Chapter 66: Why not hire someone to take him out? (Please collect and support)

"Richard, I'm sorry, but I'm the producer of 'Dangerous X Game' and I need to be responsible for the entire project. I can't change the plan and give you this role just because I appreciate you. I hope you can understand."

"I understand."

---

"Richard, how did it go?" Anthony asked hurriedly as he got into the car.

"Not so good. Neil Moritz is very stubborn. I tried both soft and hard tactics, but I couldn't get him to change his mind," Richard sighed, rubbing his temples.

"That's okay, we still have another option. The third male lead in 'Deadly High School' is also good," Anthony comforted him.

"Just give up like this?" Richard clenched his fists and said slowly with narrowed eyes, "For this role, I coaxed children, sold misery, and was criticized by that woman. If we just give up like this, wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain?"

"Then what should we do? Do you have any other way?" Anthony asked.

"Find a way to squeeze Ryan out, and I'll have a chance."

"How to squeeze him out? Find someone to take him out?" Anthony joked.

Richard shook his head, "Find someone to watch Ryan and see if there are any problems with him, such as racial discrimination, drug use, cheating, theft, etc. If we find one, we will have a chance."

"What if we can't find it?"

"If we can't find it..."

Richard pondered for a moment, then slowly exhaled, "If we can't find it, forget it, give up this role!"

"Hey, why don't we make up some dirt on him?" Anthony said, squinting his eyes.

"No, the production team knows that I'm eyeing this role. Doing this will anger them and backfire. Besides, if this matter gets out, it will also have a bad influence on me. In the eyes of others, I will become a scheming villain, which is not conducive to long-term development."

"You're right. I'll find someone to keep an eye on him. I really hope he can cause some trouble," Anthony grinned.

"Be careful, don't mess around."

"Got it!"

The car sped towards Manhattan.

"Dad, I want to learn boxing!" Little Jim said in the car, waving his fists.

"What do you want to learn boxing for? Is someone bullying you?" Neil Moritz asked, turning the steering wheel onto the main road.

"No!" Jim said with his head down.

"If you don't tell me, I won't agree."

"Okay, someone is bullying me. Because I'm handsome, girls like to play with me. They are jealous of me, so they often cause trouble for me. Today, they were the ones who started it," Jim pouted.

"I will talk to your teacher about this and make sure that no one will ever bother you again."

"Tsk~ Telling parents and teachers at every turn, is that what a man should do? A man should rely on himself. Only when you become strong are you truly strong," Jim said, clenching his fists.

Neil Moritz looked at him in surprise, "Who told you this?"

"Do I need someone to tell me this? I'm twelve years old, not a child anymore," Jim said seriously.

"Learning boxing is too hard. Why don't you learn taekwondo or Chinese Kung Fu?"

"No, I want to learn boxing. Boxing is the most powerful."

"Okay, I'll sign you up for a boxing training class in a few days and see how many days you can last," Neil Moritz compromised.

"I don't want a training class. I want to learn from Richard. His boxing gym is in Bronx Youth Park, and there are apprentices about my age there," Jim said.

"They only train professional boxers there. It's not suitable for you."

"No, I want to go."

"Jim, be obedient!" Neil Moritz said sternly.

"...Okay, Dad, it's okay if I don't go there, but you have to find me a good coach."

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely find you a good one," Neil Moritz smiled.

"The coach doesn't need to be too good. As long as he can be like Richard and break a tree like that with one punch, I will learn from him," Jim said, pointing to a cedar tree by the road that was thicker than his waist.

"..."

Neil Moritz's mouth twitched. Breaking a tree that thick with one punch, is that a human? That's Superman, okay? Where can I find you a Superman as a coach? You little bastard, you really know how to give your father a hard time.

"Richard can break a tree that thick?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. That tree is on the edge of the parking lot green belt," Jim said confidently.

Neil Moritz also remembered that someone seemed to be tidying up the branches in the green belt just now, but the tree was not as thick as a waist.

"What's the point of practicing so hard in school?"

"Isn't it good to be stronger?" Jim asked back.

"..."

What could Neil Moritz say? He couldn't say anything. He secretly blamed Richard in his heart. This bastard has taught my son bad things, and he still wants to be the leading actor?

No way!

Ring ring~

The phone rang, and the caller ID showed Ryan Phillippe.

"Ryan, what's up?"

---

"Okay, Neil, goodbye!"

In the car, Ryan Phillippe hung up the phone.

"How is it?" Reese Witherspoon asked.

Ryan shook his head and sighed, "Neil said that Richard is more suitable to play Sabas than me, and they are going to replace me."

"What? How could this happen? Call him again and ask."

Reese said nervously.

"...Haha, I'm kidding you. I've worked with Neil before, and we're old acquaintances. How can a small character like Richard compare to me? Don't worry, honey, my role is secure," Ryan said confidently.

"Don't relax too much either. Minnie went to buy food downstairs at the company just now and saw Director Moritz and Richard chatting at McDonald's. They must have been talking about the role."

"Hmph, I knew that kid wouldn't give up. He wanted to get the role through Neil, but he went to the wrong person. Neil is not someone who changes his mind easily," Ryan said with a cold smile as he drove.

Reese nodded slightly. As long as Producer Moritz didn't change his mind, Ryan's role would be fine.

"Ryan, how about we go to the movies?"

When passing by a movie theater, Reese suddenly saw a movie poster with the words "In the Name of Love" on it.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the movies?"

"Look at that poster, Daniel Lewis' new movie. The Golden Globe Award nominations came out a few days ago, and Mr. Lewis was nominated for Best Actor again. Richard also acted in it. Let's go and see how his acting is," Reese said.

"Forget it, there is no news about this person in the newspaper, which means he is just an insignificant small role."

"Come on, let's go and see!"

"Okay, okay!"

The two bought tickets and walked into the cinema together. They watched "In the Name of Love" and also saw Richard's performance in the film.

"Haha, that's it, that's it..."

Ryan laughed a few times, "Honey, are you relieved now? His character only has a few shots, dispensable. A small actor like him still wants to compete with me for the leading actor?"

Reese smiled, "When I saw him before, I felt that the guy was very... how to say it, his eyes are very aggressive, making people feel stressed. Now I'm relieved."

"You, you just like to think wildly. Let's go, let's go to the East City Bar to dance and relax."

"Don't go, spend more time studying the role."

"It's okay, just for one day. We both got the roles today, we should celebrate."

"...Okay!"

Reese got into the car with him.

Beep beep~

Soon, the car disappeared into the traffic.
