Chapter 512 TV Movie
Movie?
Anson was slightly surprised because Darren is mainly active in the television industry. Although he has many friends in the film industry, Darren himself said that film and television are two completely different production systems. It's much more complicated, and he is not ready to try it in the film field for the time being.
Of course, with Darren's status and connections, if he was going to make a movie, he would easily be able to find a large number of people willing to help.
"Uncle Darren, are you going to make a movie? Of course no problem, tell me the time and place, and I'll let Edgar arrange the schedule."
For other people, Anson might say "think again" or "read the script". The fact that he is currently recording an album and there is no schedule is only part of the reason. The real reason is Edgar's explanation:
" After the great success of "Spider-Man", considering that Anson's "Cat and Mouse Game" with Steven and Tom Hanks is also waiting to be released, this means that Anson has successfully secured a place in Hollywood.
As you can imagine, projects inviting Anson all popped up overnight——
Everyone has their own ideas.
Some people just want to gain popularity, some want to use Anson to hype up the news, some hope to use Anson’s name to attract investment, and some are just joining in the fun and giving it a try regardless of whether the role is suitable.
Now, Anson is a sweet man.
But this is only part of the reason. Putting aside the twists and turns and grudges of Vanity Fair, what Edgar really cares about is Anson's career plan.
How should you choose your next work after "Spider-Man" and "Cat and Mouse"?
The key point is not the success or failure of the movie - of course, it would be great if the movie can be successful, but no one can determine the success or failure of the movie; rather, it lies in the type of movie, the style of the characters and the creation of the image.
Continue to choose handsome and youthful roles to deepen the image of the public's dream lover; or choose some roles that explore acting skills and break through yourself, emphasizing the actor's personal color before the image is finalized?
Continue to cooperate with big directors and big projects, and fully embrace commercial films with open arms; or choose independent films to moderate your image and pave the way for the possibility of opening up the awards season?
Every actor must think about it. If the actor himself does not have such an idea, then the agent must complete the job on behalf of the actor.
Not to mention, Sandra Bullock's choice to star in "Murder by Numbers" is an example.
Although "Murder by Numbers" was mediocre, at least Sandra showed her own ambitions and ideas, which is a signal to Hollywood that naturally, other roles, other genres or other producers are considering When the time comes, Sandra will not be shut out of the door simply and neatly.
There are countless people who have become famous overnight in Hollywood, but if you want to achieve success, you need to be patient, take it one step at a time, and take a long-term view.
Therefore, Edgar is not in a hurry -
He is now selecting scripts and projects, and is also contacting directors and producers. He takes the initiative and slowly selects roles for Anson.
Anson, on the other hand, can enjoy a short vacation. It just so happens that the past two months have been intensively promoted. The busy schedule of day and night is a severe test on the body and energy. Now he can rest and adjust.
When Anson expressed his intention to record an album, Edgar raised his hands and feet in agreement. There was also a reason for this.
The most fortunate thing is that the success of "Spider-Man" far exceeded expectations. Now people's attention index for Anson's next work has skyrocketed; and this so-called "next work" has already been arranged early Proper:
"Cat and mouse game".
An impeccable choice, this can buy more room for Edgar to operate and carefully select for Anson's next work.
If it had been someone else, Anson would have pushed out a set of Tai Chi; but the person on the other end of the phone was Darren, and Anson had no reason to refuse.
Not only did he not do it, but he agreed immediately.
Darren, burst into laughter——
Regardless of the truth, Darren felt a sense of relief when a smile crept onto his lips after hearing Anson's response.
“This is what you said, but I remembered it and will find an opportunity to honor it next time.” Darren chuckled, “But this time, it’s not my project.” “But it’s true. , I need a little help.”
This time, Anson didn’t rush and listened patiently.
"Anson, now you are standing on the edge of the wind, and every move you make attracts attention. Those who can't wait to pull you down are waiting eagerly, so you need to be more cautious. is correct.”
"I need your help, but there is no need for you to agree immediately. Listen to the project carefully and then consider it yourself."
In Darren's view, Anson is a family member, no different from his own child. Compared to those exchanges of interests in Vanity Fair, he definitely put Anson first.
Anson also showed a smile, "Uncle Darren, if that's the case, then tell me first, who is asking you to help? I will think about it based on their weight."
As expected, Anson is smart.
A smile appeared in Darren's eyes, "HBO."
Anson: ..."It seems that I can't do this without helping."
HBO TV station, the financier of "Sex and the City", is also Darren's immediate boss.
If HBO invites Darren to help, then Anson will naturally have to give face.
Darren laughed heartily again, "You ghost, the matter is not that serious. Don't worry, I still have some say in HBO; and, this time, HBO itself is not that helpful. I take it seriously, but I think this is an opportunity and it’s just right for you, so I took the initiative to recommend you to HBO and said you could consider it.”
That’s it.
Anson deliberately exaggerated and sighed, "Then I can feel a little more relieved. So, what series is it?"
During the transition of the millennium, HBO can be called a classic manufacturing machine, producing Launched countless classics, "The Sopranos", "Six Feet Under", "Sex and the City", "Band of Brothers", "The Wire", "Online", "Entourage" and many more, and have stood up to the times. Test, let HBO's existence become a brand in itself.
Naturally, Anson thought that Darren and he should be discussing the drama.
Unexpectedly, Darren denied it, "No, it's actually a movie."
"It's not a TV movie, it's a movie released in theaters."
Anson raised his eyebrows slightly——
TV movies, simply put, are movies that are specially broadcast on TV stations. Because of the small screen of the TV, it cannot present the texture of the big screen of the cinema, so the photography of TV movies It is not so particular about the picture, and does not pay so much attention to the audio-visual language, which will highlight the drama of the plot and attract the audience's attention.
Although TV movies are relatively niche, TV stations have been insisting on producing them, and the Emmy Awards also have a dedicated department to award them.
In other words, it is very common for TV stations to produce TV movies; but it is very rare for TV stations to produce movies.
Anson really didn’t expect it.
Darren knew that Anson was currently on the rise in his career. If it were not for a movie project, he would not ask Anson. After all, it would not be a wise choice for Anson to return to TV series or TV movies.
“Do you know the director Gus-Van-Sant?”
