[US Entertainment] 1994

Just as Arnold Keynes was about to knock on the door, he bumped into Christian Bale. Bell's hard muscles hit his body, and the painful feeling made the manager couldn't help but "hiss" lightly.

"ready to go out?"

Bell nodded slightly, his expression as indifferent as ever.

Arnold Keynes was used to his manner - although he had always been curious about how Josh and Bell became friends.In the eyes of Mr. Manager, Josh seems to have a weird physique. He doesn't have friends all over the world like the famous players in the circle. Even in the impression of the media, Josh himself is not a person who is good at making friends. But it was strange that Josh was able to become friends with boys like Christian Bale and River Phoenix who didn't seem easy to get along with.

Not a friend of pure interest in the Hollywood circle, but a sincere and trustworthy friend.

"Where's Josh?"

The moment he asked this question, Arnold Keynes was keenly aware of the helplessness that flashed across Bell's cold face. After a while, Bell pointed to Josh's closed door: "Sleeping."

Arnold Keynes' face turned from white to blue immediately.

Swear to God, there's no lazier guy in all of Hollywood than Josh Walter!This guy was still sleeping at ten o'clock in the morning. If he's the kind of guy who doesn't have a job at all, it's fine. Now he's a little famous star.

Couldn't be more upbeat!

Arnold Keynes simply couldn't complain.

Sure enough, when the door was pushed open, the person in the room was covered with a thin quilt, and the quilt rose and fell with the breathing. Listening carefully, there was a shallow breathing sound, obviously the owner of the room was sleeping soundly.

Even though Arnold Keynes made a slight sound, Josh turned over and continued to sleep as if he didn't hear it.The sun was just right outside, but the light in the room was a little dim. Arnold Keynes thought for a while, but finally did not wake up Josh.

It was already noon when Josh woke up. After a deep sleep, his face was covered with sweat. Josh raised his hand to wipe it off. When he opened his eyes again, Mr. Manager was sitting on the recliner opposite his bed. , Holding a book and watching it patiently.

Josh coughed lightly, only to realize that his voice was terribly hoarse, his head was a little dizzy, and his movements were dull after a long sleep.

Arnold Keynes closed the book: "Are you awake?"

Josh nodded: “When did you come?”

"Two hours ago." Arnold frowned. "What did you do last night?"

Josh stepped on the slipper with one foot, groped the ground with the other danglingly, and finally found another slipper.He got out of bed and handed the thick book on the desk to Arnold: "Read it."

No need to read, Arnold Keynes also knew that it was a book called "Schindler's Ark".

Josh's recent research on Spielberg's movie has been crazy.

From the manager's point of view, he doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Although Arnold Keynes is considered an experienced agent, he has never seen a young actor like Josh. In his agent career, Tom Cruise can be regarded as the pinnacle. The popular lover, and then successfully became one of the most well-known stars in Hollywood through commercial achievements.

Whether it's Tom Cruise or someone else, their career ambitions are limited to the goal of becoming a big star, but Josh is very different.

He never deliberately pursues something, but if it is requested by his agent, he will try his best to complete it.

Josh has always regarded himself as a dedicated actor, and almost [-]% let go of things other than acting to his agent, whether it is a good thing or a trouble.His mantra is: "If I have to worry about this kind of thing, why do I need an agent?"

Sometimes, Arnold Keynes feels that he has had a hard time, but most of the time, he is in pain and happiness. After all, compared with those agents who keep wiping the ass of their stars, Arnold has a lot of authority. And Josh never held him back.

Josh is not a very worry-free guy, but he is very simple. He believes in his ability in acting, but he is also willing to rely on the help of his agent.

Although Josh has not become a real big star until now, Arnold Keynes felt the happiness he had never had before. This feeling reminded him of the first time he stepped into the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, gearing up to make himself The star under his hand brings the feeling of being a big star to a higher level.

Very happy.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face slowly, Josh pulled his eyelids, and saw black circles under his eyes as expected.He yawned and wiped his hair slowly: "I won't stay up late anymore, it's really uncomfortable."

After that, he turned his head and glanced at Arnold again: "Why are you still here?"

Arnold Keynes rolled his eyes silently: "Please, I have been waiting for you for two hours."

"Why are you waiting for me?" Josh covered his mouth, feeling drowsy again. He sat on the bed with his face down, and his eyelids closed again effortlessly.Arnold Keynes has no doubt that if he doesn't take a little action, this guy Josh Walter will fall asleep again.

"When you go to a high society banquet, I just got an invitation letter."

Josh curled his lips: "I'm not interested, I don't want to attend high society banquets at all, and low society banquets are more suitable for me."

"..." The corners of Arnold Keynes's mouth twitched slightly, "Josh Walter, many times I wish I could be a little bit nasty to you."

"You won't have a chance, because you are too ugly, and I have no interest in you." Josh said impatiently, "How high is the upper class, the richest man in the United States? The Rothschild family? The Morgan family? Bill... Clinton? I refuse to admit it was a high society party without seeing one of them."

"..."

Arnold Keynes rubbed his forehead and pressed back the protruding veins on his forehead: "Your request is too high Josh, did you read it from the web search?"

Josh nodded: "That's right."

"Based on your current level, you still can't see characters of that level, but if you can become one of the top actors in Hollywood in the future, you will definitely be able to meet one of them."

Josh spit softly: "It wasn't Bill Clinton then..."

"What did you say?"

"Clinton's red nose is really ugly. I'm not interested in him at all." Josh curled his lips and turned over: "Tell me, who am I going to see today?"

Arnold Keynes spread his hands: "The executives of several major film companies, famous directors, such as Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese..."

Before Arnold finished speaking, Josh quickly put on his clothes: "Arnold, your wording was wrong from the beginning, there is no such thing as high society, this is just a gathering of Hollywood insiders. "

"It's not entirely wrong," Arnold explained. "There are also the wife and daughter of the mayor of Los Angeles, cultural officials and members of the council."

"In short, this is not a banquet that requires small people to play a role." Josh blinked. "It's either a charity dinner or a warm-up event for the awards season. I'm planning to meet with Mr. Spielberg to discuss the content of the script. Who will be there?"

"Many, many people. This is one of the largest dinners in the industry, even bigger than the Oscars." Arnold whispered, "I should have informed you earlier, but I'm sorry, the invitation letter just arrived this morning In my hand, I was not sure if you had the opportunity to participate."

Josh, who had regained his positive state, dug out a suit he had never worn before from the closet. It was low-key and restrained, but the shoulders and waists fit Josh's figure perfectly. The moment Josh stood in front of the mirror to admire, Arnold Keynes suddenly realized that Josh had really matured a lot compared to when the two had just signed.

It's only been a year.

The 22-year-old Josh is undoubtedly at the best age in his life. He is neither too mature nor too immature. Instead, he has a style caught between men and boys. Compared with those child stars who have been soaked in the circle early, Josh There is always an innocence in his eyebrows, coupled with his excellent appearance, he can easily become the focus of everyone's attention.

It was at this time that Arnold Keynes discovered Josh's real age. Although Josh often showed childishness, his pursuit of acting had surpassed most actors in Hollywood, even those who were young. Ji Ji is an actor who is much older than him. When he devotes himself to acting, his maturity and sophistication, and his understanding of acting can almost make people forget his age.

He is not only talented, but also hardworking.

There was a trace of approval in his eyes, but the manager never allowed Josh to notice his appreciation. With that guy's temperament, the manager was [-]% sure that he would say a bunch of fundamental things. An irrefutable fallacy.

"Although you are ugly, your aesthetic ability is not so bad."

"That's right, because a good-looking person looks good in anything."

"Is it my fault for being handsome and rich?"

After thinking about it, Mr. Manager decided to change the subject: "This suit is not bad, when did you buy it?"

Josh replied casually: "Colin gave it to me."

"Don't he think you have enough clothes?"

Josh squinted his eyes, and looked at his manager Mr. with a look of a fool: "Please, dear Arnold, I'm a star. Even if I'm not a star, I won't be like you. There are only three seasons in one season." Four sets of clothes, if you do this, others will think that I can't make any money and can't support my agent."

Arnold Keynes: "..."

What's the matter with the feeling of getting a lot of guns in the chest inexplicably?

After the "poor manager of a star who can't make money" got into the car, he looked at Josh with sad eyes all the way. It felt as if Josh had done something so sorry to him. Show him a bright smile: "Let's go."

"Where are you going? The direction of the dinner party is not here."

Josh blinked mischievously: "Buying clothes, let you feel the feeling of being taken care of by rich people."

Arnold Keynes: "...huh."

But Josh did drive the car into a relatively large local shopping mall, and when he went upstairs, he pushed Arnold to the front: "Help him try on a few suitable clothes, and start trying now."

Mr. Broker walked out of the shopping mall with a dizzy head, carrying six or seven bags with eye-catching logos in his hand. Although judging from his income, he could afford the price of several sets of clothes, but Josh was proud The moment Qian Yundi finished paying the bill, he still inevitably had the illusion of being taken care of.

... no, hallucinations.

In fact, Arnold Keynes, who used to be Tom Cruise's agent, is not short of money. He is even richer than Josh, who spends a lot of money every month. Neither Keynes received any gift from the other party.

This is Josh's mind.

Putting the gift in the trunk and getting into the car, Arnold Keynes had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Josh, I just heard you complain about the lack of money a few days ago..."

Josh raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "Colin gave me part of the dividends from the investment, and I'm rich again!"

"..." Arnold Keynes was silent for a long while, thinking about the men's clothes whose trunk could almost buy a car: "So, how much money do you have left?"

What responded to him was Josh's short silence, and a moment later, a roar sounded from the front of the steering wheel: "I promised Colin that I would save money, but before I knew it... I obviously didn't do anything, and the money was gone It's...not my fault at all."

Arnold Keynes smiled helplessly. Sure enough, Josh Walter was always Josh Walter and never changed.

The dinner was held at the Hilton Hotel, the one favored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. When he walked into the banquet and saw the number of stars, Josh almost suspected that he had come to the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, but compared For the Golden Globe Awards, the infield of the dinner was more elegantly arranged, with more celebrities and celebrities participating, and there was no host to create an atmosphere on stage.

Josh saw many acquaintances on the scene.

Al Pacino, River Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp...and Carlos Ross.

There is another person, from the moment Josh entered the field, that person's eyes lingered on him for a long time and did not let go. The girl's smile seemed to sincerely accept and welcome Josh.

If there was no hostility in his eyes, Josh might believe his sincerity more.

Tom Cruise, the current and future Hollywood superstar, although in the next 20 years, the career of the other party has gradually declined, but for the global entertainment industry, Cruise has always been a real superstar.

Josh silently looked at the roof, his eyes were clear.

He speculated that Tom Cruise probably became hostile to him because of Arnold's relationship. After all, he and himself have become Arnold's stars one after another. If Josh's career is successful in the future, the media may advocate Tom Cruise Let go of Arnold, an excellent agent, and unfortunately, what the star fears most is comparison.

But in fact, Tom Cruise's emotions towards Josh are not as simple as Josh thought.

Of course, there is also Arnold's factor. Tom Cruise is really unhappy that the other party signed a young man with no foundation shortly after he terminated the contract. When the media reports, they will always automatically compare the other party with themselves. Soon Tom discovered that this young man was actually very talented, and it was this talent that made Tom face up to this guy named Josh Walter. After observing it, Tom Cruise found that Josh Walter was actually very threatening .

The other party is very young, but has excellent acting talent, and the other party's appearance is also the one that is most popular with the audience. If he continues to develop in the future, he may not be able to reach his own height.

What's more, the other party's acting skills are better than his own.

Tom Cruise does not belong to the broad-minded type of person, of course, he is not narrow-minded, he is just used to control all things in his own hands, people who interfere with him, whether it is his agent, or His wife, in the end, would become unbearable for him.

If Josh knew that Tom Cruise had such a rich opinion of him, he might be emotional, first Brad Pitt, then Tom Cruise, and finally put together a Leonardo DiCap Leo, the world's most famous entertainment superstar is his enemy.

He can make up a story about monsters vs. superman in his brain.

In other words, he would be very, very proud. After all, the enemies of superstars are all superstars. How can a superstar become friends with an anonymous person?

As soon as this thought fell, a young face running in front of Josh made Josh couldn't help but take a step back.

Do you want to be so clever?

He just thought of Leonardo DiCaprio, and the other party appeared in front of him with a bright smile on his face. What happened?

When he was young, Leonardo had a sunny and handsome face. Although he had just debuted, he had attracted the attention of the industry with his performance full of aura. Not long after he played a role in the TV series "Growing Pains", he became famous for his outstanding performance. His talent was accepted into the film circle and became one of the official members of Hollywood.

Leonardo's agency had several invitations to the dinner, and this time they gave him one without hesitation.

"Josh Walter!" Leonardo looked at Josh with bright eyes, "I'm your fan!"

"Thank you!"

Josh smiled slightly, and without paying attention, he patted his back with both hands: "Josh, so you are here, I have just been looking for you for a long time."

"Rui..."

Before Josh had time to say Rui Fan's name, a scream of surprise immediately attracted both of them's full attention.The face of the young boy in front of him was flushed, but his eyes were shining brightly at him and Rui Fan. His eyes fell on Josh for a while, and then moved away reluctantly, looking at Rui Fan.

"River, River Phoenix, I'm your fan!" Leonardo DiCaprio felt that today is his lucky day, first Josh Walter, and then River Phoenix, he simply Be the luckiest man on the planet!

Thank God, thank his manager, he didn't even want to attend what he thought was a boring banquet, but he came and met his idol!

Leonardo DiCaprio's goal when he entered Hollywood was to become a big star, not a big star like Tom Cruise. He hoped that he could use his performance to infect the audience and become a big star with acting skills.

For Leonardo DiCaprio today, Josh Walter and River Phoenix are his idols, the shining ones!

Especially the latter, although he is only 22 years old this year, he has already won a Venice best actor, two Golden Globe nominations and one Oscar nomination.

Josh Walter is also very good. He entered Hollywood in the same year as himself. In just two years, he also received a Venice Best Actor and a Golden Globe nomination. Leonardo DiCaprio even heard that Josh Walter This year's performance in "Scent of a Woman" could earn him another Golden Globe nomination, and even an Oscar nomination.

There is no greater gift for a young actor than a nomination.

The most secret wish in Leonardo DiCaprio's heart is to win an Oscar in his lifetime. Although he doesn't know when that will happen, it is his dream.

Rui Fan stretched out his hand with a smile, and shook hands with Leonardo: "Nice to meet you."

"I'm also very happy, no, I couldn't be happier, if I tell people now that I met River Phoenix, they will definitely envy me."

Leonardo's incoherent speech made Josh and Rui Fan smile at each other, especially the former, Josh never imagined that Leonardo in his youth would be such a shy and innocent young lady, unlike the fat, tall and handsome lady in his impression. Leonardo with the water gun is hardly the same person.

No one present could have guessed that such a cute and sunny little Zhengtai would become one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood in the future.

He not only became famous all over the world with "Titanic", but also raised the Oscar trophy many years later, realizing the dual value of business and art.

What's more, even as a well-known big star, Leonardo's daily life is still unrestrained and unrestrained as always, without being affected by the status of a big star at all-there are too many stars who care too much about their own image in later generations. They have to find professionals to retouch their pictures, and fashion weeks and shows have replaced acting as their job, but in fact, even though they have walked a lot in major brand shows and become the muse of countless designers, in Hollywood they still It is found that there is no such person.

Even the brand endorsement they are looking forward to will be easily stuffed into the arms of an Oscar winner by the brand, and the other party can get everything he wants without any effort.

That freedom is what Josh admires about Leonardo DiCaprio.

Josh, Rui Fan, and Leonardo were chatting, but Al beckoned to Josh and signaled him to come over.

Josh smiled apologetically: "Rui Fan, Leo, I'll go first."

Leonardo showed him a bright smile. After Josh left, he looked at Rui Fan with bright eyes, as if an obsessed little fan met his most admired idol.

No, Rui Fan was originally his idol.

Rui Fan suddenly had a premonition that it was difficult for Leonardo to resist. Looking at Josh's back, he intentionally called Josh to come back for a chat, but after a while, Rui Fan still gave up. Thoughts, joined Leonardo's idol meeting.

In fact, River Phoenix is ​​still thinking about why he became a star because of being adrift and suffering too much staring since he was a child. In other words, his natural inferiority complex makes him unable to believe that there are people in this world who like him so much. He—Before this, River Phoenix rarely came into contact with Leonardo's straightforward and passionate fans. If he hadn't become friends with Josh, he wouldn't even know how to get along with such a passionate person.

Fortunately, Leonardo is just his fan, if it was someone else, Rui Fan would definitely find a way to escape.

Josh walked up to Al with a smile.

Al's thin arm patted Josh's shoulder: "I see that you are excited about the conversation. Sure enough, young people should play with young people. It's not interesting to deal with old guys like me."

"Al, you are not old at all. Arnold just told me today that you are younger than when he first met you!"

Al smiled and shook his head: "This brat! I don't believe a single word of his nonsense, don't learn from that guy."

Josh nodded vigorously: "Well, I know."

Al put his arm around Josh's shoulder: "Come with me, I'll take you to meet some people."

The two shuttled through the crowd for a while, and soon, Josh was brought to Carlos Ross by Al.

Participants of the dinner included celebrities in the Los Angeles area, executives of film companies, directors and actors. Among the high-status participants, Carlos Ross was the youngest and the most watched one.

Not to mention his status as the heir to the Ross family, his influence over Time Warner, an entertainment giant, is enough to make everyone value his status.The Ross family has a very high prestige in the political and business circles of Los Angeles. Coupled with Carlos Ross's outstanding business talent and investment vision, no one present dared to underestimate the too young heir of the Ross family.

Just when Al Pacino was about to introduce Josh to Carlos Ross, Carlos Ross suddenly extended his hand to Josh: "Long time no see, Josh."

"Long time no see, Carlos." The moment Josh shook his hand, his palm was hooked slightly, with a slight itchiness, Josh withdrew his hand calmly, put it in his pocket, and caught a glimpse of The smile on the corner of the guy's mouth.

The old man is in heat again.

Al Pacino opened his eyes wide: "Josh, do you know Mr. Ross?"

Josh nodded: "Al, don't you usually read newspapers? I thought the whole world knew that Mr. Ross and I knew each other."

Carlos Ross explained with a smile: "Josh's brother is my friend, so I am more familiar with him."

"Okay." Al shrugged, "I knew there should be more topics among young people. There is no need for me, an old man, to join you."

"Al!"

Al Pacino signaled Josh to communicate with Carlos Ross with his eyes: "Carlos Ross is personally willing to contribute to our awards season public relations. He has Steve Ross' public relations team in his hands. Do you understand? ?”

Josh nodded unrepentantly: "Understood."

He needs to communicate more with industry leaders, he understands it very well.

The two then walked to a relatively quiet corner. Josh thought for a while and asked, "Did Colin come to bother you during this time?"

Carlos Ross shook his head, with helplessness in his eyes: "Josh, we haven't seen each other for a long time, can we stop talking about Colin as soon as we meet? Now Colin is like a nightmare to me. "

Josh's eyes were full of teasing: "Seeing that you are very energetic, Colin should not continue to disturb you."

"Please, although Colin is my friend, he still cares about you most." Carlos Ross sighed, "I don't want you to remind him, and then my nightmare will happen again."

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Carlos Ross stretched out his hand carefully, and it fell into Josh's palm.

The familiar warm touch made Carlos' eyes glow with satisfaction. He gently held Josh's hand and whispered, "Josh, I miss you very much."

"I don't want you." Josh's answer was as crisp as ever.

"It's cruel enough, thank God for giving me a strong heart." Carlos Ross was not annoyed, but looked at Josh with gentle eyes, as if the most gentle lover looked at his lover.

Josh glanced at him: "You are a man who can survive Colin's abuse, don't underestimate yourself."

"Josh, has anyone told you that it's immoral to ruin a romance?"

Josh glared at him: "There's no need to be too gentle with some guys who have bad intentions from the beginning."

Carlos Ross clenched Josh's fingers more and more: "Josh, I have already explained to you that although my motives were not pure at the beginning, it was just a coincidence."

"I'm not unwilling to listen to the explanation." Josh said, "Or do you think I'll let you hold hands?"

Carlos Ross smiled, different from the shrewdness in the past, there was a hint of sincerity hidden in his smile at this moment: "Thank you, Josh."

Although Josh's attitude towards him has not changed much, Carlos still feels very fortunate that at least he can still meet Josh and have skin-to-skin contact with him at this moment. Although it is still difficult to establish a romantic relationship, Carlos Los Ross has always been a patient person, especially when it comes to dealing with Josh, his patience is more abundant than ever.

When he was separated from Carlos Ross, Josh finally felt the difficulty of this guy again. It took almost a hundred times of effort before Josh let his hand out of the opponent's control, which made him regret why he was not there. The guy withdrew his hand as it approached.

After that, Josh chatted with Steven Spielberg for a while and talked about his views on the role of Amon. While the director nodded repeatedly, he also reminded Josh to study the role more patiently.

"It's not an easy role, Josh, and you have to work many times harder than before."

"I will, Mr. Director."

Towards the end of the dinner, Josh finally reunited with Brad Pitt in the bathroom.

Before taking off his pants, Brad Pitt couldn't hold back his eagerness to provoke Josh: "You're lucky, I don't know how you tricked Spielberg into the role!"

"A little worse than you." Josh kept smiling: "How does it feel to sleep with an old woman?"

Brad Pitt only felt an evil fire rushing straight to his face, he glared at Josh angrily: "Josh Walter, what do you mean?"

Josh fought back without hesitation: "Why, have you forgotten how you attacked me in the media some time ago? I am indeed inferior to you in some aspects of courage, such as sleeping with different old women, and then picking out The one that works best for you."

"They are all my girlfriends!"

Brad Pitt was so angry with Josh that he didn't even have the desire to release water. He took off his pants and showed a vicious look at Josh.

Josh glanced at him playfully, from his face to his waist, and then to the key parts of men, and then, as Brad Pitt expected, he shook his head vigorously.

Brad Pitt swears he absolutely heard the damn guy sigh.

What do you mean?

Brad Pitt thinks his money is amazing. Relying on his masculine and handsome face and proud capital, his girlfriends have changed one after another. No matter when he was a student or after he became a Hollywood star, no woman has ever been right. He was dissatisfied with his ability in that area.

Josh Walter, the damn little boy, dares to laugh at him?

It would be nice for him to have half of himself!

With a "stab", Brad Pitt heard the sound of the zipper being unzipped. In order to get revenge on Josh, he laughed at him for being just a useless little boy. position, looking down——

Fuck!Why is it so big!

Brad Pitt couldn't believe his eyes. He took a deep breath to make his mind clearer, and he couldn't help looking over again...

Fuck!He was right just now!

Why is that damned boy so talented!It's too bad!
