[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

Prison || Prohibition of minors?This is a serious allegation.

"Are you sure, Andy, are they going to sue me? Or for such a nonsense reason?" Edmundo stood still and looked at the agent with arms crossed in disbelief, "By the way, Fran's custody is still in place. Isn't it in his own hands?"

"He's 17, what do you think?" Anderson rolled his eyes with an exasperated smirk. "The lawsuit between him and his parents has been going on since he became famous until now. This year is the last chance to fight for his custody and get some benefits."

"—Okay, I understand, but what does it matter to me?" Edmondo shrugged and led Anderson to the bar. The bartender poured them two glasses of simple whiskey, and he sat on the tall pedestal. Chair, "I am a kind person who took him in. Instead of thanking me for keeping the child from sleeping in the bridge hole, they even sued me. What's the point?"

Jim Rose was left out for a while, but the Italian was not discouraged. He then came to the seat next to Edmondo and sat down, ordered a glass of wine and waited quietly.

Anderson made a few disdainful nasal voices: "Because good-hearted people will only let him sleep on the sofa instead of providing him with a 60-square-meter ultra-luxury room. I told you a long time ago to be careful not to bring anyone with you. Go home, you look at now."

Compared to the anxiety of his manager friend, Edmundo seemed very relaxed, as if this was nothing at all.

"Relax, Andy, who will give the sex a good house to live in, provide three meals, and not restrict freedom." Edmondo waved his hand and explained: "Fran was kicked out of the house by his girlfriend, they don't To sue his agent's ex-girlfriend, to sue me? And although he is a minor, he is over 16 years old, and he is legally responsible for his actions."

"Don't tell me, tell the judge and the jury!" Anderson waved his hand irritably, he pursed his lips and looked at his friend, "Can't you see it, Dudu, it's not what you did or didn't do Well, now that Fran's parents are fighting for custody of him, they're going to have to have a villain in front of a jury to reap the title of 'Responsible Parent,' and you're the one they picked."

Edmondo wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and found that he had nothing to say.

This thing is so stupid, really, normal people can't think of such logic at all, but—looking at it in the legal environment of the United States, it seems so normal, he pursed his lips, leaking a kind of logic A little frustrated expression.

"So, they label me because they want to get a compensation from me first, and then use the good reputation they get from me to win the custody of Fran, so that he can completely become a tool for them to make money." Edmondo concluded road.

"Yes, that sums it up pretty well." Anderson nodded heavily. "What shall we do now?"

"What should I do?" The white-haired director sneered, "If they want to file a lawsuit, they should fight with them and hire the best lawyer. I not only want to protect my reputation, but I also want to get Fran's custody back for him. , while sending his disgusting parents to jail—I can't believe they didn't do anything illegal in private."

Anderson sighed and said that he would do it right away.

"Speaking of Edward, what about the others, does he know about this?" Edmondo asked, "Let's go back and tell him to prepare him—"

Before he finished speaking, a familiar female voice from the door interrupted his train of thought, and it happened to be particularly ear-piercing in the gap between the two pieces of music.

"I told you that it's for your own good! But you just don't stop, do you really think that rogue director is doing it for your own good? No! He's just plotting against you! I have to let you see clearly today!"

"It's not necessary, Jackie, you just enjoy the feeling of manipulating me. I don't know what Edmondo has in mind for me, but at least he never cares what I wear tomorrow or what I eat tonight! I'm leaving, let me go--"

Edmondo followed the voice, and Fran and his ex-girlfriend walked in.

"Speak of thedevil, I just mentioned Fran, and Fran appeared by himself. What kind of treasure trove is the Viper House? Both of them love to run here." He shook the glass to make the ice cubes in it collide with each other, and then rushed at the two The man waved his hand, "Hey Edward! This way!"

……

Edward Furlong heard the call and looked over, and was meeting Edmondo's eyes. He panicked for a moment, and then resolutely gave up entanglement with Jacqueline and walked quickly to Edmondo.

"I'm sorry, director, I didn't run out on purpose." Fran said apologetically, "Jacqueline didn't know and thus got your home phone number. She told me that I forgot something at her place, and lied to her If I'm sick, I'll—"

Edmondo waved his hand, he was not interested in why Fran was here.

"I don't limit your freedom, you can go wherever you want, you don't need to apologize to me." He said, "But I do have something to ask you for proof-your parents are going to sue me for your imprisonment|| , do you know about this?"

"What!" Fran opened his eyes wide in shock, as if confirming the authenticity, but soon, the expression on his face became resentful and embarrassed, "I know the two of them will do something disgusting, but I didn't know they were disturbing like this!" He bit his lower lip and said, "Sorry, I'll take care of it."

"How do you solve it? I don't have custody rights for minors." Edmondo chuckled, "Don't worry, your wonderful parents can't hurt me. By the way, how about I help you get custody rights?" .”

Fran froze.

However, at this moment, Jacqueline walked over proudly.

"I almost missed you, Mr. Director, is life going well? I think your smile will disappear from your pretty little face soon." She mocked maliciously, "I said that you will pay The price, maybe you don’t know, we have very strict laws on minors here, and judges like you who abduct minors will never show mercy—forgot to ask, have you received a court summons?”

Edmondo narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Is this your fault?"

"Yes, I exposed you." Jacqueline raised her chin proudly. "You abducted a minor, deceived him, and attempted to control his personal freedom. You will go to jail for this."

Edmondo sneered loudly, this woman can really distort the facts.

"But you are the one who has been with him. You are the one who abducted minors, and you not only abducted minors, but also slept with minors. Am I right, Miss Jacqueline?"

Jacqueline blushed.

"He is voluntary! We really love each other!" She retorted loudly, "Even if we are now in the stage of quarreling and breaking up, we cannot deny that we were once in love!"

"Don't forget, he's a minor, and when he was with you he was—I think, ha! He was only 15 years old at the time, and he couldn't tell what love was from what was taken advantage of." Edmund Point out the problem more sharply, "And you are an adult, not only did you not stop his deformed feelings, you also helped him to abuse him, and I was just a kind person who helped that boy. How dare you say that I abducted a minor? .”

"Shut up!" Jacqueline was mad, and she screamed at Edmondo, "YOUWHORE!"

As she spoke, she was about to rush up and slap him on the face.

To be honest, this kind of petty fight can't hurt him at all, Edmundo rolled his eyes in his heart, and prepared to avoid the slap before it fell (it's really unnecessary to fight Jacqueline for this kind of thing)

But Fran made the first move before it happened. He grabbed Jacqueline by the wrist and pulled her back hard, putting distance from Edmondo.

"That's enough Jacqueline!" Fran threw her aside angrily, "I'm not a child, I can tell who is nice to me, we're done! Don't pester me anymore!"

Jacqueline raised her arm in disbelief, and there was a circle of inconspicuous red marks on the wrist grabbed by Fran.

"You dare to hit me, Edward Furlong! You actually started to use violence, and you were really brainwashed by him!" Her chest heaved violently, "You can't get back your custody, just fight against violence. One point is enough to explain the problem! And I have more evidence to provide to the judge, just wait!"

After speaking, Jacqueline turned her head and walked out through the door.

Perhaps it was because of her overconfident attitude that Fran really began to worry about whether he would be deprived of guardianship due to his performance just now. He looked at Edmondo helplessly.

"what should I do?"

"You don't have to do anything, honey. Go back and have a good sleep, I'll take care of this." Edmondo signaled Anderson to send Fran back to rest, "Jacqueline's performance just now, she is the one The violent one, so you don't have to worry about it."

Fron still looked worried, but said nothing more, he nodded and followed Anderson away.

Quietness returned to Edmondo's side. He lost his strength and slumped on the bar counter. He hooked his fingers and asked the bartender to mix a glass of after-drink with a higher alcohol concentration.

"It's my time now, isn't it, Edmondo." Jim Ross knocked on the table and asked with a smile, "Continue?"

Edmondo turned sideways and propped his chin to look over: "If you want—"

However, at this moment, a huge force grabbed his collar and pulled him off the high chair. Before he could realize what happened, he was stunned by the loud condemnation .

"Edmundo! How could you do that!"

Edmondo looked up and met River Phoenix's eyes mixed with sadness, disappointment and anger.

"What happened—"

Before he could speak his question, Keanu rushed over, and with him was River's younger brother, Joaquin Phoenix, who was looking at him with disgust.

And then Edmondo understood it all.

He loosened his collar irritably: "Listen to me, little Phoenix, I—"

"Shut up!" Rui Fan interrupted him roughly: "I just want to know the truth! Joaquin said that you gave my mom $500 million as a reward for not 'harassing' me anymore, is that true?"

Edmondo: "Well, it's a little complicated, but—"

"No, it's not complicated at all!" Rui Fan looked like he was about to cry, "Whether you gave it or not, I only need one answer!"

Edmondo pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds and nodded with difficulty.

"I gave your mother 500w. That's when I just brought you back from the brink of death. In the hospital, she asked you to continue working, otherwise your whole family will have no food." He explained with some self-deprecation , "What else can I do? Letting you go back to work with a toxic||addicted body and die on set, I don't think so."

"Then should I say thank you!" Rui Fan opened his eyes wide in shock, "What do you think I am, a slave? Buy me from my mother for 500w, do you think so?"

"Howthefu*k—" Edmondo frowned with a puzzled expression, "Your family needs money, you need self-cultivation, am I doing it wrong?"

"Big mistake!" Rui Fan retorted loudly, suddenly raising his voice made him lack of oxygen for a moment, which caused some stars to appear in front of his eyes, then he took a deep breath, turned and ran towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Leave me alone!" he shouted while running, "anywhere is better than here, at least no one wants to buy me!"

River Phoenix's rebellious behavior stunned Edmondo, but just as he was about to follow, Keanu stopped him.

"Don't go." The black-haired young man smiled with difficulty, "He's still angry, you only intensified the conflict in the past."

"What kind of anger is this?" Edmundo couldn't understand at all. He blew on the loose hair in front of his eyes. "If someone offered me 500w to let me leave the fucking family, I would not refuse, but I would also be grateful to him."

"But you're not him." Keanu sighed, "Don't go, I beg you. I promise he'll figure it out and go home tonight, he's just a little angry at you for not telling him, he still loves You, I love you too."

Edmondo froze for a moment, then paced around irritably.

A part of him wanted to push Keanu away to catch up with Rui Fan and explain to him clearly, a part of him wanted to forget about it and stay drinking and dancing to indulge himself, the two sides kept fighting, they were evenly matched.

"What happened, Hey Dudu, why do you look weak, it's not like you!"

Edmondo looked up, and Depp, who was smelling of rum, and his friend (Marilyn Manson), who was wearing strange and heavy makeup, walked over supporting each other. He smiled a little silly, and stretched out his hand The corners of Demondo's mouth curled up.

"I know what can make you happy!" He said, waving his hand, and asked the waiter not far away to decorate the venue, "Look at what I have newly decorated for this place——mechanical bull!"

As the lights shone past, a circular field that simulated a bullring appeared in front of everyone, and there was a burst of cheers mixed with whistles in the Viper House.

"I know you're the best at this game, all of them!" Depp cupped his hands to his mouth like a trumpet, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first cowboy tonight, who just won the Oscar Edmondo! Can he conquer this raging bull! Let's wait and see!"

Edmund opened his mouth and said nothing in the end, but it was clear that the part of his mind that wanted to drink, dance and indulge himself gradually gained the upper hand.

Getting mad at someone for being ungrateful wasn't something he would do, he thought.

So, to hell!

During the second round of cheers from the audience, Edmondo took off his coat with a flamboyant smile and walked over to the fake cow, but before he could step over the fence, he called Keanu and Jim to him to be intimate and intimate. | Whispering ignorantly.

"I'd like to ride something tonight besides the dummy cow, so -- gentlemen, make up your mind before I come down."
