Chapter 121 Crew visit
Serious, deep, and not angry, his unhurried words also revealed a trace of doubt in the protracted tail, and the air condensed in an instant.
However.
Unexpectedly, Anson faced Gary's gaze with a calm face, and gave an affirmative answer in an upright and confident manner.
“Yes, sir.”
Short and beneficial.
Without any excuse or unnecessary explanation, he just admitted it.
But such frankness was accompanied by a sincerity rarely seen in Hollywood, which prevented Gary from tightening his expression and slightly raised the smile on his lips.
"If you mess up, it's your responsibility." The words are still meaningful.
Anson nodded, "If it's successful?"
That's Anson's credit.
This is risk, and you need to bear the consequences of success and failure yourself.
Gary could hear the deep meaning in Anson's words, and a smile crept up his face, "You boy, you are still young, you are not afraid of anything. Ah, it's great to be young."
Anson , not young at all.
In fact, his mentality is very old, after all, he has gone through countless ups and downs and bumpy years; but in his new life, he wants to seize every moment and not wait until the end of his life to prepare to enjoy life.
Even if he doesn't want to or dare not, Anson is actively making some attempts.
What if it fails?
So what, at least he tried.
However, Gary does not need to know these details.
Gary looked at Anson with a sunny smile, and his thoughts came back, "So, do you already have an idea? About the band's original track?"
Anson let out a long breath, "I've already said the big words. If you don't have any ideas, you have to come up with some ideas, otherwise you will be embarrassed."
As he spoke, he looked hesitant, but Gary laughed heartily and patted Anson hard on the back, "Then I'll wait and see."
Obviously, creating music is not an easy task, but he has some ideas .
In his previous life, when he was young and frivolous, he once dreamed of a life of standing on stage and touching people's hearts with music. He also once dreamed of a life of a wandering musician, wandering around the world with a guitar on his back, playing melodies and singing on the streets. , let your music become a part of others' journey.
However, he was not able to persevere after all. The burden of life weighed heavily on his shoulders, and his bright and splendid dreams were soon submerged in the day-to-day work and cast a thick layer of mist. The layer of dust can no longer see the light, and the fantasy of youth has never been awakened.
Maybe, he can give his dream another chance -
Anyway, Gary said that the music of teenage garage bands is inherently good and bad. This is not the focus of the movie, just like the music Anson studied and Just like the books, it's just an extension of the character.
It sounds ugly. Noisy. Psychedelic.
This is also the unique charm of Michael.
So, Anson can try as boldly and boldly as he likes.
Even if you fail, you should seize the opportunity to enjoy everything in front of you and live up to your second life.
So.
On the crew bus back to the Fairmont Resort, Anson was thinking.
Michael likes blues rock and British rock, including but not limited to the Beatles, Beach Boys, etc. When researching the role, Anson carefully listened to a lot of music from the 1960s and 1970s, not just the above. Those, as well as the psychedelic rock, avant-garde rock, experimental rock, etc. that are emerging one after another. Interestingly, garage rock was born in the sixties.
At that time, rock and roll was popular all over the world. Countless high school students practiced band in their garages, so it was called garage rock. Their music was simple and primitive. It mainly described high school life or social environment and vented their emotions.
Garage rock can be seen as the predecessor of punk rock.
At the same time, looking at it from another perspective, the 1990s were completely different.
Grunge rock, British rock and pop punk have fully occupied the market, representing different styles, different types and different definitions, reawakening the rock craze.
So, Michael, who is practicing the band in the garage, will he choose the rock of the 1960s, or will he choose the rock of the 90s to keep pace with the times?
Anson has said before that Michael is a teenager with his own ideas. He does not reject trends and does not deliberately choose alternatives to show his specialness. However, his choices always go through his own thinking and are not blind.
So, Anson thought, maybe Michael would choose the garage rock genre, especially punk, which could not only show his love for the culture of the 1960s, but also show his keen grasp of the development context of the times.
Of course, another reason is Disney -
"Princess Diaries" is a work produced and distributed by Disney. In order to fit the market, it must be rated for all ages, which means that they The band inside will not be allowed to perform that is too explicit, angry or shrill.
Otherwise, all Anson's efforts will be in vain.
In fact, the punk revival of the 1990s lacked the anger and irritability of the past. Bands led by Green-Day and My-Chemical-Romance were often cheerful and positive, and gave birth to many A romantic love song with a youthful flavor.
This is just right.
After all, Michael's band performance not only needs to show his charm and fill out the character; he also needs to secretly express his feelings to Mia and enrich the plot.
In an instant, the whole idea became three-dimensional.
Slowly, the bus stopped.
Anson pulled away from his thoughts and arrived at the destination in a blink of an eye. Looking ahead, the actors and staff were preparing to get off the bus one after another; the chattering and noisy appearance was exactly like the scene of a middle school outing, and the entire crew was going up and down. It's fun.
Can this be regarded as a benefit that there are no big-name actors in the crew and they are all young newcomers?
But I don’t know if Julie Andrews will change after joining the cast.
Anson, still not in a hurry, almost all the people waiting on the bus had left, so he got off the bus leisurely.
Before he had time to leave the carriage, he saw Anne Hathaway passing by with a drink in her hand. Anson was about to make a joke about Anne, but he was so fast that he didn't expect Anne to speak first.
"Thank you, Anson!"
Anson:? ? ?
Anson was not sure either, "You're welcome?"
His head was full of question marks.
But before Anson could speak, Annie had already turned around and rushed into the hotel lobby. Her joy could be seen from her back, which made Anson even more confused.
Immediately afterwards, Anson saw a lighting engineer coming from the direction of Annie, also holding a drink in his hand. Judging from the outer packaging, it seemed to be from the same store.
Anson struck preemptively, "What's wrong with Annie?"
Unexpectedly, the lighting engineer did not answer. Instead, he showed a big smile and raised the disposable paper cup in his hand. , "Anson, thank you!"
Anson:?
Who can explain to him what's going on? Even if you want to thank him, at least let him know what he has done. Could it be that who did good deeds without leaving a name but ended up on Anson's head?
Is there such a good thing?
Second update. Additional updates in the evening.
