Rebirth In Hollywood

"Wow, you're amazing, Ryan, on the cover of Fortune."

Natalie was sitting in the passenger seat of the Land Rover, staring strangely at Ryan, who was driving intently.

"Come on, Nate, do you have to use this tone?" Ryan glanced at her, then quickly turned his head back.

Different from the last time we met, Natalie's appearance has completely grown, and there is a faint style that belongs to her. The idol of the past life and the friend of the current life have almost become one person.

"Why not?" Natalie finally looked back.

After all, they haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and neither of them has any intention of arguing. Natalie came to Los Angeles yesterday. In addition to attending an event announcement, she also signed a new agent contract with Pi Jinsili.

"Nate, you don't have to be afraid of him, as long as we work together, we will definitely defeat the bad guy Ryan!" A childish girl's voice came from the rear seat, "Right, Christine?"

"Me? It's none of my business." The short-haired little girl was very smart to stay out of it.

"Humph!" Then came Tyler's nasal voice, "Kristen, you are such a disappointment!"

Ryan and Natalie looked at each other and smiled. With the little guy in the back, it was impossible to be quiet. Since getting in the car, she has been interjecting from time to time to show her existence, for fear that the two people in front will ignore her.

Looking at the rearview mirror, the two little guys were still wearing seat belts honestly. Ryan was relieved, stepped on the accelerator, and increased the speed a bit.

"Aren't you going to pick up Scarlett?" Natalie was a little puzzled.

"Well, they just moved." Ryan pulled up the road to Laurel Valley in North Hollywood. "How long has it been since you saw her, Nate?"

"Since she moved to Los Angeles, we've only spoken on the phone and wrote letters." Natalie closed the car window and folded her curly hair that had been blown away by the wind. "Scarlett has grown up."

"You've grown up too, Nat!" Ryan sighed meaningfully.

The car quickly stopped in front of a ** villa near Laurel Valley, and Ryan honked the car horn a few times. Scarlett Johansson, wearing a green dress and half-length blonde hair, ran out of the house.

"Hey, Scarlett, this way!" Natalie opened the door and jumped out.

"Nate,

long time no see. "While talking, the two girls, one big and one small, hugged tightly.

Seeing the two girls hugging each other so affectionately, Ryan couldn't help scratching his head a little. The relationship between the two was far beyond his imagination. Even in the past. The two were barely friends. But not so close.

"Ladies, it's getting late."

Seeing that they didn't stop, Ryan had to shout.

"Hi Ryan." Scarlett walked to the car. Greeted several people one after another, and everyone in the car knew, "And Taylor and Christine."

"Hello, Scarlett." Christine waved to her friendly.

"Hmph~" The little head with blond curly hair turned to one side.

"Hey, Tyler, what about your manners?" Ryan turned around, the little girl wrinkled her nose, "I don't want to talk to her."

"Get in the car first." Natalie opened the door and climbed into the co-pilot first.

"Why can't you sit in the back. Nat?" It was Tyler who spoke.

But just after she finished speaking, Scarlett had already sat in the back seat, probably due to the age difference of several years, she just curled her lips and said nothing.

"They... won't fight, will they?"

Ryan glanced in the rearview mirror. Leaning into Natalie's ear, the Long Island girl gave him a pair of white eyes, "Do you think everyone is as boring as you?"

"Then pay more attention to the back."

After instructing, Ryan started the car, and the car quickly drove into the interstate road to Richmond.

"Where are you taking us?" Natalie looked back at the back of the car and felt relieved when she saw George's car crashing not far away. Obviously, she felt that Mr. Bodyguard was more reliable than the guy next to him. spectrum.

"Should it be Pixar?" Scarlett leaned on the front seat, guessing.

"Bingo!" Ryan snapped his fingers, "Don't you want to see where Toy Story was born?"

"Of course I do," the two youngest children shouted in unison.

"You should have other purposes, right?" Natalie was the one who knew Ryan the most.

"Honey, I'm just taking you to visit Pixar..." Before Ryan could finish speaking, Natalie laughed, "Do a little favor by the way, right, Ryan?"

"But how can we help?" the two little girls asked.

"Oh, I heard Mom say that Pixar just built a new restaurant and playground, and the pastries there are said to be delicious." Ryan could see the green light in Christine's eyes in the rearview mirror.

"Come on, Christine, if you eat it again, you will become a little fat girl like Scarlett." Taylor showed a sincere expression, but she didn't know that she had offended another girl.

Any girl who loves beauty will never like to be called a chubby girl by others, and Scarlett is no exception, and immediately retorted, "Miss Taylor Swift, how do you know that I am fat? Even if I am a little fat, Prettier than a girl who doesn't even have front teeth!"

"My teeth will grow in soon."

"That's also a pair of rabbit teeth!"

"You are the one, you will definitely grow short and fat in the future!"

"You'll be a six-foot hemp, and an airport!"

"Can you be quiet for a while?" Natalie had no choice but to turn around and persuade.

It's a pity that the two girls were obviously getting angry, chatting like two fighting cocks, but fortunately, the two of them were still a bit measured and didn't have a hands-on posture.

"Taylor, Scarlett, please stop arguing?" Kristin persuaded weakly.

"Shut up, Christine, or you'll be a tomboy!"

Is this a curse? Ryan listened to these seemingly outrageous words, but they were actually a bit plausible, and finally couldn't help it.

"Shut up! Taylor, apologize to Scarlett, and Scarlett don't say it anymore!"

"I...I don't want it!"

"Alison, I think you should ride in a car with George." Ryan took the attitude of teaching her music.

"I... well, sorry, Scarlett Johansson."

Sighing slightly, Ryan was rather helpless, since he came to Los Angeles. This little guy can be said to have grown up with thousands of pets, a family that is far richer than his previous life. Nicole Kidman, who treats her as his own younger sister, also loves her because of his and Nicole's face. Plus other big names.

Is this the princess disease?

Fortunately, as she grows older, she can still calm her by showing her face, but she doesn't know what it will be like when she grows up.

"Wow, is this Pixar?"

The car just stopped, and several little guys looked at not far away at the same time, where is the office area that Pixar has just completed.

After listing and financing. Pixar has ample development funds. Not just buying new equipment. It also bought several nearby buildings, remodeled the office area to be more free and lively, and added a restaurant full of childishness and imagination.

"It's beautiful, is that the lamp? Ryan. Can you put one for me at home?"

Everyone stood in front of the office area, facing the iconic lamp of Pixar, which Taylor obviously took a fancy to.

"Okay, dear, each of you can take home a smaller one when you leave."

Ryan didn't bring them here to rob them. It was the suggestion of several senior executives of Pixar to choose some children of different ages to watch the latest animation clips.

Brand new screening room, including Ryan. They all sat quietly in their chairs and watched the screen playing attentively. Even if there was no soundtrack, even the dubbing of more than a dozen insect characters was temporarily added, but these lively insects. From the moment it appeared on the screen, it attracted the attention of all the little guys.

"This is an ant..." The youngest Christine couldn't help shouting.

"Shh!"

Under Ryan's raised finger, she quickly quieted down, staring at the ant fighting the grasshopper without blinking.

That's right! The management of Pixar brought in Ryan and others to watch the clips of the trial production of "The Bugs".

After the huge success of "Toy Story", many people suggested that the production of the sequel should start immediately, but John Lasseter had other ideas, he got inspiration from "The Ant and the Grasshopper" in "Aesop's Prophecy" , found someone to adapt the current script, and led the team to produce a short clip.

The clip quickly came to an end, and the moment the picture disappeared from the screen, the little guys — and the children of some Pixar employees — screamed.

"Why not?"

"Should I keep watching?"

"Those bugs look like ants and grasshoppers, so funny..."

"Children, this is just a trial clip. If you want to see the movie, you will have to wait a few years." Ed Kammer stood up. "Do you think it looks good?"

"looks good!"

"Um... just as fun as Toy Story."

"Uncle Ed, when can we see the full movie."

Although the sound was a bit messy, more than a dozen children were all satisfied, and a few were clamoring to play it again.

"Ryan, what's your opinion?" Ed Kammer and John Lasseter finished comforting the children and came to the three oldest people. After all, Pixar does not produce animations for young people, but movies for all ages. .

"It's interesting." Natalie's comments on animated films can be completely ignored.

"Not as kind as "Toy Story", but these bugs are very cute and not as creepy as life." Scarlett Johansson said with a nod.

"What about you, Ryan?"

"Ed, and John, I want to ask about your specific plans next." Ryan didn't answer, but asked a question.

"We plan to make "The Bugs" first, and then start "Toy Story 2" after the tedious work of character finalization is over." Ed Camer, who was in charge, spoke.

"Where's the money?" Ryan asked again.

"Our budget is sufficient to support the completion of both programs."

"Okay." Ryan nodded, "I have no other opinion, but I hope the next work is still a boutique like "Toy Story"." ()
