The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 549: Backbiting
"...Okay, for this question, Anson Wood or Brad Pitt?"

"Oh, God, this question is really fatal, ahhh, it's fatal."

"Quick, quick, pick one."

"I mean, Brad is so hot, but Anson has the most beautiful eyes in the world, and I would sleep with Brad and then go out with Anson."

"You! So greedy!"

Laughing and joking, playing around.

The girls who were waiting in line in front of them couldn't help but chattered excitedly, completely unaware that one of the protagonists of the topic was standing behind them.

To be honest, Anson himself did not expect this scene.

he? Actually appearing in the same topic option as Brad Pitt. Is this the popularity of "Spider-Man" in North America now?

More importantly, he is now very sure and certain that he is back in Los Angeles——

This kind of conversation doesn't happen in Portland.

In just ten days, Portland is still the same Portland, but Los Angeles has become a new Los Angeles, and even daily life has undergone some subtle changes.

Now, Anson is thankful to be wearing a Kansas Chiefs baseball cap.

Blonde hair is still blond hair. Anson is not in a hurry to dye it back for the time being, but what works in Portland may not work in Los Angeles, so Anson just plays it safe and puts on a hat without thinking. Proven in the coffee house.

"So, what about you? Same question, Brad or Anson?"

"I choose Brad."

"Oh, why didn't you hesitate at all? I thought Anson was your type. You've changed!"

"In appearance, it is true; but in terms of personality, I think he may be another typical Hollywood man, a 'narcissist with ambition greater than his ability' and a 'madman who thinks he is the center of the universe'. I am not good at this personality."

"Why, because of independent films?"

"Pretty much. I feel like he got carried away because of the success of 'Spider-Man' and everyone was praising him and he really thought he could do anything."

"But, it's just an independent movie..."

"Who knows, maybe he believes he can win an Oscar?"

A voice intervened, "No, he doesn't think so."

"Ha, there are really too many arrogant and narcissistic men like this. Not only the Oscars, he may also think that he can conquer the three major European film festivals."

It’s the same voice that says, “Ha, why not start at the Sundance Film Festival?”

"Look, ambition!" the girl complained, until she finally realized that the last two lines of conversation were not between her and her friends, but between a man.

A strange man's voice.

Something is wrong.

The girl's words stopped abruptly, she paused, and turned her head to look behind her, "Hey, gentleman, it's very impolite to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."

"I'm sorry." The man didn't defend himself and apologized simply, "The discussion is happening right in front of me. I think I should defend myself."

The girl turned around and noticed that there was a tall and straight figure standing behind her. She couldn't help but slowly raised her head, all the way up, and then she saw the face hidden under the baseball cap——

呆。

His mouth formed an "O" shape, and he stood stunned and motionless.

I would like to ask, what should you do if you are caught saying bad things about someone behind their back? What if this person happens to be the fantasy object of my erotic dream some time ago? Waiting online, urgent.

Anson laughed dumbly, but said nothing more, "It's your turn to order."

The two girls were completely paralyzed. They crowded together and hugged each other for warmth. They moved slightly out of the way and said anxiously and incoherently to Mr. Anson.

Anson was not polite. He also knew that if he continued to stay here, the two girls might not be able to breathe. So Anson thanked him with his mouth, ordered six cups of coffee, and then took out a fifty-dollar bill and put it on the counter. The waiter showed a smile.

"Pay for the rest together, and the rest is a tip." The waiter shuddered, a smile crept into the corners of his eyes, and he quickly leaned forward, "I think it's a good idea for you to cooperate with Director Gus, and I'm looking forward to your work very much. Next work.”

"Ha. Thank you." Anson smiled, held the coffee tray and nodded again to the people in the coffee house who were all frozen in the frame, turned around and took a step forward.

Just when he was about to go out, Anson shouted.

"Card!"

In Los Angeles, this sentence is like Cinderella's midnight clock, which has a magical dispelling effect, and the entire coffee house regains its vitality——

"Ah, is that Anson?"

"Wait, is that me?"

"Ahhh!"

There was a lot of screaming and a lot of noise, and the small space was extremely lively.

Anson didn't stop and walked straight forward towards the City of Sound.

Now, Anson finally understands why Edgar called him early in the morning and asked him to ignore the media.

"There is no need to pay attention to them. This is called concocting news."

"If there is no news, just create some topics. This is their job."

"Those headlines don't mean anything, they're just gimmicks."

When Anson asked about the specific news content, Edgar said covertly that it was not important. Anson became curious even though he was not curious at first——

It turned out to be "elephant".

It seems that Edgar is worried that Anson is worried about the success or failure of his next work, and the media's fanning the flames really doesn't help.

Not to mention that Anson is not worried about the success or failure of "Elephant" at all. Even if he is worried, as a journalism student, Anson himself understands that media in the Internet age are all geared towards traffic, and he naturally does not care about those specially concocted to attract attention. Explosive point.

To take a step back, he does not think "Elephant" can bring him any acting nominations. Starring in such a work, becoming a waiting part of the work and making a voice are more important than the success or failure of the work itself.

Moreover, after the movie is released, the audience will naturally review and judge it. Finally, given time, the movie will show its true appearance.

There is no need to rush.

When the media criticizes Anson for being eager for quick success and instant gain, who is really eager for quick success and instant gain?
Just like the glass-half-full theory, people with different values ​​and different ways of thinking can often have different ideas when looking at the same thing.

In other words, what those who are eager for quick success see is quick success, while what actors may see is just one movie, one character, and one collaboration.

Hollywood is still the Hollywood that Anson is familiar with.

Therefore, Anson is not prepared to respond——

Of course, there was nothing worth responding to in the first place.

At present, Anson has more important things to be busy with. After finishing the filming of "Elephant", he returns to Los Angeles without stopping and enters the recording studio again.

Yea.

Pushing open the door of the recording studio, passionate arguments in the studio immediately hit us.

"No, no, no, no, the cello is not suitable. The arrangement here needs to be as concise as possible. The existence of the cello will destroy the overall sense of balance."

"I think the arrangement here is too concise, and the chords of the guitar and bass even seem monotonous. We can't repeat four chords here throughout the song..."

"Why not? Many of the Beatles' classic songs have the simplest and most basic chords! Are you attacking the Beatles' music for not being classic enough?"

"I don't like the Beatles!"

"Hey! How dare you!"
