[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

"Don't reason with a fool, it won't work at all."

When Rui Fan woke up from the groggy darkness, the first sentence he heard was Edmondo's words. He hesitated for a while, and finally didn't move his body parts. He wanted to hear what Edmundo said next. What would he say, and who was that 'fool' referring to.

I hope it's not about me, Rui Fan thought a little bit self-deprecatingly, he doesn't think he's a fool, blocking Edmondo's gun is not in his plan at all, and he never thought about it.It's completely subconscious, it's out of control.Rui Fan thought, if Edmundo called him a fool because of this, then he--just leave him.

Thinking of this made Rui Fan's chest tight, he had to open his mouth to breathe to maintain his body functions.If only there was a machine that could erase his memory of Dodo, so he wouldn't be in pain.Speaking of pain—the wound on his back was starting to burn unbearably.

That's when he realized he was lying on the bed.

"—Yes, just go and tell them that I, Edmondo, don't accept negotiations. They were so happy when they sold me the IP of "Resident Evil". It’s like being taken advantage of. Now that this IP can make money, they have to go back on their word. It’s impossible. Anderson, you go tell Capcom that my movie has finished shooting and post-production is almost over. I will wait for the game to be released next year Start showing."

Oh, it turned out that the idiot was talking about Capcom, Rui Fan felt relieved, and he no longer fantasized about the memory-erasing machine.

Edmundo hung up the phone, let out two cold snorts of indignation, then sat down on the bed next door, and began to send text messages on his cell phone.Thanks to the manufacturer of the mobile phone for designing a sound for the buttons, Rui Fan closed his eyes and listened to Edmondo's movements.

"Open your eyes when you wake up. You have been lying on this bed for more than half a month. If you continue like this, your calves will degenerate." Edmondo said lightly, and the sound of the phone's keyboard did not stop at the same time. , "Don't expect me to greet you just because you took a shot for me, get up, I still have work."

Being discovered, Rui Fan opened his eyes in embarrassment, and then tried to prop up his upper body with his arms, but soon he realized that this was not feasible, every muscle seemed to be connected to the wound on his back, Even moving a finger makes him gasp in pain.

"Hey! Don't move around!" Edmondo hurriedly rolled over and got down to support him, "That bullet was so deep that it almost hit your lungs, basically a half-day trip on your back. So Don't move, the wound will burst open."

"Well—but, you asked me to get up quickly." Rui Fan innocently explained, "There is still work to do, I can't lie on the bed for too long."

"That's mocking you, because I'm a bastard, don't just listen to what the bastard says." Edmondo sneered again, "Don't move, I'll help you—"

After a few minutes, with Edmondo's help, Rui Fan finally turned over and leaned against the soft pillow, and he saw the whole picture of the room for the first time.It is similar to most hospitals, and it is white everywhere. There are two beds in the room, with daily necessities in the middle, and some fruit baskets and flower baskets around the bed. The slogan on the bedside is not in English.

"So, we are still in Rio." Rui Fan said.

"Yes." Edmondo nodded, "You were bleeding heavily after being shot. We changed you to 3 hospitals before you stabilized. The doctors here rescued you for 3 days. You stayed in the intensive care unit for another week. Been in a coma for a week, now it's been 18 days."

"Where are the others, Keanu? Anderson?" Rui Fan asked.

"Go back, they still have something to do." Edmondo didn't say that he was the one who drove them back. He poured Rui Fan a glass of water and took a banana.

"Where did my phone go, did someone contact me when I was unconscious?" Rui Fan asked again.

"Here." Edmondo threw his mobile phone over, "The band called, and I told them about you; the announcement of "Good Will Hunting" also called you, and he told you the good news. After the film was released, the word-of-mouth box office has been soaring. Matt and Ben almost became the celebrities of DreamWorks. The executives threw them several parties. Ben wanted to invite me, but I told him that I was in Rio—— "

"Oh." Rui Fan responded dryly, "That's really good."

Edmondo nodded, without saying anything, the ward suddenly fell silent.A few minutes later, Edmundo took out the mp3 from his pocket, put on one earphone, and shook the other earphone to Rui Fan.Rui Fan nodded, so Edmondo helped him insert the earphones into his ears, and then pressed the start button.

The mp3 started to work, and the song played was still Edmondo's favorite song "Ayvamos".The strange thing is that although the melody is very cheerful, Rui Fan can hear a trace of helplessness and sadness from it.He couldn't understand what the deep male voice was singing, but it didn't affect their empathy.

After a while, Edmondo spoke suddenly. "Do you want to go back?" he asked.

"what did the doctor say?"

"He said you're going to be active after a few more days off, so he's not going to stop you from getting on the plane."

"Then what do you think?"

"Me? I didn't think about it. The shooting will start on the 11th. I can accompany you until the 9th." Edmondo said, "Whether you want to stay in Rio or go back to Los Angeles, I respect your request. "

Rui Fan nodded.After a while.

"Let's go back," he said.

Edmondo shrugged and agreed to his proposal.

No one mentioned the slum anymore, as if something was different.

……

Five days later, at the beginning of November, Edmundo and Rui Fan returned to Los Angeles. In order not to worry his family, they never informed his family of Rui Fan's injury, so Edmundo asked him to return to live in his manor and invited him to live in Los Angeles. Professional care was required until his gunshot wound was fully healed.

The caretaker was a young Italian boy named Liam, fresh out of nursing school, who wanted to work more jobs because the family had younger siblings going to school.After confirming that his situation was true, Edmondo doubled the price offered, and at the same time, he asked him to take care of Rui Fan 24 hours a day.

Rui Fan was very dissatisfied with this decision, but chose to compromise after learning that the young man had a similar experience to his.

"I'm feeling better, and I'll be able to get rid of my wheelchair in a few days. Can I go to London to see you, Dudu?" Rui Fan asked, "Don't refuse me. I went to London just to wait for your movie to start shooting. Then I went to play a guest role in it. Although we went to Rio in the middle, I don’t think this should affect it.”

Edmondo refused Michelle's help to pack the box, he rolled up a pile of underwear and stuffed it in, then leaned over and kissed Rui Fan on the cheek. "But Liam said that your injury will take at least a month and a half to fully heal, and you can't do strenuous exercise in the middle. I don't want your wound to tear, dear." He said.

"No strenuous exercise, I just want to be closer to the set." Rui Fan said, "You can't say that me watching you from the side is considered strenuous exercise."

"No, what I mean is - if you show up I can't help but ride you, you should see what you look like, it's all to my liking. I'm going to hurt you." Ed Mondo curled Rui Fan's slightly longer hair with his fingers and comforted him, "And the post-production of "Resident Evil" is about to be completed, and I need people to watch, and I have to go to London, so I have to trouble you and Anderson."

Rui Fan finally compromised, he put his hand around Edmondo's neck and exchanged a kiss with him. "I'll see you as soon as I'm well," he said. "I hope it won't be until Christmas."

"Don't worry," Edmondo smiled, "I can't bear Christmas."

……

After bidding farewell to Rui Fan, Edmundo went to find Anderson to arrange a recent job, and then rushed to England. At this time, he did not have the relaxed look when talking with Rui Fan, and his whole body exuded 'cold' and ' The atmosphere of "stay away from strangers" is vaguely mixed with a trace of "decadence".

As a good friend who has been with him for many years, Anderson immediately noticed that something was wrong with Edmondo and found the root cause. He rolled a certain file in his hand and shook his hair and clicked his tongue.

"In 97, I told you not to arrange your work so full. You didn't listen. Now it's fine. The pressure is so great, and none of your lovers are fuel-efficient lamps. A little trouble will be enough for you to have a headache. ’ he complained.

Soon, Anderson realized that this was not going to make Edmondo better, so he shut up in good time.

"Anyway, give yourself a vacation after you've been busy for a while, we all do. Don't worry about your lovers, just go around by yourself, change your mood, and maybe go to the World Cup." After hesitating for a while, the agent Said, ""Titanic" is released, "Good Will Hunting" is released, and "The Matrix" will be released in the future. The shares in DreamWorks can let us lie down and make money, so don't be too busy and be kind to yourself."

Edmondo pondered for a while, then raised his head and gave his friend a smile.

"Then let's do it," he said.

……

On the morning of November 11th, Edmondo arrived in London.Leonardo picked up the plane with a few bodyguards.The temperature in London has been completely dropped by several rains, and Edmondo couldn't help shivering when he got off the plane.There were snowflakes falling in the air, and he tightened his collar. Unexpectedly, Leonardo thought in advance that he might wear very little, so he deliberately brought more scarves and windbreakers.

"I made this scarf, and Cillian Murphy taught me how to use a knitting needle. Although there were some difficulties at the beginning, I quickly solved it." Leonardo put on the red scarf with gold trim On Edmondo's neck, "It's not very heavy, and it can be worn at other times except summer. How about it, it's not bad."

To be honest, the scarf was very rough, but it did make Edmondo feel warm again. He smiled, and it was rare that he didn't tease the other party's craftsmanship.Leonardo probably knew what was going on, Edmundo wasn't very emotional after the Rio slum incident, he wasn't even passionate when texting him, even after he sent a lot of jokes Just reply with a simple "LoL" or "LMAO"

The bodyguards stuffed his luggage into the trunk, and Leonardo took him into another car, expressing that he would take him around for a walk. On the way, they chatted about knitting scarves again, and Leonardo told him Showing his fingers that have been pricked a lot.Edmondo's mood is slightly better, but there is still a cloud of gloom.

"What's the matter with this color scheme?" Edmundo asked inadvertently, "This dark red with gold trim, don't let McQueen see it, or he will tear this scarf and scold you. Aesthetics polluted his eyes."

"Oh, that." Leonardo waved his hand, "I read it from the cover of a fairy tale book. But I have to say, the content of that book is also quite good. It mentions that red is a symbol of courage, So I chose it."

Edmondo blinked, and suddenly a familiar feeling came.

"What book is that?" he asked.

"For children, it's called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Leonardo replied, "I bought that book, and I've only read half of it now. If you're interested, we can go together!"

Leonardo was happy to finally find something that aroused Edmundo's interest, and he mentally constructed the image of the two lying on the grass and reading together.However, what he didn't know was that as long as he made Edmundo unhappy, Edmundo could give him spoilers at any time.

It's Harry Potter.

Edmondo thought that this might be an opportunity to buy the copyright before the first part of the book came out before it attracted Warner's attention, and then set up the same shooting team as he had imagined. As hot as he remembered.After the start of sequel production, DreamWorks is no longer a Hollywood 'small workshop'.

Suddenly, the car stopped without saying hello, and the two people sitting in the back row who were not wearing seat belts leaned forward at the same time. Edmondo was okay, he propped himself up on the seat, and Leonardo just What a pity, his nose was hit hard, he moaned|groaned, and his eyes were red.

"Oh my god, hell!"

Leonardo held his nose and cursed under his breath, but the first thing on his mind was not to blame the driver or check what happened outside, but to cheer that he could finally get Edmundo's attention.

"It hurts so much, I think I need enough kisses to get better." He turned his head and reached for Edmondo's sleeve. "Right here," he pointed to the bridge of his nose." Look, it's all red—"

However, the kiss he was expecting did not come, and Edmondo seemed to be attracted by what happened ahead, which caused the sudden stop. "Don't make noise, Leo." He made a silent gesture, "Your nose is fine, don't try to take this opportunity to deceive me."

Leonardo angrily blew the hair drooping on his forehead, and opened the car window to look over there.He wanted to see what could seduce Edmundo more than his charm.

A car next to them also encountered the same situation as them, and they heard a sudden sound of brakes, and 5 or 6 young people jumped out of the car, shouting and running forward.

"It's Friends! I can't believe it, for goodness sake! They actually came to London to film!"

Leonardo was stunned, oh, it's "Friends", he tentatively admits that this is more attractive than him.Coincidentally, Courteney Cox (Monica) over there looked over at this moment. She and Leonardo had a brief conversation at an event, so she subconsciously waved her hand.

The fans who had been waiting not far away followed Courteney's line of sight, and a burst of more intense screams erupted.

"It's Jack! My God! It's Leonardo!"

A certain girl's exclamation completely ignited the enthusiasm of the crowd, and Leonardo underestimated his global influence after the release of "Titanic", and was confused by fans and paparazzi without warning.Even Edmondo, who was sitting next to him, suffered.

Enthusiastic fans flooded the entire sedan.

"Hollywood beauties Leon and Eddie show up together, God must have heard our prayers! Wait, they're filming "Friends" over there, are they here for a cameo?"
