Chapter 1: Orphanage in North Hollywood

"I'm sorry, Lu Ming, I don't want to be like this. If we continue to be together, my father..." The long-haired girl let go of the hand she had held for ten years, walked away without looking back, and finally disappeared. .

  "An Xin~"

  The young man named Lu Ming murmured and opened another can of beer. Several months had passed, and whenever he thought of the scene of the breakup, he still couldn't help but feel a sting in his heart. After all, Ten years of love!

  In fact, he knew that this scene would happen sooner or later, but he always had illusions, but reality still burst the bubble of illusions.

  He was an orphan who grew up on the street and in an orphanage. After graduating from junior high school, he became a film projectionist through self-study. After ten years of hard work, she became a well-known music producer, and their status became further and further apart. , one only knows how to be ignorant and addicted to movies, and the other is famous for making money, breaking up is normal, isn't it?

  People who grew up in coldness and loneliness have lost their only hope and can only rely on alcohol to numb their nerves.

  After drinking another beer, Lu Ming suddenly felt breathless and weak. He couldn't help but think of the alcohol allergy that he hadn't had in many years. The last attack almost killed him!

  Is it coming to an end? His eyelids could no longer be raised, but his heart was full of regret. I am also a marginalized person in the entertainment industry, why don't I know how to work hard? If you could become a big and dazzling star, would all of this still happen?

  ...

  "Wow~"

  The clear cry of the baby sounded. Lu Ming opened his eyes and discovered the devastating fact. He had become a baby, an abandoned baby lying alone at the door of the orphanage!

  Could it be... could he be reborn? Back when he was abandoned? Then wouldn't he be able to flex his muscles and start all over again?

  As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt dizzy and immediately realized that something was wrong. The baby's brain could not support him to think about too many problems and was now starved of oxygen.

  Damn it! Will he die just after rebirth? Before he lost consciousness, he saw an old white woman picking him up.

  A certain power in the sky made a small joke. Although he became an abandoned child born in 1980 for the second time, the location was changed from the ancient country in the east to Northon, North Hollywood, Los Angeles. Welfare home.

  According to the cursive English carved on the necklace around his neck, he has a new name - Ryan Jenkins!

  Have I turned into a brat? This is the reality that Lu Ming or Ryan must accept.

  The life in the orphanage was cold and boring. There was always a desire in Ryan's heart, which prompted him to learn all the knowledge he could come into contact with. Thanks to his extraordinary language talent and the careful teaching of the old dean, at the age of four, he I can already speak, speak, read and write English fluently.

  Staying in the orphanage was not a long-term solution, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to immerse himself in studying and reading as much as possible. Unconsciously, he read the books in the library several times.

  This year, in order to obtain more funding, the orphanage organized children over the age of four to participate in the Hollywood Halloween Parade. Only then did Ryan discover that the famous Hollywood was just south of the orphanage.

  The moment he stepped onto the Avenue of Stars, the classic movies he had watched and the English songs he had listened to in his previous life immediately flashed into Ryan's mind, as clear as if they were engraved in his memory.

  The parade made him extremely clear-headed. As time went by, Ryan discovered that his body was much stronger than his peers, his thinking was extremely clear, he was particularly sensitive to music and rhythm, and he also had an extraordinary ability to construct pictures and words. .

  Although he didn't know if he had any talent for acting, he was acting from the moment he opened his eyes, first acting as a baby, then as a child, and in the future he will also act as a teenager and a young man. Even if some people think he is a little weird, But no one has ever doubted it, and acting has become his instinct.

  Could it be that God heard my last wish before my death and wanted me to go to Hollywood? Ryan understood what he wanted in his heart - to become a dazzling superstar!

  That's okay, maybe I can see some of my favorite celebrities from my past life and become friends with them?

  Although Ryan knows that Hollywood is the vanity fair of reality, not the theater of dreams, he still sets unattainable goals for himself. Since he has been reborn, he must realize some of his delusions from his previous life, right?

  With goals in mind, Ryan became more active in his studies, learning painting and music with students from the art academy who were volunteers, and learning Chinese and Cantonese with Chinese staff - always looking for an excuse to learn Chinese.

  In short, he studied everything related to art, and tried to describe the pictures in his mind with words. He practiced this repeatedly for two years, and gradually formed his own style and characteristics.

  Dean Katie had noticed Ryan a long time ago and always thought he was the smartest child in the orphanage. But strangely, no one was willing to adopt him because they all thought his personality was too withdrawn and eccentric.

  Ryan also felt that many of the people who adopted orphans were millionaires or even multi-millionaires. He also fantasized about becoming a member of the family in the future, but some things seemed to be doomed at the moment of rebirth. Until he was six years old, he still Live here.

  Dean Katie is Ryan's only reader. Perhaps because she is Jewish and Ryan has some Jewish characteristics, she only showed a bit of surprise at first, but gradually became accustomed to the existence of a gifted child.

  She collected all the works that Ryan had used to practice writing, selected the most outstanding science fiction stories, and mailed them to an old friend in the magazine. To her surprise, these novels were published.

  When Ryan saw the magazine handed over by the old dean, he understood that the hard work over the past few years was not in vain, so let's start for the future!

  In addition to his regular exercise and study time, Ryan focused on writing, or plagiarism. He began to adapt some famous children's movies into novellas or short stories.

  Novels and movies are different carriers. It took a lot of effort to change the movie into a text that can capture creativity and not have a negative impact on the future, but it did not cause him too much trouble. Under Dean Katie's guidance With his help, novels and short stories including "Home Alone" and "Toy Story" were successfully published. Ryan also received a royalties, and the old dean even specially applied for a bank account for him.

  These did not satisfy Ryan. He needed a heavyweight stepping stone to knock on the door of Hollywood if the future was not going well. He set his sights on a work with huge influence - "Jurassic Park" "!

  He had never read the original novel of "Jurassic Park" and could only adapt it based on the content of the movie. In order to fit his six-year-old age and identity, the first protagonist was placed on the little boy instead of Dr. Grant.

  Although there were movies as a reference, in order to cover up the public's eyes, Ryan asked Dean Katie for help and collected a lot of information on dinosaurs and cloning. The novel of less than 250,000 words took nearly four months to revise repeatedly. Finish.

  Whether it was the beginning of writing or the final publication, the old dean was a great help. This Jewish woman has amazing social connections.

  By the early winter of 1986, after a few months of tepid popularity, the novel entered the top ten bestseller lists in the United States, bringing Ryan a large sum of royalties.

  At the same time, Dean Katie retired due to physical reasons. The new dean was a black woman named Macy. Ryan was keenly aware that her eyes when looking at the orphans were full of disgust and greed.

  After this fat, pig-like dean took office, the living standard of the orphanage plummeted. Not having enough to eat gradually became the norm, and behaviors such as beatings, scoldings, and insults became commonplace. She even took advantage of the loopholes in the adoption system to have sex with others. Some adoption middlemen took over and started an 'adoption' business, turning the orphans into humanoid goods.

  After reading a reply letter from "Alien" magazine, the black dean set his sights on Ryan. Especially after using his guardian authority to search for his account, he was stunned by the string of zeros in it.

  Such a large amount of money actually belongs to a child. What is this if not a godsend to her?

  Things were not as simple as she thought. Before Dean Katie left, she realized that the money might cause trouble. She specially entrusted her old friend to find a reliable lawyer for Ryan, hoping to avoid disturbing the public. It is almost impossible to obtain this money without a lawyer. The best way is to obtain Ryan's absolute trust and support.

  It's a pity that she doesn't understand that there is a soul in Ryan's body that is only as intelligent as hers, but not less intelligent than hers. Her methods of pleasing, tempting, and deceiving are like a circus clown in his eyes. Ridiculous, but Ryan's age and body that does not match his intelligence determine that he has no actual ability to resist.

  Starvation, scolding, cursing and even beating may frighten other children, but Ryan has never been afraid. In his previous life, he experienced harsher tests than this as a child, and he survived even the most difficult ones.

  Dean Black Pig simply locked him in a secluded room and asked two black helpers to take turns monitoring him. As long as he did not surrender, he would not be free.

  Time slipped into 1987, and Ryan turned seven for the second time. His sky was already shrouded in dark clouds, and he began to look for opportunities. Waiting and being manipulated was not the fate he wanted, although in the past seven years, The number of times he has left the orphanage can be counted on one hand, but he still wants to break out of this cage. Only the vast sky outside can withstand his soaring wings.

  With continuous efforts, he finally removed the door shaft that locked the sky. He took advantage of the black helper's opportunity to go to the bathroom and escaped from the orphanage.

  When the morning light falling in the sky came into his eyes, Ryan's body trembled slightly, and he understood how precious freedom is to human beings. ;
