Chapter 1174 Small belly chicken intestines
Finally, Jack jumped lightly and returned his feet to the ground, but his right hand was still on Anson's shoulder, "So, why are you here?"
Anson raised his eyebrows slightly, "There is something wrong with the order of this question. Shouldn't I be the one asking you? You broke into my game storyline and sabotaged my mission. What on earth is going on?"
Moreover, Anson really has no clue about the arrangement and combination in front of him——
How did they come together?
His eyes finally fell on Annie.
Anne understood, "Audition. We have just finished an audition; it is windy and snowy outside, and there are no taxis on the streets. Instead of going home in the bad weather, it is better to find a place to warm our hands and feet."
Then, Claire, who had been looking carefully at the side without hiding her gaze, raised her right hand and put her index finger on the end of her eyebrows to tap lightly.
"Claire Denise."
Anson immediately understood that they had not yet introduced themselves, and Claire was sending a reminder in this way.
"Anson Wood."
Claire showed curiosity, "I thought you were LeVeon Davis."
Anson did not hide his surprise, "You are the first person to notice the name of the performance. Even if others notice it, they often turn around and forget it because they don't recognize it. You actually remembered the name accurately."
Claire had a noncommittal expression.
Anson noticed Ryan Phillip next to him, his expression changing unpredictably and ready to move. He looked over and was about to introduce himself to Ryan.
However, it was interrupted.
"Is this important?" Jack intervened and intercepted the words directly, "You haven't answered the question yet, what are you doing here?"
Anson withdrew his gaze and looked at Jack again——
The expression is natural, intimate and passionate, without any barriers.
If it wasn't that Jack's acting skills were already superb, then it was that he honestly didn't realize the problem existed.
Could it be a misunderstanding?
Kristen misunderstood what Jack meant? Or is there a communication error?
No, it's not.
If everything was a misunderstanding, when Anson was lying on the hospital bed, Kristen should not be the only one visiting him, and Jack would be invisible throughout the whole process.
If there were no problems, Kristen would not have broken up with Jack shortly after the incident; and Jack did not come to ask about Anson, did not show up on the set, and did not even make a phone call.
Something is wrong.
Of course, Anson can act with Jack, pretending that everything is fine, continue to extend the plastic friendship in a hypocritical manner, and cover up the superficial peace.
Of course, Anson could also just ignore it and speculate behind the scenes by himself, maintaining a superficial peace even if they were no longer friends.
Isn’t that always the case in Hollywood?
To be precise, looking for true friendship in Vanity Fair is a stupid thing. Here, you are already a good friend without stabbing someone in the back. Stories of betrayal and separation in the face of interests are not uncommon.
They are not children, there is no need to be so innocent and childish.
However, Anson didn't want to.
To live his life over again, still putting on airs, pretending to be confused, wearing a mask, and hiding his truth with a false smile. It was too hard and too sad. This was not the life he wanted.
Frank, honest, straightforward——
At least, he didn't want to let himself down.
In this scene, he could cooperate with the performance. He did not deliberately treat Jack differently from the beginning, but tried to blend into the atmosphere of the scene; but he chose to refuse to do this.
then.
Anson raised his chin and his eyes were clear, "A secret mission naturally needs to be kept secret."
"I think you don't need to worry about it." "Jack, when I was injured and hospitalized, what were the reports that were going around in the news outside?"
There is no ulterior motives or malicious speculation. Anson does not want to preconceive answers and then blindly accuse and attack blindly with anger. He chooses to raise doubts openly and give the other party the opportunity to answer and explain.
The air condensed slightly, which could be clearly noticed, and the eyes focused.
However, what was slightly surprising was that Jack was neither nervous nor panicked. He had an innocent look on his face and blurted out, "What's the matter?"
There was no pause, no hesitation, no guilt or nervousness. It could be seen that this was his true reaction.
Instead, Anson was caught off guard when he was killed. Was it really a misunderstanding?
But if so, it would be great if Anson was willing to apologize for his wild speculation.
However, before Anson could speak, Ryan, who had remained silent this time, suddenly broke the situation, "Is it about your audition for 'Spider-Man 2'?"
Jack was stunned, looked at Ryan for confirmation, and then looked at Anson with suspicion, "Is it because of this?"
"No way, that's it?"
That look and expression did not hide his surprise and surprise at all——
It took a whole beat for Anson to realize that Jack was sincere.
That wasn't a misunderstanding, that was what really happened, but Jack really didn't think it was anything.
Obviously, for Jack, who grew up in Hollywood and was immersed in it, that was not a problem, never had been, so he couldn't understand Kristen's guilt, and he couldn't understand Anson's frustration.
In his eyes, isn't this a trivial matter that is taken for granted?
At this time, Anson continued to pursue and care about him, but he seemed petty.
Even Anson himself had self-doubt for just a second:
Could it be that he himself made a fuss out of a molehill? Could it be that he is a dramatist himself? Could it be that he himself put on a big show there?
Maybe, he shouldn't pursue it.
Maybe he should accept that this is the status quo in Hollywood.
Maybe, he should turn the page with a hilarious gag.
Maybe, he should pretend nothing happened.
However, in one second, just one short second, Anson became firm again——
He won't doubt himself because of Jack's taking it for granted, and he won't start to doubt that it's his mistake because of Jack's taking it for granted.
The gaslighting trick didn't work for Anson.
He doesn't consider himself a victim, but he also doesn't consider the incident "not worth mentioning."
Anson met Jack's gaze calmly, looking at the harmless face, "Yes, that's it."
Jack was slightly startled, a little ridiculous, a little surprised and a little funny.
"Anson, are you serious? Is it just such a small thing?"
Jack turned to look at the other three.
"At that time, Anson was injured unexpectedly, and no one knew when he would be able to return to the set. Therefore, Sony Columbia had to be prepared for both."
"They contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in the role, and I nodded yes and auditioned."
"Anson, you don't think I should refuse this opportunity for you, do you? We are friends, but I am not noble enough to sacrifice my career for you."
"So, are you hurt by this?"
"Come on, man, it's just a little thing. When did this happen, I can't even remember it, and you still remember it until now?"
Every word points to Anson, Anson should not pursue the case, and Anson should not hold a grudge, as if Anson is the one who made the mistake.
