Chapter 41: Pizza ads

At the age of eleven, whether two Oscar nominations were unprecedented in history, Ryan didn’t know and didn’t care, but he knew that his own value would definitely increase.

Taking advantage of his rest period, Pai Jinsli quickly negotiated an advertising contract for Pizza Hut’s pizza advertisement. Just shoot two advertisements and get 500,000 US dollars. In Ryan’s view, it is very cost-effective. After all, This will not take long.

Originally, Espry wanted to ask him to endorse children’s clothing, but Ryan’s free time was either given to music or wasted on scripts and creation. There was not so much time to go to the merchant’s platform. If it was just an advertisement, the endorsement would still be forget it.

In order to take his time, the shooting time of the advertisement was specially selected on the weekend. Ryan was sitting in Jinsli's car and was flipping through a stack of documents. These are all the information of the assistant candidates interviewed by the agent lady.

"Ryan, you want one person to serve as your driver, bodyguard, and assistant. This is unrealistic!" Jinsli obviously had a headache.

"Does anyone do the double pay?" Ryan scratched his head, "Well, let's find a driver and bodyguard first, and the assistant will talk about it later. I'm really fed up with those guys."

Since the film academy announced the nomination list, Ryan has enjoyed the treatment of a superstar. The reporters and paparazzi chased him at home and school. There is a lot of "If you can't show evidence that you are not a Martian," you will not let him go. Even many media have turned over his past, analyzing his life and personality one by one, and there is a long series of "How a genius or a monster is made" in the newspapers.

What's more, he also has a beautiful and curious female celebrity sister. They keep in one place, but they can catch two fish in one net. It's a bargain.

The commercial was shot in the Universal Studios studio. During the shooting, he also had a little girl partner. When he saw the little girl introduced by the director, Ryan grinned and said it was a coincidence.

The little girl's face is dotted with freckles, and she has fluffy brown-red curly hair. It is Lindsay Lohan who he has met once.

"The NG guy!"

Ryan beckoned to her, but he didn't expect the response he got was such a sentence.

"Hello, Mr. Jenkins, this is Lindsay's father, Michael Rohan." A middle-aged man walked over. Despite the strong smell of cologne, Ryan still smelled a touch of alcohol.

"Hello, Mr. Rohan." He didn't want to have anything to do with this super-best father, he just said hello and sat aside and read the script.

The advertisement is very simple, far less complicated than those of later generations of Pizza Hut. What Ryan wants to show is the bright smile in "Home Alone", which is too simple for him, oh... and it's pizza.

It's a pity that he didn't have any interest in these foreign fast foods in his past or present life. Even though his stomach had adapted to the Western diet, he still couldn't taste the pizza. As a result, something went wrong in the first trial shot.

The apparently specially processed seafood pizza, at the moment of entrance, Ryan frowned, and the director could only stop.

"Pat, water." Ryan hurriedly spit out the weird-smelling food, took the water glass that Jinsli handed over, and rinsed his mouth twice, which made him feel better.

"What's the matter, Ryan?" Pie? Jinsli asked.

"I have never eaten something so unpalatable, even the food in the orphanage is better than this." Looking at the people around, Ryan said in a low voice.

"Huh! He really is a NG guy." The little girl sitting across the table let out a disdainful snort.

Ryan gave her a fierce look, but he couldn't say anything. After all, it was a loss of grace to care about a five-year-old girl.

Jinsli was a little bit dumbfounded, so she could only give a few words of comfort. Fortunately, Ryan was not someone who didn’t know the importance of it. He pointed to the newly replaced piece of pizza and said, “I’ve never eaten anything like this before. The taste will be so bad, now that I am mentally prepared, it must be no problem."

The next shooting is just like what Ryan said, he rarely has problems again, just a few shots at a time, and the little girl Lindsay is obviously a veteran of advertising, although NG a few times, it is not like ordinary The children are in all kinds of situations.

It’s just that the crew ran into trouble again during lunch. Since it’s an advertisement for Pizza Hut, the lunch can be imagined. Looking at a box of pizzas, Ryan only feels disgusting and has no appetite. This is nothing but KFC. Outside of McDonald's, the food can't be worse.

Fortunately, Universal Studios has not only a studio area, but also a huge play area. Ryan simply greeted the crew and walked towards the restaurant in the play area with Jinsli, but just walked to the entrance of the studio again. Was stopped by the little girl.

"The NG guy." The little girl held her hands on her back and held her head up, "Remember? You owe me a banana boat!"

"Banana boat?" Ryan had forgotten the past.

"Last time, when I was shooting the commercial, you kept NG..." Lindsay's lips were very neat, and she explained what happened that day. Ryan had no choice but to say, "Well, as long as your father agrees, I Take you to a banana boat."

The little girl said a few words with her father, and Michael Lohan nodded quickly. When he came over, he wanted to go with him, but Ryan was evasive.

Please! This kind of person can even curse his daughter for money. Ryan has no doubt that as long as he follows, he will sell what he said and do to the tabloid.

Speaking of it, Lindsay is just a bit too lively and clever now, and can't see how big a personality defect is. But Ryan knows what she will become when she grows up, which is more than Paris Hilton and Buddy. Lanny Spears's Hollywood's No. 1 topic queen, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and self-depravity.

Even the degenerate girl Drew Barrymore, who is now frantically hyped by the media, cannot be compared with her when she grows up.

Of course, she will become what she looks like later, perhaps because of Hollywood’s big dye tank, but it’s more because of her family. Needless to say, his superb father, alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, etc. Little meaning, in the end she finally played herself in jail, and her mother was indeed a little better than her father, but it was only a little bit.

Lindsay Lohan sacrificed her childhood and started shooting commercials since she was three years old. Her income is almost the income of the family. Throughout her childhood and adolescence, what she got from the family was not warmth and care, but violence. drug……

all say that saving young women who missed their feet is a very fun thing, but Ryan understands that unless she is replaced by two responsible guardians, the fall is still inevitable.

After all, not every child is Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst, who can understand what they want in praise and admiration, and continue to work hard for it, nor is every child. It's Drew Barrymore, who has a super director as the godfather, and Sophia Rowland as the godmother, who can stand up again when the drug is down.

In fact, whether Lindsay or other Hollywood child stars, what they need most is a professional agent who can plan and guide their future.

However, how many brokers will give up their immediate interests and pursue things that may not be available in the future?

With the development of the entertainment industry up to now, the importance of a professional agent and behind-the-scenes team is self-evident. Think of Tom Cruise in the past life. If it weren’t for Pie Kingsley, with his blind and arrogant personality. , I have offended all the people in the circle for a long time. After Cruise and Kinsley terminated their contract in 2004, his career quickly fell to the bottom, and eventually he could only eat the roots of "Mission Impossible". Think about it again. Thinking about the successful operation of Yao's team behind Yao Da, this shows the importance of a professional agent team.

"Okay, Ryan Jenkins, because you asked me to eat a banana boat, I won't laugh at you anymore." Sitting opposite Ryan, Lindsay was stuffing ice cream in her mouth, very big The degree of grievance between the two was wiped out.

"Then do I have to say thank you?" Ryan was dealing with a mature steak. Although it was a bit old, it was more appetizing than bloodshot.

"Thank you, no need." The little girl thought for a while, "If you buy me another banana boat, maybe I will praise your superb acting skills in the futureDon't even think about it, Lindsay. "Although it's not cold in Los Angeles, it's now in February, "If you have a bad stomach..."

Ryan stopped, he almost blurted out, "Your father will definitely fall on me" just now, telling a naive girl what to do?

"It's stingy, just two banana boats!" The little girl snorted again.

However, although this girl is young, she is a bit clever, and she is not a good or bad person. She lowered her head and concentrated on dealing with the ice cream.

The two commercials were shot in just two days. Ryan also watched the samples without post-processing. He still retains a bit of innocence and cuteness, but as he grows older, he looks like "Home Alone". Cute and purely funny movies will soon be insulated from him.

Within a few years, he will enter the most embarrassing period of child stars, when the adult role is too young, and the child role is too old, this time will often become a turning point in the fate of Hollywood child stars.

Success in transformation can soar into the sky like Judy Foster, and failure in transformation... Well, this is unlikely for Ryan.

Before returning to the "Terminator 2" crew, he has to participate in a premiere. Since he provided the script, Nicole is the heroine again, Harvey Weinstein also sent an invitation, and now there is no filming task. , It’s not justified not to participate.

After all, communication can only be achieved when there is communication, and contacts are accumulated slowly.
