[US Entertainment] 1994

8月份过后,《独立日》的票房终于不复7月的强势，在周末票房榜的位置从No.1逐渐滑落到No.3,不过每周末1000多万美元的票房成绩还是让电影的总数据缓缓突破4亿,成为今夏数据最为亮眼的一部电影。

And when the film opened in July, no one expected it to be such a success.

In any case, "Independence Day" has added a lot of color to Josh's resume. Nowadays, there are only a handful of actors in Hollywood who can compare with him in terms of business and art.

In a way, Josh has had the success he wanted.

But now that "Independence Day" has been released, it is a thing of the past for Josh, and then Josh needs to start focusing on his new work.

At present, there are two movies that Josh is sure to star in, "Saving Private Ryan" and "American X-Files". The latter originally invited Edward Norton, but Arnold stepped in and snatched the script.

The 800 million US dollars paid in advance by the crew of "Saving Private Ryan" has already been transferred to Josh's account. How much money Josh can make next depends on God's preference for this movie.

But Josh believes that the ending will not be too bad, after all, God has always favored Steven Spielberg.

As for The Truman Show - Josh did have trouble.

Both he and Jim Carrey showed great interest in the film.Before the release of "Independence Day", Josh's competitiveness was obviously not as good as that of Jim Carrey.

Although Jim Carrey is the least favored comedian in Hollywood by the academy, his box office success is astounding.

The relaxed and lively style has always been loved by American audiences, but Josh is a relatively orthodox actor. He can star in blockbusters such as "Speed" and "Independence Day", and he will also favor dramas such as "The Usual Suspects" It is a low-cost movie, so for the film company, he is unpredictable, but not as stable as Jim Carrey.

And now after "Independence Day" was released, Josh has become the creator of the 4 million box office myth.

For the current Paramount Pictures, choosing who to be the leading actor has undoubtedly become a sweet annoyance. After all, the box office of movies starring Josh has reached close to one billion, and Jim Carrey's monopoly position in the comedy industry is also exhausted. We all know that if any movie can invite these two as leading actors, they will smile.But when the two become rivals - God!They don't know how to choose!

Paramount hopes to invite Josh to be the leading actor in their films in the future, bringing awards and good luck to the film, but it seems to be a good thing to cooperate with Jim Carrey, after all, Paramount has never been good at developing comedies Themes, but if Jim Carrey can be invited to star, perhaps comedy films will also become an important source of Paramount's future profits.

The last few years have been a boom time for Paramount Pictures.

This film company has developed such excellent works as "Forrest Gump", "Braveheart" and "Mission: Impossible 1". Even though they did not pay enough attention to the script of "The Truman Show" at the beginning, after Josh and Jim Carrey's competition, even if it is a fool, Paramount will know that this movie must have its own uniqueness.

Josh Walter or Jim Carrey?Paramount Pictures is caught in a dilemma.

As an agent, Arnold will of course try his best to get what Josh wants. Jim Carrey is a good opponent, but his existence is undoubtedly a test of Arnold's ability.

"Don't worry, with me here, you will play Truman."

Josh smiled slightly: "I have always been confident in your ability."

"You undoubtedly made the most correct choice."

Not long after, Josh got good news from Arnold that the other party did get the script of "The Truman Show", and he successfully became the leading actor of the movie.

After signing contracts with the crews of "American X-Files" and "The Truman Show", Josh also devoted himself to the filming of "Saving Private Ryan". Before the filming officially started, he had to undergo ten days of military training.

For Josh, that was the difficulty he needed to overcome first. He had to forget his status as a Hollywood star and regard himself as a real soldier.

Also on the training ground were Tom Hanks, Paul Giamatti and Vin Diesel, the future Hollywood commercial star.

Paul Giamatti has always been an actor who is well-known for his acting skills but not enough. It was not until 2002 in "Sideways" directed by Alexander Payne that he had the opportunity to prove his strength and shocked him with Oscar-level acting skills all of Hollywood.

Needless to say, Vin Diesel, although his appearance is not outstanding, will become popular all over the world with the "Fast and Furious" series in the future, and become one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood.

But now he is just an obscure little supporting role.

Of course, there are many situations like this. For example, Samuel Jackson, who will rank first in Hollywood in the box office in the future, has just started his career at the moment.

But let's be honest, the 90s was undoubtedly an important time in the history of Hollywood movies. At the moment, the two dominant Toms, the up-and-coming Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio, they will always be the benchmark figures in Hollywood in the next 20 years. After them, there seems to be no real superstar in Hollywood.

And during this period, although they haven't really reached the top line, there are still many stars who have always been the backbone of Hollywood.

Such as Christian Bale, Edward Norton...

Of course, their ability to maintain their status after 20 years and have a certain popularity in Hollywood just proves their extraordinaryness.

In other words, those who will be popular will be popular no matter what, and those who are destined not to become popular, even if they spend more effort, they may miss success.

Josh thanked God that he was that lucky one.

Although the military training was very hard, Josh didn't make a sound.Steven Spielberg is his Bole. Before "Schindler's List", although the outside world recognized Josh's acting skills, they only saw the most superficial things, and did not see the upper limit of Josh's performance , Until he met "Schindler's List", Josh proved himself with the role of Amon Goss.He won an Oscar and became one of the representatives of the acting school.

Out of respect for Spielberg, no matter how hard it is, he will not complain.

Of course, another reason is that Tom Hanks also participated in this military training. During the training process, the 40-year-old Hanks completed all the content of the military training at a high level, and he is 14 years younger than him. Of course, Josh didn't want to be compared to Hanks, and he didn't want to give everyone the impression of being lazy.

Ten days is of course a long time during the training process, but when the military training is over, everyone is reluctant to part.

Even if he is an actor, every man has a dream of joining the army. Although war is cruel, compared with this cruelty, the meaning of defending the motherland and saving mankind is paramount.

Josh didn't know why Steven Spielberg decided to direct a war movie. Anyway, Josh had witnessed Spielberg's poor state during "Schindler's List". At least it will be delayed for a while before a new war movie starts.

But Spielberg is clearly in much better shape than he thought.

"Hey! Josh! Want a drink?"

Josh threw his clothes on the chair casually: "I don't like drinking, I just want to eat meat, is there any meat?"

Vin Diesel raised his eyebrows, and patted Josh on the shoulder vigorously: "Of course, how can there be wine without meat?"

Josh was patted by him and grinned: "Dude, can't you be a little bit harder? I'm almost torn apart by you!"

"Come on, we just came out of hell! You've all been through hell, and I won't do you any harm if I slap you." Vin Diesel rubbed the soles of his feet, "I feel a little bit like I'm wearing shoes now. Uncomfortable, blisters have been worn on the soles of the feet."

"Then you still want to drink?"

Vin Diesel blinked: "Drinking and dating beautiful girls are the most important things in my life."

Josh: "Is your life so unpursued?"

"Following a beautiful girl is not a pursuit, so what do you want to pursue?" Vin Diesel frowned deeply. "Could it be... a beautiful man?"

"Cough, cough—" Josh pointed his finger at Vin Diesel's nose, his throat stuck hard, "You——do you want to kill me?"

Vin Diesel showed a look of shame, but explained unwillingly: "I just want to refute your statement. I don't think there is anything in this world that I can pursue more than dating a beautiful woman."

"I won't be as unpursued as you are." Adam Goldberg smiled slightly, "My pursuit is not for a beautiful woman or a beautiful man, I hope I can become the most beautiful and handsome man in the world , that is my wish."

"Then find a very rich woman to take care of you? Adam, I never thought you were such a person."

"Wrong, I found a very rich and beautiful woman to take care of me."

Adam Goldberg is only 26 years old this year. Although he is young, he has a long horse face, which obviously has nothing to do with the word handsome.

Josh also secretly admired him in his heart. He never thought that Adam Goldberg was such a pursuing guy.

Others may have the same pursuit, but they definitely don't have the courage to speak out.

Great!

Although he was still coughing badly, Josh couldn't help giving Adam Goldberg a thumbs up, this is the real warrior!

"Everyone has to pursue something in life, otherwise life is meaningless, isn't it?"

"The point is——" Vin Diesel watched Adam Goldberg's face up and down, with a serious face, "Others' pursuits are still possible, but you—hmm..."
