[US Entertainment] Actor

After a short prologue, Ebert teamed up with the "Saturday Night Live" crew to deliver a brief performance.

He was dressed in the same outfit as the little blacksmith in "Pirates of the Caribbean", holding a transparent plastic short sword in his hand. The magic is that as long as Ebert raises the sword upwards, the sword will emit seven-color flashes, accompanied by " The rhythm of the music of "Puff the Magic Dragon" flickered on the stage.

A regular cast member of the show walked up to Ebert in a white gauze dress and a white top hat. There was no doubt that the actress played Elizabeth Swan in the movie.

The content of the two performances was very simple. The weather was too hot, and Swan hoped to go swimming in the river, but Will was an extremely hydrophobic patient, so he decided to just watch Swan on the shore.Suddenly, a big ship named "Titanic" crashed into the rocks at the bottom of the river, and Swann was sucked into the water. She wanted to call Will to save her, but by a coincidence, she was killed by a poor man named Jack Dawson. Rescued by the painter, the two wrote a passionate love song "You Jump I Jump" together.Will finally overcomes his hydrophobia, but he can no longer win back Elizabeth Swan's love, and finally, he decides to be with Jack Sparrow.

When seeing this script, Ebert's mood was a little broken.However, he has participated in "Saturday Night Live" quite a few times, and he is also used to the endless routines of this show. In any case, as long as he can make the audience laugh, his task is considered complete.

"You hypocritical liar, 200 pounds, how is it possible? According to the buoyancy formula and the force-bearing area of ​​the wooden board, if I have 200 pounds, the wooden board must not be able to bear me!" Swan frowned, staring at Ebert, "Dear Jack, tell me how much I really weigh!"

"110 pounds, you're still a little too thin," the actor playing Jack Dawson replied softly.

Elizabeth Swan stood up in satisfaction, her legs made a rumbling sound on the wooden floor, and outside the camera, a staff member silently held up a sign-"XX brand floor, it can't be broken, it can't be broken, it can't be broken, Bear more than 300 pounds, you deserve it."

"Oh, Jack, Jack Sparrow, why me?"

The actor wearing a strange headdress and smoky makeup stared at Ebert affectionately: "Why do you think the 'Titanic' hit the rocks? I did it. I let Davy Jones' octopus tentacles Hit that ship from the North Pole to England, because I want you to know that woman is not suitable for you at all. As for why I chose you, probably because I am the most basic pirate captain in history? Ordinary love mode is not suitable for me."

"But I have a deep fear of water, and you are the captain who soars recklessly in the sea. We are destined not to be together."

"Oh, Will!"

"Oh, Jack!"

At the end of the scene, the audience at the scene gave warm applause.Ebert stared at his figure for a while, then laughed silently.Although his costume looks similar to that of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew, as long as the audience is a little more careful, they can see that his clothes seem to be made of specially treated newspaper, with a small letter printed on the shoulder. When he raised the colorful sword, the yellow duck would roll off his shoulder and land in his pocket.

In short, Ebert's performance is still very powerful. The image he shows in this short play is completely opposite to his usual image, and the audience finds it novel and interesting.

Searches for Ebert and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" jumped 20 percent after the episode of "Saturday Night Live," overshadowing "Superman Returns" and "The Da Vinci Code." "The limelight of films such as "Summer" and other films suddenly promoted the film to the number one most watched film in the summer file.

"What's the matter with the yellow duck, special effects?" Although Leonardo is far away in South Africa, it is not a trouble for him to finish watching an episode of "Saturday Night Live", "Kate must have seen this episode." You will cry, you are her good friend, yet you laugh at her weight like this."

"Kate won't mind." Ebert laughed "hehe", "Didn't you think Kate was a bit fat when you collaborated on Titanic?"

"I don't think so. On the contrary, I think your look the day before yesterday is really indescribable. Fortunately, the contract between Armani and you will expire for a long time, otherwise its designer will feel very regretful. In addition, about your dislike of Kate's fat , I’ll pass it on to Kate verbatim, as your retaliation for making fun of me for being fat.”

"It's just a show, Leo, you don't really want to tell Kate, do you?"

"Hmm, what do you think?"

"I guess not, because you have always been towards me."

"It depends on you. Remember the last time you said before you left? If you consider taking those words back, I will also consider not repeating these sad words to Kate."

"Are you threatening me?"

"If you think so."

"Well, whatever you want. But I also feel sad for Kate, she must think you are all about defending her, who knows you just use this as a bargaining chip to threaten me, poor Kate, thanks to the fact that she keeps telling the world Leonardo Her best friend."

"Oh, Ebert, it's just a show, why take it so seriously?"

"Dear Leo, swear to God, you got it right first."

Leonardo sighed: "Having a boyfriend who is too serious is really troublesome. Ebert, let me tell you something, the filming of "Blood Diamond" is almost over."

"Much faster than I thought."

"It's been more than 4 months. I've been in the crew and I'm about to collapse. If you see me now, you will definitely find that I look several years older than a year ago. Filming really wastes my youth."

"Old men in their 30s have lost their youth."

"Ebert, has anyone ever told you that you really deserve a beating?"

Ebert raised his eyebrows: "Lynn did tell me many times, but unfortunately, I am responsible for paying his salary, no one dares to say such things to the boss, my tolerance made me forgive him. But you, dear Leo, you are neither my employee, nor can I create wealth for me, so I can only tie you up when you want to beat me. Remember, I said, tied play. "

"Ebert, you little pervert."

"As long as we cooperate happily in bed, I don't mind if you call me crazy 100 times."

The conversation between the two finally ended with Leonardo being blushed.After confirming that Leonardo will return to Los Angeles in the near future, Ebert's mood immediately improved a lot.He recorded Leonardo's return date in the diary, and every page he turned was a day, so time seemed to pass faster.

On June 6th, at Disney Pirates Park, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" was held as scheduled. On July 24th, the film landed on a large scale in 7 theaters across the United States. The next day, all the creators heard A pretty staggering box office figure.

Premiere day! $5550 million at the box office!

The previous film that set a single-day box office record was "Star Wars Episode 2: Revenge of the Sith", which broke the world record for a single-day box office with a box office of 5001 million US dollars on the day of its premiere, but now, this record belongs to " Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest!

Neither "Superman Returns" nor "The Devil Wears Prada" had any impact on the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," which was released in two weeks, and the film easily smashed many boxes. record.

It was released for three days, with a total box office of 1 million US dollars!

The three-day box office over the weekend broke the previous box office record of US$1.15 million set by "Spider-Man", and its release in 4133 theaters created an average weekend income of US$31944 for a single theater, which also broke the record.

The North American media all exclaimed: "The summer box office giant is here! Who can stop "Dead Souls"?"

At least in its first week of release, there hasn't been a single film that can snipe Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.The box office of "Superman Returns", which Warner has high hopes for, was only more than 5200 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend of its release. From the second week to today, the total box office has exceeded 1 million U.S. dollars, reaching 1 million U.S. dollars, but the three days of the weekend did not perform well. As expected, it only won a box office score of 4167 million US dollars, ranking second in the weekend box office list this week.

The third and fourth places are "The Devil Wears Prada" starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep and "Life Is Remote" starring Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. "Device", "Cars", "Unreachable Lovers" and "Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift" are also in the top ten at the weekend box office this week, but the box office results are between several million US dollars and 1000 million US dollars. In between, it's not particularly good.

This year's summer file competition has been relatively quiet.

Dan Brown's novel adaptation, starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou, and director Ron Howard's "The Da Vinci Code" has always had high expectations, but since the new millennium, two famous Hollywood "Tom" The status of the box office elixir seems to be useless. The box office of "The Da Vinci Code" has only exceeded 2 million since its release. The ending is probably no different from another Tom's "War of the Worlds".

Compared with "Finding Nemo" and "Toy Story", "Cars" is not outstanding. The cumulative box office is only more than 2 million US dollars so far, and the hope of 3 million is slim.

For a lukewarm summer market and studios, Disney's potential big money from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest may make them jealous, but on another level, they're also wildly hoping for a big deal. The hot "Dead Man's Chest" can stir up the stagnant water in the summer file and make the calm market hot, so that other films released later will naturally benefit from it.

It may be an exaggeration to say this, but looking at all the movies released throughout the summer, only "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" has this ability.
