[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

After the meeting concluded that Netflix would take the next route of steadily consolidating its user base, Edmondo stayed in California for a few more days, and everyone working in Silicon Valley soon knew about the big-mouthed blessing of Thomas Randolph The 'Edmundo and his love' thing.

So he simply took Edward Norton to another hotel, and chose the opposite route to Silicon Valley. After Anderson and Lucy were completely over, they met and returned to Los Angeles together.

The time was right, and the soundtrack artist submitted the final version of the score he had written for "First Degree Fear", and Edmondo was satisfied, and he returned to the studio with the tune to continue finishing the film.Norton originally wanted to accompany him until the film was completed, but his agent accepted him a play. If he performed well, he might be on the Broadway stage in the future.

Edmondo had no reason to stop him, so the studio became deserted again, but it didn't last long, and soon Rui Fan finished his commercial performance and returned to Los Angeles with the band.

After running to Edmondo's studio excitedly, only to find that the other party found a room full of strippers to liven up the atmosphere and follow them to learn how to dance some kind of hot dance, he stayed in the studio.

It's a sweet-sounding thing, but it's annoying. Edmondo is fine with having other people around him while he's working, but being stared at the back with resentment is another. What happened, it would be unacceptable for anyone to change.

"Seriously, Rui Fan, you have to stop this childish behavior of 'staring people to death'. Editing movies has occupied more than half of my brain, and I can't handle this."

Edmondo complained rather distressedly that he kept the items in hand, then turned his head and looked at Rui Fan behind him, who was sitting on the sofa and pretending to read a rock magazine. He only heard the condemnation He raised his head slowly.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm not staring at you, I've been reading a magazine." He said fairly, and then picked up the magazine to show Edmondo the inside pages, "Look at this bass, isn't it dazzling?" Very cool."

"...you've been reading that magazine for 4 or 5 days, I'm sure that's enough time for you to read it over and over again." Edmondo gave him a smirk, "If you really read it Instead of wasting time staring at me."

Rui Fan shrugged his nose and stopped talking, he buried his head in the magazine again, as if no matter what the other party said, he would only stick to his own ideas.

Edmondo took a deep breath, and finally decided to settle the matter with an apology, otherwise he would never be able to work with peace of mind.So he walked over and took the magazine from Rui Fan's hand, and sat in the opponent's arms facing each other, then he stretched his arms and put them on Rui Fan's shoulders to shorten the distance, and used his forehead to find the opponent's.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, you didn't disturb my work, the one who really disturbed me." He rubbed the tip of Rui Fan's nose, and said softly, "I shouldn't have gone to the stripper, they were the ones who slowed down Progress, I still want to throw the problem to you, I'm sorry."

"do not--"

Rui Fan was somewhat resistant, he turned his head to avoid Edmondo's intimate gestures, but he couldn't do anything more cruel, such as pushing away the white hair on the director's body to completely extinguish the spark between them, he couldn't do it.

"Look at me, please," Edmondo changed the position of his arms and gently combed the broken hair on the back of Rui Fan's head. They were a bit long, hanging from behind his ears to his shoulders.So he parted a strand from the inside, and kissed gently along the end of the hair to the tip of the ear: "I'm really, really sorry, Rui Fan, I promise I won't do such a thing again next time I cut a film, my dear —will you forgive me if I give you the learned lap dance?"

"I didn't mean that, Dudu." Rui Fan finally turned his head and looked at Edmondo, he took a deep breath, and then said: "It's dangerous to call strippers, in every sense, they may rob you , and possibly some nasty virus—”

"I understand, you are worried about me." Edmondo rubbed his lips affectionately, "It won't happen next time, trust me."

No, you will do it next time, Rui Fan thought a little dejectedly, not only because he knew that he was powerless to change the status quo, but also because he compromised again.

Soon, Edmondo's kiss around Rui Fan's chin had a downward trend, Rui Fan patted his waist to stop it in time, and at this moment he didn't want to continue at all.

"What's wrong?" Edmondo frowned slightly and looked over, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, nothing." Rui Fan shook his head, "I'm just not that interested."

"Oh no problem, you can do whatever you want." Edmondo stopped his flirting, he held Rui Fan's face and pressed a kiss without any lust on his forehead, "Say , what do you want, I will satisfy you as much as possible."

Pausing for a while, Rui Fan rolled his Adam's apple up and down, hesitated and then spoke.

"I just want to hold you for a while, just a little while."

Hugs, just hugs?

Edmondo didn't know what was going on. It seemed as if a certain point on his heart had been tapped suddenly. It didn't hurt or affect him, but it did make him feel sad and uncomfortable.

"Let's hug for a while if you want," he replied.

Then Edmondo wrapped his hands around Rui Fan's neck and hugged him. Rui Fan raised his head cooperatively, then put his chin into the gap between Edmundo's neck, and raised his arms to hug his waist.

It was a warm hug, white and gold, and neither of them spoke.

An uncommon situation happened, and Edmondo suddenly wanted to keep hugging like this forever, to his work, to his communication, to his Internet age, Rui Fan had the fragrance of oranges on his body, and he could smell it all over his body. century.

at this time--

"Hey Dudu! I have to tell you this in person. There is a new game console called PlayStation that is beyond your imagination. It is from Sony. It will be released in December, but good news! They contacted me, thank you for dying My rich dad, Sony is willing to send you two sets in advance to try it out, the mail has been sent, and you can experience it next month!"

Edmondo quickly jumped out of Rui Fan's arms, and then rushed to Anderson who broke into the studio in two steps, hugging his neck and spinning around excitedly.

River Phoenix looked at the two celebrating happily over there in astonishment, switching his eyes back and forth between his empty arms and eyes.

Happiness left so suddenly that he didn't know what to say for a while.

……

"I can't wait a month, my friend, that's too long! Really, it's not going to work." Edmondo paced back and forth in the studio excitedly and irritatedly, "I need a PlayStation, right now, if I don't get it It, I will die."

"—It's too exaggerated, Dudu." Anderson shook his eyebrows, "No one will die because they can't play the game, you can play other games first."

"No, I'm serious." Edmondo said seriously, "Although it's only the first generation, I can't stay in this damn era without her for a minute."

"Her? Are you already obsessed with the game console before seeing it, Dudu." Anderson showed an incomprehensible expression, and then he spread a hand: "But anyway, you can't get it immediately , the game console is in Japan, we are in the United States, your game console must cross the Pacific Ocean to reach you."

Anderson said that's right, it's 1994, and domestic mail takes weeks to arrive, let alone international mail.Edmund took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

There must be another way for him to play quickly.

Aha!

"——Andy, help me book a plane ticket to Tokyo in two days. I will definitely finish editing the film within two days." Edmondo almost jumped up, "The mail can't be sent quickly, I can pick it up, and that It only takes up to three days to get it!"

Anderson: ...

Or Anderson: ?

His longtime friend and manager looked at Rui Fan beside him in disbelief, Rui Fan shrugged and said that he would handle it.Rui Fan turned around, then cleared his throat to attract Edmondo's attention.

"Dudu, I think you can think about it again, if it's just for the game console, two days is really—"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Rui Fan, I forgot about you." Edmondo was in a state of excitement at this time, he licked his lower lip and looked at Anderson, and stretched out two fingers, "Then two air tickets, I Go with Rui Fan—do you want to come, Andy?"

Anderson's eyes widened a little, still in disbelief.

Together?

He would be crazy to agree with them to go to Japan, just for a game console.

And Rui Fan——

Rui Fan stopped talking.

"I'm sorry Anderson, I think everything makes sense." Rui Fan turned to Edmondo without hesitation. It's a fool who can't catch such a favorable vacation opportunity, "I believe in him, everything will definitely work. Get the job done in two days."

traitor!Anderson growled inwardly.

After about half a minute, the agent finally chose to compromise.

"Okay, I'll go and book you plane tickets." Anderson pinched the bridge of his nose and said with a headache, "but the premise must be to complete the work, I will call Paramount to confirm whether you have completed the film of "First Fear" Submit it to them, and if they say they didn't get it, I'll refund your ticket right away."

"No problem!" Edmundo raised his chin, "I can finish it in less than two days."

Anderson would give him a polite smirk.

Just when he was about to say something to ridicule Edmondo, the landline in the next room yelled and interrupted his unspoken words.

Edmondo straightened his collar and walked to the next door with the artificial politeness after excitement: "Excuse me."

……

The landline phone in this office is a very old red style. Since the phone line is not long enough, Edmundo can only pick it up to answer it with some disgust.

"Edmundo Moreira's office, what's the matter—"

"God, Dudu, you answered the phone!" Leonardo's unique voice came from the opposite side, and he sounded extremely anxious, "If it wasn't for the fact that there was nothing I could do, I wouldn't bother with this kind of thing Yours, I'm so sorry, but I have to ask - can you turn down a film offer for me?"

Edmundo's hand holding the microphone stopped for a second or two, then he raised his eyebrows.

"What's the matter?" he asked, "tell me in detail."

"Uh, this matter is a bit complicated, you have to make sure you don't get angry after listening." Leonardo replied after hesitating for a moment, "I really came here to ask for help."

"Why do you think I'll be angry?" Edmondo was a little puzzled, "Did you initiate the script and then break the contract?"

"No, not about that."

"Where is that?"

"It's—a more complicated aspect."

Saying it means not saying it.

Edmundo rolled his eyes towards the ceiling: "Don't be a riddle, Leo, I can't see your face now, if you have to let me guess, then I won't help you, my dear-here Last 5 seconds, tell me what's going on, or I'll hang up."

"Okay, I said—" Leonardo said a little bit like squeezing toothpaste: "The heroine in that film is a veteran Hollywood actor, who is very-interested-interested in my [acting skills], so that She called me herself and asked me to play."

Edmundo stopped unconsciously playing with the phone line: "Then? Why do you want to refuse and why do you think I will be angry?"

"I think—" Leonardo took a deep breath: "She seems, maybe, maybe, to sleep with me."

Edmondo was cold in his seat, and then he couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing flamboyantly.

"What are you laughing at?" Leonardo was puzzled.

"No, it's nothing, baby Leo." Edmondo replied, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I dare say that half of the people in Hollywood want to sleep with you. Am I the only one who thinks this? It's impossible."

No, no, there are many others who think this way, but you are the most special one, Leonardo thought.

And the most special one doesn't take it seriously now, which makes him a little angry and a little frustrated.

"I'm here to ask you to help me, Edmundo, not to laugh at me," he complained. "If you're not going to help me, then I—"

"Okay, I won't tease you." Edmondo interrupted him with a chuckle, "Tell me what you think of the script, whether you want this role or not, you can mention it whatever you want, and I can solve it."

There was silence on the phone for a while.

"That role is not mine. The actress who is the heroine wants to use her salary to appoint me to play it." He expressed his thoughts cryptically.

Edmondo understood what he meant.

The heroine wanted to have sex with him so she called him by name. He didn't like that role, but he couldn't take the initiative to refuse.

"One last question, give me the phone number of the producer." Edmondo said, "Then you just wait for the news, and the result will be there at the latest."

Since Leonardo has no reason to refuse, then he will find a reason for him. Anyway, there are many such 'hidden rules' in Hollywood.

……

After hanging up Leonardo's phone, Edmondo started to operate. He first dialed someone's phone, and that person called another person, and so on.Hollywood is a circle, and there are layers of social circles inside. On average, it only takes 3 phone calls to get something done.

"How did you do it, 10 minutes since we hung up?" Leonardo asked incredulously after reconnecting, "Just a second before you called, my agent got a call, They informed me that I don’t need to go to the crew to report, and they will guarantee that the heroine will not trouble me, what did you tell him, God!”

"Well, this is the importance of the circle." Edmondo dragged his voice lazily, "As for what I said, I told him that you are my sugar baby, because I paid you 300w to accompany you I'm going to Christmas this year."

Leonardo: "???"

Leonardo: "WHAT? What do you say I am yours?"

"Sugarbaby, sugarbaby, didn't I say a word clearly?" Edmundo pretended to be stupid and said, "The quickest and most convenient way to refuse someone's sex transaction is to trade with another human sex, although it is fake Yes, but in order to be more realistic, should you change your name?"

Leonardo didn't say a word, he hung up the phone.

Ten seconds later, the call was called again, and he yelled out the name with a voice that could tear people's ears out.

"D-a-d-d-y! Are you satisfied!"

It has to be said that Edmund didn't feel the slightest bit of interest.

But he had fun.

……

Edmundo left the room with brisk steps.

"Andy, Rui Fan, you must not believe what I just did, I—hi! Why are you here?" There was a new person in the studio hall, so the second half of the sentence that was not finished was caught by Edmund. Swallowing back, he stepped forward to greet the other party, "Is your custody lawsuit over, Ed?"

The person who came was Edward Furlong who had disappeared for several months. He was talking with Anderson, but Rui Fan was gone. The magazine he just read was lying on the ground as if it had been raped.

"Not yet, and on the contrary, the lawsuit is just about to start." Fran hugged Edmondo as he said, patted him on the back, and asked reproachfully: "I heard that you went there not long ago California, why didn’t you tell me, I grew up there, and I’ve also been preparing materials for the lawsuit there, and I just came back today.”

"Sorry, we were going to talk about work, I didn't contact you because I was worried about disturbing you." Edmondo lied very naturally, and then he rubbed Fran's hair, "Hey——you have grown taller, Ed. "

Fran was a little disgusted at touching his hair, but since Edmondo was opposite, he endured it.

"I'm worried about this." Fran diverted his attention and continued on the topic, "I don't know why I've been growing taller like crazy recently, it's not a good sign, if I grow another 2 centimeters, it's custom-made Costumes will have to be remade, damn puberty."

Costumes?

Edmondo blinked.

"I don't know you still accepted the show, what kind of it?"

"Pop music." Fran shrugged, "I'm about to release an album, and this time I came back for this. The new management company intends to let me develop in that direction, so I listened to them and tried to record a song. That song turned out to be a huge hit in Japan. So—"

He paused and continued to add: "The company asked me to go there to promote the new album, so I came to ask you what gifts you want me to bring back. I heard that there are a lot of novelties in Japan."

Oh, what a coincidence.

Edmund raised an eyebrow.

"So - we can take the same flight." He said slowly, under Fran's surprised eyes, Edmondo raised his lips, "Yes, Rui Fan and I also have plans to go to Japan .”

……

After sending Fran away, Edmondo gave his friend and manager a look of disbelief, and they went back to the sofa and sat down.

"I can't believe he's going too, what a coincidence." He sighed and touched his friend's shoulder with his elbow, "Are you sure you don't want to come with us?"

Anderson gave him a weak sneer.

"I won't, your mess, you clean it up yourself." His tone was gloating, "Remember to bring a video recorder, I don't want to miss any gossip between the two of them."

Gossip?What gossip?

Edmondo looked at Anderson suspiciously.

"What do you mean?" he asked. "Who's gossiping with whom, Fran and Ruifan—wait a minute, speaking of Ruifan, where did he go?"

Anderson waved his hand.

"Rui Fan went to buy ice cream, but I think he just doesn't want to listen to you talking on the phone with Leonardo." Open the magazine and leave."

Edmondo: ...

"Okay, then leave him alone, he will definitely appear in front of me tomorrow at the latest." Edmondo waved his hand to bring the topic back to the original direction, "What were you talking about just now?"

"It's nothing, just to remind you." Anderson curled his lips, "You are going to Japan with Rui Fan and Fran, as far as I know, the relationship between the two of them is not very good, and the triangle is the most prone to problems .”

He sat up and continued to draw a triangle with his fingers beside Edmondo.

"You, Rui Fan, Fran, I can't find a combination that is more attractive than this." He added, "Fortunately, Fran is mainly for publicity, and there is not much overlap with your route, but—— I heard People say he has a good chance of winning his own custody cases, and many of them are handled by him, Edward Furlong is definitely not a sheep to be slaughtered, you have to be careful."

Furlong will not be slaughtered by others. This is true. As long as he does not touch drugs and hone his acting skills, he will have his place in Hollywood for the next 40 years.

But for now Edmundo is not worried.

"What are you afraid of? No matter how scary he is, he will stand with me. What I should pay attention to is not to have sex with him before he becomes an adult, not what he will do to me." Edmondo stretched his laziness Standing up, I thought again about going to the room with a landline next door, "But you are right, triangles are indeed prone to problems, so I have to solve this."

Anderson frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Edmondo walked into the next room, and it took a while for the voice of explanation to come from inside.

"Book another ticket for me. I have to call my sugar baby, Leo, and ask him to go to Japan with him. Since you said that triangles are prone to problems, then make another one into a quadrilateral. The problem is not the same. Solve it."

Anderson: ?

What problem was solved?You?
