[US Entertainment] Actor

"When I became interested in movies, Al was my idol. I was very impressed by his superb performance in "The Godfather". When an actor decides to put his energy into acting , he often needs an opportunity, needs an idea of ​​acting as a lifelong career, which often needs the guidance of an outstanding performer." Hilary Swank did not hesitate to praise Al Pacino, Old man Al kept a stern face and said nothing, but anyone could see that he was in a happy mood at the moment.

Ebert nodded in agreement: "It's very simple for a person to make the decision to become an actor. It only needs to have a good movie. I liked watching movies when I was a child, "The Extraterrestrial ET", "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" ... I've even seen Gone with the Wind a couple of times, which girls love, and they're hilarious."

"The times are different. There are more and more opportunities for young people, and the types of movies are becoming more and more abundant. In the future, more and more people will participate in this industry. One day you will also see yourself participating in the film industry." The character becomes a classic."

Ebert has benefited a lot from conversations with top industry figures such as Al Pacino and Hilary Swank. He increasingly feels that joining the crew of "White Night Chaser" is an extremely lucky thing. Communication between these people, even at a very detailed level, is crucial to the development of his acting ability.

After all, practice is the best teacher.

The first scene of the movie is the scene where Al and Ebert fly from Los Angeles to a small town in Alaska. There is almost no difficulty in this part. Al and Ebert easily passed Nolan's request.

In order to make himself look more mature and more in line with Harp's identity as a married police officer, Ebert had to get up an hour earlier than other actors in the crew, and let the makeup artist design a new image of Hap according to Nolan's idea.Professional make-up artists in Hollywood have always possessed the magical ability of a magician. In their hands, Ebert immediately transformed from a young boy in his 20s to a preoccupied but capable police officer in his 30s.When he saw his image again, Ebert was almost unrecognizable. He made a calm expression in the mirror, and then nodded silently to express his satisfaction.

Makeup artist Meera Seth said to him with a smile: "I have done makeup for many actors, and you have the best skin among them."

"Thank you." Ebert accepted her compliments frankly, and he himself felt the same way. Ebert's appearance was like a gift from heaven, and his skin condition was surprisingly good. His pores were as delicate as those of young orientals. It doesn't look like the skin of Europeans and Americans.

Will Dormer played by Al and Eckhart Harp played by Ebert were warmly received by the local police officer Ellie after they arrived in Alaska. The three of them quickly arrived at the police station by car and began to investigate the cases.

Al and Ebert were arguing endlessly over time: "Have we not seen each other for seven years?"

"It's eight years—"

"Seven years!"

The dispute didn't last long. When it came to why the two were sent to this remote town, Harp complained and chattered endlessly. His complaints were quickly stopped by Domo.

Ebert played Harp's dissatisfaction from the very beginning. Although it was the first time he and Al worked together, the coordination of the roles was quite perfect-it not only highlighted the personality of Harp, but did not let himself be reduced to For the background board of Al's powerful acting skills, he found his proper position in the movie again, without overwhelming the guest.

During the filming break, director Christopher Nolan looked back at the scene just now and nodded: "The conflict was handled very well. Al and Hillary's performances were above the level, and Ebert also caught his point. ,very good."

"Boy, you played very well!" Al lay on the chair studying the script, and took the time to praise Ebert when he looked up.

Ebert showed a hearty smile: "Of course, Al, I was chosen by you, and I won't embarrass you!"

Al Pacino turned his head away and stopped talking to him. When Christopher Nolan came over to discuss the plot with him, he couldn't help but praise Ebert again and again.As a figure in the list of Hollywood's top actors, although Al is not an authoritative figure with full power of speech, such as the president of a film company or a broker, but as a leader among actors who have developed in Hollywood since the 60s, he brought a newcomer to Al. It's not hard to say.

During the filming interval, Ebert also sketched on the newly printed script, trying to find out the outstanding points of Harp's character in other aspects. After a while, seeing old man Al sleeping with the script on his face, Ebert Te finally couldn't help but dawdled past and asked Al for advice.

"Boy, I think you're thinking too much, and you've taken a detour." Al put on his glasses, and pointed to the part drawn by Ebert, "Although Hap is facing prison, he doesn't care about this young girl." The attitude of the murder case is still positive, he made mistakes, but he was still an honest policeman."

Ebert listened attentively, and gave his own thoughts: "Do I need to strengthen this sense of integrity, or should I weaken it?"

Al squinted at him: "The specifics of how to do it will be clear when you enter that environment, Ebert, what you just did is very good, don't let your ideas diverge too much, and play Harp as your ideal Looks good."

While the two were chatting, Nolan had already picked up the radio, announcing that the filming of the next scene was about to start.

In the first two days of filming, Ebert's main task was to follow Al Pacino and listen to him analyze the case, leaving little room for him to develop.

The scene where Ebert can really show his acting skills is his audition scene with Al Pacino, and the scene where Hap is accidentally injured by Al Pacino's Domo while tracking the murderer.

His acting time is actually very short—although the crew of "White Night Chase" signed a half-month contract with him, Ebert estimated that all of Harp's roles added up to only one week. The possible loss time of NG and various emergencies.

"Did you enjoy the performance?" On the phone, Mark asked hurriedly, "Ebert, I have to tell you something about you. Remember the day you left for Alaska?"

"what happened?"

Seeing Ebert's ignorance, Mark quickly explained to him: "That day, Leonardo DiCaprio also took the same plane to go skiing in Alaska. I don't know if you have met. In short, Many Hollywood reporters went to Alaska to follow Leonardo, they found his boarding information, and later they didn’t know who hacked the airline’s network, and they found out that you were also on that flight.”

Ebert thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head: "I haven't seen him, but even if the reporters are all running over, it has nothing to do with me, the reporters are all running for Leonardo. Nuo Lan has a high requirement for the confidentiality of the shooting location, even if the reporter touches it, they will not be able to capture any valuable information."

"I understand this very well, so I'm not worried about you. You know, the whole Hollywood media is now speculating about what kind of secret relationship you have with Leonardo DiCaprio, going on the same plane Alaska is still in economy class. They don’t believe it’s a 100% coincidence. Leonardo is a famous playboy in Hollywood. You have also had a lot of experiences that have been publicized by tabloids. There is a huge sex hunting venue that attracts Hollywood male stars, as long as they follow you, they may find some great news!"

In this regard, Ebert just wants to say that too much brain supplementation is a disease.

"The crew of "White Night" and Columbia Pictures still keep the secrets quite good. Now the outside world only knows that Al Pacino and Hilary Swank participated in this movie. They don't know that you are also in it. existence, but maybe they just don't care about it, after all, compared with Al and Hillary, you are just a little guy."

"Mark, I have no doubt that if your dream hadn't been to become a successful screenwriter, you would have found your place in the most successful gossip magazine in the world. But I'm still very grateful for your message, I won't change Primitives who know nothing about the world."

After hanging up the phone, Ebert was also thinking about buying a computer.Although the current Internet is not as easy and convenient as later generations, it is more than enough to search the web and process files.The contract signed this time allowed Ebert to get a remuneration of [-] US dollars, which is a full [-] to [-] in RMB, which is enough for Ebert to spend for a period of time.

It is imperative to find an agent. Although his reputation and reputation have been improved in a short period of time, only by finding an agent who can handle everything for him can he transform his reputation into his urgent need. money needed.

Ebert clenched his fists violently. He wanted to make money, a lot of money!

It's really uncomfortable to be poor all the time, and Ebert is tired of struggling with money.
