[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

After finishing the shooting in Manhattan quickly, Edmondo handed over the editing tasks to the editors in the group, and then went to Scotts Valley, California, on the west coast of California with Edmondo, where is the current headquarters of Netflix. Silicon Valley is very progressive. According to Reed-Hastings, setting the headquarters here will help to confuse their business competitors.

In addition to his friend and agent Anderson, financial advisor Lucy, and assistant Michelle, Edmondo also brought Edward Norton. The teenagers looked forward to their date from the start of filming to the end of filming, and finally waited for dinner In the end, the opportunity was forced to be canceled due to work, so in order to compensate him, the white-haired director invited him to California for vacation.

Of course, on the surface, it is still necessary to focus on work.

After a six-hour flight and drive that afternoon, they finally arrived at the Netflix headquarters. This was the first time Edmondo had seen the building after establishing the project with Hastings. Reed-Hass Tings was waiting at the gate, and beside him stood a young man with signs of baldness. Edmondo also knew him, and another founder of Netflix, Mark Randolph.

Compared with Hastings, Randolph has a sharper sense of the market. It was his idea to focus on original dramas and grab business from traditional Hollywood manufacturers in the later transformation. Edmondo liked to chat with him in his previous life. Get some fresh and quirky gossip.

Randolph is a very enthusiastic person. As soon as several people sat down in the meeting room, he couldn't wait to get straight to the topic.

"This attempt at the sale was simply unexpected. I never thought that people's love for gossip could be transformed into wealth in another way, but seriously Mr. Moreira, your trial was really exciting. It can be said It is my favorite 'movie' to watch this year." Mark Randolph made no secret of his love for the white-haired director. He patted the table and suggested with some excitement: "We should seize this opportunity to let people notice What do you think of our company launching another trial to reveal the secrets?"

Get people's attention with gossip's gossip?Edmondo didn't think it was a good idea, and it didn't do any good except make the company low-level entertainment.

"Think again, Mark, Netflix is ​​positioned as an online disc rental company, not a gossip entertainment newspaper linked to Hollywood." Edmondo responded in a relaxed tone, "We can adopt a monthly membership system for renting discs. It's like eating a buffet, everyone thinks they can get their money back, but in fact—”

Gossip is always there, and they don't have to worry about it.

For example, the intern in the White House will soon be cheating, and the hearing will be able to generate a wave of traffic. It is estimated that the number of CDs sold will be much higher than Edmundo's trial.

"Monthly membership?" Mark Randolph was puzzled at first, but soon realized that he became excited, and turned to discuss the feasibility of this matter with Hastings.

After a while, he looked back at Edmundo: "Well, that's a pretty cool idea, you think—"

Edmondo interrupted his inquiry by raising his hand.

"That's just my very small idea, and it's only at the theoretical stage. You'll have to talk to Lucy and Anderson about the details later." He stood up and stretched his waist, and turned to the well-behaved waiter not far away. Norton hooked his fingers, "Go ahead, just call me back to sign after the negotiation is over, let's go, Ed."

Like he said, he only takes care of the easiest part of the job (paying for it).

After coming out of the Netflix headquarters, Norton let out a long sigh of relief, and then he took Edmondo to the mobile food truck in the park to sit down, ordered two bottles of iced Coke while drinking and chatting, and he became cheerful after leaving the set Many, the content of the chat is no longer limited to movies and filming, and getting along with Edmondo is closer to peers.

"Oh my god, I can't believe it. Just now I participated in the meeting of tens of millions of projects. Although I was just listening in, but--wow." Norton tapped the glass bottle in his hand regularly with his fingers, and at the same time expressed surprise He looked over to Edmondo, "When I was your age, I was still fooling around with my friends, often staying in billiard halls and street basketball courts, and you are ready to enter the Internet industry, God."

Edmundo bit his straw and was about to respond casually, but suddenly stopped, "What did you mean when you said 'I was your age'?" He asked suspiciously, "I misunderstood Yet?"

"No, that's right, literally." Norton shrugged and replied with a smile, "I was born in 69, and I'm 25 years old this year. I thought you knew, Mr. Director."

Edmondo couldn't believe his ears. In his previous life and this life, he had always thought that Edward Norton and Leonardo were less than 2 years apart in age.

"I don't believe it!" He said "Teng" and stood up suddenly, then leaned over and squeezed Norton's jaw to carefully examine his face from side to side, "Your face will be 25 years old?"

Norton smiled slightly.

"It's absolutely true." He said, stretching out his hand to hold Edmondo's hand on his chin. "Do I need to show my driver's license for confirmation?"

The sudden emotion made Edmondo stop in place, he blinked slowly, and looked up at the large dazzling golden color, and met Norton's gaze. The California sunshine in July is notoriously strong, and the smallest particles in the air can't hide under the irradiation. They float around the two of them, becoming the best helper to set off the atmosphere.None of them are people who can wait patiently, so kissing becomes natural.

"It's kind of weird." Edmondo straightened up and took two steps back after leaving Norton's lips. "I must say—kissing you feels like doing something immoral."

"Why do you say that?"

"You look so young, my dear." Edmondo gave him a 'true' smile, "It feels like kissing a high school student, I guarantee that if we were in the city center just now, there must be The police came out and asked me what happened."

After listening to Edmundo's explanation, Norton became very frustrated. He stamped his feet in frustration, and then shrugged as if he had seen too much.

"You're not the first to say that, director. In fact, I've been rejected for the same reason since I was in college." He said helplessly, "Although I can get the role of Aaron It has a lot to do with my face, but still...maybe in another ten years or so, I won't have to worry about wrinkles when I have wrinkles."

Said Edward Norton covered his face, looking like he was about to cry.

Edmondo couldn't see this, so he quickly walked over to hold his face and kissed the corner of his mouth to comfort him.

"Don't worry, my dear, there's nothing wrong with babyface. When your peers get old, you'll still be the same as when you were young." He kissed all the way up, leaving countless light kisses on Norton's cheek, "You've already Being an adult and having sex|life is your right under the law, I think we can get this sorted out, come on, let's try again."

Encouraged by a series of kisses, Norton finally cheered up. He looked at Edmondo who was squatting in front of him and nodded.

"Well, do it again."

But just when they were planning to kiss for the second time, a kitten's cry came from the bushes not far away. The sound was not loud, even weak, but it was enough to interrupt the gradual progress between the two. Ambiguous atmosphere.

Edmondo got off Norton, and they opened the bushes to check together. There was a brand new cardboard box where the sound came from. Inside the box were 5 cats that were less than the size of an ordinary person's palm, and one of them had a sticker on its back. A note.

"Is this abandoned?" Norton carefully took down the note and read it, he pursed his lips, "What should we do now, these little guys can't stay here anymore, the sun in California is too much, they will Dehydrated to death."

"You've stumped me, my dear. Small animals are beyond my scope." Edmundo shrugged. "Take them to the house first, get some water or milk, and then we'll figure out a solution."

Norton nodded, and then worked together with Edmondo to take the cardboard box out of the bushes and took it to the Netflix building for a temporary settlement. Just as the two squatted in front of the box and didn't know what to do, they were still in a meeting not long ago. Several people walked down.

Anderson, Hastings, and Randolph walked in front, chatting as they went downstairs, while Lucy and Michelle fought secretly at the back, looking very at odds.

"You didn't leave?" Anderson, who noticed the situation at the door, led the crowd over, "What's the matter, you—oh! Where did the kitten come from?"

Edmondo got up and stretched his tingling calf, shrugging at his friend.

"I don't know. We found them in the bushes. They were abandoned. It's too hot outside. If you leave them alone, they will die." After explaining, he looked at Hastings, "Someone here will take care of the newborn babies. cat?"

Hastings shook his head, then said he could ask.

"Don't get your hopes up too much. We haven't recruited many people. Most of them are geeks who are addicted to the Internet. I doubt that any of them will know how to take care of a kitten." Randolph followed up with a suggestion, "Maybe we can Call the Animal Protection Association here, they will send someone to pick up these little things and make sure they receive the best care."

It sounds like a feasible method, Norton looked at Edmundo and nodded, so the question came to "Who has the phone number of the Animal Protection Society?".

Edmondo looked over one by one, but got a circle of blank eyes, and finally found a way to go to a dead end.

"...I think the best way is to send them directly to the police station." Anderson shrugged his nose and said, "How far is the nearest police station?"

"About 10 minutes." The guard replied, "But recently the road surface has collapsed, so we have to take a detour, and it takes 10 minutes to walk, and we have to pass through a forest."

"So...another dead
