[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

The phone is placed in a very clever place, anyone who picks up the phone must stay in the sun and receive the baptism of the holy sunshine of Los Angeles. This is not arranged by Edmondo. Two workers were moving his desk that day. , I was tired and took a rest halfway, so I let him discover this wonderful place.

Edmundo stepped forward and put the microphone close to his ear, then pulled the swivel chair next to him and sat down. He stared at the window frame, using defocusing method to make himself look like he could look directly at the sun outside the window, while the hanging wall beside the window with a crucifix.There was a voice from the other side of the ocean, and it sounded like everyone in Mikami's office was going crazy.

They should do that. Because of Edmondo’s joining, Capcom noticed this project, and a little publicity before the release immediately made this game explode|explode across Japan. It sold nearly 20 in the first week after it was released. share.In Japan, this is an achievement worthy of worship by the whole company.

"—The executives are all mad. They regret selling you the film and television adaptation rights of this game. Do you know Eddie, the abuse of you in the company now even overwhelms the celebration." Shinji Mikami said in a joking tone , It can be heard that he is quite satisfied with the current ending. Those bastards who only care about money and not games should be punished like this. "By the way, do you plan to launch an adapted movie next year?"

Next year is too soon, Edmondo looked at the orange sunlight in his hand and slowly gave a negative answer, "What I want to shoot is a story, and the difference between a story and a game is still very big--speaking of this, when do you plan to shoot?" Make a sequel."

This is also what Shinji Mikami is worried about. It is a good thing that his game is popular, but with the intervention of capital, his game can no longer be regarded as "his" game.The young man tapped his fingers on the table irritably, then flipped the phone to the other side, stroking his hair.

After hesitating for a long time to make sure that there is no high-level eyeliner around him, he muttered: "This—to be honest, the high-level hopes that we will make the second part of this game before the popularity of this game dies down, and they don't care about the plot, they only want the so-called The "pattern" of the game will expand and expand, and I can't wait to launch more than ten games to make money."

Edmondo smiled slightly. This situation is inevitable. He had expected it a long time ago, no, history had expected it a long time ago.He said: "In this case, it is better to design a complete origin story for it, which revolves around the virus leak of the first part. To tell you the truth, my script has been roughly written, maybe you will want to read it. .”

Shinji Mikami paused with his hand holding the microphone. Before that, he didn't expect such a development. He was about to refuse, but then he thought that the company's senior management was pressing hard, and he really needed to quickly come up with a plan to appease them. Maybe it won't be used in the future, but it seems like an excellent solution for now.

"That's really nice, thank you." He replied cheerfully, and in order to repay Edmundo, he decided to give him a message, "You know Eddie, I heard someone said that the game will be released in North America next week. , if you want to make a little money, you'd better get some from Japan now."

What does it mean?Edmondo was puzzled by the conversation that shouldn't have existed a few seconds ago. What happened to Shinji Mikami? Did he have strong confidence in the game and believed that it would sell out?

Before he could ask this question, Shinji Mikami answered him.

"Because of the exchange rate." He whispered, "Recently, I don't know if it's a new policy or something. The exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar has risen like a rocket. Some people predict that it will continue in the future. Remember the situation when Sony bought Colombia? , they said we were about to have a second time."

Having said that, Edmundo immediately sensed the danger. He has experienced this era, and after such a reminder, the memories of the past are played in front of his eyes like a film.This is exactly the precursor to the financial crisis in 97. Starting from Southeast Asia, it first affected Japan, and then the United States. The reason why Edmundo remembered it clearly was because he lost more than 3000 million assets in the US stock market that time.

Responding casually to Shinji Mikami's suggestion, Edmondo thought of the call from the devil a few days ago. That day, the other party asked himself for the right to use the international account, and revealed that there were 2 million US dollars in assets. If he If he is targeting the financial crisis, then he will become a murderer indirectly.

It's too bad, when he thinks he's going to have a good life, something like this always happens.

Edmondo didn't want to be a murderer, not even indirectly, so the top priority was to take back the rights in Lucy's hands.He hung up the phone with Shinji Mikami and signaled to the director's assistant to give him a few more minutes, then called Lucy's office.The devil leader had better stay there obediently, Edmondo turned his eyes back to the statue of Jesus on the wall, his eyes were quite mocking.

"Look at your good son, God," he said to himself while he was connected, "and not just this one, but another white one too, and when they're done with me, you'd better show up in person Explain to me!"

As his words fell, the statue of Jesus on the wall fell to the ground without warning.Edmondo was startled, and looked around the room with a guilty conscience. He was terrified. Since angels and demons are real, it means that God is too, and it is very likely that he heard what he just said, and That statue fell to teach himself a lesson.

The nervous Edmondo changed his posture and sat on the chair. He swallowed, and then he encouraged himself in his heart, "Is this all you can do, knock down a statue? Why don't you stand up and tell me directly— —”

"tell you what?"

The phone was connected when he didn't notice it, and Lucy's voice startled him, and Edmondo, who was bathed in the holy light, almost jumped up and overturned the phone, but fortunately he stabilized himself.Holding down his beating heart, he took a deep breath, and then responded to the demon: "It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself-speaking of business, I'm sorry, Lucy, I have to take back the authorization I gave you."

The demon obviously didn't expect this, and his voice changed from elegant, dignified and sure of success to impatience and disbelief, asking loudly why he did this.

"I'm helping you make money, Eddie! You can't just- what little bitch gave you pillow wind to make you stop trusting me? I must say, that was a bad decision, totally!" Lucy Furious, not at all like the imaginary devil king of hell, Edmondo guessed that he still had a lot of restrictions on himself, such as not being able to manipulate him without authorization.

Immediately diverge your thinking, since the devil can't do whatever he wants, isn't there some rules that the angel can't break?Out of the corner of Edmondo's eye, he caught a glimpse of the statue of Jesus on the ground. Perhaps he just didn't notice it. The statue fell into the sunlight and was stained orange red like himself.

You will forgive me, will you not.

Edmundo raised one corner of his mouth, and decided to use human methods to trick the devil. He first sighed deeply, and then said into the microphone, "I'm sorry, Lu, that wasn't my intention. Michelle Tell me what you want to get involved in is the financial crisis, and my conscience tells me I can't let you do that."

He paused for a moment, then imagined the devil's expression of hatred at this time and continued: "Although I don't know anything about finance, I know that once a financial crisis occurs, countless people will lose their minds and commit suicide. You hand over the authority and stop immediately." I don't ask about other things about this matter, you are still my best financial advisor."

The devil was silent for a while, as if he had relaxed because he had a specific object of hatred, he resumed his usual elegance, and then readily agreed to all Edmondo's requests. "I will stop the operation at hand, but think clearly, we have started for a few days, a sudden stop will cause us to lose 300w, is this acceptable to you?"

Edmondo agreed without thinking, and soon, they ended the call.

To be honest, he couldn't figure out the relationship between angels and demons. Although they seemed to be at odds on the surface, he didn't know whether they would exchange information or do other activities in private.If Lucy just went to Michelle to discuss an explanation, then Edmondo would be directly exposed, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

So he is betting that the devil will take this boring loss, and then find a chance to take revenge on the angel.Edmundo suffered like this for a whole week, only maintaining 2-3 hours of sleep a day, which directly slowed down the filming speed a lot.And just when everyone started to worry, Edmundo found an excuse to contact Michelle, and tested him in the name of sending something. The final result satisfied him. Michelle knew nothing about that matter .

Edmondo finally relaxed. He lit a Cuban cigar he had never tried before and opened a bottle of Scotch whiskey to celebrate.But it didn't take long for him to realize that he couldn't always be in fear, and had to take the initiative to find out the truth.

It's time to pick up last year's plan. He wants to go to the junction and find out about the two minotaurs.

However, it seems that whenever he gets closer to the truth, someone will jump out to stop him, and this person refers to Rui Fan.On the night when Edmondo finished the movie, he used the party to get laughing gas, but before he was happy for a second, Rui Fan appeared in front of him like a shining messenger of justice, with His blessing.

Edmondo almost fainted.

"Congratulations, you have finished another excellent movie, and I look forward to the next year when we can be on the podium at the same time." Rui Fan gave him a warm hug, "I'm sorry, Dudu, that movie couldn't be finished as scheduled, All actors' schedules were delayed by 3 weeks."

There was a kind of pious thought in Rui Fan's voice, which almost instantly wiped out Edmondo's anger.Forget it, laughing gas can be used at any time, Edmondo comforted himself a few words, and then gave Rui Fan a hug back.Then they participated in the farewell party held by the "Witness for the Prosecution" crew. Many people looked at them with ambiguous eyes. Edmondo told him to ignore those people, and then took him to the darkroom.

"Dudu, where is this place?" Rui Fan was drunk several glasses of wine, said that Hu was not very quick, he looked around blankly, "Are you going to kidnap me or something, why did you come here?"

Edmondo stroked his hair a little irritably, and guided him to take off his coat. "Shut up, and then kiss me well." After all, although his tongue was paralyzed, the function of connecting the kiss would not be taken away.He has been tormented by fairy tales for a month, and he planned to have a temporary 'breakup' tonight, but he was stopped by Rui Fan meaninglessly, so - now he needs an angersex that can make him forget everything.

But at this moment, Rui Fan pushed him away uncharacteristically, and then looked serious. "Don't always talk about this as soon as you meet. I want to know more about what you have experienced recently, who you met, and what interesting things you encountered. I don't want to leave only sex between us."

Edmondo felt something bad for a while, this scene seemed familiar, before Leonardo went 'crazy' he expressed his boredom with sex like this, so he pursed his lips and folded his arms rather nervously.

"Uh, Rui Fan?"

"what?"

"I want to ask you a little question." Edmondo leaned on the back shelf with his arms folded and lowered his head, bit his lower lip from left to right, and then he asked as if he had finally finished his mental construction: "You're not going to—you're not going to get down on your knees all of a sudden, and bring out some little box and hold it to me, are you?"

Rui Fan was stunned.

Kneel down, locket?

He dismantled the meaning in his heart.

"Dudu, what's the matter with what you just said?" He narrowed his eyes and asked back, and then quickly grasped the second point in less than a second. "Wait—also?"

He picked out the word, and after seeing Edmundo's shock that he couldn't hide in time, he flushed instantly, and his whole person became extremely angry, and even those glasses of high alcohol didn't make him become In this way, and Edmondo did it with only one word.

"Tell me, baby Dudu, which bastard proposed to you?" He gritted his teeth and approached him.

Edmondo inexplicably saw the ruthlessness of a western cowboy in him through the strength of wine, and at the same time confirmed that Rui Fan just had a fit of sadness and didn't intend to do that.

"Nobody proposed," he said. "I made a mistake, a slip of the tongue, that's all."
