[US Entertainment] Actor

"Even if it's a brand new movie, it hasn't been verified, and it can't guarantee its box office, but at least it's 100% safe." The producer stroked his forehead, "Oh, dear Ed, Ed Bert Dawson is a dangerous guy, I understand how you feel, he can really bring attention to our movies, but think about that movie "Cheerleader Puberty", no one will rate one Movies under 3 go into theaters."

"Joshua..."

"Ed, you let me calm down, we have been friends for many years, and this is the first time we have worked together on a comedy film, I never thought of interfering with your casting rights, but even though Albert Dawson played The characters are insignificant, and I don't want to put such dangerous people in our movies. Think of the hero and heroine, think of the other supporting actors, they are all unknown young people, Albert Dawson even among them The most famous one, when the time comes the media will naturally claim that it is an Albert Dawson movie, and I can't let him ruin our effort."

"Joshua, dear friend, let me tell you what I think. Albert Dawson does have a suitable role in this movie, and if we can correct his acting as much as possible, at least Make him look not so bad to be disgusting, well, golden raspberry is not so bad, Madonna has won so many times and it doesn't affect her worth, and think of Sean Penn, being a bad boy in Hollywood is not pure bad thing.” Director Ed Deckert looked confident, “Since Albert Dawson can accept $100 a day’s work, it means we only need to give him very little money, but in terms of publicity, We can reap a hundredfold and a thousandfold return."

"What do you mean, Ed, I don't quite understand, but Albert Dawson can't compare to Sean Penn..."

"If Albert Dawson is doing well, we can sell him as a reformed man. If he is still as bad as ever, we just need to be a victim and let the world know that this kid is the same, go The Screen Actors Guild is just hype and pretending to be pitiful, and such tricks are never uncommon in Hollywood."

"One side is heaven, and the other is hell. There are always people who can't see where they are." The producer nodded, convinced by his friends for many years.

This is the first comedy they collaborated on. Ed has rich experience in screenwriting, and it is the first time to direct. There are also many voices against them in Columbia Pictures. For them, the box office results are the only proof.Even though he is just a low-level director now, Ed has always hoped that he can become a character like James Cameron in his heart.

They will not consider Albert Dawson's ideas. In their view, Albert Dawson is just a complete loser. A great waste of money?

After receiving the notice, Ebert has been resting in the apartment obediently, occasionally exercising.His parents in this body are ordinary people. He is the second child in the family. His parents neither support nor oppose his entry into Hollywood. In fact, he has not received any greetings from his family for a year.

The reason for this indifference is absurd: he doesn't look much like his parents, and looks like the product of a one-night affair.

What an absurd reason, but some people believe it deeply.

After running, standing by the window and blowing his hair for a while, Ebert simply turned on the TV. It is not a bad thing to travel to become an American. With continuous efforts in development, compared with the purely soy sauce performances of the previous ten years, latecomers are gradually able to play major roles in Hollywood movies. He still remembers that he also received an invitation from Hollywood after winning an important award.

Now, as a member of the United States of America, as long as he performs well, he may also stand on the pinnacle of the world's film industry, without considering any factors of race, nationality and skin color.

After pouring a glass of boiled water, Ebert tuned the TV to the news that was being broadcast. Although these news had become history in the future, Ebert still felt that when he saw the commentators quarreling over the news that already knew the result. A sense of superiority from the future world.

When they went downstairs for dinner, Ebert ran into Jeremy and Michael again by chance. Compared with the arrogance they had when they met last time, Jeremy and Michael seemed to be in a different mood at this moment.Ebert raised his eyebrows. He guessed that his last reminder had worked, but the agent named Doug obviously didn't give the answer they wanted.

Ebert had expected such a result.

From his point of view, a combination like Eastern Eagle shouldn't have existed in the first place.The level of development of American music is at the forefront of the entire world. Singers who can stand at the top of the music industry, from Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston to the later popular British singer Adele, everyone has both talent and strength. Tool, "Eastern Eagle" obviously does not belong to this list.It can even be said that although Albert Dawson's singing level is terrible, Jeremy and Michael are only slightly better than him, far from reaching the level of the capable group.

"Hey, Ebert, are you kidding us?"

Ebert stopped and looked at the excited Jeremy: "I don't think so, at least I look much more miserable than you, don't I?"

What happened to the "Eastern Eagle" had nothing to do with him.He has no idea of ​​developing a singing career, nor does he want to have any involvement with Ebert's past personnel.

For several days in a row, Ebert lived a very regular life, eating regularly, exercising, and sleeping regularly, which has always been his habit.After a few days of recuperation, the bruising under the corners of Ebert's eyes completely dissipated. With the skin care products he specially bought, Ebert's skin is now white and glowing, and his whole body is like a walking hormone. attention.

"Phew!" Finally, when the day agreed with the crew came, Ebert woke up early on purpose.It took two subway trips to arrive at the shooting location.In order to make himself look younger, he deliberately wore a colorful T-shirt-in fact, Ebert is not very old at all, only 20 years old this year.

The shooting location was set at a middle school in downtown Los Angeles. When Ebert arrived, the crew of "The Newcomer" was already setting up the shooting scene. After being guided by the staff, he finally met the film director Ed Deckert.

Ed Deckert, in his 40s, looks a little serious, making it hard to think of him as a comedy director.In fact, before he served as the director of "The Newcomer", he had very rich experience in comedy screenwriting. In 98, "I'm Crazy About Mary" starring Cameron Diaz, which aroused a good response, was his screenwriting work. The directing right of " was handed over to him.

"You are Albert, Albert Dawson?"

"Yes, Mr. Decker, nice to meet you."

A hint of surprise appeared on Ed Decker's face, but he quickly restrained himself.Previously, his perception of Ebert Dawson was only based on various scandals and fans' bragging about Ebert's appearance, but he did not expect that Ebert Dawson's appearance was so good, he was born to be Eat the actor's rice!Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of regret. His movie will never be Albert Dawson's salvation, and he will even be pushed deeper into hell because of it.

Ebert watched the subtle changes in the director's mood, and he had a vague illusion in his heart. It seemed that the reason why the director came to him for filming was not simple?

Before he came here, he had carefully collected information about Ed Deckert, and he also had a general understanding of the filming background of the film. If the director really wanted to get something from him, it would be Ebert himself. Even with his vulgar acting skills and his impulsive temper, there is nothing worth hyping about.

"Ebert, you can call me Ed. I think you should know something about your character, but I decided to remind you again. The character you play only has 10 minutes or so in the movie. You really Are you sure you want to play him?"

"yes, I'm sure."

"Ok."

After receiving the script, Ebert understood why Ed Deckert said those words to him.The role the movie offered him was indeed a sideshow, and not the popular team captain Ebert imagined, but instead, a member of a villainous duo dedicated to bullying the protagonist. Every appearance must be on camera at the same time as another black actor.

On the set, Ebert also met the protagonists, heroines and supporting actors of the film, but these people are really not well-known, at least in Ebert’s memory, none of them will play the leading role in the future or appear in any big productions. To sum up , this is a movie that doesn't get a lot of attention.

"Ebert, you go out with Henry, remember your aura, you are villains." This role does not require Ebert to show his pretty face, he just needs to stand there with his hips on his hips, showing a fierce expression, Ed Decker let him pass so easily that he couldn't do anything technical if he wanted to.

When he didn't need to appear on stage, Ebert hid under the studio to read.Perhaps thanks to his reputation in Hollywood, or perhaps due to the attitude of the producer Joshua and the director, the entire cast and staff of "The Newcomer" were very indifferent to him.
