[US Entertainment] 1994

"Josh, are you nervous?"

The manager who came to disturb people's dreams early in the morning was kicked unceremoniously by Josh. He was not angry, but smiled, took a big sip from the coffee cup, and then looked at Josh with a smile , "Aren't you nervous?"

Josh glared at him angrily: "The second I saw you, I wasn't nervous anymore."

It's not easy to be a double agent. Ever since Josh found out about his evil deeds, every time the agent saw Josh, he would be severely ridiculed. He could only silently say "I am the best-tempered agent in Hollywood." People", resisting all the torture from Josh with a smile.

There is a daily battle between the kindest star in all of Hollywood and the best-tempered agent in all of Hollywood.

"It's so strange, you were so nervous when "Speed" was released, why are you so relaxed about "The Shawshank Redemption"?" Arnold looked puzzled, "Are you very confident in "Shawshank"?"

"I went to the cinema and watched "The Shawshank Redemption". It is indeed a good movie. The story is very exciting and ironic." Arnold shrugged his shoulders. At that moment in prison, I didn’t feel happy at all, but felt sad for him. No one knows the preciousness of time better than a man of my age. When I was in my 20s, I didn’t know how to cherish time. After 40, I like to recall the past. Although He escaped, but his best hours are buried in a dark prison."

Josh patted him lightly: "My thoughts are completely opposite to yours. Andy is different from Old Bu. Old Bu can't get out of Shawshank Prison at all. Andy never gave up escaping every second after he entered, even if he wanted to escape. It is slim, but once he sees a chance of rehabilitating, he will seize it without hesitation. Even if other people are released, they will not be able to escape the shackles of the prison. Andy is not, and Andy who has gained hope and freedom will live like a fish in water, Even though I can't see it, I know he's going to be fine."

"Everyone's understanding is different." Arnold smiled, "I have some good news for you, your Oscar supporting actor still has some effect. In recent days, there have been many movie fans queuing up to watch "The Shawshank Redemption" in theaters. "

In the first week, "The Shawshank Redemption" was only released on a small scale in 33 theaters across the United States. Although the release scale was small, it was enough for Columbia Pictures to figure out the follow-up release plan. The attitude of breaking the pot is broken. Of course, "The Shawshank Redemption" will make them happy at the box office. If the box office is bad——

It seems to be nothing, after all, nothing will be worse than now.

However, the box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" gave Columbia Pictures a big surprise.

The moment the box office figures for the first weekend came in hand, the director of the distribution department of Columbia Pictures stared at the numbers on the white paper for a long time, and then rushed to the president's office with the paper.

In 33 theaters, the box office results of the first weekend of its release were a full US$238 million!

This also means that the single-house box office of the film is 7.2 US dollars!

Such figures have surpassed last year's hit "Schindler's List", and are not even inferior to "The Lion King". There are even media predictions that even 10 years from now, no movie will surpass "The Lion King" at the single-house box office.

And "Shawshank's Redemption" can create a single-house box office of 33 US dollars in 7.2 theaters, which is no less than the single-house box office record of "The Lion King" in two theaters.

For "The Shawshank Redemption", and even for Columbia Pictures, this is a fantastic start!

With a box office score of 238 million US dollars, "The Shawshank Redemption" directly airborne to sixth place in this week's box office list.After the end of the summer holidays, the Hollywood film market has entered the off-season. Of all the films released this week, the highest-grossing film is "Spaceman" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, which topped the weekend box office with 817 million US dollars. No. 2300 on the list, the film has accumulated a total of [-] million US dollars in box office in two weeks.

No. 2 on the list is "Terminal Velocity," starring Charlie Sheen, the sex-crazed monster, which got off to a poor start with a box office of $550 million in its first week.

No.3是《阿甘正传》，No.4是依然以400多万美元坚守在周末排行榜上的《生死时速》，No.5的电影票房仅有290万美元，No.6就是《肖申克的救赎》。

The two films starring Josh are on the North American box office list this week. The staying power of "Speed" is shameful, but the huge potential of "Shawshank Redemption" has shocked the entire North American film market.

"Josh Walter's Miraculous Reappearance, the new film's single box office box office is 7.2 US dollars! "

"Shawshank's magic, great potential for prison-themed movies"

"Two movies on the list, Shawshank is comparable to Forrest Gump? "

"Tom Cruise on Josh Walter: I'm blown away by his ability to pick movies"

Brad Pitt Confesses: Josh Walter Is Far Better Than Me

……

Josh never knew that Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt would also lower their noble heads.

In fact, this year, "Interview with the Vampire" starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt will set off a whirlwind of vampires throughout North America. As a result, Si has attracted a large number of girl fans, and Louis and Leicester have become the eternal perfect CPs in countless fan works.

When that was after November, before November, Hollywood belonged to Josh.

Although the box office created by Tom Hanks' "Forrest Gump" is even more astonishing, Hanks' appearance is not the type that many fans appreciate, and there is no such thing as the "National Enquirer" in the creation of public opinion. The newspapers cheered for him.

Josh is different.

Although Josh started out in literary films, his handsome and sunny appearance has attracted a large number of female fans for him. The Jack he played in "Speed" won the "All-American Girls" award because of his sunny and upright image. Favor, it can be said that if Josh hadn't moved to Carlos' house, the female fans who followed him every day could even flood half of Los Angeles.

"Entertainment Weekly" even published a report as a joke, the title is "Where's Josh?" The report is not so much tracking Josh's whereabouts, but complaining that fans can't find Josh all over the world. sad.

"Josh Walter must have fooled everyone with his great acting skills, he was a street bum, a little flower girl, and... maybe he jumped to Mars, in short, became Josh Walter's fans are the most tiring thing in the world, there is no one, guys, if you know his whereabouts, please let me know."

"Josh Walter? Who is that? I can't find this person in my world. I haven't read "Speed", nor "Schindler's List", and I haven't bought the magazine with his photo. I wrote 10 books to commemorate, maybe Josh Walter never existed, I was just dreaming."

"Where did Josh go? He is a real 'filmmaker' who doesn't exist in the real world, but only lives in the movie."

In fact, Josh has appeared very frequently in front of the camera this year, but he seldom attends other occasions outside of work. He doesn’t go to nightclubs, race cars, or pose on the street. His private life shows curiosity.

But Josh refuses to bring his private life under the spotlight.

He doesn't want his life to be disturbed, and he doesn't want Carlos' life to be affected in any way. As for the fans' grievances-compared with Carlos, those are nothing worth mentioning.

"Josh, congratulations!" On the morning when the box office results came out, Carlos woke Josh up with a good morning kiss. When Josh was sleepy, he kissed Josh's earlobe while conveying the news. Tell Josh.

His warm breath hit his face, Josh was a little itchy, but he couldn't help opening his eyes wide the moment he heard the news, and confirmed again and again: "Is it true?"

Carlos gave a soft "hmm".

In Josh's ears, this is a complete guarantee. He immediately woke up, turned over and jumped out of bed, and ran out excitedly with his slippers on. Carlos couldn't help but rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice: "The newspaper is here."

"Oh—oh, Carlos, why didn't you remind me earlier?"

A certain person ran so fast that he lost one of his slippers, he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, okay?Carlos sighed helplessly and pamperingly, bent down simply, and signaled Josh to stretch his feet. He gently put the slippers on Josh's feet again, and handed the newspaper to Josh.

This week's box office rankings are clearly displayed in front of Josh.

He first looked down from the top, and when he saw the fourth one, he saw the familiar "Speed". When he saw the sixth one, the familiar "Shawshank Redemption" made Josh grin his lips.

"The Shawshank Redemption" really succeeded.

This was far beyond Josh's expectations, and for him, the success of the film was far more than that.

It means that the history of the previous life has been rewritten, "The Shawshank Redemption" will be noticed by more film critics and audiences, and this movie will even achieve more success than the previous life.

This is exactly what Josh has been looking forward to.

If the box office is successful, it means that the film will be contacted and accepted by more audiences, and the word-of-mouth it has accumulated since then will continue to push forward until it explodes at the Oscars.

Josh didn't expect to win a statuette or anything with this movie, he just felt that an excellent movie deserved more recognition, as long as more people noticed it, it would surely shine.
