Chapter 721 Official Business
With a small resistance, Anne slightly raised her porcelain doll-like cheek and looked at Anson with a smile on her face. The slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed a bit of mischievous mischief, but Under Anson's calm gaze, he gradually calmed down, and there was a slight trace of nervousness in his pupils.
Anne did not expect that Anson did not speak, but responded in such a way, so generous and calm, which actually made her panic.
Things shouldn't be like this.
Just when Annie's eyes flickered and she was about to move away, Anson spoke.
"Oh, thank you for your love. You looked at it so carefully and didn't miss every detail."
But I missed Anson. Is this considered three hundred taels of silver in this place?
Two blushes appeared on Annie's cheeks.
After all, I still couldn't control myself and looked away.
Oops!
Anne immediately realized that she was at a disadvantage. This time she mustered up the courage to raise her eyes and look at Anson again, "Are you always so frank and direct?"
The smile on the corner of Anson's mouth paused slightly and he stopped joking. He replied seriously, "This is the direction I'm working hard on. Although I know it's not easy in Hollywood, everything here is wrapped behind a layer of gauze; but... I'm working hard, at least for my friends." "
Anne was slightly startled.
One sincere word was exchanged for another more sincere word, which hit my chest hard.
Then.
Anson's smile rose again, "So, why did you show up in San Francisco?"
Anne pulled the thoughts in her mind back, and in order to cover up her panic, she raised her voice slightly, "Oh, the director wants to talk to me Talk about the possibility of a sequel."
Director?
"Gary Marshall?" Anson completed the association in one go.
Anne then realized that she had not made it clear, and nodded in affirmation. It was because it was Anson in front of her that she spoke very smoothly, as if she had returned to the busy working time of "Princess Diary".
"The movie performed beyond expectations. Disney thinks it is a good idea to develop a sequel, and the director also thinks so, but there are still some things that need to be confirmed."
For example, the schedule.
Anson was a little surprised, it turned out to be business.
Anson pursed his lips and joked, "I haven't heard any news until now. It seems that I will definitely disappear in the sequel."
Anne's first reaction He was a little panicked, but then he noticed the light in Anson's eyes and immediately realized that this must be another prank.
Annie wrinkled her nose and made a face, "I'm afraid the crew can't ask you. It's 'Spider-Man' again, it's 'Cat and Mouse Game' again, and everyone is saying that Anson Wood is the next member of the 20 Million Club Member."
Anson raised his hands to express surrender, "Stop hitting me. If you hit me again, your face will become swollen and it will affect your image."
Pfft.
Anne couldn't hold it back and was immediately amused.
After adjusting her expression, Anne became serious, "The director should just talk to me first. After all, the project has not been officially launched yet. My agent said there is not even a script, everything is just verbal talk. ; But I believe that Disney should very much hope that the sequel can be launched. The most important reason is you. They are eager for your joining. To be honest, who in Hollywood doesn’t want your joining now? ”
Anson, "What about you?"
Anne, "...what?"
Anson, "What about you?"
Anne's cheeks burned and she cleared her throat. , "Of course I hope you can join. The filming process was very pleasant, wasn't it? But it depends on you."
"I have no problem." Anson agreed simply. Annie was stunned, "Are you sure?"
From a movie perspective, if the project "Princess Diaries 2" wants to be greenlit, the core lies in Anne Hathaway. After all, she is the absolute protagonist. If the protagonist is replaced, the sequel will just be a rip-off. Dog meat.
From a market perspective, the most important thing about "Princess Diaries 2" is Anson and Julie Andrews. They are undoubtedly the chemistry of the movie and are also a key factor in ensuring the continued success of the sequel.
Especially Anson.
In "Princess Diaries", Anson had a limited role, but he still fascinated thousands of girls; but now things have changed. Anson has become a hot superstar at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. Two works in the same year have won the A huge success, unparalleled in all of Hollywood.
Therefore, Anson's joining is the key.
But at the same time, the question also arises here, is Anson willing to join?
First of all, the supporting role, even if the role is increased in the sequel, the protagonist of the movie is still Mia played by Anne, so is Anson willing to support Anne?
Secondly, the remuneration, with Anson’s current momentum, cannot be dealt with casually; but it is impossible for a small project like "Princess Diary 2" to receive huge investment, and the production cost ratio is only become a problem.
The situation has changed subtly.
In fact, from a producer's perspective, abandoning Anson is an option.
The remuneration factor is on the one hand. Anson's presence is too strong and may steal the spotlight, so that the crew may have to modify the script structure. On the other hand, decisively abandoning Anson and starting a new chapter should be able to be the main creator. The team gains more space to perform.
However, truth comes true, and some decisions are not that simple after all.
The analysis of the words makes sense, but if we really want to completely give up on the popular Anson, I am afraid that no producer can make the decision easily.
Moreover, with Anson, Disney's budget costs should be more generous.
Not only a producer, but as an absolute heroine, when Anne learned that the sequel was about to start, she also had her own ideas, so naturally she would not miss this key point.
At this time, Anne could not hide her surprise and joy, and was slightly surprised when she heard Anson's response with her own ears, so positive and positive.
Then, Anne caught the sincerity in Anson’s eyes:
It was not polite or pleasantries.
A smile crept up the corner of her mouth, and Annie stared at Anson with bright eyes, trying to get confirmation.
Anson showed a smile, "Of course, why not?"
Anne shrugged slightly, using her eyes to indicate the crowds of people coming and going around and the two of them sneaking around to hide their whereabouts in the fish tank, The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
“Ha.”
Anson laughed.
“You can make a movie for performance, for making money, for fame. There can be many reasons, and of course it can also be for fun.”
"These..." Anson gestured around, "That's why I can be more willful. I can make any movie I want now... right?"
As he spoke, he lengthened his words and revealed a little bit. hesitate.
Annie almost laughed out loud, but the corners of her mouth and between her eyebrows were still full of smiles.
Anson also chuckled, "We had a great time working together as a crew. If there is an opportunity to continue working together on a sequel, I can't find a reason to refuse."
Perhaps, "Spider-Man" and The great success of "Cat and Mouse Game" made Anson soar into the sky, reaching the top of the pyramid in just a few months; but——
Anson is still the same Anson, the same Anson who talks, laughs, plays pranks, and makes jokes in the crew, and at the same time has his own ideas about acting.
Things seem to have changed, but they seem to have stayed the same.
In other words, Anson has never changed. What has really changed is the way other people look at him, nothing more.
