[US Entertainment] Actress

Leonardo's handsome appearance, brilliant blond hair and sea-like clear eyes almost started the wave of handsome boys in Hollywood-it can be said that in some countries that have not yet fully taken over by modernization, the influence of "Titanic" is Enormous, it breaks down closed doors almost in a predatory way, channeling Hollywood values ​​in.

As an actor, Leonardo DiCaprio can be described as very successful, even though he has not been favored by Oscars, but his performance is quite affirmed by film critics.

However, what corresponds to his handsome appearance is his rather sharp voice, as if the voice has not successfully turned the corner and the sound is stuck at a certain point, which makes people always have a slight sense of disbelief when watching his movies. harmony.

"It's as if the cool and crazy president suddenly turned into a bleating sheep." Noy described Leonardo DiCaprio's voice in this way, and he was beaten violently.But the voice is innate, and no one can change it, just like when Noye watched the "Pirates of the Caribbean" disc at home in his previous life, he always had the urge to snatch Johnny Depp's voice.

"The Aviator" can be said to be Leonardo DiCaprio's biggest challenge since he was a movie.This movie seems to have big names such as Cate Blanchett, Noye, Alec Baldwin, etc., but the real core and only protagonist of the movie is always Leonardo DiCaprio.He needed to bring out Howard Hughes, the crazy gambler, the eternal adventurer...whether it was Howard insisting on finishing the movie in the first place, or his risk of flying even if he was seriously injured.

Flying is the main theme of this movie, which is why the title of the movie is "The Aviator" instead of "Hollywood Tycoon" or "Hollywood Happiness".

Leonardo DiCaprio's role has always been heavy.

Noye has a lot of time to sit back and enjoy other people's performances - which she always does in Martin Scorsese films, of course, in the crew to enjoy other actors' performances, or with this The well-known director chatted casually, and what Noy could gain was many times the usual amount.

For the role of Ava Gardner, Noy also put a lot of effort into it.Ava is an actress in the golden age of Hollywood. She is considered to be the best candidate for the heroine in Hemingway's works. She is also a symbol of the most beautiful star in the eyes of many audiences and even film critics.She may not be as favored by Oscars as Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn and others, but Ava's acting skills cannot be ignored.

In addition to her rich acting experience, Ava's private life is also worthy of attention.She was born in a poor family in North Carolina - the background of "Cold Mountain" is in North Carolina, and she became an actor under MGM by chance, starring in "The Killer" adapted from Hemingway's novel Her career took off, during which time she began dating Howard Hughes.

Even though the heroine of the movie "The Aviator" is Katharine Hepburn, in Hughes' life, Ava Gardner's position is no less than that of Hepburn.There is a widely circulated saying in Hollywood that Hughes started the dispute with Gardner first, slapped Gardner causing his jaw to dislocate, Gardner punched Hughes back two front teeth, and slapped him. Throwing a copper bauble hit Hughes on the head, and Hughes immediately fell into a coma.It is said that Hughes has been monitoring Gardner's life for a long period of time. Every time Ava ends a relationship, Hughes takes advantage of it at the fastest speed, so the relationship between the two lasted on and off for 20 years .But Ava also admitted in her autobiography that she never loved Hughes.

In addition to Hughes, Ava also had several relationships with Artie Shaw, Frank Sinatra and others.Even though she was at MGM for 17 years, none of her classics came from MGM. Ava retired to Spain in the late 50s, and then England, where she never gave up her acting career even in the years leading up to her death.

Ava Gardner died in 1990 at the age of 68.

In fact, looking through the history of the golden age of Hollywood, the life of every actor who can leave a mark on the film industry is magnificent.

Noy carefully read the thick stack of materials in his hand, even though Leonardo DiCaprio, who had finished filming a new scene, walked up to her quietly, Noy didn't notice.

Leonardo DiCaprio unceremoniously sat down beside Noy, fanning the sweat from his forehead with the information in her hand.The weather today is indeed a bit hot. Noy ​​glanced at Leonardo out of the corner of his eyes, and moved away from him two steps without making a sound.

Leonardo DiCaprio rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Noy, you are so direct."

"Go take a shower first and then talk directly." Noy glanced at him angrily, "Seeing your greasy and dizzy appearance, I feel like I'm going to faint."

Martin Scorsese watched Noye and Leonardo quarreling with a smile and didn't stop it.The rest of the crew stared at Noy and Leonardo with shocked eyes, as if they had discovered a new continent.

Although Leonardo DiCaprio has the temperament of a young man, he is the number one star of the crew after all, and he starred in movies of big-name directors, so Leonardo usually behaves a little arrogantly.

But the situation where Leonardo and Noy got along obviously broke their cognition. You must know that even the leading actress of the crew, Cate Blanchett, never got along with Leonardo so naturally.

But thinking that Noye is the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actress after all, and the brilliant achievements of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Legal Blonde" are still vivid in my memory. She has long been regarded as Hollywood's most hopeful to touch the Oscar queen No.80 of the post-1s generation, even Natalie Portman, who has always been known for her acting skills, has not received such praise.The "Gangs of New York" that Noye and Leonardo worked together also occupies an important position on her record wall, and it is very possible that the two became friends because of the play.

""The Biography of Hughes"?" Leonardo DiCaprio flipped through the pile of books in Noye's hand boredly, "I've read this book before, can you tell me what you can see from it? ?"

"I'm still researching. The object I need to analyze now is Ava Gardner. Hughes is just a derivative. You are the one who should study Hughes."

"Of course, in fact I've read it several times, but..." Leonardo took the towel handed by his assistant and washed his face, "Maybe we can go out to have a meal together, and then discuss each other's opinions on the script." feel."

"Can I bring my boyfriend?"

"Of course! My treat."

The dinner was held at a well-known restaurant in Southern California. Noye brought Keith Lieser and Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Gisele Bundchen.Leonardo's purpose was to discuss the relevant plot of the script with Noy, so the boyfriend and girlfriend they brought specially became companions.Keith Lieser stroked Noy's hair affectionately. He liked to see Noy's serious work. He just quietly looked at the two people who were caught up in the discussion, and occasionally gave one or two opinions.

From talking with Leonardo DiCaprio, Noye found that he really took the movie "The Aviator" seriously.He has listened to countless recordings about Hughes, read biographies and movies, and even spent a day listening to Jane Russell, who starred in Hughes' movie "The Desperado", tell Hughes' deeds And was single-handedly made famous by Hughes.

"I have learned to fly a plane now." Leonardo DiCaprio said excitedly, his eyes were shining with a different kind of light, "Although it is often difficult to get the same return for my efforts, I still hope that I can Breakthrough in this movie. A lot of people have played Hughes, but I wish I could play a different Howard Hughes, the kind that is remembered."

Noy listened quietly to his narration.Every actor has his own unique performance style, and each actor puts in different energy for a specific role. It is very likely that an actor who meets a suitable role will have a super performance, even Meryl Street Pu, "The Iron Lady" and "Sophie's Choice" are both her best works after winning Oscars. Are "Bridges of Madison County" and "Julie and Julia" not good enough?Of course not, except that while they were excellent, they weren't Meryl Streep's best performances in the judges' eyes.

"What's your opinion, Noy?" Leonardo DiCaprio stared at Noy with burning eyes, as if he wanted to poke a hole out of her.Noy wondered if she had done something wrong to Leonardo, and after a while she tentatively put forward her own idea.

In fact, Leonardo's performance in "The Aviator" is much better than that of "Gangs of New York" two years ago. It can be seen that he really likes the role of Hughes, and the role of Hughes also gave him A lot of room to play.

Leonardo DiCaprio's shortcoming is that his performance is a bit too exposed, and he can't make people feel the restraint and depth of the character.

"Are you saying that the traces of performance are too heavy?" Leonardo DiCaprio was naturally shocked when he heard this. He has been praised for his natural and traceless performances since he was young. In 1994, his performance as a mentally handicapped teenager even earned him an Oscar nomination for a supporting actor—he struggled for ten years, but he never won the Academy's affirmation again, even though that award seemed so within reach.

Noye has seen "A Different Sky", and Leonardo's performance in it even surpassed the handsome Johnny Depp. The character is not deep, and does not need frowning and crazy growls, but it It looks so natural, like some real teenager in people's lives.

Noye continued: "Hughes is a crazy character, I mean, you really showed a strong dark side of his character. But Hughes can't always be like this, he has dreams, He was a genius visionary. He may be angry that a certain device on the plane failed, but let's not forget the premise of it all."

"It's a happy thing to be close to my dream." Noy patted him on the shoulder, "Why don't you try to be happier?"

"Or, you still want to rely on a fanatic Hughes to win an Oscar?" Noy said with doubts in his tone, "I can tell you that there are only two ways to win Oscar's favor, one is to subvert, acting One is neuropathic, pathological, ugly, and ugly; the other is real, when others can’t distinguish you from that role, they can substitute you into that role without hesitation, and they think you are that role, then you will be successful.”

"Yes, I did think so. Do you think my Hughes is not enough to impress the judges?" Leonardo looked over with clear eyes, and Noy subconsciously did not dare to shake his head.In fact, Leonardo's performance in "The Aviator" is indeed worthy of attention. He was nominated for Best Actor in the 77th Oscar, but this was the beginning of his repeated setbacks at the Oscars.

Coupled with the later "Blood Diamond", "The Departed", and "The Wolf of Wall Street", those roles that made him high-profile even became proof of his "Oscar" disappointment, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Without thinking, Leonardo DiCaprio got the answer he wanted.

He sighed softly, and suddenly laughed and said, "Noy, I really envy you, you can easily get what I want."

Noy glared at him: "We can change, for example, your salary?"

"Oh, my dear, you are not poor at all, and you must have a place in this year's income list."

Gisele Bundchen said: "Dior's spring and summer show is very successful, and the spokesperson has contributed a lot."

The total cost of the film "The Aviator" is 1 million US dollars, which is Martin Scorsese's first film with a cost of over 1600 million US dollars, and the part of the cost that pays the actors' remuneration is also a big part of it.Leonardo DiCaprio was paid $2000 million, and Noye took in a few shots, but she also took home $800 million, and leading actress Cate Blanchett took $600 million, a little bit more. Less than Noy.Including the remuneration of other actors, the crew of "The Aviator" alone paid more than 4000 million US dollars.You know, the crew spent only $200 million on costumes, and the crew of "The Aviator" even became one of the crews that spent the most on costumes in Hollywood.

"If you are really willing to pay me a little more, I don't mind telling you some of my filming secrets."

"Say." Leonardo DiCaprio raised an eyebrow at her.

"When I play a role, I never consider Noy Linton's identity. I just need to remember that I am Ava Garner. Maybe my appearance is not as beautiful and charming as Ava, but the appearance can make up for it, but the soul It can never be made up." She looked at Leonardo, "Leo, I was thinking that maybe it's because you have always played the leading role in the crew, and the actors who played with you are often not as famous as you or their acting skills are not good enough. It is difficult for you Feel the feeling of being suppressed."

In fact, Leonardo DiCaprio's performance in "How to Get Away with Murder" is really good. He is more suitable for this kind of relaxed performance. This kind of movie is destined not to give him an award, but his performance is easier to relax. .

"It sounds like I'm useless." Leonardo raised his eyebrows in a relaxed manner, but his back couldn't help leaning against the chair, as if he wanted to find some kind of support—this was a manifestation of his self-doubt.
