The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1451 So that’s it
Jon swallowed involuntarily. The nervousness, anxiety and uneasiness were like a drop of hot sweat that slowly slid down his temple.

They were worried that Anson would close its doors because he was concerned about his image.

Generally speaking, comedy movies are often associated with labels such as "breaking the image", "shit and piss", "making fun of ugly people", etc., which requires sacrificing self-image. Only fat people, hairy men, and ugly guys are willing to sacrifice their image to act in comedies, while handsome guys are responsible for showing off their coolness in other movies.

Because of this, countless women have said that a handsome man who is willing to be funny, a gentleman with a sense of humor, is often more attractive.

After all, it's rare.

Over the past six months, Anson's various actions have shown an attitude and determination that seems to indicate he is ready to break the image of a vase; but removing the vase label and sacrificing the image for the sake of being funny are two completely different things.

"Ah, crap."

On the side, Scott was seizing the opportunity, but Jon suddenly realized the fatal flaw.

Damn!

When they discussed between themselves, everything went smoothly and was perfect. They boasted that they had thought everything through and considered every aspect inside and out.

But when he really stood in front of Anson, he found that the plan was full of loopholes and accidents happened one after another, and it had already gone off track.

Jon had the urge to dig a hole in the ground.

Looking at Anson in front of him, Jon forced himself to smile, but he believed that this smile might be scarier than the clown.

Anson noticed that even though he was sitting on the sofa with Jon and Scott looking down at him, the view in front of him was still clear.

Anson's mouth corners slightly raised, "Relax, this shouldn't be the problem I need to worry about most right now, right?"

comedy?

It's a little interesting.

Anson looked at Jon. "This is a fresh idea. Although Hollywood has made many movies about the hangover, there are almost no movies that make the most of the hangover."

Filming a comedy with a suspenseful approach is the fundamental reason why "The Hangover" can become a box office dark horse——

It creates suspense, firmly grasps the audience's curiosity, and tries to find the truth through the fog; and director Todd Phillips' control of rhythm and presentation of suspense are undoubtedly the biggest contributors, allowing the film to always grasp the center of gravity in the chaos and avoid losing the audience's attention. The whole movie is like a roller coaster, done in one go.

It may sound unbelievable, but those humor and jokes are just embellishments.

In other words, creativity is the core of the entire project.

So, Anson got straight to the point.

Jon breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Anson didn't reject comedy projects from the beginning, it meant they still had a chance.

"Yes, indeed," said Jon. "It is based on a true event."

"Our friend, Tripp Vinson, a producer, produced 'After Sunset' which is coming to theaters in November, Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, Woody Harrison, a very, very good producer."

"He got married not long ago. His bride is William Morris' agent. We prepared a surprise for him and took him to Las Vegas for his bachelor party."

Anson raised his chin slightly and looked at Scott.

Jon noticed, "Yeah, just like Scott just said, that's what happened."

"Then Trip disappears from his bachelor party, and the next day he wakes up at a club with no memory of the night before and is asked to pay a bill, a really, really, really big bill. "We got the idea from that, what if Trip doesn't know where he is and can't get in touch with us and just disappears? And we have to remember what happened last night, or Adriana - his fiancée - is going to kill us."

Ahaha, I see.

It turns out that the inspiration for this creative idea was not because Jon and Scott were so talented, but because it came from events in real life, or even exactly the same events. They just pushed the existing events a little bit to make them more dramatic and crazy, and the script came out.

Then, many things can be explained.

Now, Anson was 80% sure that the project Jon and Scott were talking about was the "Hangover" he knew.

Perhaps, Jon and Scott only had one inspiration and one idea, and the script was still not funny enough, whether it was the lines, the plot connection, or the rhythm control; although the script was out now, it had not been appreciated for a long time. Later, after being appreciated by a discerning eye, it was rewritten and polished by Todd Phillips, which led to the later "The Hangover".

The timing is not strange.

Jon felt his mouth dry and he couldn't help but pursed his lips, looking at Anson nervously.

Anson did not answer immediately, but gestured, "Sorry, please forgive my impoliteness for not inviting you to sit down."

Jon was so happy that a warm current surged into his chest.

This meant that Anson was willing to have a formal conversation with them. They seized the opportunity for a minute.

Jon turned to look at Scott, and was about to exchange glances, but found that Scott had already sat down in front of Anson, and even asked with a smile, "Can I order a cup of coffee?"

Jon felt a tightness in his chest!
But Anson looked relaxed and chatted with Scott about the weather and coffee. He waited patiently until Jon and Scott's coffee was served and they moistened their throats. He looked like he was going to continue talking about the New York air, which made Jon anxious.

"Anson, then, then let's..." Jon stammered and hesitated, interrupting Anson, but was too embarrassed to say it directly.

Anson laughed dumbly, "Oh, yes, I am wasting my precious time chatting with two strangers. Let's get back to the topic."

Jon heard Anson's teasing and looked a little embarrassed.

Scott laughed heartily, "Anson, you are very humorous. Has anyone ever said that you should try comedy?"

Take advantage of every opportunity!

Anson laughed out loud but didn't respond to Scott, "But why me?"

"I mean, this is an interesting project and you guys managed to grab my attention in just sixty seconds, but I'm sure I'm not the only one."

"You just mentioned Trip Vincent? He's a producer himself. Just look at the list of his co-stars and you'll know that he must have his own connections."

"Also, Trip's wife - let me pray that they get married smoothly - Adriana is also an agent, and she's from William Morris, so I believe she shouldn't be an unknown person either."

"Besides, what about you? Judging from your preparations just now, this shouldn't be your first time promoting your own project. You won't sit there and wait for failure, right?"

"So, why me?"

Rational, sober, wise and sharp.

Even in the face of flattery, he did not lose himself. Even in the world of fame and fortune, he always remained sober. Anson immediately grasped the key points of the matter.

Refuse to be fooled.
