[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

About half an hour later, Edmondo drove Nicole Kidman to the set in a sports car. Yes, this time they did not choose an office for the audition, but directly set the location in the already built office. A set with a good set, this is Edmondo's idea, he told the casting director that it would be closer to the era in Agatha's story.

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, but fortunately it is still tenable, especially for this director who is known for his "many ideas" and "easy to change his mind", so the casting director followed his wishes.Even Edmundo himself can't tell its true purpose, perhaps in his subconscious, he hopes that this film will be closer to the old version of "Witness for the Prosecution" that no longer exists.

Passing through the staff who were setting up the set, they entered the audition room that had been arranged through the back door, where the casting director was already waiting for them, and the camera had already been set up.

Nicole was a little cautious, this was the first time she participated in the work of selecting actors, sitting next to the casting director and kept fiddling with the name tags on the table, at this time Edmondo skillfully took off his coat and hung it on the hanger On, after a pause he took something out of his pocket, and threw it to Nicole: "Hey, Nicole, go on!"

Nicole subconsciously reached out her hand, caught it and took a closer look, it turned out to be the car key of the Ferrari.

"Director, I mean Eddie, you're going to—" She looked over in surprise, and Edmondo gave her a look of 'as you think', so Nicole panicked instantly and became incoherent, "I can't take this, you take it back, it's too precious."

"No, you are making me feel uncomfortable in front of Benjamin (casting director), accept it as a small gift to return to being single." Edmondo waved his hand, then pulled out his chair and sat down, "This is our A means of transport at night, if we lose our keys we'll just have to walk to the club - have you figured out where to go?"

(Casting director: "You guys going to the club tonight?", Edmondo: "Yeah, and it's full of men, not your type.")

Over there, Edmondo chatted happily with the casting director. Nicole, who was undergoing a huge mental shock, seemed to be forgotten, but he felt relieved inexplicably. To come up with a better adjective, Eddie's mind is bursting with new ideas every day, no one knows what he is thinking, and Nicole considers herself lucky to be his friend.

Not everyone gets a Ferrari on their divorce day, she said.

"So have you figured it out, Nicole?" After finishing the chat with the casting director, Edmondo waved in front of her eyes, "Why, can a car scare you? Come—and He learned because I made him stay up all night watching hundreds of audition clips so he got a nice watch, two of them, one for him and his wife."

Nicole Kidman looked at the casting director in a daze, and the bearded man winked at her and said sweetly: "Yes, child, you have to learn to accept other people's kindness to you, Tell yourself that you deserve this."

But she didn't do anything, just divorced, Nicole took several deep breaths, and finally forced a smile, and he shrugged easily at the two of them.

"Okay, I think I can do it—we will drive to pick up Alicia after the audition, and it's not too late to make a decision then." She looked at Edmondo sincerely, "Thank you."

Edmondo accepted her thanks.

"That's right, I'm really proud of you." The casting director clapped his hands twice, then smiled at Edmondo, "Let's gossip, I think we can start."

After getting Edmondo's approval, the casting director pressed the communication button on the internal phone on the table in front of him to contact the assistant outside the door: "Tell all the auditioners, let's get started."

……

Soon, their first auditioner knocked on the door and walked in. This was an old acquaintance, to be precise, an old acquaintance of Edmondo, and he brought him a rose and a bottle of rum .

"Oh—you're so sentimental, thank you, Johnny." Edmondo took the rose and held it in his hand, the spikes were no threat to him, "but I want to ask, why is it A rose instead of a bouquet?"

"I don't know, I just thought you would like it. It's a little strange to say that I saw it at a glance from the hundreds of roses crowded together in the flower shop passing by, just this one." Johnny Depp As he spoke, he put the half-drunk bottle of rum in front of Edmondo, took the time to hold the back of his hand and kissed, "I hope you will like it (wine), because I like it. It's terrible, if it wasn't given to you, it might all have entered my stomach."

It's still the kind of slow tone, which sounds sexy|sexy.

Edmondo smiled, grasping his fingers with a backhand, and over the top ring, he rubbed his skin gently.

"Although I like your gift very much, and I like you very much, but Johnny, you must know that I will not decide who to give the role to because of personal preferences, so-I'm sorry that your bribery didn't work." He He smiled teasingly and answered.

"That's such a pity." Depp understood the meaning, and followed Edmundo's joke with an exaggerated expression of grief, "It seems that I can only impress you with my performance."

"I think so."

The casting director unceremoniously rolled his eyes at the two, and then pretended to choke his neck and made a gesture of vomiting. Edmundo turned his head and gave him a glare, and leaned forward to kiss the back of Depp's hand intensified. The director cast his silent complaint to Nicole, who lowered her head and chuckled.

After clearing his throat, Depp retreated to the center of the room.

"Okay, the joke is over." Edmondo patted his sleeves and poured himself half a glass of rum. He raised his glass and signaled to Depp, "Please start, Mr. Johnny Depp."

……

Johnny Depp's audition was a resounding success, as he portrayed the murderer so well, from professing his innocence to breaking down in court to win the jury's trust, and finally to Nicole, who played with him, completely exposed the ugly face, and he performed this role deeply, and he is indeed the most changeable man in Hollywood.

Edmondo was both excited and flustered at the same time, because he originally used Gregory Peck as a reference when describing the role to the casting director, and what Depp said was the same as the reporter in "Roman Holiday" There is no similarity, and he was the first to audition. Most of the movies in these years were directly approved and used the first audition. Most of them did not end well.

"That's okay, we can look at it again, there is still a lot of time." The casting director comforted, "And you don't have to feel guilty about Depp just because you and Depp are friends, he entered Hollywood earlier than you, the rules are very clear."

He's right, they've got a long time to go.

From Wednesday to Sunday's audition, unfortunately Edmundo could not find a more suitable actor than Johnny Depp, which made him a little restless.Perhaps because of the guilt brought about by the butterfly effect that caused the original "Witness for the Prosecution" to disappear into history, Edmundo unconsciously used a character similar to "Witness for the Prosecution" in his casting. The actor, even he himself didn't realize it.

Keanu Reeves was still on vacation, he took Edmundo's reaction into his heart, so on Sunday afternoon, he rode a motorcycle and took Edmundo out for a walk, the destination was the famous beach attraction, the Bund .

The moment Edmondo saw the beach and the sea, he was obviously in a better mood. He opened his hands and let the wind pass by. A few minutes later, he smirked at Keanu and said, "I assume you know Rui Fan The crew of the film was filmed on the Bund, so tell me, dear, what bad idea did you come up with?"

"Of course I know he's on the Bund, but it has nothing to do with me bringing you here because it's the closest beach to Los Angeles, and I don't want to disturb Rui Fan's work." He quickly understood Edmundo's Meaning, then endured the burning feeling of silence on his face and looked away in embarrassment, he really never thought about being with Rui Fan, think about it, how embarrassing it would be in the room or on the bed.As if to cover up, he added: "Of course, it would be even better if we could meet by chance."

Edmondo squinted his eyes and watched him closely for a while, then turned and left muttering "boring".

Boring is boring, how can you not go to the sea to play when you come to the beach?Edmondo relied on his own advantage to pull Keanu to swim to a place with few people, and then frightened him with the plot of "Jaws", and swam under him to grab his ankle by the way.Keanu was a little annoyed at his childish behavior, but in the end he had no choice but to let him go, and the two played for a long time before going ashore.

The reason for going ashore was not that any of them were tired, but that the food stalls on the beach were open for business. The owner was a young man of Chinese descent, and he grilled sausages and shells on an iron plate with a fan.By the time he and Keanu walked towards the hotel with a full load of 'boots', there was already a long queue in front of the food stand.

Keanu was mainly in charge of carrying, and Edmondo was in charge of eating. The two strolled just in time to catch up with the beautiful sunset in the sky. The two people walking on the streets of Long Beach were reflected in orange. With the help of light and shadow, Keanu quietly Look at Edmondo in the back.

Edmondo was following there leisurely, humming a cheerful tune.He rolled up his shorts to expose his thighs, barefoot, with some sand scattered from toes to knees, reflecting golden light in the setting sun.He is holding the shoes with two fingers, and holding the skewers in the other hand. At this moment, he is the happiest person in the world.

Keanu's eyes follow Edmundo's shadow, and he swears that he would give anything to make this moment never pass away.

But not long after, this harmonious picture was shattered, not because of him, nor because of Edmondo, but because of the person they met by chance, that River Phoenix who was supposed to be filming with the crew.

It was Keanu who saw him first, and if he could, he'd pretend he didn't see it.

But Edmondo just followed up at this moment: "Have you seen wild cats fighting for courtship?"

He patted Keanu's arm and turned his head to look. There were no stray cats fighting in the alley, only two people, a man and a woman, to be precise, it was Rui Fan and a brown-haired woman they didn't know.

They are kissing.

Is this the unfolding of some third-rate drama?

Keanu felt that he should pull Edmondo and walk away quickly, but just a second before he reached out to pull him, Edmundo left him, facing the beautiful sunset.

"Excuse me, both of you, would you mind taking a photo of my boyfriend and I? Isn't the sunset so beautiful? We also want to leave this romantic scene behind."
