Chapter 533: Oscar Still
The next ten days of filming were quite hard, and each shot had to be NG many times to pass, especially those more intimate shots, which made Sean miserable.
But he didn't complain about anything, Gus? Fan? Sant had made it clear to him: "Your acting skills are really good, Sean, and your gear is perfect, but you obviously haven't fully integrated yourself with the character, or the same-sex community." It's different from a normal shoot, I need you to love and hate as you normally would, and use body language to tell everyone that there is no difference between a peer group and an ordinary person! ”
Well, he's right, Sean though has collected quite a bit about Harvey? Milk's information, through which he fully experienced the mood of the person concerned, also found time to hang out in many gay bars - each time he had to bring Galen or Saunders, or else he would have been harassed by one after another.
However, he can finally experience the anger, helplessness and depression when homosexuals are discriminated against and excluded, and he can also experience the joy and excitement when he rebels because of injustice and says out loud and proudly what he is, but it is always difficult to make himself a homosexual in the movie.
"You can't really believe that you're gay from the heart, right?" Sean has a headache for this question.
He's used to acting with substitution, but he's completely gay, and it's really hard for a guy who has been hooking up with girls everywhere since junior high school, sleeping with ten girls in a semester in high school, even being able to soak in teachers, and getting the cheerleader of the other party when he goes to a neighborhood school competition, and coming to Hollywood to get even more intense.
However, no matter how difficult it is, since they have chosen the movie "Milk", do you still plan to work with Daniel? If Day-Lewis competes, then he must not back down.
Moreover, Playboy is also full of gimmicks to play gay, and if he can really play the role in a convincing way, then the repercussions can bring him endless benefits.
Just like the media has reported during this time, Sante chose to start the film on the streets of San Francisco, so he didn't plan to hide it, plus Sean is very popular in San Francisco, so his new role is the famous Harvey? Milk, who was soon poked out by the media, began to spread widely.
Although at this time, everyone's eyes are on the upcoming Oscars, but Sean is one of the nominees after all, and there are two nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, so there are still some people paying attention.
So, someone wrote, "What could be funnier than a playboy playing San Francisco's greatest civil rights activist and the face of the gay community?" ”
There is no doubt that this is the person who does not like Sean, but more often has a good impression of him: "Sean, who is good at trying various roles? Don, after "Sweeney Todd" made another amazing move, will he be in Gus? Fan? He played the leading role in the biographical film "Milk" directed by Sante. Everyone knows that Sean is one of the most famous playboys in Hollywood, and now playing a gay civil rights expert, it has to be said that it is a big challenge. ”
There are even more compliments from the local media in San Francisco, as I said before, Sean is a San Franciscan, his own people, who do they take care of if they don't take care of their own people? What's more, he plays Milk, who is very famous in the city, and directs Gus? Fan? Sant, along with Sanders, also arranged a radio interview in which Sean ravaged Milk, winning over the gay community.
Moreover, even the old-fashioned father, who has never had a good sense of the gay community, did not complain about him playing a homosexual, but he was not very satisfied, but what was he satisfied with him? However, his mother complained a few words, thinking that everyone would misunderstand him, and worried that he would really try it in the future, which made Sean a little crying and laughing.
Even if I bend later, at least there is already a back, right? Sean wanted to ask this question with malice, but in the face of his mother who cared about him, he still couldn't say such a thing.
In short, at least here in San Francisco, almost no one speaks ill of him, not even the tabloids.
This situation also affected some of the people at the party - although the filming schedule was tight, and Sant warned Sean not to focus all his energy on the party, but he still had to attend the necessary gatherings, and he had two nominations.
So, at the party, there are always people who will ask Sean how it feels to play Mike, why he wants to try such a role, etc.
"It's going to increase your exposure among the college judges and get them to pay more attention to you, and maybe you can get a city this year." That's how Sanders summed it up.
Sean couldn't help but hold out a little hope, although seniority is still his biggest obstacle, no one is sure that there will be no upset, is it?
It's a pity that I can't remember who won the award this year, otherwise we can do some targeted measures. He thought to himself regretfully, what to say, Will? Smith and Forrestal? There is a high probability that Whitaker is both black.
But the year before, at the beginning of '05, Jamie? Fox has already won the Oscar for Best Actor with "The King of Soul Singers", becoming the successor to Denzel? The third Black Best Actor after Washington, the Academy probably won't give another one so soon.
Then, DiCaprio didn't mention it, although he worked hard to transform and act, but some things can be changed without hard work, although there were rumors in private that he was still paying off the debt for the frivolity of "Titanic", and the news of refusing to attend the Oscar because he was not nominated was spread at the time, but Sean felt that he was paying off the high box office of "Titanic".
Although there is no evidence to prove it, everyone knows that the number of commercial films starred by actors is inversely proportional to the likelihood of winning awards, and the higher the box office of commercial films, the smaller the chance of winning awards, unless it is a movie like "Forrest Gump" that pays equal attention to literature and commerce, and just scratches the hearts of mainstream American society.
So Sean has always carefully balanced his commercial works and literary works, and he doesn't see Johnny? Depp, since the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, has basically said goodbye to the Oscars. Not to mention DiCaprio, who plays the leading role in the current global No. 1 box office in the world's first box office and the huge unsurpassable 1.8 billion box office "Titanic".
So it seems that the one who may win the lottery in the end is Peter? Otto, this is probably the last time he was nominated for an Oscar, it's not easy, how many years have it been since "Lawrence of Arabia".
Even so, does not represent Peter? Otto will win steadily, after all, he has already won an honorable mention in '03. Although this is only a consolation award, it is also an Oscar award, and he was given a Best Actor award at this time, no matter how he feels, he wants to slap himself in the face.
Therefore, thinking about it this way, Sean feels that his winning chance is still full, and maybe he will really be upset. However, life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like, so you will know how it will be at the awards ceremony.
And so the 79th Oscars came.
"It's been almost 10 years in the blink of an eye, which is really emotional, but even if the award venue is changed, the Oscars are still so lively." Looking at the crowd around the red carpet, the middle-aged man said in a nostalgic tone.
"Come on, Mark, you're at least two months before you turn 36, and you talk like an old man." The young man next to him immediately interjected and slapped him.
"Does my tone sound a lot like an old man? Or can't you even sigh at the passage of time? "Mark? Wahlberg glanced at him dissatisfied, "You know, more than nine years ago, I worked hard in the film industry for five years before I was able to step on the red carpet in Hollywood. I can't compare with those guys who, with good luck, can be nominated just after their debut. ”
"Okay, I see, you're jealous." Sean said immediately.
"Yes, I am, so how about I punch you in front of the reporter again?" Wahlberg shook his fist as he spoke.
This thing immediately attracted the attention of some reporters, who immediately turned the camera around and clicked on Sean and Wahlberg.
Wahlberg was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at this Oscar for Scorsese's remake of "The Departed", which is his first nomination. And it just so happened that this movie was introduced to Scorsese by Sean, and he also recommended him to play the role, and they happened to meet on the red carpet, so they naturally acted together.
"So, the original "Boogie Night" didn't give you a nomination?" Sean: This is changing the subject.
"Just three nominations, Bert? Reynolds' Best Supporting Actor, Julian? Moore's Best Supporting Actress, and Paul? Thomas? Anderson's Best Original Screenplay. Wahlberg shrugged.
Then, he hesitated when he thought of something, and then quickly whispered, "I'm sorry, Sean, I didn't mean to...... That's what that guy is, hot-tempered, full of control, everything has to be his way, and if I want to work with him again, I have to set a lot of rules first. ”
"It's okay, Mark, I don't care about him anymore." Sean smiled.
Although he didn't really care at all, and he couldn't be sure that Wahlberg's words were completely from the heart, but since he had already stated that he was on his side, he couldn't be stingy.
"What's more, I have a better role now." Sean then added.
Wahlberg suddenly laughed: "To be honest, Sean, I never thought you would actually play a ...... Well...... It takes a lot of courage to play a gay role. ”
"I didn't think about it until I took on this role." Sean stretched out his hand, and then a reporter's voice came from the side: "Mr. Tang, do you feel about playing Mique?" How does it compare to Todd? ”
The two exchanged glances, shrugged their shoulders together, and walked forward with a laugh.
