[US Entertainment] Actor

Leonardo was distressed as hell.

Although he didn't reveal a word, both Ebert and Lynn could see the frustration of this Hollywood celebrity from the clues. It's understandable when you think about it. No matter who is followed by a bunch of crazy reporters, they just Being able to use the ability of a track and field athlete to escape with all his strength may not be in a good mood. Of course, the two of Ebert did not know the feat of Leonardo being chased for two streets, otherwise they would have a crush on this popular actor. Reciprocate with deeper sympathy.

Leonardo feels that he has been really unlucky recently. The "Gangs of New York" that was filmed and prepared to be released last year was affected by the "911 Incident" and had to be delayed. Even now, there is no sign of appearing on the big screen. In their eyes, his only masterpiece is "Titanic". In other words, their only impression of his film achievements is "The Beach", which was criticized by the media and scored only 6.6 on IMDb.

He has acted in so many movies. Before "Titanic", whether it was "Different Sky" or "Total Eclipse of Love", he received a lot of praise for his performance. "Different Sky" even made him He got his first Oscar nomination, but his name is closely associated with "Titanic" after "Titanic" swept the $18 billion box office worldwide and set numerous records.

Leonardo is not complaining that "Titanic" has brought him countless troubles. This movie is his masterpiece, and he has also performed it with heart. It made him the most valuable actor in Hollywood. Compared with relying on Seniors recommended and self-recommended roles in the past, and now he has the resources that any actor would be jealous of and longs for, and he is grateful for everything this movie has brought him.But in fact, after the success of this movie, his commercial value has been infinitely increased, but his strength as an actor has been ignored by most audiences and the media. No matter what he does, even if he is filming Martin Scorsese Working with Steven Spielberg's new work, and cooperating with acting masters such as Daniel Day Lewis and Tom Hanks, the media often mentions the name "Jack Dawson" when referring to him.

Emotional life is also a mess.He established a relationship with Gisele Bundchen two years ago. He loves Gisele very much, but he can't give her a marriage. The habitual nightclub life and the call of his friends always make him drink more A few drinks, and when he comes to his senses, oh, he must be on the front page of the tabloids.

Carefully counting all kinds of news about him in the past few years, the filming of "The Beach" destroyed the environment in Thailand, causing the public to burn his own portrait to vent their anger, the bodyguard beat the reporter and was arrested and imprisoned, and his friends worried that he would damage his body if he continued to play... It made Leonardo unwilling to believe that the hero of these news was himself.

He can even think of his own future from this: If his acting skills are not good enough, the media will declare that he has completely lost his aura, and if he does not have a big business success, he will be called a parallel importer, and he will be tracked by reporters every day...

Oh, how bad it is!

He didn't have the habit of expressing sadness in front of friends he wasn't familiar with. Seeing that Ebert's eyes were clear and he didn't intend to explore further, he immediately relaxed: "Do you want to drink something? I ordered a lot of whiskey. If If you don't mind, we can have a drink together."

This is a restaurant that Ebert and Lynn used to go to. The owner and waiters are all his acquaintances, and there will be no privacy leaks.Even when the big star Leonardo DiCaprio appeared, the young waiter's eyes lit up, and he strictly abided by the responsibility of the waiter from the beginning to the end, which made Leonardo very satisfied, his look So it became more gentle: "Ebert, it seems that you can always meet me when I am most embarrassed..."

Ebert smiled slightly: "In my opinion, those scenes are not very embarrassing. Lynn still has to drive. I don't like drinking very much, but I can have a little."

Leonardo patted the wine glass: "Then have some, my friend will pick me up after dinner, which can save a lot of time."

Ebert and Lynn Qiqi nodded: "That's fine."

The restaurant served authentic Los Angeles food. Ebert and Lynn only drank a little water after picking up the car. They were both a little hungry at the moment, so even though Leon, the most famous fried chicken in Hollywood, was sitting opposite him Nado DiCaprio, the two also unceremoniously feasted.

"Ebert, don't eat pork, eat chicken, the fat in pork is too much, you have already gained 2 catties, if you continue to gain weight, you will starve for the next month."

The fork that Leonardo was about to aim at the pork paused in mid-air, and then he forked a piece of corn as if nothing had happened.

Ebert glanced at Lynn dissatisfied, sighed and chewed the white-cut chicken silently.Fortunately, Lynn was not a complete tyrant, he still allowed him to eat a little beef. After tasting the delicious grilled steak, Ebert's dissatisfaction was swept away, and he couldn't help saying to the waiter who was serving: "Elena, the grilled steak made by Uncle Marvin is still as delicious as ever."

"Then you make two more movies, and you will give Uncle Marvin a few more autographs in the future, and he will be very satisfied."

"no problem."

Leonardo, who was eating hard, raised his head when he heard the words: "Do you know everyone in the restaurant?"

Ebert nodded: "This is a restaurant near where I live. I usually come here to eat. Some dishes taste very good."

Sure enough, Leonardo thought silently, he thought Ebert was an old-fashioned old-fashioned view of the last century. He was right. He would read film reviews and scripts on the plane, and eat in restaurants with a strong family atmosphere... the previous paragraph The time was overwhelming with all kinds of news about Ebert. Leonardo even set aside an hour to watch "Saturday Night Live". Ebert's style on the show was nothing like him on the plane At the beginning, Leonardo thought he would get lost in the feasting and feasting of Hollywood, but now it seems that he underestimated Ebert, and Ebert's essence has not changed at all.

He seems out of tune with Hollywood, but seeing his details as an actor on the big screen, Leonardo feels that he should belong to Hollywood by nature.

"How are you doing recently? Do you have any work plans for the second half of the year?"

Ebert lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "In the second half of the year, he will be the second male lead in a movie."

Ebert would not easily reveal to Leonardo that he was fighting for the male number one in "The Pentium Era". Find extra trouble.

"Which movie?"

"Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean."

Leonardo nodded: "I've heard of that movie, Disney's big production this year, a big project personally approved by Michael Eisner. Is the leading actor Johnny? I've asked Toby for this movie. Before Spider-Man came out, but they haven't heard anything since."

After "Spider-Man" was released, Tobey Maguire, whose original salary was only 400 million U.S. dollars, surged in value. 1000 million U.S. dollars can't satisfy the appetite of this newly popular actor. At least 1000 million U.S. dollars must be added to the box office. .

In Hollywood, commercial films and literary films are a pair of contradictions, and few actors can successfully walk between commercial and literary films.The advantage of business is that it can make actors famous overnight and earn money that they can never spend in a lifetime, but once the box office failure is regarded as box office poison, actors have to take the initiative to reduce their pay in order to get more role opportunities, such as Nicholas Kay Odd, for example, Johnny Depp more than ten years later.The advantage of literature and art is that the actors’ salary is not high, but there will always be filming, which can always reassure the film company and win awards, such as Hilary Swank, who worked with Ebert.

Leonardo can be regarded as a relatively successful example. After "Titanic" set a record, he decisively threw himself into the embrace of art films. With his super popularity and good reputation since he was a child star, the films he starred in generally achieved high ratings. Good box office results, so he became the most popular actor in studios and film companies.

"What about you?"

"There will be two movies released in the second half of the year, and we have to promote them all the time, so there is no plan to make a movie." Leonardo thought for a moment, "Maybe one day we can work together on a movie. The performance in "Fighting"."

"Then you need to figure out a way."

When we got along with Leonardo before, the sense of strangeness was quite strong. After eating together, this feeling almost disappeared. Leonardo even jokingly said to him at the end: "I hope this meal will not drag you down. Another headline."

Ebert waved his hand: "This is not Alaska, there is nothing worth making up, besides, there is nothing wrong with making headlines, at least the audience can remember that there is an actor named Albert Dawson. "

"Well, Albert Dawson, I'm Jack Dawson, maybe we were brothers in the previous life!"

Ebert shrugged lightly: "It's a pity that I never set foot on that giant ship named 'Titanic'."

After the meal, it was Tobey Maguire, whom Lynn had been talking about for two months, who came to pick up Leonardo. The moment the baby-faced actor appeared in the restaurant, Ebert and Lin En looked at each other silently. Although there was no outward sign at all, the two still saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, a word related to "The Pentium Era" was not mentioned just now, and Ebert expressed his great gratitude.

Tobey Maguire shook hands with Albert Dawson after being introduced by Leonardo before picking Leonardo up.Watching these two most expensive male stars of the younger generation of Hollywood disappear from sight, Lin En silently picked up the topic that he didn't have time to talk about just now: "Ebert, I think it is very likely that you have gained the friendship of a superstar, Leonardo looks easy to get along with, he likes to go to nightclubs and pick up girls, it seems that all Hollywood is his friend, but in reality? His friends are far less than imagined."

"I don't pray for anything from him, so whether it's a superstar friendship or an ordinary person's friendship, it doesn't make much difference to me."
