Chapter 950 Actions from behind
“Anson.”
As soon as he entered the door, Edgar found his target and called out.
"Exactly."
"Eve and I just discussed, are you sure the upcoming European street tour will go ahead as planned, without the need for additional security?"
"We all believe that after the Cannes Film Festival, your recognition in Europe is different. The situation may be a bit complicated. We'd better..."
I couldn't finish the words.
As soon as he raised his head, Edgar noticed Anson's eyes:
Calm and deep, as if he could see through all disguises.
Without words, Edgar understood what was going on. He couldn't help but trembled, but he still held on to his senses and remained calm.
Taking a deep breath, Edgar calmed down.
"Your expression doesn't look good. It doesn't look like you just won the Palme d'Or. Come on, sit down and tell me what happened."
Anson looked at it carefully. Edgar, he decided to open the skylight and speak frankly, there is no need to beat around the bush.
"I just learned that the crew of 'Spider-Man 2' has moved forward the filming schedule because of my schedule conflict?"
Calm and direct, Anson tries his best to avoid preconceived stances , maintain an objective attitude and start the conversation.
Edgar was stunned——
I didn’t expect it at all, it was actually like this?
After a pause, Edgar asked, "Who told you this?"
Anson raised his eyebrows slightly, Edgar did not answer the question directly, but instead Going after the source, what does this mean?
“A bird,” said Anson.
Edgar noticed Anson's eyes, and there was a storm brewing beneath the calm.
So, what should he do?
It was at moments like this that Edgar was annoyed by Anson's intelligence and wisdom, which always saw through the disguise easily, which put him in trouble.
But after thinking about it, Edgar realized that this was the reason why he believed in Anson.
They have enjoyed the positive side and the cooperation has been smooth sailing; now they need to face the negative side and face the test.
In a flash of lightning, with his mind spinning, Edgar made a choice -
Tell the truth.
Edgar can lie. Anyway, there is no evidence and no traces can be found; but he knows that some things do not require evidence. A crack in trust will appear. If a seed of doubt is planted, things will be over. Out of control.
Especially when facing Anson.
"That's true." Edgar nodded, "I was the one who convinced Sony Columbia to advance the shooting schedule to June to avoid missing next summer's schedule."
really.
Anson's heart sank slightly. Even though he accurately judged the reality, he still felt bitter.
Anson kept calm, "Why?"
Edgar was a little embarrassed, "Anson, you know..."
Anson shook his head gently, "I need you Tell me personally, I am not the only one who speculates, speculates, and imagines. I know that real life is full of lies and hypocrisy, and Hollywood is even more so, but at least I hope that we can be honest."
"Remember? From the beginning, our cooperation has been based on honesty."
Edgar paused and took a deep breath, "Because I don't want you to take over the filming of 'Princess Diaries 2' '."
"I know that because of Garry Marshall and Anne Hathaway, this friendship is there, no matter what, you will take this movie."
"But."
"That script was a disaster, a complete disaster. Gary Marshall didn't know what he was doing, and Disney didn't want to put too much thought into it. From the characters to the story, it was a complete disaster. Disaster.”
"There is a difference between naivety and stupidity, but obviously this script did not recognize it clearly."
"I can't just watch you jump into the fire pit and ruin the good situation that I finally won." The truth is revealed. .
Anson's intuition was correct, but Anson was not happy at all with his accurate prediction.
Facing the truth, the cruelty and sadness of reality made the internal organs begin to suffer.
"Captain, things shouldn't be like this." Anson did not hide his disappointment.
“I know that every actor hopes that the works he stars in will be successful and will always be successful, because those works will always stay there, and they will still be there ten, twenty, or fifty years later. , once you make a mistake, it will be forever.”
“But the point is not here, but the experience and memory behind each work, which is irreplaceable, just like an adventure.”
“Not every adventure can be successful, but failed adventures are equally valuable, and the setbacks experienced with friends are also precious memories.”
“The same is true for movies.”
"Which actor has not starred in one or two bad movies in his career? An actor's career without bad movies is incomplete. Even bad movies can become a kind of memory in the future. Face those memories calmly."< br>
“Without Gary Marshall, I wouldn’t be where I am now. Things shouldn’t be like this.”
Edgar was not surprised by Anson’s reaction.
Not only was he not surprised, but he was completely right. Edgar also looked depressed.
“That’s what I know.”
In a rare moment, Edgar did not back down, "I knew you would definitely accept that script, even if it was a complete pile of rubbish."
"So I stood up and shouldered the responsibility of an agent. , reject it and stop you from being stupid, this is my job, isn't it?"
Anson shook his head, "No, you should tell me, let me decide."
Edgar, "If it were up to you, what would you do next? Isn't the answer already clear? You are not thinking rationally, you are purely emotional, and you agreed unconditionally because of Gary Marshall."
< br>"No, this is not you."
"I won't allow this to happen."
"Anson, that is a disaster script. You are playing monkey in it like a fool. Disney is completely using you as a vase and a clown. You know it." It’s a trap, but you’ll still step into it, right?”
“How can I tell you?”
“We’ll spend a lot of money. Licai finally got rid of the vase label and tried to create a new actor image for you, but ended up going back and completely zeroing in on "Princess Diary 2"? I won't allow this to happen."
"Yes. , you are right.”
"Not every adventure will be successful. Actors will inevitably encounter bad movies. In the future, they will be able to laugh and talk about those memories; but no one will jump into a cesspit knowing that it is a cesspit, and then lament that they are doing it with all their heart."
"Do you think everyone is qualified to recall the experiences of making bad movies and discuss with a smile the experiences of those bad movies that have been recorded in history?"
"No, only successful people have such rights. Not even one in a hundred."
"And what about the others? They have long since disappeared from Hollywood, and people don't even remember them. Who wants to listen to their experiences?"
"I can't..."
"God, I can't just watch you jump into the manure pit."
On a rare occasion, Edgar got angry.
Obviously he was the one who did the wrong thing, but now he turned the situation around and burst out, venting everything in a voluble, suppressing Anson with all his might.
Until——
Edgar discovered that Anson did not respond.
Anson always looked at him calmly, without interrupting or avoiding, just listening quietly, remaining calm in the storm.
This kind of calmness made Edgar uneasy.
