[US Entertainment] 1994

"Damn Josh Walter! Fxxk!" In the empty lounge, Brad Pitt yelled obscenities, and he swept the pillows on the sofa to the floor, and then the coffee cups, CDs and... soon The contract with Versace that was just signed before.

"Calm down, Brad, calm down!" His manager whispered to him, and when he looked up, he saw Brad's bloodshot eyes.

The manager fell silent for a moment.

Brad Pitt got angry, and Brad Pitt sat down on the sofa, pressing his fingers between his eyebrows: "I have become a joke in Hollywood, maybe I shouldn't have thought about dealing with Josh Walter in the first place, many people It is said that we are destined opponents, but I think he is my natural enemy."

"Brad, I made a wrong decision this time..." the agent whispered.

Brad Pitt waved his hand feebly: "I just realize reality more clearly."

Pete's place is full of gloom, but Josh's whole body is full of cheerful emotions.Although he did not achieve his goal of winning the best actor statuette, the two male supporting statuettes also made him a smooth walk in the forefront of his peers.

Two Oscars for Best Supporting Actor, one Golden Globe Best Actor, one Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor... In the words of the "National Enquirer", "Although Josh Walter's character is despicable, his personality is bad, and his acting skills are terrible... (here omitted 500 words), but with two statuettes that he did not know how to cheat, Walter is undoubtedly one of the hottest male stars in Hollywood at present, and only a fool would have the illusion that his career is declining."

The farce of his endorsement with Versace also slowly came to an end.

As a result, Zegna, a men’s luxury brand that is not popular among young people in North America, has been ranked No.1 in the men’s luxury sales list for several consecutive months during Josh’s endorsement period. The fans attracted by the blanket have empathized with Zegna, and this ancient brand has been revitalized in North America.

"Vogue" said Zegna made a "correct and wise decision."

"Vogue" magazine arranged for Josh to wear a Zegna suit on the cover in April. The magazine sold extremely well and successfully broke the magazine's sales record since 4.

"Brad Pitt fired his agent." When Arnold passed the news to Josh, Josh just gave a light "Oh" and didn't say much.

"His agent has too many ideas and is too ambitious, but Pete is essentially an indecisive person, so he is easily manipulated by!" Arnold smiled slightly, "Pete probably also realized that this is wrong."

Josh smiled lightly: "Some people like to use this method to cover up their purpose. Pete's agent gave advice, and he followed it without any objection, because he originally thought so in his heart, but he I am ashamed to open my mouth so as not to tarnish my pure heart. He is like a feudal nobleman. In order to flaunt his kindness, he will never kill slaves himself, but as long as he shows his disgust for a slave, his His subordinates will do everything without his orders."

"In this matter, I don't think Pete is innocent at all. If he was innocent, he would not have said that at the Golden Globes. I just responded with fire."

"That's right."

In short, compared to the glorious scene after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Pitt's life is really not easy recently.

The media laughed at him. He was obviously inferior to Josh, but he tried every means to compete with Josh, and was beaten in the face again and again in the end.A slightly kinder reporter advised him to hone his skills. If he impresses the Oscar judges with his performance in "12 Monkeys", the judges will never give this trophy to Josh.

After all, no matter how you look at it, before the awards were announced, Josh's disadvantage was very obvious.

First of all, the public relations strength of "The Usual Suspects" cannot be compared with that of "12 Monkeys". Secondly, Josh just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor the year before. The judges will not give him this trophy, and he is still too young, winning once is already the judges' preference, and winning twice, the hope is really slim.

However, this time, the trophy still belonged to Josh.His award just proves the importance of acting skills to an actor.

It is very simple for Pete to get rid of the current embarrassing situation - hone his acting skills, and don't focus on competing for endorsements and bragging in public relations.He could still have a bright future as a handsome young actor.

Some media even called on Pete to learn from Josh.

In fact, Josh's route is different from some of the current popular actors. He didn't start out with commercial films, and he doesn't have a strong backstage and public relations force. The Oscar and Golden Globe judges have established their status with one trophy after another.

"If I were Pete, I'd be pissed off when I heard that." Josh closed the newspaper and gloated.

"But there's nothing wrong with the media's advice. Pete did a good job in 12 Monkeys, otherwise he wouldn't have been nominated for an Oscar, but obviously he's not ready enough. If he can reach your level, or If he is at the same level as you, the judges will definitely award him the trophy without hesitation."

"Doesn't that mean he's going to shit on my head twice?" Josh rolled his eyes, "You want to see that happen?"

"I was just making an analogy." Arnold raised his hand to declare a truce, "But Josh, be honest, do you think I'm wrong?"

"Assume that there is no right or wrong, because it has not been realized at all." Josh shrugged, "The biggest mistake Pete made was against me, what a kind person I am, and in this circle, I am the least aggressive Sexual type of person, I don't know why he always bites me so hard."

"...you forget the misery of the reporters of the National Enquirer..."

Before Arnold could finish his sentence, Josh explained on his own: "Maybe it's because I'm more handsome, maybe it's because his male self-esteem is much shorter than mine..."

Arnold: "..."

This is the problem of being Josh's manager. Many times, he can't respond to the other party's words at all, because the other party is too narcissistic, too shameless, and too speechless.

After the Oscars ended, Josh's life was once again on track.

He put the statuette trophy in the display cabinet and touched it lightly before going out every day, and his whole body seemed to have endless strength.

The two supporting actors have already been obtained, will the best actor be far behind?

Josh believed it would not.

The weather is getting hotter. Josh has two new movies released this year. "Independence Day" is set to be released in the summer, which is one of 20th Century Fox's key projects this year. "Sex Book Tycoon" will be released in the off-season in October. You can warm up for awards season in advance.

Josh's goal is to get at least one Oscar winner nomination, although that is next year.

Last year, he made two films. This year, Josh’s plan is to make at least one or two films. Therefore, in addition to participating in daily activities, Josh will always take some time to carefully screen the script of the new film.

It is a pity that in the past two years, many outstanding movie scripts have male stars over the age of 50. The only movies that can give actors of Josh's age to star in are commercial blockbusters, youth idol movies and romance movies.

However, it can be seen from this year's Oscar nomination list for best actor that middle-aged and even elderly actors are still the most powerful force in Hollywood.

The script of "As Good as It Gets" is indeed excellent, and even Josh couldn't help but feel moved after reading it, but the male and female protagonists of this movie are Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. The performance won the Oscar winner and queen of the year.However, no matter how good this movie is, it is not something Josh can handle. No matter what, he can't play an old man with a weird personality and fall in love with 34-year-old Helen Hunt.

He played a role with a wide age range like Andy, but in any case, Andy's story line at least started when he was young, and the actor in "As Good as It Gets" was an old man from the beginning.

Josh also loved Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's "Good Will Hunting," but the film was the brainchild of two young men who couldn't have given the script to someone else to star in.

In "Preacher", the hero is an old man.

In "The Beekeeper", the hero is a veteran of the Vietnam War.

In "Wag the Dog", the leading actor is a Hollywood producer, who is also very old. Later, the film chose Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman.

After choosing for a long time, only two movies "LA Confidential" and "Boogie Nights" match Josh's age, but the former is very similar to "The Usual Suspects", and the latter is similar to "Sex Book Tycoon". After much deliberation, he declined.

In fact, more and more scripts came to Josh after getting another statuette, but these so-called high-investment and high-return movies did not arouse Josh's interest at all.

He felt very helpless, but the status quo is like this, and Josh can't think of any way to change his current state. For actors, good scripts are hard to come by. After all, looking at the 90s to the first 20 years of the new century , The most commendable year in Hollywood is only 1994.

Not long after, Arnold brought in a script that made him very intrigued.

"Truman".

Although this film did not achieve outstanding results at the Oscars, its talent-like creativity and jaw-dropping ending have influenced countless works of later generations.The screenwriter of the film, Andrew Nickell, is extremely good at writing sci-fi and thriller films. The script is still being produced, but it has already attracted the attention of many film companies.
