[US Entertainment] Actor

After rejecting the invitation of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", Ebert was completely free. At least for a long period of time, he didn't need to stay in the crew every day from morning to night. On the contrary, his life became very regular, running , fitness, watching movies, sleeping, Leonardo always laughed at him for having lived a retired life ahead of schedule.

Of course, although Leonardo has always sneered at Ebert's lifestyle, but after being with Ebert, his lifestyle has a tendency to transition to aging, not only staying away from alcohol and parties, but also working and resting. become very regular.

But men's entertainment life will never be as rich as women's. They can't go shopping after get off work and wait for a long-awaited TV series to start at night. As actors, they can't even eat and drink like ordinary men. As boring as a blank sheet of paper.

It's no wonder that actors after becoming famous always like to have fun on various occasions, which is completely the result of being bored for too long.

Although Warner Bros. intends to make a sequel to "Batman", director Christopher Nolan has been planning and perfecting his new work "Fatal Magic" during this time. Nolan was able to free up his hands to prepare the second part of the series until The Magic was officially released.

Leonardo was slightly busier than Ebert. After a few months of rest after filming "The Departed", he flew to South Africa to shoot the new work "Blood Diamond", which was directed by Edward Zwick and Jennifer Connery and Leonardo starred in the bloody story of diamond production and trading.

This is Leonardo's fourth film dedicated to the Olympics.Edward Zwick has directed such masterpieces as "Shakespeare in Love" and "The Burning Years". He is a director who knows how to balance art and business. In addition, the theme of "Blood Diamond" not only reflects the brilliance of diamonds The bloody comparison with the transaction process can further explore issues of human nature, morality and interests that are of concern to people, and thus attract the attention of the Oscar judges.

Leonardo left Los Angeles shortly after Ebert attended the Golden Globe Awards. The "Blood Diamond" crew's confirmed entry time is February 2, just one day after Oscar announced this year's nomination list.

As expected, Ebert was not shortlisted for this year's Best Actor Oscar.At the awards ceremony in March, Philip Seymour Hoffman won the best actor trophy for his outstanding performance in the movie "Capote". , and most of the actors are supporting roles, this best actor trophy will undoubtedly bring a lot of help to his career.

Competing with Philip Seymour Hoffman are Heath Ledger, Joaquin Phoenix and others. When it comes to the starlight of the actor department and the popularity of the nominees, this Oscar is completely incomparable with the previous ones , but the last five are indeed actors with outstanding acting skills, and they deserve to be able to defeat many big stars to enter the final stage.

But it is a pity that in the world of Ebert's previous life, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heath Ledger have long passed away. Even though they had powerful acting talents, the audience did not see them again. Lucky for them to perform.

The winner of the actress is Reese Witherspoon, who has always played the role of sweet sister. This actress who became famous in "Legal Blonde" and successfully ranked among the first-line actresses has been favored by the Golden Globe Awards before. This time at the Oscars She defeated Judi Dench, Felicity Hoffman and many other strong opponents to win the trophy, which is well deserved.

In any case, this year's Oscars have nothing to do with Ebert.

The Oscar Organizing Committee had invited Ebert to serve as the award presenter, but due to poor time coordination, Ebert's trip to the Oscars was ultimately unsuccessful.

The manager doesn't care about this: "The Oscars ceremony is not very attractive to you now. If being an award presenter can let the judges give you more points when you are shortlisted next time, then I will raise my hands." Agreed."

Ebert stuffed snacks into his mouth: "Indeed, it's a pity that the judges won't have such a generous day."

"Poor Ebert, it really hurts to see you wear away for an Oscar." Lynn held his chest, his face full of unbearable expression, but watched Ebert stuff his mouth again and again. The action of potato chips, the manager's sympathy instantly turned into anger, "Even if you haven't worked recently, you can't destroy yourself like this!"

After snatching Ebert's half-eaten bag of potato chips, the manager complained: "Oh! Ebert, I won't allow you to buy these high-calorie foods anymore. I'll call him when Mark is there. , in short, I want to block you from any source of food that makes you fat, you are a star, your face is worth more than anything else, while you are still young, before you have middle-aged man syndrome and baldness , Without impotence and premature ejaculation, without face wrinkle and forehead wrinkles, dozens of mosquitoes can be squeezed to death, please cherish your precious face and don't destroy it. Fat is equal to death, understand?"

Ebert: "..."

After a while, Ebert raised his head and fixedly glanced at Mr. Manager: "Lynn, well, I guess... the problems you just mentioned have all happened to you? Impotence and premature ejaculation? The forehead lines can be clipped Dead mosquitoes..."

Ebert glanced recklessly at Lynn's lower body a few times, and concluded: "It's really pitiful, the bad problem of middle-aged men, alas. No matter what I will become in the future, at least I have been handsome, And you, never. The most frightening thing is that I saw the style of the suit on you at a glance. Even the largest size can’t hide your fat, tsk tsk tsk... It’s not so much that you’re worried about my figure, it’s better to say that because you ate up all my snacks, my figure is out of shape and I don’t have the willpower to lose weight. Poor Lynn, if you can't learn to control your figure, you're going to be a bad old man."

"Dear Ebert, there's no point in attacking someone personally." Lynn smiled and moved closer to Ebert, "It's been a long time since I've heard you say such sharp words, and it's really because of Leonardo's absence. A man who guards the empty boudoir alone~”

"At least I don't suffer from impotence and premature ejaculation."

The manager rolled his eyes towards the roof: "Okay, stop discussing impotence and premature ejaculation! I can't stand it. Don't you and Leonardo discuss these issues every day? It's hard to understand that you are young human aesthetics."

Of course, Mr. Agent did not come here this time to discuss the sexual life of young people and the physiological crisis of middle-aged people. As one of the most successful agents of Endeavor Elite Company, Lynn's life is only a little bit more leisurely than that of the President of the United States.

Of course, Ebert is still the only artist under him, but Ebert alone has created many achievements for Lynn that his agent could never achieve in his lifetime.

"Have you considered your next movie?" Mr. Agent threw a thick stack of scripts to Ebert, "I think these are all good, take your time and let me know if you like it."

Ebert took it over, glanced roughly, and shook his head: "It's not necessary, I don't think about taking on new movies for the time being, I have been busy enough in the past two years, and I might not be able to bear it if I make another one this year."

"I didn't force you." Lynn sat down and made a cup of tea and handed it to Ebert, "You are much more diligent than many big stars, but some guys are still not satisfied and think I should give you more work. You know? They think you are a fool to give up the third part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" because at least that movie will get you 1500 million in salary, and you are a supporting role, so you don't have to bear the box office pressure. If the movie is successful Instead, you can shine."

Ebert smiled: "This is the real reason why they can never sign big stars."

Short-sightedness, no matter what industry you are in, is the biggest obstacle to a person's career success.

"However, I think the quality of some scripts is really good. If you want to get one step closer to the award, you might as well give it a try."

"I will think about it."

During the period when Leonardo left Los Angeles, Ebert basically stayed at home to pick scripts.

Mr. Agent has indeed considered Ebert's needs. The quality of these scripts is indeed good, and the shooting time is very late. Basically, the filming started after July this year.

In addition, these scripts are mostly about the career choices of middle-class young people and the stories of adolescent confusion. action scenes.

But Ebert still decided to rest for a while and make a decision later.

Ebert's circle of friends has always been small, and Leonardo, one of the few close friends, has been successfully included and has become his boyfriend.Tobey Maguire proposed to his girlfriend in early April this year, and he will welcome his first child next year.

Leonardo resented this a lot.

Toby Maguire is his good friend since he was a child. Toby has a cute baby face, and he looks easy to bully at first glance. Even if there is a fight, Leonardo rushes forward to protect Toby.

But who knew that in the blink of an eye, that baby face who had been following behind him was going to get married, and even have a child?

For Leonardo, it was like a child who had been raised since he was a child suddenly abandoned his parents and ran into the arms of another woman—if Meyer was not a woman, Leonardo really felt that he would be like those who carried a long gun Like the father-in-law and adults in the family, they beat all the bastards who tried to abduct their daughter away.

Ebert then laughed at him and said: "You can definitely consider replacing Ben Stiller in "Meet Your Father-in-Law", so that you can better understand your own feelings."

"What's so good about playing the role of Ben Stiller? That idiot! At least I should also play the role of Robert De Niro." Sighing, Leonardo said sadly, "Unfortunately, I don't have one at all." My daughter asked me to show off my father-in-law's prestige."

"Don't worry, Leo dear, at least you still have Toby."
