The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 952 Facing Difficulties
To be honest, although he was worried, Edgar did not regret his choice. At that time, after careful consideration and calm weighing, he believed that it was the best choice; if he had the chance to do it again, he believed that he would still make the same judgment.

But the point is, what about Anson? How will Anson react?

Edgar admitted that he thought he knew Anson well enough; but reality reminded him again and again that his judgment and cognition were still limited.

Looking at Anson in front of him, Edgar inexplicably thought of this trip to Cannes -

Who would have thought that at the Cannes Film Festival, Anson would rely on fashion to make a difference and turn Cannes into a platform for him to make his voice heard and establish his image.

"So, what are you going to do now, end your partnership with me?"

Whether he was anxious or nervous, Edgar still showed courage.

"Haha." Anson smiled and chuckled.

"No, on the contrary, the decision is yours."

Edgar was stunned.

"Now that you know my attitude, do you still believe that I am the right choice? Are you still willing to continue to cooperate with me?"

"I believe this won't be the last time, we will still encounter the same situation, can we reach a consensus? Can the situation change?"

"I hope you can act according to my requirements, no matter what the result is, show trust and honesty in cooperation, and then let me make the choice. Can you accept it? Are you willing to cooperate? Can you understand my stupid and naive choice?"

"So, I am here and I will still be here. The choice is yours."

"What do you think?"

Lightly, the question was thrown back again.

Edgar was killed by surprise——

He thought Anson would be angry, but Anson was not. To be precise, Anson was indeed angry, and he made his attitude clear, and he didn't like it; but Anson didn't lose his mind or explode.

He thought Anson would not tolerate any inconvenience and would simply end the partnership. After all, there was no shortage of agents in Hollywood. If Anson announced now that he would change his agent, not to mention other companies, at least the William Morris Agency would fight over it, but Anson did not do so.

Things are different from what I imagined.

Edgar re-examines Anson once more.

He had to admit that every time he thought he knew Anson well enough, Anson always brought surprises.

Edgar looked at Anson, "Aren't you angry?"

Anson didn't hesitate, "Of course."

He admitted frankly that although it could not be seen on the surface, Anson was indeed angry at this moment, and he had enough reasons to be angry.

The difference is that Anson did not let his anger control him and become a slave to his emotions.

Edgar immediately realized that Anson was indeed angry. "Sorry."

Without further explanation, Edgar simply admitted his mistake.

Anson was right. Regardless of Edgar's judgment, even if his approach was correct, he should still communicate with Anson.

An apology is the best response.

Obviously, Edgar did not want to end the partnership. Only an idiot would reject Anson. An apology was a gesture, a gesture of admitting mistakes and shaking hands to make peace.

Edgar's tone was sincere and his expression was genuine, which showed his humble attitude.

Taking a deep breath, Edgar repeated it again.

"I'm sorry. I really am. I shouldn't have taken it upon myself to make decisions for you, even if I was right."

Anson raised his eyebrows slightly. Eve looked at Edgar and said with a smile, "You don't have to keep emphasizing that you are right."

Edgar held up his hands. "I'm sorry, but that script is horrible. God, I can't imagine Anson acting crazy."

Anson laughed directly, "That's the job of a vase, to act crazy and silly occasionally. Hey, don't underestimate a vase, Julia Roberts got her first Oscar nomination for 'Pretty Woman'."

Eve was stunned, "What?"

Anson looked at Eve, "Why, don't you remember? This is true."

Eve's eyes widened, not hiding her surprise and astonishment at all. "What on earth happened in Hollywood in the 1980s?"

Anson shrugged lightly. "Back then, the definition of an actor was not that strict. People didn't have preconceived prejudices based on their appearance."

Therefore, in that era, handsome men and beautiful women did not need to prove themselves time and again that they were not just pretty faces, and they could easily gain widespread recognition from the academic community.

After entering the 1990s, it was unthinkable that "Pretty Woman" would be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. In fact, after Meryl Streep won an Oscar nomination for "The Devil Wears Prada", it caused some controversy.

Not to mention the Academy judges, media reporters have become increasingly harsh on commercial films and vase actors, even Meryl Streep was criticized without fail, so actresses and later actors began to disfigure themselves and make themselves ugly in order to compete for Oscars.

For example, Leonardo Dicaprio finally realized his dream of winning an Oscar in "The Revenant".

This is the difference between the times.

Eve: "Wow. I kind of regret that I was born twenty years later, otherwise that era..."

There is no need to continue with the following words, as they are very meaningful.

Anson had a smile in his eyes, and then he looked at Edgar again.

“How bad is that script?”

Edgar immediately realized that Anson was talking about the script of "The Princess Diaries 2".

“…It’s hard to describe in words.”

"They are going to put the revival plot from the first movie on Michael, because when you enter the royal family, you also need to become a prince, and then you should also experience what Mia goes through, just like Barbie."

"At the same time, Mia began to learn to handle the important affairs of a country, but it was obviously not easy, and it ended up being a joke. In the end, the two of you made a fool of yourself and were condemned by the whole nation. At the same time, the two of you collapsed under the great pressure and chose to break up..."

The rest of the story, needless to say, is the standard direction of Hollywood movies -

A perfect happy ending.

The point is that the story itself is almost no different from the first one, it's just a change of scene. With such a lazy narrative structure, you can tell at a glance that the focus of the movie will be on Michael and Mia's constant embarrassment, creating cheap laughs without any arc at all.

Edgar took a deep breath, not knowing how to organize the following words, "You know, a sequel needs to be more exaggerated than the previous one."

More childish, funnier, more ridiculous?
Anson had a speculative picture in his mind, "Using the character as a clown?"

Edgar nodded, "Yeah, a bunch of clowns."

Anson shrugged, "I don't mind playing the clown."

Edgar had nothing to live for.

Anson, "I'm serious. If you want to break the image of a vase, playing a clown is one way. Jim Carrey is a handsome clown."

Eve interjected, “The point is, there’s a difference between whether they see you as a real actor or a vase playing the clown.”

Edgar looked at Eve and snapped his fingers in positive agreement, "That's it, obviously Disney is the latter."
