[US Entertainment] Actor

Ebert has always been aware that the relationship between his agent and Leo is not good, but seeing one scolding the other as an "idiot" and the other calling "little boy", you can hear the fullness in it through the phone. Furious.Ebert sighed, strode forward and snatched the phone from Leonardo's hand: "Lyn, are you done?"

It was probably because his tone was too calm, but the manager who had been chattering just now seemed to be blocked by something, unable to utter a single word. After a long time, he hummed lightly, threateningly. Talk to Ebert: "In short, you are not allowed to touch high-calorie foods like potato chips in the future. Also, I didn't start this time. Leonardo DiCaprio is the culprit. He was the one who started all of this."

"No problem." Ebert whispered, "But it's not a pleasant thing to listen to you arguing on the phone. I think my ears are polluted."

"Then please also restrain your Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, don't let him appear in front of me, otherwise I will definitely have a heart attack."

After hanging up the phone, Ebert looked at Ebert helplessly: "Why is the relationship between you and Lynn obviously so bad...you still send him a picture of me eating potato chips?"

Leonardo shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Probably—I am very happy to see you being scolded? Ebert, don't be so narrow-minded. I don't have a deep hatred with your manager. I just feel provocative. He saw It's just interesting that he looks crazy, the old man, ha, can't stand a little verbal stimulation."

"I can't stand you." Ebert rolled his eyes. "I don't want you to attack each other like gamecocks every time you meet. Poor Lynn, he must think we are the same now, united Get up and bully him."

"That's the price he should pay, who made him a poor bachelor." Leonardo said, "I think, it's probably because we are born at odds. Every time I meet him, I can't help but provoke him, but He is still fooled, I have never seen such a simple guy like him."

"That's because he will lose his mind when he meets you. Most of the time, my manager is still able to keep calm and handle all the work matters for me. The development of things is often greatly unexpected, and I I remember that when I first met you, Lynn still admired you very much, and he hoped that I could regard you as a role model in my career, but he never thought that one day your relationship with him would be so bad."

"Things are impermanent, just like I never guessed that you would win the Oscar before me." Leonardo squinted at Ebert, "It is definitely me who suffers. Without your presence, the Oscar judges would definitely Present that statuette to me."

"You completely ignored the existence of Forrest Whitaker..." Before Albert could finish speaking, Leonard took a heavy bite on his mouth.

He glared at Ebert, and said righteously: "I don't care about anyone else, I can only see you. In short, I don't want to see you as arrogant as a guy who is not half as good as me. You leave My luck, Ebert, you scoundrel."

"..."

Ebert choked, and after a while, he said slowly: "It turns out that Leo has so much dissatisfaction with me. It seems that I should be worse."

Now it was Leonardo's turn to be speechless, he gave Ebert a vicious look, turned his head and refused to talk to him again.His butt was facing Ebert, and the hem of his shirt was slightly raised because of too much movement. The delicate white skin and round buttocks tempted Ebert all the time. He swallowed his saliva and looked gloomy. Glancing at Leonardo, he looked out at the sky through the window.

Well, it's really early now, he let Leo go first, and let's talk about it at night.

There were still a few days before joining the group, and Ebert was not idle. He took the time to carefully study the script of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" a few times, and roughly summarized Fitzgerald's original work and his other works After watching it again, this movie still wants to express something fundamentally. It is meaningless to simply talk about a person’s adventure of rejuvenation. David Fincher’s ambition is in the Oscars. This movie is showing Benjamin Button. Some other things are also added to the encounters, such as the changes of the times, the impermanence of the world, and the power of love.

This is also one of Oscar's favorite genres.

The classic "Forrest Gump" starring Tom Hanks also contains expressions in this regard, and even the "The Pentium Age" starring Ebert himself introduced the stock market during the Great Depression in the United States at the beginning. And changes in the auto industry, which is also a key point that resonates with nostalgic older people.

The reason why Ebert studied the script so patiently was that on the one hand, he was always cautious about every movie he starred in, and on the other hand, it was because he liked the plot of this movie very much. Benjamin Button He is very interested in people's experiences, and he is also thinking about how he should play this person's life well. From old age to middle age to youth, this is undoubtedly a challenge, but Ebert is not without confidence in himself. After all, Brad Pitt has won an actor nomination for this role. In Ebert's mind, his acting skills are several times better than Brad's.

The life of an actor is glamorous, but for an otaku like Ebert, it is better to eat and sleep at home instead of being exposed to flashlights every day. Filming is also a good choice. He always feels that he is the best when he is acting. Only when he is confident can he show his greatest strengths. This is the feeling that endorsements, commercials, and participation in variety shows cannot bring him.

In the first ten days of March, Ebert waved his hand to the reluctant eyes of his dear Leo, and drove to the set.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is David Fincher's masterpiece aimed at changing his personal style. Both David Fincher and Paramount Pictures have invested a lot of energy in this movie. This movie is An orthodox feature film, but spent a full 1.5 million US dollars in investment, which is considered a high price among the several films that Ebert starred in.

Of course, the actor's remuneration also occupies a large part of it. Although Ebert took the initiative to fight for the film, he was not relentless when collecting the money, and he collected 2500 million US dollars in remuneration. Of course, no Includes dividends.Lynn wanted to make a dividend, but Paramount seemed to be infringed and refused to agree. Considering that this movie is indeed not the type that attracts audiences to buy tickets into the theater, the manager only I can just do it silently.

Although Cate Blanchett has appeared in many classic works in Hollywood in the past few years and won an Oscar queen, her most impressive role seems to be the elf queen in the "Lord of the Rings" series. Although the queen played in "Elizabeth" also won her a lot of praise, including the first and second Oscar nominations, Americans are not very impressed with the legendary British queen. Cate Blanchett just gets bonus points for the role in her native UK.

Ebert felt that the actress was not very good at picking scripts.

Although "The Lord of the Rings" is also a male protagonist, the plot distribution between the characters is relatively even. Aragorn, Gandalf and other characters have their own bright spots. As an important role in promoting the development of the plot, the Queen of the Elf has a glamorous appearance and a natural temperament. Can attract a lot of attention for Cate Blanchett.

However, in addition to "Elizabeth", Cate Blanchett has also acted in many familiar works, such as "The Talented Ripley", "The Aviator" and even now "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", Without exception, these few movies are not leading actors. Except for her performance of Katharine Hepburn, Kate won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Leonardo and Martin Scorsese, a statuette, did not really boost Kate's career.

The statuettes are only really valuable for the trophies of the queen and best actor. Although the supporting actors can be happy for a while, but relying on only one statuette to make their careers go to the next level, this can only be a fantasy.

Compared with Cate Blanchett, Ebert can only be regarded as a young man, but Cate Blanchett is not difficult to get along with. Although her appearance is relatively cold, her real personality is very gentle. In fact In fact, there are very few first-line stars in Hollywood who have a bad temper, especially foreign actors like Kate. People skills are almost standard.

"Actually, we were almost able to work together." Ebert said with a smile. Seeing that Cate Blanchett was still at a loss, he reminded, "Martin's "The Aviator", I also won Howard Hugh The role of Adams, but in the end Martin chose Leo."

"Yes." Cate Blanchett also responded to him with a smile, "You and Leonardo are best friends, we have both worked together, this is a good coincidence."

Ebert also smiled: "Indeed, I hope to have a happy cooperation."

"How could it be unpleasant?" Cate Blanchett winked at Ebert.Ebert thought he was already a mature man. After all, according to the custom of the Celestial Dynasty, he would be one year older after the New Year. He is 28 years old this year, and he is not far away from 30 years old. In front of Cate Blanchett, who has grown a lot, he feels like a little boy.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with being like a little boy, but unfortunately, because Ebert is too young, most of the actresses who play with him are a bit older than him. However, in the film industry, currently with Kate Actresses of the same age as Blanchett are still the mainstream of big-budget heroines, and it will be difficult to change for a while.
