[US Entertainment] 1994

After winning the Oscar, Josh lived a happy life like a pig. After eating and sleeping, he woke up and realized that he still had work to do. It was already April.

Although he deliberately kept a low profile, Hollywood has not forgotten his Oscar winner.

Reports about Josh are still the focus of readers’ attention, and major film companies have also sent scripts to Arnold one after another. However, Josh still has "The Truman Show" and "American X-Files" that need to be filmed. He can only forget about the one-step invitation.

There are still three years before the new century, and Josh has accomplished all his goals since entering the film industry.

In the past, the system that would flicker when he completed a task did not issue a new task for him this time. No matter how Josh summoned it, the system did not respond as if it had never appeared.

One night, a light flashed in Josh's mind while he was sleeping soundly.

He woke up suddenly, and in the next second he realized that the system that had existed in his mind for seven years had completely stripped his mind of it.

never again.

Although the system had prepared for him to be disfigured and naked!Ben such a cruel punishment, but when it really disappeared, Josh felt a little bit reluctant in his heart.

The system has been motivating him to become a better actor and achieve his goals. In the process, it didn't give Josh much positive encouragement, but its punishment measures made Josh restless.

In any case, if there is no system, Josh would not be able to work so hard, and he would not be able to gain so many trophies.

"Goodbye, my friend!" Josh said silently in his heart, holding Carlos who was already asleep, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Sure enough, he is the luckiest one in the world.

After coming to the door for the third time this week, and seeing Josh, who was also disheveled for the third time, Arnold was finally out of anger.

"How long has it been since you took a shower?"

"I wash it every day." Josh rubbed his messy hair, "I don't have to go out, so I don't want to change clothes and blow dry my hair."

"I swear to God, I was so unlucky that I met you, an unreliable guy." The manager was so angry that his eyes lit up, and he knocked on Josh's forehead with his fingers, "Maybe I should thank you If you don't go out, if the media captures your messy appearance, it will be a nightmare."

Josh patted the agent on the shoulder: "Why are you so irritable, Arnold, I will still make movies in a while, I still have two scripts!"

"I know. There's nothing I can do with you." Mr. Manager showed a helpless smile, looked directly at Josh with a serious expression: "When do you plan to quit?"

"After finishing these two movies." Josh smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

"You won't regret it?"

Josh smiled frankly: "I have all the honors I want, why should I regret it? Thank you, Arnold, although I know you may be a little disappointed now."

"No. I'm not a manager who likes to force people, as long as you're happy."

"Maybe I will come back to make movies in the future." Josh lowered his voice, "There will be more and more tolerant voices in this world, no matter whether I like the same sex or the opposite sex, I can hold his hand and walk in the sunshine , I believe there will be such a day.”

"I believe too."

After being quiet for a while, the manager suddenly said, "How long are you going to keep this ugly look? Are you sure Carlos won't dislike you?"

Josh sniffled: "Carlos is not that kind of superficial person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Carlos pushed the door out, stared at Josh's image for two seconds, then silently put the squeezed toothpaste into Josh's hand, and threw a white towel on his shoulder: "Go Wash your face and brush your teeth."

Josh: "..."

"Oh." Josh's voice was muffled, a little aggrieved.

Arnold, who watched the interaction between the two, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Josh flew over with a sharp eye.

Arnold stopped laughing, and switched to the serious mode instantly: "Actually, your image now is very good, not ugly at all. You know, I am not a superficial person."

In the next second, Mr. Manager received another cool stare from Carlos.

Mr. Broker shrugged, well, he shouldn't get involved in the couple's flirting in the first place.

He really was the poorest, unluckiest agent in Hollywood.

…………

It was more than a month after the Oscars ended that the talk about the extravaganza died down.

Regardless of the outside discussions, Josh has indeed become the biggest beneficiary of this Oscar.

Brand invitations came one after another, and his salary immediately soared to the top of Hollywood actors, comparable to Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and others.After the Oscar results came out, Zegna took the initiative to revise the contract with Josh. The one-year endorsement fee of the watch brand that Josh endorsed directly increased by 300 million US dollars. In addition, he also stuck to "Sex Book Tycoon" in theaters The monthly box office has increased by 300% compared to last week... Before that, the Oscar craze would indeed last for about a month in Hollywood, but this year's market's pursuit of Josh has opened the eyes of people in the industry.

The record of the youngest Oscar winner in history is indeed explosive!

Of course, Josh's popularity is also closely related to his low profile after the awards were announced. The audience was eager for his news, and the media also expected him to help sales, but they couldn't even touch Josh's shadow!

In addition, Josh is also a young actor with box office appeal.

"Independence Day" has a box office of over 4 million, "Speed" has a box office of nearly 3 million, and "Shawshank's Redemption" has a box office of nearly 2 million... Few actors can maintain a balance between business and art. success.

This is also the reason why the whole Hollywood is chasing Josh crazily.

In May, under the blanket search of paparazzi across the United States, Josh quietly went to Florida to start preparing for the filming of "The Truman Show".

The filming location is Seaside, Florida. The planning here is unique, and every street leads to the sea, which just meets all the scenes required by the reality show "The Truman Show".

Three days before filming began, Josh met director Peter Weir.

Will is an Australian, and he is relatively silent and not good at speaking. When he sees Josh, he just nods to say hello.

Peter Weir's No.1 choice to play Truman has always been Jim Carrey. Although Josh finally won the role, Will doesn't think Josh can perform this role well, even if Josh Just became the youngest Oscar winner.

Since shooting his first work in 1971, Peter Weir has taken root in the film directing industry.Although the director is not as well-known as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and others, he has also contributed many classics.

Such as "Picnic on the Cliff", "Dead Poets Society" and so on.

"The Truman Show" is the new work directed by Peter Weir after 5 years since "Air Crash". Of course, this is also related to his aging. One work can be released in three years. After the 7s, his pace of filming slowed down significantly.

Compared to Peter Weir's silence, producer Scott Rudin was extraordinarily enthusiastic about Josh. He first congratulated Josh for winning this year's Oscar winner, and then introduced screenwriter Andrew Nicol and other staff members. to josh.

Andrew Nicole was originally going to direct the tube. He is a screenwriter that Scott Rudin admires, but Paramount Pictures thinks that the fledgling Nicole is not suitable for "The Truman Show" with a budget of up to 6000 million US dollars. ", only Peter Weir was invited.

It is worth mentioning that the script of "The Truman Show" was bought by producer Scott Rudin for $100 million.

Scott Rudin has served as a producer since 1980. In 1992, "Sisters Are Crazy" was a box office hit and started Rudin's brilliant career.By the 20th century, he had become one of the most successful producers in Hollywood.

His credits include Tom Cruise's Sugar Trap, Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, Nicole Kidman's The Hours, and Julie and Julia, The Other Boleyn Girl", "Revolutionary Road", "Child Abuse Mystery", "There Will Be Blood", "No Country for Old Men" etc.

Scott Rudin is not a producer like Jerry Bruckheimer who is good at discovering commercial blockbusters, but his selection of films is old-fashioned and unique, not inferior to Harvey Weinstein. Rudin is also Jewish American, tyrant, workaholic, after a decade, he was Harvey Weinstein's worst enemy in the Oscar race.

If Hollywood movie stars want to win an Oscar, they can’t escape Harvey Weinstein and Scott Rudin. In comparison, Hollywood is much simpler now, which is why Josh was able to single-handedly win the Best Actor Oscar. Of course he also has public relations, and public relations are inevitable.

Harvey Weinstein's win over Saving Private Ryan in Shakespeare in Love is one of the proudest moments of Weinstein's career as a producer, but in a way it's also The beginning of the downfall of the Hollywood film industry.

The heroine of "The Truman Show" chose Laura Linney. Linney looks like Meryl Streep when she was young, but she is sweeter than Streep.

The 33-year-old Linney developed on Broadway for a period of time before coming to Hollywood. The first film she participated in was last year's "Fear of the First Degree", cooperating with Edward Norton. Laura Linney's starting point is very high compared to other actresses who started acting from the sidelines.

In addition to Linney, the actors of "The Truman Show" also include Noah Emmerich, Natasha McElhone, Ed Harris and Paul Giamatti. Ash is working with Giamatti for the second time.

"What a beautiful day, Peter, it's a good start for our movie." Scott Rudin laughed. "If it gets hotter, we can spend the whole weekend at sea."

Peter Weir nodded: "I like good weather, and "The Truman Show" also needs sunshine."

After joining the group, Josh's lazy life was gone forever, and the precious fat accumulated during the holidays was also slowly lost after joining the group.

The aura of the Oscar winner is really extraordinary. Even though Peter Weir's attitude is still a little cold, the attitude of the crew of "The Truman Show" is not inferior to the director. On the one hand, the crew of "The Usual Suspect" and Brian Singer's experience deserves everyone's vigilance. It was not only Bryan Singer who was unlucky, but also other staff members of the "Usual Suspects" crew.

On the other hand, Josh is the only heavyweight star in "The Truman Show". If the movie wants to win awards and box office, relying on Josh is the only way.

Just a few days after "The Truman Show" started filming, Josh received the news that Carlos, his family, came to visit the set.
