Chapter 1032 The building was deserted
Anson looked at the black-faced Lucas, and the smile on his lips rose slightly, "Twentieth Century Fox should ask you to play Darth Vader, even if you take off the helmet , his face is just as dark."
Lucas:...
Anson laughed heartily, "Relax, Luca, things have happened, there is no need for us to rush around, why not. Calm down and deal with things one by one."
Lucas was unmoved, "I'm calm."
But obviously, Anson didn't think so. Looking at Lucas's gloomy black face, he surrendered, "Public opinion. We should continue to play the victim. My situation is not optimistic, so Sony Colombia cannot act rashly."
"Indeed, from the perspective of the film company, they have every reason to be prepared. If I really can't continue filming, they should also find a substitute. In this matter, they are also victims."
“But do you remember?”
“The perfect victim. The so-called perfection cannot have moral flaws. At least in the eyes of the public, Sony Columbia should care about my situation first, not I started looking for a successor when my situation was unclear.”
Lucas’ expression remained unchanged for thousands of years, “This is not enough.”
For Sony Colombia, such a counterattack is still not enough.
Lucas thought of Brad Pitt.
It is precisely because Brad Pitt hopes to take more initiative and no longer just be a pawn in the hands of film companies, so he is preparing to set up his own film company.
But Lucas knew that this was not enough, far from enough.
The words used to "attack" Brad before now also apply to Anson, or it should be said that even Brad is temporarily unable to reverse the actor's disadvantage in front of the film company, let alone Anson. ?
Of course, Brad's strategy was correct. He became a member of the game and broke away from the constraints of the film company. Instead, he followed the rules of the game on Wall Street and became a participant in the game with his own funds.
It’s just that this approach is the same as DreamWorks.
DreamWorks seems to be prospering on the surface, but in fact it is at the end of its rope and facing a huge crisis. The great success of the "cat and mouse game" is only a drop in the bucket.
As Lucas said to Brad, if it wants to completely get rid of its constraints, this company needs tens of billions of dollars or even more. It is definitely not something that can be supported by the salary of one or two actors. The company is running.
So, whether Brad or Anson, if they want to have a say and even embarrass large film companies like Sony Columbia, they... need to think long term.
It is impossible to become fat in one bite.
Anson noticed the depth behind Lucas's eyes. He has his own way of thinking, and Lucas has Lucas's. Obviously the two people have different starting points; but Anson can detect the depth in Lucas's head. The sound of high-speed rotation, injuries and paparazzi, and now a Sony Columbia stabbing in the back -
Besieged on all sides.
No wonder, as the saying goes, it’s always cold at high places.
Anson has not even reached the top, but he can already feel the swords and swords of Hollywood leading to the top of the pyramid. I am afraid that Lucas will also need some time.
"Calm down, Luca, calm down. There is no need to rush. Take it step by step and solve it one by one."
"How about I introduce a friend to you first?"
Anson Trying to lighten the mood.
Lucas looked at Anson and felt a little strange. He was obviously the older brother, so why did Anson reverse his position and come to comfort him now?
However, Lucas did not refuse, because he knew that things could not be rushed. After truly establishing the direction and goal, he regained his sense and looked at Anson again. His eyes regained their calmness. .
"Friends?" Lucas didn't understand. "Why have you been emphasizing friends from the beginning? What friends are you going to introduce to me?"
After a pause, a thought flashed through Lucas' mind. .
"Wait a minute, are you planning to introduce your date? I will kill you." Every word, gritted teeth.
Anson laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, it's not my turn. I'm just a friend. Do you remember the last time I went to see a movie in San Francisco? I met a friend..."
Lucas, "...Anne Hathaway?"
Anson, "Yes, she is too, you already know her. I mean Jack, he and his friends...sneaked away, I didn't have time to introduce you to each other. Today he made a special trip back to New York to visit..."
Lucas looked around, "You mean, he is here now"
Anson nodded, "Yes, he was one step ahead of you in the bathroom. Jack? It's okay now, you can come out."
Lucas had different ideas and lowered his voice, "Anson , is he reliable? What we just discussed.”
All those secrets were actually heard by a third party?
Anson didn't care, "Don't worry, he will keep it secret, he is trustworthy. Jack? Come out, I will introduce Luca to you."
In the bathroom, there was no response.
Lucas simply turned around and walked to the bathroom, opened the door, "Jack? I am Lucas Wood, Anson's brother..."
Peeking in, Lucas looked to the left He looked to his right, then turned to look at Anson with a puzzled face, "No one."
Anson raised his voice in confusion, "Are you sure? He just hid inside when he heard you coming. Jack, come out, you don't need to hide in there all the time."
Lucas entered the bathroom again , searched every corner, and even opened the shower curtain to check. When he came out, he still shook his head, "Could he have taken advantage of the chaos and sneaked out?"
Anson was still there. His head was full of questions, "Maybe."
Take a deep breath, "It's possible. He...he is no stranger to running away, because there is an alcoholic fist in the family." Anson raised his right fist to signal. After a moment, "He still needs to protect his mother, so the slightest disturbance may make him nervous."
Lucas nodded gently, "How do you know him?"
Anson, "I saw his father beating his mother on the street. He ran away with wounds all over his body and tried to call for help. I couldn't sit idly by."
Understatement, but I can feel the pain inside. and sadness.
Lucas thought for a while, "You can't save everyone."
Anson chuckled, "I know. Even Spider-Man can't save everyone, let alone , I’m not a superhero yet. So I like movies.”
“When the lights in the theater go out, for two hours, we can enter another world and be saved briefly; Movies can also be a ray of hope and the courage for some people to continue to persevere.”
"Movies are also powerful."
Lucas watched Anson quietly. After experiencing confusion and confusion, struggle and wandering, Anson seemed to have finally found the focus of life, even though Hollywood Vanity Fair was like purgatory. , but for Anson, he gained far more than he lost.
This is a good thing.
Lucas said, "It's the same as a dream?"
The smile on Anson's lips fully bloomed, "Yes, it's the same as a dream."
Lucas, "Hope Jack is doing well and that he can get the courage from you to chase his dreams. As for the scumbags shaking their fists at women and children, let's hope he doesn't die so soon, but After enduring endless pain, I couldn’t die even if I wanted to.”
Anson, “This is a good idea.”
