[US Entertainment] 1994

The event arranged by Arnold for Josh is about children's rights. Besides Josh, there are Brad Pitt and several other young actors on the scene. The organizer intends to arouse people's awareness of children's rights through the influence of young actors. Attention, Brad Pitt has always shown a positive and optimistic image to the outside world, so he will naturally not be absent from such activities.

Josh was completely taken aback.

Backstage, Josh tidied up his hair a little, and saw Brad Pitt walking towards him.When he was young, Pete was handsome and handsome. He had the appearance of America's favorite sunny boy. Seeing Josh, Pete hid his inner unhappiness deeply, and instead stretched out his hand to Josh: "Hi, Brad Pete, nice to meet you."

Josh smiled back: "Hi, I'm Josh Walter."

Josh's appearance is completely different from Pete's. Although he is equally handsome and invincible, compared with Pete, Josh's facial features are more refined, and his skin is more delicate. The white is rosy, and even if he looks closely, it is difficult to see the large pores. Of course this is because he is relatively young.

Perhaps both of them are outstanding young actors. When Pete walked towards Josh, there were many people in the background paying attention to their movements.

But there is no doubt that when these two handsome young men stand face to face, it is enough to bring great visual enjoyment to everyone.

"I've wanted to know you for a long time." Brad Pitt lifted his chin slightly, "When I saw "The Uninhibited Sky" in the cinema, I really wanted to know the actor who interpreted it so vividly, you really It's great."

Josh smiled slightly: "My honor, I also appreciate your performance in "Thelma and Louise"."

Josh swears that his words are extremely sincere, but unfortunately, Pete doesn't seem to think so.

There is no doubt that "Thelma and Louise" is an excellent movie. Leslie Scott used a unique perspective to create a pair of women who faced despair but chose to rise. Susan Sarandon dedicated the best acting career. One of the best performances in the film, the two heroines in the film were nominated for this year's Oscar queen, and finally lost to Jodie Foster.Throughout film history, "Thelma & Louise" can be said to be one of the masterpieces expressing feminism.

Being able to star in this movie is already a good enough resource for new actors. However, Pete's performance did not satisfy the film critics, but was criticized instead.

He and Geena Davis have a sex performance in the film, and compared with Gina's old-fashioned skill, Pete's performance is as childish as a baby.Of course, he still gained some popularity through this - his handsome face has been known to more people since then, and participating in the works of major directors is also a great boost to his future career development.

Josh praised Pete sincerely, but maybe he was not confident enough in his acting skills, or maybe he was criticized too much by film critics. Pete thought that Josh was laughing at himself. After all, he also saw clearly the content of the report in the supermarket tabloid , the other party praised Josh Walter and criticized himself and Keanu Reeves, which was undoubtedly Josh's way of getting himself into the position.

His smile suddenly became a little cold.In fact, from the very beginning of his appearance, Josh has already noticed Pete's attention to him. Although the other party tried his best to hide the impatience under his pupils, it is obvious that Pete, who has been going smoothly since his debut, still doesn't know how to control his emotions perfectly. .

"...Thank you." After a while, Pete said with difficulty.

After a while, the makeup artist finished Josh's makeup, but Pete hadn't left yet.Just when Josh was about to get up and change his clothes, Pete suddenly said, "Josh, did you read the article in "World News Weekly" a few days ago?"

Josh opened his eyes and frowned slightly: "Is it the report that praised me desperately and ruined everyone else?"

Pete nodded: "Yeah."

"I never believed those messy reports." Josh looked at Pete with puzzled eyes, "Don't you believe it?"

"Of course not, I was just wondering who would be so boring to write that kind of thing, there is no doubt that you are great, but I'm not that bad!" Pete shrugged, "Probably some unknown actors A way to hype himself, he wants to use it to crush us all, what do you think?"

Josh smiled slightly: "That's right, I don't know who did it, but fortunately, Brad Pitt, the girl's idol, was able to recognize me, which means I'm still very well-known."

"... That's right." Pete's smile became colder, "Johnny's agency and I are looking for the source of the news. For us young actors, too vicious criticism is undoubtedly trying to destroy our career. My agency We will not allow such things to continue, and those who do bad things must be punished."

Pete and Josh sat very close, and he almost said these words in Josh's ear. Josh maintained a smiling demeanor from the beginning to the end. No matter how vicious Pete's curse was, he seemed to ignore it. The voice responded: "Yes, yes!"

After the event, Arnold Keynes came to pick up Josh, and Josh passed on what Pete had said to the other party, and the manager let out a soft snort: "Josh, this is a blatant threat, why don't you Do you seem to care?"

"What do I care about?" He shook his head casually. "Who is Brad Pitt and how old is he?"

"The most important thing is, dear agent, Pete said that his agency will take action. This has nothing to do with actors at all, but it's time to show your ability." Josh raised his lips, " Although I can't make more money for you for the time being, you must solve the trouble for me."

"Tsk tsk tsk look at this tyrant's posture." Arnold Keynes glanced at Josh from top to bottom. Josh hugged his shoulders and looked at him tremblingly: "Sorry, I have no interest in you, don't use that Kee looked at me."

"Go away, you kid who will always make trouble!" Arnold Keynes was almost laughed at by him, "Leave the matter to me, you don't have to worry."

"Thank you, Arnold, for helping people in distress!" Josh waved his hand without sincerity, and turned to get out of the car.

Arnold Keynes moved faster than he had imagined. The next day, several well-known supermarket tabloids, including "Weekly World News" and "National Enquirer", published reports about the young actor. Insisting that Josh is the best of this group of young actors, the National Enquirer is a staunch fan of Brad Pitt. actor.

The "National Enquirer" did not forget to praise Pitt's acting skills. It believes that Pitt's acting skills have always been a part that cannot be ignored in the movies he starred in.

When it came to "Global", it believed that Johnny Depp was the most representative of young actors, and another supermarket tabloid with high sales praised River Phoenix's acting skills. At the same time, Keanu Reeves did not neglected...

Josh didn't know if it was Arnold who did it. In short, when the media was arguing about who was better, Josh hid under the covers and laughed secretly for a long time.

This trick is indeed a bit of a loss.

Now the whole of the United States is guessing what happened to these young actors, and they can't wait to promote themselves.Even "World News Weekly" didn't expect that a report he accidentally wrote had such a profound impact. In short, Josh, who was originally suspected of colluding with "World News Weekly", was ignored. The attention given to him alone was now shared among five or six people, and Josh immediately felt no pressure.

Arnold Keynes said to Josh: "This is the price of not being able to withstand criticism. They can completely ignore that report. It is okay to be criticized by the media occasionally, but since they are determined not to criticize, then we will find a way Give them some credit."

Josh yawned: "Sometimes praise hurts more than criticism."

Arnold Keynes: "Why do you always look like you're asleep whenever I talk to you?"

Josh pinched his mouth: "Because I'm sleepy?"

"Oh, I can't stand you, young man, you should do something meaningful."

Josh yawned again, deeper and louder than before: "For example?"

"Do what an actor should do." Mr. Manager smiled cunningly, pointing to a large pile of file boxes held up in his hand, "For example, a suitable script, I specially picked it for you, enough for you to not feel uncomfortable for a whole month. emptiness."

Josh rolled his eyes hard at him.

He feels that the current state is the best, with regular rest at home every day, no pressure from filming, and no need to attend a lot of meaningless activities-compared to other agents, Arnold Keynes is already considered to be Josh It is kind, but most of the time Josh still needs to participate in some activities to maintain his attention, but Josh feels that relaxation is equally important. With enough rest time, he can devote himself to the shooting of each movie without distraction.

Of course, Josh is still more willing to read the script at home than to attend the event.

Not long after, Rui Fan called in: "Josh, did your manager do it?"

Josh sighed: "I guess so, but he didn't admit it to me."

"I was only criticized at first, but now I am completely involved in this muddy water. I am really unlucky."

"It's better for everyone to be unlucky together than to be unlucky alone." Josh spread his hands, "Arnold didn't intend to do that."

"So I have to thank you?" Rui Fan said helplessly, "But you're not wrong, it's better to be unlucky together than alone, although I'm speechless to you."

"I knew you understood me best, dear Rui Fan." Josh said, "I'm just annoyed at Pete's domineering look, and he's threatening me?"
