[US Entertainment] Actor

Within a few hours before falling asleep, Leonardo finally did not make any weird requests to Ebert, and Ebert was able to watch a complete episode of the program smoothly.

However, maybe it was because the water intake just now was a little too much, Leonardo still ran to the bathroom a few times halfway, and he was still swearing at the position of Princess Ebert's hug at the beginning, but he gave up after too many times Struggling, although Ebert can always see the expression of death on his face.

"How is the matter with Michael Eisner going?" Kaka bit the fruit that Ebert peeled for him, Leonardo said, "He has been used to the taste of monopolizing power at Disney over the years, He's in control of everything about Disney, and now he's being sued by a bunch of things he doesn't care about at all, so it's no wonder he's going crazy."

"Right is a man's aphrodisiac. If you lose your rights, it's hard to imagine what a person will be like." Ebert shrugged and threw a piece of fruit into his mouth, "In short, I'll let Lynn handle this matter Now, no one is wasting time running to Johannesburg to ask my opinion on the matter, I just hide here to relax."

Leonardo looked at him with some disgust: "So when you came to see me, there is also a factor of avoiding the media?"

Ebert took the fruit core he had eaten and threw it into the trash can: "Do you think you will be more important than Michael Eisner?"

"Cut~" Leonardo gave him a blank look, his head got under the quilt, and then got out after a while, back and forth several times, and finally resigned to his fate: "Ebert, I can't sleep."

In fact, Ebert couldn't sleep a little bit.He slept for a long time during the day, and his spirit was completely relaxed after learning that Leonardo was fine. Now he is only physically tired, but his spirit is very good.

The two simply chatted.The night in Johannesburg is very dark, especially since the hospital is built in a relatively quiet place, and there is no scene where the windows are opened and the lights are flickering.

In the silent night, even breathing became extremely clear.

Ebert's fingers lightly groped on the bedsheets, and slowly turned to the right, and then to the right, until he touched a cloud of air, but he refused to give up, moving his fingers slowly, and finally touched a pair of knuckle fingers .

Leonardo really lost a lot of weight.

In fact, laughing at Leonardo for being fat is just a small interest in Ebert's treatment of Leonardo. Since he succeeded in losing weight, his weight has remained relatively stable. Even if he is fat, his face and stomach are only slightly rounded Just a little, put on a slender shirt and jeans to go out on the street, Leonardo is still the male god in the hearts of countless girls and housewives.

Before filming "Blood Diamond", Leonardo had undergone strict systematic training. The filming process itself was relatively hard, and his weight gradually dropped.

Ebert now hopes that Leonardo can grow a little bit of flesh. Being ill is a particularly exhausting thing. If he does not take this opportunity to grow some flesh, his weight may drop to an unacceptable level for Ebert. degree.

Thinking about it made him feel a little distressed.

No wonder there are so many actors who love and hate Oscars. They spent their entire lives fighting for this trophy, but missed it again and again. In the process, they experienced injuries, scolding, doubts, and finally Can only get countless sympathetic eyes.

There is no doubt that Leonardo is walking on such a road.

Maybe it was because Ebert was silent for too long, or maybe the sigh hidden deep in his nasal cavity was caught by Leonardo, he was moved by the fingers held by Ebert, and the low voice was constantly There was a sound in the large space: "Ebert, are you worried?"

Ebert responded: "No."

"You are obviously worried." Leonardo snorted softly, "If you hadn't seen me this morning, you would have cried aloud. Your eyes are so red, your face is so haggard... In fact, I don't know anything. No, as you said, we are all actors, if one day you are injured because of filming, I will be very sad, but I will respect your efforts."

"Actually, it's not all about the Oscars..." Leonardo continued, "Maybe compared to other people, my desire for Oscars is indeed a little bit stronger, but I am not as anxious as outsiders imagine. I am only 31 years old, I already have the highest salary and stand at the pinnacle of this industry. If I am not satisfied with what I have and toss myself for a trophy that I don’t know where it is, I’m afraid those who are still fighting for their careers It will only make you feel more hopeless.”

"So you don't have to worry, I'm fine. "Blood Diamond" is a good movie, Edward Zwick is a good director, as a professional actor, I should try my best to play my role well, at least I get With the highest salary of the entire crew, I should also be responsible for the movies I make, and when the audience walks into the cinema, they will not scold Leonardo for acting in a shitty movie with such a high salary."

"Well." Ebert responded to him in a low voice, "I'm just thinking, as actors, what should we really pursue, and I won't give up the high salary I have now, because I want to make my performance look meaningful." value, but I also don't want to make a movie purely for the high income, so what's the use?"

"So we should make a movie for our own ideals." Leonardo looked up at the roof without a ray of light, "When I decided to become an actor, I just thought it was interesting to make a movie, and I didn't think about it. How successful I have to be to be famous. But now that I have indeed succeeded, I have more ideas, whether I can get an Oscar or not, whether people call me Oscar winner Leonardo or Golden Globe Actor Leonardo, I must make at least one movie that people can remember."

Ebert pinched his fingertips lightly.He thought of his past life.

In fact, he has always loved the profession of an actor. Watching himself on the screen continue to play the lives of others, even if the real life is boring, he will find it very interesting.He no longer remembers how he got into the industry of an actor, but when he was a child, all the jobs in his family were related to movies. It can be said that he grew up in a studio and in the bizarre movie world.

It's just that after becoming an actor, his thinking is actually similar to Leonardo's.

He wants to become a great actor, not only for fame and fortune, but also for his own ideals.

Ebert was thinking deeply, but Leonardo suddenly said: "Actually, I think we can be together because we have similar ideas. I will be very jealous seeing you get nominated one by one, but They also motivate me to try to get nominated, because I want to try to follow in your footsteps."

Ebert evoked a bright smile: "Don't chase, I will wait for you."

"That's not okay." Leonardo rolled his eyes silently, "Ebert, don't you think you are a little too arrogant? Will I always follow behind you, maybe you will look at me in the future Getting nominations and crying out in jealousy."

"Yes, yes, I also hope that there will be such a day, provided that you hurry up and get better."

"My body has always been in good shape."

"But this time you're still hurt."

"This is the last time I tell you, don't worry too much about me." Leonardo sighed, "The only thing I feel a little uncomfortable now is that I have to lie on the bed and can't move. The human body is too fragile, although I should be very It will recover soon, but I think I should also think about the future. After "Blood Diamond" is finished, I can go to shoot some relatively relaxed scenes, or simply take a long vacation for myself, just like you."

Ebert sighed silently. He didn't believe a word Leonardo said, because he not only filmed "Django Unchained" in the future, but also "The Revenant".

Time passed slowly without knowing it, and the two of them gradually became sleepy. After saying good night to each other, the sound of Leonardo's shallow breathing gradually sounded in the room. Ebert closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly with the sound of breathing. caught.

After spending some time in South Africa, Leonardo was finally able to get out of bed and move around.At this time, the agent who was far away in Los Angeles was unwilling to let Ebert go. He made one call after another, and there was a tendency that he would come to South Africa to chase him if Ebert didn't come back.

Some time ago, the chatter with Michael Eisner finally subsided when Disney’s prosecution case entered a critical stage, and with the disappearance of Ebert from Los Angeles, the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" also entered a critical stage, although there are still some The reporter pestered Lynn to find out what Ebert said from his mouth, but the turmoil did not have much impact in the end.

As for why Mr. Manager pestered Ebert to let him come back, it was naturally also for the promotional work of the second part of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Knowing that Ebert was with Leonardo, the agent thought he was tolerant and specially reserved 5 days for Ebert.

"Even a sticky couple will get bored after staying for a long time, Ebert, thank me for my kindness!"

"I thought you were still angry that I interrupted your night life that day." Ebert chuckled, "Dear Mr. Lynn Hawke, you seem to be much stronger than I imagined, such as impotence and premature ejaculation. The problem doesn't seem to be befalling you yet."

"No, no, that's not the point. The point is that as long as some people return to Los Angeles, I can at least have hundreds of thousands of dollars in my pocket. Ebert, you promised, don't go back on it, the airline's endorsement. "

"What if I refuse?"

"Then I can only ask Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio to get back the fee. After all, you are now a Hollywood star with an annual income of tens of millions. If you stay in South Africa for an extra day, you may be in vain. Lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, time equals money."

"Tell him, I can fully pay the fee." Leonardo held the newspaper in his hand, but kept his ears upright to eavesdrop on the conversation between Ebert and Lynn. There is no difference between ten thousand dollars and the waste paper on the ground.

"Oh God! I'm really not kidding! Dear Ebert, Dear Ebert, please give your agent a little grace for the sake of being an old man! Shit God , Your skin has become thicker and thicker since you were with Leonardo, don’t worry, I’ve already bought a ticket to Johannesburg, even if I tie you up, I’ll tie you back.”

"Anyone who has trouble with my money is my life and death enemy, do you understand, Mr. Albert Dawson?"

After hanging up the phone, Ebert shrugged, "He seems really angry."

Leonardo closed the newspaper: "So you should go back! I will join the crew after a while. I have already finished shooting most of the content before, and I don't have many scenes in the future. Even if there is a dangerous move, Edward I also plan to use a double to complete it. Don’t worry about me, just call me if you need anything.”

Ebert pinched his thinned cheeks: "Didn't you hear Lynn say just now, he gave me five days of grace, during these five days, you can still enslave me as much as you want, let me do Everything you ask for."

Leonardo raised his eyebrows: "Are you teasing me? But this sounds really interesting, why don't you call me master, my little slave?"

"I promise, I will dig out the messy novels in your house and burn them on fire." Ebert gradually moved closer to Leonardo, wrapping his arms around his shoulders, "But you reminded me, One day we can really try bundled play, after all, I have been holding back all this time, and when you recover from your injury, I will definitely make it impossible for you to get out of bed."

Leonardo shrank his shoulders, with a helpless expression on his face.He admitted that during this period of time he did go too far. When Ebert couldn't act recklessly with him, he willfully teased Ebert. When Ebert really got angry, he couldn't touch him at all because of his injury. he.

Ebert's face was blue a few days ago, and it has only softened a little today.

But Leonardo also knew that Ebert always kept his word. He stuck out his tongue and showed an innocent expression, but secretly reminded himself to be a little more honest in the next few days, so as not to encounter Ebert as soon as he returned to Los Angeles. Stormy revenge.

After staying in Johannesburg for five full days, Ebert boarded the plane to Los Angeles under repeated reminders from his agent.

At that time, Leonardo was standing at the door in a hospital gown that was not bright in color and was watching him. After this period of cultivation, he was able to do some simple movements, and his complexion was much better than a few days ago.

His appearance reminded Ebert of himself when he first came to South Africa, standing motionless at the door, just staring at Leonardo blankly.

Just like Leonardo was looking at him quietly at this moment, his body was slightly bent, but Ebert could read the deep concern and reluctance in his eyes.

Ebert raised his hand at him, and left in a chic posture.

Leonardo bit his lip and turned around slowly.

It was a little dark when we arrived in Los Angeles. Lynn snatched the right to pick up Ebert from Bruce. Ebert didn't know it beforehand. Not long after he got off the plane, he saw the manager smiling like a chrysanthemum. old face.

Ebert quietly rolled his eyes, and now his good mood is gone.
