Chapter 1279 Looking far ahead
Cody raised his right hand high, like a tour guide leading a tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, trying to gather the scattered people.
The scene in front of me becomes more absurd the more I think about it, but the funnier it becomes. Savor it carefully, and the more I think about it, the more I admire——
Anson, how did you do it?
There seems to be endless whimsical ideas in the head under that handsome skin, breaking the rules and breaking the rules again and again, bringing surprises.
One second ago, a series of inspirations and willful actions completely disrupted the crew's plans, and at the same time left the Sun Records Museum in a hurry.
What a mess. Everyone involved in the trouble was complaining and dizzy.
The next second, an idea came to him and all the problems were solved. It seemed that he might fall into a quagmire of trouble, but all was solved in an understatement.
...That's it?
The crew of "Walking with the Song" was filming on Union Avenue in broad daylight. Whether the crew wanted it or not, people came to watch on the streets.
Moreover, their crew is slightly different. They don't want to be as wealthy as the "Spider-Man" crew and block all the roads around the intersections in New York. After discussing with the Memphis City Hall, their crew only closed one street, and the end of the street was already closed. All open.
The main reason is not that the city hall needs to "charge", but that after the street is closed, the businesses and residents here need to face losses.
Obviously, Memphis does not have crews coming to Memphis as frequently as New York. Local residents are quite critical of the crew's "disturbing" practices. In addition, the crew temporarily changed their plans and filmed here two weeks in advance. The crew and the merchants in street stores and The residents behind will need to negotiate.
All in all, maintaining order on the scene and ensuring the shooting environment are one of the crew's jobs, and it is also what they are busy with at this time.
Now, Anson has changed his mind and made the crew of "Walking with Songs" a welcome target for the residents without adding any extra workload to the crew——
It's very simple, just recruit extras on the spot.
First of all, the crew still pays the extras daily remuneration in accordance with industry regulations.
Secondly, local residents can participate in film performances.
Thirdly, and the most interesting point, because the film needs to authentically present the texture of the 1950s, among the local residents, if anyone can bring their own 1950s costumes to the stage, the crew will definitely be willing to give priority to them.
So, the carnival began.
Everything is just like a Halloween masquerade, with the "Fifties" theme in front of you. Residents living in the city of Memphis are already nostalgic and retro, but now they can enjoy the theme party openly. Not only can they make money, but they can also Appearing in a Hollywood movie?
Who can say no?
Immediately afterwards, the tourists who came to visit the Sun Records Museum had their plans disrupted and became part of the onlookers on the streets again——
Just slightly privileged, first row in the standing rock section.
Then, the complaining tourists all turned 180 degrees, and one or two of them were elated and excited, even more excited than visiting the museum.
The atmosphere at the scene was like that of middle school students participating in a spring outing for the first time.
In just three to five minutes, wow, Anson was a magician. The problems of residents and businesses were solved, the problems of museum visitors were solved, and the problem of the on-site shooting atmosphere after disrupting the plan was also solved.
Everything, easily and effortlessly, things have taken on a new look, even moving in a positive and optimistic direction.
incredible!
Cody said it was difficult to understand.
Mainly due to his personality, he is the type who likes to make plans and stick to them. Everything needs to be planned in an orderly and comprehensive manner, so that he can feel at ease.
Anson's laissez-faire style of acting was completely unacceptable to him. Once things went off the rails, he could no longer control them.
Not against Anson, just about the style of doing things. However, the facts before us seem to be proving:
Adventures that occasionally go off the rails can also bring unexpected rewards.
Involuntarily, Cody began to look forward to it, how will Anson's performance be? Anson did not hesitate to take the risk to officially launch the film on Sun Records two weeks in advance. Is there really a reason behind it?
Wait, wait——
Look, he made a mistake again. He did things with a plan. Anson probably didn't do anything. He just got inspired and just did it because he wanted to do it. He couldn't find a clear reason behind it.
So, should he expect it, or shouldn't he expect it?
"Excuse me..."
A figure hurriedly caught up and stood beside Cody with a curious look on his face.
"What scenes are the crew planning to shoot here today? Which song will Johnny record?"
Cody looked at the other party with a question mark on his face. The man in the cowboy hat and red beard showed a big smile, stretched out his right hand, and introduced himself with extra enthusiasm.
"Hunter."
"I believe that your Hollywood crew must have done your investigation. You are professionals and you all know what you are doing."

"But I'm a loyal fan of Johnny Cash. I know everything about him. I also know which of his songs were recorded at Sun Records and which were not. I even know all the interesting tidbits about his recording process. Believe me, I probably know Johnny better than Johnny."
Talking endlessly, blood boiling.
Cody could see the joyful light in the red-bearded eyes in front of him, and he couldn't suppress it.
Originally, Cody wanted to shut up the other party. Hollywood crews are all professionals. What they hate most is when others think they are experts and then come over and point fingers and chatter——
Every fan believes he knows the singer better than he knows himself.
But, seriously?
Cody didn't want to burst that dream bubble. The red-bearded man in front of him might have never seen Johnny Cash in real life.
The words were already on his lips, but Cody remembered Anson’s words:
Perhaps, they can follow the trend and spread the tidbits and anecdotes shot by the crew through word of mouth among the general public.
Cody didn't understand, did this do anything? The base is too small to form a word-of-mouth effect at all.
Anson said, "Bury the line. Pave the way. We need to be patient and wait for the opportunity, and everything will naturally play its role. What we need is an impression, a preconceived impression."
"Our crew is professional, approachable, friendly, and cheerful enough. We are a coveted crew. Do you know what role such a preconceived impression can play in the awards season?"
Cody: ...dislocated jaw.
If he hadn't actually experienced all this himself, he would almost suspect that it was all an "accident" carefully planned by Anson's public relations person.
But now, things are happening right in front of his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Cody changed the topic, "No, it's not a recording, it's an audition. We filmed according to the timeline. This is Johnny's first time coming to Sun Records."
Sure enough, with just one sentence, Hunter couldn't help but dance excitedly, "Oh, the fledgling Johnny, that is a memory worth cherishing..."
Bah bah bah, I can’t stop at all!
