Chapter 519 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
Los Angeles, the city of sound.
Early in the morning, birds fly onto the branches and sing happily. The traffic flow during the morning rush hour has not yet completely surged. I can only occasionally capture the roar of some engines whizzing by, but it makes the whole world become more and more peaceful. .
"Hey, Harry, stayed here all night again last night? Is Anson still staying up all night?"
"Get out!"
Faced with the prying eyes of his colleagues, Harry Pacey only responded with one finger, the one in the middle, which made the paparazzi who had just arrived at the scene laugh and boo.
"Come on Harry, how long have Anson and his dwarfs been here? Two weeks? Three weeks? They're almost moldy in there and all of Hollywood knows it. Share some information too. It doesn't matter."
"That's right. Did they get into a fight? Or did someone slam the door and leave? Are you going to stay in there all night?”
Business of complaints came.
Harry rolled his eyes, not hiding his annoyance.
"Anson is no longer in Sound City."
Huh?
In an instant, the world became quiet, as if the mute button had been pressed. One or two people looked at Harry with astonishment on their faces.
"I said, Anson has left, not just Sound City, he has left Los Angeles. I tried to follow him last night, but was thrown away."
Half truth and half lie——
Last night, Anson left Los Angeles, and Harry did follow him secretly. He is not afraid of deceit. He promised to help Anson deceive other paparazzi, but he did not promise that he would not care about Anson's whereabouts. .
The result?
As a result, he was stopped by two traffic policemen, saying they were checking for drunk driving, but Harry swore that he saw a car passing him behind, and it was clearly Edgar; moreover, Edgar was also talking to two The traffic policemen exchanged a look.
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
fall!
Harry would never admit that as a paparazzi, he had been tricked.
Anyway, Anson had left Los Angeles and then disappeared into the vast sea of people on the North American continent. Harry had no way of getting started for a while.
Since he can't find Anson, other paparazzi can't find Anson either. It just so happened that he only needed to help Anson, and he had the exclusive right at his fingertips.
So, there was a scene before us.
False and false, true and false.
Harry knew that if he told the truth, these colleagues would not believe it. One and two of them were exquisite. The more he said that Anson had left Los Angeles, the more these people believed him unswervingly. Anson is still in Los Angeles.
Look——
“Exactly.”
“We believe there is a ghost.”
"What are you talking about?"
The first reaction of the suspicious paparazzi was Harry's trick to divert their attention, so that Harry could further grasp Anson's exclusive movements. .
Harry looked calm and shrugged, "If you don't believe it, you can search Sound City yourself. Anson and the band members are no longer here. They said they need to clear their brains and rest and adjust for a while. . ”
The truth is revealed like this.
But no one believed it.
"Then why are you still here?"
"They went out to collect news, why didn't you follow them?"
"Leave alone one by one, or together?"
Crackling, there was a burst of questioning.
But Harry was not ready to answer. He just needed to mediate with these colleagues. Now Harry somewhat understood what Anson said——
Playing with paparazzi is actually quite fun.
Ignoring his companions, Harry turned on the car radio and started listening to the radio so contently that the other paparazzi looked at each other.
Harry couldn't help but wonder, where is Anson now?
……
Portland.
Anson, in Portland.
In fact, Anson has not gone far. He is in Oregon above California. He shakes off his tail and flies, and the world becomes quiet again.
Originally, Edgar was going to arrange an assistant for Anson. Now Anson's career has opened up. Due to the exposure of "Spider-Man", it has become more and more difficult to handle daily chores, and there is an urgent need for an assistant. Assistant's help.
Some time ago, Anson stayed in the recording studio all day and all night and did not need an assistant for the time being; but now that he is back in the position of an actor, the assistant can come in handy.
However, Anson refused -
From various indications, Gus did not like the formation to be too large; in addition, the other actors in "Elephant" were all ordinary middle school students, Anson suddenly brought With an assistant on stage, the shooting atmosphere should be a little strange.
Since it is an independent film, then we must cooperate with the crew to be independent to the end.
So, Anson embarked on a journey alone.
Since the promotion of "Spider-Man", Anson has not breathed the fresh air of freedom for a long time. Everyday he is surrounded by bustling crowds, returning to his own state after a long absence——
suddenly see the light.
The hustle and bustle gradually disappeared, and my shoulders became relaxed.
Portland, the city streets are filled with a cold and alienated atmosphere. Whether it is the wide streets, low buildings, or the urban style stuck in the 1970s, everything seems to be far away. distance.
Involuntarily, Anson speculated on why Gus chose to shoot the film in Portland.
Is it because of this temperament?
It seems vast and spacious, but it actually pulls away the relationship between people, and the invisible coldness and depression quietly surrounds everyone.
Of course, it is also possible that Anson's own preconceived notions are at play. He is now a tourist, and the impressions he gets at a quick glance are often false.
So, Anson deliberately slowed down and browsed the city streets carefully. At the end of the city roaming, he came to the filming location of the movie -
A middle school.
It's just an ordinary middle school, with students running across the playground and corridors, and the bustle of recess is similar among teenagers all over the world.
They were in groups of twos and threes. A group of beautiful girls were studying how to dress. The athletes coming and going kept looking at them and whistling. The nerds holding books and walking across the playground to the library tried their best to hide their figures. Under the shade of a tree in the corner of the playground, you can see a group of outstanding students discussing math problems. The troublemakers were laughing and chasing each other, startling the birds and bursting out with exaggerated laughter as they whizzed past in front of their eyes...
A few strokes of the pen have already sketched out a middle school daily routine.
The crew of "Elephant" will start filming in this ordinary middle school; at the same time, most of the students appearing in the movie will also come from here——
A feature film shot in a documentary style.
This is a new attempt. Just thinking about it made Anson excited.
Then, Anson noticed a figure.
Obediently carrying his schoolbag, avoiding the crowded areas as much as possible, he quietly crossed the playground and walked towards the classroom. He seemed a little cautious, looking around all the time, a little wary and a little envious. He looked at those figures running wildly and laughing wantonly, but their pace never slowed down and they passed by in a hurry.
Wait, that’s...
Is it dazzling?
A wave of ecstasy surged up, and Anson quickly chased after him.
"Jack!"
