[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

"Relax, Anderson, this news is not worth mentioning." Edmondo picked up the newspapers and threw them into the trash basket with disdain, then lay down on the chair with his head resting on his hands, "You need to relax my Friend, I can see the veins on the top of your head, you're going to have a heart attack."

"Heart attack, huh, who is it all due to?" Anderson gave Edmondo a hard look, he was pacing back and forth in the office, "How can you be so calm, Eddie, they say you are irritable Depression, saying that you will beat people at will, this is simply smearing black mud on your face-by the way, the news about you being the heir to the Bonaparte family is still raging."

Edmondo looked up at his friend, then nodded his lips.

"Exactly, so we have to thank the guy who broke the news about my 'manic depression', at least no one is talking about my Bonaparte blood." He smiled and pushed his hair back on Long Island, "Maybe you should Go ask if it's a message from Paramount, it may be a warm-up for "First Fear."

"I called them, and they said they didn't do it." Anderson calmed down a bit, but was still angry at the damn rumor, "We have to find this guy behind the scenes, who knows I'll write something else in the future."

Edmundo didn't feel much about it, and the news wouldn't hurt him, and it would also play a role in promoting the new film to be promoted, not to mention Mikkelsen stood up for him when the news was first exposed a few days ago Having said that, I'm still in the capacity of 'a party involved in the car wash shop'.

To be honest, the scandal came at such a timely time that he even suspected that someone was secretly helping him.

The only mistake was the time when the news was exposed. It would be better if it could be pushed back a month or two. At that time, the promotion of his new movie had just ended and the popularity had just dropped, which was the time when news was needed.

But it's not too bad for now.

"Compared to "First Fear", a project given to me by Paramount, I hope we can talk about the future, my movie." Edmondo tiptoed the swivel chair to the right angle, facing Looking at his agent and good friend, he said: "Next year I will shoot 3 films in a row. Of course, depending on the situation, there may be more. Two of them are my original scripts. Now I want to tell you about the one. It may not be released for many years.”

Anderson's chest heaved violently a few times, apparently he hadn't recovered from the bad news, he pinched the bridge of his nose, broke up Edmundo's words to recall for himself, and then looked over in doubt.

"Don't talk about other things, what do you mean by that at the end." He asked, "What do you mean it will be released after many years?"

"It literally means that the current special effects can't meet my requirements, but I can't wait that long, and I can't wait that long for the actors I want. I will shoot it next year." Edmondo replied, "The script When I go back and send it to you, you take it to Spielberg and David Geffen. If they let you wait, you can directly start the project. I can advance funds in the early stage, and make plans after I find all the actors. .”

Anderson was dumbfounded.

"Are you crazy? Dudu, it's true that DreamWorks has you, but they won't allow you to take a script and shoot it. They need to evaluate the value!" Anderson walked over quickly and squatted in front of Edmondo, planning to Tell him to give up, "I know your story, you told me, it's great, but who's going to watch a sci-fi movie starring an Asian guy, I'm not racist, it's just the way the market is. Think again, ok Well, think again!"

market?

Edmondo took a deep look at his friend.

"You know, Andy, I don't care about the market at all, I just want to shoot my story." He hooked his lips meaninglessly, and then squeezed Anderson's shoulder, "Don't persuade me to give up, and don't try Change me, do what I say, okay."

Anderson took a deep breath, he deserved that he could no longer change his friend's opinion, and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will do as you say." He got up, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he got a teasing tone, "But if you lose and even pay for your underwear, then don't expect me to lend you Pants."

"of course."

……

At the end of June, when Edmondo and the crew ended their promotional tour, the matter of his 'bipolar disorder' had just come to an end. During the period, for some reason, there was a large-scale parade. They wanted to let Edmondo got out of the United States, and the police soon arrested the leader, but they had no clue about who was behind the scenes.

In the end, it was Rui Fan, Keanu, Depp and even Leonardo in Mexico who stood up and publicly expressed their support for Edmondo, which calmed down the public. Afterwards, "Leading the Show" was released and became popular all over the United States. Alicia, the heroine of the movie, also publicly sided with Edmundo in an interview. She said that Edmundo is her best friend, and he is not that kind of person.

"I was there at the time, and I can tell you that without Edmundo, I couldn't walk out of that club straight up." Alicia said to the camera.

Soon, Fran joined in to confirm that she was right.

Immediately afterwards, Spielberg and the other two founders of DreamWorks also stood up and faced the reporters. They stood firmly behind Edmondo.

Things completely turned around in mid-July.

Tom Cruise stepped up.

The Golden Boy of Hollywood contacted the network to issue a statement (morning news) ahead of the nation's best-watched news show, clarifying that Edmundo was in Cannes, saying that Edmundo saved his wife, Edmundo He's a hero, and a hero doesn't deserve to be treated like this.

But in private, Edmondo never received a call from the other party, so he speculated that the public statement was won by Kidman for him.

Since then, some newspapers have reversed their attitudes, never mentioning Edmundo's negative news, and even packaged him as a hero as Cruise said.

In the 90s, when the message transmission was underdeveloped, this matter achieved a big reversal in just two months at an astonishing speed, which directly affected the first-week box office of "First Fear", which was 2.5kw more than the expected 1.2kw , according to the law, the box office of this movie can reach 2 million after its release.

To celebrate this, Edmundo plans to throw another party at his villa.

"Thank you for the invitation, really, but I think I might not be able to make it." Nicole Kidman, who received the call, replied regretfully, "Ellie and I talked a lot after that day, including your suggestion , so—yes, I'm divorcing Tom."

"A wise choice." Edmondo commented, "When you finish the procedure, remember to tell me and Hill, we will take you to re-experience the happy life of being single, and I have VIP status in every malestripclub in Los Angeles."

Kidman was amused, and then she cleared her throat.

"Thank you." She said sincerely.

"After that, you have to start preparing for your role. I wasn't joking what I said that day." Edmondo continued, and at the same time he heard footsteps coming from the stairs. So he speeded up his speech: "At the latest by this time next year, the movie will start shooting. I hope you can prepare it sooner, okay dear—see you later."

One second after Edmundo put down the microphone, Rui Fan walked into the living room, Edmundo raised his head and stared at him until Rui Fan sat down next to him, the distance between the eyes became shorter and the temperature rose , they laughed naturally, and then everything went smoothly, Rui Fan pressed Edmundo and kissed him.

But only a few seconds later, Edmondo took the opportunity to put his arms around Rui Fan's neck to respond, turned over and returned to the upper position, he pushed the sofa cushion that was in the way to the ground, and then pretended to reach out to check if there were other marks on the other party's body.

Rui Fan clasped the dancing fingers on his body, and asked in a low voice with a little unsteady breath: "Who did you call just now, and what were you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything." Edmondo tried to fool around, "Nicole is going to divorce Tom, and he's talking to me about it."

"—Don't try to fool me, Dudu, I heard you say stripclub."

"Since you heard that, why are you asking? Yes, I said stripclub, and we plan to go there after Nicole's divorce. Do you have any good shops to recommend?"

"There are no recommendations, but there are a lot of opinions, do you want to hear it?" Rui Fan raised his upper body and looked at the kneeling Edmondo, then raised his hand and pinched his sensitive waist, "Don't go, you hear, if If you really want to see it, I'll show it to you."

"You?" Edmondo looked critically at Rui Fan, and then lightly kicked his thigh, "Barely."

"You're still disgusted." Rui Fan lowered his head to support his waist and pressed down suggestively, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, did you write a script for Leonardo?"

Edmondo's movements stopped.

"How do you know that?" he asked. "Didn't this happen in Mexico?"

"Obviously, some people think it's a very romantic thing to give a script and roles written by a talented director to express his love for his lover who is about to turn 21." Rui Fan's tone was a little dangerous, "It will be me soon It's my birthday, I think you should have prepared a corresponding gift for me, right?"

"About this—" I forgot, totally forgot your birthday, you're not going to be 21st or 30th.Of course, Edmondo would only say these words in his heart, he leaned over and cupped Rui Fan's face, trying to divert his attention, "Maybe we can-"

But just when the atmosphere was just right and they were about to have a good time on the sofa, two people walked in from the foyer, and Edmondo remembered that he had invited someone to discuss the project in the afternoon.

It's not the time.

Edmundo frowned in dissatisfaction, and then slowly got off Rui Fan. He threw himself into the soft sofa, crossed his arms and looked at the two brothers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. .

"Let's get this part done quickly, got the script?" he asked. "And the schedule, and Anderson should tell you how to make that thing, right?"

Matt nodded, and then handed the script and schedule to Edmondo. Compared with the relaxed Ben, he was a bit reserved, like a college student who submitted his graduation thesis to a vicious tutor.

"The timetable has been arranged. If it goes well, the project can be launched next spring." Matt said, and then he elbowed his friend next to him, "We mainly want to know today, about the director, er, dream Factory, oh, I mean, can you-"

"Oh my God, Matt!" As if understanding his friend's stuttering, Ben patted Matt on the shoulder to say it was up to him, and he looked at Edmondo, "We want to know if this project starts next year, Can you be the director, we have been looking forward to this for a long time, almost from the very beginning."

Um?Let him guide?

"It depends on the situation, and it also depends on whether I like the script." Edmondo closed the planner and looked up, "To be honest, my schedule is almost full next year, and I want to pack it again." Such a project is not easy, I need someone I trust to take care of other things, to supervise the production, and that may have to wait until—”

Just as he was talking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Rui Fan's knee moving towards him, and it was this movement that gave him a brilliant idea.

"Hey Riri, are you interested in being a producer or something?" He gently kicked Rui Fan's calf and asked, "Don't you always want to pay me back? As your reward, what do you think?"

Rui Fan was very surprised by his decision.

"However, Dudu, I have never produced any production experience." He said, "I don't know if I can do well."

"Of course you can." Edmondo leaned over and kissed him lightly on the corner of his mouth, "Take it as an experience, and when you stop being an actor, you will be able to smoothly transition behind the scenes. This is your precious experience."

Rui Fan had no reason to refuse, he looked into the pair of blue eyes only a few centimeters away from him, then tilted his head and kissed them again.

Matt moved his eyes away uncomfortably. He still felt guilty towards Edmundo, but Ben was different. He frowned slightly and stared closely at the two people kissing on the sofa. To be precise, it was Staring at Edmondo's lips, where he almost tasted it.

The world is such a wonderful place, Matt and Ben, they arrive in a mood completely flipped from before.

Matt focuses on the script, while Ben has an inexplicable obsession with their boss.

After a while, Rui Fan finally let go of Edmundo, and Ben also asked the person in charge of the plot for the location of the kitchen, and he came back with two bottles of champagne.

"We should celebrate," he says, with a forced smile, "for our new project, and our new executive producer, Phoenix—good luck."
