[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

He didn't stay in Long Beach for too long. After visiting Rui Fan on the crew of "LA Confidential" the next day, Edmondo returned to work and continued to select actors for "Witness for the Prosecution".In fact, in his plan, he shouldn’t be returning so soon, but because the Kim Basinger incident spread somehow, many staff members who are familiar with him in the circle now make jokes from time to time, in order to escape In this case, Edmondo had to start working again.

However, he obviously underestimated the speed and breadth of news dissemination. When he walked into the set, the air froze for two seconds, and then he immediately aroused good-natured ridicule from the people around him. Even the casting director who greeted him wanted to make fun of him with The misadventure to Basinger crowded him, and he didn't stop until Edmondo pretended he was really going to be angry.

"Okay, let's get down to business, actor." Casting director Benjamin put on his glasses, and handed the folder that had been under his arm to Edmondo who sat down on the main seat, "I think your previous entanglement can be solved." Putting it down, I don’t know who introduced it, but in the past two days, I have received three audition applications from top acting actors.”

"Top acting actor?" Edmondo opened the file, and on the first few pages he saw Forrest Gump's big headshot, and then he raised his eyebrows at the casting director, "Tom Hanks? An actor like him who has tailor-made scripts for him is interested in "Witness for the Prosecution" and plans to play the villain, tell me whether the world is crazy or I am crazy."

The casting director seemed to have expected such a reaction from him, shrugged helplessly, and then asked him to continue to turn backwards: "Look, there are more important ones in the future."

Edmondo dubiously opened the file, the picture of Dustin Hoffman on it almost made him jump out of the chair, after he stabilized his body, he eagerly continued to read, besides the two mentioned above, there are Nicolas Cage and Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

Almost all the currently recognized acting schools are in his trap, which is very strange, Edmondo thought, although he is indeed a genius director recognized by Hollywood, and the script has also been awarded the title of Guanshan Agatha Christie's unpublished works. But this role is not a leading role first, and secondly, it is not a positive image. The highlight moment is the last few minutes of the shocking reversal, and it also ended up being stabbed to death by the heroine. It stands to reason that there should not be so many big names Actors are interested.

"God——" Edmondo pinched the bridge of his nose, and suddenly felt that it might not be a good idea to go on vacation. He tapped his fingers on the information regularly, "Forget it, it's a good thing to have a big name join, you and Have they scheduled an audition?"

"It's been arranged. Today is Hoffman and Day-Lewis, so we made an appointment at the usual time." The casting director glanced at the wall clock, "I think they should be here soon, there are still five minutes left, let's get ready."

Edmondo covered his eyes in pain.

Sometimes having too many options and too many picks is not a good thing.

It took a week, and at the end of June, it was finally confirmed that the British actor Daniel Day-Lewis would play the role. They discussed all the specific matters, and finally set the start time for early September. Edmondo shook hands with him, and then said Don't worry about timing, the film won't take too long, he'll be done with work by the end of September at the latest, and it won't be released until Christmas this year—if the reviews go well.

After it was confirmed, Edmondo once again resumed his life in the studio. While trimming the source of "Innocence" at a slow speed, he polished the "Witness for the Prosecution" that is about to be officially launched, and from time to time he and other people from all over the world The friends chatted on the phone, and the most frequent calls were those who are currently living in London. After all, Agatha is British, and British elements are indispensable to make this movie well.

Three months later, half a month before Rui Fan finished filming "LA Confidential", "Witness for the Prosecution" started. There are a large number of British staff, which leads to an overly British atmosphere on the set. At one point, the delivery guy who came to deliver the pizza thought he had too much and had hallucinations.

"God, I feel like my head is about to explode. Not only do I have to listen to pure English every day, but I also have to maintain the German accent in the play. I almost forgot how I used to speak." Nicole Kidman said at the start of filming A week later, he whispered to Edmondo, "It's terrible. When I get home, even my mother won't recognize me."

Edmondo gave her a gentle smile.

"You have to know that the director you are facing now is a French-Brazilian half-breed. He didn't start learning English until he was 13 years old, my dear Nicole, so—" He took off the headset and faced Nicole Kee Deman's horrified eyes continued to speak in English mixed with at least three flavors, "——Don't complain to me, there will always be someone who is more miserable than you."

Nicole looked at him and sighed, then drew a cross on her chest.

Edmondo couldn't help but twitched his forehead a few times, but before he could tease anything, the loud director's assistant interrupted him by shouting at the door.

"Someone is looking for you, sir, and I let him in!"

"—Please don't be so rash, I didn't hire you to let everyone in who came to me, you have to at least tell me who it is." Edmondo rolled his eyes and walked towards the door , "Don't tell me it's the Treasury Department again—oh hey! Long time no see!"

What appeared at the door was not the short, shrewd middle-aged man from the Ministry of Finance, but Leonardo, who hadn't seen him for nearly half a year. He was still equally charming, but he wore a funny Mexican-style eaves like a tourist Hat, head swinging from side to side like a pendulum, with hands behind his back, is showing him a bright smile: "I'm back Dudu! I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much—"

Oh--

This is so cute. Compared with the awkward expression, this kind of direct point is more enthusiastic, and it can poke him more. The corners of Edmondo's mouth raised, and he walked towards him at a faster pace.

However, when he got close to him, he realized that something was wrong. First, Leonardo's hands were always behind his back. Secondly, Leonardo never moved his heels from the beginning, and stayed in place all the time.This is abnormal, if you don't see him for a few days, he will rush to give Edmundo a hug, plus countless kisses, so-Edmundo slowed down and squinted his eyes to try to find out the problem.

In a sense, Leonardo is a childish ghost, but a childish ghost will also have a successful day.

Just like now.

"Look how happy you are! See who else I have left to see you—George! Go, let your other daddy see how amazing you are!"

As Leonardo's voice fell, a black figure flashed from behind him and rushed towards Edmondo. The white-haired director couldn't dodge and was thrown to the ground. Fortunately, the floor behind him was not that solid. The concrete floor, otherwise he thought his back would be broken, and he couldn't find any reason to blame this somewhat 'savage' guy.

After all, what's wrong with puppies?

"George! You've grown up so much! Daddy's good boy!" Edmondo rolled on the ground with the poor dog, who had taken off his poor coat, and he rubbed the furry dog ​​hard. Then he accepted the baptism of the other party's saliva. After playing enough, he remembered Leonardo on the side, and asked symbolically: "When did you come back?"

"Two days ago."

Leonardo, who was neglected, flattened his mouth, but in the end he didn't care about his "son". He stretched out his hand and pulled Edmondo up from the ground. Edmundo arranged a half-hour break, and then he brought With Leonardo and the dog son leaving the indoor scene to chat nearby.

When they came to a place away from the crowd, Leonardo was finally able to say what he had been holding back for a long time. He first gave Edmondo a longing hug, and pointed to his lips with a bit of coquettishness: "6 months and I think I need a welcome kiss."

"Your welcome kiss is gone, and I decided to cancel it the moment your son bumped into me." Edmundo reached out and pushed his face away, and said lazily, "As compensation, you can come over at night."

"It's fair, but it's a pity." Leonardo blinked, but he couldn't hear the pity in his voice, "But I don't want to wait until night, since the welcome kiss you gave me is gone, then Just let me give you one instead."

As he said that, he quickly avoided Edmundo's hand, embraced his back and kissed him, this time Edmundo did not refuse.He has just been working intensely for 3 months and he thinks he has the right to live a day and enjoy life.

"—Yes, but I still have to say, your skills have regressed, Leo." Edmondo panted provocatively, and then moved his hips, "Please don't hug so tightly, you have to know, because your son My tailbone is still hurting."

"He's your son too, and you named him George, remember?" Leonardo leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth again, and rolled away the rest with the tip of his tongue, moving his hands along the way, "Don't be sad, dear , tell me again, where does it hurt? I'll rub it for you."

The distance between the two was getting shorter and shorter, and something was about to happen. The headset hung around Edmondo's neck suddenly screamed like a 'deceitful corpse', and it was not a scream from a single person , is the voice of a group of people one after another.

"I'd say they'd do it!--don't hold back, pay your bills, boys!"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, if they find out, you won't continue! Do you still want to listen to the live broadcast?"

"Who doesn't want to hear it, get out, now—quiet!"

Edmondo: ?

Or Edmondo: ...

After turning off the headset function in desperation, they each took a step back and separated for about half a minute.

Leonardo burst out laughing uncontrollably.

"Oh, it looks like someone forgot to turn off his portable amplifier." He pointed to the headset with a smirk, "Now don't try to deny it, so many people have heard you say let me go at night, I say Right, George?"

The big dog squatted on the ground obediently. Although he couldn't understand, he still tilted his head decently.

What a disaster.

……

Facing the eyes of his colleagues, Edmondo continued to work expressionlessly, and nothing could affect his progress except his own decision.

To be honest, he didn't mind if someone heard him flirting with Leo, what really cared about him was that he would make such a low-level mistake.

"That's not a low-level mistake. It can happen to everyone. Looking at it from another perspective, your employees didn't do anything excessive except set up a |gamble| game for it." At night Leonardo took George moved into Edmondo's hotel room, and immediately hugged him from behind to comfort him when he noticed that he was in a bad mood, "You are pushing yourself too hard, you should relax properly."

ha!He, Edmondo, was told he needed to relax?

"Oh-honey, I've had enough fun and enough to relax, if I'm a workaholic you don't want to come in my room tonight." He turned and changed the hug to face to face, "My emotions have always been a The question is, who made me the most typical type of Pisces? Sometimes you have to believe in constellations."

"Really?" Leonardo obviously didn't believe it. "According to the zodiac sign, I should be a Scorpio. My appearance is cold and vengeful. Do you think I am like that?"

"But I heard that Scorpio's life is very good." Edmondo blinked, with obvious intentions, "Isn't it?"

"—that's true." Now he believed it again.

"I admit that to a certain extent, the constellations also have a certain degree of credibility." Leonardo said reluctantly, "but other than that, such as strong jealousy, inability to tolerate partner disobedience, etc. It’s all fake, at least not reflected in me.”

Edmondo waved his hand indifferently.

"Okay, I know you don't have any jealousy or grudges anymore, you are an atypical Scorpio, that's fine." He said and kissed his ear, "Now, should we verify the article about life| Son | Good way to say?"

Unexpectedly, however, Leonardo did not respond to his flirting this time.

"I have something very important to tell you, Edmundo. It's very important. It's about, uh, about our future." He suddenly pressed Edmundo's shoulder with a serious expression on his face Say, "It took me a long time to come up with these words, and I hope you'll listen to them."

The pink bubbles in the room burst and disappeared instantly.

Edmondo frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.

This is what to do, not to—

As if to test his worst conjecture, Leonardo took him to the window, and then suddenly knelt down: "Edmondo, I think you know, you are not only sexual|attractive to me , I don't want to maintain a hookup relationship, I'm obsessed with you, I want to go on an adventure with you, watch the sunrise and sunset, dance in the rain, roll in the snow...I don't just like you, I—"

FUCK NO!

Edmondo screamed in his head, he didn't want this!hell!How did you come to this step again!God, who will save him!

Perhaps his desire to ask for help was too strong, just when Leonardo took a deep breath and was about to put his hand into his pocket for the final step, the phone in Edmondo's room rang.

Praise God!

Edmondo quickly left the window and rushed towards the phone. No matter who was on the other side, he was his greatest benefactor at this moment.

"Hey, Eddie, I hope I didn't disturb your rest." The phone was connected, and Lucy's elegant and deep voice came from the opposite side, "I just want to ask you for an authorization for the use of 2 million internationally circulated With the authority of US dollars, I found business opportunities in Asia, just in the past two years.”

Oh, it seems he thanked the wrong one.

The devil should be praised.

Edmundo sneered in his heart, and then agreed casually. Of course, as a financial advisor, Lucy has always been responsible to him, so even though he didn't know what the money was for, he still handed over the authorization.

"You can use whatever you want, as long as it is not smuggling or anything that violates international law."

Through the mirror not far away, he quietly observed Leonardo behind him. The blond actor looked extremely depressed, but to Edmondo's relief, he resumed his standing posture and put the small box in his pocket. Going back, that means the alarm is off.

Edmundo heaved a sigh of relief, quickly hung up the phone with the financial advisor, then put on a smile and came back to Leonardo's side.

"What did you just say?" He asked with a smile, "It's all because of the damn phone call, please say it again."

If he did say it again, Edmundo didn't mind pointing it out and rejecting him.

Leonardo knew this very well in his heart, so he evoked a somewhat forced smile.

"It's nothing, let's try the Scorpio job|child|OK, is it true?"
