The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1516 Imitation of others
It was bustling, noisy and restless.

The news spread like wildfire, left Rockefeller Center, and spread to offices of all sizes in Manhattan. The tea room became the busiest place. As the Independence Day holiday approached, people were almost uncontrollable. This carnival easily attracted all attention and everyone was talking about it.

Fifty thousand people?
Some people believe it, some people complain, some people make fun of it, and some people look forward to it. All kinds of responses cause ripples.

Believe it or not, the only thing that is 2% certain is that this morning, the only topic in the city is "Spider-Man ".

Even leaving New York, a breeze blew from east to west, and in the blink of an eye it had spread out mightily, evolving into a hotspot for the entire North American continent. The enthusiasm that had already gathered around "Spider-Man 2" continued to rise, fully detonating the craze for the summer season, and a tsunami was brewing.

When New York Times reporter Nicholas Flynn arrived at Rockefeller Center, the NYPD had already sent a team to maintain order at the scene.

Everything is treated with the highest standards, New Year's Eve, Halloween, and now.

After the events of "Master and Commander" and "The Butterfly Effect", "The New York Times" no longer stopped Nicholas. This time, it complied with Nicholas' request and allowed Nicholas to go to report on the premiere of "Spider-Man 2".

Sure enough, Nicholas's judgment was correct again.

After Nicholas showed his premiere credentials, he left the audience entrance and entered from the staff entrance. He looked around the street and realized immediately that the NYPD had blocked off four blocks, with the same level of treatment as the Grammy Awards and the Tony Awards.

Fifty thousand people?
Originally, Nicholas was skeptical, not because he didn't believe Anson's appeal, but because he didn't believe the rumors.

Now, in the tide of the Internet, language has also begun to inflate. Ten thousand people may be portrayed as fifty thousand, three likes may be regarded as rave reviews, and a relatively good work may be regarded as a masterpiece. People try to create topics by stimulating the eye in the most exciting, intense and exaggerated way possible.

Naturally, there is more and more water in the rumors, and it is often necessary to shake them out three or five times before you can touch the truth in the rumors.

What's more, it was Tuesday, a weekday, and it wasn't going to be easy for Sony Columbia to fill up Rockefeller Center.

However, now?

After entering the scene, Nicholas gradually felt the reality.

Maybe... more than 50,000 people.

Looking ahead, there is no end in sight. This is not common in Manhattan, where skyscrapers abound. The view may be blocked at any time, and the dense and surging crowds of people are swallowed up by the forest of steel bars, making the view intermittent and fragmented. It is easy to see the end.

In New York, the real charm of Carnival lies in the fact that there is always a new hope after a dark tunnel. You will find a group of people here, and another group of people at a corner. Just when you think that is all, you will turn around and see another group of people. They are everywhere, covering every corner.

The so-called "boundless view" only appears on New Year's Eve.

Nicholas had not expected that he would be able to see such a grand spectacle today. He stood on tiptoe and looked forward and backward along the straight space of Sixth Avenue. The dense waves were emitting rolling heat waves in the midsummer sun, and vitality was rising. The whole world was spinning.

There were crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, with joy and excitement on their faces. They walked very fast, leaped lightly on tiptoe without touching the ground, and could not help but run wildly at the slightest push of the breeze, joining the torrent to release their energy and let themselves go.

He was beaming with joy and dancing with joy.

The air was filled with a cheerful youthful atmosphere. I entered the Coachella Music Festival in a second. I was dazzled and overwhelmed. My heart beat uncontrollably fast. "...Uh, Nick, did we go to the wrong venue?" A voice came from the side.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he couldn't communicate at his usual volume. He looked at Nicholas with panic, unsure whether he should repeat his question.

When Nicholas turned his head, what caught his eye were four faces that looked as uneasy as meerkats. If he thought about it carefully, even he was shocked, let alone these rookies who had just entered the industry not long ago. The New York Times sent these young people here specifically to let them see the world.

"I'm not sure either. Why don't we investigate it?" Nicholas did not act like a senior veteran. Instead, he smiled and spoke along.

All four meerkats were stunned.

Nicholas laughed out loud, "This is the job of a journalist. Although in the entertainment industry, no one cares about the truth and entertainment to death is the key; we still need to maintain a heart that pursues the truth, which is the right way to dig out news."

"What's more, facing Anson..."

Nicholas couldn't help but think of the first time he met Anson.

At that time, Anson was still a rookie who had just started out. A large number of reporters went to the "Friends" studio to surround him. They thought they would see a rookie looking panic-stricken; but in the end, after one meeting and one appearance, Anson brought a pleasant surprise, and after that, everything became a legend that went down in history.

"Never use your common sense. You think you know the premiere, but the truth is, I have no idea what might be going on today."

“So, let’s explore together.”

Turning around and taking steps, Nicholas prepared to explore Rockefeller Center. The meerkats followed him in a daze, their eyes full of curiosity.

Everything is just as Nicholas said, in the past two years, the premieres of Anson's starring movies have always been full of fun, breaking expectations and bringing surprises, so much so that veteran movie fans are eager to venture to Anson's premiere.

Whether you like Anson or not, or whether you care about Anson's work or not, there is no doubt that the existence of the premiere has become an event in itself, and it is not just a topic gimmick, but can truly surprise movie lovers and make them willing to be a part of it.

Commercial genre films have their charm, and independent art films have their fun. Anson is demonstrating his understanding and love of movies with practical actions, which is more intuitive and effective than any interview, any publicity or any public relations, and truly establishes a connection between Anson and movie lovers.

This summer, many film crews followed Anson's lead and tried to establish connections through premieres, but -

The east is imitated.

After all, it is just a crude imitation, only capturing some superficial details but failing to grasp the essence.

The so-called essence is that Anson formulates premiere activities based on the color and characteristics of each film, allowing the audience to enter the world of the movie from the moment they enter the premiere; but other film projects merely copy the activities of Anson's premiere and have nothing to do with the film itself.

It is difficult to paint the bones while painting the skin. There is only hustle and bustle, but it is all bubble.

This makes people involuntarily curious. So, what about "Spider-Man 2", is there any surprise hidden here?
