Chapter 784: Escape intact
The atmosphere is slightly subtle.
For a long time, the general public has always been imprisoned in the framework of stereotypes. The first reaction to anything happening is to condemn the vases.
This time, it’s the same.
After all kinds of news came out, people’s conditioned reflex was to put the hype hat on Anson’s head.
What's more, in "Anson VS Academy", there is no doubt that public opinion is easily behind the academy. Not only does it believe that everything is Anson's hype, but it is also 100% sure that Anson will not miss the Oscar ceremony. In the final analysis, it is an idol who creates traffic. Just a means.
Even Charlie Kaufman was taken advantage of.
Haha.
Public opinion is one-sided.
However.
I never expected that things would turn 180 degrees in an instant, overturning all guesses and expectations.
Anson is about to miss the Oscars, actually!
So what’s going on?
One possibility is that Anson is still promoting himself to promote his new work.
But the point is, this is the work of Charlie Kaufman. He has always gone his own way and is an out-of-place genius who doesn’t want or need to hype——
Because even hype can't get audiences into theaters.
Although it is sad to say this, it is the reality.
Calm down and think about it carefully, and look at it from another perspective. You can see the clues from Anson's choice of Charlie Kaufman's works:
Not for the box office, but also for the box office. Not for the award, but simply because I like Charlie and appreciate Charlie, and I am eager to shoot a work that I am really interested in.
After two consecutive works that hit the box office, Anson finally has the right to make his own choices. For the first time as an actor, he chooses a work. He can define his own preferences and define himself as an actor. It is not a romantic love. The Prince Charming of comedy is not a superhero from a commercial blockbuster, but a work of a genius who takes an eccentric approach and cannot be easily defined.
This is really...unbelievable.
Now it seems that Anson is not just a vase, an idol, or a label, but an actor who truly has the ability to think and is even smarter than imagined.
Admirable.
Hype?
Now it seems more like a joke.
If you are really prepared to hype, Charlie Kaufman is obviously not the right choice. Why choose Charlie Kaufman's work if you don't choose the ready-made "Spider-Man 2"? Sony Columbia should also be happy to ride on the Oscar buzz and build a reputation for the sequel movie.
However, no.
So, if it wasn’t Anson’s hype, what would all this be about?
Is it purely a coincidence?
Or, there is another possibility, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences?
Although this is very outrageous, very, very outrageous, enough to make people laugh; but combined with the context, the possibility is skyrocketing.
One hypothesis is that Anson has been trying to join Charlie Kaufman's project. He cannot be 100% sure about the arrangements for the next period of time, so whether he will attend the Oscars is always a question mark.
In this regard, the Academy has learned that either they believe that Anson will not miss the awards ceremony 100%, or they hope to seize the opportunity before Anson announces his absence to build momentum for this year's awards ceremony——
< br>All in all, the academy announced the guest list early, and even deliberately whetted appetites and created traffic, making the media and audience lively.
On the other hand, Anson was in a dilemma when faced with such a situation, but he still gave the college face in the end and did not expose the illusion of this hype. He has been working hard to coordinate and cooperate and show sincerity.
In the end, coordination failed, and Anson had to make a choice - stick to his job as an actor and regretfully miss the Oscars.
Even Oscar.
So, who is making the hype now?
The eyes are quietly gathering towards the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The academy also has hard words to argue with and hard words to express.
How should they explain?
For one thing, rumors are just rumors.
The bustling attention and vague rumors always remain in the stage of speculation. No one really publicly accused the academy of sneaking out the audience and using Anson as a gimmick to promote; but they themselves explained anxiously that this is not the same as Are the rumors true?
Secondly, even if the college is prepared to come forward and prove its innocence, what should they say?
What's the whole story?
The key point is here. It is true that Anson is not that innocent, but the college is not that innocent either. The whole thing was originally a plot against each other.
The academy tries to take advantage of Anson's traffic, and Edgar fights back against the academy's arrogance.
Even if the matter is made public, in the end it will be a lose-lose outcome. Although the college should be able to gain a slight upper hand by virtue of its status and connections; but sacrificing one's face and status for such a trivial matter, the loss to the college may be even more severe.
In fact, the college leadership is still more or less in shock and shock.
In Hollywood, the Academy cannot rule the roost, and the leadership cannot change the votes of the judges; but never underestimate the influence of the Academy. With their connections and resources, if they can slightly stumble Anson and create unhappiness behind his back, then it will really matter. It couldn't be simpler.
For example, in this matter, the Academy does not need to take any special action at all. If it continues to deepen Anson's idol image, it can ensure that Anson will not win any Oscar nominations in the next five or ten years, and it can easily cut off Anson. in Oscar prospects.
The Academy believes that even if Anson doesn’t know, the agent should know.
They thought that Anson might break his teeth and swallow them after being despised and exploited by the college. However, they did not expect that Anson actually launched a counterattack, and he was so sharp.
This is the most shocking part of the academy.
It won't work if you explain it; it won't work if you don't explain it.
For a moment, the college was put on the fire, but it had to keep its mouth shut and continue to maintain its high and authoritative image.
The situation is stuck here.
Just when everyone thought that the college had a rare failure in terms of hype, the "Los Angeles Times" actually managed to interview Anson over the phone.
“I hope to attend the Oscars. Believe me, I desperately need this opportunity to promote myself.”
"So, until the last minute, I was still trying to adjust my schedule, but finally realized that I shouldn't be so selfish. If I want to be a real actor, I need to learn to make choices."
"Although it is very, very regretful to miss the Oscars, I hope to be able to walk on the red carpet of the Oscars with my works in the future."
This is also the only time Anson gave an interview to express his official stance after announcing his regretful absence from the Oscars. Attract all eyes.
Light and frank, showing the posture of an actor.
And, to save the college.
In his words, Anson laughed at himself about the "hype rumors" and showed that he didn't mind at all, making those bustling rumors seem particularly childish. At the same time, he repositioned himself as an actor and also cheered for the Oscars. He quietly made a The storm disappeared without a trace.
The buzzing rumors slowly calmed down.
