[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

Edmondo Moreira and River Phoenix, best friends who are known in Hollywood, are once again in a cold war for unknown reasons.The northern hemisphere has entered winter in an all-round way, and with the occasional snowflakes falling, the news of the two's quarrel spreads in Hollywood for a while, and people make up all kinds of novel reasons to explain it.

Seeing that things were not going well, someone who was always forgotten in this friendship finally couldn't bear to stand up for mediation. On Saturday afternoon, Keanu Reeves walked into the gate of the manor wearing a black trench coat. Walking away from the negotiation meeting with Warner, if nothing else, he will be involved in their next project, with Al Pacino.

"Really, then congratulations in advance, Al Pacino is a good actor, you will gain a lot." In the interval of panting, Edmondo replied, "When this movie is finished, you will It can be stabilized in the ranks of the A-list, and maybe it can join the $2kw club.”

"Thank you, but—I'm not here to talk about this." Keanu smiled helplessly, "I want to talk to you about other things."

Edmondo stopped. He was practicing weight-bearing squats in front of the mirror in the gymnasium in the manor. The primary purpose was to practice buttocks, and the secondary purpose was to forget about the troubles with Rui Fan.Edmondo saw Keanu's expression through the mirror that covered the entire wall, and quickly guessed the purpose of his visit this time.

"Oh, dear, if you want to talk about Rui Fan, then I advise you not to." Edmundo put down the small weight barbell on his waist and waved his hand at Keanu, "Talk about other things, such as your movie, It was hard for me to change my mood.”

"I understand that you can't listen to anything now, but I can't just watch you guys quarrel and then have a cold war, just like it was back in 93." Keanu squatted down in front of Edmondo, and then pulled him "I've talked to Rui Fan on the phone, and I have a general understanding of how things happened from his point of view. Now you have to tell me your (point of view) too, so that I can make a better judgment."

Edmundo withdrew his hand and stood up, the refusal was very obvious.

"It's not necessary, Keanu, it's my fault, I was too arrogant to hurt his fragile heart. I have no right to be angry, you don't need to mediate between us, like many times before, get out of bed first , then reconciled, and finally moving on like nothing happened." He said, "Hell, we two are like Elizabeth and Darcy, no matter what happens in the middle, we always get back together in the end, it's just a matter of time. "

Edmondo is too negative, this is not the ending Keanu wanted.

"But--"

"Oh my god! So you won't stop this topic after saying anything, right? Very good, then I'll go." Edmundo turned around and angrily packed all his equipment into a gym bag, and then pointed He poked Keanu's chest, "Just talk to the air and sandbags here, I think they will be happy to be your audience."

Ignoring Keanu's persuasion, Edmundo picked up his backpack and went downstairs.

He chose a gym with the best reputation and not far away, expecting to meet a beautiful woman on a date to make him completely forget about these things, but he didn't meet the beautiful woman, but met Brad Pitt first.

When Edmundo rejected the private lesson at the front desk and pushed the door in, Pete was sitting on a chair talking to a man in a suit, with two boxing gloves thrown beside him, his upper body was bare, and a towel was wrapped around his neck , with a lot of sweat on his body, it looks like he just finished exercising.

Pete noticed Edmundo's existence almost immediately, as if seeing some valuable treasure, he jumped up from his chair and called the man in the suit in front of him to say hello to Edmundo.

"It seems that Lady Luck still cares about me." He blocked Edmundo's way, and then naturally embraced his shoulders with an affectionate look, "What did I say, the most important thing in Hollywood is a good director .”

Edmondo, who knew nothing about the situation, mercilessly shook off Pete's arm. He stood aside, and was surprised to find that the man in the suit who had just talked to Pete had worked with him during the "Entanglement" period. global project manager.

"With all due respect, Pete, we haven't gotten to that point yet." He first smirked at Pete, and then greeted the project manager, "Meet you again, Mr. Manager, you don't look like you're here to exercise .”

The manager shook his hand and nodded.

"I came here specifically to find Brad to talk about cooperation." He said, "Not long ago, director Martin Brest approached us and said that he had a script that had existed for a long time and wanted to make it, but because he had several movies at the same time. It needs to be filmed, so if you want to sell the script to us, the condition is that you must find a director he is satisfied with to take over."

"Yes, we were talking about this just now, and we were talking about how many good directors there are in Hollywood to choose from, so you came in." Pete, who had just been teased by Edmundo, found the right time to insert the topic, he He stepped forward and patted the person in charge on the shoulder, "I will be the leading actor in this movie. If you join, I think the result will be even more surprising."

Brad Pitt is the typical 'frat boy' boy, and Edmondo gave him another smirk: "Thanks for the compliment, but my schedule is full, and I'm afraid this won't work."

"You misunderstood. This project is not for these two years. According to the process, the crew members will be confirmed in the middle of 97, and then the filming will start at the end of the year or in the spring of the following year." The person in charge quickly explained, "The company also has many projects. We have to time them so that we don't crash with ourselves and distract the box office."

If it was the end of 97, the schedule issue would not be an excuse, Edmondo thought, in order to be able to catch up with Digital Domain to produce special effects for them, he and Leonardo's movie would be finished before the end of the year, and this plan he It has been shared with Anderson in advance.

"Maybe, send me the plan first." He chose the safest way to respond, "After all, the project time is still long enough for me to contact Martin before making a decision."

Several people chatted for a while, and soon the project leader left the gym. Pete kept glancing at Edmondo. Just when Edmundo was about to leave the area to look for equipment, he suddenly invited him to box. , but his invitation sounded more like a provocation to Edmondo.

"Mick Lodge, Clint Eastwood, even Sylvester Stallone have been knocked over by me on this stage, I don't think you dare to face me face to face."

Brad = Pete can bring down Mick - Lodge?

Edmondo stopped in his tracks, and he accepted Pete's challenge with a contemptuous smirk.

"I want to see how good a guy who can bring down a gold glove can fight."

……

Apparently Pete lied about his ability. It was impossible for him to bring down the Gold Glove player. In just 10 minutes, he was pushed to the ground three times to greet him. Out of respect for that handsome face, Edmond Duo didn't attack there, but he broke Edmondo's lower lip after several attacks.

In the 13th minute, Edmondo knocked Pete head-on for the fourth time. He aligned his gloves like a professional boxer, then stepped on top of Pete, and kneed him in a victorious posture. live on his chest.

"I'm sorry, I have never paid attention to orthodox boxing matches. I learned this posture from the street. What's the matter, can the person who has won the gold gloves not even be able to stop this?" He leaned over and bit the glove with his teeth Pulling off the Velcro, he wiped off the blood on his lips with the back of his hand and patted Pete's cheek with his hand, "Did you get beaten up, poor boy."

Pete didn't refute, just looked at Edmondo, at his white hair soaked with sweat, at his skin reddened by exercise, and at his blue eyes with strong emotions.

He is above him.

He heard his own heartbeat.

"God, you really fit this kind of battle-damaged mixed-blood look, so beautiful that you want people to break you." Pete sighed and said, "That's--I can't explain this primitive impulse, I want to see you A little more messy, a little more miserable."

He greedily licked every inch of his skin with his eyes, and then suddenly reached out and hugged Edmondo violently. Edmundo was not prepared to be successfully attacked by him, and the two exchanged positions.

"I'm afraid not, you can't hurt me at all." Edmundo, who was pressed to the ground, didn't panic at all, and moved in a comfortable position, "It seems that you are more likely to be broken and messed up. , dear, Pete."

"Don't call me Pete, we used to be very close." Pete also dropped his gloves, and he bent down to touch Edmondo's forehead, "Do you want to relive it?"

If it's Pete--

Well, at least not bad.

Edmondo's white eyelashes trembled, and then the corners of his mouth curled into an intoxicating arc.

"Why not."

……

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, at Tobey Maguire's home, Leonardo sits morosely on the couch, his blond hair touching the floor.He has just returned to the United States after a phased filming, and his birthday is 3 days away. They plan to make a big one and get Edmondo to agree to be his boyfriend at the party.

"That's impossible, you can be his boyfriend in your dream." Toby mocked, "I reminded you a long time ago, Edmondo is not the kind of person who will stay for one person, you have to If you like him, just like him, you still have to hide your thoughts and approach him, now it’s all right, it’s you who is uncomfortable.”

Leonardo sent a condemning look to his friend.

"You told me to get close to him first and then find a chance to take him down!" He gritted his teeth viciously and complained, "Look, it's useless at all!"

"I was a suggestion, and who knows that you will be the one who will be taken down, Leo." Toby rolled his eyes, then took a piece of pizza from the table and ate it, "You'd better figure it out quickly, I heard that Edmundo and Rui Fan just broke up, this is your perfect opportunity."

"What?" Leonardo obviously didn't know this, he turned over and got up from the sofa, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "You said you broke up with Rui Fan? When did it happen?"

"Just recently." Toby recalled, "I heard that Edmundo seems to have taken a fancy to Rui Fan's younger brother."

Leonardo couldn't stop laughing, he had met Rui Fan's younger brother, that Joaquin Phoenix, and to be honest, he might indeed temporarily attract Edmundo's attention.

"Damn it, there are always men looking for him." Leonardo pulled the pillow beside him to vent his anger, "No, I have to find a way to make him focus on me so that he can't ignore me and make him realize In his heart, he loves me the most!"

Toby didn't respond, he ate his pizza slowly.

"Come on." He replied perfunctorily, "If you figure out a way, remember to tell me."

He didn't notice at all that his friend's eyes gradually became strange.

"Toby?"

"Ok?"

"Am I your best friend?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then when your best friend encounters relationship problems, shouldn't you try your best to help?"

"Of course, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to, uh, let you pretend to have a crush on me."

"But—poof! Cough cough!" Toby almost choked to death on the cheese on the pizza, he stared at the past, "What did you say?"

"Just pretend to create a love rival for Edmundo, let's flirt with him in front of him, and let him know how important I am to him." Leonardo clasped his hands together and begged his friend, "On the birthday party Just one day! Please Toby!"

What kind of shit idea is this, Edmundo would eat it?

Tobey Maguire looked at his friend like a fool before throwing the pizza in Leonardo's face.

"I'm not doing it, sober up, eat some pizza and calm down, man."
