[US Entertainment] 1994

"Isn't it nice to be a vagrant?" Rui Fan smiled, "If given the chance, I would also like to be a vagrant."

Josh gave him a blank look: "People who are full of work will not understand my pain."

"No, Josh, I don't think you're suffering because you don't have a job, you're suffering because you don't have money..."

"That's right, what you said is absolutely right, my ideal is to have money to spend every day without having to work." Josh sighed, ""The Uninhibited Sky" is a rare good job for me, back to Los Angeles In the future, I will have to continue running the union and the production crew, and the situation will not be much better than it is now."

Josh knew very well that this state would last for a long time, unless he could impress the audience and critics when "Unruly Sky" was released, he might have the chance to get more jobs.

But Josh wasn't too worried. After all, the most difficult moment had passed, and he had at least had a chance to succeed.Compared with actors of the same age as him, he has decades of memory from his previous life and a system that helps him to forge ahead. Although he can't rely on gossip to make headlines like others, Josh didn't intend to take that in the first place. In this way, he appreciates actors who speak with their works more.

After a while, the assistant director came to remind all the actors to start filming, Rui Fan patted Josh on the shoulder: "Take your time, don't be too anxious, if I have a suitable role here, I will introduce it to you of."

"Thank you, Rui Fan."

"you are welcome."

In the last scene, Mike and other male whores buried the dead old Bob, and in stark contrast, Scott was also attending his father's funeral. He inherited his father's inheritance and returned to high society. The original rebellious life.

Josh wore a black coat with a light-colored tie and a celebrity hairstyle, standing solemnly on the lawn.The outstanding appearance and upright figure make Josh very familiar with playing the role of a high-class person—the old Tom’s status as a lawyer gives the Josh brothers the opportunity to meet the upper-class celebrities. In addition, the education and The family environment undoubtedly gave Josh a rare gentleman's demeanor, which is hard to see in boys of his age, especially in Hollywood, an area where early fame is advocating, and most of them are young before graduating from high school. A young man who came to the film industry to work hard.

This is a scene in the script where Scott attends his father's funeral.The priest reads the eulogy in front of him, and the girl he loves stands beside him, but Scott is distracted in this scene.

He couldn't help but cast his eyes to the other side of the grass.

There, the male prostitutes who used to be in his circle were seeing Bob off. Compared with the solemn atmosphere on one side of him, the atmosphere on the other side was very cheerful. The male prostitutes played the accordion and sang ballads, although the funeral was so simple and terrible , but full of sincerity.

Josh saw Phoenix pick up a sunflower, put it in his nose and smell it gently.

This is what Josh admires most about River Phoenix. Although his character is gentle and shy, he does not have much similarities with the character of Mike, but he can always accurately interpret the psychology of this character. The bravery of love, he can still make himself happy when he is lost.

Suddenly, the singing faded away.A male prostitute yelled Bob's name, which seemed to kick off a prelude. The next second, everyone was yelling Bob's name. Try to compare whose yelling is louder.

In this scene, Josh's performance is very simple, he only needs to cast his eyes to the other end. Of course, although it is written in the script, Josh never intends to just make a dull expression.

The connotation of Scott's role is not rich enough. If he doesn't dig hard, this role will always be shrouded in the shadow of Mike played by Rui Fan, which is not what Josh wants to see.

So at the beginning of the performance, Josh put a lot of effort into his eyes.In Josh's understanding, Scott is not without nostalgia for his past life, but the reality is that, just like the difference between two funerals, there is already an unbridgeable gap between him and Mike, so Scott In addition to nostalgia for the past, there is also a trace of nostalgia for Mike.

Josh's gaze wandered from time to time.

He listened to the pastor's eulogy, but he was not serious enough. He was focused when he looked into the distance, but his reason told him that he should pay more attention to the funeral in front of him.

Under the photographer's lens, Josh's eyes were bloodshot. Although his expression was stiff, his eyes revealed his reluctance and nostalgia, but in the end, Josh finally withdrew his eyes.

Because he needs to say goodbye to the past.

The last scene ended like this, but Josh felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart, probably because the whole story of "The Unruly Sky" was too depressing.Gus Van Sant specially created the special roles of the two male prostitutes. Such identities are already considered unique in the movie. In addition to the special identities, Mike’s experience makes people feel distressed, and Scott’s final defection is even more so. It is a complete tragedy. Under different backgrounds, completely different lives and thoughts, it is impossible for two completely different people to be together.

"Josh, what's wrong with you?" Rui Fan looked at him worriedly, "You don't look very happy."

"That's because I think this ending is really fucked up." Josh shrugged. "But this is art. If it all ends with a happy ending, the movie will not have the charm that people will remember. I understand this very well."

"From this point of view, being an actor is indeed a very interesting job. And Josh, the ending is not as bad as you imagined, is it, Gus?"

Gus Van Sant came between the two with a smile: "In the end, there will always be someone who is willing to help the fainted Mike, but that person is not Scott, but someone else. For Mike, as long as If someone is willing to love him, he will live well, won't he?"

"Although the process is very difficult, maybe Mike has always met people like Scott, but we must always have goodwill and expectations. One day, Mike will meet someone who truly loves him."

"I hope so." Josh sighed, "The filming is over anyway, so there's no point in thinking so much."

After work was over, Gus Van Sant specially took all the actors and staff of the crew to have a meal, and went to KTV together in the evening to have a good time before returning to his residence.

Josh still took Rui Fan's car, and the two of them slowly got up until noon the next day. Josh could barely open his eyes, but seeing Rui Fan's swollen walnut-like eyes, he still couldn't bear to He couldn't help laughing out loud: "Dear Rui Fan, what did you do last night to make yourself like this?"

Rui Fan gave Josh a hard look: "It's not that a certain pig howled all night, my ears are almost ringing, please, dear Josh, don't go to KTV in the future, I really can't stand a profane music God's guy becomes my friend."

Josh: "..."

Born with tone deafness or something, he is also very desperate!

And he definitely didn't mean to blaspheme the music, God, you know he has no idea of ​​karaoke at all, if it wasn't for those guys making a fuss, would he go up and grab the mic?

The most important thing is that the songs he chose are definitely the songs he is good at. Classic songs like "Hotel California" and "Last Christmas" can be disliked to such an extent that he sings... Josh himself feels very helpless .

Probably God opened up his filming skills, but was stingy to give him a little talent in music.

And Phoenix, a lucky guy, not only got a lot of recognition for his filming, he also formed a band himself!

What a nuisance!

After packing up, Josh consciously sat in the back row, his bag was still full of snacks purchased from the supermarket, this time he invited Rui Fan to eat, Rui Fan did not refuse at all.The other party was still holding the "The Great Gatsby" in his hand, and Josh had no desire to read it just by looking at the cover.

He yawned, watching Rui Fan with slit eyes: "At first I never thought that we would become friends, you don't seem to be approachable at all."

"That's because your judgment has never been accurate." Rui Fan closed the book, "But to be honest, I didn't guess it either, because you...look different from me."

"What's the difference?" Josh stuffed a piece of potato chips into his mouth and started to chew. "Because I'm so handsome, so I don't look close?"

"Because you look like a spoiled child, you don't have to worry about anything, you can pursue your dreams wantonly." Rui Fan smiled, "It's really different."

"I'd rather you think I'm more handsome." Josh sighed, "You're the same age as me, and we still have a long life ahead. You never know what the future will be like, so there's no need to be too pessimistic. Of course, I understand You, if you are as handsome as me, you won't feel pessimistic."

"What you said makes sense." Rui Fan put his hand into the bag of potato chips and smoked twice with great effort, only to see the residue of half a piece of potato chips. He patted his forehead helplessly, "Aren't you out of money? Why? Still so extravagant?"

Josh smiled sheepishly: "My sister... sent me the money, and I will have money again."

Rui Fan suddenly had the urge to hit someone.
