Chapter 4 Broker

 Kensington is a famous wealthy area in London. The most famous building is Kensington Palace, the residence of Princess Diana. It has just entered the summer of 1989. This palace, which represents the majesty of the royal family, is absolutely For most people, it is a no-brainer.

  About a street away from Kensington Palace is Ryan and Nicole's reading villa. In the living room of the villa, two women and one man were sitting around a small white table, talking about something.

  "What? You want to be my agent?" The person Ryan asked was a white woman in her thirties, with a shrewd and capable look on her face.

  The woman took a closer look at the boy opposite. He was about ten years old. The fitted dark blue dress made him look a little thin. His short, soft light brown hair was glowing with golden light, and his sky-blue eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. From time to time there are flashes of cunning and maturity.

  Ryan was a little confused and looked next to him. The sexy and elegant Nicole Kidman was sitting next to him, staring at him with eyes full of lust.

  She straightened her somewhat scattered golden-red curly hair and then introduced, "Ryan, this is Ms. Pat Kingsley, the agent I signed with some time ago. Pat, this is Ryan Jenkins."

  "Nicole..."

  Ryan stopped talking and quietly held the girl's hand with his small hand. No one saw the strange look that flashed across his face. It seemed to be intentional and unintentional. He asked the female agent how many times he had asked her. sentence, I am 90% sure.

  Well, since he can be reborn, and a certain god sent Nicole Kidman to him and became his guardian, then it is normal for Nicole to meet her manager in her previous life in advance, right?

  Yes, Ryan is very confident. The opposite party, Pie Kingsley, was the manager of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in her previous life. I remember she only signed contracts with Nicole and Tom Cruise in 1990. , now actually appears in London?

  Sure enough, the wings of my little butterfly still deflected the trajectory of some people.

  "You're distracted again." Nicole pinched Ryan's ear gently. The two had lived together for almost three years, and his frequent distraction was the most troublesome thing for her.

  Ryan showed a shy smile. After living in London for two years and receiving strict instruction from etiquette teachers, every move he made showed good etiquette and upbringing.

  "Ryan, actually I came to London with Nicole just for you!" Kingsley's words gradually made the boy understand. He roughly guessed something, but deliberately asked, "Me? Why?

  " Silly didn't answer, but took her handbag and took out three books, one "Jurassic Park", one "Ryan's Stories", and one "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

  It's the three books that Ryan has published!

  By now, if Ryan didn't understand that the other party knew that he was the author of these three books, he would be really stupid. His first reaction was to look at Nicole, but the Australian girl shook her head at him and signaled She didn't leak the news.

  Ryan could only sigh, and after thinking about it, he guessed the reason why Kingsley appeared here.

  Obviously, the other party had his own information channels and certain skills. He knew from somewhere that he was the author of these three books. He also knew that dealing with a child was not an easy task, so he simply used a roundabout way. Using tactics, he found Nicole Kidman, who had the closest relationship with him, and gained her trust, becoming her full-time agent, and then came all the way to London.

  In her previous life, she was able to prosper in Hollywood, and finally brought Tom Cruise to a disgrace. She is indeed a person with vision and skill, and she can find out who is the most suitable person before others pay attention. investment objects.

  Ryan was not surprised at all that Kingsley would come to his door. In his previous life, he had some knowledge of the brokerage industry and knew that many brokers would often take the initiative after discovering a target worthy of investment. And it is normal for him to be targeted by this female agent.

  If nothing else, just look at the three books on the table.

  "Jurassic Park" became the number one bestseller list in the United States as early as 1987. It has occupied this position for more than 30 weeks since then, and has sold millions of copies in the United Kingdom and the United States alone. In the eyes of many people, A top choice children's book.

  Although "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is tepid, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just the beginning of an entire series. Since its release last year, it has unknowingly sold more than 100,000 copies.

  As for "Ryan's Story Collection", it integrates short and medium-sized stories that Ryan has published. Although it has only been published for a few months, it has unknowingly climbed up the best-seller list in the United States.

  The most important thing is that anyone who knows something about the film industry will understand that the stories he wrote are very suitable for being adapted into movies, and the benefits that can be obtained by then can be imagined. What's more, he is only nine years old now, who knows what he will do. Will he become the next Stephen King or Michael Clayton?

  A fat sheep delivered to your door? Ryan pinched his chin and made calculations in his mind.

  "Ryan, do you want to go back to Los Angeles?" Nicole Kidman suddenly asked.

  "Go back to the United States?" Ryan frowned. Even though he had lived in Los Angeles for seven years, it was still a strange city.

  "It's like this. I'm going to Los Angeles to audition for a movie in a few days. How about we go back together?"

  Nicole explained, and Ryan gradually understood. With the release of "Across the Horizon", she must have attracted a lot of attention. attracted the attention of many people.

  "What movie?" Ryan kept thinking in his heart, don't be that one, don't be that one... "

  "Thunder", if you pass the audition, you can cooperate with Tom Cruise!"

  This sentence was no less than a shock to Ryan. Nicole was one of his favorite movie stars in his previous life. No one in the world knew better than him what would happen if she participated in "Thunder".

  She would fall in love with Tom Cruise and get married after the movie was released. Soon after, there would be irreconcilable conflicts, and she would end up being badly injured. During the divorce, the notorious Italian hired by Tom Cruise would take advantage of her, and she would have to I signed the divorce agreement in humiliation.

  Is the habit of the wheel of history so big? It only takes two years to bring Nicole's deviated life path back to the original path? This is definitely not the result he wants to see. After more than two years of relying on each other, he and she have already developed a deep friendship. He will never allow the person he likes and loves deeply to be harmed in any way, not even a little bit. no!

  "Don't you want to go back to Los Angeles?" Nicole was a little strange, that was his hometown.

  "Oh, no, I just suddenly remembered something else." Ryan changed the subject without leaving any trace, looked at the female agent, and asked very directly, "Pat, you are Mr. Cruise's agent. Human?"

  "Of course not."

  Although it was a little strange, Kingsley denied it without any hesitation, "Actually, I only have Nicole in my name."

  Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and Nicole told Hollywood He couldn't be more clear about his yearning. In this case, he would just go back to Los Angeles. He had been preparing for several years, and the plan... let's start it!

  He still doesn't believe it. If he strongly objects, with such a long-term relationship and relationship, he can't compare to a little boy.

  What's more, he will naturally use some means to make Mr. Tom Cruise quit when he is faced with difficulties.

  If you want to enter that Vanity Fair, you need a skilled agent. Ryan quickly reached a verbal agreement with Kingsley. As for the formal contract, it will have to be reviewed by his professional lawyer Mr. Wilson after returning to Los Angeles. , to sign.

  Now that he was leaving London, there would be a series of things to deal with. Ryan visited the tutors who had taught him one by one, especially several masters of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Although they were hired by Nicole with a lot of money, if not Thanks to their careful teaching, it is difficult for Ryan to have the musical literacy he has today. You know, he is now able to compose some not-too-complex pieces, and his piano and guitar are also at a professional level.

  After going to school with Nicole to complete the withdrawal procedures, all that was left was to pack the bags.

  He doesn't have many things. The instruments he usually uses for practice are just ordinary brands. You can buy them again after returning to Los Angeles. The most precious thing is a whole suitcase filled with manuscripts. If you have friends from the past life, If you read it, you will definitely hit your jaw on the floor. Just look at the names on these manuscripts - "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", "The Sixth Sense", "Titans" Nick" and so on.

  Ryan thought for a while and took out the script "The Sixth Sense" and the novel "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". These should be things he can use immediately after returning.

  Of course they are all copies. He would not give the original manuscript to anyone casually. Otherwise, what if it was sold?

  "Ryan, do you need my help?" Pie Kingsley knocked on the door and walked in. What she saw was the suitcase full of manuscripts written with letters, and she couldn't help feeling dizzy.

  "Pat, this is the second episode of Harry Potter. Give it to the "Alien" publisher when you get back. This is "The Sixth Sense", the movie script. You can read it first. If you can, make a few more copies. Let's submit the two manuscripts to major film companies." He handed over the two manuscripts directly. It was difficult for a newcomer in Hollywood to get started, so he just bombed it with a sea of ​​scripts. Now that he has an agent, these errands and chores can be done. Leave it to her.

  "Drama...script?" Kingsley was a little surprised. She quickly read through it, and her eyes became brighter the more she read. She gradually realized that she might have opened up a gold mine, "Leave it to me, actually. I have some relationships with major film companies."

  It turns out that God has treated me well! Ryan twitched the corner of his mouth. It is better to have connections than to throw random shots. We really can't underestimate Pie Kingsley.

  When going out, Kingsley glanced at the suitcase again, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help trembling. Could it be that all of them were manuscripts of this level?
