Chapter 53 Interview 1
With the audience's warm applause, the spotlights on the ceiling suddenly turned on, illuminating the small stage in the slightest. A young woman with medium and short blonde hair and wearing a professional dress walked up from behind the stage.
"Welcome to the NBC TV live broadcast of "Face-to-face" program, I am the host Kate Brady!"
After another burst of warm applause from the audience, Kate Brady continued, "I think everyone has watched the Oscars held last month and the news reports in the past few days. You should know what is the hottest topic in the entire Los Angeles and the entire entertainment industry now?"
The audience in the audience had already realized something at this time. After all, the newspaper had been bombing for several days, and even if they hadn't read it, they had heard others mention it.
"Yes, at the end of last month, there was a super genius who oralized a movie script on the spot, and then spent half an hour creating a song! Well, let's invite our guest tonight, Ryan Jenkins, an eleven-year-old boy from Los Angeles, to invite the Martians to land on Earth!"
The audience was startled and then laughed loudly while even more enthusiastic applause rang out. The continuous bombardment of the media made them full of curiosity about the boy.
With the band's passionate accompaniment, Ryan walked out from behind the stage slowly and waved to the stage. He was wearing canvas shoes, light blue jeans, long-sleeved sweatshirt, and a baseball cap on his back. While highlighting his personal temperament, he also looked extremely friendly.
"Please sit, Mr. Martian!" Kate Brady teased again.
"Come on, Kate, if you want to say that, I really want to leave Earth and return to Mars!"
After sitting on the sofa, Ryan waved his hand in dissatisfaction, which caused the audience below to burst into laughter.
"Okay, Ryan." Kate Brady sat opposite the boy, and it seemed that he was really going to face to face. "How is it like to get the Oscar Little Golden Man for the first time?"
"Why isn't the Little Golden Man from pure gold? Just kidding." Ryan looked right, "I'm very excited. You know, before the Oscar, some media have been questioning me. This Little Golden Man is the acknowledgement and affirmation of me by the Academy!"
"I don't think anyone will question you anymore, right? Otherwise, they will be as embarrassed as Mr. Cruise." Kate said with a smile.
Ryan just shrugged but said nothing. He didn't want to leave an aggressive image to the public.
Kate obviously didn't want to let him go, so he continued to ask, "I think everyone has watched that video or report, and must be very curious. In less than three hours, you can dictate a script. How did you do it?"
"I admit that this script was indeed inspired by the Fox TV program that night, but many of the plots were actually commonly used in movies. I just changed the way to put them into my own ideas." Ryan said a few simple words, which was quite convincing.
"What about the song? We all know that you can write novels and scripts, but you never show your musical talent."
"In fact, I started learning music when I was in the welfare home. At that time, students from the art school came to volunteer. I learned music scores, guitars, and violins from them. Speaking of which, some of the others were learned from them at the beginning."
"Including writing and drawing storytelling drafts?" Kate asked.
“Sketching is indeed, and it is also about literacy and reading.”
"I heard that you can read fluently when you were four years old, is that true?"
"That's right." Ryan nodded, showing a hint of embarrassment. "At the age of four, I could read most newspapers and magazines fluently, although I couldn't understand the specific meaning of some words. The ability to write these works has a lot to do with the large amount of reading when I was a child."
"We all know that you wrote "Jurassic Park" at the age of six. Even though this book is considered a young book, it is undeniable that it has achieved great success. What inspired you at that time?"
"I have read a lot of books between the ages of four and six. The Welfare House has a small library, and I have read all the books in it, such as "War and Peace", "Anna Kalinina", "The Earl of Monte Cristo", "Three Musketeers", etc."
Just as the audience below opened their mouths in shock, Ryan suddenly changed his words, "That's impossible! In fact, I have seen all the works of Mr. Stephen King and Mr. Asimov, as well as Mr. Tolkien's masterpieces, and sometimes I read too much and always like to imagine some pictures. Everyone should know that it is very interesting to imitate yourself into the fantasy world. Until I was six years old, I suddenly felt that why can't I turn the picture of myself into words?"
Ryan pursed his lips and continued, "I read a magazine about dinosaurs and cloning technology. Although I don't know much about cloning yet, I was fantasizing about why I couldn't move these prehistoric monsters to the modern era?"
These words are both true and false. He knows very well that when anyone reads too many books and animations when he was a child, he always fantasizes about putting himself in it. Not many people will question this statement.
Kate showed an expression of agreement. Obviously she had fantasies when she was a child, "Have you always had so many inspirations? You have written "Jurassic Park" from the age of six to now, only the novel has written "Jurassic Park", three Harry Potters, and a collection of stories. In terms of the movie, there are scripts such as "The Sixth Sense", "Home Imperial" and "Sleeping in Seattle". Oh, God, you are so productive."
"Actually, how do you say it!" Ryan's face showed a look of embarrassment, "People close to me, my family and friends often say that I like to be whimsical and say that my thinking is too jumpy. When I was a child, Nicole once thought I had paranoia..."
Ryan suddenly covered his mouth, as if he had accidentally missed it.
The audience below laughed kindly.
"Okay, Ryan." Kate's words suddenly became sharp. She took out a copy of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". "Some people criticized that your works became more and more adult and began to lose the childlikeness of their previous works. Do you have any opinions on these?"
"People are always growing up!" Ryan shrugged playfully, "In fact, those works full of childlike fun were completed by me before I was ten years old."
"Will your creations affect your studies so frequently?"
"All my grades are A." Ryan said with great confidence.
"But all the teachers who have been interviewed have reported that you never listen to lectures in class!" Kate looked aggressive.
"Yes, I've never denied this." Ryan spread his hands. "I'll read all the textbooks on the first day of buying them. Maybe some people think I'm a little arrogant, but I still want to say that this knowledge is too simple for me."
"I don't think anyone will doubt your wisdom, right?" Kate gave him a small compliment, Ryan was unmoved.
She pointed to the audience in the audience again, most of them were teenagers, "I think the audience is most concerned about Harry Potter."
"Did you have any idea about a whole series?"
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, there should be seven episodes in the whole series."
"Wow~" A burst of surprise was sent on the scene, this was exclusive news.
Kate suddenly laughed and took out a newspaper from under the chair, "This is the latest issue of the Daily Mail, I think it's no stranger to you, right?"
"Nicole had subscribed in those two years in London." Ryan took it casually.
"The Harry Potter series has become more and more influential, not only in the United States but also in the United Kingdom. This newspaper claims that this series is British literature. The reason why you have such a concept is because you have lived in London for two years and received British enlightenment education." Kate looked at Ryan.
"I admit that it would be impossible to write such novels without those two years of life in London, but it has nothing to do with British education, my performance at London school..." Ryan made a gesture you understand.
"So what do you think of the British media calling it British literature?"
"This..." Ryan scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.
After all, this is real British literature, but he absolutely cannot admit that he has lived in Los Angeles and London in this life, so it is unclear where the United States, Britain and the people have never dealt with it. Especially between the media, they always open map cannons. If he doesn't answer well, it will cause trouble.
"I think literature has no borders, right?" Ryan could only give an ambiguous answer.
Perhaps Jinsli said hello in advance, or perhaps because he has an advantage in age, Kate did not continue to make things difficult for him in this regard, and turned to the movie.
“Are there any shooting plans this year?”
"I only ended the filming of "Terminator 2" in March, and I won't take on a film appointment for the time being." Ryan shook his head.
"It is said that James Cameron was a tyrant on the set. Is that true? Has he scolded you?"
"Of course, when filming, James would transform into a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus, which was even more terrifying than the other end in Jurassic Park. He scolded people like a storm. When he was in New Mexico, there were several times when I wanted to go to the desert to dig a hole and bury myself?"
"Why?" Not only Kate, but also the audience in the audience showed a curious look.
"Because under his scolding, I felt completely useless and ashamed."
After Ryan finished speaking, a burst of laughter broke out at the scene.
"Then will you cooperate with him in the future?"
"It is undeniable that James is a very amazing director. After the release of "Terminator 2", everyone will be shocked. Of course, I will continue to work with him, but I will definitely not be in the form of an actor."
