[US Entertainment] Actor

Ebert was distracted by the noisy sound of the decoration, so he simply carried the kettle to the yard to water the flower beds. When he finished half of his work, when he looked up, Leonardo and Tobey Maguire were on the scene. Standing by the courtyard gate, he looked at him with a half-smile.

This scene is vaguely familiar, Ebert thought to himself, just like when he was cleaning the lawn, he suddenly found an extra head on the wall.

"Why are you here?"

Leonardo didn't answer Ebert's question in time. He put his hands in his pockets and patrolled the villa regardless of the presence of Ebert's master. He didn't even let Ebert's bedroom go. However, he slowly flipped through Ebert's script and looked at it twice, and then went to study Ebert's newly installed door after a while, his eyes were not idle for a moment.

"Leo, have you changed your career to join the Los Angeles Police Department? You are more sensitive than a professionally trained police dog!" Seeing that Leonardo had collected several collections of DVDs at once, Ebert silently flipped through the Rolling eyes, "Are you going to pay it back? As God bears witness, I don't trust your credibility at all."

Compared with Leonardo, who was unceremonious on his first visit, Toby, who has come here for the second time, is much more reserved. He has not said a word since just now, and it seems that he is purely here to be Leonardo. Seeing Ebert looking at him, he just showed a shy smile, coupled with that innocent baby face, he is simply a very lovable young man.

No wonder "Spider-Man" fans call him "the best Spider-Man ever".

Toby was still entertained with the British classic black tea presented by Keira Knightley and the small snacks that Mark sent some time ago. Toby thanked Ebert while tasting, but Leonardo collected a bunch of DVDs and After the film review collection, the guy found out that Toby was already sitting there leisurely eating snacks.

He couldn't help frowning slightly: "Why do you only entertain Toby and not me? Am I not your guest?"

Ebert raised his eyebrows and pointed to the pile of spoils in his hand: "I thought you were here to rob."

Leonardo could only grit his teeth silently: "Ebert!"

Ebert poured him a cup of tea and asked, "So what are you here for? Leo, don't you just want to grab a bunch of DVDs and have a cup of tea before leaving? Then I'm afraid I'll never dare You opened the door."

Leonardo showed a mysterious smile.

Toby was more honest than his friends: "We heard that you were not in a good mood after the Academy Awards, so we plan to come and see you. Ebert, although you lost to Pan in the competition for best actor, your performance That's great, the Oscars will always honor you."

"Thank you, Toby."

"Thank you too, Leo." Ebert smiled. "In fact, I have more fighting spirit than most of the past, and a failure can motivate me to move forward. Leo, Toby, after a while The time is the premiere of my new movie, are you interested in attending?"

Tobey Maguire immediately agreed.Leonardo nodded first, then looked at Ebert with a trace of curiosity: "Do you have a good relationship with Johnny?"

"of course."

"Wow! Very good!" Leonardo yelled strangely, "Johnny is indeed a nice guy, but his attitude towards women is a little more casual..."

Leonardo was only halfway through speaking, and Tobey Maguire and Ebert stared at him with a strange look.

The famous Hollywood playboy touched his nose, with an unavoidable look of embarrassment on his face.

But Ebert remembered at this time that Leonardo and Gisele Bundchen didn't seem to have had any scandals since they broke up, and in the memory of Ebert's previous life, he and Leonardo were on the same side The young models in the show are popping up one after another. If he is not more disciplined, he can get used to the little sisters born after 00.

After all, the temptation of first-line superstars and Oscar winners cannot be resisted by young models who are eager to become famous. As long as they ride together in public, or apply cool oil on the beach in Malibu, their next appearance will be worth a lot. Five times ten times, oh, there is nothing more wonderful than this.

Has Leonardo changed his gender?

Ebert never thought that his good friend had integrity. He changed girlfriends faster than his body. Fortunately, he had not finished filming "The Aviator" recently, and his body hadn't changed yet. Out of shape to the point of being scary.

"Actually, Martin has a new script, an adaptation of a Hong Kong movie. I'm very interested. I want to know if you are interested in cooperating with me."

Ebert frowned and pondered for a while: "Is it "Infernal Affairs"? I've heard of it, but Martin and Warner Bros. may not be interested in me. They have already rejected me once."

"Everything has changed." Leonardo explained, "You can now fully meet the needs of Warner Bros. and Martin. They need you to save the movie's box office. The gimmick of the Oscar's youngest actor nominee is also enough. There was a lot of hype in the media for the film."

"I just hope that if they invite you, you can consider taking this script."

Tobey Maguire looks at Leonardo: "What type of script? Can I play it?"

Leonardo shook his head: "Toby, you are an obedient card, not suitable for the role in this movie."

"Infernal Affairs" is a Hong Kong film classic.Although Martin Scorsese's adaptation of "The Departed" won him the coveted Oscar for Best Director, it is far inferior to the original version in terms of the strength of the adaptation and the depth of the work.

However, Ebert thinks that this movie can be considered. After all, the role creation of policemen and undercover agents is still very challenging. There are schedules.

Although Ebert has no filming plans for the time being after the Oscars, his work schedule is always full. He rejected all possible shirkable activities and worthless endorsements, but other than that, he still There were plenty of offers he couldn't, and couldn't, refuse.

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" has been scheduled for mid-to-late March, and Kate Winslet and Kirsten Dunst have already started promoting the film in other cities across the United States-although the film's low cost is doomed It is impossible to spend tens of millions of dollars in publicity expenses like a big-budget movie, but the crew, from director Michel Gondry to several leading actors, have invested all their energy.

Ebert is no exception.

The publicity platform that Lynn and Endeavor Elite won for him this time is "Oprah's Talk Show".

Oprah Winfrey and Ebert had already met at the Oscars, and they had a brief exchange, but after just a few minutes of pleasantries, Ebert realized why this unattractive woman Can always occupy the leading position in the talk show industry, why can she become an important figure in the ever-changing Hollywood power list.

She really knows how to use the power of language. From Ebert's rebirth to the present, Oprah Winfrey is the only character he has ever seen who can conquer people with words.

Oprah's success is also related to her childhood experience, which has become an inspirational manual that almost every young American must memorize.Regardless of whether there are false elements in Oprah's story, there is no doubt that she must have experienced many twists and turns to achieve her current status. From a poor woman with nothing to today's talk show queen, this is not something ordinary people can do. did it.

Oprah Winfrey has even become an important symbol of American culture.

The manager was very excited about Ebert being on the "Oprah Show", but Leonardo dismissed it: "I know that woman, she is a ruthless character. She can always find a way to let People unknowingly agree with her point of view, and she imagines herself as the spokesperson of the disadvantaged groups, and she can always mobilize those weak women and children when other people's views are contrary to her."

"Oprah Winfrey is invited to the Oscars and other important galas every year, but what has she done for the development of the industry? She has done nothing but can enjoy a higher status, while the abuse and insults suffered by the stars have not It won't happen to her." Leonardo snorted coldly, "Her talk show is indeed famous, but who made her famous. Michael Jackson, or other people who can make her get attention?"

"You don't sound like you like her very much, but everyone around me is admiring her, and you seem to have been on her show, and I haven't heard that you have an aversion to her."

"That's because I don't want to be branded as a racist." Leonardo sighed, "There is nothing to worry about. Oprah doesn't care too much about a character who is too young in her eyes. She More concerned about Democrats and Republicans politicians, or important people on the Hollywood power list. In fact, the maturity of many other talk shows has become a threat to "The Oprah Show", and she has to invite some young actors to attract more. Many different types of audiences."

After the conversation with Leonardo, Ebert relayed his warning to Mr. Broker, but he only told Lynn that it was his own concern and did not mention Leonardo.

Lynn patted him on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter what kind of person Oprah is, what matters is how much publicity this show can bring you. The main purpose of your participation in the show is to promote the movie. If If she asks too many personal questions and affects the publicity of the film itself, Focus Features will fight for your rights."

"Ah."

"Oh, by the way, Ebert, I have something to tell you. Endeavor Elite has prepared a new contract for you. The contract is completely in accordance with the standards of the first-line star's agency agreement. In addition, according to the requirements of the contract , you can have an exclusive makeup artist, public relations person in charge, stylist... Oh, in short, they are all the best industry elites that Endeavor Elite has worked with so far, and you can use them first."
