[American Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

Chapter 109 Conflicting Feelings

Mark Wahlberg is three years older than Leonardo. He also became popular in 1997. "Boogie Nights" made Mark Wahlberg famous. But during that period, whether it was Leonardo DeCap Leo, Mark Wahlberg, Keanu Reeves or Christian Bale, who now seem to have established themselves in the circle, were all "suppressed" at the foot of the mountain by the same person back then - Forever "River Phoenix" River Phoenix.

This was once an unreachable mountain for young actors in the 1990s, but it suddenly collapsed. After that, there was indeed a "disconnect" among young actors in Hollywood. It was not that there were no candidates to choose from, but that without River Phoenix, there were more directors and producers who had "second-tier" choices. Most of them have some resistance.

After River's death, many movies that were originally intended to star him were replaced by other young actors, such as Leonardo's "Romeo and Juliet" and "Total Eclipse", Mark Wahlberg and Leonardo co-produced "Edge Diary" and these movies were originally prepared for River.

Such a handsome and talented person was once known as the acting emperor, but he died young due to poisoning. So far, there has not been another actor in Hollywood who is called a genius like River. Even if he has such talent, he will never give another young actor the same praise and praise as River Phoenix. People are gilded.

Mark Wahlberg experienced ups and downs since childhood, and it was not until 2000 that he officially entered Hollywood after starring in "Planet of the Apes" and "The Perfect Storm". The box office of these two movies was on the annual list that year. . In 2003, "The Last Day" starring Charlize Theron also achieved good box office results despite a head-on collision with "Pirates of the Caribbean". After that, Mark Wahlberg's career began to rise significantly and officially took off.

In the play, he plays police officer Dignam, a man with a very venomous mouth and a strong tongue. What he is best at is cooperating with Quina to play the bad guy and then the bad guy. He tried to make Colin lose his fighting spirit and become a little policeman with no ideals in the investigation team. He also used humiliating verbal attacks to knock Billy's dream into the quagmire. He successfully made Billy choose to become an undercover agent and actively join the gang as a police officer. exchange information.

In short, Mark Wahlberg and the two leading actors have a lot of rivalry scenes - not only verbal wars between each other, but also fighting scenes.

Playing opposite top-level actors is not only a rewarding experience, but also a very challenging job.

Jack Nicholson is 68 years old this year. Even Martin is five years younger than him. However, the actor has maintained decades of continuous study and a humble attitude. The artist's temperament that he has accumulated is completely different from ordinary people. Actors are different. Jack Nicholson has played too many different roles and experienced countless different lives in his film career. Working with such an actor, he takes it seriously even if it is a scene off camera.

If you are surrounded by people who are close to your level, it will be difficult to identify your own shortcomings. Once there is a reference that makes the contrast extremely sharp, whether it is a small flaw or a very obvious short version, it will become particularly "dazzling".

Leonardo is the leader of the post-70s generation, and the post-80s generation represented by Vincent is now gradually occupying his own position in Hollywood, but when the two of them faced off against Jack Nicholson, their performances were already perfect. For the actors, although they were not reduced to the point of being beaten, the two young people felt the gap from the bottom of their hearts.

It is the understanding of the lens and self-perception brought by time and life experience. It is a concept that cannot be taught by words and deeds. It is a performing art that has formed its own unique style.
