239 Crisis

After two months, the controversial niche gay film "Brokeback Mountain" was completed in a low-key manner. οΈΎ|

After the filming, Theolod was more or less emotional, I don't know if it was for the tragic lover living in the homophobic era in the movie, or because he was also a homosexual, and he couldn't do the brave and frank pursuit of his own happiness like his Jack, more often than more like Ennis, not Jack.

This made Theorod admire Jack Tvester a little, and also admired Anne Pruw, who wrote such excellent works. Maybe he's just locking himself in a closet now, but in the future, maybe he'll be able to do what Jack did, no one knows.

When the final scene ended, listening to Ang Lee's "cut", Theorod found that Heath was also a little stunned. He seemed to be reminiscing about the bits and pieces of filming in the past two months, and then sighed, gave Theolod a hug, and said wistfully: "I will miss all the time I have acted with you, Theo, and I don't know when our cooperation will be next time." ”

"There will be a chance. Theolod patted him on the back, "The two of us still have a long acting career, and we will have the opportunity to work together in the future." And it's not a goodbye, man, we'll be together for at least half a year to promote Brokeback Mountain, and hopefully you won't get bored of looking at my face by then. ”

Theorod's joke made Heath smile, and then they thanked the crew who had been working together for two months, especially director Ang Lee, for his willingness to bring such an excellent work to the big screen.

"Let those people take a good look. Theorod said to Ang Lee, "You deserve all that applause and glory." ”

"I hope so, I think they'll like it. Ang Lee just smiled and replied modestly.

Theolod also seemed to have known that Ang Lee would answer like this, so he didn't say anything more, and turned around to greet Shams, who had specially flown over from the United States a day earlier because the crew was finished. He then spent another day in Canada resting on the same plane as Heath.

Theolod originally thought that the next six months would be the same as last year, while participating in the promotion of "Brokeback Mountain", while spending a leisurely vacation and relaxing until the awards season came. But not long after he returned home, his and Nattel's quiet and low-key life was disrupted - at that time, Natle's sister Corria had just returned from summer vacation at university, and he and Maggie and the Natle family were having a family party in the Beverly Hills villa, when two strong men in black suits suddenly rang the doorbell outside the villa.

Thinking it was a takeaway, Coria ran to open the door, followed by two dogs, but when she opened the monitoring screen, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Uh...... Brother, do you know these two?" she called out into the living room. Occasionally, she would see men in black uniforms who looked mysterious and uneasy to mess with come to find their "boss" Nattel, but she didn't know that they could still find Theorod's home, so she asked with some hesitation and uncertainty.

Natel frowned, he was trying a new console game and trying to get the interest of Theolod, who was swimming in the pool in the yard, but he was interrupted and had to put down the controller, and at the same time he was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that his people should know that it is taboo to go to Theorod's door to find him, and even if there is an emergency, they can only call.

He walked to the door and looked at the screen, his frown not relaxing in the slightest, but wrinkling more and more.

He not only knew the people who came, but also acquaintances.

"You go back first, watch the game for me, and don't let Chris Redfield get eaten by zombies. ”

Natel sent Coria away, then opened the door herself, and walked through the courtyard to the iron gate. Seeing this, Nati and Hittite also ran out with Nattel, staring at the outsider with fierce eyes. Natel looked at the two of them with his hands on his chest, and didn't seem to want to let the two in, and said in an unkind tone: "What are you doing here? Come to the wrong place, this is Theo's home!"

The bearded white man between the two said, "Yes, we know where this is, and you can tell from the paparazzi lurking around here." ”

"Hey, old man Nat, we're just here to talk to you, not to trouble you. If it weren't for the fact that we could only block you here, we wouldn't have bothered the big stars. The strong black man saw that his partner's tone was too bad, and he immediately took over the topic to appease him.

"Hell, don't call me 'Nat', that's not your name. Natel cursed, and his hostility also affected the two large dogs, especially these two, a Doberman and a German Shepherd, who were not easy to mess with, and they immediately bared their teeth and barked at the door, and waited for Natel to open the door and let them go out to bite.

Natel did open the door, but instead of ordering them to pounce, he warned them not to bite, much to the dogs' aggrieved feelings.

"Come in, don't be at the door, don't you think it's too much trouble for Theo?" Nattel also knew that these two people were too conspicuous standing in front of Theorod's house, and they must have contributed a lot of photos to the paparazzi, so he had to let the two in, but this front yard is not a place to stay for a long time, after all, it is an open-air environment, and the devil knows what those pervasive paparazzi will do.

"These two dogs look well-trained, they don't bite, do they?" said the burly white man, who walked in.

Natel laughed wickedly, "Who knows? You'd better not mess with them, you shouldn't be afraid?"

The white man was taunted, did not speak, but silently walked away from the fierce-looking Dubin, the black man wanted to touch the Hittites, but as soon as he raised his hand, the Hittites began to bare their teeth, and finally had to give up, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by another person's voiceβ€”

"Nat, are you here? Now that you are a guest, you should invite them to sit and talk in the study. "It was Theorod, who was in the backyard pool and probably heard the movement in the front yard, so he came over to take a look. He had just come ashore from the pool, his hair was still dripping, and he only tied a bath towel to cover his swimming trunks, revealing the tight curves of his body.

When the two dogs heard Theorod's voice, they immediately rushed over with their tongues out, and they still had the majestic and ferocious appearance just now.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's okay, they'll leave right away......" Natl still wanted to cover up, but Theolod had already seen through it.

"It's okay, Nat, let's go inside, I don't mind, speaking of which, I had a relationship with these two agents, and I was on the Oscar red carpet three years ago, so I can be considered friends. Theorod smiled, he had known the identity of the person who had come, he had an extraordinary memory and keen observation, and he could still remember the FBI bodyguard who followed Russell Crowe at the beginning.

In the end, Natel was only able to let two agents in, and Theolod used his work to help Natl free the others, and then followed them into the study. The two agents had only come to find Nattel, and it didn't seem like they were looking for trouble, they didn't want outsiders to hear about it, but Theorod insisted on staying.

"Gentlemen, this is my home anyway, and Nat is not just my employee, but my most important friend. Since you've all said that you came to him because of something else and not because he did something stupid, then I'm entitled to stay. Theolod, who had changed his clothes, smiled and gave each of them a cup of coffee, and then sat directly on the single sofa in the study, looking at them with his hands in a tower, and the master's style was fully revealed.

They looked at each other, then at Nattel, and found that the guy was smiling wildly, sitting on another single couch without saying a word, arrogantly cocking his legs, and shaking a little, directly indicating that he would not cooperate without Theorod.

They had to sigh and compromise.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Actually, we came this time to find Mr. Nattle Pope......" said the black man, and was interrupted by Natle.

"Cooperation, that's a nice thing to say, you FBIs just don't want to whisper to people like me, in fact, you're just here to ask me for help, who are you going to show this attitude of being on top?" Nattel scoffed.

His tone angered the white agent, so he also provoked in an unkind tone: "It's also good for you, boy, don't forget that you also cooperated with us in exchange for a reduced sentence before, I just don't know what your current employer and good friend will have opinions and thoughts about a traitor like you, shouldn't the big star not know yet?"

"What the you-" Theorod is Nattel's forbidden area and can't be touched, at this moment, seeing that this guy actually dared to shake out those dirty past things in front of Theorod, Natel was immediately angry, he was about to stand up, but was pressed in place by Theorod.

"I know everything about him, and I choose to trust him. However, gentlemen, I do have an opinion, and some thought, that if you really intend to 'cooperate' with him, I am afraid that this method will not work. Theorod said slowly, as if the provocations of the two agents were merely a child's farce in his eyes, and he dismissed them with disdain.

"Nicely said, do you even know that his casino is involved in money laundering?" the white agent sneered.

Theorod was silent, and Natl calmed down.

"That's what we're here for. The black agent quickly picked up, "We know this has nothing to do with you, but it happened in your casino, Nattell, and it will have a bad effect anyway." For your own sake, and even more so for your friend Theorod, you'd better do us a favor......"

In fact, when he first learned about it from the FBI, Nattle didn't believe it, because he had never heard about money laundering from his own men. However, when he sent off the two agents and began to investigate secretly, he found out that this was indeed the case, and that there was a traitor in his casino.

Money laundering through casinos is the easiest, and Nattle certainly knows exactly how to do it. Just swap that dirty money for chips at the casino, pretend to lose 10%-30% on purpose, and then you can stop and change the rest of the chips for cash. In this way, the dirty money in hand can naturally become clean money in this exchange, and sometimes as long as you collude with the people in the casino, you may be able to lose less and successfully launder the money.

The scum took advantage of this, secretly bribing the manager of the casino while he was busy with Theorod's work, and would launder money every time when the manager was on shift.

After Nattell's return, he had not been involved in the lucrative business of money laundering for a long time, and strictly demanded that his subordinates must not launder money in casinos, but he did not expect this to go wrong. It wasn't so much that the FBI was looking for his help, but rather that they gave him a chance to clean up internally, because they could have shut down his casino without even saying hello.

It's just that the news that the two FBIs found him at the beginning was still leaked by the paparazzi, although they don't know why the FBI found Theolod's assistant and friend, but this does not prevent them from hyping up the news with the greatest malice. As she watched the scandal go haywire, Nattle began to think about what the white agent had said to him when the FBI left that day.

So he went to Theorod.

"Fire me. "Break it off with me, it has nothing to do with you, and you can pretend that you have just learned that you have kicked me away in anger, and then they will not suspect you, and your reputation will not be harmed in any way." ”

Theolod shook his head firmly and smiled: "Impossible, Nat, our relationship has long been blurred. What are the difficulties, I will face them with you. ”

Natel opened his mouth, unable to say anything, and finally he could only hug Theolod tightly and sigh: "You idiot, you are a big star...... Forget it, I know I can't convince you, so don't worry, I'll take care of everything. 166 Reading Network
