[US Entertainment] Actor

In autumn, the setting sun dyes the western half of the sky red. When you climb up and look far away, the greenery is mixed with a little yellow, and people who have no reason can immediately feel comfortable.

Leonardo lowered the brim of his hat and looked into the distance: "This is really a very good place, I regret not coming earlier."

"That's because celebrities prefer places like islands and beach golf courses. It's best to have a few female models in bikinis by their side, red wine, surfing, beach volleyball..." Ebert shook his head, "But those seemed too generic to be interesting."

"So you brought me here, Great Wall." Leonardo pushed his sunglasses, "Actually, I have been to China, but every time I came and returned in a hurry, I never stayed to take a closer look at this place. The country. Its historical heritage is indeed not comparable to that of the United States, just like the place I am stepping on now, it is a miracle in the history of architecture."

Some time ago, Ebert and Leonardo have been struggling with where to go to play. As soon as the topic was raised, Leonardo immediately thought of his unpleasant travel experience in Australia and the Australian Heath Ledger.

"Could it be that Australia is my nemesis?" Ebert heard Leonardo chanting words more than once.

Leonardo was in a bad mood, and Ebert was naturally not very happy. The messy things circulating on the Internet can make him miserable. Even if those netizens YY are Batman and "Joker", but in In the eyes of the jealous jar beside him, those pictures and content refer to Ebert and Heath Ledger.

Among them, the hard work is not enough for outsiders.

Leonardo didn’t want to go to Europe. The scenery like sunshine, beaches and waves are almost the same in every country, and the appearance of Europeans is not much different from that of Americans. Leonardo would feel that there is nothing new, so , Finally, the two of them got on the flight to China.

The Great Wall is the first stop of the two.In a crowd of eastern faces, the appearance of two western faces will still attract some attention, but as big Hollywood stars, Ebert and Leonardo will attract attention no matter where they go, and this level of eyes will be on them They don't care at all, not to mention that tourists on the Great Wall do not lack western friends, and many people don't care much after just a second glance.

"No one recognized me! Ebert, do you think my disguise level is too high, or is it because I am not well-known in China?"

Ebert glanced at him: "No, you are famous and famous in China, much more famous than you think."

People who haven't experienced it will never know the scene of "Titanic" being empty when it was released in China.At that time, it was about 1998. China’s economic situation was not as good as it is now. Chinese people’s concepts of theater chain and box office were not so deep, and there were not so many people who were willing to spend money on movie tickets. For people at that time , a movie with grand production, dazzling scenes, and poignant love is undoubtedly very shocking. After the premiere of "Titanic" in Shenzhen Nanguo Cinema in 1998, it made a box office of 1500 million U.S. dollars in just two months. The movie tickets were sold like crazy, and everyone was rushing for tickets and queuing up. The ticket price at 70 RMB is still in short supply.

A theater at Nanguo Cinemas was even honored for its box office sales record. "Titanic" was even the first film in China to print advertisements on movie tickets. It was only after that that Chinese filmmakers became aware of face advertisements. For filmmakers and Chinese filmmakers, this film is of extraordinary significance.

Ebert himself has not experienced this period, but his parents are both film workers. His father described to him more than once that he and his mother braved the cold wind and waited at the entrance of the cinema for a movie ticket. It's too late, so we can only start queuing in the afternoon to buy the next day's session.

"Titanic" created a box office record of 3.6 million yuan in China, that is, after it was released, China really had the concept of a blockbuster. The box office record set by "Titanic" was not broken until 2007. It was not until 10 years later that China's film market was booming, online ticket sales were on the rise, and movie theaters were built all over the country. Movie box office only started every year. With more than 10 billion yuan, it has gradually become the most important foreign film market in Hollywood.

It is now 08, and "Titanic" has been released in China for more than 10 years, but there is no doubt that the film's influence still exists.Leonardo has thus become the most famous Hollywood star in China. Many girls, even though they are 30 or 40 years old now, will still remember the blond-haired, pure blue-eyed man named "Jack." "boy.

The reason why the two of them were not discovered is that their camouflage skills are really good. After all, they have played hide and seek with the paparazzi in Los Angeles all the year round. There are more or less faces of foreigners with face blindness, and it is impossible to make them remember their appearance with just one or two contacts.

"The weather is really nice!" Leonardo took a deep breath, and the cool wind entered his nose. He shook his head with a look of enjoyment on his face. The environment is worried, but I think it seems to be pretty good now, except for a little more people, there are no other defects. And Ebert, have you noticed?"

"what?"

"The law and order in China is really good. Even if you go out at night, no one will secretly follow you, and no one will stop you and ask you for a tip." Leonardo smiled, "But if I didn't come over, I would never I found that China is such a magical and charming country.”

In a week, the two climbed the Great Wall, watched the national flag raising, went to the Panjiayuan Bird's Nest Water Cube in the Forbidden City, and ate the famous Quanjude Roast Duck and Beijing cuisine.

When they left Beijing, neither of them dared to weigh themselves, nor did they dare to describe their pleasant journey to their respective managers. After all, Ebert and Leonardo planned to rest for more than a month as soon as they rested. Mr. Manager But very dissatisfied.

It's better for them not to pull hatred.

Leaving Beijing, the two immediately went to Chengdu, a city in southwest China.This was decided by Leonardo. After eating those foods that he would never touch, he claimed that "the soul has been sublimated". Chinese people just want to know where the most delicious food is in China.

When you come to Chengdu, the best thing to eat is of course the world-famous Sichuan hot pot. The spicy taste is paired with the steaming red oil. Leonardo almost choked when he took the first bite. After a long struggle, he He reluctantly swallowed a mouthful of food that he couldn't name: "What is this?"

"Hair belly."

The taste that he had never tasted before exploded wantonly in his mouth. Leonardo frowned and struggled at first, and then relaxed in the next second, his expression became more and more cheerful: "Although it is very spicy, it is really delicious. , I regret not coming sooner."

The steam from the hot pot made his face blurry. They chose a well-known local hot pot restaurant in Chengdu. The ingredients were very special, and they had to queue for a long time to get their seats.Surrounded by family members eating hot pot, the hot pot is steaming, sliced ​​meat and vegetables are put into the pot one by one, served with sweet and sour watermelon drink, although the atmosphere is far less noble and solemn than the dinner they usually attend, But don't have a flavor.

Leonardo stuck out his tongue while eating. After a long while, he silently glanced at Ebert: "Ebert, why do you have nothing to do with me being so hot? Are you a monster?"

"That's because you are so useless." As a standard Chinese stomach, Ebert said that he is not afraid of any challenge.

Leonardo curled his lips, ignoring his embarrassment, and had to say that hot pot really suits his taste.Although there are many Chinese restaurants and hot pot restaurants in Los Angeles and New York, Leonardo seldom goes there, because his friends who eat, drink and have fun together are not very used to the taste of Chinese restaurants, and they don’t think too highly of those restaurants. Besides, he always felt that those hot pot restaurants in the United States were not particularly authentic. Of course, he didn’t know the word “authentic” before coming to Chengdu, but some flavors are doomed to be difficult to taste once you taste them. forget.

The North American media and so-called gourmets always criticize Chinese food for being too oily and unhealthy, but in Leonardo’s opinion, there is nothing more unhealthy than the KFC McDonald’s that can be seen everywhere on the streets of the United States.

Within a few hours, Leonardo's state was like this:

"What is this, sheep's blood, my God, this stuff is edible?"

"It's delicious, I want another piece."

"Potato chips can be sliced ​​directly instead of mashed? Let me try it."

"Duck intestines?!!! The size of the Chinese people has exceeded my expectations. What else in this world is the Chinese dare not eat?"

"Well, it's crunchy and tastes really good."

Ebert's expression also changed from helplessness to eagerness to lower his head and deny to everyone that he knew the guy who made a fuss.But Leonardo would not let him go: "Ebert, don't you think they are all delicious, why am I the only one who keeps talking..."

Albert's mouth twitched.

Dear Leo, don't you really notice that the whole shop is looking at us both?

Ebert decided to put the noisy guy behind him, lower his head and concentrate on dealing with the food in the pot.Fortunately, Leonardo has also gradually mastered the experience. He found that everything is delicious as long as it is scalded in a hot pot. Goose, but he still wiped his nose with one hand, and reached out firmly to the bottom of the pot with the other.

By the way, they both actually use chopsticks.

In the United States, of course Ebert used knives and forks like ordinary people, but just after eating his first meal in China, he took a pair of chopsticks for himself without hesitation, and gave Leonardo a pair.

Leonardo was shocked that Ebert could use such an advanced tool, but he has always been reluctant to admit that he is not as good as Ebert in this kind of thing, he stumbled, and within a few days he also mastered the skills of using chopsticks trick.Just like eating hot pot this time, Leonardo's speed and posture of serving dishes are extremely standard, and he can't tell that he is a foreigner who has only been in China for a few days.

Eating and eating, Ebert suddenly heard whispers in his ears: "Is that Leonardo DiCaprio and Albert Dawson, why do they look so similar, height, appearance... Nothing like it."

"Don't dream! A-list male stars in Hollywood, they will stay in a hot pot restaurant and eat hot pot like us? You are dazzled, Ebert's "The Dark Knight" was just released in the United States a while ago, and Ebert is busy , It is said that this movie cannot be shown in China because of the subject matter, I am really upset."

"Ebert is so handsome! That figure, that appearance... I can eat three extra bowls of rice just looking at his face!"

"Three big bowls? Hmph, let alone three big bowls, even if you eat a big bowl, your mother will stand at the door of your room with a kitchen knife at night, chopping up every catty you gain."

Ebert smiled while listening.

Leonardo, who was eating happily, looked up at him: "Ebert, what are you doing?"

Ebert shook his head and drank a glass of soda: "I was thinking, if Lynn knew that I was eating and drinking now, would he fly over from Los Angeles with a kitchen knife and kill me?"

Leonardo's movements stopped: "Ebert, we are all eating, can you stop mentioning those spoilers?"

He rubbed his swollen belly, and said with satisfaction: "We'll wait until we return to China. We just eat, eat, play and have fun in China these days. Anyway, I see your stupid manager has been upset for a long time. Eat, get mad he!"

It’s okay if Leonardo didn’t say that, but Ebert felt a little guilty when he said that—of course, it’s absolutely impossible for him to weigh himself now, come out to play, you should have fun, if If you have to think about such a bad thing as gaining weight while playing, it's better to stay at home and stay in bed all day.

After eating hot pot, he went out to take a turn. Leonardo was shocked by the bustling street corner at 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening. There were people everywhere, and there was a square dance team formed spontaneously by grandpas and aunts. The current square Although the dance troupe is far less prosperous than a few years later, it has formed a climate in front of the city's neighborhoods and shops. Leonardo stared at it like a bumpkin, and he even joined in when he was having fun. After entering the team, he twisted three times to the left and three times to the right behind the uncle and aunt.

It looks like a very stupid Erha.

Ebert held his forehead helplessly. He thought, if Leonardo's posture was seen by the emoji kings who will become popular on Weibo in the future, he might become a long-lasting icon in the emoji world just like his water gun photo. Carry the handle.

Of course, that emoticon package has not yet appeared.

Ebert didn't know if it would appear, but judging by his family's level of confidence, ahem, everything seemed very likely.

After visiting the night market and dancing in the square, Leonardo's excitement is beyond words.Early the next morning, it was rare for him not to stay in bed, and he woke up Ebert, who was trying to struggle on the bed a few more times: "The sun is so beautiful, such a rare good weather."

Ebert hugged the quilt tightly: "Leo, why are you so energetic? I remember that we have no travel plans today."

"That's right, but don't you think it's interesting to be around? Everyone is busy and the streets are very lively. We can go out and have a look at the flower and bird market. I've checked everything. There are many here." Interesting stuff."

There was someone chattering by his side, and Ebert knew that his morning sleep was a waste.He yawned and ran frivolously to wash up. Half an hour later, the two met at a breakfast shop downstairs.

Leonardo poked a hole in the bun with chopsticks: "I'll taste it first, it looks very hot."

The movement of him biting the bun skin made Ebert couldn't help laughing: "You can open your mouth wider."

Leonardo rolled up his sleeves and bit into a rather large bun without hesitation: "It tastes really good, Ebert, come and taste it too!"

After breakfast, the two of them strolled around, took a bus to a famous scenic spot in Chengdu, and returned before dark.

"Although it's not dark yet, I can't help but start looking forward to tomorrow." Leonardo waved his hands and was about to jump out, "Have you heard just now, that zoo, no, it's a protected area, then There are many, many, many pandas inside!"

"Oh panda!"

"Panda! It's a super cute panda!"

Ebert deeply suspected that the Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio in front of him must not be 34 years old this year, he should be about 14 years old.

Looking forward to seeing the pandas tomorrow, Leonardo had a rare early sleep. He had been running outside for a while, and Ebert was a little tired. After 8:[-] pm Beijing time, the two of them went to bed early. As soon as I slept until morning, yesterday's fatigue was swept away, and all my strength returned.

Ebert is also looking forward to seeing the panda.

Although he is a native Chinese, Sichuan is far away from his hometown, and he has no time to go to the reserve to see these cute little guys, but he saw one in the zoo in his hometown.Pandas are probably the only animals in the world that can enjoy high-standard treatment just by being cute. They are soft and sticky like a meat dumpling, and people can't help but want to touch them when they see them.

After getting in the car, the two of them didn't feel tired. They just wanted to run to the giant panda early to have a look. It would be even better if they could touch it.

Ebert couldn't help wiping the saliva that didn't exist at the corner of his mouth.

When they finally arrived, the two bought tickets and followed the team inside.Ebert and Leonardo were walking in a row, and he could clearly hear this guy chanting: "One, two, three, four..."

The more I look, the more excited I am, the more I look, the more excited I am.

"Ebert, have you noticed his butt? It's so round, I really want to touch it. That one wants to climb the tree but can't, I really want to help it..."

"Why is it so cute, oh, fell down again!"

To be honest, Ebert really wanted to keep a distance from Leonardo. Although there were quite a few foreigners traveling with them on the same day, they were the only ones who made such a fuss!

But to be honest, the panda is indeed an animal that can make people have countless beautiful associations. It is soft and harmless, and its appearance is so cute. The most important thing is that it is a protected animal belonging to China. It has survived for countless years, and it can still bring countless happiness to people.

During his time in Chengdu, Leonardo was obviously obsessed with hot pot. Although it was not realistic to eat one meal a day, he still insisted on tasting several hot pot restaurants in the urban area with good reviews.

He was about to leave Chengdu, and what he always cared about was that he would not be able to eat such delicious hot pot when he returned to Los Angeles. On the plane from Chengdu to Shanghai, Ebert heard Leonardo whispering softly.

"Just come back later."

Ebert couldn't help but think of his parents in his previous life. It has been 8 years since he came to Hollywood in his previous life. And his presence.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally just waited in front of the house for a while, watching his parents take a boy who looked somewhat similar to his previous life out, and he didn't bother.

The relationship between his parents and relatives is very good. Although he is not here, there is another boy in this world who has replaced him as their child. He believes that they will live a good life like the previous life, and this is enough.

Although they flew to Shanghai, Leonardo was not very interested in such an international metropolis as Shanghai. Huangshan admired the welcoming pine.Compared with the western architecture and scenery, the oriental scenery is more delicate, and has a unique and natural temperament. The exquisite design makes people stop for a long time.

One day, when both of them were resting in the hotel, Leonardo took out two ceramic dolls from his bag like offering treasures: "The Chinese are so amazing! I really don't know what to say!"

Ebert took a closer look and found that the ceramic doll that Leonardo dug out turned out to be his appearance in "The Dark Knight", and the other was Leonardo's appearance in "Titanic".

"I went to a video store to see if there was a DVD of my movie, but I received these two dolls in a corner. I have never seen a doll like this before!" Leonardo said. Flashing light, "This means that I am still very famous in China! Guess how much I paid for it?"

"3 USD?"

"How is it possible? Such a rare doll, the shop owner saw that I was a foreigner, and told me that this is the best-selling model in the store, and now there is only one left, so he sold it to me for $5, which is not expensive at all."

Ebert nodded: "It's really not too expensive."

In fact, domestic tourist attractions prefer to sell some ceramic ornaments of little monks, which are quite cute at home. Ebert did not expect Leonardo to be able to find such magical things when he was running around outside. Ceramics It really doesn't match up with European and American stars at all.

On the last day of the journey, Leonardo hugged Ebert's arm and thought to himself: "Ebert, China is such an interesting place. This time we only went to Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Hangzhou... the next We're going to more and more places at once."

"If someone invites me to go to Chengdu to make a movie, I will definitely agree without hesitation. Although the hot pot makes me want to cry, it is really delicious."

Ebert hugged him: "We will come again next time."

The two happily flipped through the photos on the trip, and arrived at Los Angeles International Airport the next morning.

However, when he walked out of the airport and saw the scene where the agent was waiting for him with a happy face, Ebert's heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, a bad premonition arose!
