Chapter 800: Upright
Eh?
Huh? What? What's going on?
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
There was silence in the entire apartment. Everyone looked at Kristen and then at Anson, but their brains were obviously not able to keep up with their pace, and the question marks that popped up one after another were about to explode.
Until——
Poof.
Someone broke the rules.
All eyes looked over, and then they saw Ilya, who had his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and was having a hard time suppressing his laughter.
Then, Ilya couldn't control it anymore.
"Ha, hahaha."
Laughing loudly.
Ilya also noticed the sights around him, but didn't know how to explain it. He could only wave his hand to the side to signal to everyone that he was fine.
Going straight forward, Elijah came to Anson and Kristen, his face full of curiosity.
“Have you rehearsed?”
Kristen glanced at Anson, and her smile was like the sunshine quietly showing up after the drizzle in the spring afternoon, blooming lightly, "It seems that we performed well."
The subtext is that there is no rehearsal, but Can cause misunderstandings among fellow actors.
Ilya understood immediately, "Wow."
Looked at Kristen and then at Anson, his eyes were full of surprise.
Kristen knew the meaning of Elijah's eyes and quickly distanced himself from the relationship, "It's him, it's all him. You still need to be wary of him in the future. He likes to play pranks the most."
"Hey, Kristen!" Anson protested.
Kristen and Ilya both looked over.
Anson did not defend or protest, but put his index finger on his lips, "Shh. We should give others a chance to get to know me."
Exactly!
One second, two seconds.
Elijah laughed again, he was beginning to like Anson now.
Now, everyone gradually recovered and finally figured out the situation——
Prank.
It turns out that everything was just a prank.
But wait.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, they originally thought that Anson and Kristen were playing tricks on each other; but something went wrong. Are they sure they didn't join forces to play tricks on the crew?
And they were like marionettes one by one, and just now they were stupidly worried that the two of them would break up and fight.
Looking back now, I feel ashamed and annoyed. I really don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Grant was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter——
The mood was actually pretty good, is this normal?
Kate finally came to her senses. She looked at the staff around her quietly, and then she had to admire her from the bottom of her heart. Anson was indeed impressive.
What Anson is experiencing now, Kate herself has also experienced. The first crew she joined after "Titanic" detonated the box office was not a commercial film, but an independent film. The working atmosphere of the crew at that time was Very weird.
There is neither tension nor conflict, but there is an arrogant and frivolous provocation that stings the skin slightly, but does not set off a bomb. Later, one time, Kate locked herself in the bathroom stall and sulked because her performance was not going well. She was disappointed and dissatisfied with herself, but she did not expect to overhear the conversations of other staff members.
After "Titanic" became a hit, the behind-the-scenes footage became a story everyone talked about, and the story of how two actors became the lucky ones was also widely circulated.
Leonardo was James Cameron's choice against all odds, otherwise 20th Century Fox would have preferred Matthew McConaughey to play this role. Without James' persistence, it might have been another story.
Kate is the result of her own persistence. Among the candidates, Kate does not have an advantage; but Kate does not give up. She writes a letter by hand every week and attaches a rose to James' office. He wrote "I am your Rose/Rose" and relied on his tireless pursuit and hard work to impress James.
To the general public, each of the two stories has its own splendor and legend, and word of mouth is full of excitement; but for people in the industry, this is not the case. Different opinions and different feelings are the same. There was an uproar.
“If you are so hungry to star in a commercial blockbuster, and now you turn to art movies to ‘find yourself’ what to do, the pretentiousness is really disgusting.”
“A Rose Every Week Does it also come with smelly underwear?”
"I don't know if it's my misunderstanding, but her current performance is extremely greasy, so is this the impact of the box office bomb at the end of the century?"
Satire, ridicule, contempt, laughter accompanied by schadenfreude.
At that time, Kate hugged her knees tightly and curled up on the toilet, holding her breath, lest they find her; but after her nerves relaxed, she realized that her cheeks had already been wet with tears.
At that time, she was cowardly and timid, and did not dare to conflict with the staff. She swallowed all the pain, worries, and grievances in her stomach because she was afraid that others would say that she was born with blessings and did not know how to be blessed. Or maybe she brought it all on herself but she still doesn't know how to cherish it and complains there, or else her success is obviously the glory that everyone dreams of. If she doesn't like it, why not just go into seclusion in the mountains?
Those eyes, those glances, those gossips.
It could easily destroy her confidence.
So, she could only swallow her tears, wipe them away, hold her head high and face all difficulties.
Only you know what it feels like to be glamorous in the eyes of others.
Of course, Kate has no regrets. She knows that all this is her own choice, and she also knows that those negative effects are the price of fame and popularity.
The only difference is that Kate hopes she can be more upright——
Indeed, she has achieved the great success that Hollywood actors dream of. She should be happy, satisfied, and happy, and she is; but at the same time, she should also be allowed to have her own troubles and confusions, and she should also be allowed to continue to explore her own dreams. Actor's path.
She hopes that in the face of those rumors, she can be calmer and braver to fight back.
At that time, she couldn't do it, and Leonardo couldn't do it either.
For such incredible success, they all feel a little guilty, so much so that they dare not complain, be confused, or suffer, as if any negative emotion is a sign of being unsatisfied and ungrateful.
Until now.
Kate saw in Anson the perfect response.
She believes that Anson also has his own worries and thoughts. She believes that there is another real Anson hidden under the appearance of the vase idol that people see.
The important point is that Anson did not shrink back or be timid, but bravely attacked openly and responded to those gazes in his own way.
Kate thought that Anson should be a good actor.
Even though he may not be mature enough now, he will definitely be able to grow into a good actor in the future because he is thinking and is good at thinking.
Kate is looking forward to this collaboration more and more, and she believes she has made a wise choice.
And of course, Kristen.
Smiling, Kate also took the initiative to move towards the two protagonists and greeted them enthusiastically.
Only Mark still stood there hesitantly: Should he step forward?
