American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 234 Rescue
"Movie? You invested in a movie?! Taylor, this is a bold choice. I knew you were different from other girls!" At the dinner table, Julie smiled when she heard that Taylor was investing in a movie.

Taylor glanced at Ryan and then told the truth.

"Oh, Ryan..." Julie immediately realized that she had flattered the wrong person, and she continued calmly, "You two are a powerful alliance."

Then he looked at Ryan and asked casually, "Has the filming started yet? Palm Bridge Pictures, I've never heard of it before. Ryan, you must be very busy at work, can you take care of it?"

"Julie, can I trust you?" Ryan asked suddenly.

"Ryan, don't worry. When I get there, I will keep a close eye on him for you." Julie immediately made the promise.

Ryan looked at Terry beside him again.

“Is there anyone reliable in the crew’s finances?”

Terri seemed absent-minded just now, and now she said, "There are a few. An old classmate of mine just called me not long ago and said that his daughter is looking for a job, and she happens to be studying accounting-related."

Ryan nodded, and after all the arrangements were made, the filming of "The Scandal Project" could start smoothly.

And the cast...

"Ryan, you've been so busy these days. It's really hard work." Daddario stood up and walked to Ryan for some reason, and took the initiative to pour red wine for Ryan.

Taylor was watching from the side, so she naturally didn't dare to do anything that crossed the line.

Ryan asked her about the progress of filming of 2 Broke Girls.

"No problem here."

"The CW TV station has only ordered the first six episodes. You and Amber can't be absent-minded. You must concentrate on filming." Ryan shattered her idea of starring in "The Gossip Girl".

Daddario smiled and said: "You are right. By the way, John and I have moved to a house near Palm Beach. You can bring Taylor over when you are free."

"Then we'll be neighbors. We'll definitely go when we have time." Taylor nodded immediately.

"I don't have time. Taylor and I are very busy right now." Ryan refused directly.

There was a hint of loneliness in Daddario's smile. He was unable to utter a word and returned to his seat silently.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little cold. Finally, it was Trey who spoke up. She looked at Ryan and Taylor and said, "Don't think I'm nagging you two. Taylor is young now..."

"I..." Taylor blushed. Knowing what Terry was going to say, she felt a little embarrassed and secretly looked at Ryan to observe his reaction.

"I told you, Taylor's going on tour in the next two years and has a lot of things to deal with. Now's not the time to have a baby." Ryan shook his head.

After finishing the meal, several people said goodbye at the hotel entrance.

Terry watched the others leave. When she saw Taylor snuggling in Ryan's arms, for some reason, there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Back in the room, Taylor hugged Ryan and suddenly said, "Actually, having a baby won't affect my tour. Now we should have a child of our love. My parents are also talking about this."

"Now is a critical moment in your career. Maybe if you just have the time to give birth to a child, you will be left behind by several other new female singers. Now is a critical moment. If you fall behind, you may never catch up in your entire life." Ryan put his arm around Taylor's waist and reminded her.

"That's right..." Taylor couldn't refute it.

Even if I can go on tour with a baby, it will definitely affect my work to some extent.

Ryan kisses Taylor and opens her teeth...

The next morning, Ryan watched Taylor enter the airport. She would fly directly from Los Angeles to the location where the next round of the tour would begin.

Ryan will stay in Los Angeles for a few more days. He decided to meet with Gary, the director of "Valentine's Day" first. The person who worries Ryan the most is the director Will Gluck. As Gary is also a director, he can answer Ryan's doubts to some extent.

He called Gary, who readily agreed to meet him and informed him of the current filming location.

·
What we shot today was an indoor scene, or to be more precise, a bed scene, but there were no large-scale shots, just a man and a woman waking up from the bed, and then communicating while getting dressed.

Ryan wasn't too familiar with the actor Topher Grace, but she knew the actress - none other than Anne Hathaway.

Ryan was standing behind the director at this moment, watching the lighting, recording, photography and other staff almost filling up the bedroom. Anne Hathaway stretched in front of the camera, wearing a pure white tank top.

What woman sleeps in her underwear? The outfit is so unprofessional. Ryan complained.

"The Princess Diaries", which made Anne Hathaway famous, was the work of director Gary. For the sake of the director, she also participated in "Valentine's Day". However, just like Ryan and Taylor, she only made a cameo appearance and did not have many shots herself.

The scene was shot very quickly.

"Ten minutes for transfer, all units move." The assistant director shouted at this time.

Anne Hathaway came over to communicate with the director.

"Is the previous shot okay? If not, let me try a few more?" Anne Hathaway asked tentatively.

The machines have been removed, do we need to say this? Hypocrisy. Ryan on the side complained.

Sure enough, the director said there was no problem, and the two continued to exchange pleasantries.

At this time, Anne Hathaway spotted Ryan and immediately took the initiative to greet him and smiled: "Mr. Rivers, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a surprise! I didn't notice you just now, I'm so sorry."

I have to mention that she does look pretty when she smiles, with a kind of elegant courtly flavor that is rarely seen in other women.

"Be careful!" She suddenly raised her hand to stop it. It turned out that the recording staff was holding a recording rod and was about to poke Ryan's head.

"It's quite crowded here, isn't it?" She smiled sheepishly.

She always wants to give people a kind impression, and her words are full of polite words, but for some reason, she always gives people a feeling of being deliberate, which makes people think that she is a scheming woman.

No wonder so many people hate it.

"You guys chat, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you." Anne Hathaway seemed to realize that it was a bit redundant for her to stand here, and said immediately, smiling at Ryan before that.

Ryan didn't waste any time and started talking to Gary about Screen Gems.

"You mean Terry Stapleton of Screen Gems likes men? I've heard about that. The last time I met him, he brought a male actor with him." Gary smiled, which indirectly confirmed the truth of Will's words.

Across the crowd, Ryan saw Anne Hathaway behind the director take the phone handed to her by her assistant. When she answered the call, her brows were furrowed, a change from her previous relaxed look. She also covered her mouth with her hand when she spoke.

"It's probably a call from an FBI investigator." Director Gary turned around and whispered to Ryan.

"Yesterday, two FBI agents came to the crew and questioned her. Her ex-boyfriend was suspected of embezzling religious property," Director Gary continued.

"Embezzlement of religious property?" Ryan frowned slightly.

"Yes, her boyfriend colluded with the bishop of the Camden Diocese in New Jersey two years ago and acquired half of the local church's assets. The money was raised from investments raised from Bill Clinton and Ronald Burkle."

Ryan knew the second half of the sentence, but the first half... Ryan didn't really understand it. He felt a little scared. Fortunately, he didn't give in and forced Nora to complete the conversion of the land nature, otherwise he would have ended up like Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend at any time.

"So what was her ex-boyfriend accused of?"

“Investment fraud.”

"What does this have to do with Anne Hathaway?"

"It's simple. The FBI used her as a breakthrough point in their investigation and tried to dig out other evidence from her. In fact, they had already investigated everything that needed to be investigated, but they just kept on targeting her." Gary shook his head.

To put it simply, her ex-boyfriend had offended a big shot in the Donkey Party, and the other party waved his hand and wanted to completely ruin her ex-boyfriend's reputation.

Ryan stood in the distance and watched Anne Hathaway's reaction. Her expression seemed a little flustered. She even noticed Ryan's eyes looking at her and immediately turned her back.

"There's a lot of uproar out there right now. This incident has had quite an impact on her. Several movies that originally wanted to hire her for a role have terminated the invitation because of this incident." Gary sighed. He had a good relationship with Anne Hathaway, so he only said a few more words.

Ryan nodded, and at that moment, his cell phone rang.

"Ryan, are you in the bad room?" It was Ivanka's voice on the other end of the phone.

Ryan asked the purpose of her call.

"It's nothing. I just want to tell you that most of the staff are in place, an office has been found, and the design has been outsourced to a design company in New York. The 'Spirit Club' project has officially started operation, and we will be able to start promoting it and then attracting investors soon." Ivanka said on the other end of the phone.

"Ivanka, you really surprised me." Ryan smiled.

I originally thought that it would take at least a week to complete, but I didn't expect her to be so fast.

At this time, the actor named Topher Grace happened to pass by Ryan. When he heard the name "Iwanka" from Ryan's mouth, he turned his head quickly, as if he was very familiar with the name.

"This is not a difficult task for me. Since I'm taking your salary, I naturally have to work hard." Ivanka said on the other end of the phone.

"I'll go there as soon as I get back to Florida."

"No problem. Besides, the design company urged us to pay the first payment of design fees today, and the rent..." Ivanka smiled embarrassedly.

"How much is it in total? Count all the miscellaneous items and I'll give it to you first."

"Not much, almost one million in total," Ivanka continued.

How many?

"Uh, isn't it a bit high?" "Is it really high? Ryan, this is a national chain brand. In terms of design, we naturally have to find top companies in the industry. The office must also be grand, otherwise how can we convince franchisees of our strength? There are also human resources companies. We find talents from them, and they have to charge consulting fees. These are all places where we spend money. There are also employee benefits and office facilities. I plan to create a comfortable rest area for employees, and a supporting gym. The next step will be a pet area so that employees can bring their pets to work together..." Ivanka talked incessantly about her ideas.

"The idea is correct, but the execution method needs to be changed. Iwanka, we are a small company now, not a Silicon Valley high-tech company that spends investors' money." Ryan reminded.

Now I understand why she acted so quickly. If you outsource everything, as long as you are willing to spend the money, it can be done in minutes.

We are not afraid of the descendants of rich people squandering their wealth, but we are afraid of the descendants of rich people going out to start a business!
The key is, it’s my money!!

"Well, go ask your dad for some funds first."

"He said he didn't have any money at the moment and asked me to come to you first." Ivanka was helpless.

"According to the investment agreement, your father also has a share."

"Okay, I'll give him another call."

"Except for the rent, other expenses will be suspended for the time being, including design expenses. I'll talk about the details after I get back." Ryan hung up the phone in a hurry, and the idea of changing people had already begun to occur to him.

"Are you talking about Iwanka?" the actor named Topher Grace asked.

Ryan looked him over.

"Ivanka in New York?" he asked.

"It's nothing. I just pursued her for a while a few years ago. I didn't expect to hear her name here again." He shook his head and sighed.

The only one who still remembers her after all these years is Iwanka.

She is beautiful, but she is more suitable to be a vase, a company spokesperson or something like that, Ryan thought.

Ryan then walked over to Anne Hathaway, who had just hung up the phone.

"My director said you were in trouble?" Ryan asked suddenly.

Anne Hathaway turned around suddenly and found that it was Ryan. She didn't know how to reply for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "But it will be over soon."

"Really? I heard that this investigation has been going on for a while and you've been targeted by the FBI." Ryan reminded.

"I'm just cooperating with the investigation. Mr. Rivers, I ask you not to tell anyone about this." Anne said.

"I don't have time to discuss other people's affairs, but having said that, you should ask someone for help."

"The lawyer can only provide limited help in this matter. As for other people... they can't help either." Anne Hathaway shook her head and suddenly realized something.

"Mr. Rivers means that you can help me out of this trouble?"

"I can try. You are a dedicated actress and don't deserve to suffer any misfortune." Ryan said.

If she really had a problem, such as taking money from those big shots, she would have been taken away long ago and would not be filming here.

"Is it really possible?" Hope ignited in Anne Hathaway's eyes. She had tried everything since half a year ago, but to no avail.

"Mr. Rivers, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle. My ex-boyfriend offended a big shot. You should know who it is?" Anne Hathaway reminded.

"It just so happens that I can talk to those big shots." Ryan said calmly, and it didn't seem like he was pretending at all.

"Then please wait a moment. I will explain the details to you after I finish my work today." Anne Hathaway said immediately, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

"I won't wait here. After you finish work, you go to..." Ryan told the hotel where he was staying.

Anne Hathaway looked at her assistant and nodded, thinking that Ryan was already engaged to Taylor.

·
Ryan left the set first. In the evening of the same day, Anne, who had finished filming, came to Ryan's room, accompanied by Anne's female assistant.

Anne described the details, which were similar to what Gary mentioned.

Ryan pulled out his phone and looked at Annie.

"Go downstairs and take a look around." Annie instructed the female assistant.

Then he got up and went to the bathroom.

Then Ryan made the call.

"Hi, Ryan." The voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse.

At the same time, that fox-like face also appeared in Ryan's mind.

"I told you that you would contact me."

"I can agree to your terms, but a friend of mine wants me to do a favor." Ryan said.

Ryan had already promised Sharon and pretended to reach a consensus with Jeffrey.

"What are your requirements?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.

"The FBI is investigating Anne Hathaway."

"Do you know her?" The person on the other end of the phone immediately became interested.

"I don't know her. It's just that one of her friends came to me."

"Which friend?"

"Don't worry about it."

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, as if he also felt that Ryan and Anne Hathaway were not related at all.

"Is it because of her boyfriend? I heard Bill talk about him."

"Her boyfriend has been detained, and she needs to extricate herself from this matter."

"Is it possible that the person being targeted is not her ex-boyfriend, but her?" Jeffrey suddenly changed the subject: "The person who is interested in her is Ronald Burkle. This is very difficult to deal with."

"There is only one solution now, and that is for Anne Hathaway to go to Ronald Burkle and plead in person."

If I really want to beg for mercy...there is no need to say more about the rest.

After being cheated out of a sum of money by a swindler, Ronald Burkle not only wanted to send the swindler to jail, but also wanted to take the swindler's girlfriend as well. This Ronald Burkle is really crazy.

"I'd better think of another way." Ryan sneered.

"Forget it. I have a good relationship with Ronald Burkle. Since you want to protect her, I will help you this time. There are many women, and it is not worth it for a woman to lose a friend." Jeffrey smiled.

The phone call had just ended when Anne Hathaway came back.

She was wearing a black and white suit and high heels. Looking around Hollywood, there were few faces that could compare to hers.

"You're in big trouble this time. Do you know who's targeting you? It's Ronald Burkle. He wants you to go there in person." Ryan weighed the phone.

Anne Hathaway immediately gasped, and her originally fair face turned even paler.

A feeling of despair began to spread in her heart. At this point, she had already guessed her own ending.

At worst, I'll just quit the film and television industry! She took a few deep breaths and thought of the worst possible outcome.

No, even if she quit, she would still be targeted... At this moment, Annie wanted to die.

"But this matter has been resolved. From now on, you are completely out of this matter." Ryan changed the subject.

"You talked to Ronald Burkle on the phone?!" Anne Hathaway couldn't believe it.

"I asked a middleman to pass on the message." Ryan explained.

I never expected that Ryan Rivers could do it so easily.

Anne Hathaway looked at the young man in front of her and felt more and more that he was all-powerful. The previous rumors were confirmed one by one in her mind.

However, if such a person is willing to help me, I probably have to give him something in return...

"Mr. Rivers, please tell me whatever you want, as long as it's something I can do." Anne Hathaway took a deep breath. It was not an exaggeration to say that Ryan was her savior.

"You'll have to free up a few days when the time comes," Ryan said suddenly.

"Are we going out for fun?" Anne Hathaway immediately thought of something.

"No, I want you to make a cameo appearance in a movie." Ryan shook his head.

"Of course, absolutely. Not only can I act in the film, but I can also not ask for any pay." Anne Hathaway laughed, and then realized that she had classified Ryan and Ronald Burkle as the same kind of people.

"Besides that, please let me know if you need anything in the future, Mr. Rivers," Anne Hathaway continued.
