[US Entertainment] 1994

"What would happen if I made my relationship with Carlos public now?"

"You will die." The agent gave the answer firmly, "Don't tell me you are going to do this now, I will definitely go crazy!"

Josh sighed: "Dear Arnold, I won't make you crazy, but now I'm facing a problem that must be solved..."

He held his chin, with a rare sad expression on his face: "Sometimes I really would rather be an out-and-out scumbag, not worrying or thinking about anything, and accepting other people's sacrifices with peace of mind."

"But you're not that kind of person." Arnold patted Josh on the shoulder lightly, "You can't do it."

Josh's waywardness occasionally makes him feel helpless, but in Hollywood, a circle where money and fame are everything, Josh is undoubtedly a star that countless agents flock to - outstanding acting skills, excellent box office, clean private life, only sexual orientation is his only flaw.

But Arnold felt that this was nothing at all.As long as Josh does not hesitate to disclose his relationship with Carlos, even if half of the Hollywood circle knows that he and Carlos are a pair of lovers, as long as the audience does not know, investors and film companies will not easily abandon him as a cash cow.

There are far more homosexuals in this circle than people imagine, and the living environment for homosexuals is also extremely difficult. Arnold believes that all this will only be temporary. The world is becoming more and more open, and Hollywood will follow the trend to make various changes, but it is still too early That's all.

"What are you going to do?" After listening to Josh's statement, Arnold was also silent, "As your agent and partner, of course I hope you can make choices that are beneficial to your career, but as your friend, I understand You. If a man can't give love, he won't give anything."

"Even if I choose to make my relationship with Carlos public?"

Arnold shrugged: "Then I probably have to find another star."

"You said 30 seconds ago that you would understand me." Josh pouted, "Don't worry, I won't do that. Even if I wanted to, Carlos would definitely not be happy. He paid far more than If he sees me giving up a dream I've been chasing for him, he won't be happy, I'm [-]% sure."

"So the purpose of your coming to me today is to show your affection?" The agent raised his brows high, "Since you have no intention of destroying your acting career, why did you come to tell me such a scary thing about coming out early in the morning?"

"I'm just getting an inoculation in advance. One of your stars may become a shooting star in the long history of Hollywood." Josh smiled slightly, "I set a goal for myself, if in the short term If I can do it, I can disclose the relationship between Carlos and me to everyone. At that time, it doesn’t matter even if I accept abuse. I don’t lack money, and my life is not extravagant. Even if there is no glory brought by stars, And I can go on to live a rich and happy life."

"But what about your ambition?" Arnold tapped his fingers on the back of the chair, "At the beginning, you told me that you would become the greatest actor in the world, if what you just said was really your decision, you There will never be a way to be the greatest actor in the world."

"Well." Josh showed a helpless smile, "If I want to be the greatest actor in the world, I have to be an emotional liar. I don't want to lie to Carlos, and I don't want him to charge alone. He's unfair."

Even though Carlos repeatedly explained, the "gossip" between him and Colin inevitably attracted a lot of attention.

In any case, compared to the endless scandals of Hollywood stars, the sweet interaction between the two elites satisfies the curiosity of the melon eaters.They also treat Carlos and Colin much more magnanimously than ordinary celebrity scandals - neither of them are celebrities, they just have some relationship with this circle. Compared with those stars who take drugs and go to nightclubs, Carlos and Colin is a typical representative of the elite.

Handsome, handsome, rich, talented, even if they are gay, in the eyes of ordinary audiences, this is just a maverick of the elite class.

Although celebrities are admired by many audiences, what they seem to be superior to rely on is nothing more than the box office and awards of the movies they participate in, especially the former determines a celebrity's status and salary, so in the eyes of the audience, celebrities also rely on them Movie ticket life, their preferences can make a star who has fallen to the bottom turn over, and it can also make the value of a big name plummet.

Therefore, Hollywood's so-called discrimination against homosexuality only represents the attitude of the vast majority of audiences.The audience cannot accept a gay man kissing a woman on the big screen like a normal man. In their view, that is a kind of deception, and it will make them feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

The most important thing is that when a star announces that he is gay, the audience will have a sense of disobedience when watching the movie he starred in.

"Isn't he gay? Can he kiss women?"

"Witchy pervert!"

"Get out of Hollywood! He deserves to be fucked by men in bed!"

Josh can imagine everything he might encounter after he revealed his homosexuality, and even because of his homosexuality, all his achievements in the career of an actor will disappear in an instant, even if he is better than others, He will only be the one being discriminated against.

He doesn't plan to make it public just yet.But he will do his best to win his first Oscar winner, so that all the films he has participated in can achieve excellent box office results, so that even if one day he discloses his sexuality, his results will not was obliterated.

With the capacity of Josh's brain, he certainly couldn't think of such a far-reaching question, but Carlos was not at home last night, Josh was about to stuff his clothes into the washing machine, just picked up his shirt, Carlos' shirt pocket Just fell out two hard things with a crisp sound.

These are two diamond rings for men.

There are no diamonds, just two simple rings, with J&C written on the inside of the rings, which are the initials of the two people's names.I just don't know when Carlos bought the ring, but the moment the ring rolled to the ground, Josh inevitably fell into deep thought.

No matter when the ring was bought, at least Carlos had such thoughts.Josh also thought that the two would get married one day, but he had never stepped into a jewelry store, let alone the courage to buy two rings.

Josh thinks dreams are precious, but so is love.

What Carlos has done for him has made him feel ashamed, put him in Carlos' position, he can't even do one-tenth of the other party, even the moment he touches the two rings, he is very nervous For example, Josh couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

Carlos built a high wall and locked him inside.Outside is a dark jungle full of dangers.

Josh didn't know how to repay the other party. He knew very well that with Carlos' character, the other party didn't need his return at all.

All the other party wants is his love.

How could Josh be stingy with giving?

"I understand what you think." Arnold sighed softly. "If this is really your idea, I will support you. After all, I have earned enough money from you to spend my whole life."

"Thank you, Arnold."

"Stars and agents work differently." Arnold smiled slightly, "Even if you plan to quit Hollywood, I can still attract more stars and make more money by virtue of the fame I have accumulated on you. But Josh , Things may not be as difficult as you imagined, and this is not the 70s and [-]s. Although I don't know what the future will look like, I believe that the future will definitely get better and better."

"Sexual orientation is just a matter of choice, there is no distinction between high and low."

Arnold is not an autocratic agent, he respects the ideas of stars, and he has an enlightened brain.

From the very beginning of their cooperation, Arnold fully respected Josh's ideas-maybe this is the lesson he learned from Tom Cruise. People are already experienced in this line of work.

"Actually, I don't support you making it public now, but I don't object to you making it public in the future, as long as it's your choice and you don't regret it." Arnold smiled slightly, "Compared to many people, you are already very lucky , at least Carlos has a deep voice in this industry. If it’s not for making money, you can make some movies for your own entertainment in the future. Even if Hollywood is full of narrow criticism and accusations, the gate of Europe will be willing to help you open."

"Yeah!" Josh nodded vigorously, "So from now on I will work hard to become an outstanding actor and get all the awards I can get, even if I will suffer a lot of criticism and accusations for making it public in the future , but at least in the career of an actor, I am outstanding, and I am invincible.”

"The ashamed ones will be those people. Their preaching of fairness and justice will fail in the face of sexuality."

"It's embarrassing to think about it." Josh smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes.

Arnold asked him in a low voice: "Have you really made up your mind?"

Josh nodded: "As you said, the ending may not be as bad as I thought."

In fact, Josh’s mood is very relaxed now.He thought that he would be uneasy, and that this decision would be very difficult, but the moment she made the decision, she felt very relaxed, as if a mountain of depression was moving away from his head, and he flew from summer to autumn all at once , he can't wait to know how Carlos feels!

Will you be moved to tears?

It doesn't matter even if he doesn't, as a caring lover, even if Carlos won't hold him and cry, he will let him cry on the bed. !
