The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1503: Highly Enthusiastic
In its previous life, "Children of Men" was starred by Clive Owen. Clive was an actor with personal charm, but he was not an actor with market appeal.

However, it is unfair to put all the blame on the actors.

Firstly, there were problems with the market positioning of "Children of Men". Universal Pictures lacked a clear idea from the beginning of the project, which affected the subsequent production of the film.

Secondly, the camera lens failed to capture the charm of the character.

Although the combination of Alfonso and Emmanuelle accurately captured the visual impact of the environment, dynamics, and scenes, and jointly created a wonderful work; however, it lacked a foothold, a foothold that allowed the audience to establish a connection and resonance in an immersive way, which ultimately resulted in the work being well received but not popular.

Of course, these are all hindsight and just talk.

Anson worked backwards from his past life experiences and outcomes to deduce these hypotheses, but he couldn't be sure if he was right.

And even if he was right, he had no guarantee that they would succeed—

After all, the role of Theo is not easy to grasp.

In the script, he has no emotional outbursts, and his performance must be restrained and low-key; at the same time, as just said, they are not going to deliberately give him highlight moments to create the image of a savior, which means that every interaction between the actor and the camera must be carefully controlled to shape the charm of the character.

Just imagine it and you can feel the difficulty.

but……

There is fun only when there is difficulty; there is expectation only when there is unknown.

As he spoke, Anson also became eager to try.

This anticipation and excitement were conveyed without reservation, and the two people in the apartment also felt it.

Emmanuel opened his mouth slightly, stunned, and turned to look at Alfonso blankly.

Alfonso did not understand his friend's shock and astonishment at all. Instead, he pointed at Anson with a joyful look on his face. "He is really full of surprises, isn't he?"

Emmanuel: ...speechless.

Turning back to look at Anson, Emmanuel thought for a moment, "But how do I do this?"

"I mean, how do you show your charm?"

Anson's eyes widened, and he looked like a boss. "This is your job, isn't it? To capture the actor's charm and charisma through the camera."

Emmanuel was unable to refute and couldn't help laughing out loud, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed.

Anson then said, "Or do you think this task is too difficult to accomplish? We can always ask Janusz Kaminski for help."

Emmanuel looked at Anson carefully. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Anson was serious or joking. Finally, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth. "Is this a provocation?"

The plan was exposed, but Anson was not embarrassed at all. He spread his hands and said, "I have to use some means. Otherwise, you are completely indifferent to me, right?"

Emmanuelle was dumbfounded. "No... I didn't... I'm not... I just..."

It was a rare sight to see Emmanuel in such a panic. Alfonso beside him was also very nervous, his pupils shaking violently, and he had no idea what to do.

Only then did Emmanuel calm down and said, "Don't worry, I am very professional. No matter who it is, I am willing to cooperate."

Alfonso looked at Emmanuel in surprise, "But you didn't deny it either?"

Emmanuel was exposed at once, and Anson clapped his hands and laughed, which made Emmanuel shake his head in frustration and patted Alfonso on the shoulder, thinking that his good friend was too honest.

But what was a little surprising was that Emmanuel did not see any reluctance or courtesy in Anson's smile, but a sincere one. It was either a true heart or an excellent acting skill - either way, it was shocking.

Emmanuel did not continue the topic, but returned to the main track, "So, you plan to show your personal charm through the long shot arrangement at the beginning?"

Anson, "This is indeed a common technique in commercial films. Here, we need to show Theo's state. One shot is a means to grab the audience's attention and detonate adrenaline. After all, there is an explosion at the beginning, which is completely 'Mission Impossible'."

Emmanuel thought about it carefully, "What kind of movement trajectory are you envisioning now?"

Emmanuel himself did not realize that his thoughts were quietly drawn into it, and he was not only interested in it, but also eager to try it out with great enthusiasm.

Alfonso was an honest man. "Emmanuel, are you willing to join?"

Emmanuel's expression froze, and he looked at Anson, "Can you make the decision? I'm asking a very high price. Very high."

Sharp and precise, Emmanuel judged from Anson's initiative to visit Alfonso that Anson was not only an actor but also a producer.

Anson, "Even Alfonso doesn't have a friendship price?"

Emmanuel, "You're talking about friendship price right away? I thought you were a big actor."

Anson didn't buy it. "You didn't even look at me just now. Now that we need to discuss cooperation, I am the big actor. This is not how things should be."

Emmanuel also refused to give in. "If they want to control costs for the crew, they should take advantage of you, not a helpless photographer like me."

"Haha." Anson laughed out loud. "A small photographer? You are so modest. If the photographer that the whole Hollywood is begging for cooperation is a small character, we would not have the qualifications to stand here. If it weren't for Alfonso, we wouldn't even have the chance to invite you to join this discussion, right?"

Emmanuelle looked at Anson helplessly, then... rolled his eyes.

Anson's smile grew wider, "Why don't we discuss the camera first?"

Emmanuel looked at Anson without saying anything, but Alfonso nodded repeatedly. "Emmanuel, you should take a look at the camera scheduling trajectory we just designed. I believe it is feasible, but to control the overall situation, we need to rehearse in advance to ensure that the entire scene can be mobilized in all aspects."

After a long and enthusiastic chatter, Emmanuel finally said nothing more. His attention was completely drawn to Alfonso, and the three of them started a lively discussion.

They were so focused on their work that they didn't notice the passage of time. They didn't even remember what they had for lunch. When Anson and Emmanuel left Alfonso's apartment, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun tilted slightly to the west, and the orange-red sunlight sprinkled all over the ground.

Anson and Emmanuel walked for a distance, and it was not until Alfonso turned around and went back to the apartment that the mask of polite greeting on Emmanuel's face was torn off.

"Are you serious?" Emmanuel looked at Anson. "I'm not talking about investing in the production of this work. I'm talking about completing this work according to Alfonso's creativity and ideas."

"I know you so-called superstars, you are all a selfish bunch, you only care about yourselves, you say nice things but your actions are another matter."

"You can pick any production you want in Hollywood right now, but why Alfonso, why 'Children of Men,' what are you trying to get out of this?"

Sharp and sharp.

Anson was not panicked, but smiled, "It seems you have been holding it in for a long time."

A joke was thrown in.

But Emmanuel was not in the mood to joke, "I am waiting for a response, a counterattack, an explanation, a ridicule, anything is fine, any reaction, I am waiting for your response."
