[US Entertainment] Actor

Chapter 176 The Mystery of Sexuality

A voice in Ebert's head reminded him that Heath Ledger would be his greatest rival.

Ebert, who witnessed Heath Ledger's performance on the spot, felt the most deeply. Heath Ledger gave him the feeling that he was no less than the first time he watched Al Pacino's performance back then. The impact and shock were overwhelming. of.Ebert has worked with many powerful actors, including Hilary Swank, Jeff Bridges, Liam Neeson...including Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman who are also in the "Dark Knight" crew , Their performances are also naturally excellent, but perhaps because the roles they play are not as sharp and sharp as "The Clown", the shocking effect they bring is naturally greatly reduced.

This is the first time Ebert has seen such a performance in an actor of the same age.

An actor is a profession that relies on talent and hard work, especially in Hollywood, where the world's top actors gather. Ebert thinks he is very talented in acting, but when he saw Heath Ledger, he found that he It is too early to be proud of that Oscar. With such an excellent opponent, he should work harder.

The scenes of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger were still on the scene. The "Joker" told Rachel the story of him and his wife, but Rachel punched him down: "You are a little violent, I like."

The next moment, Ebert stepped forward in a bat suit and gave Heath Ledger a heavy punch: "Then you should like me more!"

"Joker" threw his men in front of Batman one by one. In terms of combat effectiveness, "Joker" couldn't compare with Batman at all, but he became the most eye-catching villain in the entire Batman series.

For he is not bound.

While Batman was in chaos, the "Joker" held Rachel hostage and threatened him. Batman told him to put down the gun, and his answer was simple: "As long as you take off your little mask, let everyone see who you really are." .”

"Put him down." The mask covered his face, but anyone could easily discern the anger in Batman's tone.

"You really don't know how to use words." "Joker" let out a burst of wanton laughter, let go of his hands, and threw Rachel down from the tall building.

The "Joker" played by Heath Ledger was too crazy, and Ebert almost tried his best to keep his performance from being in a weak position. Khan: "Don't do it again."

His back was drenched with sweat.

The last time Ebert felt this way was when he was filming The Departed, and he forced himself to keep up with Jack Nicholson's performance, and Jack Nicholson acted with no scruples, like A ferocious beast, full of aggressiveness and aggression, it is undoubtedly a painful thing to play against him, but for Ebert, this is also a chance to exercise.

When it comes to acting skills, Ebert does not think he will be inferior to Heath Ledger, but the role of "Joker" is too aggressive, and against him, Batman is like a powerless weakling, just like In the scene just now, Batman took Rachel seriously, but the "Joker" didn't care about Rachel's life or death at all. Heath Ledger only needed to focus on shaping the "Joker" into a perverted and anti-social personality. The framework he can play is very large, but Ebert has to confine himself in a small space, constrained by the secular and foreign objects.

In the script, the story Alfred tells Batman tells the story of his friends being attacked by a robber who robs the gems and loses them because some People don't want things like money, and they can't be bribed, intimidated, threatened, because they just want to see the world burn.

"Joker" is exactly such a person.

The filming period of the whole movie was very long, and the time passed away quietly. In the blink of an eye, July also came to an end, and time soon came to August.

Another summer file, but this has nothing to do with Ebert. "The Dark Knight" may choose a summer file for release, but that is at least next year.

Of course, Ebert's previous box office records set one after another made the film company's executives and investors full of confidence in him. They tirelessly lobbied Lynn to recommend their scripts to Ebert. Type of script, as long as Ebert participates, the final box office of the film will make every investor's heart flutter.

The filming of Leonardo's "Road to Revolution" is coming to an end, but "The Dark Knight" still needs about four months to end, but according to the current progress, the performances of the actors are all qualified. The cooperation of the movie is also very good, and the film is likely to be completed before the scheduled deadline. After all, "The Mystery of Heroes" was also filmed before the scheduled time.

In the middle of the month, Lynn finally told Ebert the result of his bid for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button": "David Fincher agreed to Paramount's request, the premise is that you must comply with his request 100% .”

"His request? It's so subjective, I don't know what the director's standard is."

"But anyway, my old Ebert mate, the part is yours. Are you worried about David Fincher making it difficult? No, no, no, it's not necessary, David Fincher is a good director, yes , but his habit of nostalgia has restricted him from moving forward." Lynn explained in a low voice, "Among all Hollywood directors, David Fincher's style can be regarded as his own. He started by shooting commercials, "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club" are also highly rated, but he has not received even one Oscar. He has no Quentin personality, nor does Alejandro Gonzalez know how to tell stories. Especially Quentin, after watching his movie no one remembers who the lead actor is, but everyone knows it's a Quentin movie."

"David Fincher insisted on using Brad Pitt, but among all the actors in Hollywood, Brad's acting skills can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, and his existence dragged down the quality of the whole movie. David Fincher said to Oscar Don’t you have an idea? I don’t think so. When some directors with distinctive personalities want to win Oscars, their style will unconsciously become softer, and scripts like "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" don’t look like David It's a style that Fincher would have favored, but it's very much to the taste of the Oscar judges."

"Brad Pitt would probably beat you to death if he heard these words."

"What he can't hear, so what if he hears it? This is the reality that he must face up to. It's too easy for actors like them to become popular, and they have experienced too few twists and turns. When they were young, they could rely on their faces to deceive young people. Girl, once you get old, you want to take the route of acting, how is it possible?" Lin En snorted, "I always think that actors should start thinking about transformation when they are around 30 years old, and actresses can't just think about acting when they are 25 years old. Sweet girls with no brains, once they miss the opportunity, the road behind will only get narrower and narrower, and Meg Ryan is a perfect example."

"And you—" Lynn shifted the topic to Ebert, "If you hadn't encountered the golden raspberry at that time, your development would not have been as smooth as it is today. So we should be grateful for the predicament."

"It's a very philosophical proposition." Ebert stretched his waist and took a long breath, "Okay, it's going to be a busy period again, do you think I can get another prize with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" An Oscar nomination?"

"If you play normally, there should be no problem."

Ebert also felt that there was no problem. Although his popularity as an Oscar winner has gradually dropped, any news related to him will add the title of Oscar winner to the title, and the media that are not afraid of trouble will even emphasize him over and over again. He is the youngest Oscar winner in history.

Americans still like Ebert very much. Although most audiences have the image of a good boy who doesn’t like to cause trouble, the audience loves to watch his movies, and they like his performance. In addition, although Ebert doesn’t like to make trouble, But he is definitely not a doormat for being bullied by others. When faced with accusations and abuse, he will definitely fight back viciously. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, although Ebert is kind to others, he is not hypocritical.

After Ebert won the Oscar winner, the media reported his deeds one after another. His history of winning the golden raspberry, being criticized by his former agent, and fighting gangsters were all revealed bit by bit. His fame almost reached the peak To this point, some media even spent a few large sections introducing his growth history.After the Oscars ended, Ebert was highly exposed for a period of time. It was not until he entered the "Dark Knight" crew that there was no other news for several months, and the media turned their attention to other places.

Now, apart from the news of the new movie, Ebert's reason for appearing in the newspaper is mostly the mystery of his sexuality.

Not only the media, but people all over the United States have also had deep doubts about Ebert's concept of mate selection.

His deadly rival, the National Enquirer, once conducted a survey on Ebert's sexual orientation in major cities in North America. According to the survey results, a full 49.8% of the people believed that he was asexual and that he was gay. A wretched 36 percent of those surveyed thought Ebert was heterosexual, at 14.2 percent.

Some respondents even said bluntly: "Even if there is news that Ebert's object is a gorilla in the zoo, I will not doubt it. There is nothing unacceptable in this. Everyone has the right to choose their love, no matter the object is Man, woman or animal."

"Maybe his object was the curtain in the movie theater, I think it is very likely."

"I think his most likely partner is Leonardo DiCaprio, the two bachelors are hehehehehehehehehehe when no one can see..." Because the interviewee's expression was too wretched, What was said was so filthy that when the media posted the interview video on their website, they had to first code the interviewee's face, and BiBiBi covered up some of his remarks.
