[US Entertainment] 1994

At least Universal Pictures will spend more time on "Scent of a Woman".

If a movie is successful at the box office, the production company can certainly take the lion's share of the profits, but for the crew and actors, the excellent box office results will add a lot of color to their resumes. For example, for Josh, "Scent of a Woman" " may be his first movie with a box office of over [-] million.

Although it is not a miracle that the box office of over 90 million is not a miracle in later generations, in the [-]s, the box office of over [-] million was a real achievement, especially for young actors like Josh.

It can be said that looking at the North American box office rankings for the past 10 years, there are only a handful of movies with young actors participating in the box office.

Josh's mood became visibly excited.

When calling Rui Fan, Josh felt like he was floating in the sky, his feet were floating, and his eyes were excited. After receiving Rui Fan's congratulations, Josh even laughed "haha", which made the other end of the phone Rui Fan couldn't help but sighed: "Josh, you are one of the leading actors in a movie with a box office of [-] million, can you be more cautious?"

"Not yet [-] million, soon." Josh pretended to be modest.

"Your happiness has been conveyed to me through the microphone, Josh, congratulations, "Scent of a Woman" is a very good movie, our whole family went to see it."

"Thank you, Rui Fan, you are so kind!"

Rui Fan complained: "I have a friend who is like a fool, can I treat him better?"

Normally, when Rui Fan complained about him like this, Josh would definitely fight back without hesitation, but because he was in a good mood today, Josh just let Rui Fan complain happily, without replying.

After hanging up the phone, Rui Fan shook his head lightly, alas, he is still a child who can't grow up.He has so many younger brothers and sisters, and he always regards himself as the elder brother at home. Before he became friends with Josh, he thought that the other party was the same stable and reserved type as himself, but he didn't expect——

Alas, it's like having another brother.

After contacting Rui Fan, Josh called Tom, Lisa, and Colin in turn. After talking for a while, he found that everyone had already seen his movie. Josh felt a little small Moved, but more excited.

Want to be an actor, want to be a successful actor.

Seeing himself stepping forward step by step on the road to success, this feeling cannot be brought to him by doing anything else, and he is indeed suitable to be an actor.

Jumping three feet high on the bed and singing a national anthem, Josh thought he was very excited, but in the eyes of Christian Bale who was separated by the wall, Josh's singing was no different from the noise.

Bell has long heard the excellent box office performance of "Scent of a Woman". Seeing Josh's career is going well, he planned to give him a yard, but Josh is getting more and more outrageous. The capital pierces the ears like a magic sound, and even the earplugs don't work anymore.

Bell couldn't bear it anymore, and knocked on the door opposite: "Josh Walter, shut up!"

"Oh." Josh licked his lips and stared at Bell innocently, "Did I bother you?"

Bell's face turned blue: "What do you think? Thank God you didn't become a singer."

Josh blinked: "If I had the talent to sing, I would definitely choose to be a singer."

"In short, today, tomorrow and all the time in the future, you shut up, you don't have the right to choose."

"... so fierce."

Christian Bale: "..."

He gave Josh a cool look: "Trust me, Josh, you will make the right choice."

In fact, facing the excellent box office performance of "Scent of a Woman", there is one person who is more excited than Josh, and that is Josh's agent, Mr. Arnold Keynes.

Arnold Keynes walked with a flutter these two days.

He only has a star like Josh in his hands. Josh is young and has no foundation in Hollywood. When he first took over, Arnold really thought that he would train Josh for a long time.

but now!Although Josh will celebrate his 23rd birthday in the next year, everyone admits that Josh already possesses the potential of a superstar.

A rising star, a future superstar!

Arnold Keynes was so excited that he couldn't sleep at the thought of this. He had never been so excited when he single-handedly trained Tom Cruise into a superstar.

The termination of the contract with Tom Cruise can be said to be one of the lowest periods in Arnold's life. Cruise's career is still flourishing, but he, as Cruise's former agent, endured ridicule.

Especially after choosing Josh, a previously unknown rookie, everyone doubted Arnold's vision.

But Josh has torn his way through Hollywood with an underrated gay film, and now, with a second Golden Globe nomination and Scent of a Woman's potential $1 million-plus run, it's proven Josh's strength.

After the broadcast of "The Oprah Show" and the large-scale release of "Scent of a Woman", the name of Josh Walter has entered the eyes of the vast majority of American audiences along with the media's step-by-step publicity.

The most important thing is that "Scent of a Woman" almost collides head-on with "The Heroes of Yihai". Apart from the different release dates, the box office results of the first weekend and the second weekend are similar, the number of Golden Globe nominations is similar, and even one The nominations of actor and supporting actor overlapped, and Josh's current agent was Tom Cruise's former agent, so the competition between the two would be hyped up by the media from time to time.

Although in the eyes of most people, Josh still cannot be compared with the deep-rooted Tom Cruise.

But everyone admits that Josh already has the strength to compete with Tom Cruise.

As one of the media that favors Josh the most, The Hollywood Reporter once again published a long article praising Josh:

"Although Josh Walter is very young, he has already become one of the most competitive actors in Hollywood. First of all, the box office results. Cousin Vinny" has a box office of 4 million, which is amazing compared to the investment gains. After three weeks, the box office of "Scent of a Woman", which is still in theaters, has successfully broken through 7000 million. Josh is an actor with better box office results, but what is even more surprising is his vision for film selection. When the eyes of most young actors are still turning in commercial films, Josh has already realized it with his excellent vision. A win-win at the box office and awards."

"23 years old, three movies, a cumulative box office of 1 million or even more than 5000 million, a Venice best actor trophy and two Golden Globe nominations, such achievements are even for an actor who is over 2 years old. Excellent. Next, Josh Walter will also participate in Steven Spielberg's works, and it is conceivable that he will surprise the audience with his outstanding performance."

"Young actors in Hollywood have been saying they don't have enough opportunities, and I think they should look at Josh Walter, who started off less than most of them, but what he's achieved is astonishing. All eyes. Young kids, maybe you should look at Walter and see him as a contender, chanting 'wolf.' Studios should see the box office appeal this young actor has, maybe you think The glory belongs to Al Pacino, it belongs to Joe Pesci, but you should look at the real survey data - 20% of the viewers of "Scent of a Woman" are after "The Oprah Winfrey Show" People who chose this movie, went into the theater, they were still hesitating which movie they should see, and then they saw the face of Josh Walter."

After reading the report, Josh immediately called Arnold: "Book me three years of The Hollywood Reporter, I love them to death!"

Josh swears that the editors of The Hollywood Reporter must have his true fans.

Haha!

After "Scent of a Woman" hit the box office, Josh immediately tasted the taste of popularity.

In the past, when he was walking on the street, he would occasionally be recognized by people and give him an autograph, but these two days, no matter whether he went to a nearby convenience store or a supermarket, someone always rushed to his side at the first time, and the restrained ones praised him. When he praises his movies, the crazy ones-

Force Josh to grow into a runner.

The kind who run for several streets without blushing or panting.

Josh thought to himself, maybe he should make a documentary about a long-distance runner, maybe he can win an Oscar for his realistic performance!

The author has something to say: that's all for today, there is nothing more.
