[US Entertainment] 1994

After the performance, Josh walked backstage, passing through crowd after crowd, and patted Rui Fan on the back with precision: "How about going for a drink later?"

It is said that it is the backstage, but it is actually just a simple shed built with a few pieces of plastic sheeting. All the performers gathered together tonight, changing clothes, drinking, talking and laughing loudly. It rained not long ago in Los Angeles, and the weather is a bit muggy Well, the smell in the shed is really not pleasant, mixed with the smell of sweat and feet, it almost made Josh faint for a moment.

With Rui Fan's current status as a Hollywood star, he has absolutely no need to stay in such an environment, but Rui Fan not only did so, but judging from his expression, he was even very happy, his brows and eyes softened unbelievably, and his eyes seemed to be Glittering, even the action of wiping the guitar has endless tenderness.

However, Rui Fan has always been simple, whether as a Hollywood star or as a friend, he is still driving the car during the filming of "Unruly Sky". Compared with Rui Fan, Josh is another extreme, It's not about how extravagant his life is, but Josh seems to be born with a physique that can't save money. Fortunately, now with the help of Colin, Josh can watch his savings figure secretly, but it's in his hands Most of his money will be spent by him, no matter what time, he lives a life of worrying about money.

Rui Fan refused Josh without thinking: "Josh, I don't want to drink with drunks at all."

Hearing Rui Fan call out Josh's name, his sister Ryan Phoenix stared at Josh curiously: "So you are Josh Walter, my brother told me about you many times! "

Ryan Phoenix glanced at Josh's non-mainstream look several times: "It turns out that my brother's friend is this type!"

River Phoenix rubbed his sore forehead: "Okay, Ryan, I'll send you home later, Josh, you come with me too."

After sending Ryan Phoenix home, Rui Fan looked at Josh helplessly: "Okay, now the whole family will know that there is something wrong with my taste in making friends."

Josh was naturally very upset about what Rui Fan said, and he threw a huge white eyeball at the other party: "Believe me, Rui Fan, maybe your family will feel very happy because of this, after all, you, who are so old-fashioned, can actually be handed over to me." It is an honor for you to have such a lively and funny friend."

"Yes, that's right." Rui Fan thumped Josh's shoulder vigorously: "I haven't settled with you for the fact that you almost scared me just now, and I almost lost face!"

Had the media picked up on his fall on stage, they would have gone out of their way to laugh at him.

Blame Josh Walter, the nasty guy!

With new hatred and old hatred added, Rui Fan decided to teach Josh a lesson he will never forget - eat the other side poorly.

Neither Josh nor Rui Fan drank any alcohol, because each other's drinking capacity was average. After having a full meal at one of the most expensive restaurants in the city center, Rui Fan saw a beggar on the road, so he picked up his guitar and walked on the side of the street. After the song was sung, Josh listened patiently, acting as Rui Fan's most loyal audience. It was very late at night before the two packed up their things and prepared to go home.

Josh thought it was an ordinary night, but when Christian Bale came to see him with a thick stack of newspapers early the next morning, Josh knew that his thoughts were completely wrong.

The National Enquirer had him on his radar.

This nationally famous supermarket tabloid with millions of sales is notorious in the hearts of entertainment circles, and it is not considered a serious newspaper in the eyes of ordinary people. It is simply good at falsification, fanning the flames, and spying on privacy. Unique skills.But for readers who lack entertainment in daily life, the privacy and scandals of celebrities can give them a glimpse into the mysterious and grotesque world of Hollywood. The scandal of a big star is simply the best condiment!

Therefore, even though all Hollywood hates the "National Enquirer", this newspaper regards the life of big stars as a nutrient for its own development and thrives. Compared with serious publications such as The Times and The Washington Post, its sales volume has always been at the forefront in North America, and the sales data is shocking.

On this day, gossip housewives buy a copy of the National Enquirer with their change after shopping in the supermarket, and they will find an actor named Josh Walter on the second page of the newspaper. The news, although it wasn't on the first page, but the "National Enquirer" reserved most of the second page for Josh—as well as Josh's charming eyeliner, fat ripped jeans, and exaggerated styling.

The headline of this report in the National Enquirer is "Venice Best Actor Leading Fashion".In the report, the newspaper did not forget to enumerate Josh’s many successes in the best-dressed men’s list in the past. In those photos, Josh either has a straight shirt and a tall figure, or uses body language to describe the charm of men , but none of them had blurry faces, exaggerated hairstyles, and postures that looked particularly unorthodox, like the one that was photographed last night.

The moment Josh saw the photo, he sighed silently. He didn't think his shape was bad. On the contrary, out of confidence in his face and figure, Josh felt that he looked good in whatever he wore. He just sighed with emotion. The reporters of the "National Enquirer" have sharper noses than dogs. He thinks his outfit is perfect enough. How on earth did those reporters get his picture?

It's really depressing to think about.

Skipping the big picture on the newspaper page, Josh picked up the newspaper and read it patiently.

This report first introduced the background of the performance in the Eastern District, and then explained that Josh came to support Rui Fan's performance:

"It's really hard to imagine that this 'fan' turned out to be Josh Walter, the youngest film star in Venice. Although it was never a secret that he and River Phoenix were good friends, he supported River Phoenix so crazily. This fact is really shocking. The author can swear that in the performance scene, Josh Walter called River Phoenix's name dozens of times, and used the words "love you" and "like you" many times to express love This makes people have to wonder, is it possible that Josh Walter took the opportunity of this performance to publicly confess his love to River Phoenix? Will there be another outstanding gay couple in Hollywood? Thinking that Josh Walter is currently It is because of the "Unruly Sky" that he co-starred with River Phoenix that he became famous. Maybe he had already had a deep-rooted love for River Phoenix at that time, but he just took this opportunity to publicly confess his love .”

Josh: "..."

He didn't know what to say, he just wanted to find a place to vomit blood well.

The report continued: "However, judging from Josh Walter's exaggerated appearance, maybe there is a wild beast living in his heart, but his status as a Hollywood star reminds him to maintain a good image in front of the public, which proves that Joe Sh Walter is also a hypocrite in his heart. Although he is more low-key than young actors with high exposure such as Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, there is obviously a reason for this. The author guesses that on the one hand he is In order to hide his homosexuality, on the other hand he is trying to cover up his wild personality, trying to gain an advantage in the Hollywood arena through hypocrisy."

"The most important thing is that from this performance, the author also discovered a secret." The wording of the report became more and more firm as it went to the back, "There is no doubt that Josh Walter's scheming is extremely deep, and Rui Fan Although Phoenix is ​​his public friend, he is also a competitor on the actor's path. He obviously wants to use this opportunity to drag River Phoenix into the water, or destroy the relationship between River Phoenix and his girlfriend, so that he can easily eliminate River Phoenix, the fateful opponent, kills two birds with one stone."

Josh: "...convex"

He unconditionally believes that the person who wrote this article must be a real genius.

With keen perception, rich imagination and terrifying creativity, although this report is not long, it accurately depicts an ups and downs of the eight o'clock drama. This person is a newspaper reporter. Waste, he should go to the Women's Emotional Channel as a director, and countless women who love gossip will be deeply fascinated by him.

After unilaterally praising the author of this report, before Josh had time to imagine the impact this report might have on him, a phone call from Mr. Agent suddenly came: "Josh Walter..."

"Well, I'm here." Josh cheered up.

"Don't tell me you didn't see that report." Arnold Keynes sighed softly, "When I went to the company this morning, everyone looked at me strangely. They must think I am very pitiful. There is such a weird celebrity under his command."

"What's so strange?" Josh was still stubborn, "It's obviously not ugly at all."

"It's not a matter of being ugly or not." Arnold was even more discouraged, "Generally speaking, the first issue of the "National Enquirer" sells more than 100 million copies. After this issue is sold this morning, there will be more than 100 copies across the United States Thousands of people think you're a transvestite gay."

Josh sighed: “Then what should I do?”

"Of course it's to protest the "National Enquirer"'s slander against you. Josh, don't forget that you just got the role of Spielberg. If the Jewish group behind him is dissatisfied with you, you will be very embarrassed."

Josh finally calmed down: "So, dear Mr. Agent, what advice can you give me?"

"My opinion is the same as yours. Weird looks are nothing. Even celebrities have private lives. Generous audiences will understand this." Arnold Keynes narrowed his eyes slightly, "But homosexuality is definitely something that you don't want now." The area that should be touched, you know what I mean, Josh?"

The author has something to say: update, still a short man, too sleepy to write any more.

Save 6000 for tomorrow, okay?
