Before we knew it, the new millennium has arrived, and some celebrations are being held all over the world, and the towns on Lanai Island are no exception. Although there are not three thousand residents on the island, they still set up bonfires on the cliff coast to welcome the first dawn of the New Year.

Ryan also joined in, but he had neither concern nor joy about the arrival of the new millennium, nor was he happy about the arrival of the new year, and if Nicole was not interested, he would rather hide in the villa and sleep peacefully.

The new year has arrived, which means he has been in this world for twenty years. Nicole is one year older, and some things need to be solved urgently.

Although age has never been a problem for him and Nicole, Ryan made up his mind that after he won the Oscar, he would no longer have those concerns, and he would be in trouble at that time.

A few days after the New Year, Ryan took Nicole to Pearl Harbor on Oahu. Spielberg and Michael Bay's crew set up a temporary set here, and the crew started the filming not long after.

Pearl Harbor is located at the lowest point of the plain between the Cola Mountains and the Waianai Mountains on the southern shore of Oahu. It is adjacent to the only deep-water port, Honolulu. It is a base and shipbuilding base of the U.S. Navy and one of the largest and best safe mooring ports in the North Pacific islands. Ordinary civilian ships and foreign ships are not allowed to enter without the special license of the U.S. Navy.

"The crew received full support from the Navy, and they also opened the Arizona Memorial to the film crew for the first time."

After seeing Spielberg, several people gave a few simple greetings. The old Jewish man acted as their temporary tour guide and took Ryan and Nicole to visit the area open to the crew. "The Texas government loaned us the USS Texas battleship. Its exterior can be used to film the attacks of the USS Tennessee, Oklahoma and West Virginia battleships, and the interior can also act as the cabin of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier."

"The current production budget has increased to $140 million." Spielberg seemed to be under great pressure. "The post-promotion fee is at least $60,000 to $70 million. Ryan, the film is preparing for a new round of financing. Don't you plan to invest?"

Sure enough, putting down the camera, Stephen Spielberg was a standard businessman. Ryan sighed a little and said, "Stephen, if possible, try to control the cost."

"This is not like Ryan, who has invested in "Titanic." Spielberg didn't take it much.

Randall Wallace had written this script long ago. At the earliest, Disney planned to buy it for $2 million, but was rejected because he did not have any dividends. He later went to several film companies. The general content of the script is not a secret for major Hollywood producers.

Ryan saw a copy of Randall Wallace submitted to Jenkins Films. The main line of the story is like a previous life, and the bloody love triangle almost overwhelms the scenes of the war.

Although he made suggestions to Spielberg several times, the three DreamWorks are now ambitious and will inevitably become the eighth largest producer in Hollywood. Ryan cannot tell them directly. This movie will definitely fail. Not only will it not be good, but the relationship with Spielberg will also take a sharp turn for the worse.

The three of them soon arrived on the set, and Michael Bay was filming some explosive scenes, which was his specialty.

However, the special effects department just used the method of burning sanitary balls to create several rolling black smoke, but was interfered by some people. Some guys in uniform even started arguing with Michael Bey behind the camera.

"Who are they?" Nicole saw that Spielberg was also worried and asked curiously.

"The supervisor of the National Environmental Protection Agency." Spielberg was also helpless. Environmentalists and other things were the most troublesome. "They have to supervise the filming of the video throughout the process. Such a quarrel has happened several times."

Ryan shook his head, and without saying anything, he patted Spielberg's arm sympathetically.

The troubles of the crew after entering the environmental protection organization were deeply felt when filming "The Rest of the Desert Island", he was still a non-governmental organization in Fiji at that time, but now it has been replaced by an official organization in the United States, which is enough for DreamWorks to have a headache.

With the intervention of the supervisors of the Environmental Protection Bureau, the crew could only temporarily stop shooting and then negotiate in order to come up with a plan that both parties could accept. The actors also got out of the nervous shooting state and seized the time to rest.

"Hi, Ryan."

The tall Ben Affleck saw him and walked over. The two sides had already cooperated on "The World's Doomsday" and often participated in Oscars. They were both acquaintances. "Long time no see, come here to visit the set?"

He looked at Spielberg, who was the producer in the crew who could let Ryan come here for a special trip.

"I'll come to Hawaii for vacation, come and have a look." Ryan suddenly remembered his good friend and joked, "Where is Matt? Haven't you always been inseparable? Didn't you say you were abandoned?"

“Because I found a better partner.”

As he said that, Ben Affleck pulled another actor over, "This is Josh Nehart, my partner in the movie."

Ryan shook his hand, interrupting Ben Affleck who wanted to continue introducing, and extended his hand to the British Rose opposite him, "Long time no see, Kate."

Opposite is his recommended heroine Kate Beckinsale. At the beginning, Michael Bay and Stephen Spielberg liked the actors Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Charlize Theron, but the latter two refused the movie for various reasons.

Given Ryan's past vision, Spielberg only held a round of auditions and decided on the heroine Kate Beckinsale.

"I haven't thanked you yet, Ryan." Kate Beckinsale said after the people around him dispersed.

After coming to Hollywood, she realized the importance of opportunity to actors.

"Didn't you have already made a call?" When he first got the role, Ryan received a special thank-you call from the other party. "It's just a little thing. If you are not good enough, Stephen and Michael will not enable you."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at British Rose. The other party had not taken off his makeup and was dressed in the 1940s, but he always vaguely felt that her temperament was extremely familiar. This had nothing to do with the movies in his previous life, but she seemed to be imitating someone.

A shout suddenly came from a distance. After Kate Beckinsale said sorry to Ryan, he hurried over.

"Very pretty actress." Nicole walked back from Michael Bay.

"Dear, she is already a mother." Ryan signaled Nicole to look at the other side.

A woman who should be a nanny pushed the stroller, and Kate Beckinsale picked up the crying baby inside.

Nicole looked over there with interest. She always liked children. Ryan looked at Nicole and suddenly realized that Kate Beckinsale was imitating Nicole intentionally or unintentionally in the current makeup or movies in previous life.

Although the other party is a few years older than Charlize Theron, she is only a complete newcomer for Hollywood and is far from forming her own performance style.

Ryan shook his head. Even in his previous life, the other party never formed his own style. If he had a tight face, it wouldn't count.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Nicole pulled him and walked over there first, Ryan had to follow him.

"Oh, what a cute little guy." Nicole leaned over and smiled at Kate Beckinsale, "Can you know the name?"

"Hello, Miss Kidman, OK, Nicole." Kate Beckinsale seemed a little surprised, but said calmly, "This is my daughter Lily, Lily Moshin."

"How old?" Nicole touched her nose, and the sobbing baby suddenly laughed, "Wow, it seems that she likes me very much."

"Not one year old."

"Are you married?" Nicole asked curiously.

Kate Beckinsale's mood suddenly fell down, and Nicole smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I thought..."

"Nothing." Although having children out of wedlock is not very glorious, it is not a big deal in open Los Angeles and Hollywood.

Take the Hollywood crew as an example. As long as the breastfeeding actress brings her children to the crew, as long as it does not affect normal shooting, the producer will not interfere in general.

How many celebrities in Hollywood have illegitimate children or illegitimate daughters? This is probably not even the most gossipy newspapers.

Perhaps Nicole has always liked children, and Miss Lily Mo Xin, who can only rely on intuition, obviously liked her very much and was always smiling.

"What a cute little guy." Nicole brought her over, "much cuteer than Alison when he was a kid."

"Alison should be sad when he hears you." Ryan shook his head with a smile.

Nicole also laughed. She was just driven by the little guy's smile and was very happy. If it were to do with feelings, how could she compare to Taylor who grew up watching him.

Looking at the little baby Nicole was holding, Ryan naturally thought of her irresponsible father, later stepfather, and the British Rose opposite him.

He remembered that these three people worked together later and their relationship was always good. In addition, the lovely Miss Lily Mo Xin, the relationship between them four is also a very interesting gossip in Hollywood.

After all, she was a baby who was less than one year old and soon started to blow bubbles. After Nicole returned it to her mother, she walked towards the camera with Ryan in her arms.

"Ryan..." She suddenly turned around and looked over, wanting to speak but stopping.

"What happened?" Ryan was a little surprised. Although Nicole was a person with a lot of scheming, she was always cheerful in front of her.
