Chapter 916 Superstar Style
Doubtful, vigilant, and curious.
During the interview, Nicholas, a senior professional journalist, was always thinking a lot, which made him recall the first meeting with Anson -
In the parking lot of Warner Bros. Studio, because He's been in the spotlight for being the rumored intruder in Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's relationship.
A piece of tidbits brought this young man into the public eye for the first time.
Since then, Nicholas has been curious about this person; and now, standing on the Cannes stage, it seems like a whole new world has opened up.
As an actor, Anson’s path seems to be just beginning now.
Nicholas looked at Anson with interest and continued to raise a topic, "So, will it be the same in Cannes this time?"
The styles for the opening ceremony and premiere, including hair Changes, are these also part of the character's continuation of real life? Is it also the sound that the movie continues into reality?
Later, in a special report in the New York Times, Nicholas wrote this.
"...When I asked this question, Anson did not give an answer. He just laughed heartily, confidently and calmly, and pushed the question back, just like his performance and role -
presented. But not the answer.
Thinking and answering are left to the audience/readers. Just like a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, Anson leaves us with room for interpretation.
Just like Anson. People.
'Elephant' breaks into the main competition section of Cannes for its world premiere, just like Anson Wood appears in the film: calm, but crazy.
However, when I saw him the next day, he had regained his slender figure, handsome and handsome, and easily stole all the attention.
But he always keeps a low profile and remains enthusiastic. This is not a disguise, because during the conversation, you can feel the temperature of his soul by looking directly into his eyes.
He is that type of actor who can easily be called a 'vase', but in my opinion, his professionalism has never been questionable. The huge success of 'Spider-Man' and 'Cat and Mouse' made Anson Wood a star and also launched him on a journey of adventure.
Obviously, ‘Elephant’ is just the beginning.
What is unimaginable is that when my question became the beginning of Anson’s interview with me, it was just the beginning. When the interview came to an end, I, sitting opposite Anson, became the interviewee. ”
Simple and down-to-earth, one can feel Nicholas's praise and admiration from between the lines. The reporter made no secret of his appreciation for Anson.
But Emanuel would say, who can say no to Anson?
As the interview was coming to an end and the work was getting ready to wrap up, Anson looked at Nicholas like a friend, "What do you think of this year's film festival?"
Emmanuel was surprised to be stunned. .
Nicholas seemed particularly calm and calm, and was not surprised by the direction of the conversation, "So far, it's disappointing. The main competition unit is not very outstanding, but fortunately, 'Elephant' lit up our tiredness." ”
Anson looked over curiously, "Are there any other good movies?"
Nicholas thought for a while, "Marco-Tullio-Giordana's 'A Brilliant Life'. "
Anson's eyes lit up, "Ah, that six-hour movie, right? I met Paul-Giamatti yesterday and he told me that this work is very good. , comparable to 'Once Upon a Time in America'? It seems like I'll have to see it."
Nicholas, "I wouldn't say like 'Once Upon a Time in America', personally, more like '1900'. Or 'City of Sadness', but still worth seeing"
Anson, "And?"
Nicholas, "Of course, 'American Glory' brought by Paul Giamatti is also very good; in addition, 'Crimson Gold' in the Unique Concern section, and Alexander Sokolov (in the Main Competition section) Alexander-Sokurov's 'Fathers and Sons'..."
Anson, "'Fathers and Sons'? I've heard that this movie is very bad" Some films in the main competition may be scheduled in advance. Screenings in theaters or markets, before the official premiere, people can see it in advance, so a lot of different news can be heard in the past two days.
Nicholas shook his head, "On the contrary, this work is very good."
Anson, "Okay, then I have to go and see it too."
Nicholas, "Are you sure? I think you might be a little busy in the next two days."
Anson, "Haha. You still have to have dreams, right? This is a film festival, I I’m really looking forward to seeing the movie, please keep some hope for me.”
Is this normal?
Emmanuel looked at the rising scene in front of him with surprise and sigh in his eyes. At the end of the interview, the positions of the interviewer and the interviewee were reversed? Moreover, two people exchange information around the works of the film festival, just like movie fans, just like the conversations that might happen in every corner of Cannes?
Looking back carefully, this kind of atmosphere runs throughout. Rather than talking about business or work, it is better to say that Anson has a straight conversation attitude from the beginning——
An equal conversation, so Anson is willing to open up and really delve into the actor's world and show a small part of it to the world.
From fashion styling to character exploration to movie understanding, step by step, from the outside in, peel off the labels of appearance and peek into more possibilities.
Perhaps, this edition of the Cannes Film Festival is indeed different. It opens a window to reveal the brilliance of Anson's "actor".
No longer just a vase.
Until the interview was over, Nicholas was about to put away the recorder, but he couldn't hold it back and resumed his identity as an interviewer, asking the last question.
Nicholas, "So, what's your next plan?"
Anson, "Go home and continue being a normal person."
Then, the interview ended.
In Cannes, the world's attention gathers, and actors stand under the spotlight and enjoy applause and flowers. Reporters are often curious about the actors' next plans -
Which director will they work with? What types of subjects do you shoot? What characters are explored?
And so on and so forth.
Actors are often willing to share. Using such a platform to show their future as actors gives them a sense of ambition and ambition to reach the top of the world.
Until Anson gave another answer.
Nicholas couldn't help but be stunned, watching the confident and light smile on Anson's face, and finally raised the corners of his mouth, and repeated, "Continue to be an ordinary person. Ordinary Anson Wood, right?" ?”
A joke made everyone else in the hotel room burst into laughter.
Including Emmanuel.
During Emmanuel’s career, she has taken countless photos and gone through countless interviews, many of which left a deep impression on her, and most of them quickly disappeared from memory; but she I am very sure that this time will be unforgettable for a long time to come.
The "New York Times" was just the beginning of that long interview day. The subsequent "Elephant" crew was surrounded by the bustling media. When Emanuel finished his filming and left for the next job, The media lining up in the hotel corridor can still be described as spectacular.
Later, Emmanuel heard that the interview with the "Elephant" crew lasted until 11:30 in the night, and the crew even had a late-night snack with the reporter——
Still Didn't end.
In desperation, the interview could only go to one paragraph temporarily and continue after getting up the next day.
