[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

"So — not only did you go out late night with Leonardo to the movies, but you met Quentin Tarantino, and the two of you are going to work together, right?"

Anderson sat on the single sofa, with one leg crossed over the other's knee, his hands crossed in front of his stomach, his face full of disapproval, like a man who caught his teenage daughter sneaking out over the wall The old mother who met her lover privately.

Edmondo was lying on his side on the couch opposite him, with his head propped up, his face was full of sleepiness, his white hair hanging down his cheeks, and he looked listless.He yawned and waved at Anderson.

"I thought we were going to the cinema to do something hot, but Leo didn't seem to think so. He kept eating popcorn and watching movies. I almost thought he was not interested in me." The white-haired director said He yawned again, and this time tears also flowed down his face. He curled his fingers and wiped away the tears irritably.

Then he continued to add, this time with a complaining tone: "Meeting Quentin is indeed something I didn't expect, but do you know what I didn't expect - he actually pulled me and wouldn't let me go, From the first black-and-white movie in film history to the present, Leo didn’t understand the chronological order of “Pulp Fiction”, and he kept asking him, none of them seemed to care that I was sleepy to death, and the bags under my eyes were about to drop Facts on the ground!"

Anderson seemed to nod his head in pain to comfort his friend, and then continued to cross-examine.

"So that's why you were so irritable when you came back in the morning and scolded everyone?" His leg was a little numb, so he put another leg on it, "Then what about your cooperation?"

Edmondo hammered twice on the sofa. It has been 5 hours since he came back in the morning, but he still feels that he has not gotten enough sleep: "When you are sleepy to a certain level, you will Promise, like put on that Porsche hood when we got back, Leo finally understood what I wanted him to do a few hours ago, so he pulled me to do the full set, and that was the first time I was being fucked Almost fell asleep."

He said with some resentment, and then spread his arms and looked at his friend and manager: "Fortunately, I woke up a little later and drove him back to his crew, but when I was about to go upstairs to sleep, Rui Fan Appeared, he interrogated me like you are now why I didn’t come back all night, of course I would scold him.”

It turned out that this behavior was regarded as an interrogation in Edmondo's eyes. Anderson smiled sheepishly, then cleared his throat, and changed the topic in a caring manner.

"Then let's not talk about what happened yesterday, but let's talk about the arrangements for this year until Christmas. I'll try to talk about it as quickly as possible, so you can catch up on sleep after talking." Anderson took out his notepad from his briefcase and looked through it , The room fell silent for a while, only the sound of pages turning could be heard.

Edmondo frowned and pursed his lips, then turned over to face the back of the sofa. He didn't want his face full of negative emotions to be seen by Anderson. If he saw it, he would definitely ask what happened again, and Edmund Mundo didn't know how to answer.

Nothing happened to him, he just... entered a period of burnout.

It has been less than a year since he was reborn, but his freshness has completely disappeared. Looking at the old street scenes, retro telephone booths, music that doesn't suit his taste, and simple-style video games, Aye Demondo is sick of this era.

Rescuing Rui Fan is really great, and it feels good to be with a man, and it's great to suddenly become rich and have superpowers, but he just doesn't have any interest in anything.

Edmondo knew it was bad, but when he lay in bed with fashion or gossip magazines, he still couldn't help feeling lazy, didn't want to work, it was like lying down and sleeping until the world entered the Internet age when he woke up .

"——From next Wednesday, you will meet with the casting director of "First Fear", and then jointly select a supporting actor. They hope to be a young, cheap actor with acting skills. Wait until October, The review of "Entanglement" is almost finished, and the release and film schedule can be arranged. Universal hopes to catch up with the Thanksgiving schedule, so you have to start promoting it...how did you memorize it all, are you listening to me?"

"Of course." Edmondo waved his hand at his friend behind him, "Choose actors first, then promote and premiere, just do as you said, I think this arrangement is great."

Hopefully a touch of new talent will help him recover from his burnout period.

At the same time, on the set of "Basketball Diary", Leonardo found a Jamaican staff member during his break. What do you mean, this thing weighed on his mind like a fluffy puppy wallowing in him urging him to do it.

"Although I don't know much Portuguese, it's worth a try." The little brother scratched his hair and put on his baseball cap, and asked Leonardo to repeat it several times, "You don't speak clearly, but listen Looks like Dimesitúquieresandar conmigo, doesn't it?"

"Yes, very close!" Leonardo nodded quickly, "What does this sentence mean?"

"It means: tell me, you want to go with me." The Jamaican brother translated, and he gave Leonardo a meaningful look, "It sounds like a lingering love song."

Leonardo didn't respond, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth and the joy in his heart. He pursed his lips to force himself to calm down, and then asked, "What about the other sentence?"

"That sentence is easy to understand, it means: I want to do anything and everything with you." The brown-skinned brother hooked Leonardo's neck and teased him: "I have to tell you, brother, No matter who sings these two songs to you, I guarantee that she must be interested in you."

Leonardo patted his arm and replied reservedly: "I hope so."

No one knew that the world in his heart had been blown into fireworks. He and the puppy were running on the grass, facing the sun.Soon, he recalled the experience of last night. On the way to the cinema, the white-haired director opened his arms against the wind, then looked back at him, and read the two lyrics with him. His eyes were full of concern for himself.

ha!Edmundo really likes me, Leonardo thought.

He thinks he's on the verge of success, Edmondo is going to be his one-man boyfriend soon, and he'll walk past those nasty guys holding his hand, throwing his head up like a complete winner Look at their gritted teeth.

If those people would beg them, he might be kind enough to allow them to hear Edmondo's beautiful voice.

very nice.

……

A week later, Edmundo met with the casting director as agreed, and they talked a lot about the script and character settings. Aaron in "First Fear" was a complete little devil, but at the end of the film screening Before 5 minutes, they couldn't let the audience see the clues. They had to make everyone think that Aaron was a real schizophrenic patient, and the murder was not his fault.

Therefore, what they need is a boy who looks well-behaved, but can become fierce at critical moments.Edmondo once proposed to let Leonardo try, but his appearance has nothing to do with being well-behaved, and Leonardo has been famous for many years, which really does not meet their 'cheap' requirements.

"I think there are a few good ones, like Ryan and Matt. Their acting skills are not bad, and they are the type that can support instant emotional changes." After the audition of a certain teenager, the casting director took the materials of the actors Said to Edmondo, "There is the last one left today, and the information shows that he has just graduated. I'm not sure we can find a suitable one."

Edmondo leaned on the table and yawned a little tiredly.

"Never mind that much, we've seen thousands of boys perform, and this last one is right," he said, "Maybe he's really a rookie, but it doesn't matter, hurry up and end the audition, we'll go back and pick from the tapes." .”

At this time, he had completely forgotten about Edward Norton, which was normal. After watching thousands of well-behaved boys perform in front of him, everyone would have a temporary memory gap.

"Sir, here he is."

The on-site staff knocked on the office door to remind Edmondo and the casting director that they had arrived. Edmundo propped his chin and stared at the white paper on the table without focusing, so the casting director waved at the door, signaling to let The actor comes in.

"Let's skip the tedious self-introduction and start the performance directly."

The boy came in and sat down on the chair in the middle of the room. He put his hands on the table obediently and looked up at the two of them shyly.The casting director's eyebrows twitched. He didn't expect that the last teenager who had just graduated was unexpectedly suitable. Edmondo still didn't look up. He was not very interested, and picked up the ballpoint pen next to him to draw circles on the paper to pass the time.

"Come on, good morning, gentlemen, I... I'm Aaron Luke Stein... er, Stapler, I've been in Chicago for almost two years," the boy stammered, his voice tinged with Some kind of rare softness, "I uh, I'm here...I'm not, not the murderer of the bishop."

He is not the first actor to make Aaron a little stutter, but he is the only one who makes Aaron stutter so naturally, coupled with his harmless face, the casting director is so excited that he almost wants to The decision was made to use the boy in front of him, but he calmed down soon, because they still didn't know how well he grasped the sudden change of mood.

Edmundo didn't notice this, he just thought the boy's voice was very soft and hypnotic.Perhaps because of the video recorder, they could study everyone's performance over and over again and finally select an actor, so he didn't care about his performance.

It's all the fault of the burnout period, not that he is unprofessional.

But suddenly, just like Kentucky was hit by lightning and a tornado at night, Edmondo was grabbed by his collar and pressed back on the back of the chair, and then he was pinched by his jaw and forced to look up.

The brown-haired boy jumped onto the table at some point, his stuttering disappeared, and his aura changed from a shy boy to a street gangster. Documents were scattered all over the place. Edmondo looked at him, the sky and Oceans collide.

"I'm not that bitch Aaron, listen to me you bastard, listen to me carefully, or I'll make you lose your pretty little face forever, understand? Now—look at me! "

Edmondo looked at the younger face than he had imagined, and quietly felt his heart beating faster.

"This is awesome. I like the live performance of the actors the most. You are very good, Edward Norton." He gently held the opponent's hand, then turned his head to look at the casting director who was already stunned beside him, "I I think we found the perfect actor, what do you think?"
