[US Entertainment] Actor

"Maybe we can try to complement each other." Ebert put his chin on Leonardo's shoulder and said softly, "What I'm not good at happens to be what you are good at."

Leonardo let out a soft snort: "Really? But everyone thinks that you will win the Oscar before me. There are too few things you are not good at, and they are all small shortcomings, but there are too many things I am not good at , and fatal."

"Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, I just hope you can relax a little bit. Oscar is indeed very precious, but the premise of getting it is that you can cherish yourself." Ebert gently stroked his body. "There is no difference in the way of performance, as long as you think it is right and you think it suits you, you can use it."

"It's really..." Leonardo covered the mocking smile in his eyes, "But those so-called professionals will only criticize me for my acting skills, saying that I use too much force, and that the character I play looks like a bird. The lion trying to break free, nothing changes, nothing new, whether I'm playing Howard Hughes or Amsterdam Velen, in their view, I'm always playing Leonardo DiCaprio."

"There is no actor who has never suffered performance criticism." Ebert said, "Tom Hanks has been scolded for being obsessed with those roles with a sense of justice, unwilling to make more new attempts, as long as they want to Scold you, they will find any excuse."

"Well, Ebert, your tone is like a teacher who is teaching in class, and I am listening to your students attentively." Leonardo put his hands on his shoulders, "It's a pity that we didn't attend Go to college."

"It's not something to regret." Ebert smiled. "I love acting. If the things taught me in college are not as much as the things I have been exposed to in one crew after another, then college will be useless." Significant, because acting is a more practical profession, at least the judges will not consider the academic qualifications of actors when awarding awards."

There are many actors in Hollywood who graduated from prestigious schools. Excellent academic qualifications can really add luster to their resumes. For example, Natalie Portman, when a young intellectual role is needed in a movie, she is often the first consideration. For example, Reese Witherspoon, despite dropping out of Stanford, despite her main genre of comedy, audiences have always regarded her as a wise and lively woman.

In fact, these two academic acting skills are also outstanding, and they are both typical representatives who won the Oscar queen title at a young age.

When he first came to this era, Ebert also considered the issue of improving his academic qualifications. After all, in his previous life, although he was studying at the Academy of Performing Arts, his cultural courses were not bad. Unlike the real Albert Dawson, his age He became a member of the singing group at a young age, but as his work became more and more busy, this matter was left behind by him.

Just for the profession of actor, experience is indeed the best teacher.

In his previous life, Ebert did meet some actors who left school early to devote themselves to acting. Their performances did not have any problems. Even because they were not from a professional background, they did not have the craftsmanship that is difficult for a professional-trained actor to get rid of. Instead, they were very agile and free .

In this life, Ebert has accumulated experience in the academy in his previous life, and loves to study some acting books on a daily basis. Even if he goes to the academy for further studies, it will not help his acting experience in any way.

After persuading Leonardo a little bit, the guy finally felt better.After Ebert told him not to be tired, he went back to the room and lay down on the bed to think about life.

In 2016, he remembered, this was the year Leonardo won the Oscar winner in his previous life. Now it is 2005, and there are still 11 years left.

As an actor, Leonardo does not participate in many films, on average one film a year, but whether it is "The Departed" which is currently being filmed and many subsequent films with Martin Scorsese, or In the movies with Ridley Scott, Sam Mendes, and Clint Eastwood, Leonardo's goal has never changed, and that is Oscar.

Especially in the years when he was getting closer to the Oscars, his history of acting in films was almost a history of his blood and tears fighting for the Oscars. He collected four or five Oscars for the best director before he exchanged for his own. Best actor trophy.

Ebert understands Leonardo's feelings very well, not only because he is Leonardo's lover, but also because he himself has the same desire.

Turning over with his pillow in his arms, Ebert was rarely full of energy. He knew that if he persisted, Leonardo would definitely win his own trophy, but 11 years was too long after all, and he couldn't bear to look at him. Day after day, Ao watched his hopes fail, and Ebert still wanted to help him.

But just as the two of them chatted just now, Ebert and Leonardo's acting methods have no similarities at all. Ebert is better at handling subtle emotions, while Leonardo is good at using explosive emotional catharsis To express the mood of the characters, and the way of acting is not something that can be changed at will. Leonardo has been an actor for more than ten years, and his way of acting has been fixed. If it is really that easy to change, Leonardo Duo has already cooperated with Tom Hanks and Daniel Day Lewis, and none of their superb acting skills can change Leonardo, and Ebert doesn't think he has the strength.

"Ah." Sighing, Ebert kicked the quilt that was limp around his feet, tossed and thought about it all night, but he still couldn't think of anything.

The next morning, Ebert, who went out with two huge dark circles under his eyes, was naturally surrounded by the whole crew of "The Departed". He walked over the curious crowd helplessly, full of questions about "what did you do last night?" fear of such questions.

After finally sitting down and taking a breath, Ebert saw Leonardo leisurely holding a glass of water beside him. He asked a little angrily, "How did you sleep last night?"

Leonardo loosened his shoulders: "It couldn't be better! How about you, you are listless and decadent, did you do something bad? Did you secretly—hmm?"

Seeing Leonardo winking, Ebert simply smashed the script on his head: "Guess?"

"Dear Ebert, although you are still young, if you don't restrain your desires in time, it will hurt you!"

"Dear Leo, please rest assured that your worries are completely unnecessary." Ebert paused and gritted his teeth.

In recent scenes, Colin played by Ebert and Billy played by Leonardo finally have an intersection.

First of all, it was still a rivalry scene between Ebert and Jack Nicholson. Castro was found to be an FBI informant. Colin worried that his undercover identity would be discovered, so he killed Castro first. Stroh, and take credit for it.

At this time, Billy and Colin officially met.

Billy is an undercover agent, and so is Colin, but Billy is defenseless against him at this time. He told Colin his ID, but Colin deleted the file without realizing it.At the same time, Billy finally found the note contacting Castro on Colin's desk, and he knew Colin's undercover identity.

Both Ebert and Leonardo were dressed in casual clothes with jeans, and the filming of this scene started casually.

"Guys, it's your first rivalry, come on!" Martin Scorsese stood in the distance, smiling and clenched his fists at his actors.

Ebert stretched out his hand and shook Leonardo's hand in mid-air: "In the next scene, I ask Leo to be merciful."

Leonardo clenched his fists: "That's not okay. I was beaten by others throughout the movie. I finally got a chance to beat someone up. I will cherish it. But you don't have to worry about it, Ebert. I will show mercy to you."

"Thank you?" Ebert shrugged and snorted lightly.

"you are welcome."

"Okay, stop joking, start shooting now!" Martin Scorsese gave an order, and all the actors were in place immediately.

Ebert walked up to the roof step by step according to the requirements of the script. He just opened the door when he was frightened by Leonardo's roar. In the next second, a gun was on top of his head.

Compared with the well-dressed, motivated and hard-working image in the police station, Colin at this time has a wretched appearance-he is a villain, and he only cares about his own status and power, so he doesn't care about taking care of Whether his own Frank Castro died, he was also able to delete Billy's information without hesitation.

In the earliest acts of the play, the character of Colin is doomed at an early age.

He is a born scumbag.

Although Billy was born in a family full of criminals, he always has justice in his heart. As for Colin, as an undercover agent, he unscrupulously revealed the secrets of the police. Has his identity been revealed? On the one hand, he enjoys the benefits brought to him by criminals, but on the other hand, he is obsessed with the above-board identity of the police.

He did not hesitate to kill more people, first Castro, then Billy, and then his colleagues.

"Put the gun down! I'm here to..."

Ebert raised his hand, letting Leonardo urge him forward.

"I can give you money."

"What did you say?"

"I can give you money... ah!"

With a bang, Billy's fist slammed into Colin's face.

Billy clasped Colin's hands and threatened to arrest him.

At this time, Colin was not panicked.

He saw that Billy was a policeman with a bottom line. The reason he threatened Colin with a gun was because he wanted to restore his status as a policeman. He didn't have the guts to shoot himself.

Thinking of this, there was a smile on the corner of Ebert's mouth in front of the camera, and he looked behind him with a relaxed tone: "Listen, Billy, only one of us will be a policeman."

And between a person with a conscience and justice in his heart and a person without a conscience who only has desires in his heart, the one with a conscience is often the loser because he has a bottom line in his heart.

With his back to Leonardo, he couldn't see Ebert's expression clearly, but the other actors and crew members present could see it clearly.Ebert's expression was very calm and relaxed, and there was sarcasm in his eyes, and more of a penetrating coolness: "No one knows your identity, I am a Massachusetts State Police Officer, what the fuck are you, I deleted all your files."

"You deleted all my files?"

A big smile broke out on Ebert's face. There was blood on his nose and bruises on his face, which made his expression look extraordinarily hideous. He looked at Leonardo as if he was looking at an inanimate creature. He is a dead thing, but his smug expression and arrogant movements are real, and his tone is extremely slow, like a lover whispering in his ear: "Go on, kill the police, and see what happens to you ?”

His unhurriedness is in sharp contrast to the violent and angry Billy on the opposite side, but it is this contrast that, in the eyes of others, Colin's shrewdness and insidiousness are undoubtedly revealed.

He's trying to drive Billy crazy in his own way, and the scary thing is, he's almost there.

"Scary, Ebert seems to be creating a terrifying atmosphere." Mark Wahlberg squeezed his chin, feeling lingering fear.

During the several months of filming, Colin's scenes were always smooth and there were no scenes of intense conflict, but now it seems that Ebert is worthy of being a two-time Oscar nominee for best actor. As long as he wants, he can Take control of everything.
