Chapter 1194 Little Alien
A kind of freedom, a kind of relief, a kind of freedom.
Anson could feel some differences in Brad's back. It was difficult to use words to act accurately, but he could really feel the changes.
Maybe, this time it can be different.
Looking away, Anson could detect the low pressure coming from his left side. He glanced at Lucas and was startled when he saw Lucas's dark face.
"Relax, Luca, relax." Anson laughed dumbly, "Nothing happened just now, we just chatted."
Lucas was not moved at all. If it was just a casual chat, why would Anson tell that guy that Gus was preparing a new work?
Lucas said, "I don't trust people who drink."
Anson laughed out loud, "Didn't you hear? He has been sober for six full months."
Lucas, "I don't want to say I don't believe they will change, but at least, six months is not enough, he needs to continue to prove himself."
Anson, "We are just friends. He doesn't need to prove anything to me."
Lucas, "But he could hurt you."
Anson, "Luca, hurting is the essence of love. Because you care, you give the other person the right to hurt you; but if you don't care, he can't hurt you. So, don't be afraid of hurting, it is proof that you care."< br>
Anson stared at Lucas quietly.
Those deep blue eyes made Lucas's eyes flash slightly: These words no longer seemed to be about Brad.
Fortunately, Anson then changed the subject, "What's more, I'm not a porcelain doll that will break when touched. You don't know that I have a lot of enemies in Hollywood, right?"
Lucas curled his lips, "Why don't you know? I'm just worried because I know. There are so many famous people, and now half of Hollywood is trying to hurt you."
"Haha. Hahaha." Anson smiled, and he smiled very happily. "Luka, I am not a king. I don't have a throne for people to compete for. I don't have a huge family fortune, and there are not so many conspiracies."
Lucas was unmoved. Anson was a good boy who was willing to believe that human nature was good and it didn't matter. He was willing to protect Anson's kindness. As for those dark and twisted things, he would be responsible for them.
To a certain extent, Lucas is right.
Even if Anson does nothing, as long as Anson continues to be successful, the eyes of jealousy and hatred will not disappear.
Right in front of you is the best proof.
"The Butterfly Effect" is still showing in theaters, and "Elephant", which was screened in a low-key manner, suddenly emerged and became a hot topic after the Christmas holiday.
A story was born at the Angelica Film Center and spread widely.
Rumor has it that on Saturday afternoon, the second day after the screening of "Elephant", the attendance rate at the Angelica Film Center was still amazing. Although it was not as crazy as Friday, it was still eye-catching. After a screening, , an audience member played a song they had never heard before at the entrance of the Film Center.
Serenity, tenderness, bitterness, healing.
That brief moment lit up a ray of sunshine and became the continuation of the movie in real life. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful moment of the Christmas holiday.
Netizen: I have seen this plot!
"Anson-Wood propaganda"!
Or, the next step is to start street performances in front of various cinemas, breaking the fourth wall in this way and allowing the emotion of the movie to continue.
Or, the next step is that a shooting video will be circulated on the forum, triggering heated discussions, and the song will lead to the movie, and "Elephant" will enter the field of vision of more people.
"Routine, everything is a routine. To put it bluntly, Anson Wood has those two tricks. There is something fishy about this matter at first glance, everything is arranged."
"Anson Wood is like that. On the surface, he seems to have countless wonderful ideas, but if you think about it seriously, he is still a vase with an empty head." "Stop pretending, these are all just shills."
"Okay, okay, got it, the 'Elephant' publicity team. Next."
"Isn't it just a performance of a song? It's as if there have never been street performances in New York. Can anyone confirm whether his performance is legal and whether it violates any New York regulations?"
Complain, ridicule, attack, complain.
Everlasting.
Everything is as expected, and there are many celebrities. Judging from Anson's current status of sweeping the army and continuing to rise, he should be jealous both inside and outside Hollywood. Even if Anson has done nothing wrong, those jealous eyes are still distorted. Everything in front of you is filled with intrigue.
Just as before, it was clear that the Internet was just sharing a small episode of Angelica Film Center, and no one mentioned Anson, but the trolls still made the association and involved Anson.
However, this is the only way to greatness, this is the portrayal of being cold at high places, and no one is exempt.
Fortunately, trolls are in the minority after all.
Moreover, those malicious speculations were soon proven to be just speculation——
Subsequently, nothing similar happened, and there was no chain reaction. From all aspects, it seemed that the incident at Angelica Film Center was just a random accident.
Unfortunately, no one recorded it.
As a result, that episode became a legend passed down by word of mouth. Everyone had their own version, and everyone saw and felt subtly different. Finally, various details were circulated on the Internet, and it has indeed become a senior movie hobby. An important anecdote among the reader community.
However, what is really important is not the performance, but the reflection and precipitation caused by that performance.
The tragedy of "Elephant" is still happening and may continue to happen. What can they do?
Continue to make voices, continue to make voices, let their worries and fears be seen and heard through different means such as movies, music, texts, etc., and then promote change step by step.
Perhaps, this is the real meaning of the movie "Elephant".
After all, as Roger Ebert said in his review in Cannes, the blank space of the film is the key point, because it leaves room for people to think.
Now that the movie is officially on the big screen, those lingering memories and thoughts are slowly spreading bit by bit as time goes by.
Unfast, even slow, is completely different from the early explosive power of "cat-and-mouse game" and "butterfly effect"; but things are indeed happening.
As you can imagine, the discussion surrounding the "elephant" has just begun.
In the noisy atmosphere of the Christmas period, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and weekends are fleeting, and before you even have time to fully appreciate them, the happy time has already slipped through your fingers.
Then, the North American weekend box office rankings for the last week of 2003 were released——
"Lord of the Rings 3", "The Butterfly Effect", "A Basket of Children" and other works have launched fierce competition. After Christmas, the box office has fully recovered, and the market popularity has reached a new level.
But all this has nothing to do with "elephant".
Not to mention the competition for the top spot at the weekend box office, the top ten and twenty in the box office rankings may not have anything to do with "Elephant". After all, the movie was only screened in 27 theaters, and during the Christmas holiday, it was screened in 2,000 or even 2,000 theaters. In front of competitors with 3,000 screening theaters, it is simply not enough to watch.
However, the eyes of industry insiders are still involuntarily focused on the "elephant".
