Chapter 780 Mask of Arrogance
"Really? Are you sure? Are you going to attend the awards ceremony?" In a rare moment, Edgar was hesitant about the Oscar.
Anson was very surprised. He raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed lightly, "Captain, what happened? Could it be that the tone of the college invitation letter was not good?"
Can Edgar Sensing Anson's teasing, he couldn't help but chuckle.
“Generally speaking, the Academy will invite guests to attend the award ceremony in four batches. After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, they will announce them one by one to warm up the award ceremony and mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience. Get up.”
"Obviously, the nominees are an exception."
"The Academy always assumes that the nominees are 100% willing to attend the award ceremony, so they will not rush until the nomination list is announced, and then politely confirm We will also provide a detailed list of people who will attend together to reduce meaningless duplication of work.”
“Right now, the nomination list has not been announced yet, and the college should be confirming the list of the third batch of attending guests. But they invited you——"
The answer couldn't be more obvious.
Anson suddenly realized, "What you mean is that the subtext of this invitation is that I was not nominated."
Otherwise, the academy can wait for the nomination list to come out before sending out invitation letters. Although they are still guests, their status will be different.
Edgar, "No, it's more than that."
"The subtext of this invitation is 'Even though you, Anson Wood, were not nominated, our Academy refuses to miss out on your popularity without We are willing to admit it, so we pretend to be merciful and invite you to the award ceremony. You should cry bitterly and kneel down with gratitude to accept it. But we have no intention of hiding it, and we are not even willing to pretend to wait for the nomination list to be announced before sending out the invitation. I am openly mocking you but I have to swallow it with a smile on my face."
Bah, bah, blah, blah, blah.
"Anson, this is a slap in the face, and the condescension is obvious."
Edgar was dissatisfied, very, very dissatisfied——
Compared with whether he could be nominated, what was really irritating was that the college office was not even willing to act hypocritically, arrogantly and contemptuously. Attitude is revealed inadvertently.
In fact, if the academy cannot stand an idol like Anson, it can refuse to invite Anson. Matthew McConaughey, Adam Sandler, Hugh Grant and others are not able to do so every year. Those who get invitation letters from the college will not be targeted by anyone and will be treated equally.
However, the Academy cannot give up Anson’s current topicality and popularity. Just look at the follow-up reaction at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.
So, I have to put on such a posture to the death.
It's really both upright and upright, and the appearance of eating is too ugly.
Edgar couldn't swallow this breath.
On the other end of the phone, Anson's hearty and brisk laughter came.
"Ha, what's the point."
"They want to use me, why don't I want to ride on their popularity? We all act together, who is using whom is still a matter of debate."
"It was the same with Leonardo back then, wasn't it?"
"Captain, who do you think will benefit more from me attending the Oscars without being nominated?"
The answer, of course, is Anson.
It is undeniable that Anson’s current foundation is still shallow. Even if he just goes to the Oscar red carpet for a gold-plating, his position and image in the minds of the general public will be different.
Edgar also understands the truth——
The point is, the academy also understands that they have grasped Anson's current position and mentality, so they dare to be so confident and arrogant.
Edgar still couldn't swallow this breath. Anson didn't hear Edgar's answer, his mind was as clear as a mirror and he knew everything.
Involuntarily, Anson chuckled, "Captain, the current position seems wrong."
"If I remember correctly, the agent is Having seen through the ugly face of Hollywood, actors are naive and self-centered idiots, so the agent persuades the actors to swallow their breath. The future is long, and it is still unknown who will have the last laugh. "
"But now, do you need me to persuade you?"
"Wait, I just heard someone say that he hopes to shoulder the responsibility of an agent and leave everything to the actors themselves. "I apologize for the situation."
"Did you hear it too?"
The frivolous and sarcastic tone was natural, and Edgar couldn't hold back the laughter after all.
Edgar took a breath and said, "I know, I will take care of this. I will make them regret it."
Anson laughed out loud, "Then I'll sit at home and wait for the show to happen."
Edgar was amused again, rubbed his cheeks, and finally regained his senses, "Anson, I just ... I’m just not satisfied with their attitude. It’s obviously a matter of mutual help and mutual benefit, but they deliberately act aloof, as if they disdain to be with us. This attitude is infuriating.”
Anson, "I know. But this is Vanity Fair. Everyone wears a mask to hide their snobbishness and ugliness, what do you think?"
Edgar understands, he fully understands, but he used to think that The understanding of something and the understanding of actually experiencing it seem to be two different things.
"Anson, are you really only twenty years old?" Edgar couldn't help but sigh.
Anson was no longer panicking. This kind of thing was familiar to him. "Captain, this is why you decided that I was worth investing in. What do you think?" He survived all the humiliation and attacks of yelling and swearing, which were wounds visible to the naked eye. Now look at these methods of Hollywood Vanity Fair, it's like playing house, and it really doesn't feel like a shock to Anson at all.
Even to the point of embarrassing Anson——
Look, Edgar has lost his composure. Should he also cooperate and get injured?
But Anson really can't perform such a family wine. Maybe after he practices a little more, when he can perform it, the Best Actor Award will not be far away.
Edgar regained his smile, "So, are you sure we should accept the invitation?"
Anson didn't care, "Of course, why not?"
"Hey, Captain, we If you refuse and show a little bit of backbone, what will happen next? They will not be upset, but they may say disdainfully, 'It's a lot less for you.'"
"But we attended, and we did so in a dignified manner. Stealing all the spotlight at the awards ceremony, turning it into their own stage, taking it to the next level. Even though they use us to create buzz, they also become our stepping stone."
"You think. , can they swallow this? ”
Edgar made up the picture in his mind, and a smile couldn't help but bloom at the corner of his mouth.
Then.
Anson added another sentence.
“Furthermore, I promised Eddie that we should attend the Oscars. Neither the Golden Globe nor the Oscar should be missing.”
“If there is no invitation letter from the Academy, I might still It’s a bit nerve-wracking, and I’m thinking about whether I should lead a pig onto the red carpet to make my debut, but now is the time, it saves trouble.”
Edgar was stunned:? ? ?
Wait, what did he just hear? pig? Is Anson saying he's going to lead a pig down the red carpet?
