Chapter 709: Layers of Matryoshka
“No, oh, no, no, no, it’s not designed, it’s just an inspiration that bursts out of my mind.”
When Travis was When The New Yorker asked to restore the scene, faced with the question that caused boos, the young college student had to wave his hands repeatedly to clarify himself to avoid further misunderstandings.
"Following Anson's answer, and also in response to the recent controversy, the question came to my mind, so I spoke."
"But I didn't expect that, Anson gave such a clever answer and elicited such a strong reaction.”
"'A movie is just a movie.' This is a simple truth, isn't it?"
When the flash mob event in Washington Square ended, news media from the entire North American continent and even the world came to focus.
Because this is a new history of film promotion methods, even after expectations have been rising and the event has become routine and lacks new ideas, Anson still brings surprises again and adds to the event in a grand way. The end——
According to incomplete statistics, at least 10,000 spectators were mobilized in Washington Square that night, or even more, and it became a hot topic throughout New York’s sleepless nights, creating a scene comparable to New Year’s Eve The sensation and heat wave.
Moreover, because the conversation between Anson and Travis inadvertently created controversy, the slogan "A movie is just a movie" was laid out in a grand and powerful way, and it became an incredible "cat-and-mouse game". "Create a fourth wave.
Not to mention Travis, even Anson and Edgar themselves didn't think of it. How could they get out of the circle with just a casual sentence?
However, this is the reality -
The hot spot is up. In line with the Christmas and New Year atmosphere, "Cat and Mouse Game" will undoubtedly become a movie not to be missed during this year's holiday season.
And that's not all.
The real hero of the reason why hot spots can break out of the circle and why the "cat and mouse game" can become the biggest winner is Anson.
After the cheers in the audience calmed down a bit, Travis, who had regained his sense and calmness, finally asked the questions in his plan, and Anson also answered them one by one.
Among them, Travis asked a question.
"Anson, in this movie, you and Tom performed wonderfully opposite each other. For you, how did you create this character?"
The question itself is quite satisfactory. , there is nothing new, even if it is not Travis, ordinary viewers or other media will ask similar questions; the point is, Anson’s answer became another highlight of the night.
“I’m not sure if this sounds like a matryoshka doll, but personally I play Frank Abagnale Jr. as a fictional character.”
What nonsense is this?
Anson laughed at himself.
“Yes, I know how ridiculous my words are.”
The scene burst into laughter.
“What I mean is that when little Frank became a pilot, a doctor, and different roles, he was not only performing, but also fictionalizing a perfect world in his mind, a world without worries, pain, and everything according to himself. A perfect world built by imagination.”
"It's like a movie. Of course, we can also say it's our dream, an illusion."
"In fact, it has been like this from the beginning."
"Father gets the honor , parents are in perfect love, little Frank is living in a fairy tale, and Steven's movie shots build such a perfect world, everything is so beautiful that it has no sense of reality."
"So, whenever this is perfect. When flaws and cracks appeared in the world, little Frank tried to escape and rebuild a new world. He kept running away in one hallucination after another. "
"Similarly, he also noticed it himself. Realizing that all this is false, he has been suspended in mid-air, unable to settle down. He needs to find the truth, but he is afraid that the truth will destroy him. ”
"And Tom, I mean FBI agent Carl Hanratty is like an NPC in the game, chasing him all the time. This is his only connection with the real world."
"He is confused when he is alone. At that time, the only source of truth that he could grasp and feel was Karl.”
“For me, the process of interpreting this character is the process of returning to reality bit by bit, all the time. Escape, travel through different hallucinations, try to forget the pain of reality, but finally return to reality, feel the weight of gravity with your feet."
"Strictly speaking, until the last scene, that's all. It's the real Frank Abagnale Jr."
"So..." Bang bang.
The applause can’t wait to come to mind.
“So, in the movie, I performed a character’s process from acting to returning to reality. I’m not sure if such a matryoshka doll makes sense, but...”
Hahaha.
Laughter mixed with applause sounded again.
And after Anson smiled and put down the microphone, it exploded.
Bah bang bang!
Thundering applause swept the audience.
Including Nicholas was no exception, sincerely applauding Anson.
Because of Anson's sincerity, even if this was just a promotional event, even if it was just free publicity held in Washington Square, he still gave a professional and profound response, without any response at all——
< br>
The entire audience was silent and focused.
Because of Anson's profoundness, he interprets the "cat-and-mouse game" in another way.
A coming-of-age story?
This interpretation is too simple. This is the most obvious way of interpretation. Everyone can see the father-son relationship between Frank Jr. and Carl.
There really aren’t many works like this in Hollywood——
Everyone has “daddy issues.”
However, Anson gave another possibility, viewing Little Frank's experience as a movie or a game, traveling through different fairy tales and finally returning to reality. The movie immediately has a different charm.
There are not many works like this in Hollywood.
If this is the case, Steven's retro, relaxed and playful image style and narrative tone suddenly become brilliant and exciting.
Just like the beginning of a movie, a TV show, a fictional stage.
Wonderful, wonderful beyond words.
Everything stems from Anson’s words, which sparked widespread discussion after the event.
Indeed, a movie is just a movie, there is no need to make a fuss over a movie.
But at the same time, movies are more than just movies, they can become the soil for imagination and creation.
So, the hot spot exploded.
However, the real key to getting out of the circle lies in Anson's next move.
"The movie is like this, and it is the same tonight."
"I am not an actor, but an audience, an ordinary movie lover. I am very sorry to have just disturbed your enjoyment. It’s movie time, but if you don’t mind, I hope we can continue.”
The whole audience was stunned.
Even Travis stammered and asked, "What, what does this mean?"
Anson smiled, "I left the stage, returned to the ground, returned to reality, returned to my identity as an audience, and watched 'Superman 2' with you. What do you think?"
What...what?
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire Washington Square was stunned.
Who would have thought that the real climax has just begun now?
