Chapter Eighty-One: A Charitable Invitation

  Ryan remembered very clearly that the previous "Instinct" was released in early '92, and now it's already the end of '91, yet they still haven't started filming. What's going on? Is his own little butterfly wings getting stronger and stronger?

  The script handed over by Jin Silie was just a few fragments, with more than ten scenes, including the passionate scene of the heroine Catherine.

  He glanced at Nicole Kidman, the Australian girl sitting next to him, who was helplessly rolling her eyes. As for Ryan, she really had no good way to deal with him - discipline him and she couldn't bear it, not discipline him and he became more and more unmanageable.

  He handed over the script, and Ryan didn't say much. He knew that Nicole had her own pride and judgment, although his suggestions would be particularly valued due to their deep affection for each other. However, Ryan did not want to intervene too much on the surface, after all, sometimes conflicts were accumulated little by little.

  Besides, even if she really wants to take on this script, he has a way to secretly sabotage it.

  Nikki read the opening few paragraphs and showed a bit of interest, the setting of the heroine in the script was indeed unique, but after reading on, her brow furrowed, it was clear that this play needed to be revised.

  This is not the time of her previous life, Nicole Kidman used to dare to take on any artistic film in order to get rid of the image of Mrs. Cruz, now she is a first-line actress known for her acting skills and beauty, there is no need to use this provocative way to attract attention, let alone if she really plays this role, how will Ryan look at her?

  Others may not be aware of it, but Ryan has a natural aversion to certain shots in movies.

  Without much consideration, Nicole handed back the thin script to Goldie, "Push it, Paulette."

  Ryan smiled, although in his previous life he liked Nicole Kidman and her sultry movies were inseparable, but in this life she was the closest person to him, and he didn't want her to go down the old path of her previous life.

  Even if I have to expose myself, it can only be to... Ruien pinched her own leg hard and stopped her wild thoughts.

  Next is about Ryan, facing various invitations, he said without thinking, "Just decline them all, I'm very busy."

  These were either inexplicable advertisements or movie crews he had never heard of, including a B-movie that made his mouth twitch. Was the entire investment in the film enough for his own salary?

  "And here's this!" Jin Silie handed over two very formal invitations.

  "This is..." Ryan hesitated for a moment, still took it over, and after just one glance, handed it to Nicole Kidman, who was her idol.

  …………

  On Christmas Eve, the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel was ablaze with lights, thousands of people and hundreds of journalists gathered at the hotel entrance, a long security team stretched out hundreds of meters away, the guards at the hotel entrance tripled their manpower, each one solemn as if facing a great enemy.

  Even at the Oscars, it's not like that. Even if George H.W. Bush came, he wouldn't get such treatment.

  Even with British staff working on persuading them, they couldn't let their guard down for a moment.

  The crowd at the hotel entrance held up the same portrait and shouted out the same name to show their respect for the person in the portrait.

  "It's easy to meet the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with his minions!" Ryan muttered in Chinese, but was immediately knocked on the head by Nicole.

  He hastily adjusted his tie and glanced at himself in the mirror as he walked across the hall, his well-fitted black suit, black leather shoes, and black tie made him look like a standard English gentleman, if only he had a cane in hand.

  Under the guidance of the attendant, when Ryan walked into the grand banquet hall entrance, he saw the center of attention in the room at a glance. It was an exquisitely made-up woman with fair skin, deep facial features, golden hair and green eyes, tall and statuesque, the standard beauty in Westerners' eyes.

  But in Ryan's eyes, she was a bit rough and not refined enough, but undeniable, her temperament was outstanding, plus a title, looked noble and beautiful.

  Ryan could feel Nicole's eyes shining, and he couldn't help but slightly shake his head. In his past life, he was a die-hard fan, but when he met her and Natalie, apart from slight surprise, he didn't make any out-of-place expressions. Now seeing Nicole like this, he gently pulled her hand and brought her in front of the woman.

  "May God bless you, Your Highness!" Ryan merely bowed slightly, after all he wasn't a Brit, so he wouldn't go as far as to kneel.

  Nikki originally intended to curtsy, but was pulled up by him without leaving any trace, and could only bow slightly, but her eyes coldly swept over Rynn's body.

  "Don't be polite." The woman was elegant in her demeanor, with every frown and smile exuding a noble quality. "Hello, Miss Kidman and Mr. Jenkins."

  "Your Highness, you can just call me Nicole, and him too." Nicole glanced at Ryeon, "You can call him Ryeon."

  "Nicole, you're really beautiful." After exchanging a few pleasantries with Nicole, she turned to Ryan, "I've long heard that Hollywood has produced a super genius, Ryan, your work is the favorite of William and Harry."

  "It's my honor, Your Highness." Ryan could only bow again, somewhat helplessly.

  "Don't be so polite, this isn't England." Diana, the Princess of Wales, sighed and her eyes dimmed for a moment before returning to normal. "Thanks for coming."

  "This is what should be done, children with leukemia need care from everyone in society." said Nicole, Ryan rolled his eyes.

  Diana was in Los Angeles on a private visit to host the charity gala, which raised funds for a leukemia research institution. With her stature and drawing power, she easily gathered a large group of wealthy individuals and celebrities.

  "Noble, elegant and beautiful, she is simply an angel incarnate." Nicole was still in awe after returning to her seat.

  "Noble and elegant I admit, as for beauty..." Ryan lowered his voice and leaned in close to her ear, "Honestly, Nicole, you're actually much prettier than she is."

  "Ryan, watch your manners." Nicole pushed him back and gave him a stern look.

  Ryan shook his head and looked at the princess surrounded by stars, feeling a little sentimental. In his previous life, he would never have believed that he would see her in person one day.

  Calculating the time, she and the British royal family should have had irreconcilable contradictions, soon to formally separate from Charles, and then this English rose will run for charity, finally withering in Paris.

  In her previous life, opinions about her were always polarized. Those who liked her would have liked to lift her up to the sky, while those who didn't like her said she was a woman with a quirky personality and full of schemes, but it can't be denied that she gained recognition from the vast majority of people in the world.

  Like many celebrities, her private life is extremely messy. As for who cheated on whom between her and Charles, only the parties involved would know. Moreover, her taste in men isn't great either - each one she's found after the split has been worse than the last, especially the current one, who will soon betray her and tarnish the reputation of the Princess of Wales.

  The story of the prince and princess is ultimately just a fairy tale, Diana was not a Cinderella who married into a wealthy family, she had a prominent family background, her father was Earl Spencer, an old Scottish aristocrat.

  She has one thing that is worth affirming by everyone, constantly running for charity, perhaps with some showmanship, but having personally walked through minefields and kissed AIDS-infected children, and going to Africa multiple times, is indeed more outstanding than what most people in this world do.

  Moreover, nobody is perfect, everyone has a bright side in front of others and a dark side behind.

  She was indeed a respectable person, her death made countless people sigh, and also made countless people rich. Until Ryan's rebirth, the cause of her death was still debated, was it a car accident? Or the hand of the British royal family? Or the instruction of Freemasonry?

  Ryan had seen many big events and hadn't changed because of his presence, presumably this thing would still happen, however, he didn't plan to do anything, politics was the darkest and dirtiest thing in this world, he didn't want to get involved, MI6 and British SAS, neither of which he could afford to offend.

  Besides, if the rumor is true, then standing behind the conspiracy is a super giant - Prince Philip.

  "Ryan! Ryan!" Nicole saw that Ryan's eyes were fixed on something and knew he was spacing out, so she lightly pinched his ear.

  "Ah~" Ryan smiled and said, "Sorry, I was distracted."

  Charity gala is like a movie premiere, similar content, Diana said a few words, several singers sang, and then... it's auction.

  To attend this kind of banquet, one naturally has to be prepared to scatter money. Ray and Nicole casually donated some items they had on hand, then bought them back with money, which counted as completing today's task.

  It was just unexpected that Diana walked over between the seats, expressing her gratitude, and her target was him.

  "Ryan, I'm going to visit some leukemia kids at the hospital tomorrow. Want to come with me?" Her smile was impossible to resist.

  "It's my honor, Your Highness."

  In this case, can he refuse the invitation? However, he was still a little curious why the other party would choose him. "Your Highness, why me?"

  Although he has gained a considerable reputation, he doesn't think he can make the Princess of Wales bow down to him. There are eight or more stars in the audience who have more weight than him.

  "There's no one more suitable than you." Diana explained a little, "Who else would be more welcome to children than the author of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley stories?"

  On the way back, Nicole looked envious. If she were given a chance to pay $1 million for this opportunity, the Australian girl would not hesitate at all.

  Just Ryan was a bit puzzled, doing charity? He really wasn't good at it, in his previous life, he was the object of charity, and after getting the Oscar statuette, for the sake of fame, he just let Jin Silie donate money, but personally practicing, never had before.

  He glanced at Nicole beside him, who was staring blankly at the small gift returned by the princess, and deliberately sighed, "The noble princess may not necessarily be happy!"

  ...after 0 points, there is still one more~~ thank you everyone for your support, seeking recommendations~ seeking collections...... As for the matter of the leg-spreading woman, that was just to find a producer for the company, and there are too few producers who have an impression. Can't go find Annie Hed or Catherine Kennedy, right?... I'm a person with a sense of propriety, won't make a big fuss about women
