[US Entertainment] Actor

Chapter 174 General Chapter

"I made a wrong choice. I thought everyone was as pure and kind as me... Oh, how stupid." Gary Oldman looked aggrieved, "Especially you, Heath, and Ebert If you get along with the guy for a long time, you will become bad."

Heath Ledger gave a low laugh, and then fell silent.

This is his most common state in the crew, and everyone is used to it. "Joker" is also a gloomy and low-key villain. Heath Ledger will inevitably make some changes in order to make his performance more suitable for the role, although he He has tried to integrate into the crew, but in the most subtle places, some of his performances still seem out of place.

In Ebert's previous life, the role of "Joker" alone could not destroy Heath Ledger. On the one hand, he fell into the whimsical world that actors built for himself. On the other hand, the pressure of family and marriage also made him The self-confidence he had built up gradually crumbled.

"In short, I'm just a poor little guy bullied by everyone." Gary Oldman laughed for a while, seeing Christopher Nolan's gaze sweeping over, he shrank his neck and closed his mouth tightly.

It stands to reason that Gary Oldman, who is nearly 50 years old, has no need to be intimidated by Christopher Nolan, who has not yet passed his 37th birthday. Nolan himself is not a very strong director. He focuses more on constructing the framework of the film world, and actors are just tools for him to perfect this framework for him.

The reason why Gary Oldman did this was entirely because Nolan thought he had brought his younger brother down.

Gary Oldman has plans to start a marriage with his fourth fiancée, a woman about Ebert's age.In fact, Ebert has always admired Gary Oldman and a group of people represented by him. They have experienced one failed marriage after another but they can fail repeatedly. They persevere in completing the wedding in the church. When the diamond ring traps each other, the relationship between each other will last forever.

Ebert doesn't reject marriage. On the contrary, he feels that he and Leonardo's relationship has developed to a stage where he can argue for evidence, but he doesn't have the strength and courage to start a new marriage one after another. of.

After Gary was proud of himself in love, he couldn't help but handed over his skills of picking up girls to Jonathan Nolan. The two slipped out to dance in the dark, and Christopher Nolan happened to find out when they came back.

The punishment Jonathan received was terrible, but the situation of Gary Oldman was not much better. Nolan deliberately spared some of his energy to deal with him in his busy schedule, even if he was as thick-skinned as Gary Oldman. Can not help but give birth to a sense of powerlessness.

Filming of the film is still in progress.

There are still not many scenes between Ebert and Heath Ledger. In comparison, he has more cooperation with Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, and occasionally with Alan Eckhart. Come to a few games.But to be honest, in this "The Dark Knight", the sense of existence of the role of Batman is indeed reduced to the minimum. Needless to say, compared with the amazing "Joker", the "two-faced man" Harvey Dent They are more like the embodiment of justice than him.

Especially Harvey Dent has a dark drama.Watching a bright knight with a strong sense of justice suddenly go to darkness, and the justice and persistence of this character are seen by everyone, for the audience who are used to American blockbusters where good guys kill all sides, bravely save beautiful women, bad guys plan to go bankrupt and die in embarrassment , The reverse design of "The Dark Knight" is completely a bright spot.

Of course, the long-lasting superhero series is precisely because of the charm of each character.

Audiences love Batman and Robin, but they also love The Joker, Two-Face, Catwoman and Penguin.

Of course, even if Ebert's sense of presence in this movie has been greatly weakened, Ebert still intends to do his best to play his role well, and he has already planned to sign a contract with Warner for the next movie .

After all, the "Batman" series is different from "Pirates of the Caribbean". This is the only commercial blockbuster starring Ebert. Ebert's resume has greatly improved Ebert's worth and status.

In addition, this series, especially the "Dark Knight" that Ebert is shooting will become a classic. Judging from its IMDb score and Rotten Tomatoes index, it can no longer be regarded as a purely commercial movie.

Its quality is much higher than that of general commercial blockbusters, but it has achieved impressive results at the box office.

The first and second parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" that Ebert participated in before, although his performance also contributed a lot of box office, but everyone will only think that this is the achievement of Johnny Depp.

Not long ago, the third part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series has been released on a large scale in several theaters in North America, and the box office results are still good. Neither was the less-than-great second installment, and of course, Disney did make a ton of dollars out of it, but it's a shame to watch an otherwise excellent series become mediocre as a sequel drags on.

Keira Knightley has declared that the third film will be the last film of her "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and Ebert has already withdrawn. The only one in the "Iron Triangle" of pirates is still insisting on Johnny Depp Only one person.

Of course, most of the glory of the film's success went to Johnny, but when the film gradually went downhill, it was Johnny who was blamed the most. This is an unchanging law in Hollywood.

Of course, Ebert decided to continue to stick to the role of Batman, but Lynn, as an agent, would not let him waste the highest honor of an actor, the Oscar winner.

"I'm already putting pressure on Paramount...David Fincher's ideas are indeed important, but compared to Brad Pitt, you are a better choice." Lynn raised his voice, " Ebert, you know, Hollywood is the most realistic circle, even a successful director like David Fincher can't help but compromise when faced with the double pressure of capital and production."

"Let go and do what you want, we are one."

For the script "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", Ebert really liked it, but he didn't have the attitude of insisting on it. Now he already has the status and honor he wants. Stuffed with scripts, there is absolutely no need for him to make it too ugly for a script.

Relatively speaking, being able to grab the script from Brad Pitt is something that Ebert is more interested in. After all, Leonardo and himself do not appreciate this person very much.Of course, although Brad Pitt's disposition is very bad, he and Ebert don't have any deep hatred. The wonderful script is the prerequisite for Lynn's decision to start, and he will only put other things aside.

The days of filming in the crew are always long and boring. Taking advantage of the rest period of the crew, Ebert can't help but find something for himself.Although he still buries himself in reading scripts most of the time, occasionally when he feels bored, he will go out for a walk.

It's just that Leonardo is not here, otherwise life should be a little more interesting.

"You think I'm here?" After listening to Ebert's narration, Leonardo pondered quietly for a while, "I should finish filming all the plots in August. By then, will you be in Chicago or London?"

"I don't know, it may be transferred to London."

"Okay, I'll contact you after I'm done shooting. If I'm in London, I can accompany you."

Reminiscent of how Christopher Nolan disliked Leonardo during the first filming of "Batman", Ebert couldn't help but smiled: "What are you going to use to impress Chris this time? Chris has no shortage of investment now. .”

"Oh!" Leonardo rubbed his head in frustration, "This is the trouble, you never know how far a certain director or actor's career will develop after two years. Just like a few years ago, I could take care of There are several of you, but now you can come and take care of me."

"Nursing? Oh, you're still thinking about this! You really can't forget about it!"

Ebert was talking happily when there was a sudden knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Christopher Nolan.

"Good evening, Chris, why are you here?" Ebert held the phone with one hand and turned to let Nolan in.

"I was discussing the topic of the script with you, but I seem to have heard something extraordinary... Baoyang, Ebert, long time no see, your scale is much bigger!" Nolan said with a smile.

The topic of nurturing is not uncommon in Hollywood. Even the staid and silent Christopher Nolan will always hear this kind of talk on various occasions. Of course, the high-sounding Hollywood people will always give a very beautiful name-falling in love , even if this so-called love is very short, after the breakup, both parties get what they need, and the happiness is hard to describe.

Ebert paused: "I'm talking to Leo, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio is talking about the plot of a movie...he plans to visit the crew some time later."

Christopher Nolan's face suddenly turned cloudy: "Ebert, are you causing trouble for me again? If it wasn't for the sake of investment last time, I would definitely be rude to him."

"No, Chris, in fact Leo admires you very much. He is looking forward to working with you on a movie next time. The brief communication with you left him very impressed..."

Before Ebert finished speaking, Leonardo's extremely annoyed voice came from the receiver: "When did I say such a disgusting thing?"

Since Ebert had just opened the door for Nolan, and Nolan was standing very close to Ebert, so Leonardo's roar just now was heard by the director verbatim.Mr. Director showed an inscrutable smile: "Disgusting words? Worship?"

Ebert's body froze, but Nolan stretched out his hand at this moment, pointing to his mobile phone: "I'll have a chat with him."

Ebert subconsciously wanted to turn off the phone, but Leonardo's voice came over quickly: "Just chat, whoever is afraid of whom!"

The author has something to say: Nolan: Very good, you are very brave, don't even think about filming "Inception".
