[US Entertainment] Actor

In the film industry, the importance of the director is self-evident.In fact, when an actor has achieved enough success in his career and reaches a certain age, he will definitely consider transformation. In addition to choosing roles more cautiously and rationally, he will also try to participate in film production as a producer or director.

But I have to say that a professional producer is more like a senior manager working for a film company. Once the investment of two or three films fails in a row, the producer will face the risk of being fired, and the star will join the producer industry , more out of the nature of playing tickets, it is just a means for film companies to reduce investment risks. Stars who succeed in the movie will get more profits, and stars who fail in the movie will face the risk of reduced income.

There are only a handful of successful examples of a star turning to a producer. Brad Pitt can be regarded as one of them. It is another industry monopolized by predators. The Weinstein Brothers, Jerry Bruckheimer and others have flourished and have extraordinary influence in the entire film market. Stars can uniquely discover a movie with potential. Or being able to not fall behind in the competition with the predators is a very difficult thing in itself.

In comparison, there are slightly more successful examples of changing careers as directors.Clint Eastwood, Ron Howard, Ben Affleck, George Clooney... But each of these star-studded examples does not mean that all stars can succeed in the director's profession, it still has to be done. Looking at the star's personal qualities and director skills, the audience will indeed enter the movie theater because they are curious about what kind of work the star director has produced, but if the quality of the movie is too far from their imagination, no matter how famous their star is. , the audience probably won't buy it.

Leonardo raised his eyebrows: "I don't know, you have such an idea."

Ebert glanced at him: "Can't I have some career pursuits?"

"Of course." Leonardo touched his nose, "I just think that with your enthusiasm for acting, you should be an actor for the rest of your life."

"I never gave up on this idea, but being a director is also making a movie, but I don't personally participate in it. And I think being an actor is actually very simple, as long as you study the script thoroughly and shoot according to the director's requirements, that's enough. And as a director..." Ebert frowned, and said in a deep voice, "At least I can see the cooperation between the actors more clearly, which is a more comprehensive and intuitive feeling."

"Well, in fact, I also had the idea of ​​being a director." Leonardo lowered his voice and leaned into Ebert's ear and said, "When I was very young, I was scolded and cried by the director. At that time, I also thought about being a director, so that I could make others cry."

Ebert laughed "haha": "What a naive idea, but I think you can fully realize your wish now, why don't you try? At that time... James Cameron?"

It's no wonder Ebert guessed so. As one of the most famous directors in Hollywood, James Cameron has created box office miracles one after another in film history, but his temper is as big as his fame. He doesn't care about the fame of the actor, as long as the pictures and lines don't meet his requirements, he will unceremoniously yell at him.

Leonardo nodded: "Well, it's him, but I came back for revenge. At that time, a crew lived together in a hotel, and I threw a lot of broken trucks at the door of his room while he was sleeping at night. Model."

Everyone in Hollywood knows that James Cameron was a truck driver before deciding to become a director.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like for Cameron, who was scolded as a "tyrant" by the crew, to drive a truck. Thinking about it, I'm still looking forward to it!

However, from the "Terminator" series in the 80s to the present, the works directed by James Cameron, whether it is "True Lies", "Titanic" or later "Avatar", although the cost of burning money made the film company heartache, But the huge profits also made investors flock to this eccentric director.

Ebert smiled and said, "Did he find out later that it was you?"

"Of course not. In fact, James was good enough to me. At that time, 20th Century Fox wanted Matthew McConaughey to play Jack Dawson, but James insisted on choosing me." Leonardo shrugged, "Facts have proved that James' choice is right. Although Matthew McConaughey is very popular with women, he is far worse than me in appearance. If he plays Jack, he looks more like a fisherman. Playboy, not a soulful, persistent poor painter, no, he was a playboy."

"You are very lucky."

"Indeed." Leonardo suddenly grabbed Ebert's finger, "It's not just about career."

"Well, if you really have the idea of ​​becoming a director, don't forget to be the first to ask me to be your male lead." Leonardo's fingers gently rubbed Ebert's arm, and after a while Suddenly he said in surprise, "Ebert, why do I think you've lost weight again?"

Hearing this, Ebert reached out and touched his cheek and neck lightly: "It seems to be really thin."

He reached out to touch Leonardo's arm again, rubbing it lightly again and again: "Why are you fat?"

He gently pushed Leonardo back, and Leonardo lay down on the sofa. Ebert simply pressed his whole body on it, and said threateningly, "Say, why are you getting fat?"

While talking, he also opened up Leonardo's thick sweater, and rolled his fingers on his somewhat round belly: "He has gained so much weight! Why? The role of Billy is clearly obvious when photographed. It's very hard work, logically speaking, you should lose weight..."

After a while, Ebert let go of his fingers. Of course, he didn't forget to pinch Leonardo's soft skin before letting go: "It suddenly occurred to me that the snacks in my cabinet were rejected by someone The guy with the face stole it? I always thought it was stolen by Lynn, but I obviously hid some snacks very well, and said, did you do it, and how much did you eat?"

Leonardo showed a silly smile, neither admitting nor denying.Ebert narrowed his eyes, moved his heart at will, pinched Leonardo's face fiercely with his fingers, then rolled up the light gray sweater on him, and used his fingers to measure the size of Leonardo's belly. Thickness: "It seems that you are really satisfied with eating, and your abdominal muscles are almost gone."

Leonardo allowed Ebert to do whatever he wanted on him, and after a while, he flattened his mouth and said with an aggrieved face: "Ebert, you hurt me so much."

Ebert snorted softly: "I not only want to suppress you, I also want to beat you."

Of course it wasn’t a real fight, Ebert just stretched out his fingers and pinched Leonardo’s soft flesh lightly, pinched it again, and pinched it again, until the white belly turned red and he was still a little bit Unsatisfied... Ebert felt that something was wrong when he pinched it. The low-necked sweater with fine stitches had been lifted to the top at some point and blocked Leonardo's neck. The white chest is so straightforwardly displayed in front of Ebert, the chest hair has been shaved clean, the white skin and the two clear spots on the skin make Ebert have the desire to tear him apart, the most terrifying Yes, Leonardo actually only wore a pair of low-slung jeans today, and Ebert could see the scenery inside as long as he poked his head lightly.

He patted Leonardo's butt lightly, and rubbed it lightly: "Look, I'm hitting you."

"Ebert, you are too perverted." Leonardo complained, "I just ate a little snack from you, but you are so over the top!"

Ebert gave him a sideways glance: "Is that a little snack? Dear Leo, gluttony is the root of all evil. You are at least 3 pounds fatter than before filming. It's terrible!"

"In addition, I need to correct a statement. I am not lecherous. I just think that some disobedient guys need to be punished."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leonardo felt a chill all over his body.He belatedly realized that his pair of low-slung jeans had been separated from his thighs at some point and had been thrown under the sofa. Although the sweater was still tightly attached to his skin, it could only protect the area around his neck. The skin only provided the heat source. In the next second, a body with a familiar smell came up, and Leonardo heard that guy whispering in his ear: "Next time I will wear it like this, but only for me to see it. Enough."

Leonardo gave him a blank look, and muttered: "I didn't go out at all today, and I only have a pair of low-rise jeans."

Ebert came up and kissed his face: "Next time I buy a few more, I'll pay for it."

"Don't think that if your salary is a little higher this time, you are really richer than me." Leonardo didn't know that the danger was approaching, and said, "At least for now, I'm still supporting you."

"Okay, okay, you are the one who is taking care of me." Ebert's hand slowly reached out to a hidden part that outsiders could not see, "So, let me who is being raised to serve you well..."

The stubborn Leonardo wanted to say something more, but in the next second, all his words were blocked by Ebert's mouth, and his body, movements, thoughts and soul were completely out of control in the next second. Hugging Ebert tightly, his eyes were closed tightly, but he was panting violently. Even though his reason reminded him to be sober, when that moment came, he even felt that he had lost himself.

Don't buy low waist pants next time...

After discovering that Ebert's "punishment" and "service" were many times more intense than last time and last time, the only thing left in Leonardo's mind was this. He was already in his 30s, and After all, the brain waves of young people in their 20s are not of the same frequency.

Of course, Leonardo couldn't help but think, isn't it just a pair of low-waisted pants, why is Ebert so excited?
