[US Entertainment] Actor

In one scene, Leonardo was filming with trepidation like walking on thin ice, and almost lost his mind. When Martin Scorsese announced that the shooting was over, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a long breath, and felt relieved.

Sitting on the chair, Ebert handed him a clean towel: "This scene was well shot, Martin praised you."

Leonardo glanced at the table secretly, and the brand new, sharp scissors emitting a cold light had disappeared—although he knew in his heart that Ebert would never actually do it, but he had to say that his Threats do work.

Leonardo had never seen such a fresh threat in his lifetime!

Mark Wahlberg on the side blinked at Leonardo when he heard the words, and showed a smile that anyone could understand as long as he was a man: "Leo, you really have a lot of experience."

If it was a year ago, Leonardo would have accepted Wahlberg's compliment triumphantly and showed off some of his great achievements to him, but now, the threat of scissors is still in sight, Leonardo just wants to immediately To gag Wahlberg in case he says anything against him.

Leonardo was struggling, but Ebert laughed softly: "Mark, I have always wanted to ask you a question, why did you look so handsome at the beginning, but now you are so... hard to explain?"

Mark Wahlberg picked up the mirror and carefully looked at his own appearance for 3 minutes, and said discouragedly: "Maybe it's because I'm so handsome, I don't look like a foul-mouthed, cheap mouth that makes people think The policeman who beat him to death?"

Although the Dignham police officer played by Mark Wahlberg belongs to the side of justice, he finally completed the task of killing Colin, but his appearance is really a disaster-slightly long hair, From a distance, it looks like a girl with short hair in a youth school movie, but from a distance, it is not as good as from a distance. It is not a standard haircut. Ebert, who was a Chinese in his previous life, said that this is the standard configuration of the traitor in the movie of tearing devils.

Ugly.

If Martin had picked Ebert for the role of Dignum and given him such a look, he would have said no to Oscar, no matter how tempted he was.

Ugly to blind.

In general, during the filming of "The Departed", Leonardo was indeed much harder than Ebert. He had many action scenes, and many of the scenes required him to be in battle. Replace him in some very dangerous scenes.

After a scene was filmed, Ebert often had an extra task of applying ointment to Leonardo's bruised back and thighs.

"Hiss——" Leonardo lay on the bed with his back naked, wearing only a pair of underwear all over his body, "Take it lightly, hiss, I'm really worried that I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

"Just stick to it for a while longer." After applying the ointment and washing his hands, Ebert pinched Leonardo's shoulders for a while, "Action scenes are like this."

After resting for a while, he stretched out his hand to show Leonardo the wound on his arm: "This is from the filming of "Batman Begins", and it hasn't healed until today..."

Before he finished speaking, Leonardo pressed his arm and rubbed his wound gently with his fingers: "Thank you."

He lowered his head and pressed a kiss lightly on Ebert's arm: "One kiss should heal soon."

Albert's body froze suddenly.With his usual thick skin, after hearing such words, there was a burst of warmth in his heart.

Both Leonardo and Ebert are not very good at talking about love. Ebert is okay. After the two get together, he seems to get the skill of talking about love immediately. Every minute, Leonardo's face is red and his ears are red, so he can only let him do it. Well, Leonardo is actually a little more restrained. It's really... not easy to hear his words.

Ebert felt very happy again.

Because loving and being loved are both happy things.

He then lightly pressed Leonardo's back, and printed a kiss on the bruise: "Kiss, it will be better tomorrow."

It was an unusually quiet night. The two of them didn't do anything, and nothing charming happened. They just squeezed each other's shoulders and smirked twice, but there was warmth lingering all over their bodies.

The filming experience always follows certain rules. The boring process day after day always makes people feel that time passes very slowly, but when I really have time to look back on the past, I feel that time passes extremely quickly .

The same goes for The Departed.

In the blink of an eye, the crew had finished part of the filming in Boston, moved to New York and completed some scenes.Inadvertently, the time has passed to October of this year, and the vigorous awards season has kicked off again.

But this year's awards season has nothing to do with Ebert.

Although he was too busy to stop this year from beginning to end, he only officially released one film, and it was a purely commercial film.

Of course, the results weren't bad either.

Today, according to the box office statistics of movies that have been released in the North American market, the box office of "Batman Begins" ranks second this year, second only to "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith". The movie is also the only movie on the list with a box office of more than 3 million.

Whether it is Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" with Tom Cruise striving for the box office record, or "King Kong" directed by Peter Jackson, the position on the box office list falls behind "Batman: Man of the Dead". After Shadow Mystery, the box office was only in the early 2 million.

Of course, the battle for the Christmas season has not yet officially started. The "Harry Potter" series "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which Warner chooses the Christmas schedule every year, has not yet been released. "The Legend of Nia" is also targeting the Christmas schedule. It is still unknown whether "Batman Begins" can maintain its current advantage in the rankings after the release of these films.

But no matter what the final result is, it is already a very successful commercial blockbuster.

As such, it has become a very weighty part of Ebert's magnum opus.

Of course, even if the film has received some good reviews from the critics, if it wants to compete for important awards such as the Golden Globes and Oscars, the content and connotation of the film are still a bit inferior.

All in all, this may be the first year in which Ebert is absent from major award nominations since his starring role.

But after all, Oscar is not a Chinese cabbage that everyone can pick. Even legends such as Meryl Streep cannot guarantee that they will be nominated every year. If Ebert has a film for the Olympics this year and he is not nominated, he may be sad. For a while, but considering that "Batman Begins" is indeed not a film favored by awards, Ebert can only silently remind himself to try harder next time.

Leonardo also seems to have noticed Ebert's discomfort. During this time, he has not mentioned any words related to the awards season. Even if Ebert is present, it is impossible for the TV in his room to broadcast anything related to the awards season. program.

Ebert was particularly uncomfortable with this: "Come on, dear Leo, I'm not as vulnerable as you think. I'm not discouraged by not being nominated this year, Johnny also won for the role of Jack Sparrow." Having been nominated for an Oscar, doesn't he know that the award is impossible for him?"

"Besides, I am very confident in my performance, maybe I will have a surprise!"

Turned on the TV and tuned to the fixed entertainment channel. Ebert leaned on the sofa and watched the relevant reports of this year's awards season with gusto.

Leonardo has always been a person who knows how to live. Even if he was shooting a challenging movie like "The Departed", he still asked his assistant to prepare a lot of things that make life more comfortable. Big hotel room.

In comparison, Ebert is more perfunctory. His assistant Bruce is usually only responsible for his daily life and work tasks. Ebert rarely cares about items that involve personal enjoyment.

"That's because I don't want to make myself too tired. Filming is already a very tiring thing." Leonardo argued.After a while, he whispered: "You know, I really want to prove myself with an Oscar, but the interpretation of emotions and mental activities has always been my weakness, so I can only challenge the limit little by little, which can at least make me feel better." Make up for my deficiencies in detail."

Albert suddenly froze.

He slowly remembered that Leonardo's performances in recent years have been considered by film critics to be too hard, although from "Gangs of New York", "The Aviator" to the current "The Departed", his performance is better than that of a film. One, but it is really difficult for him to impress the hard-to-please Oscar judges with these alone.

However, Leonardo did not play some delicate and plain films showing marital crisis and family relationship as the film critics said. Maybe there is "Revolutionary Road", but that film besides making Kate · Winslet won a Golden Globe, Leonardo almost empty-handed.

On the contrary, Leonardo set his sights on those violent, grand and bloody movies, whether it is "Gangs of New York" in 01, "The Departed" now, or the future "Blood Diamond", " The Revenant, whose awards are won through brutal indulgence, foul language and shocking wounds.

Even in the previous life, some obscene media promoted "The Revenant" with such ugly words as "Leonardo was raped by a bear".

Thinking of this, Ebert immediately shut up.

In fact, he once thought about making up for his shortcomings through his experience in acting and the so-called analysis of "Leonardo's acting skills" by film critics in the past and present, so as to help Leonardo win the Oscar winner as soon as possible.

But after hearing his statement, Ebert suddenly discovered that imagination was just imagination.

Leonardo does not use too much force every time, he is just not good at playing introverted and deep characters. He can't retract and relax like Daniel Day Lewis to let the whole person fall into the emotions of the characters and move people with emotion. You can't play a character like Meryl Streep like a character, making people confused between reality and performance, and you can't create chilling effects through details and language like Anthony Hopkins, but Leonardo does have his own way of acting.

He was just trying step by step, impressing the judges in his own way, and reaping his best actor trophy.

It’s just that the path he took was a bit too difficult, but he never gave up, so Ebert should respect his performance instead of imagining to change him in the way he thinks is correct.

At least, in his previous life, Leonardo, who won his actor trophy at the age of 40, has never changed and succeeded.
