Chapter 349: Adding fuel to the flames
People are crowding.
Steven was a little helpless.
He has experienced the turbulence of the Oscar ceremony, the frenzy of the three major European film festivals, and the crowds of summer premieres. He has experienced all kinds of scenes, big and small, but he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. Here we are——
The fundamental reason is still the narrow space.
The space in the show tent is limited, and the backstage is the size of a palm. You can't stretch your arms and legs at all. You have to walk sideways when coming and going. At this moment, everyone is swarming into the backstage, and there are not many breathing gaps left in the narrow space. Occupied and overcrowded.
Now, there is no place to stay.
Turning around, Steven wanted to chat with Tom, but found that Tom had fallen behind, and there were a bunch of sardine heads between the two of them.
Steven:? ? ?
From a distance, Tom was also confused, and couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't even raise his hands, so he could only shrug and use body language to express his helplessness.
What's even more rare is that Steven and Tom, who are the center of attention wherever they go, seem to become ordinary here at this moment. They are clearly in the middle of the turbulent crowd, but no one cares about them at all.
Steven noticed that he had just made eye contact with a girl, and was 100% aware of each other, but the girl looked away calmly, without a trace of ripples, as if she was a strange uncle in front of her.
For a moment, Steven was not sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Wait, can anyone explain why they appear here?
Isn’t the catwalk over? Shouldn't they turn around and leave? Why are they here, and for what purpose?
Steven looked around, but found that he was in a dilemma. The difficulty of turning around and leaving now was no less difficult than continuing to move forward.
This...
"Steven!"
At this moment, a voice cut in, and Steven reflexively turned his head to look over, his eyes full of surprise. Immediately he saw Edgar sticking his head out——
In front of him was a wooden wall with gorgeous patterns painted on it, hiding a secret door. It was perfect. If the secret door hadn't been opened now, there would be no way to do it. Determine the traces of a secret door.
Steven blinked, but before he could respond, Edgar had already protected Steven with both hands, separated from the crowd and entered the secret door.
"Wow!"
Involuntarily, Steven sighed, there was a completely different space behind the secret door, and then Tom's teasing voice came from behind.
"He likes these the most. Indiana Jones still can't satisfy his fantasy of treasures and secret rooms."
Steven was about to complain back, but he was a step behind Edgar. "A lot of kids would love it. Imagine your basement leads to treasure, or maybe there's a door to a time machine hidden in the school storage room. Even though it's not that magical, it still has direct access to the backstage."
At this time, Steven no longer spoke in a hurry. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Tom with a look of contentment. He slightly raised his chin and looked at Tom.
"Similarly, I also like people like this, with some mystery, arousing curiosity, always making people can't help but explore, take risks and research." Edgar did not finish his words, while Lead the way while chatting in a relaxed manner.
However, the two people in front of them are both foxes. They have seen countless storms and waves, and they can immediately taste the profound meaning of Edgar's words, which is directing the topic to Anson.
However, this is not surprising. It would be strange if Edgar didn't mention a word; and, I have to say that Edgar's entry was very natural.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Tom's mouth, "Who are you referring to?"
"A lover. Also a friend." Edgar gave an unexpected answer in a leisurely manner, "Be it love or friendship, there are more uncertainties than family ties, but in my opinion, this is a kind of love." Charming."
Steven cut to the chase, "It just so happens that you and Tom have the same idea. It seems that you both like the mysterious girl."
Edgar turned to look over." Rita?”
The subtext is that I didn’t expect Tom’s wife Rita to be a mysterious girl.
Tom was stunned, and a smile appeared on his lips. The atmosphere was completely relaxed.
At this time, Edgar cut into the topic just right, "In fact, this is also the reason why I signed with Anson in the first place. I became curious."
"Even if it is full of unknowns?" Tom asked.
Edgar nodded, "Even if it is full of unknowns! But for now, he is indeed full of surprises."
"I never knew him before filming 'Princess Diaries' Can compose music; before filming 'Spider-Man,' I never knew he could take photography, and oh, by the way, he can also draw."
"It's not the kind of casual hobby."
Easy and casually, Edgar successfully attracted the attention of Steven and Tom, and the two people couldn't help but exchange a look:
< br>Surprise, absolutely surprise.
Although they have seen different aspects of Anson, they did not expect that there would be surprises. This further proves that Anson is the best candidate for Frank Abagnale Jr., more suitable than Leonardo.
Maybe, they really should thank Jeff Robinov.
Steven could detect the smile in Tom's eyes. He did not respond, but looked at Edgar, "Are you trying to get a role for Anson?"
Edgar was not surprised. "Yes." A big smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I think Anson deserves a chance."
An audition opportunity or a cooperation opportunity?
Edgar leaves some room for interpretation, and there is no need to say death himself.
Steven chuckled, "You're not even sure what character it is."
Edgar shook his head, "Even if it is not for this cooperation opportunity, I am looking forward to future cooperation opportunities."
"For Anson, or for the other actors in your hands?"
"Haha, how about we focus on the present first? I don't work for innovative artists, and my mind is full of bundles; but we also need to deny all potential possibilities, right?"
Light and humorous.
Both Steven and Tom laughed, and then Steven did not hesitate anymore. No matter how much water there was in Edgar's words, it at least proved one thing, Edgar's love for "Cat and Mouse" The interpretation of "Game" is correct——
Without reading the script and not knowing the specific image of the character, either Edgar quickly read the autobiography of Frank Abagnale Jr., or Edgar had a precise grasp of the character, but no matter which it was, Edgar Degas accurately grasped the vitality.
That was enough to make Steven more interested in Anson.
The decision is not difficult.
As a director, Steven believes in the director but does not need to rely on the actors. This is a little bit of confidence that he still has.
So.
Steven spoke, "Contact the office and arrange a time for Anson to go to Los Angeles to try on makeup. Of course, after the work in Paris is over."
That's it?
The decision was made without seriousness or mobilizing troops.
Edgar had a thought in his mind.
There are accidents, surprises, and confusion——
Is Steven inviting a screen audition or a formal casting?
But on the surface, Edgar asked calmly and calmly, "So, what role is it specifically? I need to confirm my source. If something goes wrong this time, next time You need to think about it.”
