[US Entertainment] 1994

Josh and Rui Fan looked at each other, with cunning emotions floating in their eyes, and they praised Del Fervo calmly. The complacent look became clearer and clearer. Finally, after more than ten minutes, Mr. Del Fervo reluctantly walked out of his fabricated photography world. Of course, he did not forget to praise Josh and Rui Fan's art Taste, praised them as "the rare young people in Hollywood".

Josh squeezed his throat: "I'm so tired."

"Me too." Rui Fan stroked his chin, "But I suddenly understood a truth, do you want to hear it?"

Josh then leaned his ear to him.

"You know, in terms of tact and sophistication, we can't compare with the veterans who have been in this circle for decades, and we will look very dull, but this is undoubtedly an advantage." A smile appeared on Rui Fan's face, "In the eyes of other people, young guys like us must be impatient to listen to their truths, but if we listen carefully and praise a few words from time to time, this will show our sincerity even more."

"You mean... oh, Rui Fan, you've turned bad."

Rui Fan patted Josh on the shoulder: "This is called playing by ear, dear Josh, after you attend this kind of reception a few more times, you will master all the knowledge in this industry, whether it is directing, producing, filming, Creation or something else... you have no choice but to get used to it, you just try to be a little more authentic so you can develop it easier."

Taking advantage of no one around, Josh took Rui Fan to the corner and ate a few pieces of snacks alone.To be honest, although he was mentally prepared for the nature of this reception, Josh felt a lot of pressure when he thought that he might face characters like Del Fervo next.

His stomach was full, Rui Fan suddenly asked him: "What audition did you attend this morning?"

Josh raised his eyebrows: "Guess?"

"I don't want to guess, I want you to tell me directly."

"Well, I can only say that it is a very good movie, and you will know everything after it is released." Josh blinked, "Temporary secret."

As soon as Josh finished speaking, a head came up on his shoulder: "If you don't say it, you don't say it, and you deliberately make it so mysterious, you mean Josh."

"Oh, so our two Venice film stars are here."

Josh and Rui Fan turned around, and a tall and strong middle-aged man holding a wine glass appeared behind him at some point. With a warm smile on his face, he took a step forward and clinked glasses with them respectively: "I just finished watching the movie "Uninhibited Sky" in the cinema some time ago, and the performances of both of them are very wonderful."

Seeing the doubts still on the faces of the two, the middle-aged man suddenly reacted: "Sorry, let me introduce myself first. I am Walter McKenne, the producer of Miramax Films. We are currently working on To make a movie requires the participation of two young actors with outstanding acting skills, are you interested in reading the script?"

Josh was the first to respond: "Of course I am very interested. The films released by Miramax Films have always been excellent. Not long ago at the Venice Film Festival, I happened to enjoy the film "Mongol Spirit". With "Cinema Paradise," "Sex, Lies, Videotape," and "My Left Foot," released the year before, I'm curious as to how Miramax manages to dig out the truly great ones from so many films produced in one year of."

"If you want to invite us to shoot a movie, you can contact my agent first, and I will give you his contact information after the reception."

"Okay, but Mr. Walter, I suggest you read the script first, because it is often difficult for a non-professional agent to distinguish a good script from a bad one, but actors can understand the true meaning of the script..."

"Thank you, Mr. McCann. I will think carefully about your suggestion."

After Walter Macken left, Rui Fan frowned and looked at his back: "Don't we look like fools?"

Josh glanced at him: "You don't look like me, but I do. He probably thinks that I've only been in Hollywood for a year, and I've just won the Best Actor Award in Venice, so I'm easy to be deceived because I'm a child actor, so you're not so easy to be deceived .”

Rui Fan chuckled, "If he really contacted your manager, that picture must be very funny."

"I can invite my agent to perform a tear-off producer face to face. Are you interested in watching, dear Mr. River Phoenix?"

Rui Fan swallowed his saliva: "Let's forget it, I don't want to be affected."

After 9 o'clock in the evening, the number of people attending the reception reached its peak, and Josh and Rui Fan had to temporarily separate to deal with more and more guests alone.

Although there was only a little red wine in the glass, if he drank several glasses in a row, Josh would feel his face was scorching hot, and the heat would be difficult to dissipate for a while, and his head began to become dizzy.

He patted his chest lightly, made up a reason to hide in the bathroom.

After more than ten minutes, Josh patted his face with cold water and felt that the heat on his face dissipated a little, so he opened the bathroom door and was ready to go out.

"Bang——" the door opened, Josh's pace was a little faster, and his chest bumped into another figure. The other figure's chest was a little hard, and the impact of the hit made Josh couldn't help touching his hair , his head was already a little dizzy, but after being hit like this again, he felt that he could lie on the hospital bed directly in the next second.

"What are you doing?" The heat on his face was getting hotter and hotter, Josh shook his head slightly to keep himself awake, but no matter how hard he tried, his eyelids drooped as if they could never be opened again.

"Are you okay?" The other party came over to grab Josh's hand.

Josh squinted his eyes and stared at the other party carefully. After a while, he tied his tongue and asked incoherently: "Carlos Ross?"

The corner of the other party's mouth curled up slightly: "It's me, can you still hold it?"

Josh rubbed his chest: "Are you the heir of the Tony Stark family? Or have you practiced the unique skill of crushing boulders on your chest?"

Carlos Ross said with a smile: "I'm not the heir of the Stark family, but I don't mind being the heir of the Walter family. Then, breaking the big stone on the chest is probably Bruce Lee's unique skill..."

"Oh." Josh half-closed his eyes, and the drowsy feeling became more and more intense. After a long time, he opened his eyes and stared at Carlos Ross with piercing eyes: "The heir of the Walter family... I Suggest you fight Colin first, if you win, you are not heir to the Walter family, because you have to fight Gavin... then fight me, and finally fight Serena , you must not be able to beat Serena, she can beat you with math, math..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Carlos Ross's mouth, well, this guy didn't look drunk at all on the surface, but he revealed his secret after only two words.

What a little drunk!

Carlos Ross put his fingers on Josh's face, and the heat was really high. He stood there thinking for a while, put his arm around Josh's hand, and led him out of the reception.

Before leaving, Carlos Ross called Gus Van Sant and looked at the time again. It was almost midnight, and the reception should be almost over.

Dragging a reluctant drunk into the car, a smile appeared on Carlos Ross's usually cold face.

The car finally stopped in front of a luxury apartment in downtown Los Angeles. Carlos Ross glanced at Josh, who was sleeping soundly, silently stretched out a finger, and pushed him: "Wake up..."

"Colin let me sleep a little longer, I don't have class today..." Josh muttered, and continued to sleep on his side.

Carlos Ross couldn't help pinching his face: "It's time, I'm late for the audition!"

The next second, someone who was still soundly asleep suddenly stared at him with a pair of bright eyes: "The audition has started?"

Carlos Ross nodded solemnly: "Yes."

"Okay, let's go, we must not be late."

Although the shoulders were completely hung down and the head kept pointing downward, Josh finally followed Carlos Ross and completed a not-so-short distance.

After walking into the room, Carlos Ross was still thinking hard about how to explain to Josh that there was no so-called audition, but probably the memory of a drunk was similar to that of a goldfish, so he put him on the sofa, and the other was already hugging the sofa cushions He slept soundly, and occasionally uttered a sentence or two of ravings from his mouth, but he returned to silence after a while.

After Carlos Ross took a shower, Josh still maintained his original position and slept soundly, which made the smile on the corner of Carlos's mouth deepen. Although this guy gets drunk when he drinks, the wine is very good, so be quiet when he is drunk Stay on the sidelines, not making a fuss at all.

--------

At the reception, River Phoenix searched for a long time but couldn't find Josh. He even ran to the bathroom, but still couldn't find him, and the phone couldn't get through. He couldn't help but look at Gus Van Sant : "Where's Josh?"

Gus Van Sant was also a little too drunk, he frowned and thought for a moment: "He was taken away by Carlos, and Carlos said to take him back to rest."

"Carlos...Carlos Ross?"

Rui Fan's brow furrowed deeper: "Is Josh familiar with Carlos Ross?"

Gus Van Sant spread his hands: "I think so, Josh was drunk, and Carlos offered to take him away."

"Gus, maybe they're not as familiar as you think." Rui Fan sighed, "I made an appointment with Josh, next time if he gets drunk, I can take him home first, You don't need anyone else, okay?"

"Hmm..." Josh slowly opened his eyes. The room was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly. Only the strange air made him realize that this was not his own room.

He remembered that yesterday he went to the bathroom after drinking, and then met...

Who did you meet?

After thinking for a few seconds, Josh felt a pain in his head. When he tried to reach out from under the quilt to rub his head, his hand suddenly hung in the air, and Josh realized a problem——

How did he—no!wear!Clothes!Clothes!

God, Mother Mary, Zeus, Jupiter, Sakyamuni, Muhammad, who exactly did he meet last night?

After thinking about the horror room, the imprisoned man, and so on, Josh miraculously found that his hands and feet were not tied, and most importantly, he was still wearing underwear.

After thinking for a while, Josh decided to get up and turn on the light.

Just as the quilt was lifted, Josh's leg suddenly kicked something, smooth and delicate to the touch, with a little heat from the skin... Half a second later, he realized that there was someone sleeping beside him, and Josh made a decisive decision and kicked more vigorously. Kicked off the quilt on the other side, and touched the man with his fingers for a long time. After a while, the corner of Josh's mouth couldn't help twitching. The man's chest was flat, and his gender should be male... But why didn't he wear it? clothing?

two men!

Hiding naked under the quilt!

Josh had touched enough, and was about to get up and turn on the light, but a light laughter suddenly came from his ear: "Are you awake?"

Josh frowned and stared at the darkness where the other party was located for a while, before asking tentatively after a long time: "Carlos Ross?"

The other party's laughter became clearer: "I thought you wouldn't be able to hear my voice?"

After confirming that the other party was Carlos Ross, Josh finally relaxed.He put his arm behind his head and sighed: "Whoever wakes up and finds himself in a strange dark environment will feel scared. I am very worried that I will become the leading actor in a horror movie."

Carlos Roth laughed: "No producer would be willing to let such a handsome face play a horror movie."

Josh turned his head. Although he couldn't see Carlos Ross's face, he always felt that the other party's breathing was beside him. In this dark environment, there were only each other's voices in his ears. Inexplicably, he felt that Carlos and himself The distance between Rose is much closer.

"You brought me back yesterday?"

Carlos Ross said "um", then said: "I opened the bathroom door, you hit me, I was going to ask if you were hurt, you hugged my leg and cried and said you love me, please I don't want to break up with you..."

"Pa..." A pillow fell lightly on Carlos Ross's back, "I haven't even been in a relationship, how could I cry and beg for a breakup?"

At most, he just begged his lovely sister Serena not to abuse him with too advanced math problems.

Carlos Ross sighed lightly: "It's a pity that I didn't lie to you. But Josh, you have to be responsible to me..."

"what?"

"It's morning now, and I felt a pair of hands touch my body while I was still asleep, waking up my cute little brother. Don't you know that men in the morning are the least exciting?"

"so what?"

As soon as Josh finished speaking, he felt a breath on his neck. It was very slight, as if someone was gently scratching his itch, but it made his whole heart agitated.

There was a little lightness in Carlos Ross' voice: "So, should you make it up to me?"

He understood the other party's subtext almost immediately, and Josh's will completely collapsed within a second. He stretched out his hand, gently stroked the other party's chest, and then leaned forward without hesitation.

Have a nice day.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Josh returned to his apartment from Carlos Ross's house. On the way, he received a call from Rui Fan. The moment the phone was turned on, Josh didn't know what he missed these few days. How many phone calls were made, Rui Fan's, Colin's, including his agent Arnold Keynes's, and it took Josh more than an hour to answer the calls one by one, and his voice was a little hoarse after he finished speaking.

He threw the phone on the bed, ran downstairs and did some exercise, only to feel that his energy had recovered a little.

Lying in bed for two days in a row is also exhausting.

In early December, Josh received a call from Arnold Keynes: "You have been hired, Josh, and you will be in Scent of a Woman!"

"It's lucky I didn't embarrass you."

Arnold Keynes laughed: "I've always had faith in you, okay?"

A few days later, Josh signed his name on the contract with the crew of "Scent of a Woman", and the crew provided him with a salary of 15 US dollars, but after Arnold Keynes argued, this figure was rejected. It rose to 20.

Josh smiled and said, "20 is so much? Great, I finally don't have to worry about living expenses for next year."

Arnold Keynes rubbed his forehead: "Josh, believe me, you will definitely continue to be poor. I have never seen a young man who can't plan himself like you. You don't smoke marijuana, don't drink too much, and don't love Buying a sports car to show off your wealth, where did your money go?"

Josh pinched the back of his head: "I can't even answer this question for you, but thank you, dear Arnold, you made me $5 with just one mouth, if I didn't have an agent, I must be ashamed to bargain."

Arnold Keynes nodded his hair: "That's because your salary is linked to my income, I don't care if you starve yourself to death, I have to make sure I don't starve to death, by the way, Josh , Remember to return the money for the men's suit last time."

"Oh." Josh pursed his lips, "Then I decide to take back the saying that you are the cutest manager."

Arnold Keynes made a gesture to leave: "Then I'll go talk to the crew's accountant and return your $5."

Josh: "..."

"Is your income not suitable for my paycheck?"

Arnold Keynes shrugged: "That's right, but you will lose 5 U.S. dollars, and I will only lose a few thousand dollars. In this way, it is still not worthwhile for you."

The agent grinned: "Simple Josh Walter, you have to realize that your agent is very good at doing things that hurt others and benefit yourself."

"Oh." Josh rolled his eyes silently, "You really are the cutest, most handsome, greatest, most handsome and best manager!"

"Repeat."

"Cute, handsome, great and handsome Mr. Arnold Keynes~"

"Josh, do you think I didn't see you rolling your eyes? Forget it, I'd better find the crew."

"Ya Butterfly!"

"Josh, what nonsense are you watching again?"

"Arnold, you know the meaning of this Japanese word, it means you are not pure, don't pretend to be a buddy, everyone is a man..."

"Go, go, go!"

For the first time, Arnold Keynes discovered what a headache it was to be Josh Walter's agent.

After signing the contract, Josh had to join the filming team.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Fortunately, the crew had already made preparations before filming, so Josh didn't have to worry about catching the cold.

On the first day of entering the group, in addition to Al Pacino, the actor he met during the audition session, Josh also had a preliminary meeting with other actors.

There are no shortage of big names in this movie.

Future Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman played a modest role in it.

Because of his lack of outstanding appearance, Philip Seymour Hoffman had been playing soy sauce roles in various movies before he won the Oscar winner. This situation improved after he won the winner, but compared to other fame and fortune The best actor of all time, Philip Seymour Hoffman can at most play the second male lead or the main villain in some big-budget films, but there are still very few opportunities to play the leading role.

Oscar winners who are in a similar situation to him include Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker and others.

The heroine of the film "Scent of a Woman" is the new generation actress Gabriel Anwar, who is the same age as Josh. In the original work, the tango she danced with Al Pacino became the whole story. As the highlight of this film, Anwar's career also rose rapidly and became a popular female star.

"Nice to meet you, Josh." Martin Brest reached out to shake hands with Josh, "In the next few months, I hope we can work together happily."

"Happy cooperation." Josh smiled, "I believe we will all be very happy."
