[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

About 10 minutes later, Edmondo is still in the same position, his eyes and throat dry as hell, but he's still staring at Demat Moore like he's going to figure it out.

Dimat sat on the chair and slowly and gracefully flipped through a page of the magazine that he carried with him, just to deal with the situation in front of him. He had expected Edmondo to do so.Soon, the blond man became impatient. He looked at his watch, then closed the magazine and threw it aside.

"How long do I have to give you to react?" he asked, leaning back.

"Maybe it will take the next whole year." Edmondo moistened his throat and replied dryly, he pinned the hair on his forehead behind his ears uncomfortably, "To be honest, Dimat , I'm still stuck in the first message you sent me-you mean you got the video of me and Edward Furlong (the underage version) getting fucked together, is that right?"

"—did it take you ten minutes to figure this out?"

"Yes, because it sounds incredible - can you be sure that the video in your hand is the only one?"

"Very sure."

"Oh, very sure, um." Edmondo's eyes were a little erratic. After all, what he didn't understand was the purpose of this beautiful lawyer who brought the video to him. After all, he didn't just want to tell He was as simple as, "Well, let's just get straight to it, what do you want?"

Dimat hesitated for a moment, he switched his legs and put it on top: "What do you mean?"

"Come on, my dear, you are the one who ran in front of me with my handle, how can you throw the question back to me?" Edmondo looked at Dimat in disbelief, then raised his chin , "You are right, this video is dangerous to me, I have to get it back, so, you make a price."

"——I didn't, no, I didn't mean to blackmail you." Dimat frowned fiercely, his eyes were a little erratic, in fact, even he himself didn't understand the purpose of today, maybe he just wanted to find an excuse Come and see him, "I'm just here to inform you of this fact, nothing else."

"You mean—you go and tell somebody there's a bomb|bomb that's gonna kill him right now in your hands, and then you don't ask him for anything other than to tell him about it." Ed Mondo tapped the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and smiled mockingly, "You can get nothing but making the other person sleep well, so, please make a price, everyone has a price, I have more money Very well, let's say-"

He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, and after squinting his eyes, Edmondo got up and walked towards Dimat, who walked up to him, bent down, smiled inexplicably, and then stretched his hand across his chin.

"—or you don't want money, you want me?" He straightened up, looked at the huge shock in Demat's eyes and chuckled, then walked behind his chair, leaned over to his ear again, "Tell me, Demat, have you seen that video?"

The blond man jumped up from the chair instantly as if he had been hit by something. At a certain moment, he turned his head, as if he wanted to strike Edmondo's neck, but he finally held back and retreated two times. step away from him.

"You're so wrong, Edmundo, I don't want to blackmail you, and I don't want to take the opportunity to make | love with you." He straightened his neckline and made it back to a meticulous look, "If this matter makes you If I feel unhappy, then I apologize, stop here, and I will destroy the memory card."

Edmundo leaned lazily on the chair with his arms folded. After a few seconds of silence, he let out a chuckle.

"Make love? What are you, schoolboy? You can just say you want to have sex with me" he taunted, "and you know Mr. Demat, I don't trust you, I think You don't destroy that video, you just copy it and put it on the computer desktop, and then turn it on and beat it in the dead of night—"

"Enough!—Enough." Dimat interrupted Edmondo with a roar, panting violently, then lowered his head to calm down, "Whether you believe it or not, I will do that."

[Do, uh, what? ]

The sound at the door of the studio made the two people in the confrontation look over at the same time. Keanu Reeves, who was dressed like a street kid and held a few hot dogs in his hand, appeared there. The situation was at a loss, so after receiving the gazes from both sides, he shrugged a little uncomfortably.

"I just wanted to ask what you guys are doing, I didn't want to scare you." He walked in, then shook the hot dog bag in his hand to Edmondo, "I brought you lunch, but I don't know You have customers here, if not enough, you can order delivery."

"No, I'm leaving now." Dimat packed himself up and changed back into the appearance of an elite aristocrat, he took his briefcase and nodded quickly, then walked out the door, "See you later. "

"It's not over, Dimat! I'll go find you!" Edmundo gave him a middle finger at his back, "We must solve this next time, we must!"

After the sound of the blond man's footsteps completely disappeared in the studio, Keanu turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Edmondo: "What happened just now, isn't he your former lawyer? What happened between you?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little economic dispute." Edmundo took the hot dog in his hand and responded casually, "Come on, the rest time can't be wasted, I want to eat something else after eating this hot dog .”

……

Half a month later, Edmondo completed the first rough editing and lighting effects of "Innocent". At this point, he can press the pause button first. In the middle of 1996, he still had two basic KPIs to complete. And followed by "Innocent" is Agatha Christie's "Witness for the Prosecution".

Before Los Angeles was completely hot, the "Witness for the Prosecution" project was completed. He selected his own team and asked for the casting director who had worked with Spielberg on "Schindler's List". There is himself concurrently.Soon, they completed the screening of most of the main characters in the script.

The British actor Richard Graves will play the most famous defense lawyer in London, that is, the hero of the film, Elizabeth McGovern, who is also a British actor, and she will play the lawyer's smart and capable female assistant.Coupled with the fact that Nicole Kidman was previously decided to play the heroine of the film, the only thing that has not been decided is the lawyer's defense object, that is, the real murderer who is very good at acting.

"I want an actor like Gregory Peck, between the ages of 35 and 45, who can pretend to be himself and play the villain." Edmondo asked the casting director, and then he took the draft at hand Folding paper into a paper airplane, "If there is no suitable one who is already famous, then use a newcomer. I don't care if the lead actor can bring in the box office, understand?"

The casting director nodded.

Of course Edmundo doesn't need a star actor to boost the box office, he can do it himself, just remember that when the time comes to enlarge his name on the poster, countless people will flock to the cinema to pay to see this movie .

"Then our audition is scheduled for next Wednesday, how about this time?"

"Next Wednesday? Well, yes, it happens to be the day when Nicole ends her divorce lawsuit." Edmundo raised the corner of his mouth, and then threw out the paper airplane in his hand. The paper airplane circled several times in the air, and finally accurately Throw it in the wastebasket. "Next Wednesday will be perfect."

……

Nicole Kidman couldn't express how complicated she felt at the moment she signed the divorce papers. She was about to escape from this toxic marriage for a brighter future. Tom used to be good, but in The moment he chose Scientology, they were doomed to become two-way people.

"Nicole, are you okay? I'm sorry we've come this far, but I want you to know that I'll always be your friend." Perhaps seeing Nicole's trembling fingers, Tom Cruise felt a burst of emotion. Guilt, "divorce doesn't mean I hate you, if you encounter anything in Hollywood, you can still come to me, and I will help you."

Listen, what a moving oath.

"Please, Tom, I'm not the kind of woman who can be friends with an ex without a grudge, just—don't break my heart." Nicole gave her husband, no, the ex-husband a forced smile, "Don't bother You, I have nothing to do with you in the future, I have friends who will help, thank you for your protection in the past few years, thank you, goodbye."

This is equivalent to completely rejecting his kindness, and Tom Cruise felt even more guilty.

Feeling guilty, he followed out regardless of the bodyguard's obstruction.

"Your friend? Who has the ability to completely protect you from harm in Hollywood? I don't mean anything, I just hope you don't trust the wrong person. I will always be your friend, Nicole, you can trust me .”

Nicole walked quickly without giving him any reply. She turned the corner and walked out of the gate. Almost immediately, reporters and flashing lights surrounded Cruise's eyes so that he couldn't see the way clearly.Nicole put on her sunglasses and walked through the crowd, apparently blaming her ex-husband for all her problems.

Just when Cruise was eager to show his ex-wife a friendly side, the horn of a car came from under the steps of the court, as if to remind him, and then, the engine of the luxurious sports car rang, and the people who passed through the crowd In the gap, Cruise saw a red convertible Ferrari parked there, and the driver's seat was——

Edmundo Moreira?

Tom Cruise was a little dazed, he didn't expect that the last brief contact would make Nicole and Edmondo become friends.

Under his gaze, Nicole threw the cowhide bag into the back seat of the sports car, and then jumped in. Edmondo also put on sunglasses after greeting her, and then he waved at him with his usual contemptuous and flamboyant smile. He waved his hand, wiped the accelerator, and the car disappeared at the gate of the court.

"Hey! Are you blind? Why don't you interview them?" Cruise complained loudly to the reporters. "Go to them and don't ask stupid questions."

The reporters fell on deaf ears.

So Tom Cruise knew that these people were not reporters who were interviewing his divorce from Nicole at all. These people were hired by Edmondo to scare him.

The Hollywood Golden Boy threw his fist into the air annoyedly before leaving the courthouse led by bodyguards.

He's not going to work with Edmundo Moreira, ever.

……

On the other side, Edmondo and Nicole arrived at the audition scene. Several actors were already waiting there with script fragments. He got out of the car and jokingly asked, "From today onwards, you are a free man. , have you figured out where you are going tonight?"

Nicole Kidman has the happiest smile she's had in months.

"Not yet," she said, "but maybe malestripclub is a good option."

……

Meanwhile, Demat Moore sits in his living room with disheveled hair and thick black circles under his eyes. He has clearly not had a good night's sleep in days. He is in pain, and whenever he closes his eyes Ed Mundo's voice will appear in his ears.

—Did you watch the video, Mr. Demat?

In fact, he didn't watch the whole thing, he only watched the first few minutes, and that was enough to have an impact on him. For more than ten months, he thought he could forget him.

Kneeling next to the TV, Demat has converted the contents of the memory card to a videotape, and now he wants to play it.
