Chapter Thirty-Nine: Fried Eggs with Scallions

  The next day, there was still a shooting task, and under the eyes of the tyrannical director, the party didn't last too long, dispersing around 10 o'clock. Watching the sister and brother holding hands as they left, Carter Eisner's gaze flickered back to the trailer.

  This is the accommodation specially prepared by the crew for visitors, and he is also a middle to high-level executive of Disney. The crew did not treat him unfairly and provided him with a separate luxury trailer residence.

  After a simple wash, leaning against the headboard, Carter Eschner thought of that scene at the bonfire party again. Strictly speaking, he was an outsider to music, but even so, he could see that Ryan Jenkins had extremely high musical attainments. The two songs were so melodious that even he, an amateur, could hear it.

  Yes, his voice is still childish, but boys and girls are different. After they pass through the mutation period, their voices will change significantly. Moreover, he can also compose lyrics and music by himself!

  What else can you do, Carter Eissen? He wanted to ask the boy overnight, he kept surprising people, constantly hitting people's nerves, was it blessed by God or had been hugged by Satan?

  It's no wonder he's so particular, Disney has not only film subsidiaries but also record subsidiaries!

  Hollywood Records, officially established on January 1 last year, is still a rookie in the pop music industry. The few singers they signed are also unknown, although they are currently collaborating with Disney TV to revive Mickey Mouse Club, only God knows if this unreliable plan can succeed.

  No doubt the record company wanted to make a breakthrough, they needed a heavyweight figure, in his eyes, Ryan Jenkins was very suitable, he could compose and write lyrics, although his singing skills were not enough, but he performed both styles of songs with ease, besides, after "Home Alone", he never doubted his talent!

  He even suspected that the boy's talent and ability in art far exceeded everyone's expectations, he could see that at the party, Nicole Kidman and Pai Qinxi had not a hint of surprise, it was clear that they had already shown all this in their daily lives.

  Of course, he may have overestimated his opponent's musical talent, but if things were as he imagined, the benefits are obvious.

  It is known that the position of a trial stone executive cannot satisfy him, he wants to enter the high level of the group company like his uncle Michael Eisner, seeking greater development, and now it is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

  ……

  New Mexico is much warmer than California, and even in January, there's no chill. After finishing a series of long shots, Ryan walked enthusiastically to a table with a large pile of weapons, from AK series to M series automatic rifles, nothing was missing.

  What caught his eye the most was still that Gatling gun, which wasn't a prop but the real deal. Unfortunately, it had no bullets and due to his age, the prop master guarded it with his life, not even letting him touch it.

  "Hey Stu, you're too uptight, I was just looking, there aren't even any bullets in it!" Ryan complained.

  "Ryan, James has already said it, real firearms are strictly off-limits to you, don't you want the production team to be sued by the Children's Association?" The prop master blocked his way directly.

  "Alright."

  Ryan could only shrug, although the US is a country with rampant gun ownership and frequent school shootings, there are strict regulations on minors accessing firearms. Privately, it's one thing, but in public, that's big trouble.

  He walked up to the prop gun, picked up an M9 pistol, and with a flourish reminiscent of TV shows, spun around in a rather debonair manner, causing Nicole, who was walking by from the other side, to burst out laughing.

  "Ryan, you're interested in firearms?" Nicole asked.

  "It's all right, after all every boy has a gun dream!" He picked up an old-fashioned Colt again, "Nico, do you want to try it?"

  "Never mind." Nicole looked at Cameron who was still fuming and felt a bit sentimental, "Is James usually like this?"

  "It's worse than this." Ryan made a ferocious face, "He usually trains people like this, don't worry, every time he trains me, I'll find ways to get it back."

  Carter Eisner and Paige Kinsley were talking as they walked over, stopping their little argument when they saw Ryan and Nicole.

  "Ryan, were those two songs you wrote last night? Don't get me wrong, I just want to confirm." Carter rubbed his nose, seeming a bit embarrassed by his abrupt question.

  "It was me who created it, but you should be able to tell, the one at the back can only count as half a song." Ryan acknowledged straightforwardly, otherwise where would she go to find the author of that song, seemingly still a little loli.

  "That's great!" Carter slapped his palm, "Ryan, I'd like to ask, has your system learned any knowledge about music? I see you have a lot of insights on guitar."

  "When I was in the orphanage, I learned to play the guitar and violin with students from the art academy." Upon hearing Ryan's words, Carter felt a slight disappointment, but the boy's next words lifted his spirits again. "In London for two years, Nicole had arranged for me to have several private music tutors, some of whom were masters from the London Philharmonic Orchestra. I also studied with other people from the orchestra for a while, but after returning to Los Angeles, I've been practicing on my own."

  "Besides guitar, can you play other instruments?" Carter had a spirit of breaking the pot and asking to the bottom.

  "The piano and violin are decent, but the others can only be said to be passable." Ryan gradually gained insight, thinking that these people's sense of smell was too keen. In fact, he also understood that the unfinished one at the back could be let go, but "because.of.you" was indeed very attractive.

  Strictly speaking, this song is not something a kid can come up with, but the memories of his orphanage days are always ready to be pulled out and used as a tiger skin, let alone he explicitly said that this song is dedicated to Nicole.

  Besides, since those unscrupulous media have portrayed him as a monster, then let's show them an even bigger monster. Could it be that the federal government would really arrest him and take him to the National Academy of Sciences for dissection? If so, Einstein must have been dissected countless times back then.

  Alright, can't be certain if I'll be sliced up after death, but since I'm dead anyway, who cares about the flood!

  "Ryan, you're spacing out." Nicole lightly pinched his ear.

  "Sorry." Ryan looked at Carter who had just finished speaking. "Can you repeat that? I zoned out."

  "It's okay." Carter wasn't surprised, after all, it wasn't the first time he'd encountered this situation. "Ryan, do you like music? Have you ever thought about releasing an album? Disney has a Hollywood record company under its umbrella. If possible, when we get back to LA, can you go check it out?"

  "This." Ryan scratched his head and looked at Nicole again, who gave him a "think for yourself" look, so he had to temporarily shirk off the topic, "You should know that I haven't hit puberty yet, so I don't have such plans for now."

  "That's not a problem." Carter waved his hand. "We'll provide some necessary guidance during the voice change period, you should know that if you're not careful, you can hurt your vocal cords during this time."

  "Let's talk about it when I get back to LA, anyway I'm busy right now." Ryan thought for a moment and neither agreed nor refused.

  "Alright." Carter glanced at the busy film set, he also knew it was impossible to let the boy make a decision immediately, or James Cameron would definitely fire him on the spot. "Ryan, if you want to develop in music, please consider us first, okay? Although Hollywood Records is just starting out and can't compare with the Big Five record companies, we have our own advantages."

  "This is no problem, after all we cooperated very happily in Little Ghost Home". Ryan saw his assistant walking towards him and understood that he would have his shot soon. "I'm going to shoot now, Nicole, I want to eat your bacon fried eggs at noon."

  Carter Eisner let out a breath, although he didn't get a response from the other party, but he didn't refuse which is good news, it means he really has a good impression of Disney. Now Hollywood is all eyeing his work and acting skills, not many people know about this aspect, I'm considered to have gotten the upper hand.

  But so many people heard his singing last night, who knows if it will spread out, he must hurry up.

  Looks like I'll have to go see that tyrannical uncle again when I get back.

  The filming on set was still in full swing, Nicole borrowed the crew's kitchen and personally made bacon and scrambled eggs. Standing on the other side, Jin Silie didn't know what to say for a while.

  All because of Ryan's one sentence, Nicole drove to a not-so-nearby town to buy special bacon and mountain chicken eggs that the boy loved to eat. Originally, she had advised her to just use the food provided by the crew, but who knew that Nicole Kidman would be speechless with just one sentence?

  "I need the freshest bacon and eggs, Ryan doesn't like to eat olive oil, Pat, didn't you see that he has lost a lot of weight, it must be that the food on set doesn't agree with him."

  My god! Pai? Jin Silie really wanted to cover her forehead, Rui En was indeed darker, but where did he lose weight, obviously more robust than the last time they came.

  "After being with the two for so long, they should be able to communicate effectively as friends. Jin Silie looked at busy Nicole and decided to remind this clever Australian woman, "Nicole, don't you think you're spoiling Ryan too much? This is not good for his growth..."

  "Peter, I know what you're worried about." Nicole smiled slightly but didn't stop her hands from working. "We've been doing this for years and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Look at Ryan, he's growing up healthy both mentally and physically, isn't he?"

  Thank you SAMA for the reward, it's been a week since I started publishing the book, I'm so touched~~
