[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

The New Year’s bell has been gone for a long time, but the festival is still exuding warmth. The cleared snow and fireworks debris are piled up on the street, and there are more pedestrians. Earn money for a living.Edmondo doesn't have to worry about his livelihood, but there are many other things that give him headaches besides money, such as the release time of "Witness for the Prosecution".

他本想着在10月份将完整影片送审，然后赶上12月的圣诞档期上映,这样就有足够的时间让他们赚钱并且囤积口碑,并向着97年颁发的各项大奖发起冲击。但也不知道是不是年末的节日气氛让审核变得懒惰了,直到1月3日通过审核的消息才传进埃德蒙多的耳朵。

That means they can only be released in early February at the earliest, which is also the coldest time of year.The box office is bound to suffer, even if they just went to cities in the UK last week to promote it and get the British spirits up with Agatha's name.

Edmundo thought about pouring himself a glass of whiskey, then shook the ice cubes in it to the window, and glanced back and forth aimlessly in the yard of the manor by the moonlight. The study room had the widest view.

For him, the only advantage of postponing the release is that he can compete with Cameron's "Titanic", and the competitors may not be the only ones, Rui Fan's "L.A. Confidential" and "Fargo" will also Released in 97, plus Matt and Ben's "Good Will Hunting", maybe this will be another session where gods fight.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Edmondo looked back, and the man had already opened the door and walked in.That's Leonardo, who's had enough of the hell with cold treatment, and is determined to come and ask for an explanation.However, when he met those dark blue eyes angrily, the anger in his heart turned into grievance again.He stared at Edmondo and first stated the facts to him: "The guard at the door told me you were not in the room."

"Hmm, I told them to say that." Edmondo leaned lazily against the wall, sipping his whiskey and asked, "I'm not at home, why do you still insist on coming in?"

"If I don't come in to see if I've been cheated by you soon, it turns out that persistence is right." Leonardo replied, he tried to keep his voice free of emotion, "Next time, if you don't want to see me, please inform the guards Don't let me in, or I'll still do it."

Unexpectedly, Edmondo laughed when he heard his answer. He left the wall and walked lightly towards Leonardo.His whole aura softened, and he was no longer as indifferent as before, as if he was talking about business.

"Are you losing your temper with me, dear?" He kindly helped Leonardo straighten his collar, and then kissed him lightly on the cheek, "Why would I not let you in, you are still in the manor room—wait, isn’t that exactly my room. Believe me, if I didn’t want to see you that room wouldn’t exist in the first place.”

Leonardo didn't know whether this was considered an active reconciliation, so he continued to keep his face cold and silent.Edmondo brought him in, then sat on two single sofas separately, and called a servant to pour coffee for him, as if he was going to talk about something important.

"So you're planning to give up on me and drive me away?" Leonardo asked after taking a sip of the coffee, which was Italian in taste, and the bitterness made him stick out his tongue. "You can't do that, you said, you'll love me until 2016, those are your exact words."

Edmund half-closed his eyes and smiled at him, "Who told you that I'm going to give up on you, I just want to talk to you about movies." He circled the mouth of the wine glass with his index finger as he said, "If you care about What happened last time, then I can tell you clearly: you can turn the chapter."

"Turned over?" Leonardo repeated, and then frowned, "You mean you refused?"

"Of course not, you haven't gone through the process, how can it be regarded as a rejection, are you right?" Edmondo spread his hands, showing a weird smile, "And it is indeed true, I will love it until 2016 You, so you don't have to worry."

Something hanging in Leonardo's heart was let go, but at the same time, there was also loss.He drank the warm coffee in one gulp, and when the bitterness passed, the mellow taste gradually occupied his entire mouth.His mood brightened.

"Okay, I remember." He relaxed and leaned on the sofa, and then put on a cute face that was unreasonable immediately after gaining power, "But you didn't want to see me today, I think I should at least deserve an apology And compensation."

"It was my fault that I didn't see you before, but that's because I have too many things to take care of recently. I was worried that you would complain about me, so I didn't answer your calls and didn't want to see you." Edmondo told him Explained that there was a mixture of truth and falsehood, "But it's okay now, I don't have so much to do after "Witness for the Prosecution" is released, and I will make it up to you, baby."

Leonardo refused to negotiate. "That's been too long, I want it now," he said forcefully, quietly watching Edmundo's reaction.

Edmondo chuckled, showing no resistance. "Yes, I promise you." He got up and took the documents from the desk and came back. This time he didn't go back to his independent sofa, but sat directly on Leonardo's lap, and nestled into him by the way. Huai Li, "But before that, let's talk about your schedule for this year—when will you be free in the second half of the year?"

The person was already sitting in his arms, which was more real than those illusory promises. Leonardo lost his judgment because of this. He completely lost the calmness he had when he came, and was led away by Edmondo again.

He came over and kissed him on the cheek: "As long as you want, you can do it anytime."

……

At the same time, Edward Furlong, who was struggling with how to make money, ushered in an unexpected guest in his old house. It was a noble man with long black hair. Have met each other, and he knows that Edmundo calls him a consultant.The man introduced himself to him very respectfully, so he invited the man in, and they sat down near the dining table.

"I don't know what you're interested in here, tell me, what do you want me to do?" Furlong asked directly, he didn't intend to follow the rhythm of the other party, "But I'm not doing charity, you'd better There's something I need too."

Lucy was not interested in Fran's tricks, he asked, "Tell me what you need, maybe I can satisfy you."

"You came to me to make a deal without even knowing what I want most? I don't think I can trust you. You can leave, Mr. Consultant." Fran replied coldly.

That's what he said, but the owner of the house didn't mean to get up and open the door to see off the guests. That's when the devil opened his eyes to look at him. Edward Furlong was far more ambitious than he imagined.

They looked at each other at the dining table, the air froze for a few seconds, and then Lucy said, "I know what you want most, and I can help you get him."

When Lucy used 'he' to refer to what Fran wanted most, Fran's back stiffened slightly.This consultant is not simple, he thought, except that he wanted Edmondo most, and didn't say a word about what he needed to cooperate with.

He raised his finger to signal the consultant to continue: "I'm listening."

Lucy smiled and said: "Not long ago, I got authorization to get a sum of money from Edmondo's overseas account, which is several million dollars. Although it is not much, it is enough to make a fortune during the financial crisis." Pen. When we do these things in the name of Edmondo, he will be blacklisted by the international police, and I will trick him into signing an agreement to give up property to escape international disputes, but then he will be in Some tax issue in the country is about to be exposed, of course, I made it up, but he's going to be in jail before it's discovered. You know, his 'friends' won't let him go to jail, all He'll be a fugitive, and you'll be able to have him without anyone finding out."

"It sounds like a high risk." Furlong did not express his attitude, although he liked the plan from a certain point of view, "There are many loopholes, Edmondo is not a lamb to be slaughtered, once exposed, I will face criminal charges, And you’re just a financial fraudster, it’s not worth it.”

"But you can have Edmondo." Lucy shrugged, "High risk, high reward."

Fran didn't answer, he was thinking.

"You can build a strong dungeon in advance to take care of him, even if they can't find anyone to help him after a few months, he's still yours, and you can enjoy praying with everyone during the day Edmondo It’s okay, come back at night to confirm that he’s okay and have a good life. No one will find out, and you can imprison him for the rest of your life.” The devil took the opportunity to continue to encourage him, “Think about it, this plan is perfect, and Edmondo will only belong to you from now on Yes, you can enjoy him forever."

Edward Furlong's blood was surging, Edmondo, who only belonged to him, these words almost made his brain explode|explode.He took a deep breath, and then questioned him with his remaining rationality. "You can do these things yourself, why do you need me?" He grasped the point, "All operations are financial, you don't need me."

"Indeed, I don't need you." Lucy said, "You can take this as a personal grievance. I want Edmondo to disappear. I just gave it to you as a gift. I don't need much reward, as long as you are there when I need you." Just show kindness."

Fran sneered, what does this Lucy think of himself, a godfather like Vito Corleone?

He asked, "When are you going to do it?"

"It will start this year, but this game will continue until the millennium comes." Lucy said, "Are you joining?"

Fran still didn't answer directly.

After a pause, he then asked, "How do you plan to divide the property under his name?"

Lucy said, "I want [-]%, and you take the rest."

Fran shook his head. "Fifty percent." He was bargaining.

"That's too much, if you are like this, we don't have to talk about it." Lucy said, he observed the transformation of the boy in front of him with great interest, "You already have the Edmondo you want most, so what do you need so much money for?" ?”

"I have to pay [-]%, the risk is too great, otherwise you will go to someone else. Although I have to endure the existence of other people to maintain the status quo, at least I don't have to worry about going to jail." Fran raised the corners of his mouth, "And I have to raise He, you, as his financial advisor, should be aware of his ability to spend money, and I have to prevent myself from being hollowed out."

It was unexpectedly good. Fran's growth exceeded expectations, so Lucy also raised the corners of his mouth. He held out his hand to Fran reservedly, and said, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

……

In early February, Edmundo and the crew went to London to attend the premiere, and stopped by Agatha's former residence. Everything went very smoothly. "Witness for the Prosecution" was very popular. Shocking reversal.Except for some people who are not very satisfied with the nationality of the actors, this premiere is perfect.

They held a celebration party that night, and someone kindly invited the best stripper in the area to add to the fun. Edmondo hadn't been this happy in a long time.During those few days in London, he also stopped by McQueen to talk about the past, and Edmondo got a whole set of handmade accessories from him, all of which were made of silver, and mainly skeletons.

They played together for a few days and discussed the new fashion show before Edmondo returned to Los Angeles.After all, Los Angeles is a big market, so he had to at least go to the entrance of the theater to promote it.

At the end of the screening that day, when Edmondo took Nicole Kidman on his arm and was about to go out for a while, Rui Fan appeared, he quickly blocked their way, and then said to Edmundo: "We There was trouble, Ben and Matt were filming in Boston, and there was a bar owner sitting on the floor to keep the crew out, Ben punched the owner, and it turned into a fight, and now they're all caught in it."
