[US Entertainment] Actor

"You must have learned logic from the greatest philosopher in the world." Staring at Leonardo for a while, Ebert slowly looked away until Leonardo was taken aback by him.

"But you have to admit the correctness of what I said." Leonardo flipped his bangs in front of his forehead and said with a chuckle, "But handsome guys rely on their faces for food. Once they appear on the big screen, the judges Subconsciously, people think they are unreliable, so naturally they will be less favored."

"This can be completely explained by the theory of marketing." Ebert gently fiddled with the loose hair on Leonardo's forehead. "Unfortunately, besides the will of the market, the most important thing is the taste of the judges."

Although this awards season is considered to be the closest Ebert has come to the Oscars, compared with competitors such as Forest Whitaker and Peter O'Toole, it is still very difficult for him to get his hands on the final award.

He has already won the Golden Globe Award. The most important and even the only goal for him in the entire awards season is the shining statuette. If ten Golden Globe winners can exchange for one statuette, then Those Hollywood actors who have regretted the Oscar for life will definitely climb out of the grave without hesitation and tremblingly ask for exchange.

The great thing about Oscar is that the result is unknowable.

A certain actor may be very powerful, but his opponent is also not an unknown person, and it is very likely that the final award will fall on anyone.

Just like this year, Forest Whitaker swept the major award ceremonies and became the favorite to win the award season, but his competitors, whether they are relatively young Ebert, Ryan Goss Neither Lin nor Leonardo is an ordinary person.Ryan Gosling is the same age as Ebert, and his birthday is a little younger than Ebert, but this year he won a lot of praise for his outstanding performance in "Half Nelson", and he is also known as the best actor in Hollywood in the 80s representative of the acting school.

Hollywood is a competitive place, no matter who it is.

In the past few years, Ebert was the only actor in the actor department. At that time, the competition was more fierce in the actress department. Natalie Portman was in the first-line position among the actresses in the 80s, but gradually, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightley and others have gradually emerged, and Natalie has launched a fierce competition at the box office and awards, and now it is the turn of the actor department.

First, Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger played well in "Brokeback Mountain", and then Ryan Gosling, who gained wide popularity with "The Notebook" and "Half Nelson". The achievements in performance and acting make people ignore his age, but the continuous development of the younger generation also makes him inexplicably feel a sense of crisis.

After all, Hollywood is not a place that speaks only by age.

Just like a few years later, Natalie Portman, the first post-80s Oscar actress, has not yet won the trophy. Jennifer Lawrence, the first post-90s actress, has completely overshadowed her achievements. And achieved all-round transcendence in career and nomination.

In addition to Ryan Gosling, this year's veteran Peter O'Toole is also very popular in the awards season.This old man who was born in Ireland is 74 years old this year. He is one of the oldest filmmakers who are still filming. In Ebert's previous life, the old man starred in "The Last Emperor" is the one he is most familiar with. He is also one of the few Hollywood actors who have cooperated with Chinese filmmakers several times.

Of course, in the history of Hollywood, Peter O'Toole is also a legacy that has been mentioned several times.

Since the 60s, Peter O'Toole has been nominated for Oscars seven times but has returned empty-handed. He is also the actor who has received the most nominations for a leading actor in the history of Oscars but only received regrets. A Lifetime Achievement Award was specially reissued to him, but for an actor whose career is acting, the so-called Lifetime Achievement Award has never been what he expected.

This year's "Lost Love" is Peter O'Toole's 8th nomination for Oscar winner - his regret is also regarded by Leonardo as one of the important reasons for Oscar's hostility. Peter O'Toole was really young when he was young. He is very handsome, even though he is old now, but he can vaguely see the shadow of his youth from his face.In addition to Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, who was nominated 7 times but returned empty-handed, is also an out-and-out handsome guy. The relationship with Elizabeth Taylor is enough to make him a movie golden age One of the most watched actors.

But among the actors who have won countless awards in the history of Oscars, Tom Hanks can only be said to be simple and honest, Jack Nicholson's appearance is definitely not related to handsomeness, and Robert De Niro is slightly stronger, but in terms of In terms of appearance, their faces are absolutely incomparable to their awards.

In fact, the existence of these actors is also an important reason why Ebert thinks the Oscars are very interesting. Since he fought for the Oscars, many of his competitors are actor winners, or actors who have been nominated for actor winners several times, who can compete with these people. Ebert is an affirmation in itself.

This is also the reason why many people are stubbornly chasing Oscars.After all, I have worked so hard to defeat so many powerful characters. To some extent, I am stronger than those who were defeated.

Rubbing Leonardo's head, Ebert couldn't help sighing: "Your Christmas should be spent with your family, I—I should be glad that Lynn hasn't planned to start a new family yet, at least he can be with your family." I spend Christmas together."

Leonardo's eyes stopped suddenly.He knew that Ebert and his family seemed to be on bad terms, although they weren't as well-known as Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight, nor were they like Michael Jackson's family. Jumping out to accept media interviews all day long, but the indifference between them is clear, his family has always been indifferent to him, no matter whether he is a big star or a poor homeless man, they seem to have no regard for him care about.

Leonardo's parents divorced very early, and the relationship between them also greatly affected Leonardo's view of marriage, but at least he had a mother who cared and cared for him. A family like Ebert is Leon Nadeau is hard to imagine.

Leonardo didn't intend to dig into Ebert's privacy on this kind of matter, so he smiled: "Your manager, I find that he is very willing to let himself go."

Ebert also smiled when he heard the words: "Are you cursing to vent your anger because Lynn has a conflict with your team?"

Leonardo raised his hands: "I didn't say that at all. He said bad things about me behind my back more than I did, and he kept mocking me before I was with you Later, when we got together, he started to complain that I was always getting you into trouble... Hasn’t he complained about us being shortlisted for the Best Actor award at the same time?”

"Well, Leo, I was wrong."

In fact, Leonardo is right. Lynn has indeed let himself go a little bit recently.When he and Ebert first cooperated, both of them belonged to poor wretches whose careers failed and were ridiculed. They competed and queued up with housewives in discount stores for a brand-name suit. In Ebert's view, Mr. Broker should belong to Very caring and infatuated kind.

however--

As Mr. Agent became one of the highest-paid agents in Hollywood, he was gradually living the life of the bum.He doesn't plan to get married, but has been changing girlfriends. Of course, his private life has no impact on Ebert's work, so Ebert has no plans to meddle in his private affairs.

For an old man in his 40s, life is just a boring spice.Hollywood is an extremely chaotic place. Everyone has different values. Its biggest advantage is that it is tolerant to people who believe in any values. Besides, compared to some messy guys, Lynn is already a very upright one. payment.

He made repeated orders not to allow Ebert's private life to be chaotic, but when it was his turn, he had a lot of reasons to explain the benefits of this kind of life.

"He not only laughed at me, but also at you." Leonardo pressed his chin with his fingers and slowly recalled, "One morning, I woke up after you woke up, and then you stood on the balcony to make a phone call, the phone I can hear you clearly. Your agent laughed at you for living a virgin life in Hollywood, and said we were two big fools in love."

Ebert raised his hands in surrender: "Dear Leo, I admit that my agent was emotionally traumatized, and then his brain went wrong."

Ebert leaned down slightly, his face pressed against Leonardo's: "Isn't it good to be two infatuated fools?"

Leonardo was stunned for a moment, then turned his head awkwardly: "Ebert, you're doing this again. It's impossible to seduce me with beauty. I'm a devout believer in God."

"Dear Leo, you forgot, just now you said I was ugly, in fact, you were not moved by my beauty, it was my ugliness that moved you."

"In short, your agent is a bad thing." Leonardo made a final decision, "When I first met you, I thought it was not easy to find an agent who was dedicated to myself, but there are always pros and cons to everything. My manager wouldn't dare laugh at me behind my back."

"Lynn never laughed at me behind my back, he always laughed at me to my face."

"That's why there is no star in Hollywood that is more pitiful than you, and you are actually laughed at by your agent. Poor guy, I have deep sympathy for you." Leonardo looked deeply at Ebert With a glance, he said sternly, "I have to warn you, dear Ebert, stay away from your manager, don't learn his stupidity. Most importantly, don't learn his flirtatious manner."

"The point is the last sentence?"

Leonardo pursed his lips slightly: "Yes, the point is the last sentence. If you learn from him, you will definitely lose me."

"I'm too timid, I don't dare at all." Ebert approached him slightly, leaned slightly, and lightly pecked his face.
