Chapter 321 First Interview
This was not the first time Nicholas saw Anson up close, but no matter how many times he saw it, the oncoming impact was still deeply imprinted in his mind.
Today is no exception -
A light gray vertical striped shirt paired with dark blue jeans shows elegance and chic handsomeness, while a black leather jacket and navy blue boots highlight a tough and uninhibited low-key look. Finally, a pencil narrow black tie paired with a black belt buckle tied up the proportional lines of the figure.
A kind of calmness and elegance that wanders between danger and fatality collide to create a subtle visual effect. It seems contradictory and complicated, but it makes people unable to take their eyes away. It is really difficult for the brain to imagine such a combination. How did it come out? I couldn't help but fall into a kind of wonder.
In fact, when viewed individually, each single piece seems ordinary and nothing special, but when combined together, there is something special.
Elegant and romantic, but you can feel the rebelliousness and rock 'n' roll in your heart.
A question couldn't help but pop up in my mind: How did he do it? Did God put some extra thought into creating this skin?
And the car is a motorcycle!
Uncontrollably, a yearning emerged. Nicholas couldn't help but wonder, what would it be like to live as Anson for a day?
"Hey, Anson!"
Nicholas greeted him loudly, and at the moment Anson took off his helmet and turned to look over, he pressed the shutter, freezing the moment for eternity.
——"What is it like to be Anson Wood?"
This is the title of the interview written by Nicholas for the "New York Times". It cuts in in a different way and breaks the framework of the traditional interview. , instead recording the conversation in a way that followed Anson’s journey.
At the beginning, Nicholas summarized the interview with a short paragraph.
"When I asked the question in the title, Anson smiled and gave an unexpected answer, 'Try to find yourself.'
Anson said that appearance is often deceptive, and people There is a relative stereotype for each image, just like the blonde or the eye savant. Similarly, when people see me, they often have their own judgments, and they have been trying to find the self under the skin. And trying to find the cross-section of an actor and a character in one's self and appearance, giving the performance a different color, has become a subject.
This is not what I expected. The answer.
Obviously, it is not accidental that this young actor can play three seemingly similar but completely different roles in his short career and leave a deep impression on the audience.
Of course, this unplanned interview did not go according to my plan:
An exploration. An adventure. A journey. Just like traveling, it is good to make plans in advance, but it is not necessarily a bad thing to occasionally go off track and enter unfamiliar areas. You may also make new discoveries. ”
In just one paragraph of text, you can deeply feel the turbulent thoughts in Nicholas’ mind. This is not a regular interview manuscript at all, so that the well-informed “New York Times” editor-in-chief Howell- Howell-Raines was also full of questions. After seeing the manuscript, he asked Nicholas what happened.
Nicholas said, "From the beginning, things went off the track, can you imagine. ? I interviewed so many actors and so many directors, but I was left speechless when asked by an eighteen-year-old young actor. "
——"Come on, get in the car, and I'll take you to taste the most delicious breakfast in Los Angeles. ”
This was the first thing Anson said after seeing Nicholas.
No greetings, no pleasantries, just an invitation immediately.
Then he got on the bus again, handed a helmet to Nicholas, and patted the back seat of the motorcycle to indicate that the motorcycle was ready to start again without turning off the engine, looking as chic and rebellious as the "Easy Rider" in the 1960s.
Nicholas looked at his editor-in-chief, "Have you ever met an interview subject like this? To be honest, I was almost really moved." Howell could detect the shock and confusion in Nicholas' words , he couldn't help but laugh, "I just have a question, is he really that special? I mean, the photo is very good, he is indeed handsome, but I don't think there is any difference between him and other Hollywood vases."< br>
In essence, the "New York Times" is still a serious newspaper. Even in the entertainment section, they will not sensationalize like the "Sun". Naturally, Howe I also appear to be much more sensible.
Nicholas did not speak in a hurry, but thought carefully, "Temperament. Anson has a contradictory and special temperament. I don't understand the lines and proportions of ordinary clothes on him, but He can really steal the attention and make me have the urge to wear that outfit."
Howell raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, did you try it?"
Nicholas looked down at his body, "I think it has different ideas."
Howell looked down at Anson in the photo and couldn't help laughing.
Nicholas didn't mind, lightly shrugged, and continued.
"Although from the beginning, I didn't plan to follow the conventional route. I thought about leaving the indoors, going outdoors, starting a conversation like a city walk, making him relax as much as possible, and then completing the routine."
"But. Unexpectedly, he went one step further than me, overturned all the chessboards I had prepared, and proposed a new game rule. "
"It's not so much that I am interviewing him, but that he is trying to start a conversation. , an equal and open dialogue, which is obviously something I did not expect."
Howell-Rales is the new editor-in-chief who just took office in July this year. Of course, he was actually in 1978. Already joined the New York Times.
This summer, the former editor-in-chief, Jayson-Blair, was involved in a scandal of misconduct, which exposed the New York Times to fierce firepower, and is still launching a very serious investigation.
Howell took office in such a predicament and took over this hot potato. The New York Times is facing multiple blows from internal and external troubles. They need to be more cautious on some sensitive issues.
Of course, for an entertainment report, a new actor, and a summer movie, there is no need for the "New York Times" to be so careful; but from another perspective, if they can seize the opportunity Re-emphasis on the professional image of The New York Times is also an unexpected gain.
Originally, Howell had no special idea. He just thought that they needed to be more cautious, so he paid more attention to the hot potato that Nicholas took over; but now, his intuition also triggered the switch——
Disney tried to seize the opportunity of Anson to launch publicity, and the New York Times could also seize the opportunity to lead the trend of public opinion and defend its professional position.
Howell became curious, "So, how about breakfast?"
Nicholas looked at the editor-in-chief with a smile in his eyes, "Look, this is the charm of Anson. It makes people curious. You are curious too, right?"
Howell was noncommittal.
Nicholas originally wanted to sell it off, but seeing that Howell wasn't fooled, he didn't mind and gave an unexpected answer, "He took me to a brunch."
Howell was stunned, "What?"
