[US Entertainment] Actor

It was difficult for Ebert to describe his mood at the moment.

It was as if a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, merging his soul, thoughts and desires all in one place at once.He originally thought that he didn't care about the Golden Globe Award this time. The reason was that he was too young, as the outside world said. The performance is too good...

The excuses were listed one by one, so clumsy that Ebert even deceived himself.

But when Sean Penn stood on the podium and narrated his feelings about winning the award, Ebert discovered that excuses are excuses after all, they are all deceitful!

He has always longed for awards, he longed for his performance to bring glory, he longed for himself to be able to defeat his opponents smartly and become the only king on the podium.

So at this moment, his heart was beating far faster than before, one sound after another.

There's no actor who doesn't crave awards, and Ebert in particular.

For actors who aspire to superstar status, awards are the best packaging. They don't have to be labeled as "idols" or "vases" day after day. Even if the career choice is still mainly commercial, but in From the audience's point of view, they are also capable and trustworthy actors.

Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz are arguably two of the brightest examples.Both of them are representatives of 2000 million high-paying actresses, and they are also good at romantic comedy movies. Julia is carefree, gentle and friendly, and Cameron is chic and sexy. The box office appeal of the two is comparable.

But after entering the new century, the situation quickly reversed.Julia won an Oscar for "Never Compromise", and her acting career has gradually broadened, but Cameron has never been nominated for an Oscar. The box office of the newly released "Charlie's Angels 2" was a disastrous failure at the box office, and she is no longer young It's not easy for the sweet Cameron to win among the fiercely competitive female star breakouts. Even if she chooses to switch, investors will exclude her because of her not-so-great acting skills.

The difference between an Oscar nomination and no nomination is like a catastrophe.

Ebert is determined to take the route of acting. If he can get nominated once, his path of acting will be much smoother.

When the best picture of the night was won by "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", Ebert was still absent-minded until the Golden Globes party started, and he had a little food to cheer up and attend the party The stars greeted each other.

He didn't forget Mark and Bradley's entrustment, and took the autograph book to ask the stars to sign one by one.

Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman... In just half an hour, he got the autographs of several big names in Hollywood. The best actor nominee and several superstar figures will naturally not be treated perfunctorily like ordinary fans. On the contrary, everyone praised Ebert's performance in "The Pentium Era" and wished him a good harvest in tomorrow's Oscar nominations .

"Why don't you ask me to sign it?" Just as Ebert was about to put away the autograph book, Johnny Depp walked towards him with a glass of wine, "Wow, Tom, Meryl, Jennifer... this This autographed copy should fetch a good price if sold on eBay."

"The premise is that it has Johnny Depp's signature." Ebert smiled. "Without Johnny's signature, it can only sell for $3000. If it has, it will only sell for $1."

As he spoke, he handed Johnny the autograph book.

Ebert's words were not entirely flattering.In fact, after "Pirates of the Caribbean" became popular in the summer and ranked second in last year's year-end box office list, Johnny Depp not only soared in value, but also became one of the most watched actors in the second half of last year .Although Johnny Depp has been in the front line before this, his image in movies is always weird, weird, and full of dark colors. It is the "Caribbean Movie" released last year that really made him so famous. pirate".

Although Johnny was nominated for only one Best Actor in a Comedy at the Golden Globes, the award was eventually won by Bill Murray, but at the party held after the awards ceremony, Johnny was the most watched in the audience character, he completely took away the light from Bill Murray.

Johnny smartly wrote two signatures on the autograph book: "Okay, now you have $1."

"What do you want from me? I just saw you chatting with two hot girls, one on the left and one on the right, Johnny, you look so chic!"

"Actually, they want to have a good night with me, and I'm considering whether to satisfy them." Johnny Depp blinked, showing a "Jack Sparrow" treacherous smile, "I It's not you, little virgin Ebert. We are old men after all. Those girls who want more resources and opportunities in Hollywood actually prefer young people like you, but you are too unreasonable. Just now There's another girl crying to me about your cruelty."

Ebert rolled his eyes helplessly: "Johnny, if you were my father, we might be able to talk about this topic in depth."

"I'm here to ask you what you think about tomorrow's Oscar nominations, aren't you nervous?"

"Nervous, but that's not something I can decide." Ebert took a sip of juice, "Sean Penn and Bill Murray will definitely occupy a spot, and for the others, I vote for Ben Kingsley." Ticket, next, Jack Nicholson?"

"I think you can have a vote." Johnny Depp sat on a chair beside him, "I have seen your performance in "The Pentium Age", it is perfect, you can occupy a seat, as long as the judges are not dead Stare at your age."

"Then I think you can also have a vote in exchange for equal value."

Johnny Depp then reached out and shook hands with Ebert: "The perfect answer, now we can announce the nominations for the 'Johnny-Ebert' Award, Sean Penn, Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Albert Dawson and Johnny Depp."

"If a reporter was lurking on the scene and heard our conversation, he would be crazy."

------

Perhaps inspired by his conversation with Johnny Depp, Ebert thought he would suffer from insomnia, but when he got out of the Golden Globes party, he just washed up casually and lay down on his stomach. I fell asleep on the bed in the dark, without even dreaming, and slept until noon the next day.

"Sigh, I didn't even have the dream of winning the best actor and reaching the pinnacle of my life." Ebert yawned big, rubbed his eyes, and took out his phone to check the results of the Oscar nominations.

When he saw the nomination list, he was almost stunned and rubbed his eyes desperately, almost turning them red.

But he didn't care at all, he was too surprised to speak.

Fuck!Do you want to be so accurate!He was in a hurry to take out his mobile phone to call Johnny Depp, and almost turned the quilt, pillows, and drawers upside down, when he suddenly remembered that he looked up the news on his mobile phone just now...

But also so amazing!It's like dreaming!

On the news that reported the Oscar nominations, the nominees for Best Actor were Sean Penn, Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Johnny Depp and... Albert Dawson !

Ebert threw away his cell phone, took off his shoes, and jumped up and down on the soft big bed.

Oscar winner nomination!

Oscar winner nomination!

He was about to cry out with excitement!

It wasn't until this time that Ebert realized that there seemed to be a bunch of missed calls on his mobile phone, including Lynn's, Leonardo's, Mark's, and of course the most Johnny Depp. Received 8 missed calls from him.

As soon as the call was made, Johnny's complaining voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ebert, you didn't sleep until now, did you? Oh God, I'm so dizzy until now, I dare not Believe it, did our thinking coincide with a certain big shot in the college at that time last night? It is simply too unexpected that something that was made up at random will come true! Ebert, I did two things today, you know What is it?"

"The first thing is to call you. The second thing is, I asked my assistant to spend thousands of dollars to buy lottery tickets. Maybe you will see the birth of a new billionaire!"

Ebert reminded: "But the final result was not guessed by the two of us together. Shouldn't I have a share in buying lottery tickets?"

"If the prize does not exceed $100 million, I can give you half of it, and that's it."

Ebert couldn't be happier with the news of his Oscar nomination, and so is Johnny Depp.

Standing out from a bunch of ideological and educational works in "Rage to Sea", "Cold Mountain" and "Lost in Translation" was nominated for an actor, which was never thought of by Johnny Depp before he took over the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" It was just a movie created by Disney for the promotion of Pirate Paradise. At the beginning of filming, Johnny received a lot of criticism, suspicion and criticism.

But it was this adventurous commercial blockbuster that made him nominated for Best Actor!

Johnny Depp, 41, couldn't believe it.

This is his first Oscar nomination since acting.Ebert was nominated for the first time, and he was also the first.

Johnny also has more ideas about his role as Jack Sparrow, maybe he is even better than he thought.

But in any case, he never thought that his first Oscar nomination was brought to him by a summer commercial blockbuster. His previous films such as "Edward Scissorhands" and "Ed Wood" brought him Plenty of accolades, but none of them landed him an Oscar.

He knew it was just a casual joke that Ebert thought he would get nominated too, and maybe it was, but when the nominations were announced and the dream came true, Johnny Depp hoped that Ebert's joke The more the better, at least he'll ask Ebert to predict ahead of time when he makes his next movie.
