[US Entertainment] 1994

Chapter 074 Awards Season

The next morning, Adam Davis, the editor-in-chief of the National Enquirer, took his own elevator upstairs as usual, only to find that his subordinates and the reporters of The Star, which belonged to the same publishing company, looked at him with the same eyes. Strangely, when he looked over, those weird and curious looking eyes disappeared in unison, which made Mr. Editor-in-Chief feel even more strange.

Could it be that the tie his wife gave him this morning was the wrong color?

After rushing to the office, Adam Davis hurriedly opened the drawer, where a small mirror was hidden for the editor-in-chief to check his hairstyle and clothes.

In fact, although the "National Enquirer" does not have enough credibility in the media circle, as a newspaper with a huge circulation, its editor-in-chief also has good prestige.Adam Davis is 41 years old this year. Being able to take the position of editor-in-chief at such an age has always allowed him to call himself an elite in the media circle, especially the "National Enquirer". It still allowed the newspaper to accumulate a lot of fans. When a star was involved in a scandal, the star would ask the newspaper for mercy. Therefore, Adam Davis also has a certain reputation in Hollywood stars and media circles.

How should I put it, although celebrities hate the style of the "National Enquirer", they dare not completely offend this newspaper. If they are targeted by Adam Davis and his dog legs, it is conceivable that they will In what dire straits.

One minute later, as usual, the assistant brought steaming coffee to Adam Davis. On his right hand, the most influential newspapers in the United States were neatly arranged in alphabetical order. Adam Davis smelled The aroma of coffee woke me up, and I opened the newspaper of the day.

Adam Davis roughly glanced at the financial and current affairs section. He will care about national affairs, but unlike other newspapers, Adam Davis pays more attention to the entertainment in current affairs news, such as the extramarital affair between the president and the female secretary. Or members of Congress fighting in debates or something like that.

After browsing the political news, Adam Davis turned to the entertainment section.

He holds a coffee cup in his left hand, with a smile on his lips. This is the usual expression of Adam Davis when he browses the news. The corners of the editor's lips curled up as the newspaper praised a star more than Adam Davies would approve of, silently laughing at the stupid newspaper.

No one knows stars better than the "National Enquirer". Thanks to the hard work of its reporters, this newspaper has almost mastered the scandals of most of Hollywood's stars, even those who perform low-key and unknown.

Adam Davis has always believed in the saying that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. No one can guarantee that an unknown star will not be popular in Hollywood in the future and grasp everyone's black material. The National Enquirer reported in the new Be prepared when the news comes, ahead of all other media.

When he turned to a certain newspaper, the smile on the corner of Adam Davis's mouth suddenly froze.

This is a report from "World News Weekly", the title is "Josh Walter Confesses to Adam Davis: We Are a Family". When Adam Davis saw this report, the first thing in his mind was One idea is that "World News Weekly" is fabricating. After all, as a colleague, "World News Weekly" is a newspaper that is more absurd and unscrupulous than its own "National Enquirer"!

At least Adam Davis thinks so.

After all, the "National Enquirer" is good at making up, but most of the time, their reports are a combination of a small part of the truth and a large part of the making up, but what about the "Weekly World News", if one day a news story about someone If a woman gave birth to an alien child, don't think about it, it must be the "World News Weekly".

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Adam Davis patiently read the report from beginning to end.

Soon, the editor-in-chief's expression became even weirder.

What the World News Weekly reported turned out to be true.

While this has nothing to do with the confession in the slightest, there is no doubt that Josh Walter is provoking him and his Enquirer, and Adam Davis is well aware that the source of all this is Red Bryan's that report.

In the report, Red Bryan described Josh Walter's behavior of yelling "I love you" to River Phoenix, and based on this, he believed that Josh Walter had same-sex love for River Phoenix.

So... Josh Walter can also yell "I love you" to himself, so that he is also gay?

Thinking of this, Adam Davis couldn't help but have a headache.

Josh Walter has been the most watched young man in Hollywood during this period, on the one hand because he has become the protagonist of Steven Spielberg's new film, and on the other hand because he has sparked the whole Hollywood on the topic of homosexuality discussion.

And thanks to that report, the newspaper's sales have also increased slightly during this period, but damn, Adam Davis is really worried that Josh Walter will come downstairs to him one day and yell "I love you" You, not only will he lose face, but the National Enquirer will also become a laughing stock in the entire media circle, and the group will re-evaluate his ability because of this matter. Adam Davis is not willing to see this things happen.

Adam Davis sure damn Josh Walter would do it.

why?

Because there is no young man who has debuted for less than two years and dares to challenge the "National Enquirer", except damn Josh Walter!

Adam Davis quickly flipped through today's newspapers, and as expected, almost all newspapers reported on Josh Walter's interview. Judging from their words, they seemed to be really looking forward to Josh Walter's interview. Sh Walter ran downstairs to the newspaper office so they could watch the show!

This group of guys who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement!

Adam Davis squinted his eyes, silently thinking about how to deal with this matter.

………………

On the other side, Josh, who was hated by Adam Davis, drooped his head, silently accepting Arnold's reprimand.

"Actively provoke the National Enquirer? God, Josh, are you really stupid or fake, I swear I will never find a more stupid guy than you, you know the results of offending the National Enquirer ?"

Arnold Keynes rubbed Josh's head so hard that Josh suspected that the other party wanted to pry open his head to see if there was soda in it. Here, Josh can probably guess his own fate.

"The noses of those reporters are more sensitive than dogs. Josh, please pray for yourself, otherwise, even in your dreams, there will be a reporter chasing after you."

"It turns out that the reporter from the "National Enquirer" has signed a long-term contract with Sleeping Beauty." Josh raised his head casually, "Don't worry, Arnold, if they really plan to deal with me, I don't mind at all. The editor-in-chief shouted I love you five hundred times, with a soundtrack."

"You bad boy!" Arnold Keynes didn't know what to say. "Before you run downstairs to the National Enquirer, I'll take a kitchen knife and hack you to death."

Josh quickly took a big step back: "Arnold, why is it so bloody?"

"Anyway, Josh Walter you bastard, you're driving me nuts right now. I just want you to open up that you did take the Spielberg role, and you didn't say that shit!" Arnold Keynes sighed heavily, "I'm very upset right now, please calm down within a few minutes, otherwise I really don't mind taking out the kitchen knife."

Josh suddenly showed aggrieved eyes.

"It's no use pretending to be pitiful!" Arnold Keynes thumped on Josh's head, "I've already seen through your trouble-loving nature."

The agent is [-]% sure that there is no young actor in Hollywood who is more disobedient than Josh. Although the agent has no intention of killing Josh's nature and making Josh his own puppet, he definitely does not To think that Josh would be such a difficult guy!

It is conceivable that their future life will be rich and colorful again.

Josh blinked: "Arnold, don't worry, isn't there still you?"

"You have always been my strongest backing, especially when you are in trouble, your outstanding ability will be brought into full play." Josh giggled, "I swear, there is no one in Hollywood who is better than you." An even better manager, even Rui Fan and Chris envy me for having such an excellent manager like you..."

"To shut up!"

Josh responded reluctantly: "Oh."

Arnold Keynes rubbed his aching head: "Now, immediately, get out of the room, I don't want to see your face within an hour."

"Oh."

Josh ran away aggrieved.

Arnold Keynes looked at his back, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Josh Walter, this brat, although he looks terribly aggrieved and obedient on the surface, but looking at the three-foot-high back and twisted waist, no one can tell that this guy is actually very happy in his heart!

Can't even pretend!Mr. Broker is also really convinced.

Sure enough, Josh Walter was his worst nightmare on the planet.

………………

In the next few days, he didn't know what Arnold Keynes did. Josh guessed that the other party probably reached an agreement with the "National Enquirer", and both parties chose to deal with this matter coldly. "hadn't reported anything about Josh for a few weeks, and there were plenty of other media waiting to see a good show, but since both the protagonists had a truce, they naturally had nothing to watch.Over time, the matter of Josh and Adam Davis was replaced by other news, and gradually no one cared whether Josh would tell Adam Davis that I love you.

The weather is getting cooler and awards season is in full swing again.

The production of Josh and Al's "Scent of a Woman" has long been over, and the film will be officially released in December, but before the release, the film has submitted materials to major awards, striving to compete for important awards at the end of the year.

As one of the protagonists of "Scent of a Woman", Josh's performance has been recognized by the crew, and he is naturally included in the list of actors submitted by the crew, but he is competing for the award as a supporting actor, while Al is a male Protagonist department.

Josh didn't think he would win a Golden Globe or an Oscar nomination because of this, but he felt that his performance in the movie was pretty good. At least when he was playing with Al, he didn't have the slightest bit of timidity, even because Al Inspired him to play the best performance since the movie.

Of course, as a known person of history, Josh knows that this year is destined to be Al's solo show. Even if his performance in "Scent of a Woman" has surpassed "The Uninhibited Sky", Josh only hopes that he can do it again. He has been shortlisted for a Golden Globe once, and if he is more ambitious, he hopes to be nominated for an Oscar.

Josh thought his performance deserved an Oscar nomination.

This is not blind self-confidence, but that he really has confidence in himself. Although Oscar seems so far away, as long as he works hard to perform, Oscar will be very close to him one day, and he will even be able to hold the statuette in the future. hands.

In October, several major Film Critics Association Awards have announced the nomination list. Among the nomination lists, the New York Film Critics Association prefers "The Player Behind the Scenes" starring Tim Robbins and Whoopi Goldberg and another "The Player". The Crying Game, it is worth mentioning that both of these two films contain horror elements, which dooms them to be difficult to gain favor on platforms such as the Golden Globes or Oscars, but the New York Film Critics Association has always had its own unique selection method And review taste, they do not pursue exactly the same as Oscar.

In the words of a well-known film critic of the association: "This is the taste of New York."

Most of the time, the Oscars and Golden Globes represent the taste of Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and the National Society of Film Critics Awards favored Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven". Unforgiven".

In fact, at the next year's Oscars, Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" did win the Best Picture and Best Director awards. Not very successful, but after he became a director, most of his works were favored by the Oscar judges, with numerous nominations and awards, and Clint Eastwood also became one of the top Hollywood directors.

As for the competition for actor awards, the most promising actors this year are Al and Denzel Washington, and the actress is Emma Thompson in "Howards End". The performance in "Money Worshipers" is quite good, and it is also considered to be a strong candidate for supporting actor in this year's major awards.

Because of his outstanding performance in "Scent of a Woman", Josh also won some film critics' awards.

In fact, in North America, the selection of major film critics awards is far less formal than the Golden Globes or Oscars. Some film critics awards will not even announce the nomination list, or skip the nominations and directly announce the awards, but before the final results are announced. , film critics will also reveal to the media in advance the list of actors they are more optimistic about.

When the media took inventory, they were surprised to find that Josh's name was among them.

Last year, when Josh broke the age record for the Best Actor in Venice, it had caused discussions in Hollywood, but the performance of young actors is often unstable. They can perform old-fashioned in a film, but they can also turn around and act in a film that is enough to win a gold medal. The Raspberry Awards are a rotten movie, and few young actors can perform well in the awards season for two consecutive years.

Even if Josh cannot be shortlisted for nominations, his performance has already left a deep impression on the film critics. In the eyes of professionals, Josh has become a representative of the powerful faction. For actors, professional affirmation is undoubtedly very important , under the same conditions, film companies undoubtedly prefer actors with outstanding acting skills.

Also because of this reason, Josh's appearance in "Schindler's List" has suffered a lot less doubts.

The agent, who was originally angry, also turned his face because of Josh's praise. There is no doubt that he also has expectations for Josh.
