The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1429 Investment Model
In fact, among these events, Anson is most interested in "match point".

Strictly speaking, this is a black comedy that uses an absurd crime to discuss desire, love, and most importantly, the possibilities of life.

The male lead, Chris Wilton, is a complex and contradictory complex. On the surface, he is a pretty boy who relies on his appearance to make a living, but in his heart he is a scheming and sinister person. This contrast gives the actor a lot of room to play.

In the previous life, the male lead was played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers. It can be seen that Woody Allen's intention was to use a handsome vase to play the role; unfortunately, Jonathan was handsome enough, but he did not show the complexity of the character——

Very regrettable!

There is no doubt that this weakens the extension of the film, because the male protagonist must be a person who makes people love and hate him. Although people hate him, they have to succumb to his charm. The tug of war between moral bottom line and emotional arousal makes the audience feel contradictory and exciting. This is the original intention of Woody Allen's creation.

If Anson were to play the role, he felt that he should study psychology and research the character's growth background and personality formation to give the character an irresistible charm.

This should be an interesting challenge.

In addition, the heroine of the previous life's "Match Point" was finally chosen as Scarlett Johansson, which is also a reason.

Anson and Scarlett have known each other for a long time, but they have never worked together. It must be a special experience to meet in the workplace through a work like "Match Point".

but……

The truth is the truth, but the theory on paper is different from the actual situation. In fact, Anson is not that enthusiastic. Even though the project is very attractive, the reason lies in Anson himself.

He needs to rest.

This is the truth, and Anson was not kidding with Lucas. The filming of "Sing Along" consumed his energy from all aspects and levels, and he is not looking forward to entering a brand new role now.

It is for this reason that Anson plans to use his rest time to enter the world of music and vent his emotions and energy in another way, turning them into notes to complete the healing process.

So, the timing is still not right.

If it is postponed for a while and "Match Point" still hasn't found a suitable actor, or if Woody Allen still has the patience to wait for Anson, then we can discuss the cooperation at that time; otherwise, we will have to regret missing it.

At first, Lucas remained focused and nervous, keeping a close eye on Anson.

He didn't know what he was worried about. Maybe he was worried that Jack would suddenly appear, or that Anson would suddenly collapse, or maybe he was worried that Anson would take a fancy to a project and roll up his sleeves to call Edgar to start work right away. Should he stop him or should he be happy for Anson's renewed vitality?
Lucas himself was not sure, and the whole feeling was extremely complicated and turbulent.

Anyway, my nerves are always tense and I can't relax.

But slowly, slowly, Lucas relaxed.

Anson seemed...extra relaxed, as if he was playing a game. He would occasionally discuss with him, occasionally look at the project plan in his hand with a meaningful expression, and occasionally smile foolishly with the corners of his mouth raised.

Although Anson has not completely gotten rid of the influence of the Johnny Cash character, at least one can feel that Anson is stepping out of the shadows and embracing the sunshine.

A lazy and relaxing morning, nothing to do, just sit here and chat, and waste time -

It's actually quite good.

The project plans in front of us are diverse, of course, not only art film award season works, but also many typical commercial films.

For example, "Elizabethtown", a typical romantic comedy chick flick, and "Sahara", an adventure film set in the desert, trying to be the second "Indiana Jones" or "The Mummy".

For example, "Poseidon", a work that attempts to follow in the footsteps of disaster movies such as "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Twister", but this time the stage is set on the vast ocean. Who knows, maybe it can become the second "Titanic"?
And so on and so forth.

The variety of genres and styles really opens up all possibilities. Everything is just as Lucas said, no one in Hollywood now continues to treat Anson as a vase.

Perhaps in private and behind the scenes, those prejudices, complaints and discriminations will still be difficult to change in a short period of time; but market orientation gives a different answer. Regardless of whether people agree or not, the audience has given the answer through actual actions, which is the most important and the only important thing.

Unfortunately, because there are too many projects, it is easy to get tired because it is difficult to choose.

until--

"Luca, take a look at this project."

Following Anson's voice, Lucas looked up and saw the joy and excitement in Anson's eyes.

Lucas took the project plan, but he still complained, "Didn't you say you were going to take a break?"

Anson laughed directly, "No, I'm not starring in it, but Forest Pictures invested in it."

Lucas's eyebrows slightly raised, very surprised, he lowered his head to scan and search his memory. If he remembered correctly, "This is the project Edgar gave you."

Anson nodded slightly. "I guessed it. You don't have such sharpness and courage. Edgar still hopes to break the stereotype in an alternative way, so the projects he chooses are either those that completely subvert his previous roles, or super-large projects that can compete with Sony Columbia."

“The goal is clear.”

"However, I feel that this project is not suitable for me because it is not easy for actors to shine. It is very suitable for Forest Pictures to make its own voice heard in Hollywood."

Lucas, "What's that noise?"

Anson, "We are a film company that dares to challenge, break through and take risks. We are not going to play it safe. Here, we are not referring to the scale of investment, whether it is a large project or a small investment. What we value is to break the stereotype of Hollywood and give creators more room to play."

Lucas, "Like DreamWorks?"

Anson smiled. "No, DreamWorks may seem bold, crazy, and unique, but deep down they are still typical Hollywood narrative models, including 'Shrek the Monsters'. The so-called rebellion is just a superficial appearance, and the real core is still the language of Hollywood narrative."

“The real core of DreamWorks is not subversion, but giving directors more creative space to avoid excessive interference from producers that could cause projects to get out of control.”

Lucas, “Freedom from Capital.”

Anson nodded. "Yes, get rid of the influence of capital. But Forest Pictures is different. We dare to challenge concepts, traditions, and stereotypes."

“The core is different.”

"'Walking with the Song' is a biographical narrative model that seems conservative and traditional, but the real protagonists at the core are music creation and live performances."

Lucas raised his chin slightly, "So this project is the same?"

"Same, but different." Anson's smile rose slightly. "The real strength of this movie lies in its narrative techniques and camera language."

The project in Lucas's hand clearly reads:

"Sin City".
