Chapter 822 On call
A question, when is the quietest time in New York throughout the day?
Maybe, four in the morning?
Everything is quiet and the whole city falls asleep.
But not necessarily, the hustle and bustle, crime and noise under the cover of night are always surging in the blood vessels.
However, in the morning, after the rush hour, around ten or eleven o'clock, when all the excitement and busyness gather on Wall Street and the rolling high-rise buildings, the residential areas will become quiet.
Everything fell silent, even the sound of the wild cat landing was particularly clear.
At least, that's the case for Anson.
After the day and night are reversed, I close my eyes and fall asleep when the sun rises. Instead, there is an extraordinary quietness. Even the dreamland is peaceful, with rolling clouds, calm seas, and I drift off to sleep. .
Until——
Knock knock. Knock knock.
The heavy knock on the door was comparable to thunder.
Anson woke up immediately, but Anson did not get up. Instead, he pulled up the quilt and covered his head, trying to block out the noise.
Bang bang.
The knocking on the door did not stop, it was knocking relentlessly, and it seemed that the entire door panel was trembling slightly. It was obvious that the other party would not give up.
call.
Anson lifted the quilt and let out a long breath.
He found that he was slowly starting to become inert.
In my previous life, I was always on alert like a frightened bird. Not to mention sleeping peacefully or staying in bed, I had to stay alert even when I was awake, and my nerves never relaxed.
Look now?
No sense of vigilance at all.
But...that's a good thing, right? The haze of the past is fading away.
Stretched out, picked up the nightgown, and walked back downstairs.
During the period of filming in New York, Anson no longer needed to stay in a hotel. He could return to the apartment every day and fall asleep in his familiar environment.
Last night, it was the same——
Although there were still some bumps in the subsequent filming, everything was within the normal range. Anson and Kate found the appropriate performance frequency.
Photograph all the way from indoors to outdoors.
Not only did all the planned scenes be filmed, but tonight's scenes were also filmed in advance, and the progress plummeted.
The crew was busy until five o'clock in the morning, and now the whole night's work is over.
As soon as he got home and fell on the bed, Anson was exhausted and fell unconscious.
Even now, Anson still squints his eyes. His eyes and cheeks seem to be swollen, and he can see the traces of hard work last night.
Then, Anson opened the door and turned back to the room without pausing.
The guest standing at the door had questions on his face, "Aren't you worried that it's a paparazzi or a fanatic movie fan?"
As soon as you heard that voice, you knew it was Edgar Cook.
Edgar's answer was a pop.
Edgar entered the hall and saw Anson curled up on the sofa like a cat, which made him a little helpless.
“Don’t worry, the reason why my family chose this apartment was because of the security system, which is said to be the best in New York. Although I don’t know why they attach so much importance to it, but now it seems that it saves some trouble.”
As early as last year when filming "Spider-Man", the paparazzi already knew the location of Anson's New York apartment, but until now no one has been able to sneak in.
It is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It looks loose and looks like an ordinary apartment, but it is heavily protected -
It is very suitable for the upper class society who pays attention to personal privacy.
Edgar thought carefully.
When he entered the apartment, he did not encounter any special treatment. Just like any other apartment building, it was just a basic inquiry and registration by the security guard at the front desk. Seems ordinary.
However, from beginning to end, he felt that his every move was under surveillance. If he acted suspiciously, or lost his way, or was rejected by Anson, he would not know. What will happen next second.
I couldn’t help but feel a chill in my heart.
But Edgar didn't think much about it, just in time to ensure Anson's privacy in New York.
Originally, Edgar was in a hurry, but now when he saw Anson, he was not so anxious, "Did you shoot until late at night last night?"
Anson responded vaguely , paused for a moment, and asked again, "What time is it."
"It's just past fifteen." Edgar looked at his watch.
Anson breathed out gently, "I can still sleep for a few more hours, but obviously, this gentleman is in an emergency. If you don't speak, I may fall asleep again."
The corner of Edgar's mouth twitched, but he still couldn't help but smile, "Seeing that you are so calm, that means there is no need to worry."
Anson did not answer, his head buried in the sofa, as if Fell asleep.
Edgar did not rush and waited patiently.
Then, Anson's slightly hoarse voice came from the sofa, "Oh, Kate?"
Anson sat up lazily, "The news spread so quickly. Are you in Los Angeles? Judging from the time, you learned the news in the morning and flew over directly?”
Edgar shook his head, "No, I came here on Tom Hanks' private plane."
"Ha." Anson laughed directly, "Are you so anxious?"
Edgar, "Anson, you are my actor. You chose this work on your own initiative. If there is a problem with the heroine, I naturally need to rush to the scene as soon as possible to help you deal with the matter and safeguard your interests." , You just need to tell me what our position is."
These matters are not troubles that can be easily solved over the phone.
Anson was stunned for a moment, rubbed his cheeks like a cat washing its face, and chuckled, "The matter is not that serious, we have no position."
"But."
"Captain, thank you. Thank you for taking it so seriously and being willing to come over as soon as possible."
"I know the virtues of those agents."
< br>Even for top stars like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, agents are not always available because there is division of labor and cooperation.
The personal part is handled by assistants and managers; while agents are responsible for controlling the overall situation from behind the scenes. Phone calls, faxes and emails are their ammunition.
Therefore, even if an emergency occurs, agents do not necessarily need to be present in person. They often stay in Los Angeles and control the situation by phone.
In other words, work is work, and agents will still keep their distance.
But things are not that simple in real life. If the agent is willing to do it himself, things will often be different.
Just like Edgar is now.
This is very rare.
The longer Anson stays in Hollywood, the more he knows that this is not a matter of course. Beyond the fetters of interests, there is also the camaraderie of fighting.
Just a "thank you", and the smile in Edgar's eyes added.
From learning the news to confirming the news of Kate Winslet's agent to searching for the most convenient transportation all night to arrive in New York as soon as possible, Edgar is also very angry now and can't calm down in a hurry.
During the flight across the North American continent, Edgar imagined different situations and thought about different solutions. He was completely unable to calm down throughout the night. Such a difficult situation may lead to different results for the crew.
The worst thing is that it directly leads to the abortion of the project, and the dissolution is announced before it has time to advance. This situation has not happened before.
Random thoughts, racing thoughts.
But now, it's all worth it.
"So, what you're saying is, there's no need to worry? How's Kate doing?"
