Rebirth In Hollywood

"Ryan, the mashed potatoes here are very good, the taste is unique..."

Before Natalie's words were finished, the little curly blond who swallowed the food in his mouth said, "It seems to be beef sauce, Ryan, don't you want some?"

"Honey, do you need me to get one for you?"

Nicole, who was sitting next to the little guy, looked over and didn't need Ryan to answer. She made up her mind, beckoned to the waiter, and said, "Here's a mashed potato."

The dinner went on for a while, and things did not slide into an irreversible abyss as Ryan imagined. The estrangement between Nicole and Natalie was very obvious. Unless necessary, the two hardly spoke to each other. If it wasn't for Taylor's fault, they probably wouldn't be sitting at a table to eat.

Although watching Natalie whispering a few words to Ryan from time to time, Nicole didn't take it to heart. After all, the two have been in a relationship for ten years. If they deliberately kept a distance in front of themselves, that would be a problem.

Natalie knew very well that when she grew up, especially what happened in North Hollywood, Nicole Kidman had an opinion on herself, but she was a proud person, and the person she dated was Ryan, not him 's sister, and Ryan has long been fucked.

As for Ryan, he doesn't look any different than usual, and he often jokes with Tyler, but his heart is far less calm than it seems on the surface. If Nicole and Natalie really find something, they won't quarrel at all. , I'm afraid I can only use the stainless steel knife in my hand to pierce a few transparent holes in myself.

Maybe greedy people really deserve hell? Despite what he thought in his mind, Ryan didn't want to give up either.

A current Oscar-winning actress, a future Oscar-winning actress, a person who is recognized as the best acting among Hollywood's new generation of actors, these three super acting schools have really shown all their strengths at this moment, not only others can't see what they are doing. Thinking, I am afraid that I am blinded by my acting skills.

"How long will it take for your part to finish?" He put down the knife in his hand. Nicole asked Ryan.

"Soon." Ryan also put down the cutlery.

Although the movie is still some time away from closing, the scenes that belonged to Spearman are almost completed, and those scenes he watched from the side did not require Ryan to be present. Post editing is enough to do it all.

"Is there something going on next?" He knew very well that since Nicole asked, there might be something that needs to be dealt with by himself.

"Rupert Murdoch has sent an invitation for us to go to New York for his wedding early next month.

"Nicole flipped through her handbag and handed Ryan a very formal invitation to the wedding," and George called and invited him to the New York premiere of "The Phantom Menace." "

As she said that, her eyes drifted over Natalie's face subconsciously, and the Long Island girl was still quietly tasting her dinner.

"Murdoch seems to have just settled the divorce case?"

The divorce case was a protracted lawsuit. Unexpectedly, he returned to being single, and Murdoch was about to enter the palace of marriage again.

"It is said that he sent an invitation to the outside world the day after the official divorce." Nicole frowned, gossiping, "Just why did he choose that woman?"

"I heard that Rupert wants to enter the media industry on the other side." Ryan said after shaking his head. "Over there, human relationships often play a key role."

"His ambition is very big." Nicole sighed.

Ambition? Ryan smiled. Murdoch in his previous life still wanted to acquire Time Warner.

"Do you think he will succeed? After all, Deng has changed his nationality." Because of Ryan's interest, Nicole knew a little bit about it.

"Absolutely not."

If Murdoch's choice of Wendi Deng is really to open the door to the media industry on the other side, it is just wishful thinking.

"Hello, Ryan, Nicole. What are you talking about? Can you say that I can understand." Taylor couldn't understand what the two were saying, and couldn't help protesting.

"I haven't lost jet lag yet, it's time to rest."

Listening to these topics that had nothing to do with herself, Natalie yawned a little, stood up and nodded to the opposite side, "Goodbye. Nicole."

"Goodbye, Nate." Nicole just nodded.

…………

In the first ten days of May 1999, the attention of the media in the United States and even the entire Western world was all cast on a private dock in New York, a super giant in the media industry. Rupert Murdoch, the head of News Corp., entered the marriage hall again just 17 days after the divorce agreement with his ex-wife took effect.

The most surprising thing is that the Jewish tycoon chose a Chinese bride.

Well, this is not too unexpected, after all, the other party has become Murdoch's open lover since more than a year ago.

Is there really love between the two? Or is this the beginning of yet another grand strategy for Murdoch, as those on Wall Street imagined?

Perhaps only time and God can tell.

With this idea in mind, Ryan took Nicole and boarded Murdoch's private yacht Mourning Gloria, where Wendi Deng and Rupert Murdoch's wedding will be held on the yacht .

"Congratulations, Rupert. Congratulations, Deng."

After stepping onto the spacious deck of the yacht, Ryan and Nicole sent congratulations, because they had just arrived from Warsaw, and they were relatively late.

"Help me entertain Nicole, I have something to talk about with Ryan."

Even at his own wedding, the old man could not forget his ambition and empire. After watching Wendi Deng accompany Nicole to the ladies' area, he and Ryan walked to the less crowded front deck, "Ryan , you are the most popular movie star in Hollywood in the Far East."

"It's just a little bit famous, not the most popular." Ryan understood what the Far East was referring to.

After the New Year, "Desert Island" entered the film market on the other side. Compared with "Saving Private Ryan" introduced in the same period, it can only be described as hitting the street.

"Are you interested in cooperating?" Murdoch smiled and shook his head. If the other party was just a Hollywood superstar, where would he specially invite him here.

"Rupert..." Ryan asked tentatively, "Do you want to enter the media industry over there?"

"Are you interested?" Murdoch turned the glass in his hand, as if reminding, "That's a market of more than one billion people."

Ryan hugged his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other. The long black hair that fell on his shoulders swayed slightly with the sea breeze. Seems to really be thinking about feasibility.

In fact, he made a decision the first time Murdoch said he would cooperate.

Rupert Murdoch's plan is obvious, to put him, a figure who has a strong influence in the Far East. Pushed to the front desk to become the spokesperson of News Corporation, his marriage to Deng Wendi is part of the huge plan, and cooperation with himself is also part of it.

If his plan can be successful, even if his investment in the cooperation will be eroded by News Corp, it is nothing compared to the benefits he can obtain.

The question is, can News Corp and Rupert Murdoch succeed?

There is no doubt that Rupert Murdoch's strategy in the UK and the US has achieved great success, but the other side is a completely different country...

If Ryan grew up completely from the West, he might really be moved. After all, that market was too tempting, and he knew that News Corp's plan was just wishful thinking.

"Sorry, Rupert." Ryan put down the hand that was dragging his chin and said slowly. "You know, Marvel is starting a big series, Jenkins has invested in several big productions at the same time, and my money is tight..."

This is true. If you only look at the income on the surface, most of the money Ryan makes will soon be invested in the next plan. There really isn't much liquidity.

"That's such a pity."

Although no intention was reached, in the past few years, the cooperation between the two parties has been quite pleasant. Murdoch patted his arm, "Then I wish you all the next movies to sell well."

Seeing the figure disappearing on the front deck, Ryan shook his head. A few years later, News Corp. is a big quagmire. If you get too involved with them, it's hard to say that it won't spread to you.

I will have a series of plans in the future, so I should just keep the film site for now.

Moreover. China and the United States are currently negotiating bilaterally, including clauses related to the entertainment and cultural industry. He has joined forces with several large companies to put pressure on the federal government so as to win more interests for Hollywood and himself in the negotiation.

Although this was a wedding banquet, there was no special ceremony. Instead, it was more like a yacht party in the upper class. Murdoch also specially let Ryan follow Ryan and introduce him to celebrities in New York.

After getting to know Murdoch's three children, Ryan saw an interesting scene. The mother of Wendi Deng's ex-boyfriend also attended the wedding, which made him sigh that Western-style thinking is really interesting.

"Anything to gain?" Nicole came over with red wine.

"Rupert wanted me to invest in his project in the Far East, but I rejected it." Ryan asked Nicole curiously when he saw Nicole's eyes flickering, "What happened, Nicole?"

"It's nothing, the wind is a bit strong." Nicole found a random reason.

She couldn't take the initiative to tell the guy on the opposite side that she was hurt by the diamond ring in Wendi Deng's hand, right?

"Then let's say goodbye to the master and go back to rest." Ryan suggested.

"That's fine, my jet lag hasn't come back yet." Nicole simply pulled up Ryan and walked towards the Murdochs.

In the car back to the hotel, Nicole held Ryan's arm tightly, pursed her lips and barely said a word, until the car arrived at the Waldorf Astoria, and asked, "You want to accompany Nate to become popular. Carpet?"

"no."

Nicole's eyes were full of doubts. If she was the producer, she would definitely let the two walk the red carpet hand in hand. This is definitely a good boo for the hype.

"Nate has an exam soon." Ryan can only explain, "She has to review her homework, so she won't appear at the premiere."

As in the previous life, the Long Island girl refused to attend the premiere of Star Wars. As for the reason, Ryan can somewhat guess. Given that the two people's fame is too different, Natalie will not appear with him in the red. on the carpet.

This will also save a lot of trouble for Ryan for the time being. ()
