Chapter 559 Hot
"Captain, are you okay? You look like you just took a pirate ship."
Standing in the yard, the sunshine at the end of summer is no longer so hot. , gently sprinkled on the surface of the skin, allowing tight muscles to slowly relax.
Edgar took a breath, but his burning stomach still didn't fully recover for a while. He couldn't help but take two deep breaths.
Slowly, Edgar finally came back to his senses, and then Edgar saw the slight upward smile at the corner of Anson's mouth, with a bit of mischievous joy and teasing.
Edgar shook his head slightly and laughed at himself, "God, I thought I had seen the world."
Anson laughed dumbly, "They should be very happy to hear it."
Involuntarily, Edgar's eyes lingered on Anson for a moment longer, "The atmosphere in your family is so good. Now I know where your confidence comes from."
The answer is not really correct.
Anson’s confidence actually comes from this extra stolen life.
But Anson was not prepared to poke holes in Edgar's imagination.
Edgar paused and said, "Not like me..."
Between his eyebrows, there was a touch of sadness, bitter and gloomy, with a hint of loss and loneliness.
This is the first time Anson has seen Edgar like this.
It’s right to think about it. They are working partners and rarely interfere with each other’s personal affairs. Anson’s understanding of Edgar is close to zero.
But before he was an agent, Edgar was himself first, and he had his own story and his own experiences that led him to become who he is now.
Just like their first meeting, even though he is just a junior agent, he is neither humble nor overbearing, advances and retreats appropriately, showing a calmness and sophistication that belies his age and qualifications.
Ansen understands that kind of temperament.
It’s not self-confidence, but the precociousness of being forced to grow up quickly and take charge of one’s own side after going through storms early.
It seems that Edgar is also a man with a story.
However, Anson was not prepared to pry.
Anson did not speak, did not say "I understand", nor said anything about chicken soup for the soul, because he knew that any words at this moment were redundant.
He just smiled, looked at Edgar sincerely, and stayed by his side.
Edgar did not let his memories drag him down into the abyss. He took a deep breath, even though he controlled himself, he resumed his usual professional image.
“Sorry, I was a little distracted just now.”
"Are you sure it's okay for us to discuss work here? My family is coming to Los Angeles. You should enjoy a vacation without work interruption. I can come back another day."
Anson showed a smile and waved Wave your hands.
“Their work is busier than mine, and I am the most leisurely one in the family.”
“Maybe while we were talking, their cell phones rang.”
“So, why did you come to our door today?”
After a short adjustment, Edgar has recovered. Since Anson said this, he has no more mother-in-law.
"It's about the next work. There happened to be a script that came into my vision. I think it's just right, so I'm going to talk to you."
"Last time 'Elephant' ', we discussed future plans. Obviously, this decision caused a lot of discussion in Hollywood; but I don't think you need to care too much. Anyway, no matter what you do now, they can criticize it. ”
If Anson takes advantage of the victory and takes over commercial films, the media will say whether Anson should consider his pursuit of an actor.
If Anson continues to make the same type of action movies, the media will say that Anson is trying to become a representative of the new generation of action actors. Everything has two sides. If the media wants to pursue Anson, all decisions can be correct; on the contrary, if the media wants to question Anson, all decisions can be wrong.
In Edgar's view, neither the media nor Hollywood were prepared -
How could "Spider-Man" be such a big hit?
Without any warning, the second North American 600 million film after "Titanic" appeared, so can Anson become the second Leonardo DiCaprio?
You can understand it if you look at the huge media pressure Leonardo endured after he became famous. Now the media is facing the chaos of Anson's strong rise.
Clearly, Hollywood was not ready for a second Leonardo-level star.
These are all temporary, and they are also inevitable situations that one must face when becoming famous overnight.
Edgar was not worried.
However, these bustling sounds gave Edgar an inspiration.
“We just need to focus on ourselves.”
"In fact, you are now the first choice on the list of new generation actors in Hollywood. You are the priority for roles between the ages of 18 and 25."
"Several important things are being discussed now. You are your first choice for every project.”
“Can you believe it? Universal Pictures is preparing to shoot ‘The Incredible Hulk’, and they actually asked me if I have a schedule.”
"Oh, God."
The 2003 version of "The Incredible Hulk"?
This was supposed to be Ang Lee's first time directing a commercial film. Unfortunately, it failed miserably at the box office. The frustrated Ang Lee even considered taking a break. It was in the dark valley that Ang Lee took over the filming of "Brokeback Mountain", which had hit every wall and no one was interested in it. .
Anson raised his eyebrows slightly, "How did you respond?"
Edgar did not hesitate, "I refused. What, are you interested? If you are interested, I You can give them another call. I believe they would be happy to meet and have an in-depth discussion with you."
Anson waved his hand, "No, I'm just curious, why did you refuse?"
< br>"Image." Edgar blurted out, "Although Spider-Man and Hulk are both Marvel characters and there is no conflict of interest, Sony Columbia is planning 'Spider-Man 2' and you appear as the Hulk. On the big screen, I think it's a terrible idea for marketing."
"Of course, we can continue to make genre movies, but the image of superheroes still needs to avoid repetition, otherwise this road will only get narrower."
Anson gently raised his chin and looked at Edgar There was a look in his eyes.
Edgar was not in a hurry, but met Anson's gaze to confirm that the communication between the two parties was going smoothly.
Anson smiled and said, "I agree, please continue."
Edgar also chuckled.
"Not only 'Hulk', but now there is no way they will not consider you for projects that invest more than 100 million US dollars. Even if you are not the first choice, you will definitely be in the top three or five. There are countless projects that come to ask for advice. ”
This is also one of the important reasons why Edgar is not worried about media complaints:
The box office numbers are there, and the major film companies have their own calculations. No one will ignore Anson now. Heat and traffic in North America.
So, what Anson needs to worry about now is not not having the next project, but finding one that suits him from the countless projects.
If Anson is willing, he can appear in the next three, four, and five commercial blockbusters until the audience complains that Anson is the only actor left in Hollywood.
But Edgar is not prepared to do this. This is the wrong way to catch all the benefits.
His expectations for Anson are definitely not as simple as grabbing a few movies and leaving; this game of chess has only revealed the tip of the iceberg of its layout.
