[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

After the new year, the news that Edmondo won the OBE swept the media of various countries, and even the movies under his name became popular, among which the most obvious benefit was "Titanic".The box office of Dachuan, which has been in theaters for more than 6 weeks and its revenue has been declining slowly, has picked up, so the release time, which was extended to 8 weeks, has been extended to 9 weeks. It is conservatively estimated that the global box office can exceed 22 billion.

Of course, "Good Will Hunting", produced by Edmondo and supervised by River Phoenix, was also positively affected, and the box office rose sharply in the last week of its release, even surpassing the first week.

As a result, major theaters and DreamWorks jointly made a decision that "Good Will Hunting" will also extend its release.It's just that the release time of this type of movie should not be too long, so it was only extended to 5 weeks. Professionals estimate that the global box office can exceed 3 million US dollars.

In addition to the cooperation with Netflix, because Edmondo occupied the front page position for 45 consecutive days, the rental of related DVDs also reached a new high.

During the period, founder Reed Hastings also thought of a way to expand the company's reputation, that is, to 'wrongly send' thousands of love action movie discs to rental users.It turned out they were a big winner, and no one sent those discs back.

Many friends have sent congratulatory messages to Edmundo. In contrast, Edmundo did not seem too excited. He already knew that there would be such a grand event. The only difference from his previous life was that this time he became a witness By.

In addition to entertainment newspapers, many financial-related media also published his deeds (such as the "Wall Street Journal"), and some speculators exaggerated that he could make more than 12 billion profits from (these movies).In the face of reporters' questioning, Edmondo only vaguely said that "that number is bigger than you imagined."

For a time, Edmondo's limelight was invincible.

At the beginning of February, the crew returned to the UK one after another, and the crew of "Virtual Murder" restarted, and Rui Fan, who had reunited with Edmund, naturally would not miss this good opportunity. On the third day of filming, he came to visit the crew.It's just that unlike before, his appearance didn't attract more attention from Edmondo, because he was busy teaching Leonardo a lesson.

"——I just let you go for Christmas, and didn't let you lose your mind. What's the matter, the fans of "Titanic" blow you up and come back, so you won't be able to perform?"

The white-haired director rolled the script in his hand into a tube and beat Leonardo's head mercilessly. Next to him stood Jason, who was covered in plasma and died repeatedly.They have NGed this episode 17 times, completely breaking Leonardo's new high in the filming of this film. Edmondo's attitude has also changed from gentle comfort at the beginning to violent reprimand now.

"The plot just now was—because of your mistake, Jason, who finally agreed to form a team with you, was canceled and restarted. You should show remorse and self-blame, not the expression of clothes that are so decadent that you are about to die. This is It's not the first time I tell you these words, what more do you want from me, come and perform for you in person before you know how to act? Hell, Leo, if I really are your system, I will definitely leave immediately Let you fend for yourself!"

"And what's the matter with your figure? I've been wanting to say since the first day you came back—are you on protein|| powder? I said that the leading role should remain the same. How do you want me to explain the leading role in the last second? The thin muscles you still have will disappear in a second? God—look at you in the camera. Fortunately, there are clothes to cover you so that the whole team will not stop working and the filming will not continue, but there are still a lot of you naked | topless In addition to the stand-in, the shots can only be made with special effects, do you know that this is a big expense?"

Leonardo touched his nose, his eyes flickering. Not long ago, he followed Toby's suggestion and got a fitness card and began to be strict with himself, but he forgot the worst thing - he was still in the process of filming.

It is very fatal for an actor to undergo an unexpected change during the shooting of a certain film, let alone starring in it. Compared with other directors in Hollywood (such as a well-known studio tyrant Kubrick), Edmondo's anger is reserved. It didn't break out until the third day of shooting, and it was already quite dull.

A few seconds later, Leonardo raised his head and apologized to Edmundo with an embarrassed and apologetic smile. Fortunately, his charming face was still there, otherwise Edmundo might really have punched him on the nose.

"This time it was an accident, all—Mr. Director, I swear it won't happen again." He said sincerely, "I will restore it to the original before shooting that part of the shot (upper body), and it will definitely not increase the cost. .”

Edmondo rolled his eyes towards the studio roof. "Don't talk about the scene, Leo, get ready. Let's continue for the 18th time. This time, try to meet my requirements. Don't let the number exceed 20." He clapped his hands, and the makeup artist and costume team received the signal. He came up and quickly changed the costumes of Leonardo and Jansen, "This time there will be no rest. After 5 minutes, I will pack up and call me, and we will start shooting directly."

Taking advantage of these 5 minutes, Edmund went to greet Rui Fan. He deliberately changed the subject and asked how the other party was doing in China, but Rui Fan didn't seem to think so.

"Don't worry, everything is fine in the country. Anderson is helping you with those movies. He and the finance department have been particularly busy recently. Plus the Wachowski Brothers' movie is about to start shooting—yes, they're going to use Kiki will be the lead actor, we can visit his set when you go back."

Rui Fan succinctly summarized the domestic affairs, and before Edmondo could ask any further questions, he changed the topic to the current filming set. "I think it's right for you to lose your temper, but it doesn't solve the problem," he said, "I was there since you shot the seventh side, and I'm sure you can see that Leonardo's mood is wrong, you have to Don't go talk to him."

Edmondo was silent for a few seconds, then he slapped Rui Fan with his elbow, and said jokingly, "I didn't realize you were so tolerant before. I found time to visit you, and you pushed me to find someone else."

"It's two different things. Now you are the director and he is an actor. If he doesn't perform well, the whole team including you will have to work overtime." Rui Fan cleared his throat and said fairly, "So for the sake of the collective interests, you have to work with him Talk, at least let him finish this shot normally."

"Okay, I'll go talk to him." Edmondo agreed a little impatiently. The camera crew not far away reminded him that the correction was completed. Fan said: "Don't be too selfless, my dear, I still like you better before, and being more possessive will not do you any harm."

After speaking, he finally gave Rui Fan a smile with no clear meaning, turned his head and devoted himself to the filming of the movie.Rui Fan was very helpless when he said that Edmondo was good everywhere, but it was too difficult to serve him—he was annoyed if he was possessive of him, and he felt boring if he was weak.

The previous Leonardo was also put on the bench by Edmondo because he failed to grasp the balance between "youthful" and "childish" (although Rui Fan didn't think he was neglecting Leonardo) .Of course, it was impossible for Rui Fan to tell Edmondo these words, he still wanted to keep his own advantage.

At the same time, Edmondo ended his "conversation" with Leonardo before the filming started. He did exactly what Rui Fan said, but he only did it for a few minutes, completely out of form.

But Leonardo did feel a lot better, and met Edmundo's request during the 19th filming.

At 8:2 p.m., the crew, who had worked overtime for [-] hours, could finally end their day's work. Edmondo also agreed to Rui Fan's dinner invitation, but he also brought Leonardo with him, and the reason was that Yes—"Didn't you tell me to talk to him? The set is not finished, so I can only continue during dinner."

Rui Fan said, "But I only reserved two seats."

Edmondo refused to budge, he replied: "Then you'd better let the restaurant solve this quickly."

There is no other way, Rui Fan can only call the restaurant again and ask them to change him to a more private room. This restaurant is very famous, and the manager disagreed at first, but after hearing that Jack from "Titanic" also came back After the meal, he completely changed his face, not only actively helped Rui Fan change the private room, but also provided various services.

This is equivalent to a second critical strike for Rui Fan.

Facing Rui Fan's more helpless expression, Edmondo showed a mischievous smile.Afterwards, he pinched his cheek affectionately, and whispered in his ear: "This is a punishment for your generosity. If you are not ready to fight for something for yourself next time, then I will not only kill you Bring it to our dinner table, and bring it to our bed."

Rui Fan is not a person who is willing to be threatened, and Leonardo even refuses to be a bargaining chip to threaten others, so the three of them first went to have a dinner that only Edmondo was happy with, and then went back to the hotel. Mondo is happy, but then only Edmundo is unhappy with the movement.

When Edmondo said "enough, no more", both of them pretended not to understand, and said "this is only halfway".

On the second day, the director and leading actor of "Virtual Murder" were both late.

The well-known British lace newspaper "The Sun" reported on this matter, and because of its obvious tendency, most of the UK supported 'Jack' and his 'golden master' to be together.Soon, someone who claimed to be an employee of Edmondo stepped forward and broke the news. The other party said that Edmundo's true love was actually Rui Fan, and the others were just 'playing'.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a worldwide sensation, but the person involved never came forward to clarify. Some reporters chased Edmondo's mansion in Los Angeles from the British studio, but failed to get results.

Therefore, who is Edmondo's true love has become the biggest mystery at the end of the 20th century.

……

At the beginning of March, as the crew of "Virtual Killer" finished production and returned to the United States, the popularity of various scandals gradually decreased. At this time, Oscar announced the list of nominated works, and Edmondo and his "Witness for the Prosecution" were on the list.At the same time, a number of films related to him were nominated, and the enthusiasm that had just dropped has risen again. Amidst the jubilation, people set the 3 year for this Oscar as "Edmund's Years".

Although the reporters' interviews won't bring much damage, they are indeed annoying, and they are the kind of helpless annoying. In order to avoid them, Edmondo rented a small studio to work alone, knowing the address There are only a few people, broker and friend Anderson is one of them.

"Don't tire yourself out, Dudu, it's only been a few months since you climbed out of Canudo, rest is the most important thing." Anderson said, "You know you can leave the editing of the movie to the editor, right? ?”

"Of course I know, but they are not me, who knows what they will cut out. And I like to cut films, like reviewing my work. Don't worry, it's not tiring." Edmondo said, "But Speaking of Canudo, Castro is dead, the boss has to be replaced, who is this time?"

"It's Delane, you know, the kid who used to play football with us and always follow your ass." Anderson said, "I heard that he is very skilled, and he managed the slums worse than the government when he took office Well, they nicknamed him 'Bloodhound', which sounds pretty domineering."

"Oh, him." Edmund raised his eyebrows, "Does that mean we don't have to hide when we go back to Canudo?"

"That's right, after so many years, he still admires you, and he sent me an email to apologize to you for those people in Castro last week." Anderson said, "But that kid is no more ruthless than Cass Trocha, in order to show us his favor, he killed all the guys who had been advised by Castro's men to get you."

Edmundo's hand cutting the film paused, and then returned to normal. "It's not surprising. Leaders always have to show their prestige when they come to power." He said, "Is there anything else besides this? If not, I want to continue to concentrate on my work."

"Yes, Universal wants to find you to direct "The Sixth Sense of Lives and Deaths", the one Pete told you about before."

"Don't do it, push it." Edmondo cast a condemning look at his friend, "You just said that you want me to rest more, you are a double-faced person who says one thing and does another."

"I'm just telling you, and I didn't expect you to take it. The producer is the son of Universal's boss Diller. He clamored for you to direct, and Diller didn't want you to shoot, but he couldn't refuse his offer. Dear son." Anderson said, "Fortunately, you are now so famous that you can reject others at will, so I thought, just sell Diller a favor, it will be useful in the future."

Edmundo considered Anderson's plan for 2 seconds before nodding in support. “Fine, let’s do it,” he said. “Tell Diller I’m going to be the bad guy, and if something goes wrong with my movie, it’s time for him to help.”

Anderson got up, chatted a few more words and left Edmondo's studio.But before Edmondo could cut out a few seconds of the movie, someone came to disturb him again.Michelle, who was wearing a white suit, walked in carelessly. He brought some food and supplies. It seemed that he was here to be Edmondo's nanny.

But Edmondo didn't like to be disturbed, and because being bet by heaven and hell increased his troubles several times, which made him even more unhappy, so he didn't give Archangel Michelle much face.But Michelle didn't seem to care about it, and with Edmondo's disapproving eyes, he pulled him to sit down on the sofa in the rest area.

"I think it's time to change your image, Edmondo." Michelle said, "You must have read the recent reports, everyone is guessing when you will end this wandering life, I know That's great, but only true love is what stays with you for the rest of your life, and you always have to think about the future."

Edmondo didn't understand the reason for his words at all. Considering that Lucy hadn't asked him to do anything for a while, he guessed that the Lord of Hell might have done something to stimulate the angels, making these fluffy white wings The guys have a sense of crisis.

"I'm only 24 years old, why should I think about the future?" He replied pretending not to understand, "and—true love? When did you start talking about such naive things, my dear cousin, don't you Disney undercover?"

"No, no, I'm just saying, you are very successful now, Edmundo, but you still need to let the people know who you really are and let the people like you." Michelle racked her brains to persuade Edmundo to be a good person, At least it must appear that he wants to be a good person, "For example, setting up a foundation to help poor countries, donating money to local places, and giving speeches everywhere, which will be good for your image."

Edmondo smiled sarcastically. "It sounds like you have ulterior motives, cousin," he said. "It is well known that the Bonaparte family cannot participate in |politics in France. Why, do you want me to run in the United States?"

"That's not the case." Michelle hurriedly cleared herself up, even the newly born angels know the filth of politics, and it is impossible to create a world of their own in it with clean hands and feet, "I don't want you to be in politics. What to do in terms of governance, I just want to change your image, I have received complaints from many parents that you will have a bad influence on their children."

Hmph, ridiculous.

Edmundo didn't want to give the archangel in front of him another chance to speak, but in order to prevent the other party from continuing to make more outrageous demands, he said that he would "consider it."Not long after, Michelle, who knew he couldn't get any results, left the studio, and the first thing he did after he left was to find the intelligence team and inquire about Lucy's latest actions.

Edmondo had guessed that Michelle really panicked because she couldn't figure out what Lucy was doing recently.

"It's no different from usual. Lucy still made money for Edmondo in the stock market. He didn't do anything except occasionally help Edward Furlong." The intelligence team replied, "We also investigated Edward Furlong's Dynamics, he bought a villa for himself, he is getting farther and farther away from Edmondo, and he met new friends at a party not long ago, generally speaking, it belongs to the normal category of human beings."

"I don't believe it. I understand Lucy. He never does things for no reason. There must be something he wants in Fran." Michelle said firmly, "Keep an eye on Fran, and directly Call me, Lucy's ability is not something ordinary angels can handle."

"Understood." The angel of the intelligence team responded and disappeared in front of Michelle.

After Michel finished his inspection and returned to the human world after completing the deployment, a week had passed here. Edmondo took advantage of the weekend to leave the studio, and he took his things to the gym to meet Pete.Michel observed in mid-air, this is not a good omen, if Edmundo continues to expand his team of lovers, it won't take long for him to lose to Lucy.

Michelle continued to monitor Edmondo's every move.

"If you are talking about "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death", then I advise you to save your energy, I have already refused." Edmondo said while bandaging his hands, "Sorry to keep you waiting for half a year , but the answer is still no, I still have a lot of work.”

Pete didn't insist anymore, he shrugged, bandaged his wrists like Edmondo, and started punching against the sandbag.But this kind of harmony didn't last long, and while Edmondo was drinking water, he leaned over.

"I was thinking, uh—do you want to try it with me?" Pete asked slowly. "I mean, the last time we were together, it wasn't too bad. I've had a lot of dates lately, men, women, They are not as good as you, so I came to you to ask this, what do you think?"

Edmondo raised his eyebrows and looked over, "I suggest you straighten your tongue before you speak," he replied a little meanly, "What do you say is good, is it sex, or dating, or—"

"I mean a formal relationship, being a couple with me, is that straightforward enough?" Pete said angrily, "Comeon, Eddie, I know you want to be serious with anyone, just so do I, so Why don't we try it, maybe we can find a little different feeling from the process."

Edmundo looked at Pete's expression seriously, and then drank the energy volume. "You're trying to trick me, Pete, I can see that," he said. "I've had someone do it before, trick me into saying he agrees with the way I handle my relationship and wants to 'play' with me, and you know what he ended up doing. Is it like that?"

Pete asked cooperatively, "How did he end up?"

"Going from 'favorite' to 'bench'," Edmondo said, giving him a smirk, "So, Pete, if you want to ask me out, just say so, I'm always open about sex, If you don't talk about feelings, I may not agree."

Pete shrugged. "Isn't that different, being a couple is just putting a title on the hookup, if you don't think it's suitable then break up, it's no big deal." He said, "Please, try it with me, I really really miss you."

"But, Pete, if couples are just a title like you said, why should I bother myself to get this title, just hookup it." Edmondo asked innocently, "If you have nothing else to do, get out of my way, and I'll practice for another 20 minutes."

Pete tactfully did not continue to stalk, he accompanied Edmundo through all his training, and by the way admired Edmundo's beautiful waist and hip lines when he lifted the barbell for a while.Seeing that the time was almost up, taking advantage of another break, Pete approached again.

"What do you want to say this time?" Edmondo asked, "Have you finally figured it out and don't want me to try it with you?"

"No, I just want to ask you a few questions about choosing scripts." Pete decided to use a roundabout way to let Edmondo gradually adapt to his existence. He made up a random reason and took the script that he found not long ago. Moved out, "Last month, Jean-Jacques Arnold gave me a script and said it was an award-winning literary film."

"So?" Edmundo asked. "What does this have to do with me?"

"People say that your success in the past few years is inseparable from your ability to select scripts, so I want you to help see if this is a qualified script for awards." Pete has good reasons, "Honestly, I don’t expect to make money from it, so—give me a review.”

It sounded like a troublesome and easily offending job, Edmondo shrugged his nose, and finally decided to let Pete tell him the title of the film first. "What's the name," he asked. "If it's a good script, someone must have told me about it."

"This script is relatively small, and it will be filmed in China. It is called "Seven Years of Tibet." Peter said, "Jean-Jacques Arnold told me that this is an adaptation of the autobiography of a mountaineer. I don't know much about Tibet. But it's an autobiographical adaptation, and it sounds like an award-winning subject, doesn't it?"

'banging'

Edmondo pushed the barbell next to him to the ground, and the loud noise made Pete stunned.

"What rubbish are you thinking about all day long? Do you dare to take this kind of movie?" Edmundo stared at it, and in just a few seconds he realized which movie Pete was talking about, " Tell me, Pete, tell me you didn't take it, you didn't sign the contract, did you?"

Brad Pitt was taken aback by his aura.

"Relax, Edmundo, of course I haven't picked it up," he said. "What's wrong with the movie? What's the problem?"

"There is a serious problem. If you don't want your career to have black spots, you should decline it first and report to the United Nations that the original author is a Nazi." Edmondo said seriously, "Only in this way can you Idiots don't lose a big market in the East, and maintain your current image."

Pete was taken aback. "What? The original author was—what?"

"Nazis, yes, you heard that right." Edmondo rolled his eyes at him, "It's not big news, if you are willing to check the Internet, you can find relevant news, but obviously, you Not even a little bit of preparation in advance."

Pete didn't have the time to respond to Edmondo's ingenious pun. He asked a few more sensitive topics, and then hurriedly took his things to find his agent.Seeing his somewhat embarrassed back, Edmundo couldn't hold back, and rolled his eyes again.

It's too stupid to say anything.

The archangel nodded in satisfaction, collected the feathers and returned to heaven, and the feathers that Edmondo had been carrying with him also stopped heating.The white-haired director looked up in the air thoughtfully, and then decided to go back and ask again.

……

The next few days were uneventful. Edmondo and Rui Fan visited Keanu on the set of "The Matrix" and attended the TV Choice Awards. "Sin Rebellion", and the little angel Asi also set out the reason for the feather's fever.

When there are high-ranking angels around him, such a result will occur. As soon as he thinks about it, it is easy to get the answer that the object is Michelle.Combining the information he had learned, Edmondo began to think about the possibility of counterattack.

But before he started to conceive, another big problem occurred. DreamWorks was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and quickly conquered the hearts of stockholders. A new shareholder with the right to speak.

And this new shareholder decided to play a big game, and pulled out Edmundo's "Innocence Revolt" to 'behead' on the first day of joining the shareholder meeting, and his reasons were the same as all the previous warnings to Edmundo The same as the people in the film——"An Asian is the protagonist, is he crazy? He can't get back the money at all. It's better to give up and use that money to invest in better movies."

When he got the news, Edmondo was playing games with Rui Fan and Keanu, and he went crazy.
