Chapter 783: Taking Off the Mask
TMZ, "Anson Wood is about to join the cast for a new work and may miss the Oscars."
A piece of news appeared on the official website of TMZ.
This gossip website, which was born last summer, has grown rapidly in just half a year. Now it has become a new gathering place for the new generation to explore gossip on the Internet, attracting bustling attention at the first time.
As Edgar said, missing the Oscars is not a big deal, and more than one or two actors have declined Oscar invitations.
Except for big names like Woody Allen and Katharine Hepburn who would rather stay at home than attend the Oscars, the most common situation is scheduling conflicts.
Because of filming, because of the stage, because of touring, and various work reasons, I still refused the Oscar despite choosing one of the two. This situation is the most common in Hollywood. After all, this is a valid reason. , even if the academy is not satisfied, it can only swallow that breath.
But.
Anson Wood?
From the perspective of the general public, the dream of an idol vase like Anson is to be on the Oscar stage. Have you ever seen that countless traffic idols squeeze their heads just to step on the Oscar red carpet, even if they are just on the Oscar stage? No one cares about squatting quietly in the corner, but a photo is enough to make fans burst into tears and tremble all over.
As an idol, exposure and traffic are more important than your works, right?
In front of Oscar, all other schedules can be postponed.
So, TMZ’s report is pure nonsense?
No, to be precise, TMZ's report also put a question mark:
"Possibly absent."
Netizens suddenly realized that "possible absence" means "despite being busy with work, after all, this is the Oscars. Against all odds, I will still choose to attend, even if I just show up at the awards ceremony, I can't miss it."
Are you sure this is not hype?
On the other hand, creating a professional image through new works will further increase the value.
On the other hand, I will continue to attend the award ceremony and do a good job of socializing in the college.
Having an image and popularity, she not only wins the favor of the public but also shows her ability to deal with different social relationships in a versatile way. She is a model that is both necessary and desirable. This public relations ability is really admirable, and I give thumbs up to the team behind the scenes.
Mind-expanding!
TMZ’s news is like a pebble, breaking the calmness of the lake and causing ripples.
The college side felt as if they had swallowed a fly and suddenly felt uncomfortable——
TMZ broke the news sooner rather than later, but they announced Anson just after the college had whetted their appetite. Will it be revealed later that he will attend the award ceremony?
There is nothing fishy in this, and the academy doesn’t believe it.
Regardless of whether Anson attended the awards ceremony or not, this wave of popularity has taken shape, and even the Oscars have become a stepping stone for Anson news.
More importantly, the college needs to maintain its posture and not act rashly.
On a public level, they refused to respond to rumors based on gossip sites like TMZ.
At the working level, they were upright and refused to lower themselves to Edgar for a second confirmation. In their view, since Anson had given confirmation, there was no reason for Anson to miss the Oscars.
So, the college was silent.
Subsequent developments seemed to prove the academy’s conjecture.
"Los Angeles Times", "Confirmed! Anson Wood will collaborate with Kate Winslet for the first time in Charlie Kaufman's yet untitled new work."
"The New York Times" ", "Anson Wood has arrived in New York to prepare for his new work, and the film is expected to start filming in a week. He may not be able to attend the Oscars. "
"The Hollywood Reporter", "Anson Wood is focused on the new film. In terms of work, I am in actor mode; the Oscar ceremony is temporarily postponed. "
"Entertainment Weekly", "Anson: I hope to attend the Oscar ceremony, but if there is a schedule conflict, I will still choose to fulfill my duties as an actor."
"The New Yorker", "Anson Wood, 'Oscar is a rare opportunity, but this new work is a rare challenge, I don't want to miss it.'"
One step, another step.
The news is getting louder and louder, but judging from the news keywords, vague words such as maybe, probably, maybe, depending on the situation are never absent. All aspects are proving that Anson will still attend the Oscars. , the hottest star at the moment will not miss Hollywood's biggest event of the year.
Sure enough, everything was as expected. Netizens: Look, I already knew this.
The college felt a little relieved and continued to maintain its aloof attitude.
Until——
TMZ, "Breaking confirmation that Anson will not attend the Oscars."
Is this true?
Buzz. Buzz buzz.
The bustling sights and discussions collided, but skepticism was always maintained. After all, TMZ's information source still lacked some authority.
After some hesitation, the news was officially confirmed.
The New York Times, "Anson Wood will miss Oscars in three weeks -
'It's a shame, but I believe I made the right choice.'"
Heavyweight, 100% heavyweight.
Even in the New York Times, it occupies the headlines of the entertainment section.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Everyone was stunned.
Because it was so shocking, shocking and unexpected that they didn’t know how to respond. One or two of them fell into silence, quietly feeling the aftermath of the shock on their eardrums, and the whole world was spinning at high speed.
Looking at the academy——
Oscar, what do you think?
A slap in the face, hard on the college’s face.
That is, what happened not long ago, those pictures and news are still vivid, the college has been brewing and hyping it, mobilizing the enthusiasm of netizens with a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, trying every means to use Anson's influence to create heat, enjoy it Anson's popularity.
The smile was still on the corner of his mouth, and a slap in the face made the college stunned.
Of course, the academy is completely unaware?
How is it possible!
Edgar naturally does not leave any traces behind when doing things. He has officially informed the college via email. The words are full of regret and regret. He has repeatedly emphasized that Anson very much hopes to seize this golden opportunity, but in the end I still chose to stick to my job as an actor and had to reluctantly give up the opportunity to attend the award ceremony. However, I still need to thank the academy for the invitation.
Some sincere and passionate words made the superior college shut up completely——
If you break your teeth, you can only swallow them in your stomach.
Edgar is already so sincere, what else can the college say?
What really embarrassed the college was the speed with which the news leaked out.
On the front foot, Edgar said that Anson had to refuse the invitation to the awards ceremony. The Academy was a little depressed and aggrieved, but the pride in his bones still stood firm. Anyway, the Oscars were full of stars, and it didn’t matter if there was one less Anson. It was a loss. It's not theirs. The college doesn't need to panic. It just needs to discuss a strategy to perfectly maintain its own dignity -
There is no way, it was too loud some time ago.
On the back foot, before the college could come up with a solution, the news had already leaked out.
First it was TMZ, and then the New York Times. If Edgar said it was not intentional, the Academy would not believe it at all, and then the Academy would be put on the fire.
