"There are so many people."

On the terrace of the villa, Taylor stood behind the fence, with royal blue eyes turning around, "Are they all equipped with guns?"

"It must be."

Emma Watson, standing next to him with his chest in his arms, pointed to the few black suits passing by below, "There must be gun holsters under their clothes, absolutely."

"Is that true? Ryan?" Taylor turned his head and looked over.

Sitting on the rattan chair, Ryan stretched and flipped through a collection of novels, while answering, "They all have legal gun licenses, but..."

He raised his head and said seriously, "Alison, don't have the idea of ​​shooting!"

"I'm not interested in those things."

She pulled Emma Watson back, sat next to Ryan, snatched the book in his hand, roughly flipped through it, and threw it back, "You..."

She looked Ryan up and down, "Why are you interested in this kind of book?"

"What book?" Emma Watson asked curiously.

"Nothing..." Ryan casually placed the book on the table, "Anne Prox's novel collection."

"The Anne Prox who won the Pulitzer Prize?" Emma Watson seemed to have read a lot of books and heard the author's name.

"It's her."

Ryan looked at Taylor, the little girl's eyes were turning, not sure what she was thinking.

At this time, a servant walked up to the terrace and came to inform Ryan that the guests had arrived.

"Guest?" Taylor blinked his big eyes, "Charlie is going to Tokyo for an outdoor location, who will come?"

"The business person." Ryan picked up the book and walked towards the stairs.

Taylor pulled Emma Watson, chased after him from behind, and asked tentatively. "Can we... go and have a look?"

Walking to the corner of the stairs, Ryan looked back and Taylor immediately put on a serious look, "We promise. Make two eggs and will never interrupt."

"Yeah~" Another girl also nodded vigorously.

The people who came were some famous playwrights Larry McMurtry and Diana Osana. Recently, they have been selling scripts adapted from Anne Prox's short stories in Hollywood, but because the subject matter is too sensitive, they have been rejected by famous director Gus Van Sant and producer Joel Smeche and others.

Similarly, major film companies also believe that the subject matter is too sensitive and difficult to take over. Several companies that are interested in buying scripts have the highest offer price of only 200,000 US dollars, far lower than the expectations of these two people.

They also found Jenkins Films. When Ryan was dealing with film affairs, he saw the name of the script and immediately contacted the two people.

Ryan did not ask the company to come forward. Instead, he planned to buy the script in his private name and specially invited them to come over.

"Can I read the script first?"

In the reception room, after the servants delivered the coffee, Ryan said to the two people sitting opposite him. "I just read the original work of Ms. Anne Prox."

"Of course." Larry McMurtry took out the not-so-thick script from his bag and handed it over.

After Ryan took it, he signaled the two of them to casually, and then tapped Taylor's little head gently on the tilted head and opened the script.

He watched very quickly, and only when he saw the interactive plot between Jack Drizzt and Ennis Demar, he would slow down a little and compare it with the movie he remembered.

About five minutes later, Ryan closed the script and confirmed that this was the script of "Brokeback Mountain" in his previous life.

"Larry..." Ryan returned the script, "Can you talk about copyright issues?"

"We reached an agreement with Ms. Anne Prox a long time ago." Larry McMurtry put away the script and looked at his companions, and said, "I have completely bought out the copyright."

"I can bid $500,000 to buy your script."

Ryan didn't go around in circles and said directly, "Of course, if it is made into a movie in the future, you will also pay the relevant screenwriter fees."

He thought of this movie a few years ago and once found the original author. Unexpectedly, the other party sold the movie adaptation rights in the 1990s, so he had to give up.

This price is already the highest among all the people who offered the offer. The two of them were obviously a little moved, but Ryan's name was here, so they naturally wanted to fight for more benefits.

“We…we need to think about it.”

Frowning, Ryan didn't say anything more. Of course he could offer a million dollars or even higher, but what's the difference between doing that and doing it is foolish.

"Let's do this. If there is a result or there are other conditions, you can call Ms. Jinsli."

After shaking his head to the little girl, Taylor immediately ran to the filing cabinet aside and took Jinsley's business card. After Ryan handed it to them, he politely said, "I hope you hear good news."

"We also look forward to working with you." The two solemnly put away their business cards and said goodbye.

Ryan is not in a hurry. In this era, there are probably few people or companies who have the courage to take on such movies that are truly and completely gay as the theme. I believe they will make wise choices.

If it weren't for Pi? Kingsley was busy with Nicole's Oscar nomination PR, and Ryan wouldn't have met them in person.

"You really want to make a gay movie?"

When the two left, they left a sample of the script. Taylor took it in his hand and looked around and asked, "Did you think about who to be a director? Judy is transforming into a director, maybe it's good to find her."

"Dear, you care too much." Ryan poured himself a cup of coffee and looked at the two girls who got together.

He frowned and shook his head again, "This kind of movie will only cause a storm when it is made now."

"When will it take until the topic of homosexuality will not cause a storm?" The little girl looked at it very seriously.

"In a few years." Ryan did not notice Taylor's eyes and said casually, "Now there are more and more activities about the Rainbow Flag, and the impact is getting bigger and bigger. I heard that Massachusetts is preparing to agree that homosexual marriage is legal..."

“What about California?”

"I don't know." Ryan shrugged, walked over and took the script back, "Okay, these are not what you should consider at your age."

Although the script has not been obtained at the moment, the other party is obviously tempted, and the rest is just a matter of price. Naturally, someone will start a tug-of-war negotiation with them.

Although there are still a few years left before the right time, Ryan also remembered the directorial problem that Taylor mentioned, and ordinary directors are definitely unwilling to take on such sensitive subjects.

As for the Judy Foster she mentioned, she is definitely not a suitable candidate. Nicole's best friend is an excellent or even great actor, but not a good director. The works directed in her previous life also prove this.

And Ang Lee...

Ryan has rejected the proposal of surprise to invite him to direct "The Hulk". Without this disaster Waterloo, the other party may not be in a trough. It is hard to say whether he will choose such a sensitive subject in the future.

However, after having experienced his past lives, Ryan also knew that the film actually brought great benefits to the director, and even triggered a big discussion about homosexuality around the world.

You can find suitable directors slowly. Hollywood is always short of directors who want to become famous or have a further career.

Besides, the current time period is not suitable. When it appears in a few years, the controversy caused by the movie will not be so great and will be relatively easy for the public to accept.

Maybe it’s good to stay as an alternative? Some people are thinking about being a director.

"Charlotte, I heard you are a millionaire now?"

Back on the terrace, Taylor and Emma Watson sat together to play checkers, muttering, "Do you have any special feelings?"

"The reporter and paparazzi are very annoying." The brown-haired girl grabbed her curly hair and said in a tone of gritting teeth, "Why Ben??"

"Hey, my dear." Ryan looked up from behind the script, "Your thoughts are crazy."

"But those people are bad guys." Taylor turned the chess piece in his hand, "All British entertainment journalists are crazy."

Emma Watson seemed to have a lot of feelings and lit his head hard, "Alison, do you know how those paparazzi treat me? They actually went through my trash can and wanted to find the condom from it to prove..."

The little girl showed her pointed teeth.

Ryan couldn't help but cover her forehead. Emma's parents had already divorced. She lived with her mother. The paparazzi was indeed bored.

"Charlotte, I will definitely take Christine with me when I go to England next time." Taylor waved his fist hard, "let the tomboy beat them all over the floor."

"But..." She suddenly squeezed her eyes and leaned against Emma Watson's ear and muttered.

"Alison!"

Hearing the little girl's rebuke, Ryan couldn't help but look over, and saw Emma Watson's face turned red, glaring at Taylor and saying, "At that time, are you gossiping and bored like those paparazzi."

"Hey, hey, hey, my dear." Taylor's tone sounded like Ryan, "I just asked casually, forget it if I don't, then... you always have a crush, right?"

"ah……"

"I promise not to tell anyone."

"So too." Seeing the two girls turning their eyes, Ryan said without raising his head.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Taylor urged, "We are good friends, it's no big deal to share the secret."

"Okay." Emma Watson nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Do you still remember Tom Felton?"
