Chapter 1035 Stabbing in the Back
“So, you’re preparing to fight back, right? You’re going to fight for the role, right?”
“Honestly, I’ve always felt that Sony Columbia’s decision-making Weird, why would they want to replace you? It doesn’t make sense at all.”
“It’s not your Spider-Man, it feels different”
Relax your nerves. Kristen was a bit talkative, and the thoughts in her mind were pouring out. It could be seen that she was sincere.
After saying this, she realized this and looked at Anson with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Anson responded with a smile, "I still remember that you agreed to participate in the audition because of me. Now it seems that you really like me; will Jack be jealous?"
< br>"Ha. Ha. You are still funny. Jack said you are no match for him." Kristen said calmly.
Anson shrugged lightly, "I can't stop others from daydreaming."
This time, Kristen really relaxed and laughed out loud.
Then, Anson looked at Kristen, "Really, don't worry about me, I already know the news, and I will do my best to get the role; but you still look worried, so, is there anything else?"
Kristen’s expression was slightly unnatural, and struggle and hesitation could be clearly seen between her eyebrows.
Anson, "It's Jack, right?"
Kristen gasped; gaping at Anson.
Although he didn’t say anything, the answer couldn’t be more obvious.
The Jack mentioned here is not Jack Forrest, but Jake Gyllenhaal.
Anson raised his chin slightly, "So, it is indeed Jack."
"Let me guess, Sony Columbia is preparing to find a successor because of my injury, and be prepared for both; Jack is one of them."
"The point is, Jack is very interested and wants to say yes."
"You don't agree with the idea, but you don't know what you should choose. .”
"One is your boyfriend, the other is your partner and friend, and this friend and your boyfriend are also friends. You are not even sure whether you should tell your friend, because you don't know whether you should choose friendship or love, so you It seems to be torn apart.”
Kristen covered her mouth with disbelief on her face.
Because Anson got everything right, completely, 100%.
Take two steps back, Kristen looked Anson up and down in disbelief.
For a second, Kristen wanted to turn around and leave, running away. She knew she should tell Anson, but this would be tantamount to betraying Jack; but if she didn't say anything, she would wait for Jack to stab her in the back. Anson's stabbing was tantamount to betraying Anson, and she couldn't make a choice.
No matter which answer, it means she failed another person.
Her heart says, choose justice, put aside love and friendship, she should choose the right thing; but if only it were that simple.
In fact, Kristen had a fierce quarrel with Jack over this. More than once, she tried to persuade Jack to give up this ridiculous idea, but Jack refused, which led to the quarrel between the two of them continuing to escalate.
Kristen wanted to tell Anson.
But when the matter came to pass, she could not speak out. Although she was deeply disappointed with Jack, and although she was confident in front of Jack, she stood in front of Anson and could not speak out.
Doing the right thing sounds easy but is actually difficult.
Even now, after Anson revealed the answer, Kristen was still pulling and swaying, unable to make a choice.
Kristen looked at Anson blankly——
Calm, calm, and calm. No anger, no sadness, no bitterness, not even any fluctuations.
Kristen was shocked, "Aren't you sad? Don't you feel betrayed?"
Anson, "Should I?"
Of course, Kristen was stunned for a moment. Don't know how to refute.
Anson, "Look, although friendship exists in Hollywood, opportunities are opportunities. Everyone is equal before opportunities. There is no friendship at all. If necessary, family ties and love should also be put aside. This is Professional."
"For Jack, an opportunity appears here, an opportunity for a career breakthrough. He can seize the opportunity openly and with his own strength without stealing or robbing him. He does not need to feel guilty or avoid suspicion. .”
"If it weren't for our relationship, I believe you would have encouraged him to fight for it, wouldn't you?"
Kristen shook her head repeatedly, "But the point is, we are friends, and there should be a bottom line. "
Anson, "Kristen, you should know how important this opportunity is to Jack's career, and he should do his best to seize the opportunity."
Kristen refused, using all his strength. Power, "No, things shouldn't be like this."
"I know, I know that in Hollywood, in the face of real interests, everything is cold and cruel, and friendship and love don't count; But we are not beasts, we should have reason and conscience, right?”
Indeed, it should be so.
So people often say that there is an ideal society and a real society. The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
From Hayden Christensen to Brad Renfro, including the crew of "Friends", Anson is integrating into this reality Vanity Fair step by step.
In fact, Anson adapted better than expected. After all, he had seen all kinds of warmth and coldness in his previous life.
Some things, if I get them, I’m lucky; if I don’t get them, I’m lucky.
As a child star, Kristen has been in Hollywood for more than ten years and has experienced everything she should and shouldn't have experienced; Jack, on the other hand, was born in a Hollywood family. He has followed his parents since he was a child and knows the operating rules of Vanity Fair.
But the thing is, after experiencing those darkness, some people start to join in the same trend, and keep telling themselves that everyone is like this, so it is normal for them to be like this, and there is nothing to make a fuss about; and some people They are more eager for light and hope, and try to believe that there are still beautiful parts in human nature. Just because everyone does this does not mean that such behavior itself is correct.
Looking at Kristen who was struggling in front of him, Anson showed a wry smile, "So, what do you want Jack to do?"
"Refuse righteously to show your loyalty. And integrity?”
“Hey, Kristen, you’ve been in this industry longer than I have, and you should know that the opportunities seem endless, but there aren’t really that many, there are countless actors competing for one. With little chance, it is very rare for one actor to stand out among the last hundred.”
"I'm not talking about the top actors in the pyramid, just the common blue-collar actors in Hollywood. They are not that simple."
"You can't ask Jack to give up such an opportunity casually."
Kristen understands, of course she does.
It was precisely because she understood that she struggled. Even if she stood in front of Anson, she still couldn't speak out openly.
But, "Aren't you angry?" Christen asked, "I thought you were friends."
Anson said softly, "I thought we were, too."
Behind the understatement, there was a hint of bitterness.
Then the conversation changed, and Anson smiled again, returning to his usual self. With a calm look on his face, he continued nonchalantly, "But friends are friends and work is work, right?"
