[US Entertainment] Actor

After the upsurge of the summer file dissipated, the time quickly transitioned to September of 2003.

Lynn worked hard for the leading role in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" for many days and finally got the result. Focus Pictures finally handed over the role to Ebert.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence - the future is bright, but the road is tortuous.

The process of fighting for the role of Joel can be described as full of twists and turns. There was a superstar who had a strong interest in the script of the movie before. If this person finally chooses to make this movie, I am afraid that there will be nothing for Ebert in the future.

"Who is he?" After listening to Mr. Manager's tongue-tied narration, Ebert couldn't help becoming interested in that superstar.

"Jim Carrey."

Albert suddenly realized.

In Hollywood, Jim Carrey is definitely one of the figures standing at the top of the pyramid. He is not like Leonardo DiCaprio who made it to the sky with "Titanic". It can be said that Jim Carrey is in Hollywood The status is accumulated through the box office of one film after another.He is recognized as one of the best actors in comedy and was the first member of the $2000 club in Hollywood. In 1995, when he starred in the action movie "Batman Forever", he got the high price that many actors still look up to today. .

When Ebert was a child, he was even intimidated by the green head and grim expression of Jim Carrey's "Grandmaid in disguise".

It has to be said that Jim Carrey is a natural comedian.When his expression is silent, he is a handsome actor with a sunny look. He is not outstanding in Hollywood, a place full of handsome men and beautiful women, but when he opens his mouth and makes various funny expressions, it makes people laugh At that time, he was the only eye-catching star in the audience's perspective.

1994 was an important year for the production of masterpieces in the world film industry. In that year, Hollywood produced film history classics such as "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction", and "The Lion King". In the fierce North American box office rankings, "Ghost in Masquerade", which cost only US$1800 million, defeated strong opponents one after another, and ranked in the top ten with a box office score of US$1 million. Carrey and Cameron Diaz are two newcomers in the film industry.

Jim Carrey's previous salary was only $35, and this figure quickly rose to $700 million after the film was released.

In 94, in addition to "Ghost in disguise", "Dumb and Dumber" starring Jim Carrey also achieved a box office record of more than 1 million US dollars. " and other films have box office over 2000 million, which also consolidated Jim Carrey's position in comedy movies.

This period of time can be regarded as a transition period for Jim Carrey. In 98, he starred in a fairly classic "The Truman Show", which won him the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in the coming year.

Of course, despite turning some of his energy to feature films, Jim Carrey's strength in comedy is still not to be underestimated. This summer, he co-starred with Jennifer Aniston and Morgan Freeman in "The Fake God". The box office grossed $2 million in North America.

If Jim Carrey was going to have a hand in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ebert's odds of winning were...zero.

As cruel as it is, this is reality.

Now Ebert has to re-examine what the North American media calls him.

Although the name "Lucky Ebert" is a bit vulgar, sometimes even as an atheist, Ebert still feels the magic of fate.

The successful audition of "White Night" is due to the staff's mistakes, the success of "The Pentium Age" is thanks to Tobey Maguire's vampire agent. As for this "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", no matter Kim Ebert would be grateful to him from the bottom of his heart for whatever reason Carrey gave up acting.

"So, the only role I got based on my strength is the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean"!"

It sounds ridiculous.The role of Will Turner, who was considered by film critics to be the least outstanding of all Ebert's performances, was actually traded by Ebert on his own strength.

Ebert's frustrated expression with drooping ears was very glaring to the manager, and he slapped Ebert's head with a slap: "If you don't have the strength, even if Tobey Maguire and Jim Carrey chose to give up, and no one would think of you, so stupid!"

Ebert gave him a middle finger in his heart.Although he knew that Lynn's statement was not wrong at all, there was no 0.01% chance of him admitting that he was stupid!

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is scheduled to start filming in early October, and the crew also announced the list of actors before filming begins.

The actor Albert Dawson, the actress Kate Winslet, also participated in the "Spider Woman" Kirsten Dunst, and Elijah Wood, who played the central role in "The Lord of the Rings".

As soon as this list came out, the whole United States was in an uproar!

Those media who just laughed at Ebert's defeat in the "Aviator" competition not long ago were all dumbfounded. You must know that one of the main reasons they criticized Ebert was that with his current position, he was very difficult. Got Cate Blanchett and Kate Beckinsale.

But Ebert still met a Kate.

Kate Winslet!In terms of status, she is much better than Cate Blanchett. Who would think that the only heroine of "Titanic" is not the first-line!Kate Winslet's acting skills are also recognized as excellent. Since "Sense and Sensibility" in 1995, she has been nominated for three Oscars, and she even became the youngest two-time nominee in Oscar history.

The media can only complain endlessly: "Why do actresses in the Commonwealth like to use the name 'Kate', one Kate after another, which makes people's heads dizzy."

They just didn't want to admit the fact that they laughed at Ebert too much some time ago, and their faces were swollen when the list of actors was announced.

Now they say it sourly: "Ebert Dawson is lucky to always be able to work with Al Pacino, Hilary Swank, Jeff Bridges and other actors. Hopefully our Ebert can learn something from these fine actors and save his fans from feeling ashamed of him when the finished film comes out."

But for Ebert, such an actor configuration is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

He is very clear that all of this is brought about by his excellent performance in "The Pentium Era". Without the backing of the box office of more than 1 million US dollars and the praise of professionals, it would be difficult for him to receive the award of "A Beautiful Mind". Movies like Eternal Sunshine.

Before the filming of the film started, Ebert had already prepared dozens of shooting plans just around the corner.

After all, the crew of "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" are all young people, the oldest Kate Winslet is 28 years old, Ebert is 23 years old, Elijah Wood and Kirsten Dunst are 1 year younger than him respectively And 2 years old, one is 22 years old this year, and the other is only 21 years old.

Among the actors, Ebert has the least acting experience.

Both Elijah Wood and Kirsten Dunst were born as child stars. Wood has filmed more than 20 films so far. Dunst is a natural actor. "The outstanding performance in " won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination.

No wonder the media questioned Ebert's role as the leading actor!

However, Ebert is not a character who likes to admit defeat. He has never been afraid of Al Pacino. Kate Winslet is indeed one of the best young actors in Hollywood. He will take the initiative to admit defeat at the beginning.

On this day, Ebert was weeding his lawn with a lawn mower, when a tall and thin head popped up from outside the fence. When the man found that Ebert had noticed him, he couldn't help covering his face, embarrassed Said: "I just noticed the sound of the lawn mower, I think you should have moved in..."

Finding that no matter how much he tried to explain, he couldn't explain the fact that he climbed the wall on his own initiative, the man's face became even more embarrassed, and his tone stammered a bit: "Sorry..."

Ebert thought that this kind of thing could only be done by Leonardo, but now, he found that Tobey Maguire is indeed his best comrade in arms who can wear a pair of pants, and the behavior of "climbing the wall" is far beyond Ebert's perception of Tobey Maguire.

Of course Maguire would not admit that he was here to spy on the enemy.

To be precise, a bunch of their friends had dinner and gambled, and those who lost had to run over to see the identity of their new neighbors.

In short, those who can buy a villa in Beverly are big stars and agents with a lot of money. No matter who it is, Tobey Maguire can always recognize his identity.

Tobey Maguire couldn't help complaining about the little partner who forced him to come here. After all, under the hype of the media, Tobey Maguire and Ebert are basically in a relationship, even if they are both A good friend of Leonardo.

"Like love, there is no room for a third person in the world of friendship."

Tobey Maguire had the urge to vomit at the thought of the disgusting tone in which the media wrote this disgusting sentence.

As everyone knows, when Tobey Maguire secretly complained, Ebert also thought of those media reports that were afraid of chaos in the world.

"Albert Dawson must be the nemesis of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire's gay friends, and he is in the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" Simultaneously with 'Jack''s 'Rose', 'Peter''s 'Mary', and especially poor Toby, who not only lost his role in The Age of Rise to Albert Dawson, even though he became The heroic and invincible Spider-Man, his girlfriend was snatched away by Albert Dawson!"

In fact, in the new movie, Ebert and Kirsten Dunst don't play a couple at all.
