[US Entertainment] Actor

The weather is getting colder, and in the continuous rain, the filming of "The Wolf of Wall Street" finally came to an end.Everyone else had already flown home, Leonardo was the latest, there were a bunch of narrations in the movie waiting for him to dub, and Ebert stayed with him until the end.

Mr. Director showed a kind smile as always: "Thank you guys, you are completely relieved."

"Martin." Ebert stepped forward and hugged the director, who is still struggling in the front line of the film, "Thank you for your teaching, which is very important to me."

Mr. Director blinked: "That's because you are a very talented young man. I hope to see your directorial talent showcased soon."

"It won't be too late." Ebert smiled brightly. He is also a movie lover. He can allow himself to relax without any scruples when he should be resting, but once he starts working, he will immediately concentrate on it. put in.

In any case, he will not live up to his work and his love for acting.

After staying in the film crew for several months, Ebert was not tired. On the contrary, he was many times more tired than usual in the period after the shooting of the film - shooting commercials, participating in commercial activities...Mr. Agent He arranged all the time he could squeeze out, and refused to give Ebert any time to rest.

There is no way.In fact, Ebert understands Lynn's helplessness very well. Sometimes he is really too self-willed. This year's "The Dark Knight Rises" has saved Ebert a certain amount of attention, but this is not enough. For someone like him who is at the peak of his career For a young actor, any wasted time means a huge loss, not to mention attention, appeal, and personal influence that has been accumulated with great difficulty.

"So I don't understand what you're thinking at all, you know, Tom Hanks is still working hard, not only making movies, but also making TV shows, you are not as good as a 56-year-old man, you are just - you are Pig!"

The broker was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say.

No wonder he was so angry. Before the age of 30, he won two actor statuettes, and the cumulative box office can even be ranked among the top ten actors in Hollywood. No matter how you look at it, having such an actor is like embracing a golden mountain, right?

However, no one knew of Mr. Lynn Hawke's pain.

It is true that Jinshan is Jinshan, but this Jinshan can only be seen from a distance, but he is stingy to pick a piece of gold from him.

What's the use of something that can't make money?

Although Ebert's net worth has remained high in the past three years, ranking among the top in Hollywood, and the commercial offer is even more shockingly high. Signed a renewed contract with Ebert, and the packaged price of 3000 million US dollars in endorsement fees has set an endorsement record. In addition, Cadillac, Nike, Jaeger-LeCoultre... All big and small brands have paid for Ebert An olive branch was extended, and Mr. Broker was dazzled just by picking.

As Ebert's agent, Lynn has also firmly occupied the front row of the agent's income list with an annual income of more than [-] million, and because Ebert's achievements three years ago were too thrilling, he also successfully Became the agent with the most say in Endeavor Elite Company, and its annual dividends and revenue are at the top of Hollywood.

He is not short of money.

What Mr. Broker hates is Ebert's lazy mentality. Even if Ebert often attends public welfare and charity galas, it is much better than staying at home and not working all day.

"Soon, soon I will go out to work." Ebert raised his hands to promise, "I swear, I will pick out a suitable script, and then get an Oscar nomination."

"Humph."

one year later.

On the morning of January 1, the weather was still a bit cool.Ebert was sitting behind the car rubbing his fingers. Beside him, Leonardo's hand covered the back of his hand, but Ebert pushed it back in disgust: "Leo, your hands are even bigger than mine. It's even colder."

"I didn't pay attention." Leonardo smiled and took a deep breath. "Today's temperature is several degrees lower than yesterday. Those female stars who have been preparing for the red carpet for several weeks may have to suffer again."

If someone observes carefully, they will find that there is a golden ring on Leonardo's finger at some point.

If someone has an understanding of fashion circles and accessories, they should be able to recognize that this ring is from Cartier. It is a new limited edition that was just launched this year. Although the price is too high for ordinary people, it is well received.Of course, even if someone took pictures of this ring, they would not care too much about the price, they would just write over and over that Leonardo might have a private life with a certain woman or man.

As for why he didn't dare to categorically state that Leonardo's other half is a woman, Ebert contributed a lot.

"Actually, I'm also a little cold." Ebert caught a glimpse of the shining circle, "Why do you insist on wearing it?"

Leonardo let out a chuckle, without making a sound, but instead kissed the ring with his lips: "Because I think it will bring me good luck."

Ebert: "..."

Having been with Leonardo for so long, he never knew that this guy was a superstitious person.

Still the familiar Hilton Hotel, the 71st American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards will be held today.Although he had won the Golden Globe Award before, since 07, Ebert felt that the Golden Globe Award was not suitable for him. The nominations were one after another, but the awards have been 7 for 0 years. Of course, Ebert did not It is not every year that there are works, and it is full of calculations. From 07 to this year, he has only received 3 nominations in total.

However, I don't know whether it's his bad luck or the bad luck of the Golden Globes. As long as the Golden Globes don't award the leading actor to Ebert, Oscar will definitely slap his face and give the best actor trophy to Ebert. He is quite young among the actors. Up to now, Ebert has set several Oscar records in a row with two statuettes, but the Golden Globe Awards have been questioned because of the selection criteria.

In short, the Golden Globes are wronged.Although it has always insisted that it is an independent, open, and rigorous award, and has even taken various actions to get rid of the status of the so-called "Oscar weathervane" since the new century, everything is in vain. If the gap is too large, the media will question whether the non-professionals of the Hollywood Reporter Association have created an unknown shady scene during the selection process.

In other words, the Golden Globes are not only the "Oscar weather vane", but if this weather vane is not qualified enough, it may be questioned by many parties.

What's more aggrieved is that no matter how wronged the Golden Globe Organizing Committee is, they still have to give Ebert a nomination.

Just like this time, Ebert starred in the Spike Jonze film "Her," earning yet another nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" is also on the shortlist for Best Picture in a Comedy. Like Ebert, Leonardo is also nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy. They will be nominated with Christian Bale, Oscar Issa Jack and Bruce Dunn compete for the best actor trophy in the comedy category.In fact, this time Ebert's momentum is not so strong. In the comedy department, Leonardo leads the nominations with an absolute advantage. Christian Bale also gained a lot by virtue of his performance in "American Hustle". praise.

It is worth mentioning that at this year's Golden Globes, Ebert met Bradley Cooper, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in "American Hustle".

It can be said that his career has officially taken off.

"Congratulations, Bradley, long time no see."

Bradley thumped Ebert with a smile: "Congratulations to you too, are you interested in adding another Golden Globe trophy to your showroom?"

"I hope very much, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to realize this wish." Ebert said helplessly, "I'm glad to see that your persistence has made you successful."

Bradley nodded: "Actually, I'm glad I didn't give up. This is probably the most correct decision I've ever made."

"Hey, Bradley—" A female voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, and Bradley turned around: "Jennifer..."

The female voice quickly raised her voice and screamed excitedly: "Wow, Albert, Albert Dawson!"

Ebert blinked and looked at the young actress who was too young among the stars, last year's Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence.

Lawrence, who won the best actress at the age of 23, undoubtedly set a new record in the history of Oscars. She is the first Oscar winner born in the 90s. Before her, the youngest Oscar winner was Natalie Portman, but Compared with her, Natalie is already considered a very old senior.

The actress was a full 10 years younger than Ebert.She entered the public eye for the first time because of the "Winter's Bone", which made her nominated for the first Oscar actress. Relying on her superb acting skills and carefree character, this too young actress successfully won an Oscar The judges loved it, and then successfully won the Oscar for Best Actress with "The Silver Lining Behind the Dark Clouds".In terms of business, the actress's achievements are not inferior. "The Hunger Games", which she carried at the box office, performed well. Not only did it create an excellent box office record, but it also made Hollywood see the possibility of an actress as the main force of a commercial blockbuster. sex.

It can be said that Jennifer Lawrence is the most watched rising star in Hollywood after Ebert.

"Nice to meet you." Ebert smiled at her and held out his hand.

Jennifer Lawrence held his hand and shook it vigorously: "I'm a fan of your movie, I've seen all the movies you starred in, it's really great!"

"You too, this year's "American Hustle" is still extraordinary, great."

Jennifer Lawrence grinned happily.The image she usually shows in front of the media is the same. She is indeed a female star who loves to laugh, make trouble and act informally. It is also very pleasant to get along with actors like her. After a while, they exchanged contact information and promised the future opportunity to work together.

"It's really too young." Leonardo came out of nowhere and said jealously.

"Yeah, Leo, you can be her father when you are older."

Leonardo rolled his eyes at him: "This little Lawrence girl should really come and see what the well-dressed idol she admires is saying. But I admit that I do feel a little jealous of her, I feel old when I see her. She is God's favorite, she has got everything everyone wants at a young age, Oscars, box office records, audience's love... The academy is really partial to her, I I don’t even know when the next post-90s actress will appear.”

Ebert raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you complaining about the academy? I advise you not to, maybe this year Jennifer Lawrence will give you the award!"

"If she really gives me an award, I don't even want to be her father, she can be my mother."

"Leo...how about your integrity?"

"Has been eaten by a bastard named Albert Dawson."

Leonardo scratched his hair, and the nature of gossip broke out: "But I think the most envious of her are those female stars. Cate Blanchett, Amy Adams and the like, they are all born in the 60s After the 70s, Kate is a little older than me, and Amy is the same age as me. They are still tearing up their heads for their first actress trophy. Walked ahead of them. You know, the number one thing a woman cares about is age."

"Actually, men also care." Ebert added, "I'm not jealous of her at all, because I'm also young."

"I'm jealous, I'm jealous of you, an annoying little bastard." Leonardo gave him a hard look, "You are very good at adding salt to other people's wounds."

"Leo, you've worked with Cate Blanchett and Amy Adams, why can you gossip about them without shame?"

"Kate worked with me I know, Amy Adams worked with me too, when did that happen?"

"How to Get Away with the Law of Justice."

"I forgot. Wow, she actually played a role in that movie? It should be a side role with no role. From a side role to a Golden Globe nominee, it has a good history of struggle."

While the two were chatting, the awards ceremony was finally about to begin.Ebert and the "Her" crew were sitting at a table, and the "Wolf of Wall Street" crew was just opposite them. As soon as Ebert looked up, Martin Scorsese raised his glass to him with a smile.

Ebert smiled back, too.

In fact, he took over "Her" because of the recommendation of Martin Scorsese. Spike Jones participated in "The Wolf of Wall Street", and the script of "Her" was very good, and Ebert took it smoothly. things in order.

In addition to Ebert as the leading actor in "Her", Scarlett Johansson dubbed the system sound in the film, and Amy Adams, Rooney Mara and Olivia Wilde all participated in the performance, In terms of the popularity of the participating actors, this movie can be regarded as star-studded.But this time, except for Ebert, who was nominated for an actor award, no other actors were nominated. Therefore, Amy Adams sat with the "American Hustle" crew.

Ebert suddenly thought of a question inexplicably. He found that there are really many actresses who have worked with him and Leonardo. In addition to Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett and Ai M. Adams is on the list.

Although he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy this time, Ebert did not hope to win a trophy—of course, he did not have two statuettes in the showcase. He doesn't particularly care about the attitude of the Golden Globe Awards. If it doesn't work, he can go to the Screen Actors Guild Awards to earn points, or go to Europe to win the favor of a certain heavyweight award.

His circle of activities is mainly in North America. However, relying on the global popularity accumulated by the two statuettes and the Batman trilogy, Ebert is also well-known in the European film circle, especially in the UK. The University's School of Acting also used him as a model to teach acting classes.

In fact, not long ago, the Berlin Film Festival in Europe invited Ebert to be a member of the next jury. Although the awards for the films he starred in were mainly North American awards, he had been shortlisted for the top three in Europe quite a few times. In addition, his acting skills have been recognized all over the world. European film festivals have generally faced survival difficulties in recent years, and they have been forced into a precarious situation by the invasion of Hollywood. It is also the next step.

After all, whether it is Cannes, Berlin or Venice, they all think that they are the same awards as the Oscars. They don't want to see themselves succumbing to Hollywood, but a reality they don't want to see still happened. The three major movies The influence of festivals is getting lower and lower, and the films that won the Palme d'Or, Golden Bear and Golden Lion do not have much international reputation. On the contrary, it is the Oscars. Winning the best picture means becoming famous overnight. Even those who won the best foreign language film Even when a film travels back to its home country, it can immediately gain extraordinary attention.

This is the tragedy of cultural invasion.

Culture and economy can be described as a pair of twin brothers. The strength of the United States in the international arena has made American films have the same status. Scripts, special effects, soundtracks, editing... The world's best front and backstage talents have flocked to Hollywood. Everyone wants attention on the most competitive stage, and everyone is eager to be famous, because success in Hollywood can also lead to the same success in their home country.

This is the so-called Matthew effect.

Ebert is still considering whether to go to Berlin. After all, although his performance has won a lot of recognition, his relationship with Europe is not deep after all, and if there are a bunch of judges in their 70s and [-]s on the judging table, only he A relatively young guy sitting there, well, Ebert still thinks that scene might be more eye-catching.

While thinking about it, the lights on the stage suddenly turned on.

Amidst the lively music, the hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler walked onto the stage hand in hand, and the Golden Globe Gala officially kicked off.
