[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

Before Leonardo's anger was fully charged, Jason restrained himself, sat down to the side, beckoned the waiter to bring him a new wine glass, and then cleared his throat quite solemnly in front of Edmondo . "I still care about my future," he said. "You know me, Mr. Director. You've seen a lot of my audition tapes. I'm sure I can find the right role for you in your new movie."

It was his movie and the whole script was written for him.Leonardo retorted arrogantly in his heart, of course he didn't say it out loud, the taste of showing off like that was too obvious. "Anyone who is a little bit smarter can see that we are dating, stop talking about work, we just broke away." He restrained his dissatisfaction, "If you think you can pass the audition, go Follow the official news and don't bother with the director-producer's dinner."

Jason Akers seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, and he spread his hands. "Technically speaking, I just saw a friend I haven't seen for a long time and came to say hello." He easily resolved Leonardo's drive, "Just chatting, I heard that this project is more pioneering than the last one , so I’m curious—can you briefly talk about the plot?”

Leonardo frowned as deep as a trench. "Your question is very strange. This is not like a simple greeting between friends," he doubted. "Do you want to get information about the script from Edmondo so that you can sell it to other studios?"

"Of course not, why would I do such a thankless thing?" Jason rolled his eyes slightly, "I'm also an actor, and I've worked with Edmundo. Your suspicions are unreasonable."

Leonardo responded with a disdainful nasal sound. "Still suspicious," he said.

"I don't—why do I have to be questioned by you all the time, I'm here to find Edmundo." Jason shrugged his nose and looked at Edmundo, "I thought you still liked me, before When you were in Hong Kong, you said that my acting career would get wider and wider, and I was looking forward to my future achievements, so you don’t know me anymore in the past few months?”

Edmondo was leaning on the cushion with his chin in one hand, and he chuckled twice after hearing Jason's complaint. "I never forget the actors I've worked with," he said, "and you're right, I do like you."

This made Leonardo's eyes widen, and he glared at Edmondo with an expression of 'how dare you say that in front of my face', but Jason was a little quicker than him, and asked first Said: "Since this is the case, don't you plan to do something? For example, stop his unreasonable targeting behavior."

Edmondo shrugged nonchalantly. "To be honest, I like watching other people quarrel the most, especially beauties," he said. "It would be even better if the beauties quarreled because of me."

Jason had never expected to hear such an answer, and was momentarily at a loss for words.Leonardo had long been used to his unreasonable playing of cards and knew his character well, so he lightly kicked Edmondo's calf under the table.

"You want to know the content of the story, right? You don't need to ask him, I'll tell you." Leonardo said, "It's a classic 'chosen one' story, where little people are forced to participate in activities but accidentally expose a big conspiracy , and that's the core of the whole story."

Looking at Jason's obviously disbelieving eyes, Leonardo felt sincerely happy.He changed to a more free-spirited and arrogant posture and sat opposite him, "I am the second person who has read this script, and I will be the leading actor in the future. I thought you knew about it." He said, "So ——Stop tempting and tempting, go away quickly, we haven't finished our dinner yet."

Edmund directly knocked on the table, and suddenly said to Jason: "This reminds me, there is indeed a very important villain for you to try."

"Really?" Jason asked happily, "Is there such a role?"

"Yes, it's just that it's a flat character, almost a foil to the main character," Edmondo said, "and it's very physically demanding, and if you're going to try to compete for it, you've got to be in the gym until I say as far as possible."

"No problem." Jason agreed directly, "When is the audition?"

"Soon." Edmondo replied, "Send Anderson an email and ask him to send you the fragment script for the audition. You can take a look first. The casting director will send you a message by this weekend at the latest."

Satisfied, Jensen left their seats with a promise. Five seconds after he left, Leonardo's displeasure was visibly unleashed. Sound to attract attention. "I don't like him," he said angrily, "don't let him into our crew, he gives me the feeling that he is trying to get on you."

Edmondo was a little surprised, he raised his eyebrows. "Are you trying to influence the director's casting work, Baby Leo," he smiled, "Don't do that, my dear, I basically choose actors based on their acting skills, and you have to know that in Hollywood, if you want to climb There are a lot of people in my bed, not all of them will be successful."

"What about the kid just now, did you let him succeed?"

"This—you can guess."

"I don't guess, you always tease me on this." Leonardo muttered, "Okay, I get it, don't tell me the terrible result, I don't want to hear it. I hate your style, but I just can't quit you. As compensation, I want you to accompany me to London to promote "Titanic", you can go as a producer, that's reasonable, and I want you to live in the same room as me, don't refuse."

Edmondo puts the pudding in his mouth with a fork, it's a good opportunity to talk to Cameron, and London, just as he's going to see how the Christopher Nolan movie is going, stop by McQueen and see What's going on with this talented designer.He might go even if Leonardo didn't say so, so—

"Why not," he said.

……

In only half a month, Edmundo not only settled the new set location but also confirmed all the main actors. The competition for Jason's role was fierce, and the casting director fell in love with another black-haired boy. The temperament of the two is close.Finally, at Edmondo's insistence, the casting director let go, and the role of the villainous little boss was given to Jason Akers.

After getting the news, Jason rushed to thank Edmondo at the first time, but just happened to bump into him and was about to leave for London. Leonardo kept expressing his dissatisfaction with him while waiting, so in the last few seconds, Jason With a fever in the head, he boarded the plane with a very lame reason.

Jason regretted it the first minute he sat in the cabin, but when he saw Leonardo's angry and helpless expression, he immediately felt it was worth it.When they arrived in London a few hours later, Jason worked his little magic again and managed to convince Edmundo to get a room by himself.

Leonardo was so angry that he almost threw his fist, but fortunately, a staff member stopped him, and Edmundo was also watching. "Don't let me get you, boy!" he whispered to Jason through gritted teeth. "He wouldn't have asked you to come over if he wasn't staying in my room. You can't change anything."

"I'm here with the director, just to get a better understanding of the script." Jensen smiled at him, and then said fairly, "I'm sure he wouldn't turn me down if I had a few issues to work on." outside the door."

The person in charge of publicity not far away waved to Leonardo, "Come here quickly, Jim has something to discuss with you." He said, "We will go to the conference room later, and a reporter will come to conduct a warm-up interview."

The promotion of "Titanic" is naturally the most important. After Leonardo finally gave Jason a warning look, he returned to the crew.Edmondo also finished chatting with Kate Winslet. He handed over the luggage to the students and took him upstairs, and then took Jason to rent a car and went to McQueen's studio.

Jason cherished the opportunity to be alone with Edmondo, and he kept bringing the topic to his own role in the script, making insinuations about the possibility of adding drama.Edmondo did not give any positive answer from the beginning to the end. He pretended to be listening carefully while driving, and his mind had already gone to nowhere.

Jason tentatively ran his fingers around Edmondo's seat belt. "Sir? Sir—Eddie?"

"Honey, I'm driving." Edmondo replied with a half-eyed smile, "My eyes have to watch the road, and you don't want us to get into an accident doing that, Jason."

"I thought we were not in a hurry, sir," Jason replied, "and you don't need to bow your head. I'm quite confident in my skills."

Edmondo let out a series of laughs, and he shook his head. "Honestly, Roadhead? Sorry, notafun," he said, "I don't understand you, some people want to get fame and fortune by climbing into my bed, and some people want to climb in my bed for fame and fortune, What about you, what kind of person do you think you are?"

Jason said, "Neither."

Edmund laughed. "Then it's both." He said affirmatively, "There are not a few such people. Most of them are greedy, look down on me, want to use me, and want to get sincerity from me, and then trample on me. Showing off success hurts my vanity. Say, are you like that?"

"I would like to tell you that I am not, but—" Jason paused for a while, as if thinking about the next answer, he said: "I am more greedy than them except for the idea of ​​looking down on you. I mean Yes, your conditions are there. Although what I say next may offend some people, I still want to say that when someone is aesthetically pleasing and capable enough, everyone will accept and even yearn for unspoken rules. "

This kind of statement can only convince some inexperienced people who have just entered Hollywood, Edmonton shook his head and laughed. "You put yourself out of the way and have to say, Jensen baby, it's not bad, even if it's far from convincing me." He said with a sort of icy smile. Those two things are not in conflict, and you're quite free to admit it. I'd like you better if you didn't put me off with these glib words."

Jensen was about to say something to defend himself, but as Edmondo hit the brakes, they reached their destination.Edmondo had no intention of waiting for him at all, and walked straight to the studio after parking the car. Jason had to get out of the car in a hurry, and trotted after him.This was a manifestation of Edmundo's displeasure. If it weren't for the sake of Jason's face, he would never be so kind.

After greeting the staff, Edmondo came to McQueen, chatted briefly and threw Jason to him as a model. It was hard work, enough for Jason to reflect on himself.

"I like beautiful people, and I like smart people, but don't try to play me, I'm a little more difficult to get along with than you think." Edmondo whispered to Jason, pinching his chin affectionately, and he gave him half Kiss as reserved reward, "Be a good boy, I will continue to like you."

……

In the afternoon, when the "Titanic" crew had almost finished today's promotional tasks, Edmondo just arrived at the promotional site, and there were still many fans and reporters around the door, so he could only call the staff to come out Take him in through the back door.In the corridor, Edmondo tried to call Leonardo's cell phone to determine the location of the other party, but strangely, no one answered from the beginning to the end.He then tried calling the rest of the crew, but again, no one answered.

"Please wait patiently, the interview is not over yet." The staff member said, "Come with me, I will take you to the lounge, I promise they will come out in 5 minutes at most."

Edmondo followed him to the waiting room, he always felt that something was wrong.But before he could figure it out, the staff member suddenly showed a ferocious expression and pushed him into the next room.Edmondo staggered and fell to the ground. During the process, he heard the sound of a gun || being loaded ||, and a woman's exclamation (that sound was quite familiar). A few seconds later, a pair of trembling hands Pulled him back and hugged him.

"You delivered this to your door yourself. If you want to blame it, you can only blame you for being too unlucky." With the sound of boots, the staff member walked over slowly and pointed a gun at them. The guy didn't cover his face. , raised his head arrogantly and said to Edmondo: "I saw you on TV, the descendant of the Frenchman, quickly transfer all the property under your name to us, or—"

A || bullet pierced the floor at Edmondo's feet.

"Don't!" Leonardo's voice exploded in his ears, and he almost broke his voice, "Calm down, calm down! You only want money and don't want to hurt anyone, give us some time!"

Edmondo looked around, this is a conference room, including the staff, there are three gun-wielding robbers, Cameron, Kate, and other crew members who came to promote were coerced to sit on the ground , not far behind him.

Oh--

Only then did Edmondo finally confirm that it turned out that the crew did not answer his calls because they were robbed with ||guns||, and he thought it was something serious.

Yes, for Edmundo, who has experienced big winds and waves, as long as the opponent does not have heavy weapons (such as machine guns), it is not a big deal.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you come to me, it's all my fault." Leonardo confessed in his ear, and he tried his best to wrap him in his arms to protect him, "If we are going to die in Here, I want to tell you—”

Through the clothes, Edmondo felt that his tense muscles were almost as hard as cement. He couldn't help but licked the corners of his mouth, and then Edmundo patted his shoulder lightly, obviously trembling because of fear. Still have to protect his hand from interrupting his words.

"Don't worry, baby Leo, we're all going to get out alive," he said. "Guess what, these stupid thugs forgot something very important."
