[US Entertainment] 1994

When Rui Fan came, Josh's mood improved a lot. After reading the newspaper and taking a shower, Josh put on a brown sweater and paired it with a pair of dark jeans, and tossed about in front of the mirror for a long time.

During this process, Rui Fan held the pile of newspapers and read them with gusto: "It's really interesting to compare the news. Every author has a different idea."

Josh opened his eyelids, stared at the dark circles under the corners of his eyes for a full minute, and decided not to stay up late during this time.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Josh and Rui Fan decided to go out for a big meal. They didn't care about the reporters who might be guarding Josh's downstairs, so they just walked out the door.

The brown sweater and straight trousers make Josh's figure extraordinarily slender, and the sweater can easily give people a warm feeling. In addition, Josh is not the kind of star who is full of aloofness. With an outstanding face, he walks in the On the street, Josh was recognized immediately.

In this way, during the short distance from home to the restaurant, Josh received a lot of hot eyes along the way. Rui Fan walked beside him and was also affected by the eyes: "I reminded you, the second place in the Golden Globe Awards Going out for the day was not the right decision."

Josh hooked his neck: "You are not satisfied when someone treats you to dinner?"

Rui Fan shook his head: "No, I just regret that I didn't wear sunglasses when I went out today."

Josh made a look of "you're smart", took the menu from the waiter, and ordered a bunch of delicacies. Only then did Josh feel that he had been a little bit less aggrieved from the awards ceremony.

"...Josh..." Rui Fan looked at the empty plate, and the corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, "If you eat any more, your manager will kill you."

"No." Josh wiped his mouth, "Arnold, who is considerate, will understand me. He understands that I lost 10 pounds overnight because I didn't win the award, so it doesn't matter if I eat more .”

"..."

Well, there was a helpless smile on the corner of Rui Fan's lips, he could already imagine the irritable look of Josh's poor manager who was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

........................

The presentation of the Golden Globes sparked a heated discussion in North America.

On the one hand, the Golden Globe Awards have always been considered one of the important outposts of the Oscars, and the results it produces usually have a high overlap rate with the Oscars. The list is even more curious, especially professional film critics, who are discussing the results of this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Josh was naturally among those being discussed.

No film critics criticized Josh's performance in the film. The film critics believed that both Josh and Gene Hackman's performances were enough to win a Golden Globe. The Golden Globe chose Hackman, so Josh was just lucky. not good enough.

This situation often happens during awards season. Even the most powerful nominees cannot 100% believe that they are the final winners before the winners are announced.

Of course, no one would know that Josh's resentment was so deep. The media took photos of him and Rui Fan walking on the street together, and even praised his calm demeanor.

If anyone knew how in awe the waiter in the restaurant sent Josh out that day, the reporters would probably be dumbfounded. After all, the amount of food Josh consumed that day had exceeded the standard of normal human beings, and he was a real big eater. There is not much difference anymore.

At the beginning of February, Josh finally recovered from his half-dead state. This is a month destined to be busy. The list of Oscar nominations has been released. In addition to the preliminary preparations for "Schindler's List", the crew's official start date is scheduled for early March. , time is running out.

In mid-February, the long overdue Oscar Organizing Committee finally announced the nomination list.

Josh's name popped up among the Best Supporting Actor nominees.It is worth mentioning that the Golden Globes and Oscars have achieved [-]% overlap in the Best Supporting Actor award this year, and the nominees are Gene Hackman, Jack Nicholson, David Pe En, Al Pacino and Josh five people.

Josh shrugged: "This at least proves that I was indeed one of the five best supporting actors last year."

Compared with the fact that the Golden Globes are divided into two categories, drama and comedy, resulting in a total of ten nominations for the leading role, there are only five nominations for the Oscars every year. The nominees for best actor include Al, Robert Downey Jr. Lynt Eastwood, Stephen Wray and Denzel Washington, the overlap rate of Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for best actor in a drama category reached 60%, Jack Nicholson and Tom Kerr Although Ruth was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series, he was not affirmed by the Oscar judges. Stephen Ray and Clint Eastwood replaced them and occupied the other two nominations.

Actresses are also more dominant in drama films. Among the several nominees, except for Catherine Deneuve, who was favored by the Oscar judges without being nominated for the Golden Globes, the other actresses are all Golden Globes A nominee for Best Actress in a Drama Series, and because of this, Emma Thompson is considered to continue her dominance at the Golden Globes and win her first Oscar for Best Actress.

It is worth mentioning that Marisa Tomei, who collaborated with Josh in "My Cousin Vinny", was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance in this film, and won the Golden Globe in the comedy category Miranda Richardson, the best actress, gave up the competition in the best actress department and switched to the Best Supporting Actress department, and successfully became one of the nominees.

"Scent of a Woman" was shortlisted for 5 nominations at this year's Oscars, namely Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay. Martin Brest also Received his first Oscar nomination, which can be regarded as making up for the regret at the Golden Globe Awards.

Josh was not interested in being shortlisted, but Arnold Keynes was very excited. He had already contacted the men's clothing brand in advance to customize Josh's shirt for the Oscars. When he turned around, he saw Josh leaning on the wall, his bones almost softening. The manager couldn't help but sighed, and asked, "Josh, why do you look so disinterested?"

Josh leaned on the wall: "Because I have a strong premonition that my ending at the Oscars will probably be the same as the Golden Globes..."

"But it's an Oscar!" Mr. Manager emphasized repeatedly, "An Oscar nomination is sometimes even more valuable than a Golden Globe trophy, do you understand?"

"Getting a nomination means that you have stepped into the sight of the academy. As long as you keep performing well, the academy will keep watching you and then send that trophy to you."

"For a young man your age, an Oscar nomination is the real beginning of fame," Arnold explained. "Your friend River Phoenix has been in small-budget films since his debut, but he has always been Considered by critics to be one of the most gifted actors to have received an Oscar nomination before he turned 20."

"There is also Robert Downey Jr., with an Oscar winner nomination, it is impossible for him to hide under his father's halo forever. Hollywood is gradually beginning to recognize his value." The manager rubbed Josh's hair, He pressed on the sofa from the wall, "You are already a lucky guy, Josh, my previous star, he was nominated for the Golden Globe and the Oscar for the first time. "A film as mature as this did not allow him to be nominated for Best Actor."

Josh raised his head, and unsurprisingly, he saw a look of melancholy in the manager's eyes, but the manager quickly recovered, and rubbed Josh's hair more vigorously with his fingers, turning it into a ball of rotten withered grass : "So you, a boy who is in the midst of blessings and doesn't know how to be blessed, cheer me up, the opportunity that many people can't get with their brains is now in your hands, get up and work hard!"

Josh showed a smile and asked, “Arnold, do you feel sorry for him?”

"You're really annoying." Mr. Manager glanced at Josh, "Of course not, because I have a better one now."

These words sounded a little sensational, just when Arnold Keynes was ready to meet Josh's merciless ridicule, the expected voice never sounded, on the contrary, Josh grinned the corners of his mouth, and his smile widened to the maximum The arc: "Yes, Arnold, I am the best."

At this moment, the atmosphere is extremely warm.

But the next second—

"Pa—" A light pat broke the warmth.

Arnold Keynes blew on the hand that just slapped some little idiot on the head: "So work hard for me now and help me make money!"

"..." Josh rubbed his hair, with a disgusted expression on his face: "After rubbing so much oil, the hairstyle I specially prepared for the Golden Globes was also ruined."

"Shut up, you, give me work!"

The manager pushed Josh away mercilessly: "Otherwise I will beat you."

……

For a moment, Josh felt that he was really a miserable person.

Although he felt that he could not compete with Gene Hackman this time, Josh still followed Arnold's request to participate in various public relations activities and try on the brand's custom-made clothing honestly. The award ceremony will not be officially held until late March, when Josh has already entered the filming crew of "Schindler's List".

The time will soon be the beginning of March.

After contacting the person in charge of the crew, on the second day of March, Josh arrived in Poland with the film crew and other co-stars to start filming the film "Schindler's List".

In addition to Josh, the first batch of actors who arrived on the scene included Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ebbs Davis and others. Compared with Liam Neeson, Josh's role is not much And the order was late, but Steven Spielberg still asked Josh to join the group early.

"You have to start to get familiar with the environment there and identify with the characters." Spielberg explained, "Also, I want to see you and Liam Neeson collide, you know, Josh ?”

Josh nodded: "I understand, Mr. Director."

Spielberg smiled slightly, his eyes circled around the camera crew, and finally fell on Liam Neeson.

Liam Neeson is 41 years old, a Northern Irish actor with a very restrained image and temperament.Unlike other actors, Liam Neeson did not intend to develop on the big screen at the beginning. He entered the industry late and his career development was not very smooth. It was not until 1990 that Liam Neeson won the starring role in the movie. Chances are, he was 38 years old at the time.

Josh is no stranger to Liam Neeson. Although he has always been in the second-tier position in Hollywood and has never been popular, only one "Schindler's List" is enough to make people remember his name , In addition, Neeson has starred in a large number of films, but his performances are always above the passing line, especially in action scenes. Neeson, who has learned fighting, is a real expert. Because of his talent in this area, Neeson, who is old, He won a series of opportunities to star in action movies, and his salary once soared to around 2000 million US dollars.

Liam Neeson walked towards Spielberg and Josh. He first greeted Mr. Director, then reached out and shook Josh: "Nice to meet you, Josh."

"Me too." Josh smiled slightly, "I hope we can have a good cooperation."

Although there is a nearly 20-year age difference, the roles played by the two in the movie are extremely challenging and have high requirements for actors. For Liam Neeson, he must play Schindler as a shrewd businessman and as a rescuer. The kindness of the hero and the wisdom in the face of the Nazis, but for Josh, he needs to perform the evil of Amon, and let the audience ignore his age while performing the evil.

This is undoubtedly a great challenge.

After Spielberg left, Josh and Liam Neeson occupied one side of the bench and started chatting.

"To be honest, I was very surprised when I found out that the partner is you, because I have never heard of your name before." Liam Neeson smiled, "I think you should feel similar to me."

"No, I know you." Josh explained, "It doesn't matter whether we knew each other before. The important thing is that we have known each other now, and we will get acquainted soon."

"So, once again, happy cooperation."
