[US Entertainment] 1994

Tears seemed to glisten in River Phoenix's eyes. At this moment, he had completely transformed into Mike, pouring out his love to Scott.

Probably because of his infection, or the mutual infection of emotions between the two, Josh also forgot all kinds of reality and completely devoted himself to the interpretation of Scott's role.

Josh is [-]% sure that Rui Fan is definitely a strong opponent. His extraordinary acting skills make Josh, who is his peers, unknowingly start to compete, but this is not a bad thing, but it can motivate Josh to improve.

After filming the scene, the sky was already very dark, Josh and Rui Fan were walking back with a single shoulder bag on their backs.The weather was a bit cold, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Only the faint light of the street lamp illuminated their shadows, which were narrow and long.

Josh suddenly reached out and patted Rui Fan's shoulder lightly.

"doing what?"

"High five." Josh looked at him with a smile, "Rui Fan, your performance today is really great! I feel... very stressed."

Rui Fan finally turned his head, stretched out his palm, and patted Josh's hand lightly: "Why do you say that?"

"My goal is different from yours." Josh looked up at the sky, kicked the slate, and raised dust, "You are disgusted with Hollywood, but I have been fighting to occupy a place in Hollywood, all talented actors They are all my opponents."

"You're already great." Rui Fan looked at Josh steadfastly, and suddenly smiled, "At least among the actors I work with, there are very few who are better than you."

Josh was a little stunned.From yesterday to today, he was used to seeing Rui Fan's cold face, and he felt particularly uncomfortable when the other party suddenly smiled.

Josh felt that it was weird for him to get along with Rui Fan. When the two were not familiar with each other, their eyebrows were cold at first, and then the relationship finally became harmonious. He lost his anger, but when he was angry, he became Rui Fan again.

It's like two elementary school students who are at odds with each other!

"Thank you." Josh whispered.

Rui Fan shook his head: "What I said is the truth, and you know, if it were someone else, he would be annoyed by my behavior of modifying the lines, but you didn't, this is what I admire the most about you, after all, it is possible would offend you..."

"It's okay." Josh smiled slightly, "It's okay, because no one understands Mike's psychology better than me."

Rui Fan blinked, with doubts on his face.

"Because he and I are the same kind of people."

Rui Fan's expression suddenly turned from doubt to rigidity, which made him look unnatural: "Josh..."

Josh still smiled: "Yes, that's what you guessed."

Rui Fan suddenly fell silent.

"Did I scare you?"

Rui Fan's silence lasted for a moment, and was quickly broken by himself: "No."

"You are willing to tell me because you regard me as a friend, don't you?" Rui Fan's smile is extremely bright at this moment, he has a very youthful appearance, and his smile seems to melt like ice and snow, with incomparable innocence, " Josh, I will hide this secret for you and live up to your trust."

"I know you will."

In the shadow that Josh couldn't see, Rui Fan's smile faded slowly, his fingers twisted into a tangled ball, but soon, the smile rose slightly on his face, he stared at Josh's shadow under the street lamp, The pace gradually slowed down.

"Rui Fan, what are you doing, hurry up!"

"Oh, right there!"

River Phoenix thought of the sudden desire after filming that day, and thought of the disappointment when he learned that Josh didn't come home all night.

But more, he thought of the lines of "Unruly Sky", an expanded version by himself.

"What do I mean to you?"

"What do you mean to me, Mike, you're my best friend."

Rui Fan thought, this is probably the best interpretation of the relationship between him and Josh Walter.

He was a little disappointed when he heard the "friend" in Josh's mouth before filming, because he secretly thought of another relationship that existed above the friendship, but after filming this scene, he was immersed in Mike's world , touched the heart of the character of Mike, he suddenly understood Mike, and also understood Scott. In the case of being hopeless as a lover, it is actually a better choice to be friends.

Probably because he saw Josh's clear eyes——

Let's just be friends, the other party's eyes are too clear without a trace of desire, why bother the other party with the tangled matter of feelings?

"Rui Fan, you're walking too slowly, you won't even be able to sleep if you go on like this!"

"It's noisy to Josh, can't you wait for me?"

------

Josh suddenly found that the relationship between him and Rui Fan had returned to the initial stage, and the awkward emotions completely dissipated. The two laughed and told pornographic jokes together, and at night they gathered together with Rodney and Jim to have a party , K songs, the feelings are getting deeper every day.

Rui Fan started to tell Josh about his family, his younger siblings, his past life.

"I don't like filming. If I have the opportunity, I want to run all over the place with the band, hold a concert wherever I want, and find a grass to lie down when I am tired. Hollywood is a crazy thing for me. I’m still not used to the place.”

"I envy you very much. Although you always dislike your brother and sister, I can guess that you must love them very much."

When he said this, Josh and Rui Fan were lying on the grass behind Gus Van Sant's house. The grass had withered, and their backs were covered with grass clippings.With a dead grass in his mouth, Josh pondered: "I think you can be an actor like Daniel Day Lewis."

"The Englishman?"

"Well."

"You have talent, Rui Fan. If you leave Hollywood, it will be a loss for the audience who love movies." Josh spat out the grass roots, "But you don't have to push yourself too hard, of course you have to bear the burden of the whole family Responsibility, but that is not predestined by God, your parents are the ones who should bear the responsibility most.”

In Josh's memory, after Rui Fan's death, his siblings lived a very good life.Maybe the gods destined this family to have a bond with Hollywood. Rui Fan’s younger brother Jacques Phoenix has been nominated for an Oscar winner for many times, and his younger sister Rebetty Phoenix has become the person in charge of the foundation named after Rui Fan Phoenix. Phoenix was at one point a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foley's band, and her youngest sister, Summer Phoenix, became the wife of Casey Affleck.

"You can film a movie and then rest for a while. The media's pursuit is only temporary. They can't always focus on you alone. To be honest, the media's praise is often bullshit. They will boast River Phoenix, they will also praise others, and after you have been silent for a while, you will find that no one cares about you at all, they care more about the relationship between Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder."

Rui Fan looked at him: "You seem to be very experienced?"

"That's because I'm well prepared." Josh patted him on the shoulder, "I'm a lucky person in terms of growing up, but you are a hundred times luckier than me in terms of being an actor." .”

"I still remember the state where I was so excited to get the first role, and then the shit male lead saw me." Josh held out a finger, "He pointed at me and said to me, this little boy from Where did it come from, his hairstyle of the last century doesn't match our TV series at all."

"God knows, he's just jealous that I'm more handsome than him."

"But God is still fair. That shitty TV series was so miserable that the TV station couldn't stand it after only a few episodes. I guess the leading actor is also waiting for the chance to become famous like me, but it is undoubtedly too difficult."

Rui Fan held his chin and looked at him with a smile: "You are indeed handsome."

Josh nodded: "I think so too."

"Thank you Josh."

Josh tilted his head to look at him: "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"You encouraged me. Before you, no one said such words to me." Rui Fan's voice was low and gentle, "My manager will only let me seize the opportunity of becoming famous and continue to climb up. For an actor, taking a break means falling. Joaquin, my brother told me I could take a break, but I always felt...that was hard."

"But only you are the master of your destiny."

"You're right." In Rui Fan's eyes, Josh saw his shadow.

"Josh, I have to remind you of one thing."

"what?"

"You let me have confidence, which is equivalent to setting yourself up as the strongest opponent."

Josh stared at him: "River Phoenix, do you think I'll be scared?"

"It's time to go back. After this film is finished, I still have a few scripts in my hand. After they are all over, I can take a good rest for a while."

Josh stood up and patted off the grass clippings on his body: "Come on, Rui Fan."

"I will."

Unknowingly, half of December has passed. Because of the tacit cooperation between the two protagonists, Josh and Rui Fan, the filming progress of "Unruly Sky" has far exceeded the crew's expectations. A large sum.

Gus Van Sant said with emotion: "I will still look for actors with mature acting skills to make movies in the future. They can not only make the feeling I want, but also make the movie show the most perfect state. It's great!"

Lori Parker nodded: "I can't wait to see the finished product."

Soon, the film was filming the last scene.

After the filming of this scene, the crew will disband, River and Josh will return to Los Angeles, and Gus Van Sant will continue to produce and edit the film.

"I don't want to rest at all," Josh complained. "When I go home, I have to be a vagrant again."

He had already spent all the tens of thousands of dollars that the film crew gave him. He almost had no money to buy gifts for Serena, so he could only pretend to send a few books to encourage Serena to continue studying hard.

Then, naturally, he encountered Serena's merciless ridicule: "I have read these books when I was in high school, and the evaluation is that they are terrible and meaningless pseudoscience works."

"...give me some face, will you Serena?"

"I guess you must have no money to send me these, poor Josh, I just got a big bonus recently, and I sent half of it to you, remember to save some money."

"..."

"Oh."

Josh felt so wronged, so wronged.
