Chapter 240: Audition from the beginning to the end

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

At the entrance of Los Angeles International Airport, Ryan is seeing off Natalie's family. After this incident, before Natalie became an adult, it would be difficult for Natalie to come to the West Coast as before. He only needs an assistant to accompany him to come to the West Coast.

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

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

"Come on, Nat, do we need to say something like this between us?" Ryan smiled carelessly.

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

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

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

"Ryan!"

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

"If you have time, come to see me in New York, okay, Ryan?"

"I will."

Ryan gave her a strong hug, then rubbed her curly hair, "Take care, Nat."

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

After speaking, he looked at the back again, and another car followed up a short distance away. Inside were two newly arrived bodyguards.

After the Land Rover was turned into a hornet's nest, Ryan faded his thoughts of driving, and had no opinion on Nicole's forcibly adding bodyguards. If even the safety is not guaranteed, what else can be said.

The North Hollywood bank robbery brought about a chain reaction, perhaps because he, a celebrity, was involved in it. The Los Angeles County Police Department is facing tremendous pressure from public opinion.

Every detail of their actions. They were all observed under a microscope by the media, and were criticized like storms. Especially the speed of the swat team was not as fast as the reporters of the TV station. This is simply a big joke, and the state government has no face.

Some tabloids also clamored, ‘Because of the stupidity and slowness of the police department, America almost lost a great genius. ’

There were even hundreds of radical fans, besieging the headquarters of the Los Angeles County Police Department. Protesting their actions almost caused Ryan to be injured.

Anyway. The Los Angeles police were involved in this firefight. Indeed, hundreds of police officers were beaten into an army by two gangsters, although none of them died. However, more than 30 innocent citizens were injured.

In the face of huge pressure from public opinion, the public relations staff of the police found Pa? Jinsli, and Ryan also gave a promise not to comment on the incident.

The Los Angeles police breathed a sigh of relief. This could be regarded as a huge piece of good news, and then they launched a dazzling public relations operation to restore the reputation of the police.

Ryan vaguely remembered that some people on the Internet in the previous life claimed that the reason why the gangsters' firepower was so fierce was because they used ak produced across the ocean. It is also commonly known as Bayi Gang.

In fact, the automatic rifles used by the culprits, including the weapons found by the police from their residences, were all from Romania and the former Soviet Union, but what everyone did not expect was that. The police summarized part of the motives for the robbery of the two bandits in the head of a movie-"The Wire".

They found the "Wire of Fire" videotape from the gangster's video recorder. A series of evidence showed that the gangster had watched the classic shootout in the movie several times before the action, and it seemed that he was deliberately imitating the robber in the movie.

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

However, Michael Man sneered at the police's statement, thinking that the culprit's behavior had nothing to do with his movie.

After all, this is North America. Even if it is really related to movies, it will not cause any trouble to the entertainment industry. The mainstream media just took a shot, and even the shot-shot Al Pacino and Robert Delaunay did not make any statements.

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

This was the last audition. After the script modification was completed, Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck signed actor contracts successively. Among the main actors, only the leading actress was the only one left.

Ryan just rejected Michael Bay’s suggestion about Liv Tyler some time ago. He has never been a generous person. As for whether Bombshell has any dealings with the other party, it doesn’t matter to him.

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

Besides, after making this movie, Ryan will not work with Bombshell in a short time. After ten years, Bombshell who has experienced major setbacks will naturally dissipate those untimely thoughts.

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

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.

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

In fact, Ryan recognized who the other party was after he approached. 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 of the past two years is still not smooth.

"Hi, Ryan, it's been a long time." The other party stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Miss Watts."

"You can call me Nami."

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

"I came to the audition for "Peerless Tribulation" and happened to see Nicole." She was a little embarrassed.

"Is that so?"

Although the name of the other party is very familiar, he should be a star in the previous life, but Ryan looked at Nicole, this is her relationship, if Nicole did not express, he would not do anything extra.

"Well, Nami, there is still some time before the audition, go to my office and sit for a while." Nicole took Naomi Watts to the second floor, and at the same time gave him a look.

Ryan naturally understood what Nicole meant. After all, they were fellow Australians and classmates. It was fine to ignore them. Now they are all in Jenkins Pictures. If Nicole does not help anymore, it will definitely affect her in Australia. Reputation in the gang.

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

Hollywood is like all social circles, there are always countless small circles in the big circle.

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

Seeing the two women disappearing around the corner, Ryan could only shook his head. The final audition of the heroine had not officially started, and it could basically be declared over.

Nicole's classmate? I think that age will not be too young, but for movies, age is always not a problem. This blond woman is beautiful enough, as long as her acting skills are reasonable, she can definitely become a qualified vase.

Having said that, after so many years of hard work in Hollywood, he was able to break into the final round of auditions. Even if his acting skills are not satisfactory, he will never be worse than his 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." It was Michael Bay with a long horse face.

"We have also reached an agreement with the Kennedy Space Center to take pictures when the'Columbia' and'Atlantis' are launched." Jerry Bruckheimer added.

"Well, the crew will be handed over to you two, I believe you will work together again to produce a masterpiece that is no less than "Brave to Death Island"!"

Speaking of "Brave to Death 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, will forget, have greed, and occasionally have unrealistic thoughts.

The audition started very quickly. The actresses who came in successively, whether they were blonde, brown, or black, all have the same characteristics, that is, they are very beautiful, and one of them is even more beautiful than Nicole Kidman, but unfortunately The thing is, they are destined not to get this role.

Don't say unfairness, there is never fairness in this world. Behind most film crew auditions , there are all kinds of inside information, such as relationships, recommendations from acquaintances, and certain transactions, which are just normal in this circle.

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

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

"That... Catherine Beckinsale is very good." Michael Bay made his own suggestion.

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

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

After watching the audition, Ryan's last worry about Nicole was that she disappeared without a trace. Her acting skills are pretty good. She hasn't made her debut for so many years, and the reasons must be very complicated.

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