Chapter 772 Strange Visitor
Charlie Kaufman?
Anson was confused, and his first subconscious reaction was that the paparazzi was playing a prank. This was the only explanation; otherwise, why would Charlie show up at his door in New York?
But even if it’s a paparazzi, Anson must give him a thumbs up——
Be original!
With a smile on his face, Anson opened the door to his apartment, but he never expected that he would see Charlie Kaufman at the door—
It was actually Charlie!
There was also an unfamiliar face, slightly reserved, arrogantly raising his chin and turning it to the side, refusing to have any eye contact with Anson.
"...Charlie?"
Anson was slightly dazed for a rare moment, not understanding what was going on.
Charlie was also a little cautious, his eyes drifted to the side uncomfortably, and he coughed twice to clear his throat, "Hey, Anson, I'm sorry for the unexpected visit."
"This is indeed a surprise." Anson still said Not clear about the situation at hand.
Charlie, "I called your agent and he said that you are on vacation. If you need to discuss work, you may have to wait until next week; but we really can't wait until next week. The current situation It's urgent, so we went to visit directly. Didn't the agent tell you?"
Anson scratched his head, "I still have some messages that I haven't listened to."
That's when——< br>
Beep!
The answering machine rang in the hall, followed by Lucas's voice.
"I guess you won't check the answering machine, but I still tell you that I will pick you up at eight o'clock in the evening. Don't run to the club by yourself. Dad is worried that you might get lost in the East Village. Night.”
Crack.
The phone hung up.
Anson looked at Charlie with a slightly embarrassed expression, "It's a family gathering in the evening."
Charlie waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay. We were too rude to interrupt your vacation. We all know how busy the awards season is. "
At present, there are less than twenty-four hours before the Oscar nominations are announced. Once the nominations are announced, the awards season will officially enter the second stage, and the Academy's public relations schedule will be filled.
And, we will be busy all the way until the Oscars ceremony in March.
Now, Anson is seizing the last free time and relaxing briefly.
However, Charlie took this opportunity to come to New York to visit Anson in person. It seemed to be an urgent matter; but if it was "Nuan Nuan Containing Light", it wouldn't be so urgent, right? Does it have to be done on these two days?
Thoughts surged rapidly in my mind.
Anson did not continue to think, "I'm sorry, look at my hospitality, I actually let the guests stand at the door, please come in."
Anson stepped aside and made a Inviting gesture.
Charlie turned to look at the middle-aged man with short to medium gray hair and signaled with his eyes that the two of them entered Anson's apartment one after another——
Inside, there is actually a building within a building.
Enter the apartment door and walk along the three-person wide corridor. Directly in front of you is a staircase of hollow dark brown wood with dark gray steel bars, leading from the first floor to the second floor. The upstairs should be Bedroom and bathroom.
Going through the stairs, there is a two-story glass wall directly in front of you, facing the Hudson River. You will definitely not miss every sunny day in New York; but at this time, the navy blue blinds Pulled down two-thirds, the gray scene outside the city is like a gurgling crystal river, passing through quietly, naturally revealing a quiet and noisy beauty.
Looking to the left, you will see a whole wall of bookshelves with a dazzling array of books and vinyl records. Just a glance will make you unable to take your eyes away.
Looking to the right, it is a fully open hall, with several dark gray, off-white, and jet black lazy sofas piled randomly, facing the huge projection screen on the wall, so that there is no sight. You can't even notice the open kitchen on the right side of the door.
The entire space is open and neat, simple and modern.
For the moment, it is difficult to accurately describe the charming and subtle atmosphere, which is both retro and modern, fashionable and elegant. There is lazy jazz flowing in the air, and the creamy yellow light can be seen on the table. The red wine glass and cheese platter, the black and white movie playing on the big screen was temporarily frozen, and the light and shadow flowed in the space with a unique temperament.
At first glance, Charlie fell in love with this place.
It is somewhat similar to Anson’s imaginary residence, but there are more surprises.
Involuntarily, Charlie looked at it carefully, so much so that Anson was saying something polite without paying attention until he noticed the same surprise and curiosity on his companion's face, and he briefly returned to reality. "Sorry, I wasn't listening to you at all."
Charlie still remains honest where it is not necessary.
"But I like your apartment very much. It is the perfect microcosm of New York."
Anson chuckled, "The interior decoration is all my father's work, and the bookshelf collection is huge. It was partly a donation from my mother and my brother, and the only thing I asked for was a projector, but I thanked him anyway.”
Charlie was immediately amused by Anson, who thought he was just being modest.
Ahem.
There was a cough next to him, and Charlie realized for the third time that he had missed an important point, "Sorry, this stranger is Michel Gondry, my friend."
< br>"Oh." Anson raised his chin slightly and sighed, "Director Gondry? So this is about the script project of 'Nuan Nuan Contains Light'?"
No greetings, no politeness, and Instead of pretending that he didn't care, Anson got straight to the point.
Charlie looked at Michelle with a "you tell me" expression on his face.
But Michelle still looked constipated, always with the expression of brewing, brewing, still brewing.
Beep.
The answering machine rang again.
"Anson, this is Edgar, Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry will go to New York to visit you today or tomorrow. It should be about a new project. Don't promise anything, either. There is no need to respond to anything, I am communicating with Focus Features.”
Pa.
The recording ends.
The air was suddenly quiet.
Anson's eyes fell on the faces of the two people in front of him, he spread his hands and showed a smile, "It seems that I'd better escort you away now."
Michelle's face was full of astonishment. , the expression is not good-looking.
However.
Charlie couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
Michelle gave Charlie a hard look.
Charlie stared back with a calm face, "Otherwise, you can talk to Anson yourself."
Michelle:...
Anson interrupted, "Hello, I’m here, why don’t we talk face to face?”
Charlie smiled even more happily, "I told you, Anson is a funny guy."
Michelle's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Charlie sighed softly, knowing that Michelle still hadn't rounded the corner.
On the one hand, Michelle has her own preconceived ideas. In fact, everyone may be like this. If you decide on something, you must stick to it. Even if other options are more reasonable, you will not be able to turn around for a while. Come.
Michelle identified Jim Carrey and was still unable to open her ears in a short period of time.
On the one hand, Michelle doesn't understand Hollywood. Although he has been working in Hollywood for many years, in the final analysis, he has only produced one project, and most of it relies on friendships and friends to complete the work.
Suddenly having to face the money laws of Hollywood where profit comes first, it is inevitably unacceptable.
It is estimated that Charlie still needs to speak about this matter.
