Chapter 608 Actor's Troubles
"So, staying here alone is to seek a moment of peace away from the group of high school students who have not grown up?"
A man is a boy until he dies. , compared with girls who grow up early in puberty, boys always mature later, and the chattering gags in the crew always fail to play well with girls.
Anson quietly reconnected Scarlett and the crew with just one sentence, without appearing abrupt at all.
"Ha." Scarlett was amused again, tilting her head and looking at Anson from bottom to top, "So, you are no longer a high school student? Mr. Peter Parker."
"Princess Diaries", "Spider-Man", and "Cat and Mouse", Anson has played the role of a high school student in three consecutive works, including "Elephant"; in fact, the upcoming "Butterfly Effect" has finally played the role of a high school student. College students.
Anson was defeated, but he did not panic, "Actually, I am Paul."
The Paul in "Friends" is no longer the Paul in high school.
Scarlett was stunned again. It took her half a beat to realize who Anson was talking about. It was a bit ridiculous and helpless. It’s really unfriendly.”
First it was “All About Lily Zhou”, and then it jumped back to “Friends”. Anson’s thinking speed is really difficult for ordinary people to keep up with.
Anson's face was calm, "I am more willing to be friends with like-minded people."
Scarlett looked at Anson with clear and direct eyes, as if she could reflect her face, and her heartbeat couldn't help but After missing a beat, shifting his gaze in a slight panic, lowering his eyelids, and relaxing his mind, the loss, confusion and confusion rippled gently under the shadow of the eyelashes.
Anson, "Are you worried?"
It should be a question, but it is very firm, like a statement.
Scarlett raised her head and glanced quickly at Anson.
Anson gestured in the direction of the crew and said, "The atmosphere on the entire set is not very good."
Looking at the situation before and after the contact, Brian's anger at the extras may just be an excuse, and the real object of dissatisfaction should be the Si in front of him. Carrie——
This is obviously not an easy thing to deal with.
For the general public, when it comes to Scarlett Johansson, before 2010, she was the star of "Match Point", "The Black Dahlia", "The Nanny Diaries", "Midnight in Barcelona", etc. The sexy beauty in the movie is known as the successor of Marilyn Monroe; after 2010, she is the unique superheroine Black Widow in the Avengers. Her image always brings more to people than her status as an actress. impact.
However, before Michael Bay's "Escape" in 2005, Scarlett was a literary goddess with a background in independent films, including her collaboration with Brad Renfro in "Ghost World", In addition, there are "Girl with a Pearl Earring", "Horse Whisperer" and "Lost in Translation" which made her famous. This child star girl has always had her own understanding of the identity of an actor.
Including now, it is the same.
So, when Brian and Scarlett had a conflict in the workplace, it was obviously not something that Scarlett could just laugh off.
Involuntarily, Anson thought of Marilyn Monroe.
In the golden age of Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe, as a sex symbol, her existence has long transcended labels such as actors, women, and Hollywood stars, and has gradually evolved into a symbolic symbol, so that people Completely forgetting Marilyn's ability to think as an individual.
However, in fact, Marilyn has always had her own understanding of the actor's career and acting work. She tried to get rid of the shackles of labels and symbols and present her own understanding of movies, performances, and roles.
The Western movie "River East" is a typical example. In the simple and crude narrative of traditional Western movies, Marilyn has been trying to explore more things, about the position of women in traditional male narratives, and about the weak in the natural law of survival of the fittest. situation, etc., it can be seen that she is an actor with pursuits. It's a pity that Hollywood at that time did not give Marilyn enough space. Works such as "The River" were not only rare but also had mediocre results.
Marilyn Monroe is the same, Scarlett Johansson is the same.
Whether it was before or after Black Widow, Scarlett has been trying to explore her own path as an actor. In addition to her appearance, she hopes to give more to the role. In fact, she does strive for it. I got some space and tried to find my own path as an actor.
Of course, this is a later story.
In 2002, Scarlett was still young, her experience and thinking were not mature enough, and she could not see the overall situation; nevertheless, she could not find the rhythm in the "Super Perfect Points" crew, which was still a blow, and Like Chris who couldn't help sighing, Scarlett is also looking for an independent space to organize her thoughts.
At this time, Scarlett heard Anson's straightforward question. She didn't want to say anything at all. She thought she would be angry and irritated to make Anson shut up, but she never expected that her mood would calm down naturally. down.
"I...I'm not sure whether I am suitable to be an actor."
The words came out unexpectedly, and the huge stone that was weighing heavily on my chest was lifted.
Actually, Scarlett was a little shy and reserved. She was worried that Anson would think she was making a fuss out of a molehill, and she was also worried about exposing her vulnerability in front of strangers. After her inner voice rang in her ears, she shifted her gaze and raised her head slightly. The jaw looked towards the far end of the skyline, trying to hide his rawness and embarrassment.
Scarlett herself can't explain the reason. She knows she shouldn't think this way, but this is indeed her current state, a kind of loss and confusion that is indescribable and lingering.
It is precisely because of this that Scarlett quietly left the crowd, looking for a quiet space, trying to calm down; but she did not expect that she still could not get rid of it, bathing in Anson's eyes, she said this come out.
So, what to do?
Scarlett was a little at a loss.
Then.
Anson tilted his head and looked at Scarlett, and said lightly, "I didn't know Brian was such a director whose words carry weight."
Scarlett obviously didn't react and couldn't help but be taken aback. ——
She thought Anson would comfort her, or talk about a bunch of meaningless chicken soup for the soul, but she never expected that she couldn't help but chew the words carefully, and her smile just disappeared silently. The ground crawled up to the corner of his mouth.
Yes, is Brian really that important? His one sentence completely denied the significance of her existence as an actor and overturned her ten years of hard work?
Obviously it is not a very important sentence, but it makes the dull mood clear up.
Phew.
Scarlett couldn't control it for a moment, and laughed out loud. At this time, she turned to look at Anson, the smile in her eyes brightened.
"Has anyone ever said that you are good at changing the subject?" Scarlett joked.
Anson lightly shrugged, "How else do you think I survived being chased by the paparazzi."
Scarlett's smile grew brighter, but this time she did not stay for too long. , the corners of his mouth slowly calmed down, "That being said, he is the director after all."
