Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 240 The audition that ends at the beginning

"Sorry, Mrs. Shelley, Mr. Avner, I didn't take good care of Nat."

At the entrance of Los Angeles International Airport, Ryan is seeing off Natalie's family. After this incident, before Natalie becomes an adult, I am afraid it will be difficult to come to the West Coast as before, only needing an assistant to accompany her.

"Let's go first." Mrs. Shelly pulled her husband.

"Sorry, Ryan, I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble." Natalie tilted her head, George and two other bodyguards were standing not far away.

"Come on, Nate, do we need to say something like this?" Ryan smiled indifferently.

yes! Why do we have to say such polite words between us? Natalie remembered what happened that day again. His body was always in front of her, without any hesitation or any fear.

"I should go." Natalie turned and walked towards the gate.

"Good luck, Nat!" Ryan raised his right arm and waved.

"Ryan!"

Natalie turned around suddenly and ran back, just when Ryan was a little surprised, she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Come and see me in New York if you have time, okay, Ryan?"

"I will."

Ryan hugged her hard and rubbed her curly hair again, "Take care, Nate."

After leaving the airport and getting into the Bentley, Ryan waved to George, "Go to Burbank."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the back again, and another car followed a short distance away, with two new bodyguards in it.

After the Land Rover was beaten into a hornet's nest, Ryan gave up the idea of ​​driving by himself, and had no opinion on Nicole's forcible addition of bodyguards.

The North Hollywood bank robbery brought a series of chain reactions. Perhaps because of his celebrity involvement, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is facing enormous pressure from public opinion.

Every detail of their actions. They were all observed under the microscope by the media, and they were criticized violently. In particular, the speed of the swat team in dispatching the police was not as fast as that of the reporters of the TV station.

Some tabloids also clamored, 'America nearly lost a great genius because of the stupidity and slowness of the police department. ’

There were even hundreds of radical fans who surrounded the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department headquarters. Protesting their actions nearly wounded Ryan.

Anyway. Los Angeles police were involved in the firefight. It was a real shame. Hundreds of police officers were beaten to pieces by two gangsters, although no one died. However, more than 30 innocent citizens were injured.

In the face of huge public pressure, the police's public relations personnel found Pie Kingsley, and Ryan also gave a promise that he would not comment on the incident.

The Los Angeles police breathed a sigh of relief, a huge boon, and went on a dizzying PR operation to restore the police's reputation.

Ryan vaguely remembered that someone on the Internet in a previous life claimed that the reason why the gangsters were so fierce was because they used ak produced on the other side of the ocean. Also known as the eighty-one bar.

In fact, the automatic rifles used by the gangsters, including the weapons seized by the police from their residences, all came from Romania and the former Soviet Union, but what everyone did not expect was that. The police summed up part of the motive for the robbery of the two gangsters on the head of a movie - "The Robbery".

They found the videotape of "The Wire" from the gangster's video recorder. A series of evidence shows that the gangster watched the classic shootout in the movie several times before the action, and seemed to deliberately imitate the robber in the movie.

Of course, this is the statement of the Los Angeles police spokesman. As for whether they are doing it for public relations and shirk responsibility, only God knows.

However, Michael? Mann scoffed at the police statement, that the gangster's behavior and his film has nothing to do.

This is North America after all. Even if it is related to the movie, it will not cause any trouble to the entertainment industry. The mainstream media only took it for a while, and even Al Pacino and Robert Deloney, who were shot in bed, did not make any statement.

After arriving at Jenkins Pictures, Ryan went straight to the audition room located in the southeast corner of the ground floor, where he was preparing to choose the heroine for "Peerless Calamity".

This is the last audition. After the script revision was completed, Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck signed an actor contract successively. Among the main actors, only the heroine was missing.

Ryan just rejected Michael Bay's suggestion about Liv Tyler some time ago. He has never been a generous person. As for whether Exploding Bay has any deal with the other party, that's none of his business.

Although Bangbei complained a little, he couldn't say anything. This is the Hollywood system, and the power of the crew rests in the hands of the producers.

Besides, after filming this movie, Ryan will not cooperate with Bang Bei in a short period of time. After ten years, Bang Bei, who has experienced major setbacks, will naturally dissipate those out-of-time thoughts.

"Actors must be beautiful enough while ensuring basic acting skills. We chose a vase!" This is Ryan's rigid rule for heroines. The heroine in popcorn movies is not beautiful enough, which will definitely affect the box office figures.

Before reaching the audition room, Ryan found that Nicole was standing in front of him talking to a blonde woman who looked familiar, as if she had seen it before.

"Nicole, why are you here?" Ryan beckoned to her.

"Meet a friend," Nicole introduced to him. "Ryan, remember, Naomi Watts, I met at Annie's house before."

In fact, after Ryan approached, he recognized who the other party was. Isn't this the woman who went to the house for help a few years ago? Just looking at the current situation, it seems that the development in the past two years is still not smooth.

"Hi, Ryan, long time no see." The other party stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Miss Watts."

"You can call me Nami."

"Okay, Nami." Ryan shook her hand. "You are..."

"I came to audition for "Peerless Tribulation" and just saw Nicole." She was a little embarrassed.

"Is that so?"

Although the name of the other party was extremely familiar and he should have been a star in his previous life, Ryan looked at Nicole. This was her relationship. If Nicole didn't express it, he wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

"Well, Nami, it's still a while before the audition. Come and sit in my office for a while." Nicole took Naomi Watts to the second floor and gave her a look at the same time.

Ryan naturally understands what Nicole means. After all, they are fellow countrymen and classmates in Australia. They usually turn a blind eye. Now they are all in Jenkins Films. If Nicole doesn't help, it will definitely affect her in Australia. reputation in the gang.

Like the previous life, the Australian gang in Hollywood in this life will always make the same voice at critical moments, and Nicole is one of the leaders worthy of the name.

Hollywood, like all social circles, is always surrounded by numerous small circles.

Ryan's support, Paramount's director, and the de facto controller of Jenkins Pictures are enough to give Nicole enormous influence.

Looking at the two women who disappeared around the corner, Ryan could only shake his head. The heroine's last audition had not officially started, and it was basically over.

Nicole's classmate? I don't want to be too young, but for movies, age has never been a problem. This blonde woman is beautiful enough. As long as her acting skills are reasonable, she can definitely become a qualified vase.

Having said that, after working hard in Hollywood for so many years, and being able to break into the final round of auditions, no matter how unsatisfactory the acting is, it will not be worse than the one from the previous life, right?

"Hi, Jerry, and Mike."

Walking into the audition room, Ryan greeted the two people who were preparing, "I heard that you have found a suitable location?"

"Yes, in South Dakota, the vast terrain there is very similar to the surface of an asteroid." The speaker was Michael Bay with a long horse face.

"We also had an agreement with the Kennedy Space Center to shoot the Columbia and Atlantis launches," Jerry Bruckheimer added.

"Okay, the crew will be handed over to the two of you. I believe you will work together again to create a masterpiece no less than "Brave to the Dead Island"!"

Speaking of "Brave the Deadly Island", Ryan still has some regrets in his heart, why did he forget this movie?

However, this just shows that he is still an ordinary person who forgets, has greed, and occasionally has unrealistic thoughts.

The audition started soon, and the actresses who came in one after another, regardless of whether they were blonde, brown or black, all had one thing in common, that is, they were very beautiful, and one of them even surpassed Nicole Kidman, but it was a pity The thing is, they are destined not to get the role.

Don't say it's unfair, the world will never be fair. Behind most film crews' auditions, there are all kinds of inside stories, related households, acquaintances' recommendations, and certain transactions, which are just the norm in this circle.

"Jerry, Mike, what's your opinion?"

After all five actresses entered the final audition, Ryan stood behind the camera, looking at the footage and asking for their opinions.

"That... Katherine Beckinsale is very good." Michael Bay offered his own suggestion.

"I think Naomi Watts is more suitable. Her acting is better." Jerry Bruckheimer obviously saw something.

In fact, both of them knew that Ryan Jenkins was the one who could really call the shots when it came to the $130 million joint investment between Jenkins Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox.

After watching the audition, Ryan's last worry about Nicole's classmate disappeared without a trace. Her acting skills are still excellent, and she hasn't made it through for so many years, presumably the reasons are very complicated.

"Naomi Watts is okay." Ryan made a decision, "Jerry, don't forget to notify her as soon as possible." ()
