[US Entertainment] 1994

"Good morning, Brian!"

"Good morning, Josh!" Contrary to Josh's imagination, Bryan Singer is obviously a very easy person to get along with. He didn't notice the rejection of him in the other party's heart at all. On the contrary, the other party was terribly enthusiastic. The next morning after meeting for the first time, when they met in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel, the other party gave Josh a warm hug.

It wasn't until three days into the filming that Josh learned from the crew that Bryan Singer was gay.

Josh: "..."

He kind of understands why the other party always hugs him warmly every time he sees him, which makes him feel embarrassed-it's not like Josh has never encountered such a situation before, but since he gradually became famous in Hollywood, the unspoken rules Slowly away from him.

There is no doubt that Josh has become a member of the group that has the right to speak in Hollywood.

After knowing the truth, Josh quietly stayed away from Bryan Singer, and Bryan Singer seemed to be aware of it. A few days later, Bryan Singer brought his gay man to the set of "The Usual Suspects" , and did not shy away from the relationship between the two, generously showing their affection in the crew.

The plot of "The Usual Suspects" begins with a case in which a freighter was burned down by a fire, causing 27 deaths and 9100 million dollars to be missing. Through the game between the detective and the suspect, the story of the real murderer is discovered.

During the whole movie, Roger Gent played by Josh is just a special witness. The cunning and wit shown in the film.

The pathetic cropped head, the always hunched figure, the soft movements, and the green woolen vest knitted by his mother, this is Josh's appearance throughout the movie. He looks like a man in school A cowardly idiot who has been bullied all the time, even among the five suspects, he is the weakest and most inconspicuous one.

The first scene of the movie is a group play.

Gent played by Josh and other suspects played by Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro and others read out the line "Give me the key, bastard" in turn according to the police's request. The performance of individual reciting lines can accurately express their personalities. Todd Hockney is arrogant and has a bad temper, while Dean Keaton is extraordinarily refined. He is also the main suspect of the police.

Everyone was locked in a cell, Benicio Del Toro complained loudly in broken English, and the suspects exchanged their experiences about the case with each other, only "Mr. Slobber" Roger Gent remained silent throughout, and when others tried to communicate with him, he acted calm and dull, like a young man who couldn't react fast enough and was always at the bottom of the gang.

In fact, during this time, Gent has been observing everyone silently. After getting a definite answer, Gent shook the muscles on his face and showed a mysterious smile.

"Card!" Bryan Singer raised his horn and shouted at Josh, "Josh, maybe your emotions can be more restrained, you are a devil, that's right, but you don't have to let everyone all know."

Josh blinked and smiled slightly: "Okay, Mr. Director."

The fact is that he didn't think there was anything wrong with the performance just now. Roger Gent really showed a cowardly and harmless image at the beginning. He is a devil hidden in everyone, and playing the devil Josh has never lacked experience in this matter.

A scene was re-shot, Josh was still smiling, and he didn't feel impatient at all. This time, Bryan Singer finally didn't call out, but judging from Mr. Director's frowning brows and slightly tense face, he was very interested in Josh's shooting didn't seem to be very satisfactory.

What happened later really confirmed Josh's guess.

For the next more than a week, Josh's "Mr. Slobber" did not fully satisfy Bryan Singer. No matter how hard Josh completed his performance in the first second, Bryan Singer always I will bring up a little innocuous little problem, and the number of times, other co-actors and crew members will see that something is wrong.

"Because Mr. Singer is dissatisfied with Walter in the first place, and his ideal actor to play Gent is Kevin Spacey. Is this considered revenge?"

"Who knows? Maybe the director is just dissatisfied with Josh Walter's performance and thinks he's not that good. Besides, it's the director's right to let actors do it all over again."

"I think Josh Walter's acting is pretty good..."

"He's too tender."

"He is the Oscar's best supporting actor, and he has just won the award not long ago!"

"Forget it, I went out for supper last night. Many people participated. The director didn't invite Josh Walter at all. After he got drunk, he even loudly said that Josh Walter's performance was not what he wanted at all. He couldn't play it. Out of the old Roger Gent, his performance traces are too heavy, like a child in a choir, just follow the rhythm of others."

Josh stood at the door, listening to the discussion inside the door curiously.

Oh, he never knew that Bryan Singer's belly was so small, God knows, just the night before, that Mr. director boasted that he and Josh were the same kind of people, he admired Josh, maybe they can develop properly A relationship or something.

Of course, Josh refused without thinking.

Not to mention that the other party's appearance was much worse than that of Carlos, but Josh also found it difficult to accept the other party's style of wanting to touch the other party's ass soon after seeing a young boy.

But he still finds reality strange.

When he was filming a purely gay film like "Uninhibited Sky", he was not harassed. Gus Van Sant's research on homosexuality is in-depth, but he just showed this concern through the film, Later "Milk" and "Elephant" are both classics.At that time, Josh was just an unknown little transparent, and anyone who made unspoken rules about him only needed to move his fingers.

But no one is doing that.

Later, in "My Cousin Vinny", Joe Pesci had just won the Oscar for the male supporting role, and he was proud of the spring breeze, but he and Marisa Tomei took good care of Josh, and his love for the profession of actor also made Josh Very admirable.

Then there was the cooperation with Al Pacino and Steven Spielberg. Along the way, Josh gradually transformed from an unknown actor to an Oscar winner, and he also had a movie with a box office of nearly [-] million. commercial film.

At this moment, he was rejected by the director!

Josh couldn't understand at all, he even wanted to laugh a little.

It can be said that he is currently the biggest star of the crew of "The Usual Suspects". Although Bryan Singer is the director who has the absolute right to speak, he currently only has one "Media Storm" that has gained popularity in the director circle.

"If it were me, I would never do such a dizzy thing." During the call with Carlos, Josh did not hesitate to tell Carlos what happened to him in the crew.

He didn't think it was a complaint, he was just stating the facts.

If he and Carlos were not in a relationship, he would not have told Carlos this at all, but they were lovers, and Bryan Singer bullying him was tantamount to bullying Carlos.

"Anyway, I'm really disgusted, that idiot." Josh said angrily, "He's so ugly, I don't even want to look at him. I admit that he is a talented director, But you can imagine how many actors in Hollywood will suffer if he becomes a powerful director in the future."

Josh is Gay. He understands and sympathizes with the situation of gay actors in Hollywood. They hide their identities. Josh already has a statuette, and the movies he starred in are also doing well at the box office, but he still doesn't have the courage to reveal his homosexuality, and those actors who are not as famous as him probably don't even have the courage.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Carlos' voice was as gentle as ever, and Josh gave a soft "hmm" when he heard the words, "Actually, I don't have many roles, and the audition for this movie is not long. go home."

"If Bryan Singer goes too far, I can only say sorry to MGM, because I will definitely not participate in any promotional activities for this movie."

That's just Josh's assumption, the truth is, even if Bryan Singer wasn't so over the top, he refused to participate in any activities in this movie because he was really disgusted.

Josh didn't know what Carlos had done, but when he got to the set the next day, the look of Bryan Singer really made him want to laugh.

Among the group of directors, Bryan Singer's appearance is not the ugliest, especially he is not yet 30 years old this year, exuding the vigor and vigor of a young man, but I don't know if it is because he is too lewd or too narrow-minded The reason is that Josh always feels that his whole body is full of greasy feeling, and the way he squints at people is also squinting.

So many years later, when Bryan Singer was exposed to the scandal of sexual/aggression against minors, Josh had bravely come out at that time, so he naturally disclosed the fact that Bryan Singer tried to touch him.

On the original trajectory, the actor that Bryan Singer violated was unknown. At that time, Singer was the producer and director of the "X-Men" series, and he had deep connections and power in Hollywood. Even while expressing the idea that he would spend the rest of his life with a male partner, he had a child with a woman in the hope that the other party would be able to give birth to his own child.

So the young actor's accusation was only blocked by a fluffy "pure slander", and when Josh spoke, the whole Hollywood was boiling.

At that time, Josh was already the actor with the highest cumulative box office, the highest return ratio, and the largest number of statuettes in Hollywood. Although coming out publicly did affect his career, he had only one partner in his life, Carlos, and he had never been with any woman. Any improper relationship occurred, so Josh's coming out was accepted by the gradually rational audience.

His voice was enough to put an end to the Bryan Singer sexual/assault incident.
