[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

Edmondo and Rui Fan do not intend to continue to argue about drug use or who forgives whom, the two of them always quarrel endlessly, and now they are at the Leonardo, who knows what will happen become what.So after drinking two cups of coffee, Edmondo resolutely went to Spielberg's appointment regardless of the obstruction.As for whether the two people who were left at home would quarrel or fight, that's not something he should consider.

Spielberg didn't blame him for being 10 minutes late, he kindly sat down Edmondo, and then told a sad news with apologies: he has been busy with industrial light and magic recently, and may not be able to meet the stipulated time To complete Edmondo's request, he can choose to wait, or find another special effects company.

Edmondo was very surprised by this, he asked: "I thought that the task at hand was only "Saving Private Ryan" recently, and there are not many shots in this movie that require special effects."

"Not just it, but Jurassic Park 3," Spielberg replied. He paused, pulled out a guilty smile, and said, "I'm no longer directing this movie, Universal. Hope to rely on the IP and technology of dinosaurs to keep the box office, so they transferred a lot of people and teams to provide advice, and many of the people they transferred were in charge of your project. Universal has been investing since a few years ago , almost the second largest shareholder—I'm sorry, Edmundo."

There is nothing to be sorry about. Edmondo has encountered this kind of operation many times. It is like this in post studios without long-term cooperation. Big factories will use their relationships to make small moves behind the scenes, and he has nothing to do.At least Spielberg gave him the news ahead of time instead of wrangling when he found out he was behind schedule.

The only question is, why is Universal doing the tricks?

Edmondo thought he hadn't had any major conflicts with Universal, except—except Di Matt Moore.Shortly after he finished "Entanglement" with Universal, Dimat resigned from them. Although this incident had nothing to do with him, Edmundo believed that someone must have noticed that he and Dima The atmosphere among the special, and added fuel and vinegar to convey to the senior management of the world.

So their anger is not completely incomprehensible. If Universal encounters a lot of trouble after the chief legal counsel leaves, it is indeed possible to vent their anger on Edmondo.However, given his identity, Universal wouldn't do anything to him too blatantly, so the problem wasn't particularly serious.

After a while, ask Anderson to remind them that everyone is out to make money, and maybe they will cooperate in the future, so there is no need to be completely deadlocked.

Edmondo shrugged.Ask calmly: "If I have to wait, at least until when?"

"Next year in May," Spielberg said.He was surprised by Edmundo's compromise, "Have you decided, Edmundo, to let Industrial Light and Magic continue to do it?"

Edmondo asked back, "Why not?"

Spielberg said: "To be honest, as a publisher, we are not particularly happy about this, which means that your game adaptation movie "Resident Evil" will be delayed for two years. Right."

Oh, the game knows it will still be popular in 10 years, Edmondo thought to himself.But Spielberg's words make sense, he can't delay for too long, time is money is absolutely true, and other shareholders of DreamWorks will have opinions.

"Okay, then I'll ask Cameron, there should be no projects in the digital field recently." Edmundo said, "It's just that I have already agreed with him that I will hand over the later stages of "Bug" and "Innocent" They, if "Resident Evil" is handed over to them again, I don't know if the workload is too big."

1. Spielberg nods. "You can also try Cinesite (special effects company). They have recently expanded their scale, which may be acceptable." He said, "By the way-you have to stay here for a while, and the person in charge of publicity will come over in half an hour. In charge of two projects at the end of this year, "Good Will Hunting" and "Titanic", Fox hopes that he can adjust from the middle to prevent these two films from crashing."

These words reminded Edmondo that the post-production special effects can be put on hold temporarily, and it will not be completed until next year at the earliest, and the big ship is about to set sail. lose situation.

It's time to plan well, Edmondo drank his third cup of coffee today, and waited with Spielberg for the arrival of the person in charge.

At the same time, Leonardo and Rui Fan, who were left at home, quarreled again because of disagreements. Unfortunately, they didn't close the curtains of the living room, and their quarrel was broken by the pair Neighbors peeped, which means that this matter will be in the newspapers within two days.

When the hands of the clock pointed to 12 o'clock, they ended the meeting, and Edmondo walked out of Spielberg's office in a nonchalant way.The person in charge of publicity and distribution brought two assistants here. His purpose today is to arrange all the projects related to Edmondo in his hand, including the upcoming "Titanic", "Good Will Hunting", and "The Innocence," "Resident Evil," and "Bug" and "The Matrix," which have yet to start filming.

According to the arrangement of the six movies, Edmund had a big head, and he finally waited for the opportunity for lunch. He dragged his heavy head and stuffed a few mouthfuls of salad into his stomach, and then slipped away before the person in charge continued to drag him to arrange the itinerary.On the way back to Leonard's house, he pushed all these things to the agent.

"You're a little bastard, you know Edmundo." Anderson said through gritted teeth, "These are all projects you brought to DreamWorks, and you should be responsible to the end."

"Oh——my dear Anderson, you should thank me for giving you this rare opportunity to exercise." Edmondo said with an obvious smile, "You will not always be my agent, these few projects Just to let you exercise, maybe we will be able to start our own company by then."

Anderson didn't expect his friend's thoughts. He paused and said, "Do you want to be the second Weinstein, Dudu?"

"No, I want to be the first Edmundo Moreira." Edmundo said rather arrogantly, "I don't like Weinstein's style, don't put me with him."

"—Well, you are always right." After complaining a few words in a low voice, Anderson sighed and agreed. Then he seemed worried, and brought the topic to illegal drugs and drugs, "About your smoking|| | About the medicine, I have to tell you clearly - no matter what your reason is, I still don't agree with you to use medicine to relieve stress, even if the laughing gas doesn't affect you now, in the next few years, can you Guaranteed not to get addicted, not to increase the dose? And—"

Edmundo was about to have a stress reaction to the word || drugs, he rolled his eyes at the roof of the car, and then hung up the phone mercilessly.Although this would make Anderson very angry, he really didn't want to continue the topic.To appease his friend, he texted Anderson about laughing gas that he could take a step back and not touch it until his birthday next year (now he can use a feather to summon a cherub to get information, after all)

Anderson called again, this time he was much calmer, and Edmondo didn't hang up again. "Okay, I'll trust you one last time." He said, "If you see Rui Fan, remember to tell him about it, otherwise he will give you aversion therapy."

"Huh?" Edmondo made a puzzled single sound, "What does that mean?"

"It's a kind of therapy," Anderson explained, "that compromises you with laughing gas, and then does some professional work in the middle to make you feel disgusted with it, so that you can directly cut off the possibility of drug addiction."

"Oh," said Edmundo.He didn't want to expose his sudden anger at the moment, Rui Fan lied to him again, apologizing and understanding him were all nonsense, how dare he? "I've already met Rui Fan. He arrived at Leo's house in the morning. I opened the door." He said, "He didn't tell me anything."

"That's not surprising, if you knew about this in advance, the effect would be greatly reduced, I—oh!" Halfway through the sentence, Anderson finally realized that he had accidentally exposed Rui Fan's purpose, and he was very annoyed by it. And tried to remedy, "You know Rui Fan is for your own good, right, Dudu." He said, "Don't make things difficult for him, we came up with that solution together, we mean Rui Fan, me, and Johnny .”

Edmondo sneered silently. "Angry? No, I'm not angry at all." He said, "I just need to have a good chat with Rui Fan--for now, I'm at Leo's house, we'll see you later." He didn't respond to Anderson after finishing speaking Time, cut off the call directly.

He couldn't wait to have a fight.

……

Rui Fan felt a little wronged. In order to repair the relationship, he even stayed at Leonardo's house and waited for Edmondo to come back after talking about work. And at this moment Edmondo came back and pointed the finger at Rui Fan.

Still regarding the matter of laughing gas, Rui Fan felt even more wronged.It was Edmondo who secretly used laughing gas behind everyone's back to decompress. He just acted a little tougher because he was worried about the other party's health.He thinks it's the same as when Edmundo forced them all to say goodbye to pills a few years ago.

"Look, this is the problem." Edmondo said coldly, he folded his arms, showing full resistance, "Do you remember what you said to me in the morning? You said that this matter is all yours Wrong, you are willing to make up for the mistakes you made."

Rui Fan frowned, he didn't think there was any problem with these words.

"I heard about your plan from Anderson. You don't think you are wrong at all, but you still ran over to apologize to me. This is completely contradictory." Edmondo put his two fists together, "I never feel that doing something wrong is something that can be shot to death, but at least you have to admit that if you think you are right from the bottom of your heart, why do you need my forgiveness?"

So it was this kind of attitude problem again, Rui Fan sighed in his heart. "I don't think I'm right, I think you have to be more wrong about this matter." He said.

"What! How dare you—"

"Listen to me, if you are not doing something illegal and harmful to your health, why didn't you tell us." Rui Fan said calmly, "Look, you used to treat me like this, in your words—why Want to be the Riddler?"

He paused, then added: "If you had told us earlier that you were stressed out and needed laughing gas relief, these things would never have happened. You made my mistake, and when I used you You can't bear it when you teach me to teach you, Dudu, you can't do this."

Now it was Edmundo's turn to be speechless.

This is a fucking endless loop, he thought bitterly, the reason he didn't tell them he was using laughing gas was because he didn't have that much pressure at all, his purpose was just to find out information through this method.And he can't reveal that, heaven and hell?Sounds like something a junkie would say.

What do you do when you encounter something that you can't explain?Edmundo chose not to explain.

Edmondo said: "I think-we have to calm down, put aside the problem of laughing gas this time, what I care about is your attitude, dear. Every time you are too anxious to come to me to apologize, I It's hard to tell if you really think you're wrong or if you know that if you apologize I'll forgive you and we'll be happy together again and I—I need a moment to calm down."

Rui Fan was caught off guard by this move.coward!He scolded in his heart.

Edmondo can guess what Rui Fan is thinking in his heart, he knows the meaning of his every expression, but so what, Edmundo has his own set of rules: he can do whatever he wants, don’t Reasons are needed.

At this moment, a call came to Edmondo's cell phone. The ringtone temporarily broke the tense atmosphere in the room. Edmundo went to the window to answer the call.Opposite is the scene director of the new project "Bug", he brought bad news to Edmondo, the shipyard where they plan to build the scene has signed a contract with Universal, where they will shoot "The Mummy".

Universal again?Edmondo frowned. This is unreasonable. Universal is a big company. It is impossible for them to retaliate against him with a small conflict. This is tantamount to breaking off the future cooperation relationship. A shrewd businessman would not do this.With doubts, Edmondo asked the person in charge to drag the owner of the shipyard, and he wanted to go over and have a detailed discussion with the other party in person.

Putting down the phone, Edmundo looked at Leonardo and said, "Come with me, Leo. There is something wrong with our movie scene and we must solve it quickly. We can't be held back by this, except that you are the leading actor. There are still many supporting roles that have not been finalized, so we will not be able to start the game on your birthday."

'Our movie'?

'Turn it on in time for your birthday'?

Rui Fan felt himself being struck by lightning, he looked at Edmundo suddenly, the hidden expression on Edmundo's face made him realize that he said that on purpose.Before he could say anything more, he was kicked out.Looking at the backs of the two driving away, Rui Fan took a deep breath.

Bad news: Edmondo is very angry, and they will be in this lukewarm state for more than half a year

The good news: Edmundo will still be angry, and his jealousy and sadness are important to Edmundo, which means that he still matters.

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Edmondo ended his conversation with the owner of the shipyard, and the result could not be changed. They had to re-select the location of the set.This is definitely not a coincidence. Someone inside Universal wants to mess with him. From the conversation, I learned that the price was doubled. No matter how you look at it, it looks like public revenge.

But Edmundo was exhausted, at least today he was not going to explore the truth, after saying goodbye to the boss, he took Leonardo to a nearby restaurant for dinner.Unusually, Leonardo didn't speak much along the way, as if he was preoccupied.

After sitting in the restaurant, Edmondo asked for a good bottle of red wine to pour for the two of them, and then comforted: "Don't worry, I promised you that I would turn the phone on on your birthday and I wouldn't break my promise."

Leonardo shook his head. "I'm not worried about that," he said, "You and Phoenix—I don't know what to say."

"What happened to Rui Fan? You should be happy when we quarreled." He said, "If we didn't quarrel, there would be three people at this table tonight. You don't want that to happen, right?"

"It's true that I don't want to, but—" Leonardo scratched his hair in frustration, "I always feel very sad when I see you quarreling with him, the aura of the two of you, and those words... you Never quarrel with me."

ha?

Edmundo was so shocked by his statement that he almost spit out the red wine from his mouth.

"What do you mean, jealous that Rui Fan can quarrel with me? I can quarrel with you if you want, but Leo, I never knew that you have a tendency to be ||abuse||." Ed Mundo joked, "What's the matter, do you want me to scold you?"

Leonardo thought with some dejection in his heart that only couples in love don't quarrel, and as we all know, couples in love will eventually break up.

"Forget it," he said, shrugging, trying to regain his composure, "forget about that, just pretend I'm being stupid—let's talk about next month's promotion. Next month I'll be with Jim to Are you willing to go with me to promote the big ship all over the world?"

Edmondo was a little surprised. "I really want to, but I can't." He said, "I promised you to start the machine on your birthday. If the scene has not been set up and the actors have not been confirmed, what should we use to start it?"

Leonardo pouted. "Okay, let me just ask." He said, "About the other actors in that movie, when will they audition? Do you need me to recommend some?"

"It would be great if that's the case." Edmondo reached out and tapped the back of his hand, "Maybe you can ask Toby to try, and there are two more important male characters, he—"

Before Edmondo could finish speaking, someone suddenly jumped out and patted him on the shoulder from behind, and at the same time, the youthful and hoarse voice sounded.

"What a coincidence, Eddie! I didn't expect to see you here!"

Another gold appeared in front of Edmondo, Jason Akers hooked his neck affectionately, and gave him a passionate kiss on the cheek while squeezing into the seat.Jason turned a blind eye to Leonardo's warning eyes, he put one hand on the table, looked at Edmondo with a smile and asked: "I heard that you have a new project again, is this true? "
