[US Entertainment] Actor

"Give."

Leonardo raised his head, took the chewing gum that Ebert handed over, and chewed it randomly twice.

Ebert patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you."

Leonardo shook his head, chewing gum at a faster pace, his eyes looked around blankly, and it took a long, long time before he calmed down: "Ebert, I think I understand how you feel gone."

Ebert smiled: "Yes, playing with Jack is really stressful."

Leonardo shrugged his shoulders: "I'm suddenly worried about my best actor nomination. I didn't get a nomination for playing against Daniel Day Lewis, because compared to him, my acting skills are as dry as a bad eggplant , I have tried my best to suppress him in this scene with Jack, but I still seem to have lost."

"Because that's Jack Nicholson after all." Without waiting for Ebert to respond, Leonardo picked up his water glass and drank it down.

After a break of about 10 minutes, the next scene was still dominated by the confrontation between Leonardo and Jack Nicholson.Ebert will be much more relaxed. Most of his scenes are on the phone, telling Castro the private information of the police and some personal problems. These scenes do not really test acting skills, as long as Ebert can pass Small actions that show Colin's emotions will pass the test.

The part that really tests Ebert's acting skills is still in the second half.

For Leonardo, the scenes during this period were indeed a bit difficult.

But Leonardo still showed everyone his resilience as an actor. At the beginning, he often fell behind in the battle with Jack Nicholson, but as the plot progresses further, whether it is with Jack Nicholson Dawson or Ray Winstone, who played the Frenchman, played against each other, and Leonardo showed his ability to perform.

In the previous life, "The Departed" starred Leonardo and Matt Damon, the latter is the actor of the "Bourne" series, who was awarded the "Good Will Hunting" script co-written with his friend Ben Affleck. Oscar for best original screenplay and Oscar for best actor nominations, but in this "The Departed", Matt Damon has not received any nominations, neither in the Golden Globes nor in the Oscars.

Leonardo was nominated for both an Oscar and a Golden Globe.

This also proves his progress in acting.

In fact, for an actor like him who made his name in commercial films, he can maintain his success even if he doesn't work hard, but Leonardo has persisted, from "Gangs of New York" to "The Aviator". " was nominated for Best Actor for the first time, and then it was nominated for the second time for "The Departed", and slowly, the third and fourth times will come.

In the end, he became an Oscar winner.

In his resume, finally there is not only one "Titanic", but also a glittering Oscar trophy, he surpassed Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George W. Clooney and others have become a model of actors who have both business and art.

But the process of transformation is often painful.

Ebert was the one who struggled a few days ago, and Leonardo was the one who struggled the most these days.

After finishing work in the afternoon, Leonardo simply dragged Ebert into the room to study the script.

"You were worried about me before, but now I can't help but start worrying about you." Ebert smiled. "I think your performance is good enough, but it looks a little miserable."

"Do you know a word?" Leonardo raised his eyebrows and said to Ebert with a smile, "If you want to be the protagonist, you must never be handsome. If you have never been beaten once, then you must not be the protagonist."

"What a cruel answer." Ebert shrugged, thinking of the beatings he received when filming "The Age of Pentium" and "Batman Begins", he laughed softly.

There is no way, the protagonists of all movies are set in this way. If there are all rich men driving supercars and countless girls, then the movie may lose all audiences below the middle class in the United States. Of course, "Iron Man" is an outlier.

As it was getting dark, Leonardo drew the curtains and brought out two cups of freshly brewed coffee: "I know you don't like coffee, these two cups are for myself."

Ebert showed a helpless smile: "Okay, okay, I became your voluntary servant. Don't you think about giving me something in return?"

Leonardo rolled his eyes: "I don't think you need to repay, because compared to my misery, you are already happy enough.

"That can't be done." Ebert stepped forward silently, took Leonardo's hand before he could react, pressed him on the sofa, and kissed him hard, "Why don't you take advantage of the time now?" Haven't started working yet, make up a little interest?"

Leonardo rolled his eyes at him: "Ebert, you are really cool."

"No, the premise of sex is people who covet beauty more than themselves."

After studying this sentence for a long time, Leonardo finally found out that Ebert was emphasizing that he was not as handsome as him.Although he was used to Ebert's venomous tongue from time to time, he still had the urge to hit him when he heard these words.

After laughing and joking for a while, the two still didn't dare to go too far in other people's territory, and devoted their energy to the study of the script.

At present, Ebert and Leonardo do not have any rivalry, and the intuitive feeling of the performance is difficult for others to understand, so Ebert just tried his best to analyze the role of Billy from Leonardo's perspective, and finally The two had a dispute, and neither could convince the other, so they simply dug up the movie "Infernal Affairs" shot in Hong Kong and studied it again.

Turning off the TV, Leonardo blinked: "The Chinese are indeed more reserved. This Billy and my Billy are completely different interpretations."

"Because William's script has been modified a lot." Ebert said, "This movie is a very good movie script in Hong Kong in recent years, otherwise Martin would not remake it. In that movie, the role of Billy is A loyal undercover agent, but he's not as violent and direct as your Billy. And Colin in that movie is a guy who is completely possessed by desire, he wants to get rid of the gangster color and get real power and light, he doesn't Loyal to Castro like Colin I played."

"cultural difference."

Re-watching "Infernal Affairs" can indeed give Ebert and Leonardo more inspiration. The two wrote and drew in their notebooks for a long time before Ebert returned to his room to rest.

As soon as he got out of the shower, the phone rang, and as soon as he connected, the broker's familiar growling voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dear Ebert, did you go shopping with Leonardo?"

Ebert changed his posture: "Oh, the paparazzi's reaction is really fast now."

"Come on, the guy who always makes trouble for me." Lynn sighed, "Fortunately, no one in the world knows about your relationship with Leonardo except me, but seriously, if you switch genders, you and Leonardo Leonardo is really like a sweet couple."

"You know what the reporters say?"

"Suspect we're gay?"

Lynn's voice was a little helpless: "Not this time."

"What would that be?" If the reporter kept emphasizing that Ebert and Leonardo were gay, Ebert wouldn't be curious, but the reporters stopped doubting it, and Ebert couldn't help wondering what happened to those uncrowned kings. What happened.

"They took a clear photo of you and Leonardo shopping for clothes." Ebert clearly heard that the agent's tone seemed a little dry, so he pricked up his ears and pressed his phone tightly, so as not to miss Lin Lin. En's every word, "They found out that you are actually swiping your card when buying clothes."

"According to those reporters' theories, even if the two of you are gay, the flirtatious Leonardo will only be, ahem, the strong one. After all, they have only seen Leonardo shopping for girls before, But this time it was you who spent the money..."

Ebert grasped the point keenly: "So they think I can't be the one above? Which media report did you read?"

The manager gave a name and hung up the phone. Ebert took out his phone and searched the Internet for the latest report of that newspaper.

Mr. Manager is indeed a perfect example of being diligent and responsible and unwilling to hurt the artist's heart. Before stating that report, he deliberately beautified the report on Ebert. The report not only described Ebert and Leonard in detail Buying more clothes, and emphasizing that Ebert is a little white face with "a tender face", that is to say, Ebert should be the one below.

According to the most basic philosophy of dating that the one who takes advantage buys things for the one who does not take advantage, even if he buys something, Leonardo should buy it for Ebert. Now the fact is the opposite, which shows that they are definitely not gay.

The most important thing is that Leonardo, who looks like a vagabond, can't be the one who is inferior.

For the first time, Ebert knew that the benefits of having a handsome face were so diverse.

The media's brains and integrity have once again refreshed Ebert's three views.

The next time they take the initiative to report on the color of Bush's underwear, Ebert will not be surprised. As long as there are these lovely media, the Hugo Awards and Nebula Awards will never fall into the hands of others.

After all, gossip is always an inexhaustible driving force for social progress.

Before going to bed, Ebert received a message from Leonardo.

"See that report?"

"Ah."

"The media really has a discerning eye."

"It's a pity that fantasies are always fantasies and will never become reality." Ebert pressed his phone repeatedly, "Leo, why don't we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"Let's see who gets the Oscar first. If I get the Oscar first, you won't always think about counterattacking in the future, okay?"

"This matter cannot be decided by you." Leonardo did not respond positively to Ebert, "But I am thinking, since everyone thinks that I should be the one above, why can't we try it? "

"Because the power gap is too big, Leo, don't think about it. We haven't done it for a long time. If you provoke me again, I'm worried that I won't be able to bear it."
