Best Actor

    The next ten days of shooting 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, Gus Van Sant had made it very clear to him: "You're really good at acting, Sean, and your equipment is perfect, too. But you obviously haven't fully integrated yourself with the characters, or the same-sex group. It's different from normal filming, I need you to love and hate like you normally do, and tell everyone, peer groups, and ordinary people with body language no difference!"

    Well, he is right, although Sean has collected quite a lot of information about Harvey Milk, through which he can fully experience the mood of the client, and he also takes time to visit many **** people Been in the bar - bring Galen or Sanders every time, otherwise, it's one after the other who come to harass him.

    However, he is finally separated from the real homosexuality. He can experience the anger, helplessness and depression when homosexuals are discriminated against and excluded, and can also experience the resistance because of injustice, speak loudly and proudly The joy and excitement of being who you are, but it's always been a bit difficult to make yourself fully **** in a movie.

    "It's impossible to really believe in yourself as gay, right?" Sean was quite troubled by this question.

      On the other hand, if you go to a neighboring school to compete, you can get the opponent's cheerleader to get started. For a guy who comes to Hollywood to get more aggressive, it is really difficult to do it.

    However, no matter how difficult it is, I have to go up. Since I have chosen the movie "Milk" and I plan to compete with Daniel Day Lewis, I must not back down.

    Besides, Playboy is also full of gimmicks to play gay, if he can play the role in a convincing way, then the repercussions can bring him endless benefits.

    As has been reported by the media during this period of time, Sant chose to start the machine on the streets of San Francisco, and did not intend to hide it. In addition, Sean is very popular in San Francisco, so His new role, the famous Harvey Milk, was quickly picked up by the media and started to spread.

    Although everyone is focusing on the upcoming Oscars at this time, Sean is one of the nominees, and there are two nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, so How many people still pay attention.

    So, someone wrote: "What could be more comical than a **** playing San Francisco's greatest civil rights activist, and the face of a **** community?"

    There is no doubt that this is the person who dislikes Sean, but he is more fond of him: "Sean Tang, who is good at trying various roles, in "The Barber Tao" De", he made another amazing move, he will play the leading role in the biopic "Milk" directed by Gus Van Sant. Everyone knows that Sean is one of the most famous playboys in Hollywood. , now playing a **** civil rights expert, I have to say it's a big challenge."

    The local media in San Francisco has more praise and praise. As I said before, Sean is from San Francisco and his own. If they don’t take care of their own people, who should they take care of? What's more, he played Milk, who was well-known in the city, directed by Gus van Sant, and Sanders also arranged a radio interview. Sean praised Milk a lot. Fan, won the support of **** groups.

    Also, even the old-fashioned father, who has never had a good view of the **** community, did not criticize him for playing gay, just not very satisfied, but what did he do to him Satisfied? However, his mother complained a few words, thinking that everyone would misunderstand him, and worried that he would really try in the future, which made Sean a little dumbfounded.

    Even if I bend in the future, at least I already have it, right? Sean wanted to ask this question maliciously, but in the face of a mother who cared about him, he couldn't say such a thing.

    In short, in San Francisco at least, basically no one speaks ill of him, not even the tabloids.

    This situation also affected some people at the party - although the filming time was tight, Sant also warned Sean not to focus all his energy on the party, but the necessary parties still had to be attended , he has two nominations.

    There are always people at parties who ask Sean how it feels to play Milk, why you want to try such a role, etc.

    "It increases your exposure among the academy judges, makes them pay more attention to you, and maybe you can get a city this year." Sanders summed it up.

    Sean couldn't help but hold on to a little hope. Although qualifications are still his biggest obstacle, no one is sure that it will not be upset, right?

    Unfortunately, I can't remember who won the award this year, otherwise we can take some targeted measures. With regret, he thought, there's a high chance that Will Smith and Forrest Whitaker are both black.

    But the previous year, that is, at the beginning of 2005, Jamie Foxx has won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Soul Singer", becoming the third after Denzel Washington The best black actor, the Academy should not give another one so soon.

    Then, DiCaprio will not mention it, although he is working hard to transform and perform, but some things can be changed without hard work, although there are private rumors that he is still working for " The frivolous repayment of "Titanic", the news of refusing to attend the Oscars because of no nominations, was rumored at the time, but Sean felt that he was paying back the high box office of "Titanic".

    Although there is no evidence to prove it, everyone knows that the number of commercial films an actor plays is inversely proportional to the probability of winning. The higher the box office of a commercial film, the lower the probability of winning, unless It's a movie like "Forrest Gump" that emphasizes both art and commerce, and just hits the hearts of mainstream American society.

    So Sean has always carefully balanced his commercial works and literary and artistic works, without seeing Johnny Depp, since the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, basically said goodbye to Oscar. Not to mention DiCaprio, who plays the leading man in Titanic, which is currently the world's No. 1 box office, with a huge unattainable 1.8 billion box office.

    In this way, the last one who may win is Peter Otto. This is probably his last Oscar nomination. It's not easy. It's been many years since "Lawrence of Arabia".

    Even so, it does not mean that Peter Otto will win, after all, he has already won the honorary award in 2003. Although this is just a consolation award, it is also an Oscar award. It was given to him for another best actor at this time. No matter how he felt, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

    So, thinking about it like this, Sean feels that his chances of winning are still very large, and maybe he will be upset. However, life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like, so you will know at the awards ceremony.

    So the 79th Oscar is here.

    "It's almost 10 years in the blink of an eye, it's really emotional, but even if the awards venue is changed, the Oscars are still so lively." Looking at the crowd around the red carpet, the middle-aged man used to miss said in a tone.

    "Come on, Mark, you're at least two months away from turning 36. You sound like an old man." The young man next to him immediately interrupted and patted him.

    "Do I sound like an old man? Or can't I even sigh about the passage of time?" Mark Wahlberg gave him a dissatisfied look, "You know, nine years A long time ago, I was in the movie business for five years before I could get on the red carpet in Hollywood. I can't compare to the guys who, luckily, just got nominated."

    "Well, I see, you're jealous." Sean said immediately.

    "Yes, I am, so how about I punch you in front of reporters?" Wahlberg said, shaking his fist.

    This thing immediately attracted the attention of some reporters, who immediately turned the camera around and took pictures of Sean and Wahlberg.

     Wahlberg was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor for Scorsese's remake of The Departed, the first time he has been nominated. And it happened that this movie was introduced to Scorsese by Sean, and he recommended him to play the role, and they happened to meet on the red carpet, so naturally they acted together.

    "So, "Boogie Nights" didn't give you a nomination?" Sean changed the subject.

    "And three nominations, Burt Reynolds for Best Supporting Actor, Julian Moore for Best Supporting Actress, and Paul Thomas Anderson for Best Original Screenplay." Berger shrugged.

    Then, he thought of something with a hesitant look, and then quickly whispered: "Sorry, Sean, I didn't mean to... That guy is just like that, hot tempered, full of control. , everything must be according to his wishes, if I want to cooperate with him again, I must first set up a lot of rules."

    "It's okay, Mark, I don't care about him anymore." Sean smiled.

    Although it's not that he doesn't really care, and I'm not sure that Wahlberg's words are completely from the heart, but since he has already expressed his stance on his side, he can't be stingy.

     "Besides, I have a better role now." Sean added immediately.

     Wahlberg suddenly laughed: "To be honest, Sean, I never thought you would play a...well...gay character, it takes a lot of courage. "

    "I didn't think about it before I took on this role." Sean spread his hands, and then a reporter's voice came from the side: "Mr. How do you feel about it? How does it compare to Todd?"

    The two exchanged glances, shrugged together, and then walked forward with a laugh.
