The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 967 First Person Perspective
Carl Leavitt, a new generation film blogger.

A brand new form of media, a brand new way of contact, and naturally, the way of writing news and reports is completely different from that of traditional journalists.

Nicholas Flynn has also written a similar feature in the New York Times, showing Anson's side outside the spotlight in this way, but as a traditional authoritative professional media, Nicholas's writing remains relatively objective and calm, avoiding substitutionary and inflammatory descriptions.

But Carl is different. He brings an immersive experience with the first-person perspective, and his subjective exclamations become the freshest and most vivid colors in the text, allowing every reader to feel his feelings at the time through the text. This immersive narrative method gives the article a different soul.

"...I don't understand what happened, but the reality is that I should have been eager for Anson to speak so that I could sneak in and interview him, but I kept telling Anson to shut up, as if I was afraid that I would explode if he continued to speak.

But what’s even funnier is that at that moment, my brain completely stopped working. I just followed Anson’s rhythm and was completely immersed in the conversation.

All of these mental activities? No, they don't exist.

Believe me, when you're facing Anson Wood, you're not thinking about yourself because you're thinking about him.

Later, after further chatting, I learned that after Anson finished his performance in Prague, he did not leave the Czech Republic, but went directly to the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.

And I, a fool, spent a week with Anson at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival after Cannes, and watched movies together more than once, but I never noticed Anson's presence.

'Why? ' Clearly, Anson was not the type to blend into a crowd without being noticed.

"The star of the festival should be the film. I'm glad that everyone is talking about the film, not a self-righteous fool from Hollywood who knows nothing and is pointing fingers."

When you hear Anson making fun of himself with your own ears, you will be immersed in his charm. Believe me, his eyes seem to be able to see through your soul.

However, it wasn't until thirty minutes later that I realized that Anson's initiative to talk to me was not because he was bored or because of my infinite charm, but to help me relieve my anxiety.

This was the calmest, most stable and smoothest takeoff I have ever experienced on an airplane. I didn't even realize that this hundred-ton iron bird was flying above the clouds because I was completely immersed in Anson's wit and humor.

If you see Anson as just a body, you've missed 90% of his true charm.

I was eager to do an interview, which I didn't get, but Anson and I had a conversation about the film.

We discussed the controversy in Cannes, we discussed the dilemma facing film festivals, and we discussed the relationship between art films and genre films.

I can't say that I agree with his views 100%. In fact, we have had heated arguments more than once because of our different opinions. But there is no doubt that his extensive knowledge of films and independent thinking have once again opened my eyes. Such discussions always remind me of the time at the film festival.

If you readers have read this and still don't believe that this man is Anson Wood, then I will give up arguing and trying to persuade you, because you are skeptics. You have your own beliefs and I have mine. Let's give each other a way out.

I believe I met the real Anson, and I believe I had an incredible time.

With a little bit of light teasing, Carl showed his ease in the blog. He knew that he couldn't convince everyone, but he didn't mind. He was willing to accept such a result calmly.

Because he knew he had met Anson.

But the point is that Carl's narrative style successfully aroused the resonance of the majority of netizens, which is also the reason why Carl's blog post became so popular.

"At this moment, I really realized that Anson Wood is an actor, a real actor. Not only his performance on the screen, but also his thoughts on movies, performances, art and life, and his own unique insights, which is something that most actors cannot do.

It’s hard to imagine that Anson is only twenty-one years old.

When the conversation ended, Anson politely said that he needed to replenish the energy consumed by the film festival. Of course, looking back now, this was his polite excuse for needing some private space, but at the time, I didn’t realize it at all and was just immersed in the brainstorming after the in-depth conversation.

I sat there with a dazed look on my face, like a fool, but my brain couldn't stop at all. Countless thoughts burst out like a gusher.

Until a certain moment, I suddenly realized that I was looking forward to Anson's performance as an actor -

I am curious about what the movie will look like if Anson starred in "Pirates of the Caribbean", I am curious about what color Anson would inject into the movie if he starred in "Chicago", and I am curious about what role Anson will play in his next work "Eternal Love" and "The Butterfly Effect".

When I see a great film, I wonder about Anson’s performance and interpretation.

Obviously, Anson's personal charm has conquered me.

But what about Anson?

'Go home and be a normal person.' That's what Anson wants."

period.

Carl ended the article in a slightly special way, but there is no doubt that his approval and praise were fully concealed between the lines.

In fact, as early as in Cannes, Carl was deeply impressed by Anson. Although "Elephant" was not his favorite, there was no problem for this movie to win the Palme d'Or. Anson's vision in selecting works was impressive; and now, Carl's impression of Anson has skyrocketed and added crazy points.

I have to say that the halo of a superstar is invisible but objectively exists, and this is true.

My heart is pounding and my blood is boiling.

Even though Carl has met many top actors and directors at different film festivals and premieres, his heart still beats faster when he sees a superstar.

Can this be considered idol charm?

At this point, careful readers should be able to find that Carl's article... is not finished -

and then?
If Carl did not disturb Anson during the entire flight and gave Anson private space, what happened after the plane landed?
Could it be that Anson left the airport alone through the VIP channel, so he didn't alert anyone? So he didn't attract any media attention?
By the way, Anson's arrival in New York did not attract any media attention at all. The entire process from taking off from Amsterdam to landing in New York was silent.

It is precisely because of this that Carl's blog post has aroused widespread response, but also triggered countless doubts and strong doubts about the authenticity of the article.

Is it true that Carl is the only person who witnessed Anson's return to New York, or at least the only one who spoke publicly about it in the media? Is this definitely not an Internet hoax or fan fiction?
