[US Entertainment] Actor

Ebert's new assistant, Bruce, is a very energetic young man. He just passed his 8th birthday in August this year. He graduated from a not-so-famous college in New York. After graduation, he has been engaged in various complicated jobs in Hollywood.Working as an assistant for Ebert is his most formal job in the past three years. This young man is currently taking the qualification certificate for brokerage practice, hoping to become a successful star broker in the future.

Ebert bought himself a car after the audition for "The Pentium Era". This time he did not choose a local brand, but a new model from Mercedes-Benz. The price of this car is Inexpensive and low-key, just the right size for Bruce to take him to and from work.Although the previous Cadillac was good, as Ebert became more and more popular in Hollywood, that car had been tracked several times by reporters, both openly and secretly, and it was really not suitable for long-term riding.

That car simply became Lynn's exclusive car, and it was very convenient for the manager to drive it to do business.

Two days after the audition ended, Ebert hadn't received any calls from the crew of "The Pentium Era". He guessed that he should have lost the role of Rhett Pollard, although he felt a little unspeakably depressed. Ebert accepted the result calmly-of course, he still wanted to know who won the final victory.

Before dawn the next day, Ebert just got up and went to the kitchen to pour water for a drink, when the cell phone that was thrown on the quilt made a crisp ringing sound.Ebert yawned and slowly went to answer the phone. Just as he yelled a sleepy "Hello", a loud roar came from the other end of the phone, and Ebert was so shocked that he was only three minutes sleepy.

"Ebert, you're in the headlines!"

Ebert blinked desperately his eyelids that were trying to fall, and his tone was fluttering. His brain was empty for a few seconds before he remembered what Lynn said just now: "What's the reason this time?"

The casualness in his words choked Lynn's excitement back: "You don't seem to care much?"

Ebert blinked helplessly. Anyone who has been the focus of gossip tabloids for one year in a row will be immune to the headlines that other people can only dream of, right?

In fact, thanks to the powerful excavation ability of the gossip tabloids, Ebert will appear on the front page of the gossip tabloids almost every once in a while, which greatly increases his attention. Within half a year, it also raised $50 to $100 million—at least during this period, the crew that invited Ebert to play the role gave him around $500 million, and the highest one was even willing to offer him $800 million in remuneration. However, the script of that movie was really not very good. Even though he was tempted by the high salary, Lynn refused for Ebert without hesitation.

According to Lynn, after Ebert's salary rises to more than $1500 million, he will regret letting his resume be stained by making a bad movie for greedy money.

This is also the reason why Ebert has kept a low profile in his private life. Although he is not lacking in popularity, his foundation is a bit unstable with only one "White Night Chase" as his representative work. Before he has no effective works to prove his strength , Everything he has now is a castle in the air.Ebert also doesn't want to overdraw his popularity by over-hyping, that will only backfire.His goal is still to become a successful actor. Popularity and star aura are just a by-product of the success of an actor's career.

"Tell me what happened this time?"

This year, he has made headlines several times because of the box office performance of "White Night", the endorsement of Armani's commercials, and his appearance in Disney's big production "Pirates of the Caribbean". Now, unless the sky is falling or the end of the world is coming. No interest in anything.

"Well, what I'm going to say this time is a very interesting thing. Ebert, do you know you have a new nickname?"

"Stop being a joke, dear old man Lynn Hawke, it's only 5 o'clock in the morning, and you have seriously affected my rest. It's a kindness that I didn't run over to beat you up. Don't engage in these imaginary things , you know, you seem to be better at creating suspense and setting off the atmosphere than 50-year-old aunts, and your tone always reminds me of their opening remarks."

Lynn's voice suddenly became irritable: "I really doubt that you are only 21 years old. Well, let me tell you the truth. Didn't you win the lottery when you went to Milan this year? This matter I don’t know why it was dug up by the media, they think it’s just a matter of good luck! So, you have a new nickname - 'Lucky Ebert'."

"This is really a nickname that I don't know where to complain. It's vulgar, bloody, and full of superstitious colors..."

"Don't say that, at least it's very effective in Hollywood. Many stars insist on atheism, but they don't know how many dollars a year they donate to the sect. Some people even travel thousands of miles to the east just to find the so-called god. Guidance." Lynn continued, "The media doesn't think there is anything inappropriate about this nickname, they searched through all the news about you this year, and found direct evidence from you."

Ebert pretended to listen patiently, but covered his mouth with his hands and yawned silently one after another, with tears pooling in his eyes.

On the other end, Lynn is still in high spirits: "For example, you won the role of Harp in a competition with a bunch of people, and it drove the box office growth of "White Night Chaser". You endorsed the Armani denim series. The stores are selling like crazy, and even you are just a few photos taken on the street. Printing in magazines has driven the sales of magazines to increase. You went to "Saturday Night Live", and the ratings of the show Do you remember, oh, isn't all this evidence?"

"Don't forget your lost $5000, excited Mr. Broker."

"Of course I won't forget, lucky Mr. Albert Dawson. You know, I don't care about the weird name that the media puts on you, but the substantial benefits that such a claim can do us. Movie The company needs to make money, and people who advocate money are superstitious. As long as you are labeled as a steady profit in their eyes, you will get more opportunities than others. When choosing stars with similar conditions, They will prioritize you. As long as they believe that inviting you will bring them more luck, our goal will be achieved."

When Ebert came to his senses, he finally realized the effect of the name "Lucky Ebert" on him.

When he went for a morning jog in the park, the landlord, Mr. Johnson, greeted him enthusiastically: "Ebert, have you selected today's number? If you have selected it, please tell me, and I will follow you to buy."

"Lucky Ebert, when I ran into you in the morning, I knew I would have good luck today. Look!" Uncle Louis, the tailor, pointed triumphantly at the fish he just caught in the iron bucket. Several times the sky."

"Ebert, if you have no place to eat recently, you must come here!"

"Ebert, touch my hand, my playing cards need to feel your strength..."

So, in a short morning, Ebert received a box of small biscuits made by Mrs. Johnson, a pair of trousers from Uncle Louis, a half-month breakfast coupon from Aunt Mia, and blessings from almost the entire street.

For such a situation, Ebert was completely confused.

Back at the apartment, both Mark and Bradley made fun of Ebert about this incident. Mark even clenched his fists and pressed his chest funnyly, and then pressed Ebert's chest: "Very good, Ebert, Your luck has been passed on to me."

Ebert rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "Even if I pass it all on to you, I don't mind at all."

Although it annoyed him that everyone he knew and didn't know called him "Lucky Ebert," seeing his hands full of presents and thinking of the bright smiles on everyone's faces, Ebert Bert couldn't help but spread his hands. In fact, the facts are not as bad as he imagined.

According to Lynn's feedback, the number of emails inviting Ebert to participate in movies and talk shows in the past two days has obviously increased a lot more than usual, and there are even new works directed by Steven Spielberg. Of course, this It is impossible for a leading director to provide Ebert with a leading actor position, but a supporting actor with a heavy role will obviously not have any problems.

Ebert's luck didn't stop there.

In the afternoon, when Ebert was shutting himself in the room to write his movie-watching experience, a short and rapid ringing interrupted his thoughts, and he dragged a letter to the bottom of the paper, and Ebert put that Changed the letter, got up to answer the phone.

When he pressed the originally pitch-black screen to the normal interface, the name that lit up on the screen of the phone accompanied by the ringtone made Ebert hesitate a little, and finally he answered the phone.

This number belongs to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Ebert had stored Leonardo's number in his mobile phone for a long time, but he never took the initiative to call Leonardo, and Leonardo never called him. It is the first time, and Ebert will inevitably feel a little puzzled.

"Hi, I'm Albert Dawson."

"Wow, your tone sounds so formal. Let me introduce myself. I'm Leonardo DiCaprio. How are you doing?"

"not bad."

"Ebert, I have some news to tell you. You have been selected as the leading actor by the crew of "The Pentium Era."

"I haven't heard the news, there is no hint, how do you know?"

Leonardo's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "I have some inside information, I believe that the crew of "The Pentium Era" will call you soon, as a friend, I think it is necessary to let you know in advance This news. I am now in a bar in downtown Los Angeles, are you interested in coming to play, I have more news to tell you."

information?A trace of doubt flashed in Ebert's mind. He stared at his unfinished movie review for a moment, but his mouth moved subconsciously: "I'm sorry, Leo, I'm busy with other things now, thank you for the news , it's very important to me."

In a bar in the city center, Leonardo stared blankly at the hung up phone, and then spread his hands to a middle-aged man sitting opposite him: "Sorry, Matthew, I tried to ask him over , but he refused."

"Our Ebert is really hard to invite." An unnatural look flashed across the middle-aged man's face, "He even refused you."

"My face is not as big as you think."

This Mr. Matthew Horns is one of Leonardo's agents. He is calm, rational, and tough. He belongs to an agent who is both ambitious and scheming. He spent more than ten years becoming an agent. He is a well-known person in the world and a top executive of WME, but he seems to lack a little luck. Every first-line star who has worked with him for more than a certain period of time cannot stand his cold style and tough line. Kick him off completely.
