Chapter 755 Self-Introduction
There is no such thing as a free lunch, especially in Hollywood.
Charlie has long seen through Anson's trick, but he has never exposed it, mainly because the dialogue is interesting and the collision of whimsical ideas makes him enjoy it.
I can’t help but look at it differently.
And now, once again, Anson brings another surprise.
Charlie didn't speak, just looked at Anson, but Anson didn't panic and lightly shrugged, "It seems that I still need to keep working hard, and my recognition is not enough."
From self-praise to self-deprecation, seamless Connection, free conversion.
Then.
Anson turned to face Charlie's gaze, "So, does this mean you also heard my name? Even the screenwriter who was busy writing the script heard my name. I am officially entering. Have you joined the competition? ”
Be honest, honest and upright.
Charlie was a little surprised that these qualities, which had long been eliminated, despised and even attacked in Hollywood, were actually found in Anson.
Combined with the recent momentum, it is even more rare.
Charlie also made a joke, "If Anson Wood can't enter the competition, then I really don't know who else can."
"Jim Carrey? Nicolas Cage? Tom Cruise?" Anson started cracking his fingers.
When they said the last name, Anson and Charlie exchanged glances, and then looked at Nicole not far ahead. Smiles climbed to the corners of their mouths, and they almost laughed out loud.
Charlie's whole body relaxed -
This is the truth, his stomach did have a spasm just now, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was nervousness or hunger, or whether he walked out of his small room and entered Uneasiness and anxiety began to erupt in the turbulent and noisy crowd. In short, it seemed as if a small fire was burning in the stomach.
But now, it has quietly stretched.
The thoughts wandering in the chaos and darkness also returned to his head. Of course, Charlie looked at Anson curiously, "Are you also interested in dreams?"
"Of course. ." Anson nodded.
At this time, Anson was not joking and showed some sincerity.
“In other words, I am interested in escaping from reality. Isn’t that what making movies is? Build a world based on reality, allowing us to escape reality for a short time, enter another character to explore the unknown and explore life, etc. When it ends, return to reality and end the fantasy."
"When you look at reality again, there will be some changes."
"I think this is a change. An interesting thing."
Charlie raised his chin slightly. The actors and screenwriters looked at things from different angles, but what was even more interesting was, "You are a person with a glass half full."
In the half-glass-of-water theory, some people see "the glass of water is only half-full", which is pessimism; others see "the glass of water is still half-full", which is optimism.
Although it is not absolute, it can indeed get a glimpse of a person's perspective and attitude towards things.
Charlie belongs to the former, he is pessimistic, even desperate and dark; while Anson belongs to the latter...?
Hearing Charlie's words, Anson burst into laughter, "I'm working hard."
In fact, in essence, Anson and Charlie belong to the former, because the experience in his previous life is too profound. He didn't dare to have a glimmer of hope. Once his hope was extinguished, he might fall into an even scarier and worse abyss. Over time, he began to get used to walking in pessimism.
Now, in his second life, Anson is trying to change himself.
He hopes that he can face his past life calmly, embrace the past calmly, not be entangled by the past, enjoy the present, and seize every moment in front of him.
Charlie is thoughtful, but there is so much complexity and depth in a simple sentence that only those who have truly experienced darkness can appreciate it.
Charlie became curious——
Anson Wood, in the media, in Hollywood rumors, and on the movie screen, has shown too many faces, and seems to have formed a stereotype; However, beneath that shiny exterior lies a soul of depth and breadth.
Same as Marilyn Monroe. Charlie was about to speak and explore further, but the field of vision in front of him suddenly widened:
The banquet hall is here.
At a glance from the open door, you can see the hustle and bustle inside, with fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, people drinking wine, and the atmosphere of the award ceremony.
At a glance, Charlie could see the peripheral vision of those social masters, always paying attention to the figures appearing at the entrance of the banquet hall and preparing to react. At this time, seeing the combination of Charlie and Anson, many Everyone is ready to move.
Charlie knew this wasn't the best place to continue the conversation.
Slightly regretful.
Charlie was organizing his words, but he didn’t expect that Anson would take the lead this time.
Turn around, face Charlie generously, stretch out your right hand, "Wood. Anson Wood."
Is this... self-introduction?
Charlie was stunned, they already knew each other, didn't they?
Raising his head, Charlie looked at Anson. There was a slight smile and endless depth hidden in his eyes. Charlie understood immediately.
The Anson Wood in front of me is not the Anson Wood that everyone sees.
But what is reality?
Then they need to explore it themselves, so the self-introduction here is an invitation to become friends.
The smile on Charlie's lips naturally rose. He liked this young man, "Charlie Kaufman."
Charlie held Anson's right hand, "Were you just imitating James Bond?"< br>
Anson shook his head, "I don't drink martinis."
"Haha." Charlie couldn't hold it back and laughed loudly.
But Ansen did not stop. He let go of his right hand, turned around and took the lead to enter the banquet hall.
Charlie stood there, he needed to digest it-
Anson did not hide his purpose. He took the initiative to get close to Charlie because of the "warmth and light", and it was purely a work-level social interaction.
But the point is that Anson showed a calmness and sincerity, which was different; moreover, Charlie couldn't help but reflect on the conversation about dreams just now, whether those dreams were real and those troubles It's all true, and the exchanges between Charlie and Anson are also all true.
Things become interesting right away, don’t they?
Wait.
Charlie noticed a figure, gathered his thoughts, turned ninety degrees, turned around silently and left, staying away from the crowd, walking among the shadows to hide himself quietly.
Anthony saw Charlie's retreating figure from a distance, spreading his hands with an innocent look on his face.
Unlike Charlie, Anson stepped into the spotlight and could immediately feel the anxious and hot gazes coming from all directions.
It seems that in the short time that Anson and Charlie were chatting, the news of the red carpet has entered the banquet hall, and the first hot topic of tonight's award ceremony was quietly born.
However, things are slightly strange.
The subject of the whispering discussion was Anson, and the subject of the drifting gaze was also Anson, but no one took the initiative to step forward and no one broke the deadlock.
As a result, Anson was like an elephant breaking into a circus and became the target of onlookers. This made Anson feel that he should perform rolling a ball or jumping through a fire ring in the next second.
The atmosphere is a little subtle and a little embarrassing.
In the crowd, Anson could detect a burning and sharp gaze. He looked over instinctively and could see the towering Brad Pitt at a glance.
Obviously, the eyes are not so friendly.
