532. Chapter 532 Oscar is still
The next ten days of shooting were quite hard, and each shot would have to be NG many times before it could be passed, especially those more intimate shots, which made Sean miserable.
But he didn't complain. Gus Van Sant had already made it clear to him: "Your acting is indeed excellent, Sean, your equipment is also perfect, but you obviously haven't completely integrated yourself with the role, or homosexual groups. This is different from ordinary shooting. I need you to love and hate like usual, and tell everyone in body language that there is no difference between peer groups and ordinary people!"
Well, he was right. Although Sean collected quite a lot of information about Harvey Milk, he fully experienced the mood of the parties through this, and also took time to spend time in many gay bars - he had to bring Garen or Sanders with him every time, otherwise, he would come to harass him one by one.
However, it is finally apart from the real homosexuality. He can experience the anger, helplessness and depression when homosexuality is discriminated against and excluded, and can also experience the pleasure and excitement when he resists because of injustice and speaks loudly and proudly, but it is always difficult to make himself completely homosexual in the movie.
"It's impossible to really come from the bottom of my heart. I believe I'm gay, right?" Sean was quite troubled by this question.
He is used to performing in substitution, but he is completely substituted as homosexual. For a guy who has been hooking up with girls everywhere since junior high school, can sleep with ten girls in one semester in high school, can even take a teacher, and can get the other cheerleaders when he goes to the neighboring school to compete, and is even more aggressive when he comes to Hollywood, it is really difficult to be competent.
However, no matter how difficult it is, we have to go. Since we have chosen the movie "Milke" and are still planning to compete with Daniel Day Lewis, we must not retreat.
Moreover, Playboy plays a homosexual role with a lot of gimmicks. If he can really play this role well in a convincing way, the response it causes can bring him endless benefits.
Just as the media has reported this time, Sant chose to start the filming on the streets of San Francisco, and he didn't intend to hide it. In addition, Sean is very popular in San Francisco, so his new role is the famous Harvey Milk, who was soon exposed by the media and began to spread widely.
Although everyone was focusing on the upcoming Oscars at this time, Sean was one of the nominations after all, and there were two nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, so some people still pay attention to it.
So someone wrote: "Is there anything more ridiculous than this when a playboy plays San Francisco's greatest civil rights campaigner and a spokesperson for gay groups?"
There is no doubt that this is someone who doesn't like Sean, but he still has a good impression of him: "Shawn Don, who is good at trying various roles, made another amazing move after "Barber Todd". He will play the leading role in the biographical film "Milke" directed by Gus Van Sant. 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 to be a big challenge."
There are more praises from the local media in San Francisco. I said before that Sean is a San Francisco native, and he is his own. Who should they take care of if they don’t take care of their own people? What’s more, he plays Milk, who is famous in this city, directing Gus Van Sant. In addition, Sanders also arranged a radio interview. Sean praised Milk and won the support of homosexual groups.
Moreover, even the old-fashioned father, who has never had a good sense of homosexual group, did not complain about him being a homosexual, but he was not very satisfied with him, but he was satisfied with him? But his mother complained a few times, thinking that everyone would misunderstand him and worried that he would really try it in the future, which made Sean feel a little amused.
Even if I have been bent in the future, at least I have already had a future, right? Sean really wanted to ask this question with malicious intentions, but when facing his mother who cares about him, such words are still unspeakable.
Anyway, at least in San Francisco, basically no one said bad things about him, even in the tabloids.
This situation also affected some people at the party - although the shooting time was tight, Sant also warned Sean not to focus all his energy on the party, but he still had to attend necessary parties, and he had two nominations.
So, at the party, there are always people who ask Sean how it feels like to play Milk, why you want to try such a role, etc.
"This increases your exposure among the college judges and makes them pay more attention to you, and maybe you can get a city this year." Sanders summarized it.
Sean couldn't help but feel a little hope. Although qualifications are still his biggest obstacle, no one is sure that he won't be upset, right?
Unfortunately, I can't remember who won the award this year, otherwise I could take some targeted measures. He thought with regret that what he wanted to say was that Will Smith and Forrest Whitaker were very likely, and they were both black people.
But the previous year, at the beginning of 2005, Jamie Fox won the Oscar for Best Actor with "The King of Souls", becoming the third black actor after Denzel Washington. The Academy shouldn't be giving another one so soon.
Then, DiCaprio won't mention it. Although he was working hard to transform and perform, some things could not be changed by hard work. Although there were rumors in private that he was still paying off the debt for his frivolity in "Titanic", and the news that he refused to attend the Oscars because he was not nominated was rumored at the time, but Sean felt that he was paying off the debt for the high box office of "Titanic".
Although there is no evidence to prove it, everyone knows that the number of commercial movies that actors star in is inversely proportional to the possibility of winning. The higher the box office of commercial movies, the smaller the chance of winning, unless it is a movie like "Forrest Gump" that emphasizes both literature and business, and just hits the hearts of mainstream American society.
So Sean always carefully balanced his commercial and literary works, and did not see Johnny Depp, since the Pirates of the Caribbean series, basically said goodbye to Oscars. Not to mention that DiCaprio, who plays the leading actor in the current world's largest box office, the huge and unsurpassable 1.8 billion box office, is DiCaprio.
In this way, Peter Otto may win the final prize. This is probably his last Oscar nomination. It is really not easy. It has been so many years since "Lawrence of Arabia".
Even so, it doesn't mean that Peter Otto will win. After all, he had won the honorary award in 2003. Although this is just a comforting award, it is also an Oscar award. He was given to him at this time and gave him another best actor. No matter how he feels, he thinks he is slapping himself in the face.
So, after thinking about this, Sean felt that his winning chance was still very big, and he might be really upset. However, life is like chocolate, and he never knows what the next one tastes, so what exactly is, you will know at the award ceremony.
So the 79th Oscar came.
"It's almost 10 years in a blink of an eye, which is really touching, but even if the awards ceremony is changed, the Oscars are still so lively." Looking at the crowded crowd around the red carpet, the middle-aged man said in a nostalgic tone.
"Come on, Mark, you're only 36 years old at least two months away. Why do you speak like an old man?" The young man next to him immediately interrupted and patted him.
"Does my tone sound like an old man? Or can I not even sigh at the passage of time?" Mark Wahlberg glanced at him dissatisfiedly. "You know, more than nine years ago, I worked hard in the movie industry for five years before I could step onto the Hollywood red carpet. I can't compare with those guys who are lucky enough to get nominated when they debut."
"Okay, I get it, you're jealous." Sean said immediately.
"Yes, I'm, so how about letting me punch you in front of a reporter?" Wahlberg said, shaking his fist.
This thing immediately attracted the attention of some reporters. They immediately turned the camera and took pictures on Sean and Wahlberg.
Wahlberg was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor for Scorsese's remake of "The Walker of the Scross" in this Oscar, which was his first nomination. It happened that this movie was introduced to Scorsese by Sean, and he recommended him to play the role. He happened to meet him on the red carpet, so he naturally acted together.
"So, the original "Bulin Night" failed to give you a nomination?" Sean changed the subject.
"There are only 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 showed a hesitant look when he thought of something, and soon whispered: "Sorry, Sean, I didn't mean it... That guy is like that, with a hot temper and full of control. Everything must be as he wants. If I want him to cooperate with him again, I must 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 bottom of his heart, since he had already expressed his opinion on his side, he couldn't be stingy.
"What's more, I have a better character now." Sean added immediately.
Wahlberg immediately laughed: "To be honest, Sean, I never thought you would play a... well... gay role, which takes a lot of courage."
"I didn't think about it before taking on this role." Sean spread his hands, and then a reporter's voice came from the side: "Mr. Tang, do you have any thoughts about playing Milk? How about it compared to Todd?"
