Rebirth In Hollywood

The white ball flew high and drew a wonderful parabola. Under Ryan's gaze, it fell into the pond in the distance, causing a big splash.

"Damn it!" This is a rare mistake.

"Ryan, your skills..." Roy Disney shook his head.

This Roy Disney is not Walt Disney's younger brother, but his nephew.

"It was just a mistake. I was able to birdie a few years ago." As one of the most basic social skills, Ryan's golf skills make sense.

"Continue?" Ryan saw the other party's face was slightly tired.

"Let's come here today, let's go to the rest area, we're getting older and can't compare to you young people."

Roy Disney motioned for the caddie to put away the clubs and equipment, and sat on the battery car driven by Ryan. The car drove very slowly towards the rest area.

"Ryan, frankly, what are you doing with me?"

"It's nothing, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's just reminiscing. When I made "The Lion King", I got your full support."

Roy Disney has always been the most staunch supporter of Disney's animation department, and because of this, there is an irreconcilable conflict between him and Michael Eisner.

"That's right, after all, it's the whole Disney that makes a profit." Although he waved his hands seemingly indifferently, Roy Disney's face still showed a look of nostalgia. That was the most glorious moment of Disney animation.

"I heard that "Mulan" is about to be completed?"

"Well... I hope this animation can enter the theater." Roy Disney's tone had a touch of helplessness.

Disney's animation department faced financial difficulties, especially the attitude of Michael Eisner, which made their status plummet. Even the elaborate "The Lion King 2" was sent directly to TV stations and the disc market.

"Ryan, why can't you let go of your prejudice. Re-cooperating with us, you brought the most glorious moment of hand-drawn animation..."

"Roy, I think you should know that the prejudice comes from Michael." Before the other party could finish speaking, Ryan interrupted him. He said vaguely, "Disney under his control will never cooperate with me."

Roy Disney was silent.

Ryan didn't say anything. Like Time Warner and other media companies, Walt Disney is no longer the Disney family of Disney. They not only lost their controlling rights, but even their basic right to speak is almost gone.

Like Roy Disney, who is the only Disney family member on the board. Not only was he excluded by Michael Eisner, but he didn't even have much power. If he was not Walt Disney's nephew and needed him to stabilize people's hearts, Michael Eisner would definitely find a way to kick him out.

Of course, Disney's board of directors is definitely not one-sided, and there are also many people who oppose Michael Eisner, especially his acquisition of TV stations. The heavy debt burden on Disney and the decision-making mistakes on Pixar have intensified the voice of opposition.

Roy? Disney is the representative of these people.

but. Even if the other party has a conflict with Michael Eisner, he will not be biased towards outsiders when it comes to Disney's interests.

Ryan knew this well, and he met Yoroy Disney with great fanfare for two purposes.

One, vaguely told Disney's executives. What contradicts him is Michael Eisner himself, not Walt Disney as a whole. In the past few years, Michael Eisner's private actions, although he is not particularly clear, also know a lot.

Secondly, tearing his face is not good for him, nor for Michael Eisner. He wants to use this method to tell the other party that Disney is not monolithic, and that Ryan Jenkins does not have no supporters at the top of Disney.

It is Ryan's consistent attitude to carry out in-depth cooperation on the basis of competition. This kind of dispute involving many interests is not beneficial to anyone.

Of course, if Michael Eisner really used out-of-rule means to deal with him, Ryan would not be polite. The end of the century is coming soon, and a large amount of funds will be returned.

Sending Roy Disney away, Ryan went directly to the bowling alley. Charlize Theron was bowling. It was a coincidence that when they entered the club this morning, they happened to meet the South African Diamond. The two had a brief chat. sentence, and then made an appointment here.

What he didn't expect was that there were two handsome guys standing not far away, one of them was an acquaintance.

"Ryan!" Leonardo DiCaprio has come over.

"Hi, Leon, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to see you here." Ryan clapped his palms with him, then looked at the famous **** man next to him, "This is... "

"Toby, Toby Maguire." Although he was a little shy, he still introduced himself, "Ryan, can I call you that? Thank you."

"Is this your friend?" Charlize Theron appeared right next to Ryan.

"Hello, Miss Theron...you are..." Leonardo looked at Charlize and then at Ryan.

"I'm friends with Charlie, and we asked to play here." Although he could see some of the South African Diamond's thoughts, one Nicole and one Natalie were enough of a headache for him.

Charlize Theron is very smart. She knows how to maintain her position. She shook hands with the two of them, greeted Ryan and the others, walked to the coffee table in the lounge area, and asked the waiter for drinks. .

"Oh, I understand." Leonardo sat down and smiled strangely, "It's a pity, I originally wanted to pursue this beautiful Miss Theron..."

"Leon..." Toby Maguire gently pulled Leonardo.

"It's okay." Ryan waved his hand at will, Leonardo obviously misunderstood something.

However, squinting at Charlize Theron, blond hair and long legs, it is so in line with Xiao Li's aesthetic.

Compared with Leonardo, Toby Maguire next to him is not very conspicuous, Ryan vaguely remembers. When I talked to Ang Lee about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" some time ago, I heard him mention it. This **** man is the male protagonist in his movie.

"Some time ago, I went to a show with Toby, a lingerie show, wow..." As for men, the topic is naturally inseparable from women. Leonardo was very excited when he talked about his favorite things. "The models they use are different from the skinny models at the four major fashion festivals. They are not only tall, but also very hot..."

"Let me think, there must be beautiful women with blonde hair and long legs who accepted your invitation?" Ryan put down the coffee cup in his hand and said with a smile.

"As you said." Leonardo spread his hands.

"Lion is very popular with them. Unlike me..." Toby Maguire shook his head helplessly.

"Because the competition in the modeling industry is more intense than in the entertainment industry, being able to have scandals with Hollywood stars is very beneficial to their careers." Charlize Theron has been a model for a while, and has some feelings, "Ryan, and Leon, I advise you, those girls will sell you ... and sell those details to the gossip newspapers if they are not allowed to look back."

"So. Leon is just having fun." Ryan shook his head.

"If you're interested..." Leonardo realized that it wasn't just men here as soon as he spoke. "Sorry. Charlie, I don't mean anything else."

"Men, especially men in Hollywood..." Charlize Theron's mouth twitched just right.

"There are good men in Hollywood too." Toby Maguire distinguishes weakly.

It's okay to say this to outsiders...

"Leon, did the filming of "Mission Impossible" go well? I heard that there are many blonde beauties in the crew."

Hearing Ryan's words, Leonardo laughed. "In fact, if the audition goes well, I'll be able to work with another blond beauty after 'Dish within a Dish'."

"Oh?" Ryan was a little curious. "May I ask which movie? What character?"

"Shakespeare in Love, um... the male protagonist, that is, the great Shakespeare. As for the female protagonist, you should be familiar with it. If there is no accident, it will be Gwyneth Paltrow." Leonardo slightly explained.

"A movie that Miramax invested in?"

Although I have never seen it in my previous life, the name of this movie is resonant.

"Yes, Harvey Weinstein is the producer and the casting director." Leonardo hesitated, but finally said, "Ryan, I heard that you have a good relationship with Harvey..."

Ryan laughed, forget it, since he stole so many things from him, he should make up for it.

"I'll be on the phone with Harvey, as long as the audition is above par." He made a sign you know.

"That's a big thank you." Leonardo is not the first brother to enter Hollywood, and he understands that favors under the rules will play an important role, "In the evening, I will treat you!"

"Forget it, Leon, I have something to do tonight." Ryan declined his invitation.

"Okay, I'll invite you to the party another day."

After chatting about interesting things in the meeting circle, after Toby Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio said goodbye, Ryan took out his mobile phone and briefly talked about the matter with Harvey Weinstein. In other words, for the powerful investors and producers, this is just a small matter.

The premise is that Leonardo's audition must be above the standard line, and no one will take tens of millions of dollars in investment to make such a joke.

Ryan didn't plan to stay for a long time. When he walked out of the club to break up with Charlize Theron, he suddenly remembered something.

"Charlie, is there a schedule recently?"

"Of course, as long as you need it." Charlize Theron's eyes lit up.

"It's like this, director James Brooks recently approached me and wanted to adapt 'As Good as It Gets' into a movie."

The South African diamond left him with a very good impression, and Ryan reached out to her again in her acting career, and simply gave her a hand, "The movie needs a heroine, you ask Ron to contact Julis to participate in the audition. All right."

"I...I..." Charlize Theron suddenly took a step forward and stared at Ryan with burning eyes, "Thank you, Ryan."

"Don't be so polite, we are good friends." Ryan's words obviously had other meanings. ()
