[US Entertainment] 1994

"Well... Colin, isn't that your friend?" By the car window, Josh looked around and evasively. If Colin was by his side at this moment, he could easily spot his abnormality, but at this moment, across the phone, Naturally, Colin didn't know that his dear brother's expression was stained with panic, and his usually lively face was also tangled into a ball due to the sudden tension.

"Yes, he is my friend, but I think he seems to care about you..." Colin laughed, "Of course, that may just be my illusion, after all Carlos is not a warm guy, but he The frequency of mentioning you is slightly higher than other people, I think it's a bit strange."

Listening to Colin's explanation, Josh was inexplicably relieved: "Oh, I think it's probably because I'm your younger brother, your only younger brother who has developed in Hollywood..."

"Josh?"

"Ok?"

"Why do I think you're nervous?"

"...how come, Colin, you think too much, you feel that way probably because Carlos Roth is a key figure in Hollywood, I look at him like Wall Street people look at Buffett."

"Well, my dear brother, your reason convinced me." Colin smiled, "Carlos has encountered some troubles during this period, I thought you are familiar with him, and I plan to ask you something related to him. "

"You think too much, Colin." Josh pouted, "Will you become friends with Buffett?"

"Josh, Carlos is not a difficult person to get along with. When you really become friends with him, you will understand."

Josh: No, it's totally not going to happen because they're more than just friends.

Seeing that Colin had the intention to talk about the topic of Carlos Ross forever, Josh quickly changed the subject, mentioned his new movie recently, and told him the news that Serena won a few days ago, Colin There was no doubt at all, after congratulating his lovely siblings, he hung up the phone resolutely.

"Huh..." Josh breathed a sigh of relief, and he swore that if Colin planned to keep entangled in this matter, he would accidentally show his feet.

Although his sexuality has always been clear, he has no intention of being honest with his family immediately. If Colin knew that his best friend and his younger brother were actually friends with sex, Josh couldn't imagine that picture...

The most important thing is that Josh is an extremely unreliable image in the eyes of the whole family. Once this inherent image is attached with an illusory future, Josh said that it will really be a very, very bad result.

There are tens of thousands of dollars left in his pocket. Although Josh often goes to the labor union, the current movie market is too unfriendly to him.Probably because of the sequelae of the Oscars, Hollywood has not yet recovered from the lingering heat of the Oscars. The entire April, May, and February film markets are somewhat deserted. Even if there are a few big productions in preparation, all of them are Oscar winners paired with well-known directors. , has nothing to do with a young actor like Josh.

In any case, if Josh wants to get a new opportunity, he must at least wait for his first movie to be released, especially after "Booty Skies" and "My Cousin Vinny", Josh knows this well. more clearly.

He shot these two films largely because of his overwhelming luck, but from the process of running around, auditioning, and practicing, Josh tasted countless ups and downs, and it is precisely because of this that he realized how illusory luck is He cannot always be the lucky one, nor can he encounter opportunities every time because of the absence of a certain actor.

Before relying on God again, he must first prove himself.

With this mentality, Josh is not in a hurry to find opportunities for new movies.As summer vacation approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the air is starting to get a little stuffy. Josh drives his new car around the streets of Los Angeles every day, and the days are not to mention pleasant.Right now, Los Angeles is still bustling and crowded, but compared to the bustling modernity of the later generations, it has a more time-infected style. Josh drives the car, and occasionally meets beautiful girls to strike up a conversation. The wind blows their skirts, pink and tender. The ruddy face is full of youthful style.

Josh would smile, blow a kiss, whistle, and drive away until the pretty girls in sight were little black dots.

Very happy.

The more it was at this time, the more Josh was grateful that God was willing to give him a chance to start over.In his previous life, there was only one dream of being an actor that was not really realized, but the meaning of doing it again is not only to realize the dream, but to re-observe the world with his eyes, and his feelings will be completely different.

After staying at home for more than a month, Mr. Manager suddenly came and brought Josh quite exciting news.

"Josh, have you heard of the movie "Scent of a Woman"? An Italian film that was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film more than ten years ago..."

"Scent of a Woman?" Josh frowned slightly, "Whose movie?"

"Italian director Dino Risi, "Scent of a Woman" is his classic. He is well-known in Italy and Europe, but not many people in the United States have heard of him. According to the information I got, this movie It might be picked up by Universal, and Bo Goodman is writing an adaptation, so I got an audition for you, and when the script is finished, you can try this movie."

Listening to Arnold Keynes' explanation, the doubts in Josh's eyes slowly dissipated. The name Bo Goodman is not unfamiliar in Hollywood, especially in the screenwriting industry. His "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" can be described as a moment classic. In the 90s, there was only one movie that really made Bo Goodman famous again-"Scent of a Woman".

Josh has watched this movie countless times.

Especially Al Pacino's outstanding performance.The Oscar-level actor showed his understanding of acting unreservedly in this film. After several years of accumulation, Pacino's acting skills have become more and more proficient. With his foil, Chris O'Donnell Na is a total rookie, and the better Pacino plays, the worse he looks -- even if, for the most part, his performance isn't bad at all.

Josh narrowed his eyes and looked at Arnold Keynes suspiciously: "Why are you so sure this will be a good movie?"

Arnold Keynes shrugged: "Probably because I have an aunt who is the mother of one of Al Pacino's daughters. Of course, they have separated long ago, but I don't think it will be troublesome to ask some news from Pacino. "

"What an intricate relationship... so are you showing off?"

Arnold Keynes puffed out his chest and coughed lightly: "It's a mistake to promote your idol in front of the agent too early, simple Josh, I have already seen you through."

Josh gave him a blank look: "Well, dear Mr. Agent, thank you for bringing me this news anyway."

Arnold Keynes waved his hand: "I don't need your thanks, as long as you can get this opportunity, this is the greatest compliment to me. You know how difficult the competition for this movie will be. Although Al Pacino Because "Revolution" has been out of film for 4 years, but these two years have slowed down, and his vision for choosing feature films has always been worthy of recognition, and Martin Brest is a very reliable director, so Josh, come on, I hope You can get your chance."

"I will do my best not to disappoint you, Arnold." Josh shrugged, "I've already planned to dedicate the entire second half of the year to this movie."

"Sounds very brave, but is it true?"

"One hundred percent, there is absolutely no falsehood." Josh laughed, "The fact is, "The Uninhibited Sky" and "My Cousin Vinny" are both released in the second half of this year. If the audition for the new movie you mentioned is also this year , then it will be too crowded to make a new film, after all, it is my first and second film, and I have to be responsible for them, right?"

"That's right." Arnold Keynes nodded in agreement, "You must have an outstanding performance, this is the first step to success."

"I'll try."

After Arnold Keynes left, Josh jumped up from the bed excitedly.

"Scent of a Woman"!Al Pacino!

No matter which factor is enough to make him excited!

"Scent of a Woman" is Al Pacino's masterpiece that won the Oscar winner. Even if you look at the entire 90s, this movie is also a classic among Hollywood dramas. This is almost the best news Josh has received since he crossed the film circle ——He immediately felt the difference between having an agent and not having an agent. If he was still alone, he wouldn't even get the audition news for "Scent of a Woman".

Of course, Josh will not regret that he did not find an agent as soon as possible. In his opinion, "The Uninhibited Sky" and "My Cousin Vinny" are both very good movies, and he has been able to get roles in them. is a kind of luck.

But——Josh wiped his palms, his eyes sparkled, and he was already looking forward to his audition for "Scent of a Woman".

That's "Scent of a Woman"!

Although Al Pacino is no match for Daniel Day-Lewis and Tom Hanks in terms of the number of Oscars, but Coppola's "Godfather" series alone is enough to make him famous in film history.The most important thing is that although his number of trophies is not high, when it comes to the number of nominations, he has left many male actors far behind.

The Oscar is indeed the best proof of an actor's strength, but in Josh's view, the nomination itself is the purest proof. After all, whether it wins or not depends on the film company's public relations ability and the judges' selfish considerations, but the nomination is mixed with the outside world. There are far fewer factors.

It can be said that every actor who has been nominated for multiple Oscars is a true acting school.
