[US Entertainment] Actor

"This is a signal." Lynn waved his arms cheerfully, "It shows that the most powerful people in Hollywood are accepting you as one of them. They recognize your strength and think that you may become the next Tom." Hanks or the next Tom Cruise, you make money for them first, then you can enslave others to make money for you."

Ebert rubbed his forehead: "Do I need to do anything to prepare for this?"

Lynn shook his head: "No need, you just need to keep the current state."

"It's rare that you didn't let me make more money." Ebert raised his eyebrows, "Sex change?"

"You have earned enough money during this time, Ebert, I am not a greedy person. You are an actor, and your exposure has been much higher than others since the Oscars. If the audience They can see you in TV commercials, and this kind of bombardment will only turn them off."

In fact, after the contracts of several endorsement brands expired, Lynn had been negotiating with them about signing contracts, and Ebert shot two commercials alone.Now, in addition to Armani and Emirates who are still under the contract, he also has the endorsement of a Cadillac model, the endorsement of a new BlackBerry mobile phone, and the endorsement of a high-end Rolex watch. There are several, and Lynn chose brands with global influence for Ebert, and Ebert had 2000 million US dollars in the account during this period of endorsement fees alone.

This is also the reason why stars always want to make a breakthrough in business. The commercial success of Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman and others not only brought them high salary, but also brought a lot of money. Commercial endorsements, talking to actors about anything else is pointless, only money is the only motivation.

After this busy period, Ebert began to exercise his physical fitness for the second filming of the "Batman" series. Fortunately, he had already had a rough experience during the first filming, and the whole process was actually not complicated.

Before the filming started, Ebert deliberately contacted Christopher Nolan and learned about the general plot of the film from him. He especially spent a lot of energy on researching the original comics, especially the one involving the villainous character of the Joker. That part, once he gets busy, he no longer feels that time passes too slowly or is too boring, but instead lives every day full of energy.

As time went on to May, discussions about the Oscars in Hollywood have gradually faded. Although some media still pay attention to Ebert's new work, Hollywood is a place that never lacks news. Old news will soon be replaced by new news. Covered, journalists are never idle.

For Ebert, being able to study scripts at home quietly is the best life.

He's really, really satisfied.

From his previous life to the present, he never thought that one day he would win the little gold man, which symbolizes the highest honor in the acting world, even when he became Albert Dawson on the first day, knowing the life and career of this man What a mess it was when he broke down.

Although he has always maintained a humble appearance in front of outsiders, Ebert himself can't help but wonder whether he won the statuette in just 7 years, or after his entire career was completely disturbed by a golden raspberry. When there is no hope, he can actually create a miracle!

Although this Oscar is inseparable from his excellent acting skills, it has to be said that he is actually lucky.Forest Whitaker can be said to be on par with him, but he was slightly inferior in the end. As long as a few temporarily change their minds, perhaps Ebert will become the frustrated one.

Every Oscar is a struggle of strength and luck.

However, although all the public relations and publicity work before the Oscars were tiring, all the efforts were worthwhile. The Oscars are not only a trophy, but the actual meaning it can bring is far greater than the symbolic meaning.When Ebert was nominated for the first time for "The Pentium Era", his career achieved a rapid breakthrough. Since then, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" has made him an actor that all major directors look forward to working with. The probability of picking good works is getting higher and higher... In 2000, he couldn't imagine that he would be so successful one day.

Ebert didn't think about stagnating after only one Oscar.

He is only 27 years old, younger than the 78 Oscar winners in Oscar history. Many of them have won twice, but their awards are basically won after they are 30 years old. Ebert has more awards than them Time, he also thinks he should achieve higher achievements.

His goal is far from being as simple as one statuette, or even two. He wants to be the greatest actor, so his goal is to be the only Oscar.

If his ambitions are known to other people, they will probably only laugh at his whimsical ideas. After all, Oscars are not Chinese cabbage, and Oscars are awarded because of the right time, place and people, unless Ebert's performance is really good enough to crush all Only the harsh judges will consider awarding him a second trophy.

Katharine Hepburn, who has won the most statuettes in film history, has only won 4 awards. Although Meryl Streep is getting nominations every year, the number of trophies has not increased much. She has won the most statuettes in history. The famous actor Daniel Day Lewis now only has one statuette. No one will guarantee that he will always perform well unless he meets the most suitable role and then bursts out with the best performance.

But Ebert's idea is very simple. He doesn't intend to consider external things such as the judges' ideas and film history records. He just intends to make every next film and play every role he chooses well. , so that one day he will meet good luck.

Taking out the notebook from the drawer, Ebert silently wrote down the Arabic numeral 1, then closed the notebook and devoted himself to studying the script of the new movie.

The shooting of the film will start in June, and Ebert's figure has already been trained to meet the shooting standards. The closer the time is, the more he looks forward to it.

He is very interested in Heath Ledger. After all, Heath Ledger in his previous life was recognized as one of the young actors with outstanding acting skills in Hollywood. People, Heath's strength should not be underestimated.

Of course, Ebert also has a small thought. He still hopes to use his own strength to give Heath Ledger a little help. He insists that every outstanding actor is a fortune, especially a young actor, not to mention that he will To be working with Heath Ledger, it's pretty cruel to watch an actor who just worked with him not long ago die.

Leonardo expressed his disdain for Ebert's insistence on studying the script and often talking about Heath Ledger: "An ordinary-looking guy is a bit ugly when you look closely. Ebert, did you fall in love with him because you watched "Brokeback Mountain"? You playboy."

Ebert: "..."

What is flirtatiousness and flirtatiousness? All the flirtatiousness and flair in his life have been given to this ignorant guy in front of him, okay?

Seeing that Ebert didn't speak, Leonardo thought that he had acquiesced, and his tone seemed to be dipped in vinegar: "Merry and flirtatious, flirtatious and flirtatious, I shouldn't have believed you at that time. This guy suddenly became interested in someone else."

"I should have found out earlier. I was nominated for Best Actor with you that year, and you had a great chat with Johnny along the way. Except for Johnny, you got along well with other actors you have worked with. Just I remember the names of three or four."

Ebert rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Is it a bad thing to have a good relationship with co-stars?"

"That's for a normal person." Leonardo's gaze swept across Ebert's body like a knife, "It doesn't make sense for a flirtatious guy like you."

Ebert no longer knew how to express his feelings in words.

After being with Leonardo, his past romantic history is regarded as taboo, and Ebert can't even mention it at all. When he mentions this guy, he will use "Yeah, I let so many women don't be fooled by you!" Turn the guy over here" to fight back at Ebert, so now, Ebert himself is the one who is flirtatious. When Leonardo wants to be awkward and jealous, he has no power to fight back.

What's more, it is only two months before the end of the Oscar awards ceremony. Facing Leonardo, who is full of yin and yang and jealousy, Ebert only feels that he has a big dog that can only act like a baby, and he still does it from time to time. The kind that ran away from home, fortunately, when Leonardo became more and more emotional, Ebert was not helpless, as long as Leonardo lost his temper, Ebert would rush him Fell down on the sofa, blocked his mouth with his mouth, and blocked his unspoken words. Of course, this situation usually only works two or three times, and there are many times of failure.

"Hey, Ebert, be honest, why do you attach so much importance to the cooperation with Heath Ledger? I have never seen you so excited when you worked with Martin and Jack last time." Leonardo frowned, " If you regard Heath Ledger as a worthy opponent, but his strength and works are not as good as yours, is he really qualified?"

"In short, you don't need to be so sensitive at all, Heath Ledger...I just think some parts of his performance are very interesting." Ebert smiled, "and met a worthy opponent in a movie Isn't it an interesting thing? The character design of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is more conducive to the role of the clown, and I don't want people to see that Batman has no power to parry under the crazy performance of the clown. Oh, you know, I'm also an Oscar winner."

"I really doubt that all your explanations are just for the last sentence, yes, you hateful Oscar winner."
