Rebirth In Hollywood

Today is March 30th. Although five days have passed since Oscar night, when the car they were riding in went out, a few cars and motorcycles were immediately attached to the back. No need to look, Ryan knew it was waiting. The paparazzi outside the villa followed.

Strictly speaking, today's charity dinner has a lot to do with him. It was the orphan topic that exploded two days ago, which prompted the entertainment and media circles to act in unison. Time Warner took the lead in organizing this donation event for orphans across the United States.

As night fell, the two of Ryan arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where the dinner was held.

Like all public charity dinners, there was a short red carpet before entering the hotel, but Ryan and Nicole didn't stop there too much, just let the reporter take a few photos, and the waiter led the way. Next, walked into the grand banquet hall.

This is a super-large banquet hall with hundreds of square feet. It is said that sometimes the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held here. Not only is there a spacious stage, there are also many independent rest rooms on both sides.

Because there were media reports on the scene, the dinner was very formal. Listening to the soothing music played by the band on the stage, Ryan followed the waiter to the table for the two of them. People's status in Hollywood right now.

There are unfamiliar faces everywhere. Even if there are occasional acquaintances, Ryan is just beckoning. The presence of the media makes it a serious public place, not a light-hearted charity party.

"It's kind of boring." Ryan shrugged and could only chat with Nicole.

"Okay, dear, don't look like this, you are a big star now." Nicole smiled, just when she saw Jinsili walk into the banquet hall, she quickly stood up and waved to her.

Ryan looked at the large cameras that had been erected, thinking that he wouldn't do live broadcasts, would he? Is this a charity or a show?

Well, in fact, he knows very well that for the vast majority of people in this circle, charity is just a show. After all, there are very few people like Michael Jackson who really want to help others.

Don't talk about others, just talk about himself and Nicole, he is definitely not the kind of person who sincerely engages in charity, but donating a sum of money to make himself a halo, as long as people with normal brains, will not reject.

"Are your donations ready?" Kinsley asked after she sat down.

The party is not a direct donation, so there is no value for the show, but a charity auction is held after the small performance prepared by the organizer. As for the auction items, you must see the donations of celebrities.

"This is mine." Nicole took out a jewelry box, a pair of emerald earrings.

"The original manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"." Ryan took out a file bag from Nicole's handbag and handed it directly to Jinsley. She could do this kind of thing.

"Ryan, you're so willing." Jinsley's eyes jumped. In her opinion, this manuscript may be inconspicuous now, but as Harry Potter becomes more and more popular, it is bound to become a treasure in the future.

"It doesn't matter. In my conception, there are many Harry Potter books. Besides, I can buy them back." Ryan waved his hand indifferently.

After Kingsley left, Ryan was quickly drawn to the attention of a man at the next table, who, unlike other men's suits and tuxedos, wore a black turtleneck jumper, blue Reeves jeans, and Wearing sports running shoes, on such a formal occasion,

Appears to be different, or rather nondescript.

Especially the round eyes he wore made his image a classic worshipped by countless people in previous lives.

"The future is bound to be the information age. The IT industry will not be depressed all the time. At most two to three years, it will enter a period of rapid development, just like now..."

The Apple founder was giving his missionary speech to the people around him. His drooling and passionate appearance was really impressive. Fortunately, he knew what the occasion was, and kept his voice as low as possible.

"Who is he? Why does he look crazy?" Nicole Kidman asked curiously.

"Steve Jobs! The founder of Apple Computer." Ryan was very interested and listened for a while.

I have to say that although Jobs is arrogant, paranoid, irritable, and has a bad reputation, and the scandal of illegitimate daughters has never ended, he is indeed a very remarkable person. Even if he was kicked out by Apple, he is now in the middle of his life The lowest point, but never discouraged.

"Apple is in the quagmire of losses, Microsoft is tepid, and there is no breakthrough in chip technology from Intel and Texas Instruments. I don't think the IT industry will flourish." The people at the same table obviously disagreed with him and began to refute. .

"No, no, no." Ryan suddenly leaned out and interjected, "I think everyone has used computers? How are computers now compared to ten years ago? And over time, updates in computer technology will only Faster and faster, one day in the future, not too far, at most ten years, computers will become a necessity in our work and life.”

"But now many companies have problems, such as Apple, which is losing money continuously." The man saw that the person who refuted him turned out to be a child, and he was a little surprised, but more of it was malicious.

"It's true, today's Apple is not as good as it used to be." Ryan nodded first, and when the guy showed a smug smile, he said, "Because Apple has a big problem with the technical update, now I'm just eating the old one. Ben, they want to get out of this predicament, which, in my opinion, is very simple."

"Very simple?" The man curled his lips, obviously not taking what a brat said seriously.

"Of course." Ryan looked at Steve Jobs, "As long as Apple invites his founder back, all this will be solved."

As if to cooperate with him, Jobs raised his chin slightly, but Ryan knew that the other party was just a habitual movement.

The man couldn't really argue with a child about this, and after a light snort, he left the table.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs." Ryan didn't lean over, but bowed slightly, "I'm Ryan Jenkins, nice to meet you."

Steve Jobs just nodded at him, and while his words were to his liking, he had no interest in dealing with a teenager.

Although the information he has seen in the past life may not be reliable, it can reflect some of Jobs' character to some extent. Ryan doesn't mind. Even if he is five years older, he will come over to have a relationship with Jobs and talk about the future, but now, come on. Well, who cares about an eleven-year-old.

"I don't like him, he's too arrogant." When Ryan turned around, Nicole glared at the other side without a trace.

"It's true that not many people like him."

Ryan shook his head. If Jobs hadn't offended everyone, how could he be kicked out of the company he founded?

He holds a treasure in his hand! However, now he is losing money, blood is dripping in his heart, and it is said that he has plans to let go.

The dinner officially started soon. Several celebrities said a few words very simply, and the song and dance performance kicked off. Several popular singers sang in succession. Ryan also saw a few familiar faces, such as Whitney Houston, Maria Kelly and Celine Dion.

After a short period of singing and dancing, it was the charity auction, and the host was not a professional auctioneer, but Whoopi Goldenberg.

To be honest, her style is not suitable for hosting such an occasion. Ryan looked at the directors of Time Warner in front of him and wondered if they had water in their heads?

Here, it is difficult to see the high price at the real auction. Even if someone is tit-for-tat, they will only taste it. However, this situation is quickly broken, and the reason is very simple.

"Wow, the item below is absolutely unique in this world." Whoopi Goldenberg's eyes widened, "If I can, can I take it home?"

"Okay, no kidding, the following lot is from Ryan Jenkins, the original manuscript of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

It's really different, especially for people with children at home, their eyes light up.

There was no reserve price for this auction, and soon a sign was erected.

"$20,000!"

But then more signs went up.

"$50,000!"

"100,000!"

"$150,000."

Without thinking, Nicole raised the number plate in her hand, "$200,000!"

No one knows whether it is worth buying a manuscript of a novel that started a hit for $200,000, but not only adults but also minors came to the scene.

The front row belonged to a little girl at the Hilton family table. After a few begging words in her father's ear, she raised the number plate, "$250,000!"

Nicole Kidman, naturally not letting Ryan's manuscript fall into the hands of others, bid again, "$300,000!"

The little girl whispered in her father's ear again, but her father shook his head resolutely, the girl turned her head and gave Nicole a stern look, looking really cute.

The original manuscript of Harry Potter is indeed precious, but it is incomparable in value to the works of art donated by the rich and famous. If Ryan takes out this manuscript in ten or twenty years, it will be in the form of will turn around.

What's more, in the eyes of others, he was only eleven years old, and he was so prolific that there were still many manuscripts in the future.

Similarly, Ryan would not let Nicole's belongings fall into the hands of others, and after some bidding, he pocketed the emerald earrings.

With the two checks sent, their task can be said to be successfully completed, Ryan whispered in Nicole's ear and walked to the bathroom, only to find a little girl waiting by the sink when he came out.
