The rolling waves gently licked against the silver-white beach, rolling playful water splashes, and the rising sun slowly climbed out of the horizon and sprinkled a piece of golden yellow. Against the backdrop of the rugged water waves, the private beach behind the manor became colorful, as dreamy as the fairyland Alice once stepped on, and as colorful as charming as oil paintings.?

Crescent Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii, has been no longer open to the public since the day Ryan bought Lanai Island and has completely become his private beach.

The silver-gray battery car parked in front of the beach. Ryan helped Nicole get out of the battery car, led her into the locker room in front of the beach, helped her change into beach shoes, and then walked onto the silver beach of Crescent Bay with her hands.

During the few days we arrived at Lanai Island, the two of them would come here for a walk every day after breakfast and dinner. The beautiful scenery of the sea and sky also made Nicole, who was in a mood recently, gradually calmed down.

“Has I been very annoying lately?”

Walking on the edge of the sea, Nicole looked back at the footprints left on the beach, and held Ryan's hand firmly and asked, "Do you have a little temper?"

"How could that happen?" Ryan held her palm tightly and looked at the sea in the distance. "You have all the privileges now."

"I'm just a little nervous." Her beautiful blue eyes swept across Ryan's face, "and a little anxious."

"Dear." Ryan's hand gently touched Nicole's abdomen, "This will be a little guy who is as beautiful as his mother and as smart as his father."

"Why aren't you as smart as your mother and as beautiful as your father?" Nicole deliberately glared.

"Anyway, this is our angel." Ryan naturally would not argue about this issue, "Our angels will have all the favors of God and the human world."

The sun was getting higher and higher, and the bright sunlight gradually became stronger. Ryan looked at the time, pulled Nicole up and walked back, and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"It's almost time?" Nicole asked.

"I guess Alison should have seen it."

Ryan pressed Taylor's phone number while walking, and after hearing the familiar voices on his phone, he said, "Happy birthday, have you seen the gift I gave?"

"God!" What came from over there was Taylor's yelling excitedly, "This world is so crazy! You... the sixteen-year-old gift you gave me turned out to be a Boeing plane!"

"Don't you like it?" Ryan laughed.

"I like it!" Taylor's voice was loud and loud, "Of course I like it!"

"But!" she said again, "It's very expensive to maintain such an aircraft. I have to work hard to make money."

"Before you are eighteen, I will be responsible for all the costs of the plane." Ryan looked to the East, which was the direction of North America. "Dear, are you sure you will spend your sixteenth birthday with your fans?"

"Yes." Taylor said without hesitation. "I have been planning with the agency team for a long time. This will bring me closer to my fans and will be a great help to the new album that will be released soon."

"Okay, be careful."

Nicole's hand was placed in front of him at this time, and Ryan had no choice but to say, "Dear, Nicole wants to talk to you."

After saying that, he put his phone in Nicole's hand.

As one of the most important birthdays in life, Taylor did not go with his relatives and friends on his 16th birthday, but chose her fans, whether in the past or present life. She is a leader among singers in managing fans.

Sixteen years old, although not an adult under the law, means more freedom and autonomy. The little girl who cried on the Christmas Tree Farm in Pennsylvania was completely grown up.

Lanai's life is quiet and leisurely, except for handling some emails every day and occasionally going to the southeast to see the filming of "Jurassic Park 3". Ryan spends most of his time with Nicole, as he said, Miss Kidman is now a privileged class.

However, even away from North America, Ryan is still paying attention to this hot Thanksgiving Christmas.

"King Kong" jointly created by Peter Jackson and Universal Pictures is undoubtedly the most eye-catching super production at the moment. This super monster, created with motion capture technology for the first time, is one of the most brilliant and long-lived stars in Hollywood film history.

However, the market popularity of the film is far lower than Universal Pictures' expectations. Perhaps it is a too long preparation, or perhaps it is because the film industry has created too many monsters today, and the audience's enthusiasm for this remake does not seem to be particularly enthusiastic about it.

The first week of the film's box office of $50.13 million seems to be good, but compared to the production cost of more than $200 million, it is not very successful. Moreover, the last sentence of the film, "It's not that the plane killed the monster, but that the beauty killed the monster" was rumored by many people for jokes, and even described by many media as a product of Peter Jackson's expansion to the point of no idea.

Ryan also accompanied Nicole to watch the movie in a private theater. The lengthy preparation and slow pace of the film are indeed not suitable for today's fast-paced era. Moreover, as the absolute protagonist, King Kong has appeared too late, which can easily lead to young audiences who are accustomed to fast-paced commercial films being unable to watch it.

Perhaps older audiences will have a special King Kong complex, but how many teenagers, as the main audience group, care about this complex?

Compared to "King Kong", the video released by Disney a week later is easier to please teenagers.

Adapted from "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe", "The Legend of Narnia", jointly created by Disney Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox, was launched in North America before Christmas. The film's $81.33 million North American box office in the first week also proved that this would be a successful film.

Although, like King Kong, "The Legend of Narnia" was criticized by the critics, it did not prevent it from becoming popular among teenagers. The film took only ten days to win more than 160 million US dollars in North America, which has been very successful for a non-sequel movie.

Even two weeks after the film was released, Disney and Twentieth Century Fox announced that they would continue to work together to produce sequels.

For a commercial film that can sell well, it would be strange if the producer gave up the sequel.

In other aspects, there is also good news from Disney. After months of tug-of-war negotiations, after Disney raised its quotation to $1.5 billion, Netflix's shareholders and management put down their last reservations. This online online film rental service provider eventually became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walt Disney.

At the same time, Disney also completed negotiations with Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Sony Columbia, Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox, and obtained authorization for most excellent films in their library, solving Netflix's most serious lack of content problems.

Online and offline are moving forward together, and Disney has further improved its industrial chain.

Perhaps in this era, the benefits of this acquisition are still not visible, but in a few years, the online video and film rental business will develop rapidly like other online industries.

After spending Christmas with Nicole, Ryan returned to Los Angeles from Hawaii. After several months of preparation, "Transformers" has officially started filming, and Michael Bay only sets the film for three months.

The focus of this kind of film is definitely post-production. As early as the designs of Autobots and Decepticons were determined, the special effects production of Industrial Light and Magic kicked off.

Although the filming costs in California are relatively high, the crew still chose the main outdoor venue in Los Angeles. According to the coordination between Michael Bay and the Pentagon, Edwards Air Force Base near Angel City will undertake most of the shooting involved in the US military. In addition to a series of weapons and equipment, the Department of Defense will also send air force personnel and Navy SEALs to participate in the actual shooting.

Even the F-22 Raptor fighter that has not yet been equipped with the US military will appear in Hollywood movies for the first time.

In other words, the video is also advertising the Pentagon.

Ryan was a person who joined the crew late. As early as mid-December, Michael Bay led his men to start shooting at Holloman Air Force Base, and completely destroyed the military base from the camera with one super explosion after another.

The US military personnel who participated in the filming were fine. It is said that actors like Josh Duhamel, who have participated in military training for more than two months, always have to change their underwear after each explosion scene.

As one of the top directors in Hollywood filming explosion scenes, Michael Bay did not use the method of replacing the explosion background in the later stage of green screen shooting. All explosion scenes were shot on the spot. The backgrounds formed by props were often blown into pieces after a scene.

This shooting process is risky, but the shots are very visually impactful.

Of course, for a director like Blast Bay who has filmed "The Jedi Men", "The Deadly Island", "The Peerless Heaven" and "Pearl Harbor", controlling the explosion scene is not a difficult task, and after he temporarily got rid of the idea of ​​transformation, he naturally wanted to make "Transformers" into a film with his strongest style.

In Michael Bay's words, he destroyed half of San Francisco in "The Brave of the Deadly Island", "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" blows up an asteroid, "Pearl Harbor" destroys the US Pacific Fleet, and "Transformers" also destroys several US military bases and half of Los Angeles.

On the first day Ryan entered the crew, he almost spent the car crash, smoke and explosion. Although there were some of his scenes, he spent most of his time running wildly. Although there were no lines and too many preparations, the panic during the period was not completely pretended.
Chapter completed!
