The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 2058 Solved
Anson noticed the strange look in Rhys's eyes and paused for a moment before realizing that the appetites of these professional security personnel might be slightly different.

"Hahaha, what, are you all hippos? How could I forget, there are eight of you." Anson laughed heartily.

Beside him, Brendan casually interjected, "Don't worry, let alone eight hippos, Anson can afford to support an entire football team."

Reese shrugged slightly. "We might be better than a football team."

“Maybe, a rugby team?” Anson joked.

Ries smiled but remained silent.

Anson's eyes were full of smiles. "I mean what I say. Eat as much as you want, I'll pay with Luca's credit card." Anson then chuckled to himself. "By the way, what's your name?"

The security team had been following Anson for over 48 hours, but Anson was clearly sulking and had barely spoken to them, let alone asked for their names.

But today, in Bruges, Anson finally opened his heart.

Whether he is happy or not, the fact that his security team is by his side is now a reality. This not only means that they will need to spend a long time together, but they will also be living around him, and may not even be able to rest when he goes on vacation, as they must stay by his side.

In some ways, they spent more time around Anson than his family and friends, and also more time working together with his crew members.

Realizing this, they should not be treated as mere tools, but rather as a group of partners with names, personalities, and their own lives.

Perhaps, a name is a very important first step.

Reese was very surprised, but he kept his expression in check. "Reese Gordon."

Anson looked over. "That Gordon who's a partner in Batman?"

Rhys, "What?"

It was only then that Anson realized he was ahead of his time; the "Batman Begins" series had not yet been released, and Commissioner Gordon's name was not yet widely known. In fact, even if the movie were released, Anson did not think Reese would be interested in comics and movies, and would probably still know nothing about them.

Anson waved his hand, "It's just filmmakers having divergent thinking."

Then he looked at the other person next to him, a tall man with a buzz cut and golden kiwi-like features. He had deep-set eyes and remained silent, exuding an aura of authority.

He is usually low-key and reserved, and you might easily overlook his presence if you're not paying attention; once he emerges from the shadows, his tall and robust physique and firm, well-proportioned muscles immediately exude a sense of power.

Golden Kiwi was slightly surprised. He had been completely unnoticed, hiding in Rhys's shadow and remaining vigilant the whole time. He didn't think Anson had noticed him, or even Brendan had noticed his presence.

result?

The golden kiwi looked up at Anson but said nothing more. “Sir, Eduardo Pulccini.”

"Oh. Italian. So, you're having pasta for dinner?"

Golden Kiwi: ...

Anson received no response, touched his nose, and said, "Sorry, I just wanted to test a stereotype joke, but if I don't get a response, then the joke is about myself."

I made a self-deprecating remark, but unfortunately, I still didn't get any response.

Brendan's eyes were full of smiles. "It seems that not everyone buys into Anson-Wood's act." Initially, Brendan was a little awkward, since Anson even brought two bodyguards with him when he went for a walk, but seeing Anson's sincerity towards the little girl, he changed his attitude.

Now it seems that the two bodyguards aren't so bad after all.

The person being criticized remained calm, saying, "This is reality. Living in Hollywood all the time can easily create the illusion that the whole world is cheering for you, and over time you take everything for granted. It's not just me. So, we need to occasionally step out and see reality, and then tuck our tails between our legs and run back into that Hollywood bubble, living a life of blissful oblivion in our dreams."

Brendan turned to look at Anson, scrutinizing him from head to toe. "You are indeed an interesting fellow."

Anson shrugged slightly. "How much of what Sir Kane said has come true?"

Brendan couldn't help but chuckle.

When Anson and Brendan returned to the hotel, this was the scene Martin saw in the lobby, as if he had seen a ghost.

Others may not say it, but Martin himself knows it.

In the UK, actors who are truly trained in acting are full of aversion to Hollywood-style grassroots actors. It is a deep-seated disdain that stems from their understanding of different acting styles and their pride in having undergone professional training. It is not just about pretty faces; they even consider method acting to be a crooked path.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are more serious and conservative than the group of white-haired old scholars in the college.

Of course, times have changed, and circumstances are stronger than people.

Hollywood's powerful commercial operations have completely changed the industry ecosystem. London's West End, like Broadway, is facing a survival crisis. The film industry has invaded the market in full force, and even British Academy actors have to bow down to make a living. The British actors in the "Harry Potter" series are the best proof of this.

Therefore, the British academic school has also slightly changed its mindset. They can accept grassroots actors with no experience or training entering the industry, and even standing at the top of the pyramid. This is not a problem, as long as they are willing to return to the stage to hone their acting skills and improve their professional skills. This attitude is particularly important.

One of the most typical signs is that almost all British actors, after spending some time in Hollywood, will disappear from the big screen for a period of time because they need to go to London's West End or Broadway to hone their acting skills.

Take "Harry Potter" as an example. All three lead actors were ordinary people with no acting background. After achieving incredible success with the series of films, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint both returned to London's West End, while Emma Watson chose to use her university education to create a completely new persona.

Later, Emma Watson chose to retire from acting for various reasons.

Shifting our focus back, in the eyes of these old-fashioned British, Anson was practically a heretic, not only not ashamed of being a mere pretty face, but also continuously breaking the rules—

They like the rules, but dislike rebels who challenge them.

Therefore, Brendan's dislike for Anson, coupled with the inherent contempt and aversion of the Irish towards Hollywood, only made matters worse.

The main reason why actors Brendan and Ralph were willing to join the cast was Martin's concept: a purely Irish film, far removed from the Hollywood production system, insisting on its own characteristics and style. However, they never expected that it would eventually turn out like this.

Martin had been trying to persuade Brendan to change his mind, but he had never found an opportunity or even a chance to speak. He was also worried that the collaboration between Brendan and Anson might be very difficult.

So what exactly is going on?

So unexpected and shocking, Martin had no idea how to react.

Anson walked towards them with a relaxed smile. "Director, do you have a moment? There are some things we need to discuss with you."

Martin paused, startled: "...Us?"
