[US Entertainment] Actress

"Maybe you're right." Leonardo DiCaprio thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "When I really stood at the top of the industry, I found that my every move was covered by the flashlights of the media." Keeping an eye on it. Before I did Titanic, I was free to do things that fit my age, and even if I made a mistake, everyone's tone was 'DiCaprio is still young', so Sometimes I can make mistakes.”

"But now, they're going to say, oh, it's enough for DiCaprio to eat with his hue, and it turns out that he doesn't have any acting skills at all. He can't do anything but a good-looking blond guy."

Leonardo loosened his hand holding the coffee cup slightly: "I seem to have talked too much."

Noy shook his head: "What are you thinking about so much! After the release of "Legally Blonde", the media praised me like a wave. Maybe it is not as sensational as "Titanic", but the essence of the two is the same .The praise doesn't do me any good. Legally Blonde is just one of my movies. It's just a movie."

"The effect of today's premiere is not bad. Tomorrow morning, someone will praise it, and someone will criticize it, but whether it is praise or criticism, it is just a movie in my acting career. Even if it is the worst movie in the United States this year Movies, I still have to live my life, I can't give up my career because of it."

Leonardo DiCaprio gave a bitter smile: "Noye, you're trying to persuade me."

"As a friend, I'm just worried about you." Noye corrected Leonardo's point of view, "If you make a movie just for the praise of the film critics, or to get some awards you covet, then you will never You can't get everything you want."

Leonardo's wry smile became wider: "It's really sharp."

"Because you are my friend, or you are the idol of my teenage years, isn't it the responsibility of every fan to protect the idol from trouble?" Noy patted Leonardo's shoulder vigorously, "Dude, come on Well, I like you!"

"Damn Noy." Leonardo muttered in a low voice, but the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly enlarged where Noy couldn't notice, and finally outlined a perfect arc.

Noy returned to the hotel to rest after chatting with Leonardo DiCaprio until 1 o'clock in the middle of the night.The next morning, as Noye expected, she overslept again and suffered from a splitting headache.

After drinking a large glass of warm water, he went downstairs to order a breakfast and asked the waiter to bring the latest issue of the newspaper, before Nuoyi slowly returned to the room to tidy himself up.There is still half a month before Christmas, but the cold wind has quietly descended on Los Angeles half a month ago, and when the windows are opened, a chill hits.

Noye put on a maroon overcoat.After the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew's cold, she tried to protect herself from getting sick outside of filming, even if it was inevitable.

In the eyes of the audience, many actors are weak.When they enjoy turkey and wine in a warm home, the actors have to shiver in the cold with bare thighs, or wear thin skirts that make people shiver at a glance-oh, the actors are so pitiful a group of people.But in fact, the physical fitness of the actors is much higher than that of ordinary American audiences.

Actors need to strictly control their diet to stay in shape, which also keeps them away from high-calorie fried chicken and burgers; the high salary of actors allows them to pay for frequent physical examinations, and they even have family doctors to strictly monitor themselves Therefore, in front of the camera, they will always be radiant. Of course, those guys who indulge themselves in alcohol, drugs and desire are excluded. They shine like shooting stars for a moment, and then drown in the vast Among all living beings; the most important point is that filming is the job of actors. They may stay up all night, run desperately, or have fierce weapon fights. They need to complete difficult actions according to the needs of the plot. If they do not have a strong body , that would be tough work.

The various impressions of the actor in the eyes of the audience may be just the image tailored by the agency for the actor. Only those closest to her know what the actor's personality is like in private.

Noye read the day's paper while eating breakfast.Of course, her focus is on the media's evaluation of "Gangs of New York".Thanks to Hollywood's status as the center of the entertainment industry, the newsstand next to the hotel near the Chinese Theater sells 80% of the entertainment newspapers in the United States, so Noy easily gained the freshly released "Gangs of New York" film reviews.

Of course, she saw the evaluation of film critic A.O. Scott.She folded up this issue of The New York Times and stuffed it into her black bag, eating breakfast contentedly.

In addition to the professional film critic "New York Times", media such as "Variety Show", "New York Daily News" and "Los Angeles Times" all gave high praise to "Gangs of New York", praising it as "the best movie of 2002". Movie".However, "Entertainment Weekly", "National Enquirer" and other media believed that the film was out of balance and did not meet Martin Scorsese's usual standards.

To Noye's delight, Roger Ebert, a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, was invited to the film's premiere and wrote a review for the film.Roger Ebert can be said to be the most important member of the entire American film critic industry. His comments are widely concerned and even have an impact on the word-of-mouth of a film.The film critic described his way of reviewing films as "relative, not absolute", always giving films the ratings he sees fit between comparisons.The pungent and pertinent comments made this film critic a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and also made him the first film critic to leave a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Today, Roger Ebert's film criticism has attracted more attention from the audience.Audiences are used to relying on authority, and Luo Jie rarely makes mistakes, so his reviews have become the standard for audiences to choose whether to watch a certain movie.

Roger wrote in his column in the Chicago Sun-Times, "Overall, Martin Scorsese's film meets his usual standards, both in terms of character and setting. But as a This is a movie that tries to uncover the historical imprint. Its grand background and historical significance have surpassed the main characters in the second half of the movie. This is where the movie fails. In addition, Martin Scorsese's performance The method is more subtle, without the guidance of distinctive characters, it is difficult for the audience to dig into the core of the film."

"In terms of actors, Daniel Day-Lewis' steady performance is enough for him to win another Oscar. Leonardo DiCaprio has also improved a lot from a year ago. As for Noye Linton, she Jenny far exceeded my expectations. The actors did a great job, and if the timing was right enough, this would be a flawless film."

Roger Ebert gave Gangs of New York 3 and a half stars.

This is already an extremely mild evaluation.You know, Roger Ebert once gave "The Godfather 2" a 3-star rating, although he later admitted his mistake and classified "The Godfather 2" as a "great movie".Roger Ebert was never shy about his dislike for movies he hated, writing of the 1994 Rob Rehn comedy The Rookie's Bodyguard, "I hate this movie. Hate hate hate hate Hate hated this movie. Hated it. Hated all the smirking, stupid, blank, audience-insulting moments. The feeling of thinking anyone would like it is annoying. I hate him for fooling the audience because it believes it can Entertain the audience."

Half an hour after eating breakfast, Noy probably finished browsing all the comments on "Gangs of New York".After putting these newspapers away on the coffee table, Noy heaved a long sigh.

Regardless, at least Martin Scorsese won't have to worry about losing sleep at night.

No sooner had Noe put away the newspaper than Easter Martin, who had made an appointment with her, knocked on the door and came in.

After joining Unique, Martin is no longer the lowest-level agent in the UTA period.On the contrary, although Noy is the only general under him, given that Noy is very likely to become a first-line actress in Hollywood, and Martin is a veteran who joined Unique from the very beginning, his status in the brokerage company has increased. unique specially equips Martin with an assistant to assist him in his work, and will also refer to his opinions on important cooperation matters, which makes Martin's life more comfortable.

However, East Martin is not the kind of person who is complacent with a little achievement.He is an agent who started from the bottom. Unlike those agents who held several big-name brokerage contracts in their 30s, he was wallowing in the quagmire of failure until the age of 40. If he hadn't met Noy, his The failure may continue.Martin is not a person who is used to complaining about himself. He will not betray Noy because the outside world ridiculed him for his bad luck, or use Noy's identity as a manager to make money for himself. On the contrary, he constantly enriches himself, constantly Trying to become a broker that matches Noy, this is also the reason why the cooperation between the two can continue.

"East!"

"Noy!" Martin frowned and glanced coldly at the leftovers on the table, "You eat while reading the newspaper? It's not good for digestion."

After taking the child back, Martin finally felt like a father again. Noy ​​didn't even need to guess, this guy must have spoken to his daughter in the same way at home, look at that majestic tone!

Noy curled his lips: "Whispering uncle..."

Martin frowned: "A naive girl."

The artist and manager, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, sat down quietly to talk after arguing.Noye still has more than a month to film in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew, but this time is the time when the awards season is approaching. "Gangs of New York" has already signed up for Oscars, Golden Globes and other awards. As the leading actress It was a bit of a disappointment for Noy not to brush his face at this time.

"But the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is equally important, East, in order to get more opportunities in the future, I have to stay on the crew until the last moment. This is a virtuous cycle." Noy patted Mr. Agent on the shoulder, "As for the awards, although I am the heroine of the movie, I will only be placed in the supporting role category when the awards are selected. I already won a Golden Globe Award for supporting actress last year, and the chance of being awarded to me this year is very small. And the Oscar , although I think I performed well, but the old-fashioned and conservative Oscar is absolutely impossible to award the award to a vase role."

"Well, Noy, you always make sense." Martin scratched his hair in frustration, "But damn you always impress me!"

Noy shook his finger: "Dear Mr. Martin, I have always insisted on convincing people with reason."

In fact, although the chance of being favored by the awards is not great, Noy believes that it is no problem to get one or two nominations, so all matters such as red carpet dresses and jewelry need to be prepared in advance. 2002 was a special year. The United States' ambiguous attitude towards Iraq caused waves in the country. People in the entertainment industry paid great attention to this, followed by discussions on whether the major awards ceremonies should continue to be held.Democrats believe that if the United States really sends troops to Iraq, there is no need to hold entertainment awards that exaggerate peace.Opponents say that at a time when war is looming over America, there should be something genuinely enjoyable.

After all, these have nothing to do with Noy, she is on the sidelines like most actors.If the award ceremony is held, she will attend it, and if it is cancelled, she will not attend it.

The awards are just embellishment, and her main task now is to make a good movie.

After separating from Martin, Noy returned to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew to continue filming.Gore Verbinski welcomed her back.During the two days that Noye left, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom had already completed some two-person scenes, so after Noye returned, her pressure suddenly increased, and she had to deal with more scenes than before. Much more.

On December 12, the nominations for the 10th Golden Globe Awards were announced, and Noye was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Jenny in Gangs of New York.Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp and others from the crew all expressed their congratulations to Noy. On December 60, the New York Film Critics Association, known as the "Three Great Barometers of Film Critics", announced the nomination list, and Noy made another victory.

Among the many nominees, Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is considered to be the most competitive in "Chicago", followed by Diane Lane in "Derailed", but Noy's Her strength should not be underestimated either. She is considered by several media to be one of Catherine Zeta Jones' biggest competitors.The awards season has just begun, and no one can predict the direction of the award-winning films. It is still unknown who will win.

As far as Noye himself was concerned, it was great to be recognized for his role.But on the other hand, she couldn't help but began to lament the impermanence of the world.

Two years ago, she was still cooperating with Catherine Zeta Jones in "Drug Network". Zeta Jones fought.I have to say that Hollywood is really a magical place.
