[US Entertainment] 1994

"It's really boring." The other party twitched the corner of his mouth, and stuffed the money into his pocket slowly, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"

River Phoenix frowned slightly: "Your name, age, working hours, what do you usually like to do?"

The other party casually sat down, took out a box of matches from his trouser pocket, and lit a cigarette: "My name is Jack, I am 28 years old, and my working hours... start at 8 o'clock in the evening. Generally, I pick up 4 customers a day, men and women. There are, generally they will give me 50 yuan, generous customers will give more, of course there are some who will give less, some guests leave after sleeping, some want other special services, but I generally do not pick up, because I pick up I might not be able to work for a week after that."

"Some people are far more perverted than you think."

The smoky smoke permeated the small space, which was a bit choking, but Josh and Phoenix didn't even frown, and took a pen to record quickly in the notebook.This scene made Jack laugh instead: "Seriously, are you really actors? Aren't those little bitches supposed to be kneeling in hotel gowns and giving blow/fuck to the producer? Some fools actually came to this place to listen to a Male prostitutes telling stories?"

"What you said was just an example, Jack."

"Come on, I know it very well, but in different ways." Jack stubbed out one cigarette butt and lit another. "We are for money, they are for fame, the essence is the same."

Compared with the 20-year-old Josh and River Phoenix, Jack is undoubtedly much more mature. In fact, what he said is not completely wrong. Accompanying/sleeping is indeed one of the shortcuts for newcomers in Hollywood. This method is still semi-public , no one will be ashamed of it.

As long as you become famous, as long as you learn how to operate your own fame, even if the way you get to the top is not glorious, you can still stand at the top in the future and hold the right to speak in the entire circle.

The two were silent for a while, and Jack continued to talk in the smoke.

"Nobody wants to do this," he said. "My father was a drunk. His job was to complain and beat women and children every day. Finally, one day, my mother couldn't bear this kind of life. She shot and exploded." Shot him in the head, shot him several times in the stomach and thigh, and finally she got the freedom she wanted in prison."

"Then there's me. Maybe I'm born with bad genes. I haven't been able to write an inspirational story about the American Dream. I've been in this industry for 10 years. It's easy to make money in this industry, and it's me who enjoys it. There's nothing wrong with it."

Although Jack didn't care, the expressions on Josh and River Phoenix's faces were the same, with deep frowns and tightly wrinkled lips—although Jack didn't say it clearly, one can imagine what a terrible story behind everything he said. s story.

Ordinary people can only talk about prostitutes and male prostitutes with insults, but who would want to pursue such a career if they had a choice?

Because it was destined not to be fair, even though Josh and Rui Fan sat here and listened quietly, all Jack showed was a deep self-mockery.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, until River Phoenix broke the deadlock.

"I heard that you plan to go out, can you take us with you?"

"Of course." Jack said without hesitation, "But it will test a person's psychological endurance. You'd better prepare in advance."

The two didn't understand what Jack meant at first, but when the group walked towards a nearby medium-sized supermarket, the sudden accusation made them understand everything in an instant.

"Jack, your dick/ass is itching again? Want me to relieve the itching?"

"Disgusting Jack, he's an unisex bastard, rubbish!"

"The two boys behind you look very nice, tsk tsk tsk, I don't know how much it costs for a night, if it's not expensive, I would like to taste what a man is like."

Jack seemed to be used to their insults, his face sank, and the words he spit out were enough to make all the gossiping men die of shame: "Slack, shut up, you have to use a magnifying glass to find that three centimeter thing, Even if I was given 1 yuan, I wouldn’t accept it, it’s too expensive, and I’ll have to spend more money to see an ophthalmologist.”

"Reedus, if I'm a bastard, you can ask your wife, you can't satisfy her at all, I am the man who satisfies her most in the world."

He glanced up at River Phoenix and Josh: "Do you have anything to say?"

River Phoenix and Josh looked at each other silently, and they both saw that they were about to move in each other's eyes.The next second, at the moment when the three or four men on the opposite side were cursing wildly, Josh and Rui Fan picked up a few rocks and threw them over. Knock down, but such a force is enough for these bitches to suffer!

As a star, River Phoenix enjoys excellent fitness conditions, and Josh exercises his body by running every day. When it comes to strength, they are indeed much stronger than these middle-aged men who have been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

The two of them only intended to teach these people a lesson, and they didn't intend to continue entanglement. By the time those people reacted, they had dragged Jack and ran away. How could those people catch up with them? They shake off.

"Jack, this won't get you into trouble, will it?"

A contemptuous smile curled up at the corner of Jack's mouth: "They're just a little bit tougher, they're all useless rubbish."

In this way, the two stayed together from 5 o'clock in the morning until the afternoon. Although Jack's tone was always mean, he was not a bad and difficult person--Josh could even feel something hidden deep in his heart, he He wanted to get out of that environment, but he couldn't.

This reminds Josh of Mike and Scott in "The Uninhibited Sky". Although they are both male prostitutes, Scott has a bright and bright escape route. He can break away from that muddy environment and return to the upper class at any time, while Mike But no, Mike's reliance on Scott is like standing on the edge of a cliff. Once Scott decides to withdraw, he will instantly fall from the cliff and be smashed to pieces.

Josh was in a daze silently.

River Phoenix, who was sitting with him in the back row, suddenly stopped him: "Hello!"

Josh turned his head, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Are we still coming tomorrow?"

"Hmm." Josh nodded heavily, "What about you?"

"I'll come too." River Phoenix showed a smile on his face, "I like Jack that guy very much."

Josh echoed: "Me too."

Many people look down on Jack, but in Josh's opinion, if he is in Jack's environment, he can't do what Jack does.

"You're pretty good at fighting." Rui Fan's smile brightened a bit. He always had a melancholy and quiet appearance to the outside world. It seemed that no one could get into his inner world, but when he smiled, although the smile was very light It's very light, but it can easily make people feel his sincerity and warmth.

Shy and quiet in one, Josh thought, this is probably the reason why many people miss Rui Fan even after he passed away for so many years.

Genius is always favored by people, and there is no arrogance or arrogance in his character, just like a shy and innocent little boy, watching such a person pass away...

Undoubtedly the biggest regret.

"To each other." Josh smiled slyly.

River Phoenix even laughed out loud: "I'm starting to like you guy."

At the moment of the fight just now, he felt that he and Josh Walter had a tacit understanding. What River Phoenix hated the most was the kind of guy who came from a college, had a good family background and liked to put on a proud face, so he was a little bit in the entertainment industry. The only ones who are close to him are bad boys like Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. Fortunately, Josh Walter got two of them, but his temper is not as bad as Rui Fan imagined. his appetite.

Josh stretched out his palm to him: “Me too.”

The two hands "slapped" together.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the car, and the light was dim. For Josh and Rui Fan, this was just a very simple moment in their lives, but for movie fans, this scene witnessed the birth of two geniuses , In the next few years, the miracle created by these two people shocked the entire North American film market.

Rui Fan and Josh went back and forth in the red light district for more than a week.They really wanted to help Jack get rid of that environment, but Jack resolutely refused.

"I've already saved enough money, and I'm going to farm in the countryside in a while, so you're welcome, you've already paid, and I'm just doing a little favor."

The two returned to the hotel to rest for two days. Soon, the cast and crew of "Unruly Sky" arrived in Portland smoothly to start filming.

Due to the participation of River Phoenix, the film attracted a lot of media attention at the beginning of filming, but after the media dug deep into the film's theme and cast, they immediately lost interest in the film and criticized it sharply The whims of Gus Van Sant.

"Golden Globe and Oscar nominee River Phoenix is ​​a novel but stupid decision for a gay movie with a budget of only 300 million. It may even destroy Phoenix's career as an actor. Not all Gay films like "Maurice's Lover" and "My Beautiful Laundromat" are as critically acclaimed, especially for talented young actors. Even if this film is an extraordinary success, River Phoenix himself A career wouldn't help much, and would even just label him gay."

"As for the main character alongside Phoenix, Josh Walter, this is a rookie actor who has never had any important acting experience. Perhaps this identity is the right configuration for this movie..."

Josh threw the newspaper on the ground with a clatter: "Damn trash, this kind of writing is not much better than the school newspaper reporter."

Phoenix drank his coffee slowly: "I'm not angry, what are you anxious about?"
