[US Entertainment] Actor

Before officially entering the group and reporting for duty, Ebert first confirmed the contract signed with the crew of "White Night Chase". According to the contract requirements, he joined the group between the end of October and the beginning of November, and he belonged to the first group. Actors, the filming location of the film is in Alaska and British Columbia, Canada, and Ebert only needs to report to the group before the appointed time.

After getting the script, Ebert fully understood how powerful the film's lineup is. Compared with such a lineup, it seems reasonable for Al Pacino to personally interview the actors.Director Christopher Nolan's future will not be mentioned for the time being. Now in 2001, in the powerful cast of "White Night Chase", he can even be regarded as a small character. After all, he only has "Follow" and "Memory" now. Supported by the two works of "Shards", it still belongs to the new director who is quite promising in Hollywood.

Starring three Oscar winners, the producer and producer include George Clooney, the eternal heartthrob of Hollywood. The director's works were shortlisted for Oscars, and he has also made a lot of achievements in the fields of politics and social welfare. There is also Steven Soderbergh, who was discovered as a director with "Sex, Lies and Videotape" in the late 80s. Two works shot last year , A "Drug Network" made him win the Oscar in one fell swoop, and a "Never Compromise" made Julia Roberts, the goddess of big mouth, successfully win the Oscar queen. It can be said that Steven Soderbergh is currently Hollywood Favorite director.

Ebert didn't know this before, but when he learned about all this, he really felt his luck. Regardless of whether the movie will be successful or not in the future, one thing he can be sure of is that this movie will definitely bring him happiness. Extraordinary attention, this kind of positive, movie-related attention, is what Ebert is desperately lacking now.

The flight to Alaska was booked two days in advance. Taking into account the local weather conditions, Ebert deliberately brought half a box of clothes there.

"When this shooting is over, I will come back and have a good chat with Mr. Lynn Hawke."

Mark smiled slightly: “he will always be waiting for you.”

Mark came here to pack things for Ebert. He was much more careful than Ebert, and he thought about everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation for Ebert.When he stuffed a stainless steel cup, a pair of cold-proof gloves, and a heating pad into Ebert's box, Ebert opened his mouth wide and was completely dumbfounded: "Mark, are you a robot cat?"

"Doraemon? That Japanese cat? I haven't seen that cartoon, it sounds very powerful." Mark said, stuffing all kinds of food into Ebert's box, "Don't think Everything I did was superfluous, Alaska sometimes makes you feel very hard, these foods are delicious, very suitable for long-term storage, you can never go wrong with bringing more.”

"Well, for the sake of your seeming experience."

Bradley was responsible for driving Ebert to the airport. The plane took off from Los Angeles and it took more than eight hours to reach the destination.Ebert boarded the plane with a backpack containing his wallet and a few books, as well as some jerky that Mark stuffed in.It is the off-season now, and there are very few passengers flying to Alaska, and because of the impact of the "8 incident", many Americans choose to drive or take the train when traveling, so all passengers boarded successfully until this flight, Ebert Only a few dozen people were seen.

There was someone next to Ebert's seat. He booked a seat by the window, and it was not easy to step over directly. He could only pat the shoulder of the man next to him to signal him to let him in.

The man turned his head, wearing black sunglasses and plugging in the earphones. Ebert only saw his golden-brown hair, fair skin, and slim figure. Before Ebert signaled, he was watching intently. Looking out the window, it seems that there is something attractive scenery outside the window.

But no, through the window of the plane, Ebert could only occasionally glimpse a few busy maintenance personnel and a few planes waiting on the tarmac. Other than that, it was a piece of rough land that couldn't see its original color. There are no beautiful views.

Ebert vaguely felt that his neighbor looked familiar, but all he could know were people he was in contact with and big-name Hollywood stars. If it was someone he knew, it was impossible not to say hello to him, big-name Hollywood stars?They're not flying economy class.

Ebert didn't think about it anymore, and his eyes didn't rest on the neighbor. This was disrespect for others, and Ebert always knew the principle of keeping a distance.

The 8-hour journey is really long, not to mention that after arriving at the airport, he has to drive to the shooting location, which is not a short distance.Not long after boarding the plane, Ebert put on a blindfold and closed his eyes to rest, so he didn't notice the curious look of the gentleman sitting next to him when he looked at him.

Ebert rested until the stewardesses were distributing the food. The sound of the carts moving made him suddenly wake up from his sleep, and he looked at the carts slowly approaching in the aisle with a blank expression.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was on a plane.Wiping the sweat off his brow, he ordered Coke and beef rice.

He just woke up and his consciousness is still a little fuzzy, and he urgently needs the refreshing bubbles of Coke to wake him up.The plane meal was unpalatable as expected, and Ebert had to thank Mark for his foresight at this time. Compared with the tasteless beef and soaked rice, these fragrant spicy jerky are simply gods gift.Ebert ate half a bag before stopping his momentum, his mouth was full of the smell of dried meat, he felt extremely satisfied.

The most important thing is that the jerky is made exclusively by Mark. All the beef is of high quality, with sesame oil and various seasonings added. It is definitely not comparable to the crude and poorly made products from the factory.

Ebert put away the table contentedly, and after wiping it clean with a paper towel, he took out the book he specially brought this time—one of the series of books "Great Movies" by the famous Hollywood film critic Roger Ebert. He turned to the previous page, and when he looked again, he saw the eyes of his neighbor through the projection on the window.

That gentleman was definitely not looking at him. Ebert first judged that the direction of his gaze was obviously wrong. In doubt, he secretly followed the gaze of his neighbor and found that his eyes were fixed on the bag of beef jerky .

Beef jerky?After staring at his own plane meal box for a while, and then at the untouched food next to him, Ebert suddenly realized.In the spirit of humanitarianism, he closed the "Great Movie", took out the bag of beef jerky and handed it to the neighbor: "Would you like some, it tastes very good, it is handmade by my friend, before I came I also complained that he did a little too much, and it turned out that he was right, I really didn't expect the plane food here to be so bad."

"Thank you." This was the first time Ebert heard his neighbor speak. Although he deliberately suppressed his voice to make it sound deeper, to Ebert, the gentleman's voice was indeed Slightly higher pitched than the average male.It's not bad, but it's not good, this is Ebert's evaluation of his voice.

The gentleman sitting next to him looked less than 30 years old, and his expression was slightly serious. Although he accepted Ebert's kindness, he only took a piece of beef jerky.After all, he was a stranger, and Ebert didn't persuade him much. He continued to open Roger's book. He had just seen the movie "The Beauty of the Comet" recently. Bette Davis' acting skills were matched with Roger's film review. , it seems to have a different taste.

Although Ebert loves to read books such as film criticism and film theory, he is by no means superstitious about so-called film critics or professionals. A thousand filmmakers are a thousand Hamlets. Everyone has a different understanding of film. One person's ideas are imposed on another.

He picked up the paper and pen that he carried with him, and wrote down his evaluation of the movie "Beauty of the Comet" word by word. It is even closely connected with Marilyn Monroe. Although the shot of Monroe is only a few seconds, as a professional filmmaker, Ebert still looks at Bette Davis, the most famous woman in the golden age of Hollywood. One of the great actresses, she has been nominated for 10 Oscars, and there is a lot to learn from Ebert in her performance.

Ebert also didn't notice the slight frown and sore teeth on the face of the gentleman sitting next to him after watching him write down those evaluations.

Even if he saw it, he might think it was because others saw him as an old-fashioned person who lived in the 30s and [-]s. Ebert didn't mind, because that was his habit.

After writing the film review of "The Beauty of the Comet", Ebert took out the script of "White Night Chaser" and studied it carefully. There are only dry lines in the script. How to play it depends on the actors themselves. How to interpret Ha Ebert already has a final decision on the role of Pu, but he is still used to reviewing the script frequently, which is a habit he has always retained in his acting career.

The eight-hour journey is only halfway through the flight, and only the faint light on the ground can be seen through the window. The rolling clouds and dazzling sunlight in the afternoon have completely disappeared.Ebert estimated that he would not arrive in Alaska until after 11 o'clock, plus the time to drive to the shooting location by car, it is estimated that he may arrive in the early morning.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, silently mourning his sleep.
