Chapter 1109: Calm
McCusker stepped back gently, left Michael Linton's office, closed the door respectfully, and finally let out a breath.
That’s it?
It seems that Michael has already forgotten "Walking with Songs" and does not take it to heart at all. It is in vain that he has been thinking about it all the time.
However, when I think about it, there is really nothing special about this project. Similar biographical projects can be seen in Hollywood every day on average, and the ones that can really make some splash are probably less than one percent.
Everyone has the daydream of "entering the award season with a biographical film". Anyway, dreaming doesn't cost any money or effort, it all depends on imagination.
Besides, Anson, that vase, is serious about acting?
Haha.
After thinking about the picture in his mind, McCusker couldn't help but shuddered, goosebumps appeared crazily, and he quickly dismissed the picture in his mind.
You shouldn't think too much, you really shouldn't.
Then, McCusker turned and stepped back, immediately forgetting about the incident.
It’s not just Michael and McCusker, Hollywood is the same -
"Walking with Songs" did not stir up any splashes, just like a mud cow sinking into the sea.
Last year, when Anson starred in "Elephant", the media made a fuss, complained and ridiculed. Anson's intention to transform was too obvious and too hard, and it was ridiculous to the point of being funny.
As a result, the collective was slapped in the face.
Of course, some tough-talking media still stubbornly insist on their point of view. The "Elephant" reaching the top of the Palme d'Or is the credit of Gus Van Sant. It has nothing to do with Anson. Anson is still the vase.
This time, after the news was officially confirmed to star Anson in "Singing with the Song", Hollywood has become accustomed to it. Anyway, Anson's intention to try to reverse his image and break the shackles is already known to everyone.
There is no need to pay too much attention, just let the vase fiddle with itself.
No ridicule, no complaints, no attacks, nothing.
For Hollywood and the media, Anson's appearance in a commercial film again is news, while Anson's appearance in a biographical film has no reporting value——
Anyway, the ending is to rush to the street, right?
In fact, the rumor that has been buzzing throughout Hollywood recently is that Anson may star in "007" James Bond, which is much more exciting.
Judging from various circumstances, Anson has nothing to do with James Bond. He is not British, is only 21 years old, and is trying to be a Spider-Man. No matter how you look at it, Anson is not suitable. .
However, the media was abuzz and netizens were noisy.
One or two others were booing.
TMZ listed all the suits Anson wore in Cannes. They said this may be the most handsome, chic and fashionable 007 in history.
A lot of netizens expressed their agreement.
In the community forum, there were even enthusiastic movie fans who personally drew movie posters of Anson playing James Bond. This series of seven posters caused a sensation in the forum and was widely praised and cheered. Come on.
Even attracted the attention of the media.
Finally, it was bought by "American Weekly" at a high price and published in the latest issue of the magazine, pushing the rumors of Anson and 007 to a new peak.
Who wants to see Anson star in any biographical movie? 007 is the way to go!
It is in this wave of news frenzy that the news of "Walking with Songs" is exactly the same as when Sandra Bullock appeared in "Murder by Numbers".
This is the challenge and pain that vase needs to face in its transformation.
People have formed relatively fixed and stereotyped impressions, using frames to constrain the possibilities of actors. Every new attempt or every adventure and challenge may face unimaginable heavy pressure——
< br>Before it even started, people had already presupposed that this was a catastrophic failure, and then impatiently said, "There is no need to struggle, let's continue to rely on appearance."
The situation of "Elephant" was bad enough at that time, but now "Walking with the Song" can actually continue to slide to the bottom. It was not clear for a while whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for the "elephant" to reach the top of the Palme d'Or.
However, for Kitcher and Mangold, they don’t care about this. The only important thing is that “Walking with Songs” has finally entered the promotion stage——
After the male lead has been chosen, they can then begin a comprehensive audition and choose a filming location, and the filming plan of the film will be fully launched.
Finally!
After ten years of going around and around, the project finally took the most difficult and important step. Kitcher and Mangold were almost crying.
In this wave of news that no one pays attention to, a small important point is drowned in the ocean of information.
“‘Walking with Songs’ has officially signed a contract with Forestry Pictures, and Forestry Pictures will be responsible for producing the film.”
Forestry Pictures, who is this?
No one pays attention, and no one cares, because this is Hollywood. Every day, there are funds that want to get a share of Vanity Fair. Similarly, every day, there are unsustainable production companies closing their doors, and people come and go. There are countless people, and people have long been accustomed to automatically ignoring this information——
Of course, if a certain force comes to Hollywood with 10 billion US dollars, it may be worthy of a little attention, otherwise it won't be of much value.
All in all, another new film company has quietly taken its first steps in Hollywood.
……
Ding.
The supermarket door opened, and a man wearing a black shirt and a dark brown cowboy hat walked out, carrying a heavy black guitar on his shoulders, and holding two plastic bags in his hands. He walked slowly towards the parking lot.
Three seconds later, the supermarket door opened again.
A woman dressed neatly in a white T-shirt and jeans came out. She was wearing a baseball cap, her chin slightly tucked in, and the shadow cast by the brim of the hat covered most of her face. Her hands were empty. He quickly raised his head to scan, but then immediately lowered his head.
"Sorry..."
When we met an old man pushing a cart and was about to enter the supermarket, the woman blocked the way. After she realized it, she got out of the way and apologized in a low voice.
While waiting to shake her head again, the woman realized that the man in black was nowhere to be found in the parking lot, and she couldn't help but panic.
The man in black was tall and conspicuous even where he stood, but now he was completely invisible in the parking lot.
The woman trotted forward and quickly approached the man's car -
It was still in the parking lot, but the driver's seat and the car were empty.
The woman was stunned, slowed down for a moment, and her brain immediately reacted:
Trap.
However, when the woman was about to turn around and run away, she found a man in black standing at the back of a pickup truck behind him, looking at her with a smile.
Catch the packet on the spot.
The woman was a little embarrassed, and her brain began to work at high speed, thinking about how to get out.
As a result, the man had already spoken first.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Witherspoon, what a coincidence. Are you also coming to the supermarket to buy daily necessities?"
There was clearly a hint of ridicule and joking in those polite and gentlemanly words, naturally revealing the comfort of a cat playing with a mouse.
