[US Entertainment] Actor

The moment the first rays of sunlight hit the ground on Saturday morning, Uncle Johnson followed his usual biological clock and got out of bed.Saying good morning to his beloved wife, after dressing and washing, he went downstairs for a walk in the park not far away. This has always been his habit. Serve breakfast for him, and the two of them will discuss today's plan together.

He has spent almost every day in this way since he retired, and today is certainly no exception.

It was quiet downstairs when he went out, which made him feel very comfortable.This kind of clean atmosphere cannot be enjoyed on weekdays. Young people are busy going out to work and noisy in the early morning. Only weekends are the paradise for the elderly.

After running, Uncle Johnson bought a few newspapers at the newsstand on the corner as usual—including political newspapers that record national developments, as well as street tabloids that people like to see. This is Los Angeles after all, and Beverly Hills is far from This is not far away. Even if the residents living here are over 50 years old, they have a lot of news about Hollywood stars in their hands, and Uncle Johnson is naturally the same.Several of his tenants are now big-name Hollywood A-listers, such as Julia Roberts, who recently entered the $2000 million club.Albert Dawson, who is renting his house now, is not bad. Uncle Johnson likes that humble and polite young man very much, and he is very optimistic about his future.

"Today's news is..." Opening the inside pages of the newspaper, slowly taking out reading glasses from his pocket, Johnson muttered softly as he walked home, but soon his footsteps stopped, full of A look of bewilderment suddenly appeared on the wrinkled face, "How could it be, how could it be?" Johnson read the newspaper over and over again, and his fingers almost crumpled the flat newspaper into a ball.The old man stood there and thought for a while, then decided to walk home quickly and tell his wife the news.

On the newspaper that Uncle Johnson was clutching tightly, there was a very eye-catching headline-"Ebert Dawson fell from his horse".

Ebert Dawson is Uncle Johnson's most satisfied tenant. The young man is hardworking and polite. Even though he has become a well-known star in Hollywood during this period, Ebert has not changed his attitude towards the landlord, Uncle Johnson, and the surrounding neighbors. Johnson and his wife also received woolen scarves and gloves from Ebert in the fall!The most important thing is that Ebert has no plans to move out now, although Johnson knows that day is not far away, and the last producer hurriedly moved out of the apartment as soon as he hitched up with the last producer, and proudly showed his love for him. Compared with the disdainful girl renting a house, Ebert is simply an angel sent by God!

Johnson once thought silently that Ebert, who had no backer, had gradually become a well-known figure in Hollywood within a year, but the former lady tenant was still a member of the unknown army.It can be seen that even if you have a good face and a strong background, if you lose your mind, you can't live in Hollywood for a long time.

Even though the media swear by the truth of the news, as a native of Los Angeles, Uncle Johnson is well aware of the nasty nature of some media's postings.In short, he couldn't believe that such a terrible thing would happen to Ebert!After questioning the authenticity of the news with his wife at home, Johnson simply picked up the phone and dialed Ebert's number. Soon, the call was connected, and Uncle Johnson's face suddenly showed a gleam of joy. He shouted happily : "Thank God, Ebert, you finally answered the phone, what was written in the newspaper should be fake news..."

"I'm Ebert's agent, Lynn Hawke, Mr. Johnson. Ebert was injured a little and is still recuperating..."

"Really?" The landlady's tone immediately became depressed, "It's a pity."

After hanging up the phone, Lin En rubbed his sore forehead and sighed silently.He was the first one to know that Ebert was injured. The moment he received the news, he immediately drove to the hospital. The moment he entered the door, he saw his handsome artist with gauze on his face , A pitiful little girl with a plaster cast on her arm—a handsome face is still handsome even if it is injured. The first sentence that came to the mind of Mr. Manager turned out to be this, and he couldn't help expressing complete disdain for his own psychology.

Of course, Lynn who received the call suddenly didn't know how serious Ebert's injury was. Seeing his appearance at the moment, the manager couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Ebert looked fine, as if The injury wasn't particularly serious.

Lynn also had a car accident when he was around 30 years old, and he recovered after resting for half a year. Seeing the arm fractures and bruises on Ebert's case sheet, his tension relaxed down.

Worse still, Ebert was left alone in the hospital anyway. Although the crew of "The Pentium Era" promised him that he would go back to shoot after he recovered from his injury, Lynn is very familiar with the routine used by the crew. Such things as being injured and changing roles in the middle are not uncommon in Hollywood, not to mention Universal Pictures. At the beginning, he was not particularly satisfied with Ebert playing the leading role in the movie, and the public opinion from the outside world was also unfavorable to Ebert.Besides, although it is only a minor injury such as a fracture and a bruise, it is still unknown whether Ebert can return to the good condition he had when he first shot.

Thinking of this, Lynn glanced at Ebert worriedly.

If Universal really planned to do something as bad as changing roles, would Ebert be able to bear it?

Ebert's neck moved, he kicked the bed with his feet, and motioned Lynn to sit by his bed with his eyes: "Are you worried about my role? To be honest, Mr. Lynn Hawke, The look in your eyes just now made me very uncomfortable, it looked like... I was dying."

"Sorry Ebert, I was just thinking about something."

"For example, will I be replaced by the crew of "The Pentium Era"? Don't be silly Lynn, they need me now." Lynn put a soft cushion on Ebert's back so that Ebert could Take it easy, "This is a pair of hands born for acting. Even if it hurts, it can help me become the best actor. You also know how long and how hard I trained for this movie, Instead of finding another male lead now and wasting more time on horse racing, boxing and fitness training, it is better to identify me from beginning to end."

"No matter how dissatisfied I am, the film company is born to be good at calculating accounts. Think about the time wasted now. If they are willing to wait, they may only waste a few million dollars in investment, but changing the protagonist? They are not so stupid !"

Although the media deliberately exaggerated his injuries for the purpose of expanding sales, the doctor has emphasized that Ebert is only slightly fractured and bruised, and the crew of "The Pentium Era" can still afford the short recovery time.

Having said that, perhaps because the media exaggerated too much, they deliberately used the photo of Ebert falling to the ground as an accompanying picture, and also emphasized the huge harm that may be caused by falling from the horse. From this, it can be inferred that Ebert Te may lose his position as the leading man in "The Pentium Era", and some media even speculate that he may spend his future in a wheelchair. After all, from the bluffing photo, Ebert's painful expression at that moment is You can't fool anyone.

Lynn received more than 50 calls in one morning, including friends who were familiar with Ebert, such as Mark and Uncle Johnson, as well as some people who were interested in inviting Ebert to make a movie, but now they automatically backed down.Mr. Broker can only deny all kinds of speculations in as gentle a tone as possible, even though in the eyes of many malicious people, he is just gritting his teeth.

"Fuck! These disgusting shit, god damn bastards!" Lynn cursed in a low voice, "Do you know who I just got a call from? Some guy from the Endeavor Elite Company who has been competing with me, he hopes You can snatch a ticket for next year's fashion week from me, oh, they actually think you're really dead, look at that hypocritical tone!"

"I think it's okay. Now that the media has muddied the water, the outside world is full of speculation about me. If they find out that I'm recovering well and can start filming soon, what do you think they will think?"

The picture of him working left and right and desperately slapping his face made the agent grin, revealing his jagged teeth.

In fact, Ebert is quite stable here. Although many reporters tracked down the hospital to try to understand his real situation, they were decisively blocked by the bodyguards arranged by Lynn.Compared to Ebert, Gary Rose is the one who is really battered.

The crew of "The Pentium Era" has been in a low-pressure atmosphere since Ebert fell off the horse, and the overwhelming reports of the gossip tabloids made Gary Rose full of anger.Mr. Director thought that his act of getting rid of Leslie Pope would be a warning to some sneaky guys, but who knew it didn't work at all!

If it wasn't leaked by someone inside the crew, how could the reporters get the photos of the scene where Ebert fell off the horse?

No matter who it is, if they dare to do this, they have completely ignored the authority of the director!Gary Rose is a nice guy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper.Many audiences and even actors now have a misunderstanding of the profession of directors. In their eyes, if a director is not individual enough, he is often not a successful director. Gary Rose is also classified into this category by many people. , Their basis is that the director has only one masterpiece "Happy Valley" so far, and this movie obviously did not achieve a blockbuster effect.

This is a complete misunderstanding.In Hollywood, although the director's authority is restricted by producers and film companies, the director's control over the crew and script is necessary during the filming process. Although Gary Rose has only made one film , but a lot of experience in screenwriting is enough for him to understand the problems existing in each crew. From the very beginning, he had full control over the crew of "The Pentium Era".

When the filming was calm, Gary Rose might still have the energy to spare those guys who wantonly leaked the crew's privacy, but this time, the impact of Ebert's fall made Gary Rose angry, and he simply After thoroughly investigating the photographer of that photo, he directly took out the contract signed before the shooting and handed that guy over to the court.

One thing is for sure, no matter what the final outcome of this case, this guy will not get any employment from Hollywood from now on.

After five days in the hospital, Ebert welcomed a mysterious guest one afternoon.

Ebert was almost taken aback when the guy in a cowboy hat with a thick, nauseating black beard stuck to his chin appeared in the ward.When the weird Mr. wiped out all the disguises and revealed his true colors, Ebert couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "I finally know why my sight can poke you when we first meet No hole recognizes your reason."

"People wrapped in gauze had better not roll their eyes, otherwise your whole face will be white, which is scary." The person who came was Leonardo DiCaprio, standing opposite the bed, I looked Ebert up and down, "You don't seem to be seriously injured, but why did the media describe you as about to be disabled? I thought they might have a little bit of integrity in this matter. "

That's because you haven't seen the scene where the National Enquirer puts the posthumous portrait of the diva Whitney Houston on its cover after her death, Ebert murmured softly.

Tabloid morals have been thoroughly sold on sales and dollars.

"It's all about sales. I think one day, if the audience wants it, they're even willing to give away nude photos of their editors."

The morals of the tabloids are obviously a good starting point for the topic, and Leonardo joined the complaint with righteous indignation: "Who would want to see a nude photo of a 50-year-old uncle with a fat head? This analogy makes me want to throw up. But During the period when I was being chased by reporters the most, I really thought about organizing an anti-paparazzi alliance, but what's the use of exposing those guys, maybe they will become celebrities invited by various talk shows as soon as they turn around Already!"
