[US Entertainment] 1994

"Until Saving Private Ryan was released, I'm afraid no one could have predicted that a war movie would take such a huge box office in the summer. Steven Spielberg's superb shooting skills and Tom Hanks , Josh Walter's strong box office appeal combined to inspire the most powerful chemical reaction in the box office bombing of the summer file."

"First of all, "Saving Private Ryan" is indeed a smooth drama, the plot is reasonable, both brutal war and death, but also justice, loyalty and warmth, every character in John Miller's squad has Distinctive personalities, they are all flesh and blood, experienced the baptism of war, and faced the death of their comrades, they showed blood one by one."

"This movie conveys a value to the audience: Is it worth paying such a high price to save Ryan? Everyone will give different answers. From the perspective of economic cost, it is of course not worthwhile. But Ryan is a The only surviving child in the family, war has cost us so much, countless families have sent their children to war and watched him die when there was a chance of survival, no mother can do that .”

The film review of "Entertainment Weekly" represents the views of most North American media on "Saving Private Ryan". Obviously, North American audiences have a deeper feeling for this movie.

In the third week of release, the weekend box office was 2488 million US dollars!

On this week's box office list, "Saving Private Ryan" was the best, simply and neatly overwhelmed two newly released films, and topped the box office for three consecutive weeks.

The No.2 "Snake Eyes" was produced by Paramount and starred Nicolas Cage. The weekend box office was 1631 million US dollars.

No.3 "Moonlight Panic" is a Halloween horror film with a cost of 1700 million U.S. dollars. Its box office reached 1618 million U.S. dollars in the first week of its release, which is 13 U.S. dollars lower than "Snake Eyes". Due to the gap in the number of theaters, "Moonlight Panic" has a higher box office in a single theater. There is no doubt that it will be a dark horse at the box office for a small production in the summer.

In any case, with "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Truman Show" setting consecutive box office records this summer, Josh's box office appeal has once again been recognized.Even the guy who is upset with Josh can only say "shit luck" sourly.

Other than that, they have nothing to do. No matter what they think, Josh is now an unshakable super star.

Rich, honored, famous, and box office... In addition, there is a handsome face that makes men jealous. Under Josh's light, the male stars of his generation are completely reduced to a foil.

For 99.9% of Hollywood stars, Oscars and box office titles are their lifelong pursuits, but Josh got them easily. At this time, they can't even express their envy.

"Summer file becomes a two-person battle for hegemony, Truman VS Ryan, Truman wins! "

In September, the summer file slowly came to an end. What many media did not guess was that the entire summer file turned into Josh’s personal show, whether it was a commercial blockbuster with an investment of over 9 million yuan, or a small-budget production , and no film can compete with "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Truman Show" at the box office.

Together, the box office of the two films exceeded 3 million!

Prior to this, despite Steven Spielberg's impressive record, it has always been a recognized fact in the Hollywood film market that war movies are not competitive, let alone "The Truman Show".Peter Weir is a full-fledged literary and artistic director. No matter from which angle you look at it, high-grossing movies have nothing to do with this director.

But the reality just happened, and they couldn't help but not accept it.In the end, the media can only accept that this year's summer box office war ended in this way.

It is not incomprehensible if you think about it carefully.Josh himself is an actor with a strong box office appeal, and the two films "The Truman Show" and "Saving Private Ryan" have their own unique features in terms of plots. They are not commercial blockbusters with only special effects and lack of connotation. The quality is also far above the standard line, so it can naturally achieve high box office.

"No need to imagine, the author can guess Josh Walter's proud face at this time. But so what, the box office performance of "The Truman Show" is far worse than that of "Titanic", Leonardo DiCaprio is still 4 years younger than Josh Walter, and it is conceivable that DiCaprio will completely replace Walter in the near future, and Walter can only sneak under the quilt and pick his feet." National Enquirer " wrote so.

Their report naturally aroused strong protest from Josh.

In a talk show, Josh looked sad and angry: "I don't understand what the National Enquirer said. Even if they said I was crying secretly under the quilt, I wouldn't mind, but why would they say that I was crying?" Picking your feet in the quilt, won't it stink?"

In the blink of an eye, the temperature in Los Angeles suddenly dropped. Josh also took off his T-shirt and put on a thin sweater jacket.

As the time to quit approached, his mood became more and more relaxed.

Lying on a chair, holding a book in his hands, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Carlos was weeding in the garden, sweating profusely from exhaustion. He originally planned to ask Josh to pass him a towel, but when he looked back, someone had already fallen asleep.

Carlos shook his head, but went back to the room first and took a blanket to cover Josh.

In October, "The X-Files of America" ​​officially landed in North American theaters. Because the film was about the sensitive subject of racial discrimination, it encountered a lot of trouble at the beginning of its release. Protest against the movie.

In the end, the movie's box office barely exceeded $5000 million, and not only did it not lose money, it even made a small profit.

As for the protests of the racists—in the words of The New York Times, "they've been trampled on, and everyone knows that serious racism will eventually lead our country to the abyss, and it will generate generations of discrimination. Contagion, will split us into two countries, "American X-Files" just showed us the real ending. Opponents are not disgusted with movies, but afraid of the truth spreading, unwilling to admit how bad what they are doing , Contradictions, confrontations and fears are what they look forward to."

"Thanks to Josh Walter for yet another fantastic film."

Josh didn't take this matter to heart at first. Who knew that one day after "American X-Files" was offline, he was attacked by a white man carrying a paint bucket at the entrance of the supermarket.

The pungent thick green paint was thrown at him, and the other party cursed "fuck your mother", and Josh's face changed immediately.

He quickly ran back to avoid the paint bucket, but there were still a few drops of paint on his clothes, and the pungent smell made Josh almost suffocate.The guy behind was still chasing after him, Josh pulled the iron shelf at the entrance of the supermarket and smashed towards the idiot behind him.

Once or twice... I don't know how many times, the originally fierce guy threw away the paint bucket, hugged his head and cried: "Mom, come and save me!"

"Damn Josh Walter, why are you so fierce?"

"It hurts to death, don't hit me wrong!"

"Help, woo woo woo..."

Josh: "..."

What to do, his hands are so sour!

The conflict between the two naturally attracted the attention of passers-by. Just when the people around were going up to persuade the fight, no, or when they were going to prevent Josh from committing violence unilaterally, the two sides in the fight suddenly stopped.

The moment passers-by stepped forward, they saw a painted face that was crying miserably and did not know how much mud was covered in it.

It's kind of ugly.

And the other person—

...Josh Walter! ! !

Why Josh Walter!

Josh Walter was hitting someone?

The news was obviously much more interesting, so after a while, a group of reporters came to the scene, as well as the police who heard the news.

The reporters looked at Josh with shining eyes, as if they were looking at a shining golden cash cow. Of course, Josh ignored them and looked at the policeman on the side instead.

"Mr. Walter, do you know him?"

Josh shook his head: "I haven't seen him at all before this."

"Then what is the reason for your conflict?" The policeman pointed to the tall white man who kept crying all the way, "Why did he become like this?"

Josh smiled and said: "I came out of the supermarket after shopping, and this gentleman was carrying a big bucket of paint and wanted to pour it on me. If it is the reason, I guess it has something to do with my movie "American X-Files", it may be It has caused discomfort to some extremist groups. Of course, it may also be because this gentleman has a problem with his brain and cannot be speculated with common sense."

"You hit me!"

"Oh, friend, be good!" Josh glanced over, and the big brother subconsciously bowed his head and didn't dare to speak anymore.

The policeman showed disapproval at Josh.

Josh raised his hand: "He wanted to splash me, but I ran faster, so he could only chase after me. You know how bad and unhealthy the smell of paint is. I had to find a weapon to fight back."

"You hit me a lot!"

"Shut up!" Josh glared at him fiercely.

"Mr. Walter, in front of you is a policeman!"

"I'm sorry." Josh shrugged, "If I cause him personal injury, I am willing to accept punishment and compensation, but I still hope that the guy who is too weak in combat will not come to make a surprise attack. He cried and shouted at least 20 times today. Mother."

Before Josh finished his interview, Arnold rushed over and brought Josh's personal lawyer.There will be nothing else for Josh, and everything will be left to Mr. Lawyer.

For Josh, this matter couldn't be easier, but for the reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world, this is definitely an explosive news!

Josh Walter hits back after being splashed with paint!The assailant could be an extreme racist!

The reporters' faces were filled with excited smiles, ha, next month's bonus is no longer a worry!
