazing. If other aspects were included, it would attract countless people to be jealous, and he did not want to be the target of the kidnappers.

"Okay!" Kate blinked, "Can you always reveal what new works are being created recently?"

"One action script, and another one." Ryan made a gesture you understand.

"Then we are waiting for your good news!" Kate continued, "The following is the time for the audience to ask questions. We will choose two audience members on site and one audience member who calls the hotline."

Below the stage, the audience had been waiting for a long time and raised their hands in unison.

"The lady from the second to the left in the third row!" Kate casually pointed one.

This is a girl about fifteen years old and looks very playful, "Ryan, do you have any plans to find a girlfriend? Can you tell me what the standard is?"

"Not yet! As for the standards, I haven't considered it yet." Ryan's face was a little unnatural.

"The gentleman is fifth on the left in the seventh row!"

This time, a middle-aged man stood up. He said, "Ryan, I have two children, both of your book and movie fans. They can't come to the scene because of their age. Can they sign their autographs?"

"No problem." Fans all have to run the business. After living for two lives, Ryan knew very well, "Can you keep it after the show is over?"

"Thanks!"

"The next question is to leave it to the audience outside the venue, please ask the staff to answer the phone!" Kate said.

Soon, a phone call came in and it sounded like a man of a big age, "Ryan Jenkins, your work is rubbish, and there is nothing to be praised except for coaxing children."

Everyone at the scene was stunned, including Kate, obviously not expecting such an accident to happen.

"Please don't read my works in the future, okay?" Ryan said slowly. "I don't think the federal government will force it to read or watch any of Ryan Jenkins' works, right?"

"Okay, thank you Ryan, thank you to the audience on site and in front of the TV. Today's face-to-face show ends here, see you next week!"

This was just the last small episode of the show. Ryan easily dealt with it. After meeting the father's autograph request, he left the studio.

After the "Face-to-face" column, the big newspapers and tabloids began to interpret what Ryan said, which to some extent satisfies the public's gossip, and the popularity of the topic about him gradually decreased, especially the reporters around the door of the villa, who disappeared. Of course, occasionally there are unwilling paparazzi staying outside, trying to find exclusive news.

As for Ryan, he returned to school, but his classmates' eyes all changed. Even Jerry and Peter rarely interacted with him again. This situation is normal. Just like Natalie encountered at school, children who are too smart and precocious are difficult to be welcomed among their peers.

Ryan didn't care, and he was still repeating his life. Besides, he didn't have so much time to get along with and deal with these little kids. For him, these were just passers-by.

But he wouldn't have thought that "Face to Face" exposure of his income would cause him a lot of trouble.
