Chapter 4 Agent

  Kensington is a famous wealthy area in London, and the most famous building is Kensington Palace, the residence of Princess Diana. However, it's only just entered the summer of 1989, and this palace that represents the majesty of the royal family is off-limits to the general public.

  About a street away from Kensington Palace, it was Rye and Nicole's independent small villa. In the living room of the villa, two women and one man sat around a white small table, talking about something.

  "What? You want to be my agent?" Ryan asked. The object of his question was a white woman in her thirties, with a sharp and capable face.

  The woman took a close look at the boy opposite her, about ten years old. His well-fitted deep blue suit made him look a bit frail, his soft light brown short hair had a golden sheen, and his sky-blue eyes shone brightly like stars in the sky, occasionally flashing with cunning and mature luster.

  Ryan looked around dazedly and found himself sitting next to the stunning Nicole Kidman, who was staring into his eyes with a look of adoration.

  She smoothed out her slightly disheveled golden red curls before speaking, "Ryen, this is Ms. Paige Goldsley, my agent I signed with recently, Paige, this is Ryen Jenkins."

  "Nick..."

  Ryan wanted to speak but stopped, his small hand secretly grasped the woman's hand, and the strange expression that flashed on his face was not seen by anyone. It seemed intentional yet unintentional. He asked the female broker a few questions and had 90% confidence in his mind.

  Okay, since he can reincarnate, a certain god sent Nicole Kidman to his side and became her guardian. So it's normal for Nicole to meet her agent from her previous life ahead of time, right?

  That's right, Ryan has a lot of confidence. The agent opposite him is Paige Parsons, who was the former agent of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. She signed with Nicole and Tom in 1990 and now appears in London?

  As expected, this little butterfly's wings have indeed altered some people's trajectory.

  "You're spacing out again." Nicole gently pinched Ryan's ear, they've been living together for almost three years now, and his frequent zoning out was one of the most frustrating things about him.

  Ryan flashed a shy smile, having lived in London for two years and undergone strict etiquette training from his teacher, every move he made showed good manners and upbringing.

  "Rye, actually I followed Nicole to London just for you!" Kinsley's words made the boy gradually enlightened, he roughly guessed something, but intentionally asked, "Me? Why?"

  Jin Silie didn't answer, took out her own handbag, and pulled out three books from inside: "Jurassic Park", "The Ryan Stories", and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

  It's Ryan who has published three books on the market!

  By now, Ryan would be a fool if he didn't realize that the other person knew he was the author of these three books. His first reaction was to look at Nicole, but the Australian girl shook her head, indicating that she wasn't the one who leaked the information.

  Ryan could only sigh, turning his thoughts over in his mind, and roughly guessed the reason why Jin Silie appeared here.

  It's clear that the other party had their own channels and a certain level of skill, somehow finding out that he was the author of these three books, and knowing it wasn't easy to deal with a child, so they used roundabout tactics, found Nicole Kidman, who was closest to him, gained her trust, became her agent, and came all the way to London.

  In her past life, she was able to make a name for herself in Hollywood and even managed to get the better of Tom Cruise, truly a person with vision and ability, able to discover who would be the most suitable investment object before others had even noticed.

  It didn't strike Ryan as strange at all that Jin Silie would take the initiative to come to him, as in his past life he had some understanding of the brokerage industry and knew that many brokers would often take the initiative when they found a target worth investing in, and it was only natural that he would be targeted by this female broker.

  No need to say more, just take a look at those three books on the table.

  "Jurassic Park" became a bestseller in the United States in 1987, occupying the top position for over thirty weeks, and selling millions of copies in both England and America, making it one of the most popular children's books.

  "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", although not very popular at first, anyone with discerning eyes can see that this is just the beginning of a whole series. Since its release last year, sales have quietly exceeded 100,000 copies.

  As for "The Ryan Stories", it integrates the short stories published by Ryan, and although it has only been published for a few months, it has unknowingly climbed to the top of the US bestseller list.

  What's most important is that anyone with some knowledge of the film industry will understand that the stories he writes are very suitable for adaptation into films, and the potential gains can be imagined. Moreover, he is only nine years old now, who knows whether he will become the next Stephen King or Michael Crichton?

  A fat sheep delivered right to his doorstep? Ryan pinched his chin, thinking deeply.

  "Ryan, want to go back to LA?" Nicole Kidman asked suddenly.

  "Back to America?" Ryan furrowed his brow, even though he had lived in Los Angeles for seven years, it was still a strange city.

  "It's like this, I have a movie audition in Los Angeles in a few days, why don't we go back together?"

  Nikki explained, and Ryan gradually understood. With the release of "Horizon Chase", she must have attracted a lot of attention.

  "What movie?" Ryan's inner voice kept repeating, please don't be that one, please don't be that one...

  " 'Top Gun: Maverick', if I pass the screen test, I can work with Tom Cruise!"

  This sentence was no less than a thunderbolt to Ryan, Niki was one of his favorite movie stars in his previous life, what would happen if he participated in "The Thunderbolt", no one knew better than him.

  She fell in love with Ah Tong and got married after the movie was released, but soon produced irreconcilable contradictions. She was badly hurt and divorced, and at the time of divorce, she was forced to sign a humiliating divorce agreement by that notorious Italian man hired by Ah Tong.

  Is the inertia of history's wheel so great? In just two years, will it pull Nicole back onto her original life path? This is absolutely not what he wants to see. After more than two years of dependence on each other, a deep bond has formed between them. He would never allow the person he likes and loves deeply to be hurt in any way, no matter how small!

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

  "Oh, no, just suddenly thought of something else." Ryan seamlessly shifted the topic, looking at the female agent and asking directly, "Patty, are you Mr. Cruz's agent?"

  "Of course not."

  Although it was a bit strange, Jin Silie did not hesitate to deny it, "Actually, there is only one person under my name, Nicky."

  Ryan let out a sigh, Nicole's longing for Hollywood was clearer than ever, so be it, back to Los Angeles then, preparations that had been made for years, the plan... set in motion!

  He didn't believe it anymore. If he strongly opposed it, relying on such a long period of emotions and relationships was not as good as a young idol.

  Besides, with or without intention, he will naturally use some means to make Mr. Tom Cruise know difficulty and retreat.

  To enter that arena of fame and fortune, a super agent was necessary. Ryan quickly came to a verbal agreement with Silvia Gilmartin, but the formal contract would have to wait until they returned to Los Angeles and his lawyer, Mr. Wilson, had reviewed it before signing.

  Since he was leaving London, Ryan went to visit his former tutors, especially the masters from the London Philharmonic Orchestra, who were hired by Nicole at a high price. Without their careful guidance, it would have been difficult for Ryan to develop his current musical talent. He can now compose some not-too-complex pieces and has professional-level skills in piano and guitar.

  After handling the withdrawal procedures with Nicole at school, all that's left is packing luggage.

  He didn't have much stuff, and the instrument he used for practice was just an ordinary brand that could be repurchased in Los Angeles. The most valuable thing was a whole suitcase full of manuscripts. If his past life's friends saw it, they would definitely drop their jaws to 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", "Titanic" and so on.

  Ryan thought for a moment and took out the scripts "The Sixth Sense" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which should be useful as soon as he got back.

  Of course they are all copies, he won't casually give out the original draft, otherwise what if it gets sold?

  "Ryan, need any help?" Paige Kinley knocked on the door and walked in, only to see a suitcase full of manuscripts covered with letters, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy.

  "Pat, this is the second set of Harry Potter, take it back and give it to the publisher of Alien, this is The Sixth Sense, a movie script, you can take a look first, if possible, make a few more copies and send them to major film companies." He handed over two manuscripts directly, new people in Hollywood find it hard to get ahead, so he might as well use scripts to launch a blitz, now that he has an agent, these errands can be left to her.

  "Script... script?" Jin Silie was slightly surprised, she quickly flipped through it, the more she read, the brighter her eyes became, and gradually realized that she might have discovered a gold mine. "Let me handle it, actually I have some connections with major film companies."

  It turns out that heaven still hasn't treated me badly after all! Ryan's mouth twitched, having a relationship is much better than random hookups, can't underestimate Paige's golden ratio.

  When she left, Jin Silie took another glance at the suitcase, and her mouth twitched uncontrollably. Could it be that all the manuscripts inside were of this level?
