[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

It's 8 o'clock in the morning, and Edmondo is sitting in the back seat of a car. The destination is the airport, and the next step is to take a private jet to San Francisco's Silicon Valley.The white-haired director yawned, then wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and propped his head up to look out of the window. As the scene changed, his eyes could hardly be opened.

Edmondo regretted agreeing to Anderson's request to meet the founder of Netflix together. If it wasn't for this meeting, he should have stayed in the big soft bed and enjoyed sleep.Rui Fan didn't know what stimulated him, and he was in a terribly depressed mood last night. After returning home, he almost broke into Edmondo's room and dragged him until it was almost 2 o'clock in the morning.

This directly caused him to be terribly sleepy now.

"Please, Eddie, you are sober, you are going as an investor today, pay attention to your image." The front co-pilot Anderson turned his head and persuaded Edmundo, "Did you stay up late again yesterday, I told you to get up early today, and you promised, how—”

"Please, don't make any more noise, Andy, my head is about to explode." Edmondo directly interrupted his friend's chanting. If he didn't do this, Anderson's mother would keep talking until It disturbed him, "It's not that I want to stay up late on purpose, if you have to blame someone, go to Rui Fan."

"No, don't, I don't want to get involved in your emotional life. Don't always put the blame on others. With your ability, he can still force you?" Anderson turned to Edmondo in the rearview mirror She rolled her eyes, and then looked at the other person sitting in the back row, "Lu Xi, talk to him, don't let him fall asleep."

Edmondo propped his swollen head and looked to the side, only then remembered that the financial advisor got into the same car as him.

"Uh——" he squeezed the space between his brows, "don't talk to me Lucy, I swear, if you give me any more headaches, I'll fire you. I don't care if there is a breach of contract clause in the contract. Do you understand? ?”

The aristocratic black-haired man maintained his usual contemptuous expression for a moment, then slowly said: "Maybe you can sleep for a while, I think it will be good for the state when we meet later."

"Thank you!" Edmond gave his friend a complaining look, "Listen, this is justified."

He took the pillow by his ear and was about to find a comfortable position to lean on. At this moment, Lu Xi who was next to him cleared his throat.

"I think you can lie down directly, which is more comfortable." He smiled and pointed to his thigh, "I don't mind if you borrow it temporarily."

Edmondo hesitated for a moment, and to be honest, he hadn't let go of his guard against the man in front of him.

but--

He was really sleepy now.

"Okay, that's it."

Edmundo agreed, but he hadn't let his guard down completely, so he dropped the pillow on Lucy's lap before he slept on it.

"I'll just sleep for a while and call me later."

The dark-haired man had no objection to this. He stroked Edmundo's hair like a pet, and then nodded.

"Go to sleep."

……

Perhaps because Edmundo was tired enough, he quickly fell asleep. In his dream, he returned to that dark and gorgeous palace again, and the scene was similar to last time.It's just that the throne in the middle is gone, replaced by a misty bath emitting light, and beautiful patterns like spells are engraved on the edge of the pool.

Edmondo stood not far away with a dazed expression.

"Why do you always keep me waiting, boy. Come here, come to the pool, and I will teach you new tricks in the water." The devil is still a black-haired man, half of his body is submerged in the pool water, and his long hair is wet scattered around. "We must speed up the progress, that nasty white-haired idiot even came to me to show off and he is about to win." The man continued to order impatiently, "I will never lose to him, you must fall to him according to my plan look."

Edmundo didn't know what the man meant, nor did he know what he was doing. He only understood one thing, and that was to obey orders.He walked over and slowly entered the pool.The water was so deep that Edmondo couldn't reach the bottom with his toes, but he had to follow orders, so he swam towards the man with difficulty.

Just when his fingers were about to touch the man's arm, something snake-shaped flew under the pool, and the cold and sticky thing wrapped around his ankle, dragging him into the pool without giving him any time to react. In the pool.

It was only then that Edmondo saw clearly that the pool was bottomless, and there was a black hole underneath, and indescribable things flashed quickly.

The devil fished him out of the water before the things could completely entangle him.

"I'm sorry, I forgot they were still there." The man looked at Edmondo, who was hanging on his wings and coughed, and apologized without sincerity, and then he moved his wings and put his human back on the edge of the pool, "I've already started A little bored, let's hurry up, time is running out."

……

Edmondo woke up from the dream. He vaguely remembered that it was a weird dream, but he couldn't remember the specific content at all.

"Have you had a nightmare?"

Suddenly there was a voice of concern around him, and Edmondo looked over subconsciously. Lucy, who was dressed in black, was smiling at him with hot tea. There was something else in this smile, like flirting, or something darker. mood.

Edmondo frowned: "You—"

But just when he was about to ask something, Anderson walked over from the side.

"You've been asleep for a long time." He teased and handed over a glass of iced drink, "Have something to drink, Dudu, we're almost there."

Coming soon?Where are you?To San Francisco?

Edmondo looked around suspiciously, only to realize that he was already in the cabin at an altitude of 1 meters, with an expensive carpet under his feet, and a simple coffee table customized by a well-known designer in front of him. On the coffee table was a The clock shows that it is [-] o'clock in the afternoon.

"I thought you were very tired, so I didn't wake you up." Lucy explained slowly, "You slept for 5 hours, if you can, you should move around before getting off the plane to avoid discomfort after getting off the plane."

Edmondo looked at the man suspiciously, but he couldn't find any flaws, so he had no choice but to look back and stand up, tentatively moving around in the cabin.

To his surprise, he felt extra refreshed after a good night's sleep, and he didn't feel tired at all.

"strangeness……"

……

The trip to Silicon Valley was not as interesting as Edmundo had imagined. After lunch, they boarded a private car that had been arranged in advance and met Hastings.Less than 5 minutes later, Edmondo's mind was full of the outside world, but Lucy chatted with him very happily. During the conversation, Edmundo could only occasionally understand a few nouns, such as "computer" "Network" and "website", and the rest sounded like a bible to him.

The same is true of Anderson, but he can at least seem to be listening carefully. After 10 minutes, Edmundo has already laid down on the table and started to use the ballpoint pen in the conference room to make a villain on the back of his hand.

The meeting went on for two hours and nothing about Netflix was mentioned at all. God knows how Edmundo persisted.

Finally, the negotiation was concluded, the two parties got up and shook hands, and Edmondo readily signed the contract with money.

Just when he thought it had nothing to do with Netflix this time—

"Mr. Moreira's directorial work is really wonderful. I watched it at least 5 times in the cinema, and then I rented the DVD to go home and watch it again. It really resonated with me. You deserve the Oscar. .” Hastings praised, although he is suspected of pleasing investors, but his attitude is sincere and not like telling lies.

Then he showed a helpless smile and said: "The movie is a good movie, but the current DVD rental service is really bad. I left your DVD at home and forgot to extend the time, so it added 50 yuan to my bill. Blockbuster is really nothing."

Oh hoo.

Edmondo frowned.

Isn't Netflix's online idea here?

So he pulled Hastings to sit down again, and began to discuss how to upgrade the DVD rental business. Edmund guided him a little bit to transfer his thinking to online. Combined with the DVD that was just released not long ago, it was very The business-minded Hastings' eyes lit up.

Four and 10 minutes later, Edmondo has managed to secure a place on the fledgling Netflix founding team.

……

It has been a day since the end of the Oscars, and Edmondo has not returned from San Francisco. In the manor, Keanu and Rui Fan sat idly at the two ends of the sofa, thinking about each other.

: Keanu was thinking about the reason and meaning of Edmondo on the Oscar podium, while Rui Fan was thinking about what he heard in the hallway last night and what he had with Edmondo when he came back. Things to do on the room carpet.

For a while neither of them spoke, until the bell rang at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Keanu came back to his senses, cleared his throat and spoke first.

"Rui Fan, you and I both went to the Oscars, what do you think he was thinking when he came on stage?"

River Phoenix didn't answer, he was still immersed in his own small world, and different images were switched back and forth in his mind last night.Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Keanu leaned over and snapped his fingers a few times in front of his eyes, and then patted his shoulder to bring him back to his senses.

"——What's wrong?" Rui Fan came back from his trance and asked.

"I'm asking you something," Keanu said, "I told you in advance that everything was going on at the Oscars. Tell me why."

"—How would I know what he thinks." Rui Fan frowned and replied, "You should ask him yourself."

Keanu Reeves spread his hands: "If he was here, of course I would choose to ask him, but isn't he not here?"

Rui Fan didn't have the heart to think about it, he waved his hand irritably and then fell silent.The black-haired young man keenly sensed that something was wrong with his friend, but he decided to keep everything in his heart, wait and see for a while before pointing it out, so he put on a rather relaxed expression, turned on the TV and started watching.

But apparently he miscalculated.

It was less than 48 hours before the end of the Oscars, and the TV was full of relevant news, and the most eye-catching one this year was undoubtedly Edmondo.

[Madman director, a young man who looks down on Oscar, but also a talented and beautiful boy]

Keanu Reeves pointed the middle finger at the TV show, then changed the channel.

However, the above news is much the same as before.

[Arrogance or hype, I will take you to dig into the every move of the talented director Edmondo who turned out in the past two years at this year's Oscars]

He blew the hair hanging down his forehead, and then changed the channel.

[Edmundo Moreira's rebellious behavior sparked a frenzy among fans——]

Fortunately, he was finally able to find a TV program that was not broadcasting Oscar scenes, but this time it was a random interview on the side of the road. Following the host's narration, the camera was aimed at the street, and a lot of frenzy appeared on both sides of the road Fans, with streamers and face paint, chanted Edmondo and the name of that movie.

Some people even put up banners to express their support for Edmondo running for governor or congressman.

"Edmondo! I love you! Your work is beyond everything! I miss you so much! Come see me, I will give myself to you! All of me!"

A pale and thin boy shouted wildly at the camera. In order to attract the audience, the TV station and photographers did not give up and continued. Soon, the boy’s voice attracted more people, and they imitated him to express their enthusiasm for the Brazilian director to the camera. .

Keanu shivered, and pressed the mute button with an incomprehensible expression.

"This is too much, I can't believe it, Dudu——these fans are like gangsters, they almost want to support Dudu as a god." He commented with a complex expression, "Rui Fan, you What do you think?"

However, Rui Fan still didn't reply, his eyes were fixed on Edmondo receiving the award in the replay on the screen, his expression was dim.

The next second was very sudden, as if he was talking to himself: "He likes Dudu."

"Huh?" Keanu looked over, "Who?"

Rui Fan lowered his head, ignored his friend, and still said to himself: "He must have fallen in love with him, that kind of tone, you can't go wrong."

"What," Keanu frowned, "Who are you talking about??"

This time Rui Fan finally raised his head, but he was still talking to himself: "No, I won't allow anyone to make everyone serious, I have to take action."

"God! Rui Fan!" Keanu jumped up from the sofa frantically, "Who are you talking about!!!"

It wasn't until Keanu's voice was loud enough to disturb the pigeons in the garden that Rui Fan came back to look at him. The blond young man licked his dry lips, and answered the question quite easily.

"Leonardo," he said, "that guy's mind is not simple. I saw it when I was in France."

Keanu Reeves was taken aback.

"That little Hollywood angel who wants us to learn?" After scratching his chin lightly, the black-haired young man showed an inquiring look, "Then if he and Du get together, who will be on top?"

Rui Fan: ...

Or Rui Fan:?

"I didn't want you to pay attention to this, Kiki! God! What are you thinking!" Rui Fan angrily threw the cushion next to Keanu on Keanu's face, "I told you this to ask you to help think about it!" How to prevent that kind of situation from happening, it’s not that you want to be obsessed with Leonardo—by the way, he likes to be in the top position, but he doesn’t like that kind of top position.”

"Relax, Rui Fan. I'm just saying that, there's no other meaning, don't you think they all look more—er, how to put it, the aura is stronger when they stand together, although Leonardo's height is a The advantage is very weak." The black-haired youth argued.

Seeing that Rui Fan showed signs of continuing to get angry, Keanu didn't worry about it any more. He raised his hands in front of his chest to signal his harmlessness, and then added: "Don't blame me for saying that, because you didn't tell me the whole thing from the beginning to the end. Everything, no beginning and no end: Leonardo is in love with everything, how do you want me to help you analyze this."

Moreover, he also had some unusual feelings for that white-haired figure, so there was nothing to analyze.

Of course, Keanu said the last sentence in his heart, he didn’t want Rui Fan to fall into some emotional vicious circle because of him, his addiction just got better, and——Edmundo also hoped so, didn’t he ?

Where Rui Fan couldn't see, the black-haired young man sighed.

"Okay, tell me what you heard last night that made you think that guy fell in love with him." He asked, pinching his temple. "How do you want me to help you?"

Before Rui Fan could answer, footsteps came from the stairs suddenly, and a black figure ran down quickly.

It was Edward Furlong, which was odd, since River and Keanu hadn't seen him outside of dinner since he moved in.

"Hey, Edward, what's the matter with going out so late?"

However, the gloomy boy didn't answer their questions and just walked with his head down. After a few seconds, he disappeared from the sight of the two, and then there was a sound at the door, which sounded like he had left the house.

The two looked at each other, and neither of them knew what happened.

Coincidentally, Edmundo came back in less than 2 minutes, and he almost walked in with Fran. He walked in with joy and joy visible to the naked eye with a cheerful tone.

"Good evening, my friends—" He came to the edge of the sofa, gave Rui Fan and Keanu each a kiss on the cheek, and then sat down on the side sofa in a very flamboyant posture (it was almost It’s his exclusive seat), Edmondo crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, and his legs were raised on the coffee table, just like a godfather, "You may not believe me, I just have a future!"

Edmondo raised his head, ready to receive compliments. Regarding the future, the two people in front of him knew nothing about it.

"Congratulations on making a big deal, Dudu, I believe you will soon become a successful entrepreneur." Rui Fan said in a well-mannered manner, but soon he changed the topic, "But what I want to ask Yes - when are you going to start filming that movie, we still have a Disney agreement to fulfill, I will arrange the time."

(Keanu: "What? When did you say you were going to Disney, why didn't I know?")

"We whispered it on the day of the Oscars." Edmondo simply explained, he looked at Rui Fan with an apologetic expression, "Sorry Rio, I have to start fulfilling the contract this weekend before the release of "Total Eclipse of Heart" Thanks to Oscar, distributors from all over the world have already contacted the company, and then I will travel all over the world, and when I get back, I will start filming a new film, which will last until May, at least."

"Then you're really busy." Keanu sighed.

"Isn't it?" Edmondo shrugged, "Although I'm rich now, I still can't escape to work. This guy Anderson is afraid that I'll stay at home and grow moldy and hairy."

Then he and Keanu chatted up and down.

But Rui Fan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted the chat between the two of them. He was holding a pillow in his arms, with an extremely natural concern on his face.

"So—will Leonardo be there by then, I mean the publicity?"

This seemed to remind Edmondo, he immediately realized how troublesome it was, and less than half a month after he drew a line with the delicate boy, he had to work with him again up.

"Yes, he is the leading actor, of course he will go." Edmund scratched his hair anxiously and said, "This is really troublesome, I have to find a way to get rid of him."

The phrase 'get rid of him' made Keanu raise his eyebrows, and at this moment, Rui Fan showed that kind of friendly and caring smile and spoke again.

"Then why don't you take me with you, Dudu."

Edmundo looked at him, and was about to agree, when he suddenly thought of how the person in front of him treated him the night before he went to San Francisco. If he still wants to find someone who can give him happiness all over the world, Rui Fan's existence will definitely make him happy. It will be a big obstacle, so when the words come to the mouth, turn around and come out again, it becomes a rejection.

"That's not necessary, you stay at home and have a good rest." He said, "Running all over the world is very tiring."

Rui Fan's eyes darkened.

"Is it because of Leonardo?" He asked in a deep voice, "Because he is here, so you don't want me to go."

Edmondo: ...

Very good, he knows what Rui Fan wants to do next.

"Are you trying to quarrel?"
