[US Entertainment] 1994

At the beginning of the "Independence Day" script, Josh's President Thomas was questioned because of his youth. Thomas was full of confidence and didn't care, but at this moment, he received a shocking news.

For Josh, the role of Thomas is not difficult to control, but compared to his previous experience, he rarely plays such a distinguished role as the president, which does not seem to be in line with the preferences of American audiences.It can even be said that Hollywood has always favored civilian heroes.

The reason why the media and film critics are not optimistic about Josh is because the roles he played in the past are very different from Thomas. They approve of Josh's idea of ​​trying to further develop in the field of commercial films, but they don't think "Independence Day" is a suitable film. movie of.

"Will you be afraid?" Carlos raised a faint smile on his lips. Although he couldn't see Josh's face, he could imagine the unyielding expression on his lover's face and the raised head.

"What do you think?" Josh's voice was full of confidence, "In my life motto, I have never been afraid of this word. For me, slapping the face is simply the most interesting thing in the world!"

"3 minutes of silence for your opponent." Carlos raised his eyebrows, "I have always had full confidence in you."

"Thank you." Josh smiled slightly, "You probably don't have the courage or confidence in me."

Carlos: "...Of course."

"Did you miss me for such a long time?" Josh asked suddenly in the middle of the chat.

"What do you think?" Carlos' answer was straightforward, "But even if I tell you, I miss you very much, you can't fly to me right away..."

"Carlos..."

"But it's okay." Carlos' tone suddenly relaxed, "If you don't want to find me, I can find you immediately."

"You really make me feel sorry...and even ashamed." Josh sighed lowly, "Dear Carlos, I really hope that I can achieve my goal in the next second, so that I can always be with you .”

"Josh—" Carlos smiled slightly, "Has anyone ever told you that you really can't talk about love?"

"No one." Josh shook his head vigorously, "Of course not, you are my first boyfriend."

"I love you."

"I love you too, honey, good night."

The filming continued during the day. Although the filming process was a bit busy, for Josh, the film was not a big challenge, even because Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum played in the film. It also occupies a large proportion, and Josh's pressure is not even as great as when he was filming "Speed".

Roland Emmerich will talk about his dissatisfaction with Will Smith, and will also point out some detailed mistakes made by Jeff Goldblum during the filming process, but he never reminds Josh.

Because in his opinion, Josh's performance was flawless.

The time in the crew flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another year's awards season is approaching.But this year, Josh thinks he has nothing to do with the awards season, and the only movie he released is "The Usual Suspects".However, because of Bryan Singer and his scandal, Josh never expected to rely on this movie to win any awards.The most important thing is that this summer's file has already proved the bad box office of this movie. Neither the producer nor the crew may have any energy to push this movie that everyone has been clamoring for to the major awards ceremonies.

Even with a sane eye, "The Usual Suspects" is actually an excellent movie, and Josh's Roger Gent is a breakthrough compared to his previous roles.

In fact, although Josh's experience has won the sympathy of public opinion, the producers of "The Usual Suspects" are undoubtedly the group of people who hate him the most. There is no doubt that Josh destroyed the movie himself, and therefore, with Arnold said, "Even if they manage Bryan Singer to win the best director award, it is impossible for you to win a best supporting actor!"

With this in mind, during the filming of "Independence Day", Josh didn't put any energy into this year's awards season at all, so the moment he received the news from Mr. Manager, he was completely stunned: "Why? Possibly? Are you kidding me? It's not April Fool's Day!"

"I also think this incident is amazing, but in fact, this is the truth." The agent spread his hands helplessly, "I thought everything was under my control, and I also thought that "The Usual Suspect" would not sign up for any more... award, but in fact I was wrong, you were nominated for Best Supporting Actor in several Film Critics Associations, and you know, the Film Critics Association's style is very capricious, and if nothing else, you have at least A few more trophies."

"Let me calm down." Josh frowned, "Didn't the crew communicate with you beforehand?"

"No, so I'm also wondering what they want to do? But don't worry, I've already contacted them." Arnold smiled slightly, "If my predictions are good, the producer may hope to sell the DVD In order to make up for the regret caused by the box office, movies like "The Usual Suspect" generally perform very well in the DVD market. If you deliberately erase the factor of Bryan Singer and use you as a selling point, "The Usual Suspect" may be able to win Nice earnings."

"Because "The Shawshank Redemption" is a smash hit!" The agent said excitedly, "The box office of "Shawshank" is already very good compared to the box office of movies of the same type, but its performance in the DVD market still shocked a lot of people. Nobody thought it would sell that well, but maybe that's the kind of movie that's not really a movie to watch once on the big screen, but a DVD to watch over and over again."

"The Usual Suspects should be in this category. In fact, if it sold half as much on DVD as The Shawshank Redemption, the producers would have recouped all of their costs and made extra money. Audiences criticized it Discriminate against it because of Bryan Singer, but it's your movie, and it's equally as good, everyone has to admit."

"So you don't object?" Josh smiled and looked at Mr. Manager.

"If they showed any intention of saving Bryan Singer, I would not hesitate to object. But now that they are willing to do awards and public relations, and get you a brand new supporting actor, I have no reason to object." Arnold explained.

"Whatever they are, I think the same as you, Bryan Singer is a piece of shit, and so are the producers who co-operate with Bryan Singer to bully me, but they're not as disgusting as Singer, so I don't support nor be opposed to."

"The right decision." Arnold patted Josh on the shoulder, "If the DVD sales are good, they will give you a good share."

Shortly after Arnold hung up the phone, Josh suddenly received a call.

"A brand new war movie, working with Tom Hanks?" Josh wondered, "Mr. Spielberg, so you are a fan of war movies?"

"You could say that, but what attracted me to this movie was the script," laughed Steven Spielberg. "It's called Saving Private Ryan, and it's about D-Day." If you are interested in the following stories, you can contact me."

"I have no reason to refuse your invitation."

"No, no, Josh, you should realize that you are not the main character in this movie. I am asking you to fulfill my wish, because you are the one who can play Ryan the most vividly, and no one will It’s a selfish desire between Tom and me to finish better than you. After Robert told me the story of the script, I decided to shoot it, and then I invited Tom. After the two of us discussed it seriously, I feel The tacit cooperation between you and Tom can create a completely different spark, which is also his wish."

"Now I can't find a reason to refuse!" Josh smiled, "If I refuse Steven Spielberg's invitation, all Hollywood will laugh at me as a fool."

"Thank you, Josh."

"I'm also looking forward to working with Tom. Mr. Spielberg, you can tell Tom in advance that his opponent is coming!"

"no problem."
