[US Entertainment] Actor

Holding the trophy, Ebert let out a long sigh of relief, leaned on the passenger seat, and looked at the smiling manager with one eye open: "Why do you look happier than me?"

The manager turned the steering wheel, and then said: "I'm just calculating the benefits you can bring from this award. Ebert, your vacation is too long, it's time to consider making a new movie and take on a new job. "

Ebert held his chin: "But the second part of "Batman" will start shooting soon, and the villain in the new script is the Joker, which should be the most eye-catching villain in the Batman series, Warner Definitely have great expectations for this one.”

"Well, based on the shooting time of the first part, it may take half a year to shoot this movie, and then the filming period of the movie will probably start in June, which is only four or five months away from now." Lin En rubbed his chin, "Besides, it will take a while for you to maintain your figure and exercise your muscles when the filming starts. It may be gone in a month or two, and the Oscars are still close to a month away. It seems that I really There is no way to arrange a permanent job for you during this time."

Ebert smiled slightly: "I'm still looking forward to this new movie. Nolan's "The Prestige" has a good box office and reputation. I heard that the second film will use newcomers, Heath Ledger, you know, The actor from "Brokeback Mountain."

"Since the first film achieved double results at the box office and word of mouth, the second film has attracted the attention of many actors. Many people want the interesting role of the clown. I heard that Robin Williams and Adrian Brody is interested in acting, but Warner does not want to affect Nolan's performance in the choice of actors, so the choice is basically in Nolan's hands, and Nolan insisted on using Heath Ledger." Lin En explained softly, "There were people trying to get in, even 'Two-Face' Harvey Dent, Hugh Jackman wanted to get rid of 'Wolverine' after he was in The Prestige For his shackles, he seems to have tasted the benefits of working with Nolan, as well as Ryan Phillips, Josh Lucas...the competition is still very fierce."

Ebert silently glanced at Mr. Manager: "Are you very proud?"

"Of course, they are Hugh Jackman, Robin Williams, Ebert, to put it bluntly, a few years ago you were not even worthy to carry their shoes, but now they are willing to play in your starring role You played a supporting role in the movie, and you worked with Robin Williams, but to be honest, although your performance in "White Night" was good, everyone only remembers Al Pacino and Robin Williams. Williams' final showdown, only your true fans know you were in that movie."

"Don't worry, I have a lot of real fans."

"I've never denied this." Lynn waved his hand and said with a smile, "You know, Ebert, some people desperately want to get in, but some people try their best to escape."

"Who?"

"What do you think?" Mr. Manager showed a mysterious expression.

Ebert nodded, indicating that he was very clear. The filming process of "Batman Begins" was quite enjoyable. Gary Oldman and Michael Caine are both outstanding but low-key actors. Working with them has taught Ebert a lot. What makes him a little unhappy is the pursuit of him by the current "Sister Tom" Katie Holmes.

Ebert also heard about the differences between Katie Holmes and Warner Bros.

"Before "Batman Begins", not many people really knew about Katie Holmes. Although her affair with Tom Cruise was exposed during the promotion of the movie, it was more involved. How cheap is Tom Cruise and his "War of the Worlds", but Katie believes that she is responsible for the film's 3 million box office. Warner did not deny her credit. They invited her to be in the second film She continued to play Rachel Dawes, and her salary was greatly increased, but she turned down the invitation." Lynn snorted coldly, "Who does she think she is? You turned down Disney only after filming "Dead Souls" The invitation to continue filming the third film, Keira Knightley also decided to quit the series after the third film was finished, you all proved your appeal in the box office to the audience and the media, and you have an Oscar nomination in hand , but what does she have?"

"Hugh Jackman and Robin Williams both want to be part of this box-office promising series, and Katie Holmes, who is nothing but Tom Cruise's wife. Although Tom Cruise and his Scientology are disgusting, but in terms of being a person, he definitely beats Katie Holmes by several blocks." The more Lynn thinks about it, the more his face stinks, "'Tom Tom' Is it that good? I sincerely suggest Katie Holmes to listen to Nicole Kidman's crying. In terms of strength and acting ability, she can't match Nicole Kidman's fraction."

Ebert smiled and said, "Lynn, I never knew you had such a sense of justice."

Lynn rolled his eyes at him: "No, I just feel a physical disgust for some female stars who waste resources. Hollywood is not an easy place to live. To be honest, I have never looked down on those who trade their bodies for opportunities Female stars, because God gives them a chance, they will firmly grasp it. The process may be disgraceful, but as long as the ending is good, it is enough. But some people obviously have the best resources and opportunities, but they always wanton squander."

"Everyone's pursuit is different." Ebert said, "And, dear Lynn, even if you look at those hard-working newcomers in this way, you can't hide the reality that you are a super pervert."

"Go away, annoying Ebert."

After sending Ebert home, Lynn went back.However, before leaving, the agent also emphasized that Ebert will arrange a lot of commercial endorsement plans during this period. After all, the number of his current endorsements is still a bit small. If there is no endorsement and no new movies, Ebert's income will increase. very limited.

"I also want to ask God to ask him to give you an Oscar, so that when we sign a new contract with Warner, we can sit on the ground and raise the price." The agent raised his eyebrows, "The most stingy company will not mind giving 3 million box office The male lead of the movie and the new Oscar winner are treated with the highest standards, after all, you can give them the highest attention and the greatest economic benefits."

"Lend your auspicious words."

As soon as Ebert opened the door, before the sofa warmed up, Leonardo, whose face was wrinkled into a bitter melon, walked in.

"Leo... what's wrong with you, are you really planning to hit me with a trophy?"

Leonardo squinted at him: "No, I never do such meaningless things. I'm just a little annoyed. Now that the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards are away from me, all my hopes are pinned on On you."

Ebert nodded: "I will work hard, even if you can't be an Oscar winner, I will make you the Oscar winner's man."

"Ha!" Leonardo looked around, and started to circle around Ebert's room. After walking around for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he saw the Screen Actors Guild Award that Ebert had just received, which was not yet hot. "I didn't want to hit you just now, but the Oscar winner's man or something, I still think it's more suitable for you, so Ebert, be good, sit there and don't move, let me beat you hard!"

Before Ebert could react, the cold touch of the trophy was attached to his face, then his shoulders, back and calves.

Leonardo locked the trophy in a glass cabinet: "Let's forget it, the Screen Actors Union's trophy is not so strong, it will be bad if it is accidentally smashed."

He observed Ebert's display case with great interest: "Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, British Academy of Film and Television Awards, Golden Satellite Awards, Teen Choice Awards... There are indeed many trophies, and it seems that there is really one missing Oscar."

"Yeah, Leo, why don't you move your trophy here, so that the cabinet looks more substantial."

"No." Leonardo refused righteously, "Others will obviously feel that my trophy is much less than yours when they see it, so I don't want to make such a meaningless comparison."

"Obviously you have more trophies, okay?" Ebert sighed, "Dear Leo, I found that I can never beat you in debating."

"No, dear Ebert, I think it's more the result of the degeneration of your language function." Leonardo said, "In short, I only have one idea, I hope you can win this year's Oscar, the chance is fleeting Passing away, and only once, you have to cherish it."

"Of course, I never pin my hopes on the next time."

On February 2th, Ebert, who was wearing an Armani suit, appeared on the Oscars red carpet on time.
