The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1370 Taking control of the situation
Rustling, rustling.

It was not noisy, but not quiet either. Although no one was shouting loudly, the crew was always filled with a faint restlessness. The casual glances, the conversations that were interrupted when they passed by, the mysterious smiles after whispers, all floated in the air.

Unpleasant.

Reese knew she wasn't the topic of conversation, but the atmosphere was still uncomfortable.

However, the real person involved was still calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

Reese looked at Anson, who was smiling, "Are you sure it's okay?"

Anson didn't seem to understand what Reese said, "What?"

Reese was stunned, her breath stuck in her throat. Looking at Anson in front of her, she felt like a fool for worrying about Anson's situation.

Reese's lips twitched slightly, revealing a smile, "It's okay, I just noticed that you were sweating a lot, is everything okay?"

Anson waved his hand, "It's okay, get ready for the show."

The filming is about to begin, and it cuts directly to Johnny Cash halfway through his performance, because after halftime, Johnny is indeed sweating profusely.

Originally, the makeup artist was going to make Anson look like he was sweating; but Anson went to the waiting room ahead of time and sang for thirty minutes inside. Coupled with his hangover last night and lack of sleep today, his body felt weak and he was soon steaming and sweating profusely. It was just right for him to enter the performance in this state.

Reese looked at Anson, who was full of ease and eager to try, and couldn't help but sigh, is this the difference between people?
If she were in the storm, she would probably be unable to sit still and would not even be able to tell whether the food she put in her mouth was sweet or salty.

But what about Anson?

Reese didn't say anything more. "That's great."

Taking a deep breath, Reese regained her focus and stayed focused, watching as all departments and links of the crew were fully prepared. She finally relaxed and got into the state.

everything's ready.

Then Anson left the side stage and appeared on the stage -

Wow!
In an instant, a heat wave hit us and the whole audience roared.

Ahhhh! Ahhhh!
Screams, shouts, and roars rolled in. The small theater that could accommodate 300 people was packed. Extras and extras dressed in costumes were responsible for playing the audience. They all put on their parents' costumes from the 1950s and came to the party like a masquerade.

It's crazy enough to appear in a Hollywood movie in the form of a masquerade.

But who could have thought, what was even crazier, was that they could actually see Anson up close and personal at the scene.

"Anson, that's Anson!"

"God God God, I can't breathe."

“Anson, Anson, Anson, ahhh…”

Because he was too excited and too excited, his voice broke through the clouds and broke through the limit, and finally exceeded his own audio range. He just kept opening his mouth silently but enthusiastically:

Ahhhhh!
The entire theater was in an uproar, the atmosphere was boiling, the situation was completely out of control, the theater turned into a volcano——

This was something the crew had not anticipated at all.

Mangold: ???

Of course, this is all they asked for.

When seeing Johnny Cash/Anson Wood on stage, the audience should try their best to burst out energy and create the heat of the live performance.

This is consistent with the reality in the movie.

However, Mangold was caught off guard, having never expected that Anson's appearance would detonate such energy, far beyond control.

What should we do now?
Stop it? It seems unnecessary, because this is the effect the crew hopes to see. Let it go? The situation is about to get out of control, is this really okay?
Some people even began to stomp their feet and jump. The irrational frenzy was shaking the building. As the earth and mountains trembled, the world also shook.

Mangold blinked his eyes. He suddenly realized that they seemed to lack some accurate judgment on Anson's appeal. Although the crew had been bustling and attracting much attention since the start of filming, he always believed that it was the halo of a "Hollywood crew"; now it seems that he might have some illusions.

Someone asked, "Director, what should we do? Should we just start filming? Will the situation get out of control?"

After all, Johnny Cash and June Carter were supposed to be the stars of the show; but at the same time, they needed the audience to play along.

Mangold: ...

However, before Mangold could speak, Anson had already appeared on the stage.

Anson stepped forward, stood at the very front of the stage, raised his hands, made a downward motion, and exchanged glances with the audience in front of him with a smile on his face. In this way, he established connections, and his steps completed a fan-shaped coverage along the front edge of the stage, ensuring that every corner was taken care of.

Once, twice.

The out-of-control volcano before our eyes became inexplicably quiet. Although it was still excited and agitated, its violently heaving chest and eyes full of light revealed its continuously burning emotions; but the theater did calm down, and the surging and boiling restlessness hidden beneath the sea continued to surge.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, thank you for letting me know what's going on in the outside world. Apparently, the cinema is very busy."

Hahahaha, everyone burst into laughter.

"But there is a reason why I stay focused and reject outside news. Let's focus on the work at hand. Today, I need your help. Let's enjoy the performance together and let's complete today's performance together. How about it?"

Clap, clap, clap! The applause was thunderous.

There was not only applause, but also whistles, responding to Anson in this way.

Anson spread his right palm and pressed down again, this time taking control of the situation without any effort. "Save some energy, we still have a long day ahead of us."

This time, there was only light laughter in the theater, and it was quickly controlled.

Looking around, one could see that all the audience in the theater were eagerly looking at Anson. The brightness in their eyes was filled with the turmoil in their hearts. They all raised their chins slightly and looked up at Anson with expectation and admiration.

No acting required, this would perfectly replicate the spectacle of a Johnny Cash performance.

A time tunnel seemed to open between the movie and reality, and the two time and space merged perfectly together. The figure standing on the stage seemed to be Anson in the last second, and turned into Johnny in the next second, and then turned back to Anson in a trance, and the two figures slowly overlapped.

The theater atmosphere is created in this way.

Reese was also somewhat absorbed in the subject, unconsciously fixating completely on the figure.

At this moment, he turned his head, his eyes bright and his mouth slightly raised, "Are you ready?"

Reese's heart skipped a beat and she nodded quickly, "Of course. Of course!"

Anson made an "OK" gesture toward the camera lens.

In an instant, without even Mangold giving any orders, all the crew members were on alert, keeping quiet, and getting into work mode.

As a result, Mangold was sidelined, looking left and right, and the crew, who were perfectly in the shooting state without his guidance, seemed a little unfamiliar.

But Mangold shrugged lightly and said nothing more.

Isn’t this good?
The problem was solved and he was in the right state before he had to worry about it. It was like being able to start eating right away when sitting down at the dining table. It couldn't be better.

"Start shooting!"
