[US Entertainment] 1994

Suddenly released from the state of filming, Josh felt like he was recovering from a serious illness. Originally, all his energy was focused on the script and the crew. When he looked up, the sky was also gray, and suddenly returned to the bustling Los Angeles. Josh unexpectedly I feel a little uncomfortable.

I haven't been back for a long time, and the trees downstairs in the apartment seem to be different from before.

Josh's only feeling now is that he is tired, his whole body seems to be soaked in water, he has no strength, and he doesn't want to do anything.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer. In May, the whole city is bustling, including the vibrant Hollywood film market. However, this has nothing to do with Josh. He only has the only stock of "Schindler's List" in his hand. The movie is destined to compete for next year's Oscar, and it has nothing to do with the summer vacation.

After the Oscars ceremony, Josh didn't show up for more than two months, and the media naturally quickly left him behind-Hollywood never lacks topic generators, and the two-month vacancy is enough for the media to create countless It's an exciting and even sensational topic.

Yawning, Josh pushed open the door and hung the washed quilt cover on the balcony. Just after closing the door, he met Bell who came in from the outside. The other party looked at Josh in surprise: "Are you back?"

Josh nodded: "I just came back, how about you, what have you been up to lately?"

Bell shrugged: "It's still the same, making movies and participating in some messy activities."

His eyes wandered on Josh for a moment, and he said firmly: "You have lost weight, it seems that you have suffered a lot in the crew, how does it feel to work with a great director?"

Josh smiled and said: "Chris, your feeling should be deeper, isn't it? But I want to say that the weight loss has nothing to do with the shooting. My character doesn't have to suffer, but the weather in Poland is much more terrible than I imagined. , I had to eat more hot food to keep my body warm and still lost weight."

The two chatted casually for a while. During the meal, Bell and Josh casually mentioned a few new things that happened in Hollywood during this period. Generally speaking, Bell is not a person who is particularly good at words. They all tasted dry, but fortunately, the manager came the next day, and Josh was honored to listen to the gossip from him for a day.

For example, a certain celebrity couple had a fight at home and called the fire brigade, a certain male celebrity went out to steal food with his wife on his back and met a transgender person...

Only God knows the source of Arnold's information, Josh simply suspected that every dog ​​on the street had his bug installed.

"Is your condition better?" Arnold asked suddenly.

Josh nodded slowly: "Not bad."

"Josh, do you know—" Mr. Manager paused, and said with a serious expression, "I sometimes wish you wouldn't be so serious, you know how many Hollywood actors have to give up acting because of depression and mental disorders Does this work?"

In the early stage of the filming of "Schindler's List", Arnold was negotiating a high-priced endorsement contract for Josh. During the filming, he had already bought a plane ticket, but before the plane took off, he actually caught a fool with chemicals. In the end it was just a false alarm, but he still missed the best time to go to Poland.

Arnold Keynes is extremely grateful that Steven Spielberg is a professional director with rich experience and meticulous attention. It is conceivable that if Josh was mentally damaged due to filming, the situation would be very bad.

Josh showed a helpless smile: "Arnold, you understand me, if I really become like that, I won't be me."

The manager sighed, and couldn't help but tapped Josh on the head: "Okay, I'll give you about a month's vacation. After a month, you have to pick a suitable script and start working hard. do you understand?"

"Understood, long-winded Arnold." Josh muttered, "We haven't seen you for so long, are you here to teach me a lesson? I'm so sad that I don't have the excitement of reuniting after a long absence."

"Not at all." Mr. Manager spread his hands, "We are purely money relationship."

Josh silently rolled his eyes.

……

Arnold was allowed to leave, and Josh would naturally not give up the rare rest time, and lived a life of eating, sleeping, sleeping and eating like a pig.

He and Rui Fan haven't seen each other for a long time, but Rui Fan is currently filming in other places, and he won't be able to come back for a while, Josh plans to visit the set in a few days to surprise his friend.

However, his happy life did not last long. After he went out without a star image for the third time and bought the same brand of hot dogs in the same supermarket, Arnold finally couldn't help but roar:

"Look who's this guy in the paper? The youngest homeless guy ever in Los Angeles? I really doubt you're doing a movie called 'Beggar Tycoon,' dear Josh, have you forgotten that you're the face of a menswear brand? ?”

Josh blinked... He seemed to have really forgotten.

After a long while, Josh said, "So I should wear a smart suit and go to the supermarket to buy hot dogs? Arnold, I'm on vacation, why should I be so serious? And I don't think my clothes are a nightmare. Is it really that bad? ?”

Mr. Broker nodded very seriously.

To be honest, Josh's dress was not that illegal, at most it was a little rough, but that was what Arnold was worried about.He signed the endorsement of Josh's men's clothing brand in the hope that the other party can make achievements in fashion. If Josh doesn't care about his own image, the brand may not have paid attention to it, but the media will definitely play it up.

Anything that gets the media dirty is bound to have the worst possible outcome, and that never needs to be proven.

"Pay attention a little bit, fix your hair, dye it, spray some perfume..."

"That's too flamboyant. I always thought I was a good boy."

The manager shrugged his shoulders: "That's right, but good boys will grow up one day. Do you still think you are a little boy? Poor Josh."

He looked at Josh from head to toe with sympathetic eyes, while shaking his head slightly, making an indistinct sound in his mouth.

Mr. Manager thought that Josh would correct him after he reminded him, but the reality is——

It was indeed changed, but what Josh changed was not his clothes, but his travel.

From that day on, the tabloid reporters couldn't photograph Josh anymore!

He can stay at home for several days in a row, with the curtains closed tightly. Except for neighbors who occasionally see a tall figure driving out of the house in the morning and evening, others can't figure out his movements at all.

The old friend of Josh in the "National Enquirer" wanted to follow up his news, but unfortunately, he was blocked by the editor-in-chief:

"Would you really like Josh Walter to tell me I love you downstairs?"

"No one cares about Josh Walter anymore, and now the audience is most curious about the scandal between Brad Pitt and Julia Ormond. Shoot, we'd better send someone to the crew to find out what's going on."

"But Josh Walter has an Oscar nomination..."

"Dear guy, Gene Hackman is still an award winner, would you be interested in squatting downstairs and filming an old man's sex life?"

The editor-in-chief sneered, "Josh Walter is just an asexual kid, but Brad Pitt can support you and me. You should know what's important, huh?"

With such a coincidence, Josh was able to spend a happy vacation.

This year's summer vacation is still full of excitement. Josh happened to be able to walk into the cinema to feast his eyes. In mid-to-late June, the two films "Jurassic Park" and "Sleepless in Seattle" were released on a large scale across North America a week apart. The difference of moviegoing groups combined with the excellence of the two films have achieved excellent box office and reputation, especially the latter. The high box office of this film seems to have broken through Hollywood's traditional love story of handsome men and beautiful women, making moviegoers I saw the possibility of diversifying the subject matter of shooting.

In July, "The Line of Fire" and "Sugar Coated Trap" were released. The former starred Clint Eastwood and the latter starred Tom Cruise. I understand the special status of the two Toms in Hollywood in the 7s. Although Tom Hanks' "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Forrest Gump" have achieved double certification at the box office and word of mouth, Tom Cruise's The box office record is not weak at all. Although the films he starred in rarely occupy the first place on the box office charts, they often occupy a place in the top ten of the year, and the return ratio is amazing.

Josh stroked his chin and thought silently, although he wanted to be Arnold's pride, but now it seems that it is more reliable to find a way to win a statuette first.

Competing with Tom Cruise at the box office is still a bit difficult for him now.

At least he'll have to star in an important film first.

But Josh didn't feel afraid at all. On the contrary, he felt extremely excited, his soul and body were clamoring to defeat his opponent. With this feeling as a foreshadowing, the end of the holiday didn't seem to be a bad thing.

So on a night of overexcitement, when Josh enthusiastically asked his agent to send a script, the agent's tone was extremely stinky: "Josh Walter, you bastard!"

"The moment the phone rang, I almost wilted, can you believe it? If you appeared in front of me now, I would definitely hack you to death with a kitchen knife and chop off your dog's head..."

Josh blinked, and the next second, he put the phone on the bedside and slipped out quietly.

Ten minutes later, the other end of the phone was still chattering about his black history, and Josh couldn't help but praised himself for his wit and intelligence.

What he cared more about was that he obviously interrupted Arnold's good business. It stands to reason that the other party should continue to carry a gun to the battle, but now he didn't. Could it be...

Josh was silently curious.
