Chapter 1316 Uncovering the Veil
One wave, then another, and then another.
Continuous, without end.
Ripley couldn't control her excitement and excitement. She used all her strength to suppress the urge to scream and quietly felt her blood boiling——
They did it.
From "Elephant" to "Warm Within", independent films that are outside the awards season system have gained incredible attention just because of Anson.
For this, Ripley is always grateful to Anson.
Who would have thought that something so thankless that Hollywood as a whole never cared about it would be completed by an actor who was labeled as a vase and was ostracized and despised by the academy?
So, who is the vase? Who is the joke?
The steps, squares, and streets in front of the Angelica Film Center are all full of people. Beyond the 3,000 seats, there are bustling crowds standing or sitting around. Coupled with the crowding sounds in the surrounding high-altitude windows, The whole space has a feeling of overflowing fullness——
Irregular, irregular, slightly crowded and chaotic, it invisibly restores the original appearance of the film: bringing people together to peek into the unknown through the world of light and shadow on film.
Like "Cinema Paradiso".
Buzz buzz.
There was constant noise, whispers, whispers of excitement and excitement, and the roar of the engines of vehicles coming and going on the parallel avenues on both sides of the street. The whole world was noisy.
It's obviously not the right environment to show a movie in, but...it doesn't matter.
Ripley took a deep breath and gestured in the direction of the projectionist.
Bang, bang, bang, with a burst of sound, all the surrounding lights dimmed, and office buildings and apartment buildings also turned off the lights one after another. Although the hazy lights of Manhattan still supported the night, the dimness in front of me was enough, in this way Audiences are reminded that the screening is about to begin.
Instead of being quiet, the scene became even more noisy, and there were even whistles.
"Shh!"
Many people issued reminders in an attempt to calm everyone down, but obviously, this was not an easy task.
Directly in front, a high-hanging curtain occupies the entire outer wall of the Angelica Cinema Center, and the beam of the projector falls on it, catching everyone's attention.
Then, it was Anson!
"Ahem, hey, good evening, I'm Anson Wood."
A smile, rising slightly.
In an instant, the audience who were having fun, the audience who were distracted and unable to calm down, the audience who were talking to each other because of their excitement, and the audience who were trying to stop the noise, all fell silent, and their eyes turned to the big screen, and the unexpected surprise instantly captured the attention. Power and passion burst out.
ah! Ahhhh!
Surprise, absolute surprise, this was not mentioned at all in the previous event promotions, but Anson actually showed up and killed everyone by surprise.
There he was, wearing a green bow tie and a white shirt, looking at the camera with a bright smile, and joining in the carnival.
In an instant, his heart exploded and his beating heart almost burst out of his chest. Blair lost control and cheered obliviously and crazily.
Karen on the side was startled by Blair, but the two exchanged glances, and then both screamed, laughter surging in their chests.
I kept shouting until my ears hurt.
"Oh, thank you, thank you for letting me really feel the atmosphere of Manhattan at this moment. There is no doubt that this will be a wonderful night."
"To be honest, I'm a little jealous of you. After all, not just anyone can join this carnival."
roar!
Karen raised her right hand high and took the lead in cheering. A low roar arose at the entrance of the Angelica Film Center. The roaring echoed truly from the high-rise buildings in all directions. You could feel it deeply from the slight trembling of the window glass. The energy was there - Carnival, indeed.
"At this moment, I'm...Sorry, it doesn't matter where I am; what matters is that I'm not in Manhattan and can't attend tonight's screening."
"Oh. You are sighing, right? You are expressing regret, right? Sorry, this is not a live broadcast. I can't see the scene. I can only pretend to see your reaction. Now it's all exposed."
Haha, hahaha.
Laughing like thunder.
Karen didn't smile, but looked at Blair with wide eyes and a look of astonishment on her face: Isn't this a live broadcast?
Blair was overjoyed and shook his head repeatedly.
"All in all, it's definitely a pity that I wasn't there."
"But I really hope you guys enjoy a great night. So now let's step into Charlie Kaufman's world as John Malkovich steps into his own head."
Laughter bursts again——
"Being John Malkovich" is Charlie's most famous film and is by far his most widely seen film.

With a little joke at his fingertips, Anson completed the guidance quietly, and the audience's attention shifted from him to Charlie.
Get ready for the movie.
The video clip ends and the movie starts without pause.
Seamlessly.
The people at the door of the Angelica Film Center were stunned for a moment, obviously not aware of such a turn of events, but then the cheers and whistles began to surge.
Moreover, the movie started immediately, and Focus Features' opening credits only lasted three seconds; then, Anson's unshaven face appeared on the big screen——
roar!
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, but this time it didn't last long, and then it became quiet. From Anson to Anson, the same face was completely different, easily making people realize the difference between reality and movies, and in an instant, their thoughts and Focus on dragging into the world of light and shadow.
Everything happened so fast that the screening had already begun without waiting for the audience to be mentally prepared; but from another perspective, the audience had been waiting for this moment, had already been prepared, and now entered the state directly.
In the entire blue-toned picture, the camera focuses on Anson's face in close-up, recording the facial features, outlines and every detail of that face.
It has to be said that Anson's face can withstand the test of a big screen. Even if it is fully displayed on a super large screen, it is still hard to take your eyes away.
Obviously, the face in front of me is not good——
He was unshaven, his eyes were confused, and looming dark circles could be seen. His forehead was sweating and he was confused. He was not only sloppy but also tired. It seemed that he had just experienced the torture of working overtime for a week and finally was able to take a day off. However, he couldn't because of the noisy mosquitoes. Sleep peacefully, overdraft and overdraft again, this is what the vicissitudes of life will look like before you.
Those blue eyes were out of focus, without emotion or waves. They stared at the ceiling helplessly, but it was impossible to tell whether they were not awake or upset. They just felt that even breathing was too troublesome.
Getting up is the same, like a turtle turning over, always struggling but unable to do anything. His limbs are stiff and clumsy. After finally getting up, he sits there in a daze with a splitting headache.
It's just getting up, but it seems like I'm fighting with a whale.
Office workers know this feeling: everyone hates Mondays.
