[US Entertainment] 1994

"Mr. Sweetheart" is a warm-hearted drama written and directed by Cameron Crowe. The film contains idealistic inspiration and is deeply in line with the mainstream values ​​of Hollywood and even the entire United States. At present, this type of Movies can often be small and big, and they can also be recognized by mainstream film critics.

"Forrest Gump", which made Tom Hanks famous and rich before, is an example.

Cameron Crowe is a screenwriter-turned-director with solid writing skills and an objective perspective to evaluate, "Mr. Sweetheart" is indeed an excellent movie, otherwise it would not have won the praise of both Josh and Tom Cruise. recognized.

When the reporter came to interview, Josh admitted the incident very simply: "It is true that there is such a incident."

"So, you are at a disadvantage in the competition with Tom, and the producer finally chose Tom and abandoned you, can I understand that?" The reporter widened his eyes and said enthusiastically.

Josh returned him a bright smile: "What do you think?"

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the reporter's face: "Josh, maybe you can be more frank..."

"Okay. But I think this is a rather boring question. Regardless of whether the star of "Mr. Sweetheart" is me or Tom, this is a matter between me and Tom. It should have nothing to do with other people, right?" Josh shrugged Shrugged, "I admit that I have been exposed to the script of "Mr. Sweetheart", but I didn't participate in it for various reasons. It's not as complicated as you think."

"Can you disclose more details?"

"No more details." Josh smiled slightly, "Go to Tom, I won't reveal more information."

Tom's response was very similar to Josh's. He also believed that "Mr. Sweetheart" was an ordinary movie, and no matter whether he or Josh starred in it, there was no need to pay too much attention.

"Josh and I are ordinary friends and competitors, but most actors in Hollywood are competitors of each other. There is no need to exaggerate the relationship between me and Josh."

Tom also congratulated Josh on "Independence Day"'s high box office.

The reporters who were expecting more disturbances could only leave disappointed-they thought Josh would treat Tom Cruise like Brad Pitt!They all prepared pens and cameras, and were waiting for Josh to speak harshly in front of the microphone, but Josh didn't know whether it was because he was in a good mood recently or for some other reason, but he was not fooled at all!

Tom Cruise's interviews are also boring and boring, but this is his usual style. In front of the audience, Tom has always paid attention to maintaining his own image. Although people around him occasionally feel that he is paranoid and irritable, in the eyes of the audience, Cruise is always a handsome, loyal and kind-hearted young man.

"Sure enough, it's Josh Walter who is bullying. We can see how hypocritical Walter is from the very different attitude towards Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise! Pete just thanked Brad Pitt at the Golden Globes. As for him, he encountered his ruthless ridicule and satire. And Tom Cruise—don’t look at what Walter said now, he did lose in the competition with Tom, but considering Tom’s status and Even if Josh is angry, he can only swallow his anger in his stomach..."

"What an extremely pitiful guy. Thinking of Pete, I can't help but think of the even more miserable Richard Gere. Josh's tone of mocking Gere is much worse than that of Pete. Now that I think about it, I can understand it——Richard Gere Keir hasn't produced any masterpieces since "Pretty Woman", and his value has dropped sharply, so it's only natural that he was laughed at by Walter, after all, Walter is the kind of bullying guy."

Josh's response to this was - "Mr. Davis, be careful with your hair."

He had to emphasize again in the media: "I have never ridiculed Mr. Brad Pitt. If you insist on thinking that sentence is a mockery-gentlemen, please remember that the inventor of that sentence It's Mr. Brad Pitt, I'm just copying it. He did it to me first!"

"As for Mr. Richard Gere, I don't intend to make fun of him. I'm just telling an objective fact. He always evaluates the movies I star in in the tone of Oscar judges, insisting that I can't win Oscars or other important awards. , but now I already have an Oscar, which shows that at least most of the judges have a different vision from Mr. Richard Gere."

"In addition, I am still a young actor in my 20s. Mr. Richard Gere vowed to declare that I can't do it. This will also cause a great blow to my psychology. After all, how can a man think that he is No way? But I’m glad I made it through. If I can’t make it through, I’m afraid I’ll fall into infinite doubts about myself.”

"My mind has never changed. If Richard Gere is a good film critic or an amazing actor, I am willing to take his proposal sincerely. But he has neither major awards nor amazing roles. , I don’t think he should be talking nonsense at that time, a person can only be proud if he first learns humility, if you can’t even do the simplest things, how can you criticize people who have done it?”

Josh's response quickly aroused heated discussions among the audience. Some thought his words were reasonable, while others thought his tone was too arrogant.But the audience who were a little more sensible and could clearly recall the conflicts between him and Pete and Richard Gere were on Josh's side.

Anyway, Josh wasn't the one to start a scolding war.

On further thought, what he said made a lot of sense.

If he doesn't fight back in the face of humiliating words, Josh is not a man at all, but just a cowardly softie.

The most important thing is that Josh didn't choose to fight back immediately after Pitt taunted him, but only responded at the Oscars after he proved his strength.

This shows that Josh is not impulsive.If anyone thinks his actions are disgusting, they might as well look back, it was Pete who disgusted Josh first.

Everyone has to pay for their own choices. Josh is willing to pay for his own choices, but why are they unwilling when it is Brad Pitt and Richard Gere's turn, as if they have been wronged? of?

"Thinking again and again, the reason can only be...their faces are bigger?" A supermarket tabloid mocked mercilessly.

Pete, who wanted to magnify the conflict between Tom and Josh to prove Josh's bad character: "..."

He had no idea why he was being involved in all this shit, and Tom had taken it out entirely.Pete thought hard at home for several days, and only came to one conclusion - Tom Cruise and Josh Walter are definitely his natural enemies.

He collaborated with Tom in "Interview with the Vampire". Tom's role as Leicester was well received, and his role as Louie became a complete foil.

He only secretly mocked Josh once, and now he is mocked a hundred times every day!

What is all this about?

........................

In the fourth week of its release, the box office of "Independence Day" crossed the 3 million mark as expected, successfully entering the ranks of the top ten in film history.

This week, "Independence Day" still ranked No. 2 on the weekend charts, making it the first film this summer to top the box office for four consecutive weeks.This week's No.[-] is "Killing Time" directed by Joe Schumacher, starring Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaughey and Samuel Jackson.

After a month of accumulation, "Independence Day" has become the highest-grossing movie in 1996.

Under "Independence Day" is "Tornado" directed by Jane de Bont and starring Helen Hunt, with a box office of 2 million US dollars. No.4171 is Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" series No. One, the movie was released on May 3 and has grossed $5 million so far.

No.4 on the list is "Into the Deadly Island" starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage. The film, which was released on June 6, has a box office of over 7 million and has a good reputation.

If nothing else, "Independence Day" is likely to be the crown of the year this year. The movie has only been released for a month, and there is great hope of breaking through 4 million.

Thanks to the movie, Josh's salary has gradually crossed the 2000 million mark, and he has also become one of the few top-paid actors in Hollywood - a single film salary exceeds 2000 million US dollars, and there are some who ask for a bonus right.

But Josh's next movie is Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan". If Josh also insisted on this model, DreamWorks might not be willing to spend such a large amount of money.

Of course, Josh did not choose to back down on this matter, and Arnold would not back down.

Josh can accept a low price of 500 million US dollars, as long as DreamWorks can share 10% of the film's global box office with him.

DreamWorks, of course, refused.

But what Steven Spielberg was even more curious about was that Josh was so optimistic about the prospects of the movie: "Why?"

"Come on Steven, no one else knows, but I worked with you on "Schindler's List". Don't you have confidence in your own film?"

"Okay." Spielberg touched his nose and showed a wry smile.

Arnold finally made concessions, Josh can still take $800 million in salary, but his box office share has dropped to 8%, which is also an acceptable figure for DreamWorks.

"If Josh is the number one actor, I will insist on adjusting the share ratio to 20%, so gentlemen, you really took advantage of it."

Seeing Arnold's excited expression, the negotiators of DreamWorks looked ashen. The moment the door closed, they couldn't help complaining: "God, what corner is this Grandet coming from? He is like a A ravenous gopher, well fed and well fed, who can wrestle with you for three hours waiting for a piece of lunch..."
