Chapter 239 Hanging in the air
Sunshine, afternoon, the sound of automatic sprinklers watering the lawn surges in the air. Although it is already October, the footsteps of autumn have quietly come around, but Los Angeles is still dry. , without any sign of raindrops for more than four months, the air in the entire city was almost on fire.
No wonder you can still see a large number of people on Venice Beach until now.
In the blink of an eye, the New York auditions were already three weeks ago, the Emmy Awards are more like an event from the past century, and life has become leisurely again.
After the screen audition, Anson stayed in New York for a whole week. On the one hand, Edgar needed follow-up operations and inquired about relevant information; on the other hand, Eve arranged a fashion party for Anson——
According to Eve, she did not arrange it herself, but some big names in the fashion industry wanted to see Anson. If there was a chance, Eve followed.
Originally, there is a grand event in New York every October:
New York Fashion Week.
There is no doubt that that is the real important stage.
But now Anson still lacks works. Although Eve was able to get an invitation for Anson, she believed that Dior would be very happy for Anson to appear next to their booth. However, Eve was worried that he would use too much force now. As a result, Anson was completely labeled as a model, which was not good for his career as an actor.
There is a difference between a vase and a model.
Hollywood welcomes vases, but excludes models, at least this is still the case in 2000.
So Eve changed her mind and did not push Anson into the fashion field in a hurry. She just arranged a private party for Anson to show up in front of the big shots, preferably into Anna Wintour's sight.
Eve guessed that Anna Wintour has actually noticed Anson, but the time is not right now, and Anna has not taken that step yet.
It doesn’t matter, she is patient.
After the party, Anson had another meal with producer Ian Bryce. There was no movement from Sony Columbia for the time being. They still needed to discuss it and see if they needed to further audition other actors, so Anson and Edgar Then he returned to Los Angeles.
Anson returned, but James Franco did not. He still stayed in New York for two more weeks.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
Since Anson left New York, there has been no news leaked from Sony Columbia. There has been no new talent auditions, no project advancement, and no internal rumors. Nothing. James waited in New York and did not meet any relevant people. Two weeks were pure torture.
From here we can see Edgar’s precise judgment——
They need to calm down, step back temporarily, press the pause button, collect their thoughts, and review the project with a more objective and rational attitude.
Edgar believes that after the screen auditions, there should have been actors who stood out, but they did not fit their original conception of the entire project, so it takes time and space to re-examine the information currently available.
Under such circumstances, being too aggressive, too eager, and pressing every step of the way may lose your sense of normalcy and destroy the advantages you have established.
This is the reason why Edgar returned to Los Angeles with Anson.
James's waiting proves this point.
Three days ago, James finally returned to Los Angeles and waited in New York for more than a month. It was exactly the same as when Hayden auditioned for "Star Wars: The Prequels," but he still couldn't get a positive answer.
The feeling of being suspended in mid-air is really uncomfortable.
James lay melancholy at home for two days, but after all he couldn't lie down anymore. He forced himself to go out early this morning, and he didn't know where he went.
And Anson?
He started working out, starting with physical fitness.
This audition experience made Anson realize that although he has no intention of becoming the second Dwayne Johnson by lifting irons, it is very necessary to build muscle lines through other fitness exercises.
If the "Spider-Man" audition is successful, it can be expected that there will be a series of professional training next. His current advance training is to lay the foundation.
But it doesn’t matter if you miss the role. This will pave the way for broadening your acting career in the future. Even a professional vase can have more possibilities.
Anson can’t remember who the original words came from, but he once saw an interview with an actor who said:
Maintaining appearance and staying in shape is my job. So I don’t see training and fitness as torture and I can’t take anything for granted.
Now, Anson finally understands the meaning of this sentence -
It turns out that relying on your face to make a living is such an experience.
After training, he opened the door. Anson thought he was the only one at this time. James was out, Hayden was training, and Chris TV series finally started filming. However, he unexpectedly saw Brad, who was upside down day and night. Appear in the morning at first sight. That scene is no different from the one in "Twilight" where Edward stands in the sun and shines golden.
“Shhh.”
Brad was on the phone, noticed Anson, and made a gesture.
Ansen quickly walked lightly, turned into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, and drank it down. Every pore in his body was opened and he felt comfortable.
Then.
“Ah!”
A strange cry came from Brad in the hall.
Before Anson could ask, Brad had already kneeled down at the door of the kitchen. Just as Anson walked out, a strange scene appeared -
Brad was kneeling in front of Anson.
Both people were stunned, their eyes met and they blinked.
Then Anson nodded Brad’s head from a distance, and then made the sign of the cross himself, "Amen, I forgive your sins."
After finishing, he clasped his hands together.
After finishing the action, Anson tilted his head and asked, "Is this Buddhism or Catholicism?"
Brad: His head is full of black lines.
But he still couldn't hold it back. A smile crept up to the corner of his mouth and bloomed shyly. Brad, who was always in a drunken state and couldn't open his eyes, once again showed his slightly round face that was stunning five years ago. With the appearance of countless people, those slightly tired and cloudy eyes finally found their light.
"Anson." he called.
“Huh?”
At this time, Brad had found his calmness, and all the joy and excitement were projected in his eyes, "I won the role."
Anson was stunned, and his thoughts went around in his mind. Only then did he react, "That role?"
Brad nodded vigorously, "That movie by Richard Crystal." The unexpected opportunity at the Emmy Awards celebration banquet .
“And!”
Brad took a deep breath, a very, very big breath.
"Sandra Bullock is confirmed to star."
Beautiful!
Anson clenched his fists and cheered for Brad, "Well done!"
It's worth being happy and celebrating.
This should be Brad Renfro’s return to the mainstream attention after five years. Regardless of the box office performance of “Murder by Numbers”, his name will return to the Hollywood laser light. .
This is also the first chain reaction outside of himself after Anson came to this time and space.
Brad finally reacted, raised his hands high and cheered, venting all his joy without reservation.
"Ah! Ahhh! Anson, I did it. I finally won the role with my own efforts, ahhh!"
Fifth update.
