[American Entertainment] Born to be passionate

"So your boy gives you something he made himself, silver, set on a leather strap, that pokes your switch perfectly, and it's going to be the most eye-catching thing on the show that."

McQueen, who was in the studio rushing to make jewelry, began to string pearls, while tilting his head and clamping the microphone, he summarized what Edmondo had just said to him.After being affirmed by Edmondo, he put down the string of pearls in his hand, and took a deep breath.

"Don't whet my appetite, Eddie, tell me what that is." The designer left the design table with the microphone, and if he didn't get an answer, he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight, "Please help my brain." For the sake of it, tell me what hits your switch."

It’s not that Edmondo doesn’t want to tell him, it’s that you have to see it with your own eyes to appreciate its beauty. The white-haired director is lying on his side on the big hotel bed, holding a microphone in one hand and his gift in the other. , and then let out another exclamation of satisfaction.

"Have you ever raised a dog, Alex." Edmondo did not answer directly, but asked a question. He looked at the thing against the light, and the silver lock made a clattering sound, "Maybe you have seen those who put dogs Mad dog biting gear, kind of like the one Hannibal Lecter wears in The Silence of the Lambs, but cooler."

McQueen froze.

"Wait—you mean, muzzle?" he guessed cautiously. "Did he give you a silver muzzle, O Virgin Mary!"

"Yep! That's the thing!" Edmundo replied cheerfully, "but it's different from the normal ones. This one is more punk, and it looks more like a pair of maces. Leo replaced the steel wire with a silver tusk. The tooth, he personally went to the silver mine to find it and polished it himself, if the time is more relaxed, the effect will be better."

McQueen imagined the renderings, a leather half-faced mouth|cover, inlaid with silver fangs, and wearing it to open the mouth forcibly can present an effect similar to that of a beast.

This is a decoration full of tension, darkness and primitive wildness, just imagining it makes his blood run wild, McQueen thought, this thing will not only poke Edmondo's switch, but also poke more human switch.

"And do you know what's the best thing?" Edmondo said in a low excited tone, "What's even better is that Leo handed this thing to me and told me that he wanted me to help him wear it. Go- I don't know why, but at that moment I thought- Fu*k!"

According to these words, McQueen instantly drew a picture of the scene in his mind: Edmundo sat lazily on his throne wearing a diamond-encrusted cloak like a fatuous tyrant, and the only beast that could threaten him was sitting on the throne. swear to him.

In order to show loyalty, the beast made a torture tool that could restrain itself and presented it to the tyrant.

And the beautiful tyrant played with the object, and while he was happy, he allowed the beast to approach him and kiss the back of his hand. into the hands of a handsome tyrant.

Who is restricting who, and who is in the final control.

Fascinated by everything he had built in his head, McQueen vowed to put that scene on the show, and the excited designer dropped the microphone, not noticing that the call was cut off long before he fell into fantasy.

In a hotel near the Gulf of Mexico, Edmundo held the microphone with two fingers and squinted at the instigator who interrupted the call.

"Do you like what you see?" Leonardo, who was wearing a white shirt and overalls, gave a retro salute and asked, raising his chin slightly.

No, that's not Leonardo, that's Jack Dawson.

"Wow-oh." Edmundo raised his eyebrows and sighed after looking up and down, "You stole Jack's costume? Jim would have to go crazy if he saw him."

"What about you (Howauoutyou)?" he asked, "What would you do if you saw it?"

Edmondo put the modified mouth|set on his hand and turned it around, then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lowly.

"Crazy as well," he replied. "Come in."

……

The next morning, Cameron suspended the shooting tasks of the entire team and went with Edmondo to the warehouse where the props were stored. After experiencing the baptism of the hurricane and the tsunami, the inside was in a mess, and the fallen props were covered with various Dirty things, even dead kelp and jellyfish.

"I'm sorry, Jim, you did lose a lot." Edmundo comforted him as he walked through the mud in borrowed rain boots, "but don't worry, you can postpone it, and I'll get someone to write a report for the finance to give You write a check, and when the time comes, you just put the amount you need to budget on it."

Since Edmundo and DreamWorks joined in, things have become much simpler, especially on the issue of money. Cameron thought he had been entangled for a long time this time, but he didn't expect Edmundo to solve it with a single sentence. All questions, but also let him 'don't worry'.

"I don't know how to thank you, Eddie, thank you for your trust in this story, thank you." Cameron sincerely called Edmundo to shake his hand, expressing his gratitude through strength, "I think it will eventually Will prove to you that you are right."

As soon as the words were finished, Cameron caught a glimpse of several marks gathered together in the open neckline of the other party. At the same time, there was light-colored hair in that piece. His good ability of associating and describing made his brain stop. for a while.

"Well, I have a small request, Eddie—don't get Leo too excited, we're going to have his kiss scene with Kate soon." Cameron said cryptically from a side angle, "I hope he can Keep the original status, otherwise the delay may be even longer."

Edmundo let go of his hand, then shrugged.

"I'll let him pay attention, but you have to know, he's still young, and young people don't know what it means to just let it go."

Cameron: ...

Speaking as if you were a few years older than Leo, Cameron showed a smirk, and then stopped talking about it, just as Edmundo wanted to do the same.

"I have a little suggestion for you, Jim." Edmondo patted a cabin model and then turned around and said, "The contract you signed with Fox should be an out-of-payment contract, right? If you really believe that this movie won't If it fails, then you should re-sign the box office contract with Fox, and then use this to exchange yourself for more chips."

Cameron frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Edmondo meant.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just offering a suggestion, I don't mean to cheat you, you know, we just have a cooperative relationship with Fox, and we're not responsible for your salary." Edmond Dohong smiled slightly, "But ——I have a hunch that this film will become a box office dark horse at the end of the century and break the previous world record."

Cameron believes that his film will not be bad, but he has never thought about the "box office dark horse" and "breaking the world record".

"Go back and think about it, I really won't lie to you." Edmondo shrugged and continued to the next topic, which is his main purpose today, "When do you plan to set up a special effects production company, I see Those staff members are basically veterans who have followed you since the beginning of "Terminator", and you should give them a stable job."

In the digital field, Cameron will establish a special effects production company in the future. It is one of the top special effects production teams in Hollywood along with George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic and Peter Jackson's Weta Studios.

With their Edmondo sci-fi movies, he could barely meet the requirements in the late 90s. He really didn't want to wait any longer. If he wanted to bring the story class to the big screen when the technology matured, he had to wait at least Only last 10 years.

"Company? It's amazing. How do you know that I've been thinking about starting a special effects company recently." Hearing the frowning of Cameron's frown in this familiar field, he followed up with Edmundo and said excitedly, " The technology of this era is really too backward, if the special effects technology can be further developed, I think movies will no longer be restricted, what a wonderful sight it will be!"

"It seems that we have reached an agreement again, Jim. What a good idea, I will pay, you will find someone, and then when we need to make special effects next time—boom!" Edmondo extended his hand to Cameron, " May we all have a bright future."

……

At the same time, Leonardo and Kate are drinking and relaxing in the crew's restaurant, chatting about gifts by the way, after all, Leonardo has been running around for a few days for this special gift, and only sleeps 2 or 3 times a day Hour.

"I can only tell you that Edmundo likes it very much." The blond actor said proudly, "Not only did he help me put it on when I was making it, but he also tried it on himself next time, God , I have never seen a hotter scene."

Kate rolled her eyes at him.

"Comeon Leo, I didn't come to you to hear how much Edmundo likes your mask (Leonardo: That's not a simple mask! It's a mouth|mask!), I want to know Edmundo What is Mundo going to give you?"

Leonardo's pride froze at the corner of his mouth.

He forgot all about it.

Kate blinked her eyes and immediately sensed something was wrong, but just as she was about to open her mouth to laugh at the other party, a white figure approached quietly opposite her.

"Didn't he bring you a gift?" The red-haired girl cleared her throat and asked pretending to be nonchalant, "Did he play tricks on you?"

"Hey!" Leonardo issued a warning tone, "How could he forget my gift, he said he would—"

[It seems that someone is in a hurry, don't worry, I brought your gift, but it is not the same type as the one you gave me. 】

"Oh! You're back!" Leonardo turned around happily, but he saw a document before seeing Edmundo, he looked at the cover and then at Edmundo who handed it over , asked: "What is this?"

"Script." The white-haired director replied succinctly, "I wrote you a script that not only meets your pursuit of marginal characters but also meets commercial needs, and do you know what is the most beautiful thing?"

Leonardo felt as if a huge meteorite-like rose fell from the sky and hit him on the head, making him dizzy.

Edmondo wrote him a script?

for him? !

"Are you serious?" Leonardo looked up in a daze, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, "You really wrote a script just for me?"

"Yes." Not entirely, this script was not written for anyone, but it was more suitable for you, so it was just given to you as a 21-year-old gift. Edmondo answered the second half of the sentence in his heart, "Okay, you haven't read it yet. Guess what's the most wonderful thing."

At this moment, Leonardo was already surrounded by joy, and he would mechanically answer whoever said anything.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Yes—this film is almost your one-man show. You are the only protagonist, and your partner is a screen floating in the air. It will be added during post-production and dubbing." Edmondo smiled and patted Lai. Leonardo's shoulder, "That's a story about a low-level person who accidentally entered a survival detective game and found the truth all the way to kill God. I asked your agent, your schedule is free at the end of 97, so congratulations, you are me The only protagonist."

The amount of information received in his head was too large, and Leonardo didn't know what to say for a while. He took the script, opened it with trembling hands, and read it quickly.

About 5 minutes later, he looked up, eyes full of shock.

"I like this story, it's great, but I have a problem, the protagonist's partner, that is, the artificial intelligence called the system, needs actors to voice it, isn't that right." Leonardo hesitated asked.

"Hmm, that's right."

"Then—" He licked his dry lips, "I assume you can be my partner, the one who will voice the system."

Edmondo paused.

This was a new idea, a possibility he had never thought of.

He looked at Leonardo.

"Why not."
