Rebirth In Hollywood

"Ryan, do you really plan to use all British actors?" After Ryan sat next to him, Taylor asked with wide eyes, "Including Hermione Granger?"

"There is such a plan." Ryan nodded, feeling a little strange, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Don't you think I'm a good fit for Miss Know-It-All?" Taylor approached with a smile.

"You?" Ryan flicked her little head lightly, and the little girl covered her forehead and muttered, "It hurts, it will make you stupid!"

"Aren't you not interested in acting?" Ryan was not willing to bounce her hard, and ignored Taylor's complaints.

"I'm not interested in other characters, but this is the character you created. It's not like you don't know that I like Hermione Granger very much." Taylor didn't seem to be joking.

"What about your future singing career?" Ryan reminded, "There will be at least seven films in this series, and it will probably last ten years. These ten years are the most important ten years for your growth. Are you really willing to give up singing? "

"I can take care of both aspects. Didn't you do a good job before?" Although she said so, there was still hesitation in her tone.

"Honey, people's energy is limited. Didn't I finally give up my career in music and put all my energy into movies?"

In this day and age, Barbra Streisand cannot be copied. It doesn't matter if she played tickets when she was a child, but it is almost impossible to keep pace with her when she grows up.

"But... I'm smart enough, don't you also admit that I'm a genius?" Taylor took out what he had said.

"Alison, you have to know that being smart is a talent, not a privilege." Ryan believed that with the little guy's IQ, he would definitely be able to understand what he said.

"Okay then." The little guy nodded and said regretfully, "I don't know which lucky little girl will be cheaper."

Ryan wasn't just thinking about Taylor's future. It's also for the movie, if Taylor's wish comes true, after 2005, Miss Know-It-All, who is nearly 6 feet tall, will appear on the big screen waving a magic wand. It was a disaster.

As for acting skills, the lowest requirement for this role is acting skills.

From the second day on, the media was flooded with a lot of news about Harry Potter, more and more reporters and paparazzi gathered outside the villa, and many book fans also came here, not only blocking the road in front of the villa,

Even the nearby Kensington Park was full.

And the situation here was quickly spread back to North America. Now that it is the off-season of movies, it has instantly attracted the attention of the American media. They don't care if some words come from Ryan's mouth. Disdainful of the point of view in the British media that "the UK must be chosen from location to actors", and believes that only a mature Hollywood system can turn a novel into an excellent movie.

To this end, there was also a small dispute in the media on both sides of the Atlantic, but Ryan simply ignored it. This kind of hype is more conducive to publicity.

No matter which side he leans on, it will have a negative impact, and it is best to keep silent.

The outside of London's residence has become a vegetable market, and Ryan has almost become the center of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Every move can attract countless attentions. It is no longer suitable for going out. After staying here for two days. Just returned to Los Angeles.

"This trip was so bad it couldn't be worse." This is what the little girl complained after the plane left the coast of England.

After Ryan took her out of Los Angeles International Airport, they were still greeted by hundreds of reporters. The crowded scene made the little girl cover her head with George's coat and refused to show up again.

The North American media does not have as much Harry Potter plot as the British media. Their goal is not in this regard either. Compared with this, Blizzard Entertainment, which just went public last week, is the focus of their concern.

"Ryan, since Blizzard Entertainment went public, the stock price has been rising rapidly. What do you think about this?"

"Could you please disclose the number of wealth you own?"

"How did you complete this magical acquisition in the first place?"

"I heard that a large group from France has sent you a purchase application, involving an amount close to 4 billion U.S. dollars. Is it true?"

Although Ryan remained silent, these guys' questions were thrown over as if they didn't want money, and they buzzed like ten billion flies in a radius of hundreds of feet.

Looking at the reporters who were desperately crowding around, Ryan understood that without saying a few words, these guys would definitely not let him go easily, and immediately made a gesture of pressing down. Seeing that he was about to speak, the reporter immediately fell silent.

"Frankly speaking, I don't know much about the game industry. I just accepted my investment team's suggestion to acquire the game studio that was the predecessor of Blizzard Entertainment. They were very optimistic about this company at the beginning, so I paid out of my pocket, and this is how I got it." Now."

Believe it or not, what Ryan said is true, "I didn't play any role except to provide some funds. Blizzard has today's success, and its management has the most credit, that's it."

On the car home, Taylor stared at Ryan, blinking his sapphire blue eyes, and asked curiously after a long time,

"Ryan, are you richer than before?"

"Well... so to speak." Although they are all shares that cannot be realized immediately.

"How much? Three billion U.S. dollars? Or five billion U.S. dollars?" The little guy continued to ask.

"Honey, do you know what three billion and five billion are?" Ryan rubbed her blond hair.

"This..." The little girl frowned, and after a while, she waved her little hand and said in a daze, "In short, there are a lot."

"Tell me, what gift do you want?" Ryan couldn't understand what she was thinking.

"Airplane, I want a plane of my own, a big one like that!" Taylor was not polite at all.

"Yes, but not now." Ryan shook his finger at her, "When you turn sixteen, I will definitely give you a big plane."

"no sooner said than done?"

"no sooner said than done."

"Wow~" Taylor jumped out of the seat excitedly, and shouted loudly, "Why isn't it my sixteenth birthday today!"

When sending Taylor home, Ryan fetched the latest information about Blizzard Entertainment prepared by Scott. Although Scott himself was on Wall Street, dealing with some follow-up matters, the thick information was enough for Ryan to know the details. Case.

When he was going to Europe, after several years of hard work, Blizzard Entertainment finally landed on Nasdaq. Just like Pixar Studios back then, in less than a week, its stock price continued to rise, and its market value increased by a sufficient amount. One out of five suddenly became one of the most popular star stocks.

Unlike most popular IT stocks, Blizzard Entertainment has solid performance behind it.

In January of this year, Blizzard Entertainment officially launched the real-time strategy game "StarCraft". In just one month, the sales of this game exceeded 3 million copies. Up to now, it has become the world's largest computer game in one fell swoop.

In addition, the long-launched "Warcraft 2" and "Diablo" have not weakened at all, and are still creating a lot of revenue.

And after the successful listing, Blizzard Entertainment's management immediately announced that the production of "Diablo 2" and "Warcraft 3" has been put on the agenda, and these two sequel masterpieces will come out at the beginning of the new century.

The most direct effect of all of this is the rise in the stock price. Not to mention Ryan, the major shareholder with an absolute controlling stake, on the day of listing, Blizzard Entertainment's management produced more than a dozen millionaires. The founders became multi-millionaires.

No wonder the reporters are so crazy. In this world, how many people in this age group can get billions of dollars without inheriting inheritance?

What's more, this person grew up under the eyes of the whole world, and has the status of a big Hollywood star.

It is also because of this star status that many media and reporters have expressed a lot of worrying remarks.

"Because of well-known reasons, we can't know exactly how much Ryan's net worth is, but the most conservative estimate should not be less than four billion US dollars. He is definitely the richest person in the world under the age of twenty. Of course , All these wealth are earned by Ryan through his own mind and hard work, using legal means, we will be envious and jealous, but more of a blessing, I wish him farther and farther on the road to success."

"Such a huge wealth can't help but make us a little worried. After all, no one can ask such a rich person to continue his acting career. We are worried that Ryan will give up his identity as an actor and completely turn behind the scenes. Does he still have the motivation to continue his acting career? ?”

This kind of view is not only the position of many media, but also a large number of fans are also worried. They crowded into Ryan's personal website to leave messages, hoping that wealth will not make Ryan give up his career.

When Ryan heard the news, he couldn't help laughing and crying, as if he never said the words to end his acting career? I never gave up my intention of being an actor.

Maybe the reason why he entered this circle was very complicated, but these years have passed, playing various roles and leaving his indelible traces in the classic movies of his previous life has long been one of Ryan's greatest pleasures. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown away his most talented music career.

Besides, money can make him more free in Hollywood. After the age of sixteen, he starred in all the movies he invested in, and he also served as a producer. People dare to impose on him, and even his friends have hardly encountered deliberate difficulties.

These capitals are the biggest barrier Ryan uses to protect the people he wants to protect, and also the biggest weapon to overwhelm those who dare to attack him and his friends.

Not to mention anything else, after his cryptic warning, Rick Solomon, who was also in the entertainment industry, never approached Paris Hilton again. ()
