Chapter 018 Reconciliation

This scene in the movie is the source of the intersection between Mike and Scott, and for Josh, it is also an important opportunity for him to interpret the role in his own way.

Josh doesn't have a clear plan for his dream of being an actor, he just hopes that he can become more successful - the existence of the system just makes up for his lack of motivation. In any case, Josh has a goal that needs to be conquered, and that is Next year's Golden Globe nominations.

That means he has to work hard to play the role of Scott well.

Scott and Gary moved Mike under the tree, and under the dim light of the moonlight, Scott slowly told his story.

Josh's expression was calm, but when facing the camera, his eyes were frighteningly bright, and the broken hair on his forehead couldn't stop the tiredness and despair hidden in his eyes.

His voice was exceptionally calm, but the sadness in his words was exceptionally contagious.

"I grew up in a place like this, living with my dad. He always thought he was superior to everyone, including his only son, me."

Suddenly, Josh’s mood changed.

His tone was still calm, but a trace of tyrannical emotion gradually appeared in his expression.

"I want to throw up just thinking I'm his son."

"You've got to be as good as him, lift as high as him, throw as far as him, or you'll have to listen to him."

Regardless of whether Mike, who was lying on the ground, didn't hear him, Scott was still chattering like a confused child.

Josh always felt that the Scott character hadn't grown up either.He has always grown up under the shadow of his father, even if he escaped his original living environment by becoming a male prostitute in order to revenge his father, he still cared about the way his father treated him, and felt resentful because of it, he never let it go from the beginning, even though the appearance was mature , but in fact he can't even save himself, let alone save Mike who lacks warmth.

"It never occurred to him that I was just a child, and he felt that I was humiliating him."

After closing his eyes and meditating for a while, Josh had a faint smile on his lips.

Gary calls for Scott to leave, and Scott turns, but before leaving, he takes off his coat and puts it on top of Mike.

After the performance, Gus Van Sant came up and patted Josh on the shoulder: "This performance is great. I always feel that I have found a treasure. It turns out that this is true."

Josh smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Director."

After Gus Van Sant left, River Phoenix stood in front of Josh at some point, his expression was very sincere, with a trace of guilt: "Josh, your performance is wonderful."

Josh's smile was a little weak: "Thank you."

River Phoenix was 100% sure that Josh was angry with him, but no matter what Rui Fan thought, he couldn't guess the reason for Josh's anger except for accepting Foley's drugs.

He didn't even expect that Josh, who had always been good-tempered, would be so angry.It was as if he had never guessed that Josh, who was the same age as him, had acting skills that were not inferior to his.

Rui Fan was shocked at the scene with Josh today!

Ever since he met Josh, Rui Fan only thought that he was a lively and good-tempered actor, but he was lying there with his eyes slightly closed, and he could hear Josh's lines in his ears, from tone of voice to emotion, even after filming The other party's actions in the camera, if he didn't know it was acting, Rui Fan would have thought that Josh was Scott.

The character of Scott was best played by Josh, at least in Rui Fan's opinion, none of the actors he has worked with has ever given him such a feeling.

Rui Fan lowered his head, his eyes wandered a little: "Josh, I'm sorry."

Josh raised his eyebrows: "What are you apologizing to me for?"

"Are you angry about Foley?" Rui Fan explained, "That's because I want to figure out..."

Before Rui Fan finished speaking, Josh stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing: "It's meaningless for you to say these things to me, to be honest, I don't care if you touch drugs or not, it's a personal choice, I should respect you. But I have a natural distaste for drug addicts, and if you do, even with good reason, we're not friends anymore."

"Rui Fan, I know you are tired of being an actor. If you want to rest, you can take a long vacation for yourself, but if you are addicted to drugs, your life is likely to be ruined. This is what I do. Reasons to be angry."

"In order to avoid the sadness of losing my friend in the future, why don't I terminate this friendship in advance, what do you think?"

"Josh..." Rui Fan wanted to say something else, but looking at Josh who was exuding the aura of being unapproachable, he still retreated silently.

The filming of today's scene is over, and the actors should go back to their residences to rest. Usually, Josh goes back with other people, but today he deliberately placed an order.After what happened to Foley, Josh was really not in a good mood. He thought he helped these people avoid possible bad luck in the future, but others didn't seem to think so, and even thought he had done something good.

There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Josh's mouth.

He has done what he should do, and he can't stop others from seeking death.

After filming a scene, the next day happened to be a rest day. Josh ran around the house in the morning, then went to a nearby supermarket to do some shopping, and when he came back, he locked himself in the room without even having lunch. Go downstairs to eat.

Rodney Harvey stuffed potato chips into his mouth and asked curiously, "Is that guy trying to starve himself to death?"

River Phoenix frowned, dropped his fork, and looked up at the closed door upstairs.

"I really believe that guy Josh can be angry for several days."

Rui Fan glanced at him: "But Josh is indeed right. If you still want to continue to be an actor, Rodney, you should avoid drugs."

Even Rui Fan didn't realize how high his voice was.

Rodney Harvey heard a door knock upstairs, and looked at Jim Caviezel innocently: "What's wrong with Rui Fan, who did I offend?"

Jim Caviezel wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth after eating the last bite of the burger: "I've been thinking about that all day, I think Josh did the right thing, we are all newcomers who just came to Hollywood to work hard, too It’s not good to be addicted to drugs early, and that kind of thing can’t be quit if you want to quit. Think about Drew Barrymore, even with Steven Spielberg as godfather, it didn’t stop her from falling. Not as good as Barrymore."

Rodney Harvey kicked the corner of the table: "Why are you all so reasonable now, and I am the only one who made a mistake?"

Jim Caviezel shrugged: "Of course not, I just understand why Josh is angry."

Although they are young and energetic, they are not stupid after all.

Foley brought drugs/products here with no good intentions. It would be fine if they brought out such things at a bar party after the shooting, but everyone lived together to deepen the relationship, so that it would be convenient for the subsequent shooting work. Addiction does nothing but make them look like Foley.

For young people like Josh, Jim, and Rodney, "The Uninhibited Sky" can almost be said to be their first movie. It is hard to start their careers from a small role. Are they responsible?

Obviously not.

I don't know what the three of them discussed, but the next morning, Josh opened the door, and three big smiling faces greeted his eyes.

The corner of Josh's mouth twitched slightly: "What are you doing?"

"Josh, let's go to the studio together!"

"Josh, freshly baked apple pie, paired with the most delicious local cheese, would you like some?"

"Josh..."

"Josh..."

His name was buzzing in his mind, Josh rolled his eyes helplessly: "Say, what's the matter?"

"Josh, we are here to apologize to you."

"apologize?"

"Thanks for stopping Foley that day and our bad attitude earlier, sorry."

Josh looked at the three people opposite him quietly, and he could see that their apologies were sincere, without any perfunctory.

Josh sighed: "Although I don't want to accept it, but for the sake of your sincerity, well, I accept it."

Rodney Harvey rushed up and hugged Josh immediately: "Seriously, buddy, you were so handsome when you hit Foley twice, did you learn boxing?"

Rodney's weight is definitely not light. Josh, whose neck was stuck by him, felt that there was a mountain on his body, and only a little air flowed from the neck where he was stuck. chicken.

Josh stared, and beat the opponent's iron arm with difficulty, breathing hard: "Stupid Rodney, come down for me!"

"No, Josh, this is my way of expressing admiration."

Josh broke free with great difficulty, and when he was about to hit Rodney, the other party couldn't run any farther.Josh ate breakfast slowly, his cold face from the previous two days had long since disappeared, his brows were crooked, the light in his eyes was burning hot, and his smile was too bright.

Josh was already handsome in appearance, and it was easy to become the focus of attention while walking on the road. Because he was in a particularly happy mood today, on the way to the studio, countless girls stopped to admire Josh's handsome face.

After Rodney Harvey, who was used as a foil, blew countless whistles but did not respond, he fell into Jim Caviezel's arms dejectedly, but Caviezel let go of him without mercy.

Rodney's lament was about to break through the sky: "If I knew I wouldn't reconcile with that guy, my limelight would have been robbed."

The author has something to say: I am obviously not good at describing the protagonist's superb acting skills...

There is another update in the evening, not too early, so there is no need to wait.
