The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1081 The Generation Gap is Obvious
Unbelievable! Unbelievable!
Kitcher knew that time was passing, the times were progressing, nothing was immortal, and Johnny Cash was no longer the man who once made waves.

but--

That's Johnny Cash!

Even though his glory days were over, how could Anson have never heard of Johnny? How ignorant, arrogant, and conceited was that kid?

Kitcher couldn't control himself, anger kept boiling in his chest.

Keach and Johnny Cash have known each other for more than 30 years. He witnessed the peak and the trough of Johnny's career, and he has always been Johnny's best friend.

He couldn't accept that the superstar in his mind was humiliated like this.

However, a voice deep inside told Kitcher that Mangold was right and that he loved Johnny but should not be blinded by his emotions.

This thought hurt Kitcher.

Even after sitting down in the cafe, Kitcher still refused to talk to Mangold and was completely immersed in his own world. Mangold did not disturb Kitcher because he knew that Kitcher needed some time and space to come to his senses.

Kitcher turned his head to look out the window of the cafe. The Sony Columbia Studios was always busy, and the hustle and bustle of people never stopped. He was immersed in his own thoughts, gradually becoming absent-minded, and his focus also collapsed.

Then, a figure appeared in the crowd, standing out easily in the hustle and bustle, and Kitcher's vision was refocused.

The outfit of black tennis shirt, black casual trousers and black skate shoes, without a trace of other colors on the body, makes the slender figure more upright. The well-proportioned proportions and simple lines outline his handsome temperament. Although he is more low-key, he can still catch the attention.

Coming from far and near, slowly and steadily.

Anson Wood, every move is a pleasure to watch.

Just now, they witnessed Anson's bright and sunny temperament, unrestrained, free and easy, just like a little sun.

But now, Anson changed his clothes, and his whole temperament was completely different. His wet hair and low-key aura exuded a Luciferian posture, making all the noise and bustle around him disappear.

This is the second time——

For the second time, Kitcher felt the impact of the aura because of Anson's appearance.

Amid the hustle and bustle, all the tugs and impacts in my mind were cut off, and finally evolved into an impulse like a storm.

After a slight pause, Ji Che turned to look at Mangold who was in a trance, "That's him."

Mangold was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he was completely unaware of what was happening. He looked at Kitcher with round eyes, "Who? Who is it?"

Kitcher did not explain, and tried his best to suppress his excitement, "We must seize the opportunity to convince him, he is the perfect choice."

Mangold still couldn't keep up with the rhythm, "Huh?"

Before Mangold could ask more questions, the door of the cafe was pushed open, wind chimes rang, and Anson, dressed in black, appeared before him.

Anson stood at the door and looked around, finally seeing the two Jameses sitting by the window in the corner. He smiled and waved to say hello.

Anson was about to approach, but a guest nearby was too shy to come forward and ask if he could take a photo. Anson readily agreed and met the other party's need. There were other guests nearby who shouted, "Anson, you are the best." Anson turned around and responded with a smile.

After a short delay, Anson finally took his first step.

"Sorry for the delay."

Throughout the whole process, Mangold stared at Anson intently. Now he finally understood why Kitcher was so impulsive.

"Man-In-Black".

This movie became famous because of Will Smith and had great box office success; but the older generation all know that the title "Man in Black" originally belonged to Johnny Cash.

When he was young, Johnny Cash was indignant about the many injustices in society. He firmly believed that justice should be served and fairness should be achieved, so he wore black to express his position.

For this, Johnny earned himself the nickname "The Man in Black", along with "Robin Hood", "Zorro" and so on.

Moreover, in his early years, Johnny, who was 188 cm tall, was known as "tall and handsome", a traditional handsome man, and his image in black clothes was popular all over the United States. In front of us, Anson was dressed in black, handsome and unrestrained, as if he had walked out of an oil painting, easily catching the attention and making people unable to take their eyes away.

No wonder Kitcher lost his composure a little.

Even Mangold opened his mouth slightly.

Judging from their appearance alone, Anson and Johnny Cash have completely different styles, and they are not even similar in spirit. Johnny has an American grassroots temperament, but Anson has more of the elegance of a French gentleman. The two are worlds apart, and Mangold has no confidence in this. He can only say that because of "Spider-Man", he has some expectations.

But now, Mangold could feel that aura from Anson, an indescribable but real superstar aura.

I couldn't help but feel my heart beating wildly.

Mangold cleared his throat. "Anson, you really don't know Johnny Cash?"

Anson shrugged slightly. "I don't want to be rude, but I really don't know. I just asked the director, and he told me that he was a great singer. Apparently, I missed his era."

Mangold leaned forward slightly. "So you haven't heard of the 'Men in Black' either?"

Anson looked confused. "Will Smith?"

Mangold: ...

Kitcher: ...

They were speechless, but they couldn't refute it.

The same thing often means different things to different generations. Maybe this is the generation gap?
Ji Che was also helpless, wavering between positivity and negativity, but this time, Ji Che took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Anson, we are preparing a Johnny Cash biopic. We hope to present his life, his greatness, his struggles. It is not a biography of a great man, but a real and complex Johnny Cash."

"We want you to play him."

Be straightforward and get to the point.

Anson blinked his eyes——

It turned out to be the case.

It can be said to be unexpected but not surprising, as it turns out to be a film project.

Anson raised his chin slightly, "But why?"

"What I mean is, I guess you came here today just to test me. Obviously, you must have some considerations."

"I think we should have a discussion and exchange some ideas. After you go back and discuss it, you can formally send out the invitation."

"But now?"

"So, what happened?"

Smart! Wise! Astute.

Anson almost figured out the whole story!

Completely correct.

Kitcher and Mangold exchanged glances, both of them showed shock in their eyes, and couldn't believe their ears.

It is hard to imagine that the two old guys would repeatedly lose their composure in front of a young boy in his early twenties.

Mangold also realized at this time that perhaps from the first moment they met, they had lost the initiative and then put themselves in trouble step by step.

So, what to do now?
Tell the truth?
