Chapter 911 Peeping into the Reality
Emmanuel is not a novice, he just believes what he sees with his own eyes, and falls in love with every move of the actor and director——
Seeing is believing. In fact, when this sentence is put in real life, it often needs to be questioned, especially in the entertainment industry.
What they see is often what these actors want the general public to see; what they can see is often what these actors show under the spotlight.
After all, they live in the spotlight 24 hours a day, so that their lives become part of the performance.
This point has been vividly demonstrated in the movie "Sunset Boulevard" as early as half a century ago.
In front of him, the media gathered and their eyes were focused. Emmanuel believed that if Anson was willing, he could show 100% gentlemanly charm.
"Real"?
You may need to turn off the flash and the camera, and inadvertently leak out that fleeting moment in a corner where no one knows.
For example, Ivan just now.
So, what about Anson?
Emmanuel thinks this is an interesting topic, because the scene in front of him is like "Roman Holiday", so perfect that it lacks some authenticity; but the difference is that they have switched places with Anson in the movie. It's the princess and Emmanuel is the reporter.
Look, here’s where things get interesting.
On the train that day, Emanuel tried to capture Anson’s superstar aura, which could still easily stand out even if he was hidden in the crowd.
Now in Cannes, Emanuel is trying to capture the reality beneath the aura of Anson’s stardom, struggling to maintain himself surrounded by the spotlight.
One positive and one negative.
But whether it is the former or the latter, the only thing that can be determined is that Anson is a special person. Such a complex complex has not appeared in the entertainment industry for a long time.
This is a good thing.
Thoughts, lingering in his mind for a moment, Emmanuel has made a choice——
Effortlessly.
"Of course. It's my honor." Emmanuel readily agreed, "I promise that I will show my highest level and take a set of photos for the crew."
Anson laughed.
Noah looked at Anson and then Emmanuel, scratching his head and smiling.
At this moment——
Rustling, rustling.
There was a trivial sound in the hotel corridor, like a drop of cold water falling into a pan of oil and boiling instantly.
You can clearly see the commotion in the crowd, whispering and whispering to each other. Some people stood up, some ran around, some turned away, some dialed the phone, and some kept asking.
Although Anson was right at the door of the room, it was obvious that Anson was no longer the focus at this time.
This is not surprising, this is Cannes, there is news and hot spots everywhere.
Emmanuel glanced at Anson and found that Anson was also observing this scene with interest. The expressions of the people eating melons were a little funny.
Immediately afterwards, a figure went upstream, walking through the crowd of people going to the elevator in twos and threes, all the way to Anson, and he could see it from a long way away.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not late, right? Anyway, I'm sorry, if you come out to greet me in person, things will definitely not go well."
The person who came is the "New York Times" "Reporter Nicholas Flynn. Nicholas was a little depressed. He arranged a phone interview with Francois Ozon in the morning. After the interview, he still had thirty minutes to go to interview the "Elephant" crew——
Everything Arrangements are in order. As a senior reporter, Nicholas will naturally not let himself fall into passivity.
However!
Unexpectedly, François Ozon's hangover completely disrupted Nicholas's plan.
Nicholas acted accordingly and rushed to the Majestic Ballier Hotel in Cannes while doing the phone interview to avoid being involved in the chaotic storm. In fact, he arrived on time, five minutes before the appointment time; But the uneasiness after the plan was disrupted still lingered.
Moreover, when the elevator door opened, the scene in front of him made Nicholas pause slightly -
What happened here?
Unlike other media, Nicholas had already booked an exclusive interview with the crew of "Elephant" two weeks before going to Cannes. This was undoubtedly the highlight of his trip to Cannes, and it was also the focus of the report by the "New York Times". Nicholas has already Booked a large space in the entertainment section of the newspaper with the editor in advance.
So, Nicholas easily grabbed the highest point, and naturally had no way of knowing the turbulent rush to grab the head in the hotel corridor this morning.
Moving forward with a question mark, Nicholas saw Anson at a glance. Although he was not late, Nicholas still apologized as usual.
After a little teasing, and following their gazes, Nicholas joked, "It seems that Cannes is particularly lively today. I just heard that the crew of 'Young Adam' is open for interviews , Ivan is willing to cooperate with all interviews, and no one should miss this opportunity.”
Ewan McGregor?
Emmanuel's expression froze. Although she controlled herself in time and remembered herself, she still couldn't help but want to curse -
Damn it!
The guy let her go, temporarily canceled the scheduled photo shoot, turned around and opened the interview to reporters, posing as a friendly gesture.
Grass!
Emmanuel’s anger really couldn’t be controlled.
Nicholas didn't know the twists and turns behind him. He was just chatting casually about the abnormality this morning. But after he said the words, he looked at the figures turning away in twos and threes in front of him. An idea flashed in his mind, and an unknown premonition came out, and his expression was a little... Awkward.
"So...their departure shouldn't be because of Ivan, right?"
Emmanuel:...
Noah:...
On the contrary, Anson was the calmest and chuckled, "Instead of waiting in line here, it is better to seize the opportunity to start work. This is the normal scene that should appear in Cannes, right?"
Anson didn't care at all about the scene in front of him -
There are only four people in the "Elephant" crew, and they can be divided. Each person is interviewed separately, so the number of interviews they can accept is limited.
It is not right for one crew to trap all the media here. There should be countless reports worth covering in Cannes. As a former newsman, Anson also hopes that the media can make choices neatly and comprehensively. To cover a film festival, there’s no need to hang yourself from a tree.
Nicholas withdrew his gaze and said meaningfully, "Journalists also need to learn to weigh trade-offs. Ten reports that are painless and nutritious are not as good as one truly valuable report, no. If you pounce when you see an opportunity, the result may not be very good.”
“Haha.” Anson understood immediately that Nicholas was complaining about him——
In addition to the relationship between the reporter and the interviewee, are they also considered friends?
There are many reporters who have the same idea as Nicholas. Everyone has a measure. Seeing that the number of reporters flocking to the elevator exceeds expectations, many reporters go and return, and sit down in the corridor again.
A group of people left, but the corridor still seemed bustling and crowded. After a brief period of chaos, order was restored.
