[US Entertainment] 1994

The all-pervasive media quickly found out more information about Josh, including his education background, filming experience and his outstanding performance in "The Uninhibited Sky". It seems that in an instant, the unknown Josh Walter became a man. Everyone knows.

Josh, who was far away in Toronto, did not expect that he would make waves in North America in such a way. On the one hand, he underestimated the Volpi Cup; on the other hand, he ignored the North American media’s attention to fresh news ——The media loves to hype a fledgling newcomer, such as River Phoenix, who has been called the James Dean of the 90s, and when River passed away, Leonardo DiCapri Ao is considered to be Rui Fan's successor.

But their success is traceable.Rui Fan was nominated for both Oscars and Golden Globes, and then used a Volpi Cup to establish his acting skills. Leonardo also showed his prowess in "Growing Pains" first, and then directly developed in the film industry. Gradually attracting the attention of the whole of North America, and Josh - he has almost completed a magnificent turn from nobody to Venice actor, so that when the news reached North America, everyone was asking each other who this young man was.

It was as if he had grown out of a pot overnight.

Soon, the photos of Josh on the Venice stage were spread to the country. The network is not yet developed, but the efficiency of the paper media is really amazing. Suddenly, more than half of the audience in the United States knew that there was a movie in Hollywood. The young Venice actor, this actor is also exceptionally handsome.

"I'm amazed, why this guy was unknown before, his face... I can't describe the feeling of heartbeat when I saw this face, when he focused on the camera, his eyes seemed to light up, God, I like him."

"Josh Walter, I've already remembered the name, he looks youthful and clean, I can't wait for "Boogie Sky" to be released, it must be a very interesting movie!"

In this way, Josh accumulated the first batch of fans, before "Uninhibited Sky" was released.

The crew is still in Toronto, but North American film critics have already sent the earliest film reviews back to China through emails, especially the theme of "Uninhibited Sky" is special, and the two leading actors have successfully crowned the best actor in Venice. What a movie.

The film critics of the "Washington Post" used the title "Act and Reality, Only a Line Between". The reason why a movie impresses people is that the performance of the actors accounts for more than half of the factors. "Washington Post" believes that the focus of this film is the relationship between Scott and Mike, and the particularity of the identity of the male prostitute is second-"Such feelings are undoubtedly the most touching, whether the protagonist is a male prostitute, or another profession."

The famous film critic Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" gave the film a two-and-a-half-star rating. Simple, he thinks that Gus Van Sant's exploration of the subject matter is too young, but the performance of the actors makes up for the film's shortcomings-"Young actors play the young and ignorant characters vividly. In the current In Hollywood, there are very few young actors with this ability, and the older actors have lost their youthfulness, become glib, or pretend to be deep, and they are also not suitable for this type of film."

At this time, "Uninhibited Sky" has not yet been released in North America, but the good reviews in Venice and Toronto and the praise or criticism of film critics have made the film popular in China.

Although the family property dispute of the Ross family is still going on, except for the unpopular supermarket tabloids, few media have criticized the content and quality of the film. After all, the professionalism and authority of the Venice Film Festival lies there. There is no doubt.

After the Toronto Film Festival ended, Josh rested at home for a few days, and then traveled to New York with the crew of "Unruly Sky" to participate in the screening of the New York Film Festival.

Both New York and Los Angeles have a great reputation in the Hollywood film circle. Major directors such as Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen have a strong New York complex. Los Angeles is the headquarters of Hollywood, and its status in Hollywood is self-evident. .Every year, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and the New York Film Critics Association Awards serve as outposts of the Oscars, attracting huge attention in the United States. Although the New York Film Festival is not as well-known as these two, it is also the most influential international film in the United States. One of the festivals, alongside the Sundance Film Festival and South by Southwest.

The New York Film Festival has a total of 15 days of screenings. After experiencing Venice and Toronto, everyone in the crew is very relaxed, because they no longer need to worry about whether the film will be released. The touts also promoted the film from the side, the cost has been recovered, and the trophies that should be received have also been received. The film has achieved a double harvest in art and business, and there is nothing to be nervous about.

After returning to China, Josh realized that he had become the youngest actor at the Venice Film Festival after the media's publicity and advocacy.Although he is the same age as Rui Fan, he was born dozens of days later than Rui Fan. Although the record of the youngest actor at the Venice Film Festival will be broken by Chinese actor Xia Yu who is only 17 years old in three years, the youngest is the youngest. Young, for actors, they will never give up the pursuit of the word "most".

Now that he came to New York, Josh naturally met with Colin.

"Hey, congratulations, cute little Josh, I really can't believe that a troublemaker who didn't grow up at all has become the best actor in Venice." Colin laughed happily, "It's amazing."

Josh laughed so much that his tail almost turned up: "That's because I'm super powerful, Colin, my movie premieres in October, do you want to come, I can leave you a ticket."

"Only for me? What about Dad and Mom?"

"Dad told me that he would bring a bunch of people to the cinema to support me, but I don't have that many tickets." Josh sighed, "I'm afraid his group of old guys will have a heart attack after watching it."

Colin snorted softly: "You underestimate Dad and the others. He has experienced more than you. Maybe when the movie is released, they will think that the scale is not big enough."

"..." After a while, Josh swallowed, "Colin, does mom know what you think?"

Colin frowned: "Do you want to sue?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that at all. You think too much." Josh blinked, "I just didn't expect that the serious and calm Colin was thinking about these things, it's amazing!"

After attending the New York Film Festival, the time has come to October. The premiere of "The Uninhibited Sky" was arranged in Beverly Hills, and as the leading actors, Josh and Rui Fan had to attend.

Unlike Josh, who gradually came to prominence, Rui Fan is now a hot star in Hollywood. Among all actors of the same age in Hollywood, Rui Fan has always been recognized as a capable group. Now with the affirmation of Venice, he has even won the unanimous approval of Hollywood. praise.

Of course, Rui Fan himself was happier that Josh won the award, far more than his joy of winning the award.

"How are you feeling recently, Josh?" Seeing Josh driving a new car in the parking lot, Rui Fan blinked slyly, "Big actor, how are you feeling recently?"

Josh spread his hands: "The reality is that there are still not many people who know me, but I have recently received a lot of calls from guys who claim to be agents, but unfortunately, I have no way to respond to them. "

"Come on." Rui Fan punched Josh, "I've heard a lot of compliments on you, in Hollywood, good-looking guys can always take advantage of a lot, don't be too greedy. "

"I'm very satisfied, Rui Fan. Even though I've been depressed for a while, God has favored me enough. Other people don't have such good luck as me."

"I believe that your luck will get better and better."

Hollywood is a tolerant place, it can allow actors with handsome looks to have dull acting skills, and it also has a special preference for actors with outstanding acting skills but not outstanding appearance, such as Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt and even Johnny Depp is a newcomer idol on the rise, and River Phoenix and Christian Bale have also received a lot of praise for their acting talents. With a Volpi Cup in hand, Josh will soon be able to compete with these actors. Enjoy the same treatment, his appearance is not inferior to Brad Pitt, but Pitt's embarrassing acting skills are not worth mentioning in front of Josh, and actors with excellent acting skills, they are not as eye-catching as Josh appearance.

A handsome guy represents commercial strength, and acting represents artistic strength. Among young actors, there are only a handful of actors who have both art and business. If Josh can prove his ability in business, there is no doubt that his future will be bright.

The two came to the premiere scene with their shoulders hooked.

The investment of "Unruly Sky" is only 300 million U.S. dollars, and New Line is not a big company with strong funds, so the premiere of the film is not a grand event, but despite this, with the east wind of the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival, the premiere The ceremony still attracted the participation of more than 30 media from all over the United States.

"It looks like a lot of people." Josh glanced around, "It's the first time I've been exposed to so much media."

"You will only get used to it in the future." Rui Fan patted Josh on the shoulder, "It's time to go."

Before the red carpet, Josh straightened his tie with a serious expression, and walked onto the red carpet side by side with Rui Fan.

This is the most spectacular scene he has ever experienced in his two lifetimes. Although he has also experienced the red carpets in Venice and Toronto, no matter how lively and sensational the scene is, everything does not belong to him. But at this moment, when he walked on the red carpet In an instant, there was a scream calling his name.

"Josh!"

"Oh! Josh! Here here!"

In addition to the shouts, the reporters were not stingy with their cameras. They snapped photos of Josh from all directions, as if Josh was the most watched star——

In Josh's mentality, he still regards himself as a newcomer.

Although he doesn't have the tension of a newcomer in every gesture, only the occasional greenness on his face can make people realize that this is an out-and-out newcomer.

"Los Angeles Times" reporter Warren Bob laughed: "He really doesn't look like a rookie. Excellent outfits, just the right smile, and a Venice best actor trophy, but no rookie can do that."

"New York Daily News" reporter Edward Stein nodded in agreement: "He seems to be a graduate of UC San Diego, your alumni, Warren."

"Really? I didn't know it before, but isn't he only 21 years old?"

"Warren, geniuses can't always be deduced with common sense. Have you ever seen a newcomer who won the Venice Best Actor award at the age of 21? No matter what, at least he needs to hone his skills for a few more years, right?"

For this premiere, when in New York, Colin took Josh to a luxury store on a street. Combining Colin's mature vision and Josh's understanding of the outfits of later generations of male stars, he matched a suit that is both Looks capable, but not old-fashioned men's clothing.

At present, celebrities' understanding of fashion is not as vicious as later generations, especially young male stars, they have just stepped into the film industry, and all their aesthetics are based on mature male stars in the circle, so in various award ceremonies and premieres At night, they all attended as if they were wearing daddy's shirts.

Even young actors with good faces like Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp, their appearance is often greatly compromised by unspeakable collocations.

Josh is completely different.

He has always known what is the most suitable for him. In terms of matching, he never let himself look sloppy because of loose clothes, nor did he lose his masculinity by being too tight. Judging from the frequency of reporters pressing the shutter Look, his collocation obviously didn't go wrong——

Of course, Josh didn't know that his photos at the premiere will soon be passed on to fashion people through paper media. In the best men's dress selected by a fashion magazine next month, he directly surpassed many big-name male stars. To the first position.

"The Uninhibited Sky" certainly brought Josh a huge amount of attention, but if his name is associated with Tom Cruise and Richard Gere, the effect will definitely be no less than that of a Venice trophy Influence.

Today is still 4000, what?
