[US Entertainment] Actor

Making movies will always give Ebert a feeling that there is no time in the mountains. When he returned to North America with all the crew members, the time had already transitioned to the 2004 summer vacation.

This is also his only summer file in the past few years without a movie being released.

Of course, the competition for summer slots is still as fierce as ever."Spider-Man 2" starring Tobey Maguire was released in June. Tobey originally planned to invite Ebert to the premiere, but due to Nolan's strict control over the actors, he had to give up.Leonardo was present. He lost a few pounds and successfully became a male god. Leonardo attracted the attention of all the female fans in the audience as soon as he appeared on the stage. The limelight even overshadowed the protagonist Tobey Maguire. The media also The next day's news headlines were widely reported, and soon, Leonardo's new look appeared in front of people across the United States.

In the words of a supermarket tabloid: "Although Leonardo's dressing taste is still so bad that people suspect that the purpose of finding so many model girlfriends is to improve this shortcoming, but when he appears in the audience as handsome as 7 years ago But we couldn't help cheering loudly, our Leo is back!"

American audiences have always had a goodwill love for Leonardo. They watched him grow from a little boy in "Growing Pains" to a real Hollywood superstar. Watching him grow up step by step feels like watching The children in my own family grew up silently.Whether Leonardo grew up to be a handsome blond boy or a young man with a beard and a slightly pouty belly, their affection for him has not changed.

As a good friend, Tobey Maguire is full of curiosity about the reasons for Leonardo's weight loss.In fact, although Toby is the most introverted and low-key in Leonardo's circle of friends, he is also the most observant and sensitive one.

After the premiere, Toby and Leonardo made an appointment to go to the bar for a few drinks. Toby directly pointed to the center of the question: "Is it related to Ebert?"

Leonardo's astonished and annoyed smile immediately made Toby understand everything.He looked at Leonardo with those big, watery Dobby-like eyes, and the index fingers of both hands suddenly stuck together: "I hope things are not as I imagined."

He thought that his friend would nod his head indifferently as usual, but Leonardo just raised his glass and clasped his fingers tightly against the edge of the table: "Toby, come drink."

But he kept silent about what his current state had to do with Ebert.

Toby watched helplessly as his best friend drank a glass of highly concentrated alcohol one after another, until the bar was closed, Toby helped the drunk Leonardo out.

On the way to send Leonardo back, Toby frowned tightly.Leonardo's poor state does not need any cover at all, what's worse, Toby can already vaguely guess what happened between Ebert and Leonardo.

There are usually only two reasons for a man to get drunk late at night, one is career and the other is emotion.In terms of career, Leonardo is definitely a model of young fame in Hollywood. Although the loss of awards made Leonardo full of worries, but from the average age of Oscar winners, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and others A lot of age also did not take into account various aspects such as Oscars. Leonardo still has more than ten years to fight.

As for emotions—this is what worries Toby the most.Ebert's excellent Toby has always had a very intuitive feeling. When he and Ebert were not familiar with each other, he would feel that this person was too cold and out of place, but when they gradually became friends, Toby felt He is a natural luminous body, he has a kind of charm that people fall into unconsciously.

Toby thinks anyone can fall in love with Ebert.But when that person became his most important friend, Toby felt that something was wrong.

The drunk and unconscious Leonardo beside him has fallen into a deep sleep.Toby sighed silently, and helplessly picked up Leonardo and carried him to the big bed upstairs, while turning on his cell phone and dialing Ebert's number.

As a mutual friend of the two of them, Toby felt a bit bitter.

Also engaged in the profession of an actor, Toby always felt that both Ebert and Leonardo were the best in the industry. Toby could clearly see how many exclamations Leonardo appeared at the premiere He had no doubts that Leonardo and Ebert would be such a shocker that the fans might blow the theater's ceiling.

Although that is just imagination, Toby has no doubt that this scene will happen in the future. After all, the news that Ebert will cooperate with Leonardo in "The Departed" is already a certainty.

The prospect of cooperation would be good, but if there was some kind of emotional connection between Leonardo and Ebert, Toby felt that it would be a very bad thing.

The impact of coming out on their careers will be fatal. Not only Toby knows, but he believes that Ebert and Leonardo also understand it very well.Leonardo is only 30 years old this year, and Ebert is only 24 years old. Compared with their long acting careers, they are both too young now, and their careers have just begun. Wrong decision, they may regret it for life.

Throwing a quilt onto Leonardo's stomach, Toby muttered softly about his bad luck.

Obviously today is the premiere of "Spider-Man 2". Although the first part of the series was a great success, Columbia also has good expectations for the second part of the series, but the result has not come out, and no one can guarantee the success of the film. The ending won't be a crash like "Tomb Raider 2" or "Charlie's Angels 2".

But now, when everyone is looking forward to the box office on the first day, he has to stay with a drunk to relieve his emotional problems.

Of course, as the confidant of Leonardo's every broken love and every emotional change, Toby is used to this miserable life.

After returning to North America, Ebert turned on his mobile phone and searched for the major news that happened in Hollywood in the past two months. As expected, Leonardo's success in losing weight and the hot summer movie battle became the focus of many media attention.

From the pictures in newspapers from May to August, it can be clearly seen how Leonardo lost weight bit by bit. At first, his small belly was still slightly obvious, and then his belly gradually became flattened. Gradually, the muscles in the waist and abdomen gradually appeared.

Ebert had experienced very strict physical training before filming "The Pentium Age" and "Batman Begins". He knew the hard work of the exercise, and he also admired Leonardo's perseverance.

He didn't know why Leonardo gritted his teeth and insisted. Although subconsciously he thought it should have something to do with the content of the phone call between the two, Ebert didn't want to think that way, it always made him feel a little bit An overwhelming feeling.

He also pays a lot of attention to this year's summer vacation - although he has no movies released this year, it is expected that "Batman Begins" will be released next year and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" will be released next year. He is a seed player for the summer season.

There is no doubt that "Spider-Man 2" will continue to maintain the good momentum of two years ago, and "Shrek", "Prisoner of Azkaban", "Bourne Shadow 2" and other films, although menacing, only one "Shrek" can be a deterrent to "Spider-Man 2".Looking at this year's summer schedule, although major film companies have released several blockbuster films, but in terms of competitiveness, this year's summer schedule is actually much less competitive than last year and the year before.Fox's "Doomsday" and Universal's "Bourne Shadow 2" did not even break 2 million at the box office. In the same period last year, "Finding Nemo" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" both broke 3 million early, and even hit the goal of 4 million. .

When receiving Toby's call, Ebert was stunned for a moment, pondered for a few seconds, and he chose to connect: "Toby?"

"Ebert, you haven't slept yet? I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but I have encountered a trouble..." Toby stammered, "There is a very troublesome guy here, he drank a lot of wine, It's hard for me to clean him up alone, I need your help."

Ebert usually went to bed early, but he read a few more news articles today, and exchanged some plots with Michael Caine, and it was getting dark before he knew it.He was in the half-asleep phase when Toby called, the haze of drowsiness being dispelled by the loud ringing of the phone.

After thinking for only three or four minutes, he simply put on a coat and walked to the door of Leonard's house.

It was Toby who opened the door with a face of shame.This guy was already a head shorter than Ebert, and he looked even smaller now that he poked out half of his head and looked up at Ebert.

During this period of time, in order to shoot Batman, Ebert's figure has also been exercised to be a bit thick, and the gap is particularly obvious compared with the thin Toby.

No wonder there are always movie fans on the Internet who affectionately call Toby "little spider", but Ebert has never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Ebert waved at Toby: "Good evening, Spiderman!"

Toby replies feebly: "Hey, Batman, good evening! Too bad I didn't take into account that we both took on superhero roles before I called you, and it's still the most influential Batman and Spider-Man." man."

"Sure enough, my ability to make friends is really bad. Leonardo makes me more than twenty troubles every year. As for you, oh, it's even more terrible. Half of my negative news is made by you."

"Sorry, Toby."

Toby waved his hand: "It's okay, after all, the worst hasn't happened yet, has it?"

The eyes of this actor, who has always been low-key, shy, and calm, are full of deep meaning. Ebert knows what his words mean, but it is difficult for him to respond to Toby at the moment.

He could only turn his head silently, pretending he didn't know anything: "Really?"

According to Toby's past habits, when he could say one less sentence, he would never say a second sentence. Silence is his habit, but it is also an excellent way to hide.

But today, Toby was so straightforward that Ebert didn't expect. His eyes, which were always clear, looked a little sharp at the moment. There was light in Toby's eyes: "Yes."
