Daniel Green gave a reply the next day, not only expressing his willingness to serve as a bodyguard, but also agreeing to publish an autobiography.

Whether it is doubling his income, moving his family to Los Angeles, and publishing an autobiography, it is a rare opportunity for him.

Not to mention, there is also the adaptation of Ryan's mouth into a movie.

Daniel Green signed a bodyguard agreement that afternoon.

As for publishing his autobiography, Ryan handed it over to Penelope Pataky.

Not only is she a lawyer, she knows how to protect the best interests so that ghostwriters will not jump out and cause trouble in the future, but Penelope-Pataky's family is of extraordinary background and has many contacts. It is not difficult to find a suitable ghostwriter.

In addition, Ryan remembered that someone in his previous life seemed to have published a similar book, and he would definitely encounter legal problems.

For a period of time, Penelope Pataky has been dealing with some matters related to the charity fund, and it is expected that a large-scale charity auction will be held in the near future as the establishment ceremony of the charity foundation.

Apart from being used for tax avoidance, the charitable fund itself does not have much expenditure, and even the donations raised are fully enough to cover the remuneration and administrative expenses of the managers.

There is no secret operation, and it can be done aboveboard. It is a normal operation in the United States for charitable funds to collect a certain percentage of donations for the fund itself.

The U.S. government has very loose regulations on non-profit organizations, and there are no strict rules on how to use the collected donations.

The charitable fund can not use a penny for charitable accounts, at most it will lose some credibility and reputation, and there is no need to worry about facing legal sanctions, and it can also avoid taxes.

This is why there are so many charitable funds in the United States. In addition to tax avoidance, many people can also use them as a source of expenditure.

Of course, Ryan will not do this, and he is not prepared to do so, and even spends part of the money out of his own pocket every year for charity.

In order to achieve the real role of the charitable fund, it can be regarded as a kind of investment in setting up people.

"How to calculate the income that has been credited?" Demi, the director of the financial department of Orion Films, asked.

The box office of "Terminator 3" is a big hit, and various peripheral copyrights can be easily sold for a high price, as well as a lot of advertising revenue, and the first box office share that will arrive soon.

However, "Terminator 3" is a financing project. In addition to Orion's own distribution share, according to the financing agreement signed at the beginning, it is necessary to share some benefits with the Prince of Brunei.

As a result, the accounts naturally cannot be calculated like the previous films.

"Copyright income, advertising income, and peripheral product income, etc., are not within the scope of the financing agreement signed at the beginning." Ryan said slowly.

Hollywood has never been polite to foreign funds, and can only let them share the income from the box office.

"So the accounts of these revenues can be operated as normal."

"As for the next box office share!" Ryan hesitated for a while, and quickly made a decision.

"Terminator 3" has been released for more than 20 days, and a group of theater companies are about to pay the first box office share to the distribution company.

It can be seen from this that it is important to have a distribution channel in North America, otherwise we can only wait for the distribution company to pay the box office share.

"The North American box office share can be a little more generous, and the overseas box office share can be pushed to 20th Century Fox."

From the moment he accepted financing, Ryan had considered this matter.

Even the Prince of Brunei doesn't care about investment income and can even accept losses.

But Ryan is not going to do too much at the North American box office. At most, he will deduct all the costs and related expenses of the film first, as well as the funds that need to be donated in the future. He is not going to do too much with the remaining funds.

Of course, the overseas box office will be calculated separately.

Demi nodded, expressing her understanding that the manipulation of the accounts must be done, but not too much.

"The accounts should be well done, not too obvious." Ryan felt that he was already very trustworthy.

After all, the two sides will continue to cooperate in the future.

Otherwise, if it were any other film company, facing investors from Brunei, the Prince of Brunei might lose all his money.

In the end, the director of the film made money, the leading actor of the film made money, the distribution company made money, the producer made money, the theater company made money, and only the investment company of the project lost money.

Things like this are common in Hollywood.

"Ryan, these are your things."

Sofia Coppola walked in with a cardboard box in her arms, and put it directly on the desk with a bang, "The mailroom just delivered it, most of which are letters from the audience of "Terminator 3", and Some small presents."

"Remember to pick a few and reply to them yourself, and attach a small gift."

Ryan looked at the cardboard box in front of him, and then blinked at Sophia, "It seems like I'm a director, not an actor!"

"Charlie receives ten times as many letters as you." Sofia Coppola shrugged and reminded, "Besides, the director also needs the support of the audience."

"But Charlie's letters are all answered by Helen." Ryan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "And you asked me to reply in person."

"That's because Charlie needs to follow the crew to go overseas for publicity, and she doesn't have time to reply." Sofia Coppola said bluntly: "And you are in Los Angeles."

Ryan was quickly defeated, so he could only take out a few letters and open them, choose some more normal replies from them, and asked the secretary to attach a souvenir of the crew.

The contents of the letters were all kinds of strange, including everything, and even threats. He could only selectively reply to a few.

The rest of the letters were returned to Sofia Coppola and asked her to find someone to deal with them.

Ryan got up and left Orion Pictures.

Coming downstairs, Ryan took Daniel Green, the bodyguard and driver, and drove to a fitness club.

Not long after, Ryan changed his clothes, wore shorts and a vest, jogged on the treadmill, and gradually began to speed up.

Daniel Green on the side acted as a fitness coach, constantly reminding him to pay attention to his breathing rhythm.

About 20 minutes later, Ryan was already sweating profusely, panting heavily.

"OK, you can slow down slowly. Pay attention to your breathing rhythm, so you can feel more relaxed." Daniel Green looked at the time, put his hand on the deceleration button of the treadmill, and began to slow down gradually.

For exercising, Ryan has never relaxed. A good body is sometimes more important than anything else.

What's more, he has to face a large forest.

As the treadmill decelerated, Ryan's pace gradually slowed down until the treadmill stopped completely. He walked off the treadmill, picked up a towel that had been prepared earlier, wiped his sweat up and down, and was about to go rest area.

Daniel Green suddenly stopped, and whispered in Ryan's ear, "It seems to be Julia Roberts over there!"

Ryan looked in the direction he was pointing, just in time to see a beautiful back.

Already tall, she was wearing a black vest and leggings and was doing sit-ups. Every time she stood up, she outlined a perfect silhouette, as if full of fatal temptation.

"You go to the rest area first, I'll go over and say hello to her." After speaking, Ryan walked over without any hesitation.

However, he didn't go up to greet Julia Roberts directly, but stood not far away and quietly admired it.

I have to say that Julia Roberts' figure is really not bad, coupled with her fame, there is an unimaginable temptation for any man.

Ryan suddenly remembered another thing. Julia-Roberts and Anne-Hathaway looked somewhat similar, at least their mouths were very big.

The two of them also have one thing in common, the "Pretty Woman" directed by Gary Marshall, which made Julia Roberts popular.

However, another film he directed, "The Princess Diaries", made Anne Hathaway popular.

It can only be said that Gary Marshall has a good vision, and his aesthetics are very in line with the taste of the public.

Julia Roberts, who was exercising, frowned gradually. She could clearly feel that there was another person beside her, and her gaze seemed a little fiery.

Although she has long been accustomed to facing similar gazes, she still feels a little uncomfortable in situations like this one.

The next moment, Julia Roberts stopped moving and turned around suddenly, just about to point her finger at the other party to question.

However, what catches the eye is a familiar face.

"Hi, Julie, I didn't expect to meet you here." Ryan waved enthusiastically to Julia Roberts who suddenly turned around.

"Ryan!"

Julia-Roberts suddenly didn't know what to say. She looked at the enthusiastic Ryan in front of her eyes and asked speechlessly, "Why are you here?"

"I just changed to a new fitness club." Ryan glanced down involuntarily, and the visual area was not small, and then he said in an admiring tone, "It seems that I made a very correct choice .”

The previous fitness club was located in North Hollywood, a bit far from Bel Air, and it wasn't safe in the near future.

So Ryan just changed a health club near Beverly these days.

I just didn't expect to meet Julia Roberts on the second day of my visit.

No wonder, rich Americans like to choose Beverly Hills to live.
