[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

At 9 a.m. the next morning, Nicole Kidman's agent knocked on the door of Edmondo's suite just in time, just 40 minutes after he got out of his chaotic thoughts and fell asleep, in the living room, on the On the reclining sofa chair, the head rests on Depp's stomach.

Not far from them was Fran, who had found a comfortable place on the stall, while Kidman stayed on her sofa all the time, and the alcohol prevented her from waking up soon.In the end it was Alicia who opened the door, and she was the only one to get a good night's sleep in her room, so it fell to her to talk to the agent.

"So, you just made the decision for me to keep her."

After listening to the explanation, Edmondo concluded casually with a hutch, curled up his legs, nestled in the sofa, and slowly turned over another page of Agatha Christie's manuscript.

It's already 2 pm, Nicole Kidman's agent left the hotel in the morning, after that Depp and Furlong also went out to meet some producers, they all forgot about lunch.

After Kidman woke up and had a long talk with Alicia (Edmundo guessed it was more crying), after that, and now, Alicia found Edmundo to explain what happened this morning. Talked through all the conversations with them.

But obviously, Edmondo is more concerned about this "Witness for the Prosecution", which is completely different from his previous life, than the marital problems between Kidman and Cruise. If it can be confirmed that this story has never been known so far, then out of Some kind of fantastic responsibility, he had to make this movie.

And this means that his plans for next year or even the next three years will all be disrupted.

So——Alicia's arbitrarily keeping Kidman behind is not a big deal at all.

"Okay, I agree, she can stay." Edmondo said, "But since it is your decision, then she is your responsibility, and you are responsible for taking good care of her. I don't want to come back after a tiring day to hear Do you understand her cry?"

This sounded a bit like a parent asking a child to take on the responsibility of a new pet. Alicia rolled her eyes slightly, then put on a bright smile and nodded seriously.

Edmondo returned to the reasoning story, and after a while he fell asleep.

It was already night when he woke up, and he was awakened by Depp's concerned voice.

"I think we should have a good talk, Dudu, about your status yesterday and today, since you met that grandson of Agatha, it has been wrong." He knelt down beside Edmondo's sofa, He took the other person's hand, and then rubbed the skin on the back of his hand soothingly, "You can tell me that anything is fine, and I will be happy to help."

Oh, sorry, no one can help you on this one.

Edmondo groaned in his heart, and then patted the armrest of the sofa rather annoyed.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." He replied vaguely, "Speaking of which, I asked you to ask about the movie. Have you asked?"

A somewhat embarrassed look appeared on Depp's face.

"I asked, but I'm sorry." He hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "No one has heard of the movie you mentioned, even the director you think said he didn't make it, you may really make it Got it wrong with some other movie."

Heck, the world really is different.

"Maybe I really made a mistake." Edmondo smiled with difficulty, "It seems that I can only shoot it."

He tried to relax himself by joking, but soon he failed, Depp didn't understand why it hit him so hard, but he still patted Edmondo on the shoulder to express his comfort.At this moment, Alicia took Kidman out of the room, as if encouraging her to do something.

"Uh, I just wanted to say, thank you, yes, thank you, Eddie," Kidman said as she stood in front of Edmondo, looking like she was going to faint from nervousness, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for throwing you Get involved."

Edmondo showed a somewhat confused expression.

What had she got him into?

"She thinks you must hate her, because yesterday if it weren't for her and those people, they wouldn't have troubled you. Now that you have taken her in, the church may also stare at you, just like they stared at Cruise." Ellie Thea answered for her, "I've told her you're not like that, but she doesn't believe it—you have to tell her she didn't give you trouble."

What kind of magical brain circuit is this? Edmondo looked at Kidman with some incomprehension, and then he suddenly remembered some details, small details that happened just a few hours ago.

For example, when Kidman came over and asked him if he was hungry and wanted to go to lunch, he was busy thinking about "Witness for the Prosecution" and just waved his hands without answering. Witness for the prosecution just waved his hand and didn't answer.

and so--

Edmondo is bothered by Agatha's manuscript, which gives Kidman the illusion that he doesn't like her.

"God, you really have to learn to find problems in others, my dear." Edmundo got up from the sofa and walked towards Kidman, and then gave her a warm hug, "It's not your fault that you met a scumbag , It’s not your fault that you were harassed at the club, and it’s not your fault that I didn’t give you a response after asking for my opinion, so be nice to yourself.”

Nicole Kidman was stiff all over. She stared at the floor in front of her in disbelief. It seemed that no one had said such things to her for a long time. Ever since she entered the showbiz, everyone was picking on her faults, such as you are too She is tall, her complexion is not healthy enough, her teeth are not straight, and Cruise, who once gave her a sense of security, has recently been gradually alienating her under the instigation of the church.

Edmondo is the only one she's repressed these days to point out outright that none of this is her fault, Kidman carefully bends down slightly and hugs him back (yes Nicole is a few centimeters taller than Edmondo) .

At this moment, Edmondo suddenly had an idea.

"Hey, Nicole, I don't know if you'd be interested in playing a bad woman, a bad and pathetic woman who's so good at acting. I just thought of a role that's perfect for you!" He let go of Kidman and walked back to the couch to take Referring to Agatha's manuscript, "I know you are reluctant to divorce Cruise, but believe me, after this movie, your nostalgia for him will be gone."

Kidman was stunned for a while, then readily agreed.

Alicia was happy that things were going to end well, and so was Depp, who was genuinely relieved that Edmondo was back to normal (probably temporarily), and the four made an appointment to go to a restaurant for dinner.

And all of this was heard by Edward Huafran outside the door. He couldn't tell whether he was sad or angry. All the negative emotions gathered together and turned into pure darkness.He couldn't get in their conversation, and no one thought of him when they made dinner appointments.

He walked towards the trash can at the end with a sullen face, and then threw in the French dessert Eclairs that he brought back for Edmundo, as if throwing away all his good emotions.

Something had to be done, thought Furlong, and in just a few days, before the Cannes Film Festival was over, he had to do something.

……

The exhibition of the film festival is coming to an end soon, and it is time to announce the final award. The reporters have already made preparations at the awards ceremony and around the red carpet, waiting for the announcement of the results to release the news immediately.

Tom is one of the many reporters. It is not the first time for him to report in Cannes, so he can skillfully instruct newcomers how to set up the camera or how to ask questions.

That's why he was so irritable when he found out that his work pass was gone.

"Where the hell did it go, I never lost that thing, ever!" Tom rummaged through his backpack, but couldn't find it, "Hell, I couldn't even get into the scene without that— —”

That's when he thought about his hot experience with some stranger in the utility room that morning, maybe that's when he dropped it, so after telling the others Tom took his camera and walked there, but As soon as he entered, he realized the problem. Someone came to the utility room before him.

"I feel like I'm losing you."

"—how could you have such an idea?"

"You like everyone except me, I seem to be invisible in front of you, you have skipped me too many times."

"--nonsense."

"But that's how you feel to me. I got a lot of news. For example, you stayed with Phoenix for a long time before you came. For example, you went to Mexico to send Leonardo a script written by yourself. You Caring about them, I'm nothing."

The voice sounded familiar, and Tom cautiously peeked out of the clutter for a quick glance.

Oh fuck!

Is that Edmundo Moreira and Edouard Furlong? !

The reporter covered his mouth in complete shock, for fear of accidentally leaking his voice, he soon calmed down and realized that this was an excellent opportunity, so he quietly took off the camera around his neck and put it on the shelf, adjusted to Video mode, then press the switch.

He took another look, and Fran began to work on Edmundo's belt buckle, but it was clear that Edmundo was not happy.

"As I said, you are not yet an adult, can't you wait for three months?"

"That's just an excuse you use to say no to me, and I'm sure you'll find a whole bunch of reasons to say no to me even when I'm an adult."

"I didn't mean that, really, don't be angry with me Ed, when you grow up, I will definitely—"

"If you really care about me, you can prove to me that I don't want you to be with me all the time or write me a script. I just want you, right now."

"You are 17 now."

"It's only been a few months, it's going to be okay. Eddie, please, if you really cared about me you wouldn't say no to my little request, my request is already low, please."

Edmundo didn't speak any more. After a while, Tom heard the sound of cloth and some other human voices. He looked up at the camera screen. The video picture confirmed the guess in his mind.

After suffering for half an hour, Edmondo and Fran left the utility room. The reporter heaved a sigh of relief. He took down the camera, then sat on the ground against the shelf, and watched the recorded content at double speed.

He knew that he had recorded something extraordinary.

So now the question is, should it be made public to attract attention due to the professional requirements of journalists, or should it be kept out of humanitarianism, and it will be revealed at certain critical moments in the future?

……

Edmondo thought he had done something wrong, and he shouldn't have allowed Fran to do anything wrong to him, but that had already happened, and he was never willing to blame himself for what had happened.

"—The Palme d'Or winner of this year's main unit competition is: "Entanglement", from Edmundo Moreira, congratulations!"

As the host announced, all the awards of the 48th Cannes International Film Festival have been awarded, and all the dust has settled. Edmondo and his "Entanglement" became the biggest winners, not only won the Palme d'Or but also won the Best Film Award. At the same time, Jim Ross won the title of Best Actor for his acting skills.

Oh fuck it!

Having fun is all that matters, wrong?Save it for later.

Amid the applause of the crowd, Edmondo stood up to accept the award.

……

"I knew he would win the award." Leonardo, who was far away in Mexico, watched the live broadcast on TV as if he was so proud of winning the award, "See, this is this talented director. He is my boyfriend. I wrote a script!"

Kate gave him a smirk.

"But—if I remember correctly, Edmondo never said you were his boyfriend." The red-haired actor didn't mind pouring cold water on the guy who ate garlic in the kiss scene, "Maybe he wrote you a script, but still -- he doesn't belong to anyone."

Leonardo, too, was clueless, but he acted dismissive of it.

"Nonsense." He raised his chin, "It's all because he just doesn't want to say it. I know he loves me very much."

Kate gave him another smirk, only this time with a tinge of pity.

The on-site award presentation was over. After a commercial, the camera came to the red carpet outside the awards hall, where the winners were interviewed.

"Hey! Look!"

Leonardo and Kate looked at the screen under the reminder of a staff member. The camera was aimed at Edmondo's face, and the speaker was a French reporter. He didn't know what kind of mentality it was. A pointed question was raised.

【Do you think this review is really fair?Is it because you are the heir to the Bonaparte family that you won the award? 】

There was an uproar at the scene. Similarly, the crew of "Titanic" in front of the TV was also in an uproar. Even Cameron, who was leisurely thinking about the storyboard, looked at the screen.

Edmondo blinked, then smiled easily.

"Why is it unfair?" He asked rhetorically, "Can titles like Bonaparte's successor and genius director not coexist?"
