Chapter 3 Script

Now that you have come to the famous metropolis of London, it is natural to visit some places. Big Ben, the Thames River, Victoria Tower, and the Palace of Westminster have all left the footprints of Ryan and Nicole.

  However, what Ryan wanted to do most was another place. After his persistence, Nicole finally took him to King's Cross Station.

  This is the most famous train station in the past life and is the starting point of the magical journey of the magical little wizard.

  That's right, the increasingly unscrupulous Ryan set his next target on Harry Potter. Originally, this series was not part of his plan. This kind of novel full of British style would not be available if it were not published in It was difficult to write about his experience of living in the UK, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself in the future.

  Who would have thought that plans could never keep up with the rapid changes. Not only did he meet Nicole Kidman, who had a very different fate, but he also followed her to London, where he would live for the next two years. So if he didn't make this past life It's a pity that he and Nicole met on the Avenue of Stars to include an industrial chain that has created tens of billions of dollars in value.

  As for whether Aunt Rowling will commit suicide due to hunger and cold in the future, that is not within the scope of his consideration. After all, she is not Nicole Kidman, has no kindness to him, and has no relationship with him.

  Besides, the life and death of the British guy has nothing to do with him!

  In the following more than a year, Nicole devoted herself to the stage play. Ryan went to see the show several times and found that Nicole Kidman's acting skills were far better than when she entered Hollywood in her previous life.

  As for himself, life is boring and boring. He devotes his time in class to writing, exercising after school, and learning all kinds of knowledge that will be of great help to him in the future.

  In order to get rid of the sexual habits he had developed in the orphanage in his two previous lives, he also asked Nicole to hire a strict British etiquette teacher. He spent his free time training for a whole year, and the etiquette was formed to a certain extent. habit.

  As long as he wants to, he is a standard little gentleman.

  He had already written and revised the first three Harry Potter books. After entering 1988, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was officially published. Just like in the previous life, it did not cause a sensation.

  In addition, he also wrote a number of short and medium stories, some original and some plagiarized. The publisher simply put them together with previously published short and medium stories to prepare a "Collection of Ryan's Stories".

  Entering the early winter season, London began to experience continuous rainy weather. Ryan didn't see the sun for half a month. Because he beat up several black boys who made trouble for him at school, Nicole was invited by the principal one after another, so , he was sadly grounded.

  Sitting in the room, spinning the colored pencils, suddenly the sound of Nicole and a man arguing came from downstairs. Ryan simply put down the sketch at hand and quietly walked out of the door.

  "Why should you terminate the contract? Also, why should you turn down the invitation from the Royal Shakespeare Company? That is a theater company supported by the royal family." The man's attitude was very bad and he was questioning Nicole.

  The man who spoke was known to Ryan. Nicole's agent... no, it should be the former agent. He heard from Nicole that the contract between the two parties had expired and she was not prepared to renew her contract with him.

  "I have been acting on stage for more than a year. I don't want to continue. I want to return to the big screen." Nicole explained calmly.

  "Return to the big screen?" A mocking smile appeared on the man's lips.

  "That's it, Mr. Henry, don't forget, our contract has expired." With Nicole's cold and arrogant character, of course she would not give him a good look and directly said goodbye.

  "Ha..." the man laughed sarcastically, "I know you have always wanted to go to Hollywood, but you are too naive and really think that there are opportunities everywhere, ah... maybe you can exchange it for your beauty... "

  Whoosh~"

  A colored pencil flew down the stairs.

  "Ouch~"

  The man covered his forehead and screamed.

  Ryan scowled, ran down the stairs, and said sternly, "Next time you are rude to a lady, it won't be a pencil that will be thrown down, but a shot put." "

  Hey! You little brat!" The man rubbed it. He stood up with his forehead splayed, as if he wanted to take action.

  Nicole quickly stood in front of Ryan. No matter what, she would not let anyone hurt the most important person to her. "Henry, please leave, otherwise I will call the police." As the saying goes, it's easy to get together

  and break up, but This man's character was really not that good. Ryan remembered clearly that there were several times that if Nicole hadn't been clever enough, she might have been betrayed by him.

  "Honey, you are too reckless." When they were the only ones left in the living room, Nicole held Ryan in her arms.

  "Nicole, do you want to go to Hollywood now?"

  "That's my dream." Nicole whispered and rubbed Ryan's head, "Why am I telling you this? By the way, Ryan Well, I'm going back to Australia soon, and you're not allowed to get into trouble in London."

  "Back to Australia?" Ryan was confused.

  "A crew invited me to, um..."Over the Horizon"!"

  Hollywood! Back in the room, Ryan wrote this line heavily on the drawing.

  Having experienced the explosion of information in his previous life, he knew very well that that glamorous circle was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface, and that it was a male-dominated circle. Nicole was helpless there and wanted to gain weight. It is very difficult to play a high-level role. Do you want her to fall into the arms of Tom Cruise again? He would never allow this to happen.

  All right! For our common dream, I should be officially prepared!

  Nicole returned to Australia, and Ryan simply asked the nanny to pretend to be Nicole and called to ask for a long leave from school. The next thing to do was very, very important for their future.

  Ryan has been writing novels all this time, and now he is going to start preparing scripts. Due to his career in his previous life, he has read many movie scripts, and he knows a little bit about how to write scripts.

  It's just that when you use books, you will hate them. Although he has amazing talents, he is not arrogant enough to know everything. He began to frequent bookstores and libraries and got back a lot of books about scripts and movies.

  The most important thing is to find a suitable movie, a movie in which he and Nicole can star at the same time, to commemorate this special friendship between the two!

  Movies are deeply affected by the social environment. The most likely failure to bring some classic movies from the past to the present is the Waterloo. Among all movie types, the ones least restricted by the times are undoubtedly horror thrillers and science fiction movies that are divorced from reality. .

  He didn't mind the science fiction movie, but Nicole was already pretty and coquettish. If she entered Hollywood with this type of movie, she would definitely become a vase.

  In fact, Ryan chose a thriller "The Sixth Sense", which was a classic movie released in 1999. It achieved great success at the box office and word of mouth, and also won several Oscar nominations. In particular, the movie blurred the historical background. , reflecting one of the mainstream values ​​since the 1980s - family, affection and communication.

  Moreover, the structure of this movie is strange, with a big trick at the beginning and at the end. This idea has been worn out after entering the new century, but it is a completely new idea in this era.

  Also, the relationship between the little boy and his single mother is similar to the relationship between him and Nicole, both as sister and mother, making it easier for the two of them to relate to each other.

  It is not an easy task for a novice to transform the pictures in his mind into words on the script. He changed the draft several times, even throwing the Harry Potter thing aside. Fortunately, he My talent is indeed outstanding, at least in writing scripts, I am no worse than that fat man who sells video tapes.

  "Scene 1, Scene 1, at night. In a basement with dim lighting.

  Anna walked down the stairs, came to the wine rack, and selected a bottle of red wine..."

  Ryan flipped through the script. After three months, he finally got it. After the first draft was released, he believed that there were not many problems in the description of the scenes and characters, but there were many flaws in the division of shots.

  This was all he could do for the time being, he sighed. In the past three months, Nicole had come back several times, but she didn't realize that what he was writing was a script. Ryan didn't plan to tell her either. Let's wait until he returns to Los Angeles to talk about everything. .

  Although he had the script, the problem was still serious. He was not naive enough to think that if he mailed the script to the film company, the other party would rush over and hug his lap. That was just a fantasy.

  What is the basis of a movie? Many people will probably choose the script. However, except for a few top-level screenwriters, the status of ordinary screenwriters in this industry is far lower than imagined.

  Just in 1988, a writers' strike broke out in Hollywood. After that, the salary was improved, but Ryan knew very well that within a few years, they would be kicked into the dust again.

  As we all know, it is extremely difficult for newcomers to get ahead in Hollywood, especially for new screenwriters. If you don't have connections and middlemen, you want the film company to invest in your script...

  Obviously, Ryan falls into this category, but he also has strategies to deal with it. , that is the script sea tactic. With the experience of writing once, he will be much faster when writing again. If there is no response after pitching a script, then pitch the second, third, or even eight or ten.

  Moreover, he also has a heavyweight stepping stone in his hand-"Jurassic Park"!

  You know, this book has been at the top of the U.S. bestseller list for more than 30 weeks since 1987. If he, a young author, stepped into the forefront, you can imagine the repercussions it would cause.

  Since he chose to use the script as a pathfinder, he naturally did not want to be just an ordinary screenwriter. In any profession in Hollywood, when you stand at the top, you will become a powerful person in the circle.

  Ryan was not satisfied with this. While constantly revising the script of "The Sixth Sense", he also wrote out the outlines and settings of some classic movies in his memory. This was done to prevent forgetting, even though those scenes seemed to be engraved in his memory over the years. It was the same in his mind, but it was always good to be prepared.

  Time came to the early summer of 1989, just when Ryan wanted to make more than ten copies of the script and mail it to major Hollywood film companies, Nicole Kidman, who had been busy working on "Over the Horizon" in Australia, returned to London. At the same time, Also brought her new agent.

  A woman who surprised Ryan!
