Chapter 394: Farewell without Saying Goodbye
Brad is pessimistic, even cynical, with spikes all over his body.
Because he has experienced it, he has been abandoned and hurt by this bizarre and eccentric Vanity Fair, with blood dripping all over his body and bruises, and he is still standing in the mud and has not been able to completely get rid of it.
However.
Hearing Anson's self-deprecation and calm and objective analysis at this time, Brad couldn't help but look at Anson one more time, but he didn't know how to respond.
"Why, are you also worried about the failure of the movie?" Brad asked a little awkwardly.
Anson shrugged lightly, "Isn't anyone worried? Hollywood has summarized a series of successful template formulas, but no one can guarantee the success of the movie. If Hayden's agent is worried that our movie will fail, he will become his I don’t blame him for being a burden to the superstar. He has reason to believe so.”
Chris was speechless for a while, “Anson!”
Looking at Chris being so anxious, it was Anson who was involved. Looking extremely relaxed, "Chris, don't worry. The movie will not succeed because I pray to God sincerely, nor will it really fail because I just say it casually. There is no need to be so serious."
That nonchalance The look made Chris stare at Anson helplessly.
"Haha." Anson laughed out loud, then changed the subject and brought it back, "But I still don't believe that Hayden left for this reason."
Brad was stunned and immediately got angry. Smiled, "Why?"
Anson shrugged lightly, "Maybe, his agent may have asked for it, but there is really no need for Hayden to leave so secretly."
" He can leave and just find an excuse, such as finding a better apartment, living with his girlfriend, or needing to retreat for a new role in the next period of time. He has a hundred reasons to leave legitimately."
"We are friends, but there are no restrictions."
"Even if he simply said that he wanted to change his environment, we had no reason to stop him. Why did he leave without saying goodbye and leave a clue?"
"Honestly, if Hayden doesn't want to be beaten by me and If James takes advantage of it, he should not leave secretly like this, acting like a thief with a guilty conscience."
"When the time comes, James and I will complain and make some revelations and hints, and the gossip will be there, and the negative news will not attract much attention. Much better than a boring message like 'We are roommates.'"
Of course, Anson admits that trusting Hayden's character is a very important reason; but more importantly, Hayden doesn't have to do this at all - —
Even if it means cutting seats.
This is unreasonable.
Chris was convinced immediately, nodded repeatedly, looked at Anson and then at Brad, "Yes, yes, that's it. He doesn't have to be like this, something must have happened."
Brad:...
He glanced at Chris with a speechless expression, then looked at Anson again, and breathed out gently, "Maybe, probably, maybe so."
< br>“Believe me, I hope so, but the reality is often disappointing.”
Brad also wants to believe in friendship, and believes that there are still some pure things in Hollywood, but reality is often cruel -
Chris's belief is blind and unconditional, and you can tell at a glance that he has never really experienced it. It hurt, so Brad didn't want to talk more.
But Anson's belief is a kind of belief, analyzing calmly, starting from the facts, and still holding some hope for human nature.
Brad wants to believe Anson, he hopes Anson is right.
But...
"Even if you are correct, then why did Hayden change his mobile phone number and didn't notify any of us about the new mobile phone number."
Brad looked at Anson, waiting for an answer.
Anson was stunned for a moment -
Living in Hollywood, it is common to change mobile phone numbers every now and then, because paparazzi are so pervasive that they can often dig out their numbers; and because flesh and blood are so powerful, they often call their private numbers for harassment.
For an agent like Edgar, it is common to prepare three to five mobile phone numbers, and even prepare different versions of business cards to target them on different occasions. The actors are no exception.
For top superstars, the validity period of a mobile phone number may be one month or even two weeks; rising actors like Anson and others are not so exaggerated, but they need to be replaced every three months or six months. It’s nothing new, it’s even becoming a fashion.
Naturally, every time the number is changed, it becomes necessary to notify close friends——
If there is no notification, the subtext will be obvious.
Obviously, Anson did not expect this and couldn't help but look at Chris.
Chris's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he still nodded in affirmation, "The original number has been canceled."
Brad crossed his hands on his chest and looked at Anson with interest, waiting for a reply.
Anson spread his hands, "Okay, then I might be wrong."
That's it?
Admit your mistake so simply and neatly?
Brad was caught off guard when he was killed. He thought Anson would continue to be harsh. For a moment, it was difficult for him to tell whether he was happy or frustrated.
On the one hand, he is happy that he is right.
But on the other hand, he hoped Anson could give him a different answer.
Chris was much simpler and exclaimed, "Anson!"
Anson spread his hands.
Chris felt suffocated.
Anson then said, "What I mean is that things are obviously abnormal. Not only are they suspicious, but they are also inexplicable and there is no reasonable explanation."
"Of course, Brad may Yes, sometimes the answer is the simplest, even though none of us want that answer to be correct."
"But the question mark is still there."
"I think. , instead of us speculating here, positive and negative, trying to convince each other but unable to find the correct answer; it is better to be patient for the time being and ask Hayden face to face next time.”
"Listen to his answer and then judge."
Anson understands that people are subjective. When thinking about problems, they are always accustomed to starting from their own perspective and describing a fact according to their own wishes, but Facts do not represent the truth, and sometimes they are completely different.
He himself had experienced it in his previous life.
After what happened to his father, he and his mother fled in a hurry like bereaved dogs and did not contact any friends, not only because they did not have such energy, but also because they were ashamed and embarrassed and did not know how to speak.
The initial opportunity is missed, and then there is no chance to speak again.
Until he met his friends again later, they were angry, complained, complained, and ridiculed, thinking that he did not treat them as friends, but he could not refute it. Thousands of words finally settled down and turned into an apology.
In those years, he really kept apologizing to the victims, friends and colleagues at work, but no one was ever willing to listen to his story.
Of course, Anson didn't mean that something might happen to Hayden. The matter shouldn't be that serious, otherwise the news would have already reported it.
He just thought that maybe he couldn't continue to defend Hayden, but at least they should give Hayden a chance to see what happened, and wait until then to judge whether this friendship was worth continuing.
Even so, it’s still not too late.
Brad looked at Anson quietly, and couldn't help but calm down. The irritability, sharpness, and edge all quietly calmed down.
