[US Entertainment] Wild Child

The alcohol and tobacco consumption of men with children has dropped to an extremely low level, but on the other hand, they have achieved the goal of health-life.

Summer also rarely smokes now.

After Alexandria’s full moon, she went for a subcutaneous implanted contraceptive capsule again, but this time the body’s reaction to the implant was more intense, and there was always intermittent bleeding, so she had to take it out in less than 3 months, and after another half a year, she tried again. Implantation, this time changed to another company's product, so far the adaptation is pretty good.

After subcutaneous implantation, smoking will greatly increase the probability of thrombosis, so I have to quit smoking and go to the hospital for a routine physical examination every quarter.

Summer complained that the task of childbearing is basically only related to women, and men are only responsible for the production of sperm. The difference between the sexes is huge, which is really unscientific and unfair. He said again that he would not consider a second child.

Leonardo now has Alexander and has no thoughts about a second child for the time being.After all, one child in Alexander is enough to occupy all his spare time, and another child may not even have time to sleep.

Neither of them has a movie released this year, so they have nothing to do during the awards season, so they can focus on raising their children, live a comfortable life in New York for two months, stay away from the bright lights of Hollywood, and go to supermarkets and children's playgrounds like ordinary couples Occasionally go to Broadway shows.

Clark also loved the goddaughter's children and sent Alexander a bunch of toys.If Summer wanted to go out with Leonardo to see a show, he sent the child to Clark's apartment.

One day when Alexander was 15 months old, he was finally able to walk a few steps without support.

The excited father yelled, asking Summer to come and see him quickly.

The little guy moved his calves and legs steadily, opened his arms, walked a few steps away from his father, and walked into his mother's arms.He threw himself into his mother's arms and laughed happily.

"My baby is amazing!" Summer quickly praised him, "He learned to walk so quickly." He kissed his little face.The little man was also very proud, shouting "mama", with a small look of "I'm really amazing".

Once he learned to walk steadily, he made rapid progress. By the time he returned to Los Angeles in early March, Alexander could walk several meters alone without falling.

But I also quickly learned to be lazy, and I will turn back after walking for a long time, asking my parents to hug him, and usually my father hugs him more, so the little guy is very close to his father, and he has a preference for something. find dad.

Samo is so angry, "Little white-eyed wolf!"

Leonardo smiled at her while holding the child, "Don't be angry."

She said with disgust, "throw him away."

"How can it be? Our baby is so cute. You see, he knows that he loves you, and he is afraid that you will be too tired to hold him, so he always asks me to hold him. Look, don't you?"

This is so eloquent!

Summer decided to forgive the bear boy.

After returning to Los Angeles, there were more meetings, parties, and invitations to auditions.Summer started taking a break in September last year and had no new job for half a year. He had been reading scripts all the time, but he couldn't find a suitable project.

Last year, Sandra Bullock's production company dropped a script about a female boxer based on a short story written by a boxing trainer, but the script was generally considered lacking in drama and the ending was not enough for the American Dream. The production company did not find a suitable director.

Producer Albert Rudy then passed the script on to Clint Eastwood.

After reading the script, Eastwood thought it was too dark, but it was a perfect story. At first he wanted to find someone else to direct, but later changed his mind and decided to direct it himself, and played the male lead, a boxing trainer.

But even after he decided to star and direct, the process of finding a production company willing to invest was still very difficult, until the manager of Harbor Films transferred the script to Summer Brook.

Now, the development rights of this script belong to the merged Appian Way Productions and Eastwood's Malpaso Productions. Dennis' investment company serves as the behind-the-scenes capital with a budget of 3000 million US dollars. North American and global distribution rights are being negotiated with Warner Bros. industry negotiations.

Eastwood started looking for an actress to play female boxer Margaret "Maggie", he wanted a "less beautiful" actress, but preferably with box office appeal, felt that Summer had a box office appeal It's okay, but maybe it's a little too beautiful.

Summer complained quite a bit, and complained to Leonardo, "You guys are really interesting, and you want beautiful actresses who can carry the box office, but you don't think they are too beautiful to fit the role. That's why there are beautiful actresses who have to gain weight and dress up. Ugliness is the pathetic thing that can be seen by the judges of the academy awards."

She was talking about Charlize Theron, who starred in "Monster" last year. Charlize, the South African diamond, had to gain 30 pounds, shave off her eyebrows, wear false teeth, and completely turn herself into an ugly woman to be able to play. Let the judges see her acting skills.This film is directed by Patty Jenkins, the director of "Girl with a Pearl Earring". The budget of 800 million US dollars can be said to be very frugal and careful. Harbor Films contributed 500 million, and the other 300 million was paid by Charlize himself.

The film was a box office success, first premiered at the AFI Film Festival last November, followed by a week of limited screenings, and officially opened in North America on the first weekend of January 11, with distribution handed over to An independent distribution label owned by Disney, which is drawn on the scale of more than 2004 movie theaters, because Charlize Theron was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the end of December, the North American box office exceeded 1 in the second week. 1000, breaking 12 million in 1000 weeks;

After Charlize won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, the number of theaters showing it increased to 1500; at the end of January, she was nominated for Best Actress in the 1th Oscar, which was her first Oscar nomination.

This year's Best Actress nomination list has New Zealand actress Keisha Cather-Hughes, who is only 13 years old and 290 days old, breaking Sam's record of being the youngest actress nominee for 6 years.

This year's awards season, Charlize Theron is coming aggressively. The brokerage company and public relations company have made great efforts to promote her. The Golden Globe has already started, and she is also determined to win the Oscar.Film critics also overwhelmingly praised her acting skills as "amazing and vivid", and received rave reviews.

In addition, Patty Jenkins has once again been noticed by many people in the industry. Her debut feature film "Girl with a Pearl Earring" made Summer Brook nominated for a Golden Globe Award. It sent Charlize Theron to the Oscar nomination list. In terms of professional quality, she can control the cost very well, and let the actors perform beyond acting skills. The box office is also very good. The production company will really like it That kind of director.

At the Oscar Awards Ceremony on February 2, Charlize won the Oscar for Best Actress with the momentum of sweeping the army, even though "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" won 29 awards with 11 nominations. The record equaled the record of "Titanic" that year, but it also failed to cover up her brilliance.

The Devil is still playing in more than 1000 theaters across the country, increasing to more than 1300 the week after the Oscars.Nine weeks after its release, it had amassed $9 million at the box office.At the same time, it began to sell foreign copyrights in the international market. When the final box office figures were counted at the end of the year, the global box office of the film actually reached a gratifying US$3000 million.

At that time, the reason why Summer didn't appear in "The Devil" was because she loved beauty and couldn't make up her mind to gain weight and pretend to be ugly. Besides, she was still filming "The Notebook" in Charleston at the time, and Patty Jenkins could wait for her, but She doesn't want to be ugly, and she doesn't want to be too tired.

Now, the same problem is facing her again: To play a female boxer, she has to train in advance, gain weight, and possibly look ugly.

Eastwood came to her for a meeting with her stylist, and it was decided that if Summer was to play the lead actress, she would have to undergo a drastic change in appearance.First of all, she has to give up her iconic blonde hair and dye it dark brown; secondly, she has to gain weight, and she has to train with professional trainers to become an athlete's physique; there is an age gap between her and the character setting, but it is not too serious problem, and had to practice the Missouri accent.

Samo soon started physical training. He had to exercise at the gym for at least 5 hours a day. After exercising every day, he would suffer from backaches, take a sauna, and then massage for half an hour.This means she is away most of the day.

Leonardo's new job was officially announced in March, and he will star in Martin Scorsese's new film as the leading role.Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment, has bought the rights to the Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs," rewriting it into a new script for a North American setting.A shooting date has not been set, the script has not yet been finalized, and no studio has been found willing to distribute it.

So Leonardo became a good father and a good husband at home with peace of mind.

After Alexander was able to walk, he became a little monster who couldn't calm down. He wanted to run out all day and was unwilling to stay at home.

He is also the king of destruction. He grabs toys and throws them on the ground. His strength is not small. I don’t know how many toys in the children’s playroom have been thrown.Children have such a stage full of destructive desires. They don't understand that a thing can be damaged, and they can't control their strength.

Leonardo thinks that children, breaking a few toys is nothing, just buy them after they are broken, and it’s not that they can’t afford them.So almost every week, he took Alexander to the toy store to buy toys, and he played the role of a silly father who spoiled his children.

The author has something to say: *The cost of "The Devil" is 800 million, and the final global box office is more than 6000 million. It is really a small cost and a big return.
