Chapter 401 Cambridge City
As early as when he came to Boston to promote "Terminator 2", Ryan wanted to visit Harvard University. Unfortunately, even today, he has not traveled to Harvard as soon as possible after setting foot on the land of Cambridge City. Instead, he went to the villa he bought first, opened the blue Maserati prepared for Natalie, and walked around Cambridge City for a small walk before stopping in front of Harvard's door.
The history of Cambridge City can be traced back to 1630 and was founded by British Puritans who settled in Boston. It is as famous as Cambridge in the UK because it is the location of two world-renowned universities, Harvard University and MIT. It is said that Cambridge City has trained more than 100 of the more than 700 Nobel Prize winners around the world so far.
Putting on a baseball cap and having a pair of sunglasses stuck on the bridge of his nose, Ryan walked into Harvard's campus. Perhaps when he was a child, he was very interested in visiting this world-famous university, but now he has gone directly to the on-campus cafe that he had made an appointment with Natalie.
Because it was class time and there were not many people in the cafe, Ryan ordered a cup of coffee casually, sat in a quiet corner, and patiently waited for the Long Island girl.
Just like in his previous life, Natalie chose clinical psychology, and before entering Harvard, her two papers were published in well-known academic journals. In addition, she won the National Scholar Award, she can be said to have become an alternative among Hollywood stars.
When she first entered Harvard, she caused a small sensation. After all, Queen Amidala did not choose Hollywood after graduating from high school, but chose to continue her studies, which was beyond the expectations of many people.
But this is Harvard, with countless celebrities and rich people. Although there are very few movie stars, the effect brought by Natalie quickly returned to normal.
This can be seen from the free travel of Long Island girls on campus and talking to their classmates around them at will.
After she entered the cafe with the book in her arms, she soon found Ryan's place, walked over and sat opposite her, threw the book on the table, and lay on it regardless of her image.
"You are very leisurely." Her dissatisfaction was overwhelming.
"Hey, Nat." Ryan took off his sunglasses and hat and spread his hands out, "I was out in New Zealand at the time..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Natalie. "Okay, Ryan, it's not the first time you've let me go."
After saying that, she picked up the coffee cup in front of Ryan, took a big sip, stared at him for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"I just want to give you some colors..."
After hearing Natalie say this, Ryan could only spread his hands helplessly, "Then are you satisfied now?"
After wrinkling his nose, Natalie didn't say anything. She quickly put on Ryan's hat and sunglasses, picked up her book again, stood up and waved.
"Let's go. I'll take you to Harvard."
The two walked leisurely on campus at an appropriate distance, and some of the people they met would occasionally look at attention. Natalie was a Harvard celebrity after all, and although Ryan dressed up, it would not be difficult to recognize him if he looked closely.
Ryan didn't care much, like news about him and Natalie's secret relationship. It was widely publicized by many gossip tabloids since a few years ago, but they couldn't even take out a decent picture. As the number of hypes was too frequent, no one believed it.
Natalie obviously didn't want people to see the relationship between her and Ryan, and always kept a distance between friends. In addition to introducing famous buildings such as the Harvard Library to Ryan, she rarely spoke.
"Don't you take me to visit your dormitory?" Ryan asked after roughly turning around.
"I made an agreement with my roommate that I could not take my male companion back without the other party's consent." Perhaps a little tired, Natalie stuffed the book she was holding to Ryan. "Didn't you buy a villa outside? Let's go to your place."
"You're so stingy, Nat." Ryan could only take the lead in walking outside the school.
"Do you want to be intimate with me in a dormitory?" Natalie couldn't see Ryan's thoughts, "Don't even think about it."
"Will you just lock the door?" Ryan murmured in a low voice.
"Don't forget, I have a roommate, and Emily has a big mouth." Natalie's evaluation of her roommate was not very high. "I'll take you back. If she sees her, it will definitely spread throughout Radcliffe College tomorrow, and we will be on the front page!"
"Okay, okay."
Ryan raised his hand. He was just curious about the girls' dormitory. "Let's go back to the villa."
When he arrived at the parking lot outside the school, Natalie watched Ryan open the door of the blue sports car for herself, looked at her curiously, and then sat in.
"Limited edition?" After Ryan started the car, she said strangely, "Aren't you not interested in the car?"
"For you." Ryan is indeed not very interested in luxury cars and other things. "This is not a limited edition. I just went to the manufacturer to customize it, and it is unique."
"Then I'm not polite." Natalie suddenly remembered some things that Ryan mentioned on the phone some time ago and asked, "Did you also order a yacht and a plane?"
"The yacht order has been placed, and the plane has not yet decided to choose Boeing or Airbus."
As early as after this year's Oscars, Ryan asked Pai Jinsley to place orders for two yachts of about 450 feet from the Bentsway Group.
"I'll help you with the order if you need it." Ryan glanced at Natalie, and the girl in Long Island rolled her eyes and said, "I'm still a student, Ryan."
"Okay, then wait for you to graduate."
Although the villa is in the suburbs of Cambridge City, it is not too far from Harvard. About ten minutes later, the car drove into the villa's garage. In addition to this sports car, there was also a white mini parked in the garage.
"You can drive this car normally." Ryan pointed to the mini and said as he got off the car.
"When did you become careful?" Natalie walked around the mini and walked out of the garage first.
Although this is a small villa, the courtyard is positive and large, especially the back of the wall is full of tall evergreen trees, which blocks the view outside.
After entering the villa, Natalie realized that the decoration inside was arranged completely according to her habits. Although she knew that it was simple to do this with Ryan's financial resources, she was full of sweetness.
What else can you be happier than the people you value as well?
"Are you satisfied, dear Nat?"
Ryan held up her face and gently kissed her white forehead. Natalie tiptoed, her soft lips touched his, and then a long and deep kiss seemed to answer with this silent action.
"Key!" After the two separated, Natalie stretched out her hand without hesitation and stuffed the key Ryan handed over into her bag, "Ryan, don't you mind taking my classmates to hold a carnival party here in the future, right?"
"As long as you are happy." If Natalie is happy, Ryan won't care if she smashed the house. "I hired a special housekeeping company, and they will send someone to clean every three days."
After taking Natalie around the villa room, the two went straight into the master bedroom. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. As long as a couple has a substantial relationship, there is only one way to express their longing for each other and vent their long-term enthusiasm.
"All of them regard me as a good card."
After the room was completely quiet, Natalie lay beside Ryan, telling her experience in college life during this period, "Those male classmates all thought I was the traditional good girl and would not refuse people..."
"So you use mean words to make those people feel ashamed?" Ryan picked up her long hair and put it on her nose and sniffed it gently. Natalie glared at him and snatched her hair back, "Do you want them to pester me? Or do you want me to be chased away by others?"
"This shows that my Nat is very charming." Ryan kissed her tall nose.
"Come on, Ryan, when it comes to charm, there are a few more people who can compare to you." Natalie seemed to remember something else, "I met Paris when I returned to New York some time ago, and she always kept you in my mouth."
"I promise, Nat." Ryan said with extraordinary certainty, "Paris and I are just the most ordinary friends."
Natalie curled her lips without comment, remembered the trailer she had watched some time ago, and asked, "Ryan, is "The Pianist" colder than the original novel?"
"I watched the trailer yesterday," she added.
"So," Ryan nodded, "Although it tells the same history, the style of this movie is completely different from "Schindler's List."
After Ryan made the decision, Jenkins Film accelerated the release of the film and quickly released the trailer, with dark tones and cold breaths becoming the focus of discussion among many media.
Especially in the trailer, there is a scene similar to "Schindler's List". The Nazi officer shot Jews with a pistol, but the gun had no bullets. The Jews on the ground just showed hope. The Nazi officer had calmly changed the magazine and shot him to death without any luck.
“This time the publicity seems to be much worse than before.”
In Natalie's impression, the early promotion of Ryan's past movies can be described as overwhelming.
"Excessive investment will only cause more losses." Even Ryan himself dared not say that he could recover his investment in movies in North America.
The style and type of the movie have determined that this is not a popular movie. Even if the starring actor is him, it is impossible to easily win about 3,000 theaters like commercial movies. Although Paramount Pictures, which is currently in charge of the distribution, is still negotiating and fighting for it, Ryan estimates that it would be great to have 500 theaters in the first week.
Maybe it will become his first movie to lose money.
