[US Entertainment] 1994

"Fuck, why is he so difficult to photograph!" Reid Bryan, a reporter from the "National Enquirer" and who took the unorthodox photo of Josh himself, thumped the steering wheel. With a hint of gloom, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and smoked it slowly.

It's not like it used to be, and even though that candid photo has only been a few months old, Red Bryan is already one of the Enquirer's most trusted reporters.

Although the non-mainstream photo incident ended with the "National Enquirer" admitting defeat, Red Bryan was appreciated by the editor-in-chief Adam Davis. It's booming.

With the Golden Globes and Oscars approaching, most of the nominated movie stars have returned to Los Angeles to make final preparations for the awards season's public relations. The stars are very busy, and the reporters of the "National Enquirer" are also busy. Where to go, the reporters are almost in shifts, either go out during the day and come back to sort out the material at night, or change it, the news of the awards season is more than usual. Te Eastwood attends a dinner held by Barbra Streisand... In addition to the official news, the reporters have to find a way to make up some gossip that readers love to watch, and they are as busy as a spinning top all day long.

If any readers have studied the reports of the "National Enquirer" during this period, they can probably appreciate the surprise of the painting style.

For example, on the same day, two reports with completely different styles may appear on the same page.

"Tom Cruise Famous Film Critic at the Night Party, Golden Globe Winner Hopeful" and "Stallone Holds Naked/Body Party, Neighbors Found Several Pairs of Underpants Outside the House", the latter is so fake news that it can no longer be faked, but For empty-headed housewives, that's the style of the National Enquirer they favor.

Josh was among the stars Red Bryan was following.

As the Golden Globes are approaching, the box office of "Scent of a Woman" is increasing day by day. In the low season of January, the movie has won the weekend box office champion for three consecutive weeks. Ye was grinning from ear to ear, and jumped into the top 1 in the annual box office list, creating a box office record for Universal Pictures this year.

As one of the leading actors, Josh already has the box office appeal recognized by insiders.

Although Josh has not really played the leading role since his debut, the several films he has participated in have achieved good box office. According to the analysis of professionals, the box office performance of these films is closely related to him. Even Josh "My Cousin Vinny" has the weakest sense of presence, and some viewers admit that they bought tickets to watch it because of Josh's name. Therefore, there is no doubt that Josh is the most watched in January. One of the Hollywood stars.

The audience is curious about Josh, and the media will naturally find a way to meet their demands.

However, it was only at the stage of operation that the reporters realized how difficult Josh was to follow.

First of all, Josh is an out-and-out homeboy. Even in this busy awards season, it is difficult to find Josh on other occasions except for some public relations activities.

Red Bryan could say with certainty that once Josh got into his old-fashioned apartment, he might not be able to wait for him to go out after three days of squatting.

Compared with other male stars who are keen on socializing, Josh’s private life is as clean as a piece of white paper. The last non-mainstream photo incident can be regarded as out of line. Josh does not go to bars and is not keen on various He doesn’t like racing cars, drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana, and lives quietly like a real old man. No, in Hollywood, the land where gossip is born, even male stars aged 6 and 70 will occasionally have sex News, in comparison, Josh is simply a representative of the ascetics.

Red Bryan's new colleague, the young Donald, guessed, "Perhaps Josh Walter has converted to a sect that requires abstinence, and is praying at home right now?"

Red Bryan pinched off his cigarette butt, took out a telescope from his backpack, and began to observe carefully.

During this period of time, he has lost Josh several times. The car arranged by the newspaper is old and broken. It can't compare with the speed of the car Josh is driving now. The speed at which Shi's legs strode forward can leave him, an old man, far behind. The newspaper office has been rushing for news, and Red Bryan is so anxious that his mouth has a few bubbles.

What he is most fortunate about now is that Josh's net worth is not enough to buy a big house in Beverly Hills, where it is even more difficult to follow and secretly take pictures. If he is in an apartment, he can at least make up something about this house.

After a while, Red Bryan sighed. There were only poor white curtains in the telescope lens, and a figure was faintly reflected on the window, but he didn't know if that person was Josh Walter.

After a while, seeing his new colleague Donald still looking around, Red Bryan patted him on the back: "Let's go first."

"No, don't you want to shoot?"

"I won't shoot anymore, I have something to write."

Donald obediently turned the car around, but he was very puzzled in his mind, nothing was photographed, what did Red Bryan plan to write?

When the new issue of the "National Enquirer" came out the next day, Donald finally understood everything.

The headline of the report was "Rising Hollywood star still renting old apartment, being unfairly paid? "

In this report, the "National Enquirer" used a photo of the apartment to describe in detail the situation of Josh's current rented apartment, and analyzed the box office results of the three films that Josh currently starred in, and then wrote road:

"As far as the author knows, Josh Walter has already won the Venice Best Actor Award and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award when he took over the filming of "Scent of a Woman". His salary should reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. Currently, Josh Walter The monthly rent of the rented apartment is only a few hundred dollars. Apart from the consumption of rent and a car worth tens of thousands of dollars, Walter himself has no other consumption. Considering the concealment and the comfort of life, Walter should Renting to a villa or an apartment with higher security like other stars, instead of still living in a dilapidated apartment, the only possibility of this situation is that Walter is short of money. Could it be that the crew of "Scent of a Woman" deliberately suppressed Got Walter's pay?"

In order to make this report seem plausible, the "National Enquirer" listed the residences of several young actors. Some of them rented or even bought villas, and some bought high-rise apartments. Compared with them, Joe The living environment is really not worth mentioning.

Seeing this report the next day, Josh's first reaction was to twitch the corner of his mouth, and his second reaction was to call Arnold Keynes.

In the afternoon of the same day, Arnold Keynes was interviewed by reporters regarding the report of the "National Enquirer", denying the "National Enquirer's" statement. Almost at the same time, the producer of "Scent of a Woman" and the Screen Actors Guild of America Representatives of the "National Enquirer" also stood up and denounced the "National Enquirer"'s non-existent fabrication.

"The actor's remuneration contract was negotiated with the actor himself and signed by two union workers as witnesses. There is no unfair situation." The union representative said in an interview. Don't make false reports under certain circumstances, it will cause a lot of trouble."

When the reporter asked Josh, Josh spread his hands: "It is my own right to live in what kind of house. I am very grateful to the editor-in-chief Adam Davis for his kindness to me. I will definitely go downstairs to your newspaper and say loudly about my love you."

Reminiscent of Josh's answer after the non-mainstream modeling incident, the reporters present couldn't help but "haha" laughed.

Time flies by, and January 1th arrives in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Josh opened the door to Arnold Keynes sleepily, and muttered, "Why are you so energetic, what did you do last night?"

"Golden Globes! Golden Globes! How many times do I have to tell you what the Golden Globes mean?"

Josh yawned: "Isn't it the Golden Globes? It's not like I didn't participate last year."

Arnold Keynes rubbed his hair vigorously: "Get ready! This year is different. Last year, everyone knew you were a soy saucer. This year is different. The judges for the nomination of the male supporting role may be lenient."

"Are you so optimistic about me?" Josh raised his eyebrows and climbed off the bed reluctantly.Seeing his raised eyebrows, Arnold Keynes showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at, and pointed to the corner of his eyes: "It's a big eyeball, go wash your face."

"Oh." Josh yawned again, "Why do I have to get up so early? Anyway, the ceremony starts at night, can I go to bed and sleep?"

The manager flatly refused: "No."

Ok.

Josh pursed his lips, and slowly went to take a shower under the stern gaze of Arnold Keynes. After half an hour of dawdling, his steps were finally not so vain.

Josh sat down on the sofa and gnawed on the banana in hand.

"Hey, Josh!"

Josh rolled his eyes: "What's the matter?"

"Can you be gentle when you eat bananas? It's scary to gnash your teeth."

After Arnold Keynes finished speaking, Josh not only didn't stop, but chewed the banana more vigorously. His teeth were white and bright, and no matter how he looked at them, he had a vicious smell.

Mr. Broker: "..."

This day is simply impossible!

After washing up, Josh applied some skin care products on his face, and then applied a little powder. His skin had no blemishes in the first place, and the purpose of applying powder was just to make the photos look better on the red carpet.

After rubbing it off, he suddenly remembered that it seemed to be morning, and it was useless to apply powder, and he had to apply it in the afternoon.

In order to make Josh shine on the red carpet of the Golden Globes, Arnold Keynes painstakingly borrowed a set of custom-made men's suits, from Colin's favorite brand that starts with V for Josh.

Josh blinked: "I seem to have underestimated myself, I thought these brands were not easy to borrow."

"If they don't even want to borrow a Golden Globe nominee, their publicity department must have some shit in their head."

The borrowed suit Josh had tried before. In fact, he still had a few good ready-made suits in his hand, but the custom-made suits were obviously better. It was completely different before.

After contacting the crew of "Scent of a Woman" and Al Pacino, Josh once again stepped onto the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards in the afternoon.

After getting out of the car, Josh paused slightly due to the waves of people coming towards him, but before he could react, voices chanting his name sounded from both sides of the red carpet, and Josh threw a shot in that direction. Smiling, then waved to both sides of the red carpet.

Shots everywhere, shouts everywhere.

Although he had already participated in the Golden Globes red carpet last year, Josh was [-]% sure that he absolutely did not encounter such enthusiasm last year.

It was neither early nor late for Josh to walk the red carpet, and he happened to be stuck in the middle. There were no people on the red carpet, but the interview area at the back was crowded with people, flaunting brightly colored dresses for women and elegant bow ties for men.

Josh is wearing a tie today.

The author has something to say: there are only so many today, good night everyone.
