Chapter 129 Practice with concentration
The air was a little quiet, and the three strangers all froze. For a moment, their brains shut down and they were unable to make any effective response.
——Anson’s birthday is in November. From a biological point of view, he still has three months to reach adulthood. This is a fact. Lucas wasn't kidding.
The problem is that when Anson appeared in "Friends", he was still young, but he was Elizabeth's brother, which means he was in his mid-twenties. In the eyes of the audience, Paul was a man. There was no doubt that Paul was a man. A man who is charismatic and imagines the unspeakable in his mind.
The result?
clang.
My brain was roaring, and the picture was completely still.
The arc of the corner of Lucas's mouth continued to rise a little, "Cheese."
Click.
Then, Lucas pressed the shutter, freezing the scene forever.
The middle-aged woman and her companions left quickly, and the young women also left in a panic. Although they had done nothing wrong, one or two of them secretly hid their guilt and nervousness as if they were committing crimes, for fear of being discovered by others. What kind of experience is this?
The development of the story was something Anson did not expect.
Looking at Lucas, Anson showed a helpless smile, "Luca, are you protecting minors?"
Lucas lightly shrugged, Without changing his expression, "I am preventing them from committing crimes."
Looking at Anson's speechless expression, Lucas' mouth twitched slightly, but he controlled his smile in time and looked around the hotel lobby.
"Have you finished your work today? It should be free time now, right?
Although the end of the matter was a bit unexpected, Anson was in a very happy mood. Now someone can actually recognize him. This is the first time Progress.
Anson’s expression became light again, “What, are you going to treat me to a big dinner? "
Lucas smiled but said nothing.
Anson's eyes lit up slightly, "Really? ”
Lucas had already stood up, "You finally left the food desert in Los Angeles, so naturally I want you to experience some of the happiness of San Francisco."
"Ha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year. San Francisco doesn’t have the right to make fun of Los Angeles, okay? The two cities are pretty much on par.”
“So, what’s the best food in Los Angeles?”
"Haha, what, are you envious of the fact that Los Angeles has it but San Francisco doesn't?"
"No, you are going to show you the meaning of the crab, oyster, prawn and seafood set. Please note, it is not The kind Fisherman’s Wharf uses to trick tourists, but real authentic Bay Area seafood, all freshly caught.”
"..."
"Hey, Anson, why are you swallowing?"
"...I will eat your week's salary tonight."
" Then you may need to work very, very hard.”
Seafood!
Anson's favorite.
If the price of enjoying a meal of freshly caught seafood is simply to admit that "Los Angeles is a food desert," he can enjoy it for free without any psychological burden at all.
What’s more, paired with wine from Napa Valley, everything is perfect.
In the evening, Lucas took Anson to feast and bleed a lot, then sent Anson back to the hotel and returned to Silicon Valley without stopping -
Technology stock bubble, the impact on Silicon Valley The impact was huge, and venture capital firms were also involved in the storm, and no one could completely stay out of it.
However, Lucas also believes that everything in the world has two sides. Crisis may hide opportunities, and desperate situations may contain opportunities.
Anson's idea is an introduction, bringing ideas to Lucas. He needs to collect data, collect information, analyze and then make decisions. If he can seize it, then maybe the time for him to establish his own business will come earlier. In this storm, a real warrior will not be afraid or shrink, but will be gearing up to show off his talents.
Anson, on the other hand, stayed in San Francisco and continued filming "The Princess Diaries".
The episode on that day was widely praised by the "Princess Diaries" crew, but the daily filming work still proceeds step by step. They still have a lot of work to complete before Julie Andrews arrives on the crew.
However, a small surprise is that Anson, the protagonist of the mobile food truck, did not go to the filming set.
Of course, Anson's absence will not affect the crew's filming progress, because Michael's next appearance - according to the filming schedule - will be in a week, during which Anson will have no scenes.
In other words, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go to the set.
The strange thing is that even if there was no role for Michael before, Anson would go to the crew to watch the filming. Even if he just observed the operation of the crew, he could still learn. Anson is close to the staff of the lighting team, camera team, and sound team. Intimate, often chatting together.
In Anson’s words -
The movie is a whole.
Actors not only need to perform, but also need to learn how to face the camera, how to capture the lighting, how to become part of the picture, how to perform opposite roles, and how to interact with the script and characters.
Performance is actually just the final presentation, but before reaching the stage of presentation, there is still a series of work to be done, so he hopes to understand the actors and each scene in the eyes of other departments on the crew.
There are some things that Anson understands and understands clearly; there are some things that Anson doesn’t understand, but he is willing to learn and open his mind to accept new things.
Beyond the camera, Anson has always existed in his own way.
However, Anson was absent during this time.
At the beginning, the crew members teased Anson about being shy. Because of the mobile dining car, he became the center of discussion among the crew. However, he was too thin-skinned to withstand the praise, so he hid secretly.
But Anson always smiled mysteriously and did not answer or changed the subject.
Later, the crew leaked the news, and then they learned that Anson had rented a professional band practice room at his own expense and was practicing.
The news spread like wildfire——
Gary added a scene for Michael, which wasn't technically an addition, just a slight twist on the original scene and gave Anson the chance to actually perform a song with the band.
This is not part of the original plan.
But Gary was very serious, and so was Anson.
Although Gary said that there is no need to be too strict in the garage band of middle school students. Even if the performance is a mess, it is understandable. It does not matter if the band is not in tune. Anyway, the content of the scene is that the band is practicing.
Some of the middle two students are also completely in line with the temperament of middle school students.
Anson disagreed, however.
With Gary's authorization, Anson selected three members from the extras and supporting actors playing middle school students to form a temporary band, and then the four of them began band practice mysteriously.
Actually...
Everything happened so suddenly. It only lasted five days. Anyone who knows a little bit about the band should know that five days is not enough time at all, especially for a temporary band. This is especially true for the patchwork of amateur middle school student bands.
No wonder Gary repeatedly emphasized that there is no need to care too much.
In fact, after Gary said this, he didn't pay much attention to it. He turned around and put it behind him, focusing on the actual filming work.
Perhaps Anson and his temporary band members were the only ones who were very motivated.
Fifth update.
