[US Entertainment] 1994

"If I don't have hallucinations, the "National Enquirer" is... caring about me?" Josh raised his high eyebrows, and slowly moved his eyes away from the newspaper, "For so long, there has been only this A newspaper genuinely cares about me, even more than my fans."

"You are really a pair of little friends who love each other." Arnold suppressed a smile, "I didn't expect that it was the "National Enquirer" who saved you from the fire and water at that time."

"Probably because I'm a heartthrob!" Josh shook his shoulders lightly, "It loves me so much that it can't help itself."

"...That's right." Arnold shrugged, "Although this really disgusts me."

The turbulent doubts from the outside world did not affect Josh's mood. He had a good time in the "Independence Day" crew. Roland Emmerich is not a selfish director like Bryan Singer. His acting skills are not too demanding, which is a common problem of commercial directors, but his pursuit of picture effects can be called the pinnacle of Hollywood directors, which means that most of the films he directed have expensive expenses.

Yet 1500th Century Fox was willing to pay a lot of money, including Josh's $[-] million salary.

On the one hand, the explosion of "Speed" made [-]th Century Fox rejoice, and naturally invested a lot of faith in the movie where Josh played the main role. On the other hand, Emmerich's pursuit of special effects and scenes is not It made Twentieth Century Fox feel repulsed. The company thought of "Jurassic Park" not long ago. Without the investment in special effects, "Jurassic Park" would not be able to become the highest-grossing commercial film in film history.

"A bunch of worthless dinosaurs can make $6 million, why can't great special effects make more?"

All in all, 1th Century Fox is 4000 percent enthusiastic about "Independence Day," even surpassing James Cameron's new "Titanic," which cost $[-] million to shoot. , Fox can only invite Paramount to participate in the filming of the film, and later, this decision made Fox regret it, and the two companies even went to court for the distribution of the box office.

This even became the most talked-about story in Hollywood in the year "Titanic" was released-the gap in the shooting cost was only 6000 million US dollars, but [-]th Century Fox lost hundreds of millions of dollars because of it, which was even enough for them to shoot Quite a few Titanic movies.

Of course, stories like this have been happening in Hollywood. A movie that is expected to be a big hit may make the movie company go bankrupt, but a movie without a big hit can make a lot of money. Some people joked that the box office trend of Hollywood is often Even more unpredictable than the stock market.

…………

Although there is no lack of voices from the outside world mocking [-]th Century Fox's desperate move, the atmosphere of the "Independence Day" crew is very cheerful.After a day of filming, Will Smith started his rap performance amidst the shouts of the entire crew in the event room upstairs in the hotel. In fact, Josh didn’t understand what the other party sang at all. Smith’s speech speed Too fast, and he can only hear part of the content.

After Will Smith finished singing, Josh realized that everyone's eyes were on him.

"You want me to sing?" After asking repeatedly and getting an affirmative answer, Josh stroked his hair, "Are you sure, you won't regret it?"

"Hey, Josh, be a man!" Jeff Goldblum hooked his neck, "Be brave and show yourself!"

Josh nodded: "Well, since this is your wish, I can fulfill it..."

Josh raised the microphone and sang the most classic song "Hotel California" by the Eagles. The first line "on the dark and desolate road" seemed to be a bit close to the original song. A big question mark popped up here:

"What the hell is this singing about?"

"Is it 'Hotel California'? The lyrics do sound the same, but the tune..."

"Josh created a whole new 'Hotel California'."

What's even more frightening is that Josh's mistakes are far more than just being out of tune. That voice, which is full of charm on the big screen and can always be infinitely close to the character's image, has turned into everyone's nightmare at this moment, as if there is a stuck in his throat. A long fishbone, like a pig howling in pain before being slaughtered...

Everyone involuntarily covered their ears.

With his catfish-like mouth open, Jeff Goldblum took a hard breath for a moment, and then slowly stretched out his hand to cover his tortured ears.

God!Josh's singing voice and his face are two extremes. God knows how he sang an extremely normal song so horribly. Even a weird guy like him can't accept Josh's interpretation.

A staff member has already raised the camera and quietly took pictures of Josh singing.Generally speaking, the contracted staff would not disclose the privacy of the crew, but the only singer in Hollywood who sang uglier than Josh was... no, there was no one who sang uglier than Josh.

"We can use it as an easter egg in the movie, if the audience responds enthusiastically..." the cinematographer proposed to Roland Emmerich.

Roland Emmerich was silent for a while: "Won't this really scare away the audience?"

"..." So both of them fell silent.

In the 90s, there were very few publicity methods to expose the embarrassment of actors, especially Josh’s voice was very likely to scare away the audience. Even after obtaining Josh’s consent, Roland Emmerich still did not show Josh’s A video is put into the easter egg of the movie.

It wasn't until many years later, when "Independence Day" was planning to prepare for the second part, that Roland Emmerich released Josh's singing video.

On YouTube, this video has reached 50 billion hits, breaking YouTube's all-time video playback record.Even though Josh had retired from the film industry at that time, as the youngest Oscar winner in Oscar history and the first Oscar winner who chose to come out of the closet, Josh's every move still attracted the attention of many people.

After all, although Josh suffered countless abuses for coming out of the closet at that time, most of the scoldings came at the beginning of the new century. More than ten years later, many cities in the United States have passed gay marriage laws, and Josh's identity has also changed from "disgusting dead gay" to A fighter for gay rights.

But in fact, Josh has never cheered for homosexuality. He just chose to come out at the peak of his career and did something that most Hollywood stars would not dare to do.

And the audience who watched this video did not expect that the famous Josh Walter's singing is so ugly!

Jeff Goldblum gently pushed Will Smith's arm: "Why isn't it over yet?"

Smith gave him a blank look: "Who was the loudest just now?"

Jeff Goldblum touched his nose: "It's me, but don't you think this...is it time for the singing to stop? Will, do what you want, stop Josh quickly."

"I think it's useless." Will Smith laughed. "Remember what Josh asked us over and over again before singing? He was giving us a chance to go back, but we didn't do that."

The long torture lasted for 3 minutes, but in the eyes of the cast and crew of "Independence Day", this process seemed as long as half a century.

They wiped the cold sweat from their brows at the same time, God, Josh will definitely refuse to sing at any time in the future!
