[US Entertainment] Actor

The scene was a little awkward.

The scene was very, very embarrassing.

If he hadn't collaborated with Nolan in three films, Ebert would never have discovered that the calm-looking director, full of British gentlemanly demeanor, turned out to be an out-and-out black-bellied man. Analyzing it, Ebert is also difficult to detect, just as Nolan had not cooperated with Ebert many times, he would not have discovered that Ebert is actually a guy who is serious on the surface and lazy on the inside.

Nolan picked up the phone, and his smile deepened: "Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, do you have any opinion on me? We don't have much interaction, except that I refused your untimely visit before, you should Obviously, that's not the right way to do it."

Nolan was standing next to the door, and it was difficult for Ebert to hear exactly what Leonardo on the other end of the phone said. Even if he wanted to hear it clearly, as long as he got a little closer, a look of disbelief would appear on Mr. Director's face. With an unpredictable and mysterious smile, Ebert would silently take two steps back at this time.

It's very simple, he had seen Jonathan Nolan slapped hard after he saw the director showing such a ghostly smile. Even though Ebert was the biggest name in the crew, under the coercion of the director, he could only Allow yourself to bow your head.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Hanging up the phone, he threw the phone into Ebert's arms smartly, Nolan's smile never faded, "I'm so lucky that I came here, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered such an interesting thing .”

"Come back to business, I'm here to talk to you about the script." Nolan whispered, "Do you have any more ideas about the role of Batman? If so, we can talk about it, I think You should have also discovered that Batman is not a very favored character in this movie."

"Are you here to ask me if I'm satisfied with the role?" Ebert raised his eyebrows, "Because I won the Oscar is something you didn't expect, if I didn't win, I can play my male lead step by step, Because I am not much better than others, even if the role of Batman is not good enough, I should accept it. But now that I have won an award, you are worried that as an Oscar winner, I will be dissatisfied with this role. Fang exerted pressure and even interfered with the script? Chris, you don’t know me well enough.”

Nolan touched his nose with an embarrassed expression: "Ebert, you are really straightforward."

"No, Chris, I'm being so blunt because I see you as a friend. The truth is you're really overthinking it, and you and I both know that Batman leaves me little room to play. It's an inevitable commercial blockbuster, and you can't squeeze the space of 'Joker' and 'Two-Face' because of this character, they are very popular comic book characters, and they are also the highlights of this movie." Ebert He laughed, "I don't have the habit of putting pressure on the producers, because I'm an actor. Since I chose Batman, I will try my best to perfect this role within the framework of the script."

"The most important thing is that I have confidence in myself. Even if the excellence of 'Joker' and 'Two-Face' threaten me, I will use my strengths to defeat them, rather than squeeze the living space of others. That's what people with low self-esteem do."

The more Ebert said, the more embarrassed Nolan became: "No, no, Ebert, it's definitely not as exaggerated as you think. What you see is exactly what the screenwriters and I care about... in a movie Among them, it is not a good thing that the protagonist's image is too weak."

"The premise is that the plot of the movie can be substantial." Ebert patted Nolan's shoulder lightly, "Come on, Chris, this is not the first time we have cooperated. Among the sequels of commercial movies, it is more important than the content of "The Dark Knight". There really isn’t much that is fulfilling and exciting, let’s be honest with each other, I try my best to play my role well and not drag myself down.”

Christopher Nolan eventually walked away with a sour face.Indeed, he was a little worried that Ebert would be dissatisfied with the setting of the role of Batman due to the increase in status and value, but after chatting with Ebert for a while, the director found that he seemed to regard the heart of a gentleman as a villain. Stomach.Not only did Ebert not have that kind of thought, but he found out his own thoughts clearly, how embarrassing the scene just now was.

In fact, it was Lynn's toughness that gave Nolan an illusion.Facing the strength of Warner Bros., Lynn was able to argue with reason, and won the treatment of a first-line actor for Ebert. Nolan thought that under such circumstances, Ebert might also be dissatisfied with the role, and through Warner Bros. The crew put pressure on it, but obviously, he was dead wrong.

Early the next morning, Ebert arrived at the studio early, waiting for the shooting to start.

As long as there is Heath Ledger on this day, he will be the first person on the crew, and today is no exception.Heath Ledger sat quietly on the chair, waiting for the makeup artist to smear on his face. Usually, he was not the first to speak. He always waited for someone to speak first, and then said two words in agreement. Voice.

Today's situation is a bit strange, Heath Ledger actually spoke first: "Morning, Ebert."

"It's too early for you." Ebert smiled, "It must be boring to sit here every day!"

"No, it's okay, everyone else is with me." Heath Ledger sighed lowly, "Ebert, what do you think of marriage? I don't think you are like Gary who treats marriage as a game." This is not the case, Gary’s view on marriage is different from ours, he may think that as long as he lives happily, it’s fine.”

"Are you unhappy?" Ebert asked back. Heath Ledger lowered his head and did not answer the question.Ebert moved a chair and sat beside him, pondering for a while: "My view on marriage is very simple. If you are happy, stay together, and if you are unhappy, separate. Heath, I found that during this time You don't seem to be in a good mood because of marriage?"

"I don't know if it is." Heath Ledger said seriously, "Ebert, I heard that you had a mental breakdown when filming "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", what kind of situation was that? Feeling, how did you recover later?"

"It's probably very broken... If I don't think about it now, I probably won't be able to recall it. So now when choosing a script, I will deliberately ask my agent to pick some less difficult roles. For example, 'The Clown' ’, the idea of ​​this character is very complicated.”

"No, no, my understanding of this role is that he is actually very simple, but it is not easy to perform such simplicity." Heath Ledger touched the back of his head, "I think this role makes me very tired, I I would keep thinking about what would happen to me if I was a psychopath... After a long time, I even felt that I would become a psychopath too."

"Then you can learn from Anthony Hopkins, I don't want to work with Hopkins at all after watching "The Silence of the Lambs", because I think only a psychopath will play a psychopathic character." So realistic."

"Gary seems to have also played a killer in "This Killer Is Not So Cold"?"

"That's a big part of why my heart never denied that he was a pervert."

Gary Oldman, who was walking to the door of the dressing room with joyful steps: "..."

Who is he, where is he from, what did he do wrong, this group of disgusting brats, if his daughter becomes like this, he will definitely beat her up!

After putting on makeup, the shooting officially started.The scene shot today is the scene where the "Joker" made a big fuss at the banquet, held Rachel hostage, and forced Batman to sacrifice himself.There is also a brief exchange between Ebert and Aaron Eckhart in this scene.

He walked carelessly towards the center of the venue, holding several slender women in his arms: "I believe in Harvey Dent, nice slogan, Harvey, but this caught Rachel's attention, and I started to pay attention to Harvey Dante."

"The face that symbolizes the bright future of Gotham City, Harvey Dent."

Harvey Dent is Batman's love rival and the most invincible one.He stood in the light and bravely fought against criminals, but Batman could only hide in the dark, wearing a valuable mask, silently guarding the city.

Other than that, most importantly, he is someone Rachel really loves.

When the whole city was guarding against the "Joker", the "Joker" suddenly appeared at the venue, fired a few shots, and eagerly looked for the figure of Harvey Dent.

Heath Ledger was as compelling as ever when he asked "Harvey Dent can't be found, just his closest people" and was met with "We don't get easily taken down by mobs" in response hour.He stopped slowly.

Now it's "Joker" play time.

Heath Ledger was still wearing a purple coat with a green lining and a neat tie. His face was painted with white paint, and his mouth seemed to be painted with a layer of red berries. His movements and language were abnormal: "You remind me of my father."

While chewing food, he lowered his head, suddenly took out a small knife, and held a guest's head with one hand: "I hate my father!"

When Rachel stopped him, he acted like a normal man again: "Oh, hello, little beauty!"

He licked his tongue and straightened his curly hair, like a man commenting on a woman: "You must be Harvey's little lover, you are so beautiful!"

Heath Ledger's performance is hard to recall that he is just a young man in his 20s. When he is a criminal, he is a real criminal, and when he wants to soften himself , His emotions can also be easily converted.

The most terrifying thing about a pervert is that when you think he is normal, he will suddenly go crazy. It is difficult for normal people to find the law of his madness, and it is difficult to know when he will go crazy, so they have nothing to do with perverts.

The same is true of Heath Ledger's handling of "Joker". One second he seemed to be chatting with Rachel normally, but the next second he firmly pressed Rachel's face and told her about his own face. The glorious history of scars.
