[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate
Chapter 16 Raising a Male Star
Edmondo completed the post-production of the entire film before Christmas. He put the samples into DVDs and videotapes and sent them to the production company, and then flew back to Los Angeles in a private jet. Of course, he did not Forget to bring those three with you.
They have never been on such a private jet. Although several of them are Hollywood first-line or quasi-first-line stars, with millions of dollars in salary, they still haven't reached the point where they can own a private jet.
Edmundo threw himself on the sofa calmly, and skillfully called the stewardess to pour him the high-strength wine, which is also a unique supply of his family's winery. It is said that the market price of each bottle exceeds [-].
"I can't believe it, this plane is your personal use, isn't it usually used by other people at all?" Keanu walked around the cabin curiously, "I feel like I can hear the sound of coins being lost."
"The sound of coins falling, are you Donald Duck's uncle, Keanu—and I don't know how much it will cost, probably tens of millions." Edmondo drank the high alcohol in his hand, and then Leaning lazily on the leather sofa, "Private jets, pilots, airports, the housekeeper said hundreds of thousands a day."
"That's really expensive." Rui Fan said as he sat down beside Edmondo, put his two legs on his own, and then danced with his fingers on his calf intentionally or unintentionally, "It costs a few times a day. If it’s 50, Dudu, even if you inherit more than [-] billion, it won’t last long.”
Keanu was also about to ask this question, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Edmundo and Rui Fan's intimate movements, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips after turning around twice.
The relationship between Edmondo and Rui Fan is very strange. From the behavior, they seem to be together, but no one admits it. From the feeling, they seem to have only stayed in the ambiguous period.
Edmondo spread his hands: "The money I inherited also includes various real estate and businesses. Those businesses are making money for me as we speak. I don't know more specifically-Keanu you What are you doing standing there, come and sit down."
Hearing Edmondo's call, Keanu recovered from his daze, and he walked over and sat down with complicated eyes.
"Wait, you just said that you gave Anderson the management of all the money." Depp, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked with doubts, "Aren't you worried that he will do something small?"
"He won't, I know him." Edmundo replied without thinking, "I've known him for ten years, and he is even willing to take a bullet for me, and I am willing to do that for him. Anderson is not just My agent and assistant, he's more like my mother and wife combined."
The air was quiet for a while, the plane rose to a suitable altitude and stabilized, and the alcohol in Edmondo's body began to take effect, his face flushed, and his eyes wandered.
"Speaking of which, I did one more thing Anderson definitely wouldn't let me do—"
After Edmondo said lightly, he got up from the sofa, then turned to several people and lifted up his clothes to reveal the tattoo on his lower back.
"It's so beautiful, isn't it. I can't help but admire it every night when I look in the mirror, but Anderson doesn't like it. He always thinks tattoos are not clean."
Edmundo didn't realize how much visual impact what he was doing had on them.
His waist is beautiful, even more beautiful than those models on the cover of magazines or shopping mall posters, especially when he leans sideways to inhale, the lines are almost hooked, and people can't move their eyes away, and further down, the beautiful waist The lines lined his buttocks more upright.
Keanu almost jumped up from his seat, he lowered his head, a little red went up from his neck, even Johnny Depp, who had seen the tattoo process, couldn't help but cleared his throat and looked away uncomfortably, while The one who touched me the most was River Phoenix.
Not only because of the attractive curves, but also because there is a phoenix reborn from the ashes entangled by thorns and roses.
"Dudu, you—"
Rui Fan couldn't help reaching out to touch that piece of skin, but the next second, Edmundo, who was in a drunken state, put down his clothes.
"I know what you're thinking, but I'm sorry, it's not." He shook his finger and said lightly, "The phoenix doesn't refer to you, Rui Fan. I just simply like roses, thorns, and The elements of the reborn phoenix are nothing more than that."
But obviously, Rui Fan didn't believe his words.
"This is crazy, Dudu." He sighed softly, "I—"
Before he could finish speaking, Edmondo fell headlong into the sofa and fell asleep. The high alcohol was still too strong for him.
So Rui Fan's unfinished words turned into sighs, he helped Edmundo adjust to a comfortable posture, and then covered him with a blanket.
"This little bastard always likes to do this, leave a mess, and then walk away without hesitation." Keanu looked at Edmundo who had fallen asleep and shrugged his nose and complained in a low voice, "Sometimes I really wonder if he did it on purpose. of."
There was a few seconds of silence in the cabin.
"—Is it hard to say on purpose, but I have another question to ask you." Depp opened his mouth slowly, his eyes glanced at Rui Fan and Keanu, "Is there anyone here who has slept with him?"
If this scene is made into a movie, then the tense sound effect will definitely be added at the moment when Depp's voice falls.
Keanu subconsciously looked at Rui Fan, while Rui Fan squinted his eyes and stared at Depp to explore the real meaning of his question.The atmosphere in the cabin became ambiguous||ambiguous and thickened, and none of the three spoke, but silently communicated with each other with their eyes.
Of course, Edmundo, who was sleeping on the sofa, was not affected by the atmosphere at all. He turned over to face the inside, raised one leg and pressed the blanket to fully expose the beautiful curves.With his movements, the shirt on the back kept rolling up, and the seductive tattoo appeared in front of several people again.
No one spoke.
They maintained this atmosphere until the plane landed.
……
After getting off the plane, the four became three.
Johnny Depp was picked up by his agent because of work, and Edmondo took Rui Fan and Keanu into Anderson's car. The scenery outside the window became more and more strange, and the surrounding houses became more and more The more imposing, Keanu Reeves couldn't help asking.
"Where are you going to take us? In my impression, none of us live in this direction."
Anderson, who was driving, adjusted his rearview mirror and looked through there to the rear.
"Didn't I tell you all? He bought you a prison not far from Beverly Hills." He joked and motioned to the two people in the back row to ask Edmondo, "I paid nearly I just snatched it from a real estate agent who looked like a man who turned into an orange and was said to be friends with Michael Jackson."
Edmondo laughed. He guessed who Anderson was talking about, but if he told them now that the real estate businessman would become the president of the United States in the future, no one would believe him.
However, the atmosphere of joy only lingers on Edmondo and Anderson. The attention of Rui Fan and Keanu in the back row are all attracted by the word "prison". Mundo turned his head with a full smile.
"Relax, it's not really a prison. If the prison also has a living space of 7000 square meters, with a garden of 200 square meters and a private driveway, it can be called a prison." He said, "I asked Anderson to prepare it for you. The room, you can check in directly, so that I can continue to supervise you, and I have to make sure that what happened to Rui Fan will never happen again."
Rui Fan opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound. He looked at Keanu beside him, and the same thing happened to him.
……
After about 15 minutes, they arrived at their destination, which was more of an estate than a house, a modern estate.
Standing up the steps in front of the expensive-looking gate, Edmondo dramatically turns to look at River and Keanu, then opens his arms like a messiah.
"Welcome. Please don't stress. This house is not specially prepared for you, and I will live in it. Of course, it would be great if you live with me so that I can keep track of your movements. I Never forcing anyone, if anyone wants to leave he can leave anytime."
"Now, does anyone want to leave?"
The answer is no.
Edmundo was very satisfied with the result, he waved his hand: "Come on, let Anderson take you upstairs, I—"
Before he could finish speaking, Anderson interrupted him.
"No, let the servants take them to the room, you come with me, and we have to talk about work." The manager and friend clapped their hands, and two male servants in suits came out from inside. Standing in front of the door, he looked like he was waiting for an order.
Anderson: "Take them upstairs, the two rooms that were packed."
"You still hired a servant?"
"If you don't hire a servant, tell me will you clean the 3-storey villa, or do you want me to clean it." Anderson gave him a smirk, "Don't blame me for spending money, Dudu, in the future you will clean it." will thank me."
"Why would I blame you, you can spend the money as you like." Edmundo raised the corners of his mouth, and then he turned to Rui Fan and Keanu, who hadn't recovered, and shrugged rather rascally: " That's it, Andy and I are going to talk about work, and when we're done talking to you guys, until then—please feel free."
……
Upstairs, the office.
"I can't believe it. This is exactly the same as your office. How did you arrange it?" Edmondo walked around the room curiously. "I already feel oppressed."
"Um, if I don't do this, you will arrange all the rooms as entertainment rooms, and I not only arrange it as an office, but also take over the phone." Anderson rolled his eyes, and then walked to the office Sit down at the table, "Let's talk about the schedule of your new movie. "Entanglement" has been established for almost half a year, and the investors hope to start as soon as possible. It will be March at the latest, and it can't be delayed any longer."
Edmondo did not sit down opposite his friend, but went to the small sofa and threw himself into it.
"I thought we had already discussed this issue, Andy, the movie has to be released." He said with some dissatisfaction, "The core of this script is too dark, and the original starring Rui Fan and Keanu have arrangements , not to mention that I have just inherited a large sum of money, if the investors of the movie want me to pay liquidated damages, then give it to them."
Anderson was a little angry, but he quickly suppressed those emotions. He sighed and stood up from behind the desk, pressing one of the buttons on the desk phone, like the boss notifying employees to come in—
"Please come in."
Edmondo looked over puzzled: "Who, who did you let in?"
Amidst Anderson's gesture and the sound of elegant leather shoes, a man in a pure black suit walked in, and he bowed slightly to Edmondo who was on the sofa.
"Good day, sir," he said to Edmundo. "I'm Lucy, Lucy Goldson, your financial advisor."
……
The man has black waist-length hair, black eyes, and a handsome face like David's sculpture, and his voice is low, with an inexplicably breathtaking feeling, like a nobleman in the Middle Ages, he is reserved to Edmondo smile.
"you--"
Edmondo was completely stunned. The man in front of him had a strong impact on his brain, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity grew wildly in his subconscious, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find anything related to it. Mark of.
The man named Lucy reminded him of fragments of memories, black feathers mixed with tossing pleasure, they kept flashing in his mind, but they appeared for too short a time, so short that Edmondo had no time to catch them .
Edmondo stared blankly at the man, and even forgot to blink.
In the end, it was Anderson's voice that pulled him out of his dazzled thoughts.
"I know he's handsome, but please close your eyes, Dudu, he's your employee, you can't sleep with him." Anderson sighed helplessly, "I understand what you mean, and I understand you, But listen to me, I'm not trying to force you to make that movie, the investor has approached me, but I won't kill you for a little money. I just hope you don't lose your life because you inherited a huge sum of money Direction and the love of movies, you didn’t lose this hobby in the poor jingle before, didn’t you.”
Immediately after Anderson continued to add: "Recently you are not in the right state, Dudu, I am very worried about you. If you don't want to make "Entanglement", well, that's fine, do what you want, don't be idle, count me in Please."
Edmondo was in a daze. He looked over and found that his childhood friend's face was full of sincere concern.
He was helpless.
To be honest, Edmondo has long lost his direction in life.
It is inevitable to live a new life. He has changed his past experience. Now he is rich, has status, and is sought after by others.
But he couldn't explain this, how was he going to tell Anderson?Tell him that he is actually reborn, he has lived a bad life according to his heart in the previous life, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes this time-is that so?
I'm afraid Anderson won't believe it anyway, but will be more worried about his mental state.
and so--
"Okay, I promise you." Edmondo shrugged and pretended to be relaxed, "I will go to make that movie."
The black-haired man next to him suddenly chuckled when he heard his answer, which attracted Edmundo's attention again. He pursed his lips and looked at the man dangerously and vigilantly: "Have we met before, Lucy? ?”
"I don't think so, sir. I've always lived near Wall Street and never been to Los Angeles." The long-haired man replied with a disdainful smile, "Did you mistook me for someone?"
Edmondo was still vigilant. He would not let his guard down just because of the man's one or two answers. He looked at Anderson and asked silently.
"Don't worry, I've already investigated, and his background is clean." Of course, Anderson knew what his friend meant, and he patted Edmundo on the shoulder to reassure him, "With him here, you don't have to worry about investing. , and his commission is not high, as long as 16.5% of the profit, most people in the market start at 20%."
"Excuse me, both of you."
During the conversation between Edmondo and Anderson, the man suddenly interrupted.
"My original words are: My commission is 1/6 of Mr. Edmundo Moreira's total income. Our contract also stipulates this clearly. The period is 13 years and is paid in one lump sum. If the If Mr. Moreira disagrees with the delivery later, I can only take what I want by my own means." He said rationally, "I won't disturb the next conversation between the two of you, please continue."
After speaking, he bowed to Edmundo again, and then left the room calmly.
The atmosphere in the room froze for about half a minute.
"Well, he's kind of creepy." Anderson gave a hard smile, then he waved his hand, "Never mind, let's get back to work."
"I'm going to make that movie, after all, I wrote the script myself." Edmundo replied quickly, trying to draw his attention away from the evil man, "But I have one condition: you have to Go talk to the backers—I'm going to make changes to the script, and I'm going to recast the cast."
"Recast the role?"
"Yes." The white-haired young director put on a slight smile, "The story is completely different, so I hope to open the casting and choose the two most suitable actors to play the pair of brothers."
This sounded reasonable, so Anderson agreed: "No problem, as long as you agree, I will go right away—"
Before he could finish speaking, the phone on the desk rang, and Anderson closed his mouth unhappy to answer the phone.
From the conversation between him and the other side, Edmondo thinks that this should be an internal push call (a well-connected agent contacts the director to recommend his own actors)
"You guessed it right. It's an agent. I don't know where he got the news. He said that if you don't let his actors try, you will regret it." After hanging up the phone, Anderson was in a better mood. When he came to the fax machine, he quickly took a piece of incoming resume information in his hand, "Guess who it is, I'll give you a little hint - child star."
There are too many child stars in Hollywood, Edmondo rolled his eyes: "Don't make me guess, Andy, tell me who it is."
Anderson shook the information in his hand: "It's Edward Furlong, John Connor Jr. in "Terminator 2"."
Oh?
Edmondo raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, and his smile became mocking.
The two people who had feuds in the previous life met again this time. Is it some kind of wonderful fate?
……
"Edward Furlong?" Rui Fan sat on the edge of the bed with one leg bent and raised his eyebrows, "I have the impression that it should be at the Venice Film Festival last year. I met him. The boy was quite shy. At the banquet Basically hiding in the corner, it's his manager, probably his girlfriend who helps him manage his relationships. But to be honest, I think his girlfriend's desire to control is a bit too strong."
"Hmm." Edmundo nodded in response, "That's not what I thought."
After coming out of the office, Edmondo came to Rui Fan's room on the second floor, and Keanu was here too. His room was next door, and the two rooms shared a balcony.Edmondo sat on the carpet and told the two of his experiences just now, such as the strange black-haired man and the script he was going to shoot next.
The three are intimate as if everything went back in time, back to the time when "My Private Idaho" was filmed.
"If I remember correctly, this script was originally for me and Rui Fan to act in, isn't it?" Keanu asked casually, he opened a bag of potato chips and ate it to relieve himself from smoking Thought, "What kind of story is that, I can't remember."
"The story of two brothers who fell in love and killed each other and finally became each other's story. Reality, dark wind." Edmund replied while grabbing potato chips from Keanu's hand, "The style suits you very well, but the characters don't. None of you are suitable for a younger brother who is weak but has a strong heart, and an older brother who looks tough but is fragile like an egg roll."
"That's somewhat offensive." Rui Fan stretched out his foot and lightly kicked Edmundo's elbow, motioning him to give himself a piece of potato chips, he shrugged and said, "Both Keanu and I take our roles seriously. You are such a good actor, you denied it without even letting us try the role, Dudu, you are not qualified as a director."
Hearing this, Edmundo withdrew his hand from handing the potato chips, stuffed them into his mouth in front of Rui Fan, and then gave him a middle finger.
"You want to make me feel guilty, I can see it, give up, little Phoenix, you don't have that chance." The white-haired director raised his chin and said with a little cute arrogance: "My movie, I choose the actors myself, I said you are not suitable, you are not suitable."
"I'm sad, Dudu." Rui Fan exaggeratedly covered his chest, "I'm not suitable, so is Edward Furlong suitable?"
"It's nothing to do with him. I haven't met any actors. Please use your undeveloped brain, Rui Fan." Edmondo made a smirk, "I mentioned Fran because only He has the fastest news, and the phone call is directly at home, not to make an appointment directly behind the scenes, understand?"
Rui Fan pretended to be angry and started a fight with Edmondo.
While arguing, he began to think about Fran. Although the other party is only 17 years old, in the near future, that guy will become the type of person he hates most, a drug addict.
To be honest, Fran is actually very fond of Edmundo, his beauty is different from Leonardo, he looks like he will tempt you to do bad things with simple words, and then put all the responsibility on you One of those rotten aristocratic young masters.
But no.
Like the once decadent Rui Fan, he took | drugs and let himself be addicted to them.Everyone knows how much Hollywood's talented director Edmondo hates drugs, but Edward Furlong dared to bring Ye Ziyan to the set on the day of the audition, and swallowed clouds in front of Edmundo Spit, even in his face - predictable results.
(Edmundo nearly throws Furlong off his set at gunpoint)
Since then, the two have almost become enemies, and when they meet, the whole world will be disturbed.
In the final analysis, it is still the fault of drugs.
Edmondo gritted his teeth, but when he mentioned this question, his eyes rolled——
"It suddenly occurred to me, how is your addiction problem solved?" He stood up, folded his arms and looked at the two of them like a warden, "The testing equipment will arrive in a few days, if I find anyone If he still hides those things privately, I will drive him out of the house."
This sentence silenced the other two in the room at the same time.
Perhaps Edmundo didn't realize that he was not threatening at all, because he mentioned "home".This will be their home from now on, not just a house to live in, but a warm home that can accommodate all of them.
This is more moving than any expression of love in the world.
River Phoenix stood up in silence, and then gave Edmondo a hug full of affection. Edmundo didn't quite understand his sudden sensation, but out of (Aquaman's) politeness, he patted Pat the other person on the back as comfort.
"I will be a good boy and not give you the chance to drive me out of the house." Rui Fan said, he buried the tip of his nose into Edmondo's neck, "Don't leave me."
Before Edmondo could speak, Keanu also stood up.
"Look, how sweet, forget me at this time. Whoever said that I am important, tell me, how can I believe it." He said sourly, "It's also the withdrawal period, Why shouldn't I be rewarded accordingly, it's not fair."
Edmondo: ...
"Okay, okay." Edmondo let go of Rui Fan and turned around to give Keanu a hug, and then he stepped back to the middle, "Listen, stop your favoritism, I have rules, and there are clear rewards and punishments. "
He paused for a moment, then looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's time for dinner," he said. "Let's go. Tell the chef what you want to eat later. I pay them tens of thousands of yuan a month. I don't invite them to be decorations."
They have never been on such a private jet. Although several of them are Hollywood first-line or quasi-first-line stars, with millions of dollars in salary, they still haven't reached the point where they can own a private jet.
Edmundo threw himself on the sofa calmly, and skillfully called the stewardess to pour him the high-strength wine, which is also a unique supply of his family's winery. It is said that the market price of each bottle exceeds [-].
"I can't believe it, this plane is your personal use, isn't it usually used by other people at all?" Keanu walked around the cabin curiously, "I feel like I can hear the sound of coins being lost."
"The sound of coins falling, are you Donald Duck's uncle, Keanu—and I don't know how much it will cost, probably tens of millions." Edmondo drank the high alcohol in his hand, and then Leaning lazily on the leather sofa, "Private jets, pilots, airports, the housekeeper said hundreds of thousands a day."
"That's really expensive." Rui Fan said as he sat down beside Edmondo, put his two legs on his own, and then danced with his fingers on his calf intentionally or unintentionally, "It costs a few times a day. If it’s 50, Dudu, even if you inherit more than [-] billion, it won’t last long.”
Keanu was also about to ask this question, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Edmundo and Rui Fan's intimate movements, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips after turning around twice.
The relationship between Edmondo and Rui Fan is very strange. From the behavior, they seem to be together, but no one admits it. From the feeling, they seem to have only stayed in the ambiguous period.
Edmondo spread his hands: "The money I inherited also includes various real estate and businesses. Those businesses are making money for me as we speak. I don't know more specifically-Keanu you What are you doing standing there, come and sit down."
Hearing Edmondo's call, Keanu recovered from his daze, and he walked over and sat down with complicated eyes.
"Wait, you just said that you gave Anderson the management of all the money." Depp, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked with doubts, "Aren't you worried that he will do something small?"
"He won't, I know him." Edmundo replied without thinking, "I've known him for ten years, and he is even willing to take a bullet for me, and I am willing to do that for him. Anderson is not just My agent and assistant, he's more like my mother and wife combined."

There was a few seconds of silence in the cabin.
"—Is it hard to say on purpose, but I have another question to ask you." Depp opened his mouth slowly, his eyes glanced at Rui Fan and Keanu, "Is there anyone here who has slept with him?"
If this scene is made into a movie, then the tense sound effect will definitely be added at the moment when Depp's voice falls.

Upstairs, the office.
"I can't believe it. This is exactly the same as your office. How did you arrange it?" Edmondo walked around the room curiously. "I already feel oppressed."
"Um, if I don't do this, you will arrange all the rooms as entertainment rooms, and I not only arrange it as an office, but also take over the phone." Anderson rolled his eyes, and then walked to the office Sit down at the table, "Let's talk about the schedule of your new movie. "Entanglement" has been established for almost half a year, and the investors hope to start as soon as possible. It will be March at the latest, and it can't be delayed any longer."
Edmondo did not sit down opposite his friend, but went to the small sofa and threw himself into it.

Anderson was a little angry, but he quickly suppressed those emotions. He sighed and stood up from behind the desk, pressing one of the buttons on the desk phone, like the boss notifying employees to come in—
"Please come in."
Edmondo looked over puzzled: "Who, who did you let in?"
Amidst Anderson's gesture and the sound of elegant leather shoes, a man in a pure black suit walked in, and he bowed slightly to Edmondo who was on the sofa.
"Good day, sir," he said to Edmundo. "I'm Lucy, Lucy Goldson, your financial advisor."
……
The man has black waist-length hair, black eyes, and a handsome face like David's sculpture, and his voice is low, with an inexplicably breathtaking feeling, like a nobleman in the Middle Ages, he is reserved to Edmondo smile.
"you--"
Edmondo was completely stunned. The man in front of him had a strong impact on his brain, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity grew wildly in his subconscious, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find anything related to it. Mark of.
The man named Lucy reminded him of fragments of memories, black feathers mixed with tossing pleasure, they kept flashing in his mind, but they appeared for too short a time, so short that Edmondo had no time to catch them .
Edmondo stared blankly at the man, and even forgot to blink.
In the end, it was Anderson's voice that pulled him out of his dazzled thoughts.
"I know he's handsome, but please close your eyes, Dudu, he's your employee, you can't sleep with him." Anderson sighed helplessly, "I understand what you mean, and I understand you, But listen to me, I'm not trying to force you to make that movie, the investor has approached me, but I won't kill you for a little money. I just hope you don't lose your life because you inherited a huge sum of money Direction and the love of movies, you didn’t lose this hobby in the poor jingle before, didn’t you.”
Immediately after Anderson continued to add: "Recently you are not in the right state, Dudu, I am very worried about you. If you don't want to make "Entanglement", well, that's fine, do what you want, don't be idle, count me in Please."
Edmondo was in a daze. He looked over and found that his childhood friend's face was full of sincere concern.
He was helpless.
To be honest, Edmondo has long lost his direction in life.
It is inevitable to live a new life. He has changed his past experience. Now he is rich, has status, and is sought after by others.
But he couldn't explain this, how was he going to tell Anderson?Tell him that he is actually reborn, he has lived a bad life according to his heart in the previous life, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes this time-is that so?
I'm afraid Anderson won't believe it anyway, but will be more worried about his mental state.
and so--
"Okay, I promise you." Edmondo shrugged and pretended to be relaxed, "I will go to make that movie."
The black-haired man next to him suddenly chuckled when he heard his answer, which attracted Edmundo's attention again. He pursed his lips and looked at the man dangerously and vigilantly: "Have we met before, Lucy? ?”
"I don't think so, sir. I've always lived near Wall Street and never been to Los Angeles." The long-haired man replied with a disdainful smile, "Did you mistook me for someone?"
Edmondo was still vigilant. He would not let his guard down just because of the man's one or two answers. He looked at Anderson and asked silently.
"Don't worry, I've already investigated, and his background is clean." Of course, Anderson knew what his friend meant, and he patted Edmundo on the shoulder to reassure him, "With him here, you don't have to worry about investing. , and his commission is not high, as long as 16.5% of the profit, most people in the market start at 20%."
"Excuse me, both of you."
During the conversation between Edmondo and Anderson, the man suddenly interrupted.
"My original words are: My commission is 1/6 of Mr. Edmundo Moreira's total income. Our contract also stipulates this clearly. The period is 13 years and is paid in one lump sum. If the If Mr. Moreira disagrees with the delivery later, I can only take what I want by my own means." He said rationally, "I won't disturb the next conversation between the two of you, please continue."
After speaking, he bowed to Edmundo again, and then left the room calmly.
The atmosphere in the room froze for about half a minute.
"Well, he's kind of creepy." Anderson gave a hard smile, then he waved his hand, "Never mind, let's get back to work."
"I'm going to make that movie, after all, I wrote the script myself." Edmundo replied quickly, trying to draw his attention away from the evil man, "But I have one condition: you have to Go talk to the backers—I'm going to make changes to the script, and I'm going to recast the cast."
"Recast the role?"
"Yes." The white-haired young director put on a slight smile, "The story is completely different, so I hope to open the casting and choose the two most suitable actors to play the pair of brothers."
This sounded reasonable, so Anderson agreed: "No problem, as long as you agree, I will go right away—"
Before he could finish speaking, the phone on the desk rang, and Anderson closed his mouth unhappy to answer the phone.
From the conversation between him and the other side, Edmondo thinks that this should be an internal push call (a well-connected agent contacts the director to recommend his own actors)
"You guessed it right. It's an agent. I don't know where he got the news. He said that if you don't let his actors try, you will regret it." After hanging up the phone, Anderson was in a better mood. When he came to the fax machine, he quickly took a piece of incoming resume information in his hand, "Guess who it is, I'll give you a little hint - child star."
There are too many child stars in Hollywood, Edmondo rolled his eyes: "Don't make me guess, Andy, tell me who it is."
Anderson shook the information in his hand: "It's Edward Furlong, John Connor Jr. in "Terminator 2"."
Oh?
Edmondo raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, and his smile became mocking.
The two people who had feuds in the previous life met again this time. Is it some kind of wonderful fate?
……
"Edward Furlong?" Rui Fan sat on the edge of the bed with one leg bent and raised his eyebrows, "I have the impression that it should be at the Venice Film Festival last year. I met him. The boy was quite shy. At the banquet Basically hiding in the corner, it's his manager, probably his girlfriend who helps him manage his relationships. But to be honest, I think his girlfriend's desire to control is a bit too strong."
"Hmm." Edmundo nodded in response, "That's not what I thought."
After coming out of the office, Edmondo came to Rui Fan's room on the second floor, and Keanu was here too. His room was next door, and the two rooms shared a balcony.Edmondo sat on the carpet and told the two of his experiences just now, such as the strange black-haired man and the script he was going to shoot next.
The three are intimate as if everything went back in time, back to the time when "My Private Idaho" was filmed.
"If I remember correctly, this script was originally for me and Rui Fan to act in, isn't it?" Keanu asked casually, he opened a bag of potato chips and ate it to relieve himself from smoking Thought, "What kind of story is that, I can't remember."
"The story of two brothers who fell in love and killed each other and finally became each other's story. Reality, dark wind." Edmund replied while grabbing potato chips from Keanu's hand, "The style suits you very well, but the characters don't. None of you are suitable for a younger brother who is weak but has a strong heart, and an older brother who looks tough but is fragile like an egg roll."
"That's somewhat offensive." Rui Fan stretched out his foot and lightly kicked Edmundo's elbow, motioning him to give himself a piece of potato chips, he shrugged and said, "Both Keanu and I take our roles seriously. You are such a good actor, you denied it without even letting us try the role, Dudu, you are not qualified as a director."
Hearing this, Edmundo withdrew his hand from handing the potato chips, stuffed them into his mouth in front of Rui Fan, and then gave him a middle finger.
"You want to make me feel guilty, I can see it, give up, little Phoenix, you don't have that chance." The white-haired director raised his chin and said with a little cute arrogance: "My movie, I choose the actors myself, I said you are not suitable, you are not suitable."
"I'm sad, Dudu." Rui Fan exaggeratedly covered his chest, "I'm not suitable, so is Edward Furlong suitable?"
"It's nothing to do with him. I haven't met any actors. Please use your undeveloped brain, Rui Fan." Edmondo made a smirk, "I mentioned Fran because only He has the fastest news, and the phone call is directly at home, not to make an appointment directly behind the scenes, understand?"
Rui Fan pretended to be angry and started a fight with Edmondo.
While arguing, he began to think about Fran. Although the other party is only 17 years old, in the near future, that guy will become the type of person he hates most, a drug addict.
To be honest, Fran is actually very fond of Edmundo, his beauty is different from Leonardo, he looks like he will tempt you to do bad things with simple words, and then put all the responsibility on you One of those rotten aristocratic young masters.
But no.
Like the once decadent Rui Fan, he took | drugs and let himself be addicted to them.Everyone knows how much Hollywood's talented director Edmondo hates drugs, but Edward Furlong dared to bring Ye Ziyan to the set on the day of the audition, and swallowed clouds in front of Edmundo Spit, even in his face - predictable results.
(Edmundo nearly throws Furlong off his set at gunpoint)
Since then, the two have almost become enemies, and when they meet, the whole world will be disturbed.
In the final analysis, it is still the fault of drugs.
Edmondo gritted his teeth, but when he mentioned this question, his eyes rolled——
"It suddenly occurred to me, how is your addiction problem solved?" He stood up, folded his arms and looked at the two of them like a warden, "The testing equipment will arrive in a few days, if I find anyone If he still hides those things privately, I will drive him out of the house."
This sentence silenced the other two in the room at the same time.
Perhaps Edmundo didn't realize that he was not threatening at all, because he mentioned "home".This will be their home from now on, not just a house to live in, but a warm home that can accommodate all of them.
This is more moving than any expression of love in the world.
River Phoenix stood up in silence, and then gave Edmondo a hug full of affection. Edmundo didn't quite understand his sudden sensation, but out of (Aquaman's) politeness, he patted Pat the other person on the back as comfort.
"I will be a good boy and not give you the chance to drive me out of the house." Rui Fan said, he buried the tip of his nose into Edmondo's neck, "Don't leave me."
Before Edmondo could speak, Keanu also stood up.
"Look, how sweet, forget me at this time. Whoever said that I am important, tell me, how can I believe it." He said sourly, "It's also the withdrawal period, Why shouldn't I be rewarded accordingly, it's not fair."
Edmondo: ...
"Okay, okay." Edmondo let go of Rui Fan and turned around to give Keanu a hug, and then he stepped back to the middle, "Listen, stop your favoritism, I have rules, and there are clear rewards and punishments. "
He paused for a moment, then looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's time for dinner," he said. "Let's go. Tell the chef what you want to eat later. I pay them tens of thousands of yuan a month. I don't invite them to be decorations."
