[US Entertainment] Actor

After filming a scene, Ebert's back was covered with sweat. In the past two months, the daytime temperature in Chicago was the highest. Although the temperature was difficult to compare with the high temperature of 36 or 7 degrees in his previous life, he finished it in a heavy bat suit. Action scenes are also quite a challenge for Ebert.

As soon as Nolan yelled "Ca", Ebert couldn't wait to take off his bat suit and mask, and looked in the mirror. His whole face was flushed, as if he had been roasted several times under the sun. Just like when he was a child, his forehead and neck were covered with sweat. The assistant was busy wiping his face with a towel, and Ebert gently touched his cheeks. The temperature seemed to be so high that he could boil eggs.

Today, he and Heath Ledger have only this one scene. The director specially reserved half a day for shooting, but no one thought that the cooperation between Ebert and Heath Ledger would be so good. It didn't take long for the two of them to give a perfect answer with a perfect performance. Even if they strive for perfection like Nolan, they can't pick out any flaws.

The rest of the time will be left to Ebert to control freely.

Ebert smiled gratefully at Mr. Director, and after greeting the rest of the crew, he walked briskly to Leonor's side, patted him on the shoulder, and hugged him warmly: "You How come?"

Ebert walked in too haste and was in too much joy, so he didn't even notice Heath Ledger behind him with a tangled face and then a long sigh of relief.

He couldn't help showing off to Leonardo triumphantly: "The biggest advantage of playing Batman is here. When the scene requires me to wear a mask, I don't need to make up or remove it. There is no way, the skin is so good. But Heath It's miserable, as long as he's in a role, he'll just sit there and let the make-up artist smear on his face, and he'll have to wait for the make-up to be removed after everyone else is done, poor boy."

Leonardo glanced at him quietly, opened the car door, let Ebert sit in the passenger seat, and then asked casually, "You have a good relationship with him?"

"Yes." Ebert nodded, "To be precise, I have a good relationship with everyone. The "Dark Knight" crew is a very interesting crew. Everyone is imaginative and capable, and they are not restrained at all when they cooperate. .Heath is a very talented guy, hard working, he is the best actor I have ever seen in my age group, we have a great time working together...”

Suddenly, Ebert's voice paused, and he glanced at Leonardo's face, his eyes moved slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips.In the next second, Ebert stretched out a finger and lightly poked Leonardo's cheek. Seeing that the soft face was pressed into a depression, he smiled and said, "Leo, you You can't be jealous, you actually believe the things that the media wrote indiscriminately."

Leonardo gathered his palms together and encircled Ebert's fingers. His palms were very dry, and Ebert's fingers were still slightly sweaty, but he didn't mind, instead he squeezed even tighter: "But you I really appreciate Heath Ledger, when you worked with me, you didn’t say such a bunch of compliments. It’s not jealousy at all, I’m not jealous at all.”

"I know." Ebert touched his face, "It's my fault. My praise and appreciation should all be left to you. Leo, long time no see, I miss you so much."

"It hasn't been long." Leonardo fastened his seat belt, and put it on for Ebert by the way, "You always said that the movies I made were very hard, but I just watched this for a while today, and you are just as hard."

After closing the car window, Leonardo drove the car to a sparsely populated alley and stopped, pecked Ebert lightly on the cheek: "Ebert, you've lost weight."

Ebert touched his face subconsciously: "I don't know too well, maybe it's too hot, and some people can't eat."

Ebert couldn't help paying attention to Leonardo's face. He wasn't thin, but there was a light cyan trace in his eyes. Although the movie "Road to Revolution" didn't have many action scenes, it was true for him. The emotional excavation is very deep, and the marriage relationship between Kate and Sam Mendes was mixed during the filming. These two aspects are what Leonardo is least good at. I am afraid he will be very hard .

"I'm still very happy that you can come. The shooting period stated in the "Dark Knight" contract is 6 months, and the shooting process is quite fast now, but it will take at least 5 and a half months to really get it done. It's just been two months, and life on set is pretty boring."

Ebert pushed Leonardo lightly, "Leo, I forgot to ask how you moved Chris this time, do you know that Chris has a nickname among our actors called 'Stone', There is nothing that can easily impress him. The scene is well done, 'Oh, that's the actor's duty', the effect of the filming is not perfect, 'Gary, your performance is like a stiff stake, a schoolboy can be a Your teacher is gone'."

"So for a few days after that, Gary Oldman searched the Internet every day for the names of the youngest Oscar nominees, Jackie Cooper, Haley Joel Osment, Justin Henry... and then Saying their names aloud--these people were nominated for Oscars around the age of 10, the golden age of schoolchildren, so Gary's fragile heart was finally comforted, even if Chris humiliated him that his acting skills were not as good as schoolchildren. Don't care. But it made Chris even more unhappy, and Gary had a worse life."

Jackie Cooper, one of the youngest actor nominees in Oscar history, was only 9 years old when he was nominated for an Oscar for the first time. Now 85 years old, Jackie Cooper is still alive and has little to do with Hollywood, but as a The record creator, but his name is forever engraved in the history of Oscars.

After all, Gary Oldman has not been nominated for an Oscar so far. Compared with Jackie Cooper, he is indeed slightly inferior.

Of course, there is no comparison between movie stars of different eras. People cannot judge Meryl Streep or Katharine Hepburn who is better in acting, just remember that they are both great actresses.

Leonardo pondered for a moment, the corners of his lips slightly curved: "Does Emma Thomas's nude photos count?"

Ebert reached out and knocked on Leonardo's head twice: "If your answer is true, Nolan will definitely kick you and me out immediately, stupid Leo!"

Leonardo pouted: "Whoever wants to see his wife's nude photos, only Nolan regards her as a treasure."

In fact, from the appearance point of view, Emma Thomas was definitely a great beauty when she was young. She has been developing in Hollywood all the year round. She is only slightly inferior to female stars in temperament, but as a successful producer, Emma Thomas has comparable authority. There are many female stars. She and Nolan are good at negotiating and communication, and the other is obsessed with movies. The two complement each other in their careers, and Nolan's talent is outstanding. This is an important reason why this husband and wife team is invincible in Hollywood.

Europeans and Americans have a lot of skin problems. Under the lights, the faces of female stars with outstanding temperament can be described as different before and after makeup. If they don’t wear makeup and don’t have special temperament management, the stars who go out without makeup are actually no different from ordinary people. .

Ebert rolled his eyes silently, and tapped Leonardo's head twice: "Leo, answer my question carefully, don't be perfunctory."

"It hurts! Don't hit me on the head, I will become stupid!" Leonardo touched his head, and punched Ebert's arm twice with his fist. "It does have something to do with Emma Thomas. She and Warner A new cooperation project has been launched there, and the risk of the new project is very high, Warner has been hesitating, I gave it a light push, Warner agreed, and Nolan had no choice but to let it go."

"Okay." Ebert rubbed Leonardo's hair. Leonardo recently cut his hair short, and he didn't use styling water on his forehead, so it felt slightly prickly to the touch, but very Comfortable, Ebert couldn't help touching it twice more.

Although Leonardo is visiting the set, the crew is full of people after all, and it is impossible for the two of them to live in the same room grandiosely. They can only drive around the streets and alleys of Chicago to relieve themselves. Lovesickness.

After restarting the car, Leonardo turned on the music and played a song. Ebert closed his eyes and slowly fell into a deep sleep under the sound of the music.

Leonardo quietly glanced at his profile, slowed down, and revealed a gentle smile.

When Ebert woke up, Leonardo had brought him to the busiest business district in Chicago. The windows were bright and bright, and the prices of the goods were high, which discouraged many people who stopped by. In addition, today is not a day off. There wasn't a lot of people. Both of them wore masks and modified their faces a little, but no one could recognize them.

After all, this is Chicago, not Los Angeles where the paparazzi run the streets.

Ebert, who had lived day and night in the crew for several days, suddenly had the feeling of a country bumpkin entering the city. The lights were too dazzling, and the environment was too empty and clean. His feet felt unreal when stepping on the ground.

The two went straight to the men's clothing cabinet.Leonardo looked helplessly at Ebert, who was looking for Armani counters all over the mall with his VIP card: "Armani again? You are the most conscientious spokesperson I have ever seen."

"First, I have a discount card to save money. Second, Armani's men's clothing is not bad. They are all men's clothing counters, and the style gap is not too big. No matter how exaggerated, I will not wear it in all colors. Third, After all, I am a spokesperson, my exposure is high, and the brand will naturally sell better, and I can get a higher endorsement fee from Armani during negotiations."

"Generally speaking, it's about money, you money junkie." After taking the clothes that Ebert handed over, Leonardo put them on without hesitation, "Follow you, I'm about to become Armani's." spokesperson."

After buying some men's clothes, the two went to look at the shoes. There are a little more styles of shoes to choose from. Ebert stepped on the sneakers to try the softness. There have been many fighting scenes recently, and the feet are too tired to wear leather shoes. Sneakers can relieve fatigue a little.

Although Ebert is taller than Leonardo, the size of his shoes is smaller than Leonardo’s. In addition, his feet are thinner, so his shoes are not as good as Leonardo’s. Leonardo has already tried them all. There are three or four pairs, and he is still struggling with whether a certain pair of shoes fit or not.

"It's really troublesome." Leonardo put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said sarcastic words slowly, "You might as well start a shoe company, specializing in making those shoes that are not easy to buy. It's terrible, obviously shoes are already difficult After buying it, you still have to choose the style and color, Ebert, half an hour has passed."

Ebert was unmoved.

He had already checked the time before trying on the shoes, and it was only 27 minutes and 49 seconds, and nothing happened!

Simple Leo, he has no idea that Ebert's average shoe fitting time is 1 hour, and if he really can't find a suitable pair, he will even spend more than 2 hours just to find a pair he is most satisfied with. shoes.

So in the following time, Ebert ran from one counter to another to try on shoes, while Leonardo spread out on the rest seats arranged by each store, with a stiff expression, dull eyes, and a limp mass of people. mud.

"An hour has passed, Ebert, why are you still not well?"

What answered him was a pair of white feet. If he was on a big white and soft bed now, Leonardo would definitely rush over with a "wow" and hug Ebert to bite him desperately, but not now, now Even in the shopping mall, Ebert's foot was not in the right position. His foot covered Leonardo's foot. He lifted it lightly, and then stepped on it hard. Half a second later, the counter was as quiet as a chicken. There was a sudden scream, Leonardo forgot everything in an instant, only the urge to cry out loud.

Well, the world is finally quiet.

Ebert found satisfactory shoes and was in a good mood.And as long as Leonardo makes any inappropriate noises, Ebert's eyes will look coldly at his lower body—it used to be only the fifth limb, but now he has to add feet, Leonardo feels aggrieved, Why is it always him who gets hurt?

After trying on clothes and buying shoes, Ebert went to a nearby bookstore to pick out some books related to acting and directing, and finally returned with satisfaction.

Of course, neither of them rushed back to the hotel arranged by the crew, but had a meal at a relatively famous restaurant nearby.The food for the crew was actually pretty good, and Ebert wasn't particularly picky about food, but it's been a bit hot recently, and he consumed too many calories, so that he couldn't eat the lunch box every day.

It's different now. Seeing Leonardo, Ebert's mood is a hundred times better than usual. The food in this restaurant tastes very good. Ebert wolfed down several large plates of food. When he rubbed his stomach and looked up at Leonardo, he only saw the guy with his mouth open and his face full of surprise.

"Lynn allowed you to eat like this?"

Ebert blinked his eyes and shrank his neck: "When I was eating, I couldn't think of a guy named Lynn Hawke in this world at all."

"You are so delicious, I'm really afraid I can't afford you." Having said that, Leonardo called the waiter to order a few more dishes, and put the plate in Ebert's hand, "Eat more One point, it's still early, and I might be hungry later."

Ebert rubbed his chubby stomach and shook his head: "Forget it, I'm worried that Lynn will really kill me if I eat any more."

"Originally, I came to visit the class this time to trouble you, but instead of teaching you a lesson, I became your slave and follower." Leonardo sighed, "I'm really upset."

"So what are you going to do, keep talking about Heath Ledger?"

So taking advantage of Leonardo's meal time, Ebert told him that he and other people in the crew suspected that Heath Ledger had symptoms of depression, and everyone worked together to help Heath Ledger.

But Leonardo was still a little sour: "But I can see that in the entire "Dark Knight" crew, your relationship with Heath Ledger is the best."

Reminiscent of the scene in the morning when Ebert and Heath Ledger were discussing the script with their heads leaning against each other, Leonardo's voice couldn't help raising his voice a bit.

Ebert rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then gave an explanation he thought was correct: "Maybe I am too good, he admires me and regards me as an idol. Dear Leo, you know, as an actor , we cannot refuse the approach of any fan, even if this fan has the same occupation as you."

"Hehe." Leonardo smiled slightly, "Dear Ebert, you have so many fans."

"Because I'm handsome, good at acting, dedicated to my work, and willing to help others... I have so many advantages that I can't even count them. Isn't that why you fell in love with me, Leo?"

"Hmph!" Leonardo bit Ebert's finger as if to vent his anger, leaving a small tooth mark on the fingertip, "I found that after listening to your explanation, I am even more upset. If your If the male hormones didn't diverge too much, those messy things wouldn't be reported on the news."

"No, no, Leo, you underestimate the morals of the media. Remember when you and I first met? We are obviously two unrelated people, but they can just make up that we are in a certain place. It’s news about having fun in an entertainment venue. If you have a girlfriend, they will try their best to make up that you cheated. If you don’t, they will suspect that you are out of the closet or that you are not sexually capable. Tabloid journalists have more imaginations. If they were going to go into fiction, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and even Mark Twain would be out of a job."

"Why do celebrity couples break up so easily? Of course, the emotional discord between them is a very important reason, but the paparazzi is undoubtedly a booster. High-intensity exposure can easily tire people. Imagine—"

Ebert's voice paused, "One day you and I appeared on the street early in the morning, assuming we had come out publicly at that time, if I was full of energy and your face was tired, they would say that your sexual ability is not good, if I If you walk faster and slower, they will say that you are not physically strong. If you stay with the female star for a few more seconds, they will say "Leonardo suspected that he abandoned Ebert and found a new love". Can you bear it if you live?"

"It's really embarrassing." Leonardo frowned, "But do we have to keep it a secret, just for the paparazzi's plausible words? I don't want to, I have already planned, as soon as I win the Oscar winner, we will come out, It’s a big deal to reduce the workload.”

"I think so too."

Suddenly, Leonardo looked at Ebert as if waking up, his eyes were dangerous: "Ebert Dawson, why did you mention that I am not good enough in every sentence just now? I am not good at sexual ability, physical strength, Find another new love... why don't you take yourself as an example, you think I can't do it?"

It's not that I think you can't do it, but I think you're not as good as me, Ebert murmured silently in his heart. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for him to say such a thing.

However, although he didn't say it, his actions and demeanor said everything.Leonardo narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Ebert sharply, and gritted his teeth: "I can't?"

"Dear, love, de, eb, special, me, will, let, you, know, know, who, talent, yes, no, yes, that, one, one." After saying this, Leonardo's eyes were full of murderous intent.

As a result, the original plan to go to the crew hotel to rest at night was completely bankrupt, and Ebert asked Nolan for leave, and the two of them boldly went to verify the truth of who was worse.

The lights were turned off, turned on in the morning, and the night passed quickly.

Ebert's eyes were black and blue, while the moistened Leonardo's face was flushed, and he seemed to be seven or eight years younger.Ebert was about to put on his pajamas and take a shower, but Leonardo hooked his legs to stop him. Then, under the doubts on Ebert's face, he slowly stretched out his feet and tapped Pointed at the little Ebert who was hanging in the air: "Now you admit it, it should be that you are not good enough!"

After working all night, Ebert was indeed a little tired, but the question of whether it would work or not was a matter of a man's dignity. In the morning, he was very angry, and when he was hooked by Leonardo's foot, little Ebert also woke up.

Ebert just kept on doing nothing, threw the pajamas in his hand under the bed, pulled off the quilt and pushed Leonardo down, his body clinging to his body, his legs wrapped around his legs, and his lips couldn't help but Close to his chest: "The weather is really nice, let's see you later."

When Ebert got out of bed to report to the crew, his legs were a little weak, and he almost tripped over the quilt when he got out of bed.Leonardo helped him by the waist and sent him out of bed. Ebert could clearly hear his presumptuous laughter when he went to wash in the bathroom. He even reminded Ebert loudly: "Dear Ebert , you are only 27 years old, you must keep exercising!"

Ebert brushed his teeth angrily and spat out a mouthful of water.

It's just because he wasn't ready, and he's consumed a lot lately. When he's ready next time, heh heh heh...

As soon as he arrived at the set, Ebert saw the enthusiastic but unknown smiles on everyone's faces. He couldn't help but shudder, and after careful identification, everyone's smiles seemed normal again.

But soon, Gary Oldman showed his original shape. He squeezed out a wicked smile and blinked his eyes: "Ebert, I should have had a very pleasant night yesterday. Young people are young." People, tsk tsk tsk... But I think your physical strength doesn't seem to be very good, but you usually exercise a lot, is it natural?"

Ebert staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Sure enough, I'm right, young man, you don't have enough physical strength. Ebert, where did Leonardo DiCaprio take you yesterday? Chicago still has that kind of fun place Hurry up and tell me!"

"And me and me..." Jonathan Nolan suddenly approached.

Looking at the enlarged faces in front of him and feeling the endless air-conditioning from the director behind him, Ebert suddenly felt tired.
