[US Entertainment] Actor

Chapter 19 Returning to Los Angeles

"Nice job, kid!" Back in the rest area, Al raised his hand and gave Ebert a high-five happily.

Ebert winked and gave him a funny smile: "Of course, I was guided by you, Al." After the filming of this scene, he seemed to be relieved of the burden in his heart, and he relaxed , revealing the youthful vitality of a young man.

Doing the math again, all he has left is the scene where he gets shot in the fog.

Although Harp is an important figure who promotes the plot and affects Domo's mentality, his appearance in the movie is very limited, accounting for only about a quarter of the entire script.More specifically, "White Night" is a man's play in itself, focusing on the relationship between Al Pacino's police officer Will Dormer and Robin Williams' Walter Finch. In this case, the image of the only heroine, Hilary Swank, is somewhat blurred, let alone Ebert, who is only a supporting role.

The scene in the fog was a little easier than the one Ebert had done not so long ago.In the dense fog, the image, movement and expression of the characters are easily covered up. He only needs to act out the disbelief and panic that Hap felt when he found out that Domo wanted to kill him.

In the days when there is no filming, Ebert stays on the set to read the script or watch other people's performances.At the beginning, Nolan did not allow him to stay on the set. He was worried that his cold would not be fully healed and he would catch cold if he stayed on the set. Later, Ebert tried his best to prove that he was very healthy, so the director allowed him to stay on the set for half a day.

Of course, even if he stays here, Ebert will keep three or four hand warmers on hand, one of which is bought by Ebert himself, and the others are gifts from the female staff of the crew—they affectionately He said that he really didn't want to see the expression of despair and pain on Ebert's handsome face. Even if he was sick, it was still so pity, so it's better not to get sick!

Ebert: "..."

Ebert swore that he definitely saw the look of disdain on Old Man Al's face.The old man who is famous for his hot temper once said sourly when he saw those hot little things that he was so popular with girls when he was young. He even ruined his tall image in Ebert's eyes and stole it A hand warmer, however, after hearing the explanation from the female staff, Al threw the hand warmer back on Ebert without hesitation.

"This is their love and care, this is the warmth of motherhood." Mr. Al Pacino explained with a serious expression.

Ebert sighed silently, and finally used these hand warmers. In any case, it was someone else's kindness, and he couldn't let it down.What's more, with these things in hand, put one in your pocket and one on your lap, it will keep you warm all day long.

Ebert will not accept other people's kindness in vain. When he is not on the set, he will go to those shops to taste desserts and coffee. If the taste is good, he will also pack it and bring it to the set for others Staff share.Of course, this kind of thing doesn't happen often, he is much poorer than most of the crew of "White Night Chase".

"Very good——" Christopher Nolan clapped his hands, smiled and looked at Ebert, who was lying on the stone with a hole in his stomach, and blood was flowing out, "Ebert, your part is all over. It's over, this scene was shot perfectly, far beyond my expectations."

"Thank you for your compliment, Chris." Ebert jumped up from the pile of rocks, spit out the strange-tasting plasma in his mouth, and wiped his hands with a paper towel, "This plasma smells really bad, take another shot I'm afraid I'm going to throw up."

"Everything is over, at least in this crew, you have no chance to swallow plasma." Christopher Nolan patted him on the shoulder and announced loudly to other staff and actors, "Today's shooting is over, and tonight I will Treat us to a barbecue and send off our Ebert."

"Oh Chris, does it need to be so formal, I mean the shoot isn't over after all—"

"Ebert, stop talking. After all, you are an important part of our crew. We all see your efforts. This is something worth celebrating."

"Yeah, Ebert, it's rare to have a barbecue with you alone. Don't you have the heart to let us eat those nasty boxed lunches and canned food every day?"

"Barbecue, barbecue, we want to eat barbecue!"

Most people in the crew started to quarrel, but Ebert could only smile slightly and joined the noisy army.

It is said to be a barbecue dinner, but the filming location of the film crew is only a remote town after all, the roasted meat is not that delicious, but everyone has a good time eating, especially after the owner of the barbecue shop took out the wine he has collected for many years— —

Ebert didn't know how he got back to the hotel. He only remembered that he drank a lot of wine, and he couldn't remember what happened afterwards. In short, when he woke up, he only felt a splitting headache, and the whole The person is groggy and has no strength at all.Contrary to what he really felt, his face was flushed with endless vitality.

Ebert was a little thankful that he didn't have any bad habits when he was drunk, at most he fell on the table and slept for a few hours, otherwise he would have ruined the image he had worked so hard to build.

Wiping his face and going downstairs to eat, it wasn't too late outside, Ebert weakly greeted the hotel owner: "Good morning, Abel."

"Good morning, Ebert, oh, I drank too much wine yesterday, there is soup in the restaurant, you can drink some to make your stomach feel better, and then have some breakfast. Chris and the others have already gone to the set, I heard you I have finished filming all the scenes, will I go back in two days?"

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Abel."

The air ticket was booked with the help of the film crew. It is a first-class cabin. It will leave tomorrow morning and arrive at Los Angeles Airport without waiting until midnight.Ebert intends to stay here this morning to see if there are any special products that he can take back, and he will bid farewell to the rest of the crew in the afternoon.

By the time Ebert finished everything and rested, he had already boarded the plane from Alaska to Los Angeles. When he arrived, the food Maxey gave him had been wiped out, and the food had become Ebert Te is a powerful weapon in the crew, and when he returned, he also packed a bag full of local specialties to bring back to Mark and the others. Generally speaking, the trip was worthwhile.Of course, this filming brought Ebert far more than that - in addition to the compensation paid to him by the crew of "White Night", Ebert also has Christopher Nolan, Al Parker in his mobile phone. He has the private numbers of Sino and others, and even George Clooney's cell phone number. This Hollywood male god was called by Ebert on the first day he came to the crew. In Ebert's view, these They are all symbols of connections, and he will not call them easily.

Most importantly, Ebert regained the feeling of being an actor in his previous life.The soul in his blood that has been working hard and reached the pinnacle of the actor has been released again, and his belief in his heart has become firmer.

There were still not many people on the plane, and there were even fewer first-class passengers. Ebert was the only one, so he received the warmest hospitality from the flight attendants.The small town specialties that were originally put in the backpack have not been taken out again, because the first-class meal of this airline is still good, at least there is soup and water, and the color matching effect is also good. Ebert ate very satisfied.

Taking advantage of the day, he simply took out the "Great Movie" and studied it carefully.The movies contained in this book are basically the movie series of the golden age of Hollywood. Ebert has only watched some of them, and there are many that he has not finished watching. The rest are his next tasks.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when we got off the plane, and it was a sunny day in Los Angeles. Even though the temperature on the ground was not high, the sun shone warmly on people's faces, and it was so comfortable that people didn't want to move.

The moment Ebert finished picking up his luggage and leaving the aisle, he hardly knew whether he had used magic the moment before. Suddenly, a field of long guns and short guns burst into the space full of ordinary passengers just now, flashing lights one after another, almost To blind Ebert.

Ebert was very sure that the expression on his face must be very confused at this moment, and he suddenly remembered Mark's reminder... However, it was too late.

"Ebert, how was your time in Alaska?"

"Ebert, what is the relationship between you and Leonardo DiCaprio, and what is the purpose of your appointment to go to Alaska?"

"Ebert..."

"Ebert..."

Ebert was speechless. He really wanted to tell the whole world that he only went to shoot a movie for half a month. Why did the whole world change after the filming?He and Leonardo DiCaprio may have known each other, but only because Leonardo was the actor in "Titanic" and Ebert happened to have seen that movie.

Everything was just a coincidence, but Ebert knew very well that even if he said so, no media would believe it. They would only think that Ebert was making up things to send them off.

Ebert put down his luggage and stretched out his hand to signal the reporters to step back so as not to block the passage of other passengers. Then, he led the reporters to a corner of the airport and accepted a brief interview.

"I can't understand what you are talking about at all. I just went there to shoot a movie this time. I don't need to disclose the details. You will understand after the movie is released."

"Leonardo DiCaprio? Yes, I know him, who in Hollywood doesn't know Leonardo DiCaprio, there are posters of him everywhere on the street, but God knows how he Will fly with me, just ask the airline."

"Gentlemen, I very much hope that you can keep calm as media people and think about it with your brain. If you need to enjoy yourself, why not choose Las Vegas, even New York and San Francisco... are better than freezing Alaska More? I can’t understand the mentality of people who go to Alaska in November, oh, I don’t mean playing with snow, but playing with women.”
