The time entered the end of mid-February. On the day Ryan left Los Angeles, the School of Film Arts and Sciences announced the 64th Academy Award nomination list. He received two nominations again, winning the Best Original Script and Best Original Song for "Sleeping in Seattle" and "I Will Always Love You".

The Terminator 2 he participated in not only ranked as the champion of the North American box office rankings last year, but also won six Oscar nominations in one fell swoop. However, just like before, science fiction films are not popular among the academy and all received technical nominations.

"Although Ryan Jenkins and Drew Barrymore only admit to being ordinary friends, we can see from the photos and their interactions that there may be other relationships between them. According to people familiar with the matter, the two had been playing at Universal Studios as early as last year. It is impossible for Hollywood to witness another sister-brother relationship in the near future."

"Stop! Nat, can you not read?" Ryan interrupted Natalie's soft reading.

This is the first class flight to London. Ryan and Natalie are sitting next to each other. After meeting in New York, they boarded the flight and headed to London together. After a short stay there, they will report on the crew in Krakow.

Before boarding the plane, Natalie deliberately bought a bunch of newspapers. Since the plane entered a stable state, she deliberately picked out the unreliable gossip about him and Drew and read it aloud in a low voice, but the controlled voices could still be heard by Ryan.

"All right."

Despite saying this, Natalie found another tabloid and quickly turned to the gossip page. What caught her eye was the photo of Ryan holding Drew lightly, and she couldn't help but frown.

"When Miss Drew Barrymore hugged Ryan Jenkins, he did not show any disgust or dissatisfaction. This shows that they often communicate in this way, or that the two are used to it. Also, we have received news that Ryan is tailoring a script for Drew to help her get out of her current predicament. Their relationship is absolutely extraordinary. Even though Ryan is only twelve years old now, his precociousness and intelligence are all known in the United States. It is hard to say that he is not a beauty like Drew..."

Hell! Ryan simply glared at Natalie, the girl snorted coldly, and finally stopped reading aloud.

Still a beauty? Perhaps in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, Drew is a beautiful and sexy girl, but in Ryan's opinion, her appearance is as big as five or five thick as she looks, at best, she is not ugly.

It’s okay for the big newspaper to say that even if the photos of the time were published, they rarely make random guesses. After all, as long as they are not fools, it is just a polite hug between friends. However, the tabloids would not care about so many. They could not catch Ryan himself, so they naturally used their ability to speak by looking at pictures.

Even though most of them quote people in the matter or speculation, the meaning between the lines is clearly questioning, when did you two get together? Where did they develop?

According to the call from Drew, there were many paparazzi gathering under her apartment, with obvious malicious intentions. She deliberately provoked Ryan and asked if she dared to go to her house.

Ryan is not a fool. If someone takes photos of him and Drew entering and leaving at this time, those paparazzi will go crazy.

"Nat, don't read the tabloids, they will reduce your IQ infinitely!" Ryan said without saying a word, snatched all the tabloids from Natalie and threw them into the trash can.

"Ryan! Humph~"

Natalie glared at him, opened the remaining New York Times supplement and quickly turned to the best-selling page.

This is the latest North American bestseller ranking list. The book on the top spot is "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". She just glanced at it and looked down, and soon found her target in the forty-seventh place - "Resident Evil".

Ryan is her only friend, so he will naturally pay more attention to him. Natalie knows that "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Resident Evil" will be released on February 1. As the influence of the first three Harry Potter movies is getting bigger and bigger, Ryan has been at the forefront of the media during this period. As soon as "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was launched, it sold jaw-dropping sales.

Of course, whether it is books or movies, publicity and commercial hype are essential to achieve success in this era. The publishing house has also invested considerable advertising expenses and created a huge momentum with the help of Ryan's selling albums.

As for the book "Resident Evil", since they received the manuscript, they have sought Ryan's opinion and have been in their hands - the Japanese version was published in Japan last year - so they naturally have to use Harry Potter's east wind to promote this novel.

In fact, they did a pretty good job. The two books were launched at the same time, and there was no phenomenon of pulling each other. Instead, many Harry Potter fans bought "Resident Evil" when buying "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".

Objectively speaking, the names of Ryan and Harry Potter have indeed driven the sales of "Resident Evil". Without games, it is very unexpected to be included in the best-selling list.

However, after Ryan glanced at Natalie, he just shrugged. He just wanted to disgust Japan with the publication of "Resident Evil". As for sales, he really didn't think much about it. Anyway, Jinslie has registered many things in advance, such as Resident Evil, Battle Royale, etc.

Natalie started to read softly at this time, and she was reading a book review.

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire inherited the usual style of this series, full of childlike fun and imagination. Although as Ryan and the protagonists grow older, the content inevitably develops towards adulthood, it is still a wonderful reading material, even better than the first three. This series will surely become the best all-age work in the 1990s!"

"As for "Resident Evil", it is more like a thrilling adventure novel in a zombie cloak. Although the reason for the zombie is explained to a certain extent by technological factors, the text in addition to the wonderful fighting and some bloody descriptions, and the hidden worries about the infinite expansion of large companies and large groups, does not bring people more questions worth thinking about. Compared with the somewhat childlike Harry Potter series and Jurassic Park, it is not on the same level at all. What I want to say is that Ryan Jenkins, don't continue to try these adult themes, but go back and continue to write works of talismans and your age. That is the way you should go now!"

Looking at Natalie who had put down the newspaper, Ryan asked, "Is this the latest book review?"

"This is quite restrained, and there are more intense words. Do you still need to continue listening?" Natalie raised her eyebrows.

Looking at the clouds that kept going backwards outside the machine window, Ryan stretched, "Forget it, although it's a bit boring, I don't want my ears to take the initiative to seek abuse."

"Hmph~" Natalie made a disdainful nasal sound.

"Dear Nat, are you dissatisfied with Resident Evil?" Ryan can guess what she thinks after being a friend for so long.

"This book is really not very well written. Well... you can buy one before boarding the plane to pass the time, and throw it into the trash can when you get off the plane." Natalie criticized without hesitation, "The heroine Alice is also a symbol, which has no characteristics of her own at all. It is no different from those superheroes with developed limbs and simple minds."

"Okay, dear, you're right, Alice is actually a superhero!" Ryan shrugged, "Don't forget that at the end of the book, she already has superpowers."

"So you are planning to write a sequel?" Natalie widened her eyes. For some reason, after seeing Ryan this time, she was dissatisfied with him and was always picking on him.

"I don't have this interest anymore. If I can, I will authorize it to others."

After wrinkling his little nose, Natalie's face showed a slightly smug look. No matter what aspect, she would be very happy as long as she could overwhelm this guy.

It takes about seven hours to fly from New York to London, and it takes five time zones. It is natural that it cannot be passed by newspapers for such a long time. Ryan is fine, but gradually got used to his flying career. Not only is Natalie younger than him, she is also weaker. The two chatted for another half an hour before they started yawning.

"Sleep for a while, Nat." Ryan waved to the flight attendant and asked for a blanket.

"Oh well."

In the past, Jinsli was his nanny, but now he has become Natalie's nanny, but Mrs. Shelley and Jinsli are both in the back rows, so he is the only one who plays this role.

Seeing Ryan carefully wrapping her blanket, Natalie suddenly felt that what she had done since she boarded the plane seemed a bit too much. She shouldn't have deliberately thought about gossip and scandals in front of him.

"Get a good night's sleep, I'll call you before the plane lands." Ryan said with a smile.

Natalie pouted, but before closing her eyes, she asked in a silly way, "Ryan, is the thing between you and Drew Barrymore true?"

"God, Nat, you shouldn't have read those tabloids. Your IQ is obviously lowered by them." Ryan muttered dissatisfiedly, "Do you know how stupid eggs deal with smart people?"

Without waiting for Natalie to speak, he continued, "Put down smart people's IQ to the same level and defeat them in the stupidest way!"

"You're so bored, Ryan." Natalie got the answer she wanted and closed her eyes with satisfaction.

I wish you a good dream, dear Nat!

After looking at the little loli in her dream, Ryan took out the picture book she carried with her and outlined it with a carbon pencil. Natalie's cute sleeping look slowly presented to the drawing.

After a long time, Ryan smiled with satisfaction, quickly indicated the date and location on the corner of the drawing paper, and solemnly put it away. This can be regarded as a commemoration of the friendship between the two. It may be very interesting to take it out and see it in ten years.
Chapter completed!
