Chapter 886 Class Trip
Ahhh, ahhhh.
Screaming, exploding, and still rising, bursting out with incredible energy in an instant.
Emmanuel was slightly surprised. He subconsciously turned his head to look behind him and took a look -
Things were not right.
No one can deny Anson's topical effect. Whether he likes it or not, Anson's influence is there. He is one of the biggest highlights of this year's Cannes Film Festival; otherwise, the organizing committee would not personally invite Anson to appear as a guest at the opening ceremony. Yes, the strategy is to detonate traffic.
However, topics are topics, but popularity is another matter.
This is Cannes, this is France. Although Hollywood commercial films can always achieve good results here, the impact is effective after all.
At the same time, it is one thing for people to be willing to enter theaters to watch movies, but it is another thing to cheer and shout for Hollywood superstars.
As we all know, French audiences like movies directed by directors, not actors, and the cheers of Hollywood superstars here need to be discounted.
After all, Cannes is not Venice, let alone Hollywood.
What's more, no matter how fast Anson rises, it's only two movies in just one year. After all, he is not Tom Cruise or Leonardo DiCaprio.
As can be seen from the opening ceremony, there is no doubt that the topic is hot, but the audience mostly still looks on with a cold attitude.
But today?
Not even two days later, when Anson stepped on the red carpet of the Film Palace again, the situation was completely different.
Are they crazy? Or, what happened in these short two days?
Not only Emmanuel, but also Anson himself had the same idea. Being in the same place two days apart, the whole temperature difference was really uncomfortable.
Looking at the astonished expression on Gus's face, Anson spread his hands and showed a smile.
But the real problem is yet to come.
Anson bent down and looked at Alex Frost and Eric Delenn in the carriage, "Hey, guys, this is the destination."
This time, "Elephant" was shortlisted for the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival, which is undoubtedly a surprise. Even Gus himself said it was unexpected, but the opportunity is once in a lifetime, and it is a special experience for both the actor and the director.
However, the "Elephant" crew is a little bit special, because they are all ordinary students. After the filming of the movie, they returned to their daily lives, and no one tried to go to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
For them, filming a movie was a special experience, but the movie did not enter the theater, the media did not follow up the report, and nothing happened afterwards. It didn’t seem that special. It was similar to a school performance, but there was no such thing as life. There is nothing particularly exciting about any change.
Cannes?
Oh, so what?
Gus told these children that if they were interested, just let him know and he could take them to Cannes for a vacation. There were no restrictions on personnel. As long as they starred in the movie, they could sign up.
It doesn't matter if the mood is lacking, Gus doesn't push anyone.
For Hollywood and the film industry, the Cannes Film Festival is of special significance. It is unimaginable that some people refuse to go to Cannes; but for ordinary high school students in Portland, movies are not a part of daily life. , the Cannes Film Festival seemed even more distant and unfamiliar -
not attractive at all.
In the end, only Alex Prost was interested.
And the reason is that he wanted to take a plane to see it.
This child has never flown in a plane in his life. Now that he has the opportunity to fly for free, Alex wants to try it across the Atlantic Ocean.
Obviously, the Cannes Film Festival is not that important. Who could have imagined that the Cannes Film Festival could be so "cheap"?
Alex felt that if he went alone, he would lose the fun of traveling, so he took Eric with him.
Although Eric was not interested and even thought it was a tedious task, Eric was finally convinced and reluctantly followed Alex to Cannes.
For the two middle school students, Cannes has no special meaning. It is just a trip together, and they are completely unaware of the premiere.
In other words, they thought they knew what was going on because they had seen it on the news; they only realized their naivety when they actually arrived at the scene.
The actual situation is completely different from the imagination.
So.
Alex's back was pressed tightly against the car's cushion, his head was like a rattle, and he showed an awkward and reserved smile, "Can we leave now, okay? Driver, keep driving, keep moving, we won't get out of the car."
Then Alex looked at Anson with a pleading expression, shaking his head and frowning, crying and laughing, like a robot with a program error.
This scene made Anson burst into laughter. "Alex, there is no need to be nervous. Just treat it as an experience and experience different adventures. You will know what others say about Hollywood in the future. In fact, Hollywood is not that good either.”
Alex’s eyes widened and he glanced outside, muttering, “Isn’t this good? There weren’t so many people at our school’s football games. "
"Haha." Anson laughed directly, "It's all watermelon. If you don't believe it, look, this is essentially a melon field. Everything you see is watermelon. .”
Alex had a constipated look on his face, but his back still refused to move from the back of the chair.
On the other hand, Eric, who was sitting inside, glanced outside and then at Anson. He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, patted Alex's arm, signaled him to get out of the way, and was ready to go out. .
Alex stared at Eric with a ghostly expression, and pressed his back closer, with a look like "I will bite my tongue if you pull me out."
Eric shook his head helplessly, and Anson's hearty laughter filled the air. Without any hesitation, he turned around and opened the door on his side, got out of the car, took a detour, and came to Anson's side.
Ahhhh! Ahhhh!
Screaming and cheering, a rolling heat wave hit his face. Eric thought he was well prepared, but when he actually stood here facing the storm, his knees still shook slightly uncontrollably.
Anson turned around and stood beside Eric to provide support.
Eric, "Watermelon?"
Anson, "Yes, watermelon."
Eric took a deep breath, "I'm ready."
At this time, Alex couldn't hold back after all, and rushed over at a trot, stood on the other side of Anson, raised his head and took a look at Anson's height and shape, then detoured from behind and ran to Eric. He nodded vigorously and clenched his fists to encourage himself and Eric.
Gus straightened his suit and was about to walk towards Anson, but Anson signaled to Alex. Gus understood, just like a mother bird flying with her chicks, he still came to Alex By his side, Alex felt a little more at ease.
Alex felt relieved. He looked left and right, and immediately realized something was wrong——
Now, Alex and Eric were standing in the middle, Instead, Anson and Gus became marginalized people. That shouldn't be the case, right?
Alex was about to protest, but it was too late. The three people next to him took steps forward, and he could only follow them quickly with his calves weak and his knees shaking.
Damn it!
