For "The Great Gatsby", Jenny did not communicate directly with Salvi, but Leo expressed his willingness to Warner, so that both parties will be more comfortable when Warner and Salvi negotiate the price, and she also has room for mediation, especially after seeing Salvi's current filmmaking mode, Jenny is even more cautious, "Gatsby" She may intervene in the creation, but definitely don't be the producer in charge. Therefore, Leo's visit seems to be Warner's connection with Salvi, but in fact the Quartet is full of tacit understanding - this is not only an attempt by himself, in fact, it can also be said that Salvi auditioned for Leo, if Leo can't meet his standards, according to Jenny's understanding of him, I'm afraid he would rather withdraw from the project than accept Leo starring Gatsby. And, embarrassingly, Leo's performance this week really wasn't too good in any way......

It's not that he really wasn't touched, this week the crew has begun to shoot officially, and Salvi's unique directing techniques and excellent acting effects have made Leo engrossed on the set and not bored, which still needs to be affirmed, he has enough talent to understand the meaning of all this that Salvi is doing, which is the basis for the beginning of the cooperation and the premise of improving his acting skills. However, Leo's biggest problem is that he is used to the bright lights of life during the break, maybe in his crew, he can do not party, just have a drink after the play, but during the break he also allows him to live this life almost out of touch with modern society, every day after eating back to the wooden house, except for reading some idle books, chatting with almost no entertainment, which is obviously beyond his tolerance.

It's not that he didn't try, Leo had been following the rhythm of Jenny and Heath the other night, but it could be seen that this kind of nightlife made him very painful from the bottom of his heart, and after that, he was not willful enough to drag them to play poker, but used the excuse to linger after dinner, and within a few days, he quickly developed into a night party to participate in the crew to play coffee, and he would not return to the house until late at night. This also made Jenny sigh in her heart: the star road is too smooth, in fact, it may not be a good thing for people who have acting pursuits.

Acting, after all, is an industry that requires a lot of actors' background, and talent can only allow you to reach a certain height, and after that, you have to rely on your own practice. It's not that she has any sense of superiority over her efforts, but the truth is that if she can't settle down for even a few nights of silence and can't enjoy this loneliness, it is impossible for such a heart to support Leo's transformation and improve his acting skills. Talent can only allow Leo to bring out two or three similar types of impressive roles, only actors like Hiss, who can collect and release, sing songs night after night, and can also talk and hike in the valley, can bring the clown after Ennis - if the clown is not a superhero film villain and is discriminated against by the Oscar in blood, even if there is no big news bonus, he actually has the strength to compete for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and the earlier Ennis is also limited by Hiss's foreign status and too shallow qualifications, If he was Jewish, the actor might already be his.

Australian gang actors like Heath have always lacked good opportunities, and the same is true for Matthew, who is still dormant, with ups and downs in his personal career, as well as ups and downs in his personal life (at least for Hiss), which all contribute to sculpting acting, and for Leo, from "Titanic" to the present, in addition to the Oscar, what else does he want but can't get? It's easy for a person to lose motivation if they don't forget the pain, and Jenny thinks that she has done her best, she has developed a strong interest in the role of Daisy, and if Salvi finally shakes her head at Leo, she will also join forces with Salvi to let Leo out of the game - it's a big deal that Lakris will play it, and if this role or Salvi can make him interested, she has confidence in his professionalism.

In terms of the friendship between the two, Jenny couldn't say these words, she glanced at Heath and conveyed her apology: he was almost forced to witness this embarrassing scene, "Leo, for the Oscar judges, your last highlight role that really got noticed and let them nominate you without PR was "A Different Sky" 17 years ago, and then no matter how you PR, you couldn't get the nomination, until "The Aviator" 5 years ago, if you compare the two roles, You'll find that both characters have a lot in common with you – if I'm not mistaken, you're a single-parent family, and Arni in "Sky" is also a child of a single-parent bottom family, what about your "Flyer"? Howard. Hughes is a character haunted by fame, glitz, and power—"

She ignored the drunkenness on Leo's face and his look at Heath, 'Why is he so serious?' and continued, "There is no doubt that for actors, they are more comfortable with characters who have personal experience, so Robert will drive a taxi, but some characters can't be experienced like this, like Mantos and Coke, their soil no longer exists in today's society - including Gatsby, maybe for you, driving a taxi is a way you can accept the experience, But this kind of boring reading and seclusion is meaningless, but that's exactly how we approach and get in touch with the characters, is it useful? We don't know, but Salvi finds it useful, so we have to do it 120 percent, unless you disagree and think you have a better way – or you have to do it in vain. ”

For Leo, who has been rolling around at alcohol parties all year round, a few cans of beer are sure to be drunk. It was impossible for him not to understand Jenny's words, and the grinning expression gradually retracted, and it was obvious that he was a little embarrassed.

"Of course, it's not easy." Heath stepped in to help the round, "The most important thing is that you have to learn to enjoy it all, and you can't just do it, otherwise you're just wasting your time." This process of searching for inspiration can be really painful at times. ”

"For each of us." Jenny said, looking at Leo earnestly, "But that's Oscar, Leo, and no one can get it casually." If you want such great glory, you have to climb to such a high height, if you want such a high height, you have to pay such a big price, if you want to pay such a big price, you have to have such a crazy spirit. ”

She narrowed her eyes and decided to add another fire. "It's like Chris, his actor is a little reluctant, but if he didn't have such a crazy spirit, he wouldn't have been able to take that role in the first place, let alone play it well, the way of thinking determines everything, Leo, maybe this is the difference between you and Chris."

When it comes to Chris, Leo's expression really changed, and the fact that Chris was one step ahead of him between the twin stars of the year seemed to be indeed his heart knot.

"But, it's just—" Perhaps it was the catalytic effect of alcohol, and he didn't put much of a face on his face in distress, "it's all really hard, you know—get rid of everything you're used to—kind of ...... I don't know, what does it feel like to quit smoking? It's uncomfortable, that sense of silence—"

He scratched his hair, "The most important thing is that you are so ......"

It seems that the junior students are a bit self-defeating......

"I don't know what happened to Heath," Jenny shrugged, revealing her shortcomings first, "It's not that simple for me - at least at first I was just as mad as you are, but when I understand Salvi's intentions - I don't know what to say, maybe you should communicate more with him, if he has extra time." There may be a big difference with or without a director's guidance. ”

"But ......" Leo licked his lips, he still looked a little uncertain.

With Salvi's difference in coffee position, as well as this way of shooting, including the disadvantage of this story in terms of awards, it is reasonable that he will not be able to let go of his figure - unlike Jenny, Leo values the coffee position of co-directors very much, and he has always adopted a strategy of only working with top directors, because he has given up starring in purely commercial blockbusters in recent years, and can only rely on this strategy to maintain his style. If Leo had pursued Salvi so actively, and Salvi's "The Journey of Life" had ended up being a laughing stock—especially in the Martin Gang, where he would have been under a certain amount of pressure, and he had his connections.

Jenny didn't want to comment on these concerns, she shook her head, and gave up on continuing to persuade, "It's nothing, it's just a proposal - even if you can't adapt to this mode of experience, Salvi may not give up on you, you still have a chance." ”

Saying so clearly, she had already put her attitude on the table, and Leo's wine seemed to be completely awake - his face was even a little pale, maybe he didn't expect Jenny to really turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, and as soon as he gave up on him, he immediately completely sided with Salvi and faintly wanted to kick him out.

"Let's stay a few more days," the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward, Heath looked left and right, and took the initiative to soften his cheeks, "Maybe after a few days, you'll find the feeling, Jennifer is right, it's not something that can be rushed—when I traveled from New York to New Zealand to go hiking with Salvi, I was almost driven crazy at first, leaving that bustling environment—seriously, with a travel companion who doesn't necessarily say a word all day, and doesn't want you to disturb him—"

"—but in the end it all paid off." Leo said, his face looking unpredictable.

"At least for me, it's rewarded." Heath shrugged, "It's not about the effect of the film, it's about the performance itself — completing the role, creating an unexpected character in this way, is a sufficient reward in itself." ”

Leo's expression changed drastically, he looked at the window of the black hole, then at Jenny and Heath—and it was clear that after the initial excitement, and the frustration of recognizing the facts and starting to try, he really began to consider whether it was worth it. Perhaps before he came here, he had never found himself so dependent on a life of calling friends and drinking and beauties, and even though he knew that it was not so beneficial to the improvement of his acting skills, the great pain of quitting it still made his determination waver.

What if you don't change your route? Continue to play like this, Martin's connections and his qualifications, one day - no, maybe he can find a breakthrough with Martin -

What if you really can't win an Oscar? He is already the most popular and well-known star in the world, and not winning the award does not prevent him from becoming a first-line celebrity, and he has become a frequent visitor to the top of the power list all year round-

Neither Jenny nor Heath spoke, Jenny stared at the familiar handsome face, quietly waiting for Leo's decision - this is the path to excellence, you have too many reasons to fall behind - not an excuse, it is a good reason, want to take another step forward in Leo's height, if there is not a trace of crazy spirit, then maybe he will not even have the courage at all, every attempt is risky, if you are reluctant to take the risk, then you will not have the peak.

How does this apply to Leo?

And not only for business?

In this faintly tense moment, it suddenly occurred to her mind, and Jenny had a strange feeling, as if she had faintly touched on a weakness that she did not want to face, and she shook her head, shook off this useless thought, and waited for Leo's answer.

Martin's thoughts, Salvi's risk, the pain of this new approach itself...... All of this made Leo's expression a little distorted, his face cloudy, and suddenly, he turned to Hiss and asked quickly, "How does it feel to perform in this new way?" ”

Heath paused for a moment, but shrugged his shoulders anyway, "It's great, you know, knowing that you can still act like this - it's really good." ”

"That'll do." As if afraid that he would regret it, Leo slapped the floor hard and shouted, "it - I'll go to Salvi tomorrow!" ”

His pride lasted only for a moment, and the next second, he looked at the humble living room, and couldn't help but grimace, showing a somewhat comical expression of fear, and Heath smiled and applauded him as encouragement.

Leo actually made this decision...... Really bet on it......

To be honest, Jenny didn't expect him to really let go of his baggage, and in addition to surprise and relief - she also had a faint hint of envy, which made her pause for a moment before she smiled and clapped her hands in response, "Great—if you regret it tomorrow, it will be weak, Leo......"
