After September, the shooting progress far exceeded expectations, and the film was no longer far from the mirror seal. The reason why the crew was so smooth was that in addition to precise preliminary planning, the huge budget finalized from the beginning played a crucial role.

To put it bluntly, many problems are actually money issues. As long as there is sufficient financial support, most of the difficulties will be solved.

Ryan once again bid farewell to Rosario's set and returned to Los Angeles because the University of Southern California Film School is about to start.

“Why do you need to apply for a dormitory for me?”

Looking at the little luggage he had sorted out, Ryan stood in the middle of the living room and asked Nicole Kidman. Because he had been busy shooting, most of the matters he had before school were left to Nicole and Jinslie to handle.

"It's about an hour's drive from Southern California to Beverly Hills, and it's longer when you encounter traffic jams. If you have classes all day, do you have to go home at noon? Don't talk about finding a house or renting a hotel suite there, what is the security in that area like, I believe you've heard of it."

If Nicole wants to persist, she can find ten thousand reasons, "That's just a temporary rest place. You should know that the dormitory at the University of Southern California has always been very nervous. In order to find you a suitable rest place, Pat asked George for help."

The George she mentioned was naturally George Lucas.

"I remember there should be a cafe and a restaurant on campus..." Seeing Nicole insisting, Ryan closed his mouth, looked at the time, and finally asked, "Are you sure you won't go with me?"

"Come on, Ryan." Nicole rolled her eyes, "You're going to the University of Southern California, not St. John's Elementary School."

USC is located in the heart of Los Angeles. As Nicole said, it is a distance from Beverly Hills, and the surrounding areas such as Raymond and Normandy are very poor, and shootings occur from time to time, especially for international students from overseas. The day and night here are two different worlds.

Walking on the campus of USC, Ryan rarely feels like enjoying the scenery. Although some people keep watching, and people who don’t know will suddenly say hello, there is no incident of chasing and interception. This may be related to USC’s No. 1 Film Art Academy, which ranks No. 1 in the United States?

After a brief inquiry, Ryan and George soon found the location of the Film Academy, a very independent campus building complex.

It is completely different from other buildings in Southern California. The entrance of the Film Academy is a Latin-style dome and column, with a slope-style roof with a quaint Mexican charm, highlighting the solemnity and thickness of the building. Most of the buildings behind the door are earthy yellow walls. The brown slope roof and the courtyard are full of towering palm trees.

When Ryan entered it, the first thing he saw was Douglas Van Punk's full-body statue. He held a sword in his right hand and a movie script with his left hand, as if showing the dynamic and passion of his creation.

In fact, the University of Southern California School of Film and the School of Film Arts and Sciences has always maintained a close connection. The latter is a strong backing for the former, and the former continues to deliver fresh blood to Hollywood and the film and television industry across the United States every year.

Ryan chose the film and television production major, which is the strongest major in the college and is definitely ranked first among similar majors in the United States.

It was probably related to George Lucas' greetings in advance. Ryan quickly completed the procedures, received the course schedule and lesson instructions, and took a short walk in the Film Academy. After getting familiar with the environment, he went back to the car with George to pick up the luggage and went to the already arranged dormitory building.

"Why do I feel like a relationship?" Ryan muttered to George. The bodyguard but smiled without saying a word.

OK! When I get richer in the future, I will learn from George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg, and I will give the Film Academy a huge donation and let them build a building called Ryan Jenkins.

Unfortunately, the Lucas Building and the Spielberg Building will not be seen until the new century.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Ryan came to the dormitory on the third floor with random thoughts.

"It's here, Mr. Jenkins."

The housekeeper opened the door and gave Ryan the corresponding key, "This is a two-person apartment, and you are the only one to move in at present, and the other person must be around."

"Thank you, Mr. Lun, just call me Ryan." Ryan shook hands with him again and sent him out.

This is a very ordinary American apartment dormitory. Except for two bedrooms, there are many living room, toilet and small storage room. The layout is quite neat. Although it is incomparable to home, it is enough to be used as a temporary resting place.

After choosing a bedroom, Ryan quickly put the items he received and brought. Although he had a tendency to be overly spoiled by Nicole in the past few years, he still degenerated into a waste of life.

Walking onto the balcony of the bedroom, Ryan nodded in admiration. In front of the apartment building was a pool of clear water, on the right was the Nanjia Library, on the left was the college's lawn, and in the distance there was a lush palm forest. The environment was quite good. Except for the higher charges in the dormitory, there were not many shortcomings.

Not long after, a knock on the door sounded, and then a conversation between George and another person came. Ryan guessed that it was his roommate who had arrived, so he immediately walked from the bedroom to the living room.

"Hello, am I Ryan? Jenkins." Ryan politely stretched out a hand.

This was a dark brown-haired man less than six feet, who should look like he was eighteen or nineteen years old. He looked at Ryan and scratched his head again, seemingly disbelief.

"I...you...oh God! I didn't expect that I would live in the same dormitory as Ryan Jenkins." He sighed and quickly grabbed Ryan's hand, "Darren Bowsman, from Kansas."

"Ryan... Can I call you that? Wow, that's great." He asked again, "Are you studying at the Film Academy? What major?"

"Film production." Ryan made a gesture to him to sit, "Sit, Darren."

"I'm also a major in film and television production." Darren Bowsman was quite excited.

"Do you need my help?" Ryan pointed to his luggage on the floor. The guy scratched his head, "No, I can do it myself. I'll clean it up first. Will you discuss it later?"

Ryan made a gesture of asking for advice, found out the course schedule and lesson instructions he received and read them.

The Film Academy does not have purely theoretical courses, and almost all the courses are combined with practice. Teachers and professors have rich practical experience, especially the comprehensive production courses that Ryan focused on. He pays more attention to practice. After the initial course, every semester, he needs to use a small camera to shoot a short story for about five minutes as homework.

The filming person should personally participate in all the processes from writing scripts to finding actors to editing and production. All the links are solved by learning, doing and asking. If you have never been exposed to this industry before, you will definitely suffer a lot in the early stage.

This major trains producers who control the overall situation. Not only do students need to be familiar with Hollywood-style production methods, but they also need to have enough ability to participate.

Of course, these are not a problem for Ryan. The many sets he has been to and the many directors and producers he has met are unique among the same age group.

"I have been interested in photography since I was a child, and it is my ideal to be a director." Darren Bowsman quickly walked out of the room. After chatting for a few words, he saw Ryan's gentle attitude and gradually relaxed. "My biggest ideal is to become a director of a horror film."

"Horror movie?" Ryan was a little surprised.

"Yes!" Darren Bowsman sat on the sofa and said with certainty, "Ryan, I really like "Scream" and I really like the bloody feeling in the movie. It's so wonderful."

Ryan discovered that this is a heavy taste lover.

"Ryan, maybe we can cooperate in the future..." The more he said, the more he said, the more he became more irrelevant.

"Come on, Darren, it will take four years for us to graduate." Ryan finally interrupted the crazy words that seemed to be an idealist.

Students who graduated from the Film Academy of Southern California do have advantages over those born in Noriko. But if you really want to play a movie, it not only requires ability, but also enough opportunities.

This age group was when he was most energetic. Ryan entered the apartment building and did not dress up. Soon the news that he appeared here spread. People from several nearby apartment dormitories came to say hello, and Ryan also generously met these people one by one. Social communication is also a compulsory course in college.

"Hello, Ryan, I am Chen Jiazheng, from China." What Ryan didn't expect was that one of them was an international student from the Far East.

Looking at the other party's yellow skin, dark hair, dark eyes, and the remaining Chinese accent, Ryan could only sigh that he had been missing for a long time.

"A few years ago, I had been to Hong Kong because of publicity, and it was impressive." Ryan said casually after asking him to sit down.

"I read it in domestic entertainment magazines at that time. Is it promoting "Jurassic Park" right?"

Hearing the other party say this, Ryan nodded, "That's right, it was in 1993, and I went there..."

I really couldn't remember how to translate it, so he had to change to a Chinese that was a bit cluttered, "Luohu Port should be this name."

"You know how to speak Chinese?" Chen Jiazheng was a little surprised. Although Ryan's words were a little stiff, they were more standard than the Chinese pronunciations he saw in the United States.

"I learned it before, and I have always been interested in Eastern culture, such as Chinese cuisine." Ryan shook his head again, "Originally, I wanted to go there to see it, but unfortunately it was too late for China to introduce "Real Lies" and "Jurassic Park".

"Actually, it was only after I watched these two movies that I decided to study here." Chen Jiazheng is an international student at the Film Academy. "I really don't know if I don't watch it. It turns out that Chinese movies have been abandoned so far by the world."

He has been here for a while, so he naturally knows the great reputation of the young man opposite in Hollywood.
