The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1109 Calm
McCusker tiptoed back out of Michael Lynton's office, closed the door respectfully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's it?

It seems that Michael had long forgotten about "Walking with the Song" and didn't take it to heart at all, which was a waste of time that he kept thinking about it all the time.

But, on second thought, there is really nothing special about this project. Similar biographical projects can be seen in Hollywood on an average day, but perhaps less than one percent of them can actually make a splash.

Everyone has the daydream of "making it into the awards season with a biographical film". Dreaming doesn't cost money or effort anyway. It all depends on imagination.

Besides, is that pretty face Anson serious about acting?
Ha ha.

Imagining the scene in his mind, McCusk couldn't help but shudder, goosebumps appeared all over his body, and he quickly dispelled the image in his mind.

You shouldn't let your imagination run wild, you really shouldn't.

Then McCusker turned and walked away, immediately putting the matter behind him.

It's not just Michael and McCusker, it's the same in Hollywood -

"Walking with the Song" did not cause any splash, just like a mud cow entering the sea.

Last year, when Anson starred in "The Elephant", the media made a fuss about it, complained and mocked it. Anson's intention of transformation was so obvious and exaggerated, it was ridiculous to the point of being funny.

As a result, they were collectively slapped in the face.

Of course, some stubborn media still stubbornly insist on their point of view that "The Elephant" won the Palme d'Or thanks to Gus Van Sant and has nothing to do with Anson. Anson is still just a vase.

This time, after the news that Anson would be starring in "Walk the Walk", was officially announced, Hollywood was no longer surprised. After all, Anson's intention to reverse his image and break free from the shackles was already known to everyone.

There is no need to pay too much attention to it, just let the vase do its thing on its own.

No sarcasm, no complaints, no attacks, nothing.

For Hollywood and the media, Anson's reappearance in a commercial film is news, but Anson's appearance in a biographical film is not worth reporting.

The ending is going to be failure anyway, right?
In fact, the rumor that has been circulating throughout Hollywood recently is that Anson may play "007" James Bond, which is much more exciting.

From all the circumstances, Anson has nothing to do with James Bond. He is not British, is only 21 years old, and is also being bundled with the image of Spider-Man. No matter how you look at it, Anson is not suitable.

However, the media was in an uproar and netizens were in an uproar.

One, two, and all of them were cheering.

TMZ listed all the suits that Anson wore in Cannes, and they said that this might be the most handsome, stylish and fashionable 007 in history.

Many netizens expressed their agreement.

There were even fanatical fans in the community forum who personally drew movie posters of Anson playing James Bond. This series of seven posters caused a sensation in the forum and spread throughout the forum amid praise and cheers.

It even attracted the attention of the media.

Finally, "US Weekly" bought it at a high price and published it in the latest issue of the magazine, pushing the rumors about Anson and 007 to a new peak.

Who wants to see any biographical movie Anson starred in? 007 is the way to go!

It was during this wave of news frenzy that the news about "Walking with the Stars" was not affected at all, just like when Sandra Bullock starred in "Murder by Numbers".

These are the challenges and pains that a vase needs to face in its transformation.

People have formed relatively fixed and stereotyped impressions, and have used frameworks to constrain the possibilities of actors. Every new attempt or every adventurous challenge may face unimaginable heavy pressure.

Before it even started, people had already assumed that this would be a catastrophic failure, and then they couldn't wait to say, "There's no need to struggle, just continue to rely on your looks."

The situation of "The Elephant" was already bad enough, and now "Singing with You" can continue to slide to the bottom. It is hard to tell whether "The Elephant" winning the Palme d'Or is a good thing or a bad thing.

However, for Kitcher and Mangold, they don't care about these. The only important thing is that "Walk with the Song" has finally entered the promotion stage.

After the male lead is decided, they can then start full auditions and choose the filming location, and the filming plan will be fully launched.

at last!

After ten years of twists and turns and hard work, the project finally took the most difficult and important step. Kitcher and Mangold were almost on the verge of tears.

In this wave of news that no one pays attention to, a small focus is drowned in the ocean of information.

"'Sing Along' has officially signed a contract with Forest Pictures, which will be responsible for producing the film."

Forest Pictures, who is this?

No one is paying attention, and no one cares, because this is Hollywood. Every day, there are investors who are delusional about getting a piece of the fame and fortune pie. Every day, there are also production companies that can't continue to operate and close down. There are countless people coming and going, and people have long been accustomed to automatically ignoring this information.

Of course, if a certain force comes to Hollywood with $10 billion, it might be worth a little attention, but otherwise it won't be of much value.

All in all, yet another new film company has quietly taken its first step in Hollywood.

……

Ding.

The supermarket door opened, and a man in a black shirt and a dark brown cowboy hat walked out. He had a heavy black guitar on his shoulder and was holding two plastic bags in his hands. He walked slowly towards the parking lot.

Three seconds later, the supermarket door opened again.

A woman dressed neatly in a white T-shirt and jeans walked out. She was wearing a baseball cap with her chin slightly tucked in. The shadow cast by the brim of the hat covered most of her face. She had her hands empty. She quickly raised her head to scan, but then immediately lowered her head.

"Feel sorry……"

An old man was pushing a cart and was about to enter the supermarket. The woman blocked his way. After she realized what was happening, she gave way and apologized in a low voice.

While waiting to shake her head again, the woman realized that the man in black was no longer in the parking lot, and she couldn't help but panic.

The man in black was tall and stood out wherever he stood, but now he was completely invisible in the parking lot.

The woman hurriedly trotted forward and quickly approached the man's car.

Still in the parking lot, but the driver's seat and the trunk were empty.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and her brain reacted immediately:
trap.

However, when the woman was about to turn around and run away, she found the man in black standing at the rear of a pickup truck, looking at her with a smile.

Catch the bag on the spot.

The woman felt a little embarrassed and her brain started working at high speed, thinking about how to get out of this situation.

As a result, the man spoke first.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Witherspoon. What a coincidence! Are you also here to buy groceries?"

There was clearly a hint of teasing and joking in those polite and gentlemanly words, which naturally revealed a kind of satisfaction of a cat playing with a mouse.
