[US Entertainment] 1994

The beauty of the aurora is unforgettable for a lifetime. Josh is wrapped in thick down, holding Carlos' hand, and witnessing the miracle of nature together.

They went skiing in Finland again. Josh's technique was not very good. When he fell on the snow, Carlos would grab Josh's hand. The cunning Josh would not just let himself lie on the snow In the field, he insisted on pulling Carlos down to be with him.

In May, the two went to Italy together again. Under the romantic and gentle sunlight, Josh’s brain became hot, and he learned from the little brother on the street who half-kneeled and sent flowers to Carlos, and the people on the street whistled to them the most enthusiastic encourage.Carlos' handsome face was stained red at that moment. Although he took the flowers, he squeezed a bruise on Josh's waist in a corner where no one was paying attention.

In the blink of an eye, the two-month journey was over.

But for Josh and Carlos, travel is not essential, it's just a happy memory in their love life.

Except when they are busy with each other, they stay together most of the time, unlike couples in love who have to be lingering for a long time, but when Josh wants to drink water, Carlos will naturally hand him a water glass, and Josh watches a movie Carlos was usually dealing with work, but if he was interested in that movie, he would grab a pillow and sit quietly next to Josh to watch it.

From a certain point of view, Josh and Carlos have entered the state of an old couple.

This is also very good, Josh is very satisfied with his life now.

After returning to Los Angeles, Mr. Agent has been counting down the days when Josh will return, trying his best to arrange a bunch of work for him.

Endorsements, commercial activities, actors' union activities, public welfare activities... If "Independence Day" is not about to be released in major theaters in North America, dear Arnold will definitely not let go of any opportunity to make money.

Josh hummed: "Obviously I'm your boss, but now I'm your coolie! Hmph! You should pay me!"

"Don't think I didn't see you drooling at that pile of zeros." Mr. Manager glanced at Josh disdainfully, "If you keep being so lazy, one day you will starve to death on the street! "

Josh stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

In mid-May, Josh participated in a gathering of Hollywood filmmakers led by the CAA agency. During the period, at least two figures of agents extended invitations to Josh, especially the agents from CAA. With the biggest concession, Josh can even get a 5% commission of all his income.

These benefits are indeed exciting, but Josh knows very well that there is no free lunch in the world.

Agents are considered behind-the-scenes workers in Hollywood, but their energy is not inferior to any star.They can make a star, or they can destroy a star, especially those greedy agents. In order to make money, they can induce their artists to shoot some worthless high-paying movies, and they will also treat stars as goods. A bargaining chip for your own benefit.

Although with Josh's current status, he can completely become the leader in the relationship between the star and the agent, but Josh prefers the feeling of getting along with Arnold as friends. He respects Arnold, and Arnold will give him in due course. suggestion.

An agent who is too strong will break out a war with the star, while an agent who is weak will fully agree with the star's ideas. Even if a star makes a wrong decision, the agent will remain indifferent.

"I managed to raise a fat pig, but it became the meat that many people want to eat." Arnold gritted his teeth and persisted under Josh's murderous gaze, "Look at this fat and oily face ..."

Josh slapped the manager's arm: "If you miss, just say so, I will make your death easier."

"□□?"

"Fuck off!"

"Independence Day" is scheduled to be released on July 7, which is the most intense period of competition for movies released in the summer.

On June 6, "The Evaporation Order" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was released in 21 theaters in North America. On the same day, "The Hunchback" starring Demi Moore was released, and the number of theaters reached an astonishing 2410. .

On June 6, the comedy film "Professor Fat" starring Eddie Murphy and "Striptease" starring Demi Moore were released. Take a share.

On July 7, "Independence Day" was released. The release date of "Independence Day" was not scheduled on the weekend, but on a Wednesday, which was considered to avoid the most intense competitive atmosphere on the weekend. Of course, this does not mean that the 3th century Fox has no plans to compete for the summer slot, this is just a special arrangement.

On July 7, Miracles of the Third Kind, starring John Travolta, Robert Duvall and Forest Whitaker, hits…

In comparison, "Independence Day" has the most number of theaters released in June and July this year, with more than 6. This undoubtedly reveals the ambitions of 7th Century Fox. Of course, this It is also understandable-the two leading actors, Josh and Will Smith, are both frequent visitors to the Hollywood box office list. Josh once again won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor with a miraculous gesture this year, becoming the focus of the entire Hollywood focus.

The most important thing is that, except for "The Usual Suspects", the final box office of every movie starring Josh is typical of small and big.Even though "The Usual Suspects" failed disastrously at the box office due to the director's alleged sexual harassment, the film won Josh an Oscar for supporting actor, and the film's sales in the disc market were enough to envy many film companies.

In many cases, the way movies make money is not just box office.

Coincidentally, almost every movie Josh starred in before has been highly sought after in the disc market.Such as "Scent of a Woman", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Schindler's List" are all types that are not enough to watch once in the cinema, and you need to buy a DVD to enjoy it at home slowly.

Gay films such as "Uninhibited Skies" have always been bestsellers on the DVD market.

Even a commercial film like "Speed" has abandoned many of the exhausting factors of blockbusters, and the adrenaline-pumping excitement throughout the whole process attracts audiences to buy the DVD home while walking into the movie theater.

Even if it's superstitious, the film company believes that Josh will bring them good luck.

The premiere of "Independence Day" was on the same day as the release day. After walking the red carpet, Josh and the rest of the crew accepted a short interview, and then waited for the movie to be released in the screening hall.

The story of "Independence Day" is not exquisite, but the picture is full of excitement. When sitting in the movie theater and watching the president and ordinary people save the world together, everyone's chest can't help but be full of excitement.

In the face of disasters, some people choose to escape, some people choose to cry, but many people choose to stand together to face the difficulties.

"What do you think of this movie?"

"I can't say, but I don't think my ticket was wasted, what do you think?"

"Josh Walter and Will Smith went out together, I think it's worth it."

Ordinary audiences paid more attention to the actors and the exciting and exciting scenes of the movie, and the film critics did not rest. Everyone held a notebook and a pen in their hands and wrote the film review seriously.

From a professional perspective, the plot of "Independence Day" is actually a bit old-fashioned. What is surprising is that although the movie is a sci-fi blockbuster, it has a disastrous visual effect, especially the scene where the alien spacecraft is bombed. For a moment, fiery red clouds rose from the sky. The grand scenes and exciting pictures were matched with the bravery, perseverance and tenderness of ordinary people. Everything seemed to happen around me.

"I've never seen a president like this, young, handsome and brave."

"Dude, wake up, this is a movie. Don't say you are young and brave, there are not many handsome presidents in the real world."

"Actually, I always thought Bill Clinton was pretty handsome, but compared to Josh, emmm..."

"Will Smith is also handsome, but Josh is more handsome, especially the moment he flies the plane, wow, fighter pilot, what a cool character!"

Jeremy Lynn is a film critic for a comprehensive magazine. By the end of the film screening, the film review in his hands has basically taken shape.

"An old-fashioned plot, an actor's performance beyond the standard and explosive visual effects. Only evaluate "Independence Day" from the perspective of evaluating commercial films. There is no doubt that this is a qualified popcorn movie. Fresh and exciting The special effects, shocking scenes, and the moment when the alien spaceship strikes are definitely not a joke, but will give people the illusion that the end is coming."

"Roland Emmerich is undoubtedly a master of visual impact. There has never been any movie that gives people the feeling of real catastrophe like "Independence Day". Even if it is just a science fiction film, the audience will have A strong illusion of watching a disaster movie. However, this should be true. Since the consciousness of the universe, human beings have been imagining the scene of alien invasion. Would Earth's aggression be benevolent? Apparently not."

Most of the other critics also gave the film "explosive, bombastic, shocking, thrilling" ratings.

Of course, the evaluation of commercial films cannot be all positive, and there are also many negative voices.

"Village Voice" magazine thought the film was long and boring, "full of uninteresting fantasies and inappropriate enthusiasm, but it would make people feel awkward."

The President Thomas portrayed by Josh was called "a character who could not even dream of appearing" by them.

"It's more of a war propaganda film than a movie, or a recruiting ad, or the way that gentleman in the White House glorifies himself, and it's really boring."
