[US Entertainment] Actor

After eating and resting, Lynn continued the unfinished topic in the car today - about Armani's posters and sales.In fact, Ebert himself really made a fuss. In Europe and the United States, it is normal to shoot this type of commercials, especially the underwear commercials of Armani and Kevin Klein. The male models and stars can wear nothing but a pair of underwear. Wear, if you are not very confident in your figure, the average male star will not have the courage to follow up.

He attributed this to the fact that he had just gotten off the plane and hadn't recovered yet. It is normal for him to be unable to calm down when he suddenly accepts the impact of certain images.

"Mr. Giorgio Armani is very satisfied with the sales you have driven. He has always admired you. Before that, the shareholders and executives in the Armani company agreed that it was a wrong decision to choose you as the spokesperson, but now, the facts have once again proved that George Mr. Armani's unique vision, and your excellence."

"There are also those posters you took." Lynn paused, "If Armani's member customers purchase a certain number of clothes, Armani will randomly give you a large poster and Armani perfume. Not many people pay attention to it, after all, it is a habit of many brands to give away posters, but after this event is launched, those women are crazy!"

"The store with the best business in Los Angeles has a long queue! Can you imagine? Although the buyers of the Armani denim series are regardless of gender, although women love shopping, they are often very restrained in price, but this Once, in addition to choosing suitable clothes for themselves, they also went to the men's clothing store with great fanfare to pick up clothes for their boyfriends and husbands. They asked for "Ebert's same style" as soon as they asked. In the end, almost all the women carried A big bag, I returned with a full load. According to insiders of Armani, although the store’s business is usually good, the sales in the past few days have almost increased by 300% compared to usual. Many people told me that Givenchy now regrets not choosing you as their spokesperson , after all, the first thing you wore was a Givenchy shirt."

Ebert listened patiently, biting the straw.

He loves to drink freshly squeezed juice, and the only advantage of being a rich man is that he can buy everything he wants.

After Lynn finished speaking, he closed his mouth and stopped talking. Ebert thought that there was only so much the manager wanted to say to him, so when he put down his glass and wanted to take out his mobile phone to watch the news for a while, the manager said nothing. It rang out again.

His tone was very hesitant and coy, and he opened his mouth several times, but he never said what he really wanted to say.

His expression was also very troubled.

"What do you want to say, you can say it directly." Ebert threw the empty glass into the sink, returned and sat patiently on the chair, ready to listen to Lynn.

"Your parents... called me today." Lin En pondered the appropriate words, "They told me that your younger brother has been admitted to a university, he is very good, many schools have approved his application, and he In the end, Columbia University in New York City was chosen."

"so……"

Columbia University is indeed one of the best universities in the United States, and his brother's admission to such a university really proves his excellence.In Ebert's limited memory, if his parents' feelings for him are described by the word indifference, their attitude towards his younger brother is completely opposite, which can be said to be doting.

"They want you to pay for him for the school year."

Columbia University is one of the universities with the most expensive tuition fees in the United States. The annual tuition fee plus accommodation fee is more than 6 US dollars. For the Dawson family, which is just an ordinary working family, the annual tuition fee is enough for their The standard of living is lowered by a notch.

For Ebert, $6 is really nothing. The key is that the only thing this family can give him is indifference. He doesn't know the mentality of those who have been hurt and gave without regrets, but he is not The God who saves the suffering and the world, he has no consciousness to help those who have hurt him.

"I don't know what happened between you and your parents. As an outsider, I don't have the right to comment, so this matter depends entirely on your opinion. You can do it if you want it, or you don't want to."

"You know, in Hollywood, there are a lot of bad relationships between children and parents. Macaulay Culkin's father used him as a cash cow, completely disregarding his feelings, Michael Jackson's father abused him when he was a child, Angelina Julie also has a bad relationship with the actor's father. So how can you choose only according to your own wishes, cause and effect are always accompanied, and people must pay the price for their actions, right?"

Ebert smiled slightly: "At least they are much better than those parents who never gave their children any love, but spread rumors and slandered their children's reputation in the media after their children became famous. Willing to do it."

Ebert still can't understand the reason why his parents are so indifferent to him. What's more, even though Ebert has made a certain reputation in Hollywood, they are so focused on drawing a line with him that they don't want to Anything to do with him seems to prove that they are not greedy for money.

The so-called reason that he doesn't look like his parents is so ridiculous that he can't even coax himself.

Maybe when he has time to sort out the family relationship, he will know the final answer.But for him now, none of that matters.

Ebert eventually came up with $[-] to pay for his younger brother's tuition, but instead of informing his parents, he told his younger brother, who had been on the Columbia campus for some time.He just told his younger brother that every penny is hard-won, and he hoped that he would not waste the opportunity to study and become a useful person to society.

The young man who had just turned 18 this year agreed with shame on his face, but what Ebert didn't expect was that starting from the spring of the second year, Lynn's account would be filled with several thousand dollars or less. For Ebert, the amount of several hundred dollars can be regarded as a kind of comfort.

In any case, such a self-respecting young man should not be a bad person.

"You seem to be a qualified brother, they are not qualified parents, but you are qualified."

Ebert smiled slightly: "I'm not very interested in becoming a qualified brother. My goal is to become an excellent actor, not just qualified."

"At this point, the demands of managers and artists are always the same."

After the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was completed, the time has passed from July to the end of October. During this period, Ebert took a full week of rest. In addition to understanding the various events that happened in Hollywood during the time he left Los Angeles In addition, they also pay close attention to the audition trend of "The Pentium Era".

Ebert has already received the audition notice from the crew, and he just needs to complete the audition on time as agreed. He is even more curious about the various rumors about Tobey Maguire and the crew of "The Pentium Era".

For a while, some media vowed to declare that the second cooperation between Toby and Gary Rose would eventually go bankrupt. Toby was willing to lower his salary, but his vampire agent was still engaged in a tug-of-war with Universal Pictures. Can't stand this broker's appetite.After a while, the media reported that Toby had signed the contract and was waiting at home to report to the group. He quickly changed his tone and said that the crew of "The Pentium Era" favored Christian Bale, thinking that this daring actor That's what the world really needs.

In short, the tone of the media changed too quickly, and Ebert couldn't react for a while.

The only thing that is certain is that Tobey Maguire has not made any agreement with the crew of "The Pentium Era", even if he is Gary Rose's favorite general, for the current Gary Rose, he has no right to decide A leading actor in a movie with an investment of 8000 million.In Hollywood, there are not many directors with this kind of authority. James Cameron can be counted as one, and Steven Spielberg can also be counted as one, because they can earn more money for the film company. dollars.

No company wants to fight money.

Thinking of this, Ebert couldn't help showing a playful smile.The directors of the three films he has starred in and is likely to star in, each started their film directing career in the 90s and achieved certain achievements, but starting next year, they will gradually become familiar to Hollywood.

Christopher Nolan, the future "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" established Nolan's status as a great god; the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series that will be released next year and the Oscar's best animated feature film "Lan "Gore" pushed the career of Gore Verbinski to the peak.Gary Ross, the director who started as a screenwriter currently only has one representative work, "Happy Valley". Gary Rose is known in Hollywood for the upcoming "Hunger Games" trilogy.

It can be said that if a rough calculation is made, these three directors have created an astonishing box office performance of about 90 billion US dollars at the box office.

Unfortunately, with Ebert's current strength and status, it is difficult for him to cooperate with those directors who are really popular. In the future, if he can reach the top of Hollywood, he will have more choices.

One day, when Ebert was cleaning at home, he received a call from Lynn. The agent's voice on the phone was so excited that Ebert could even hear his rapid breathing and "bang" There was a loud bang.

Needless to say, Mr. Broker must have hit the door.

Lynn told Ebert without panting: "There is a movie that invited you, do you know which one it is?"

"Which one?"

"Martin Scorsese's long-awaited project, The Aviator."

Ebert stood up from the sofa suddenly: "How is it possible?"
