Chapter 1118 The Eyes of the Judge
This year, Anson has experienced a series of storms, including the wonderful moment of standing on the highest podium at the Cannes Film Festival, and the struggle of floating in the darkness after an accidental injury; there is "Nuan Nuan" The unexpected surprise of "Light Within" and the intricacies of "Princess Diaries 2" were missed.
One year seems extremely long.
But Anson never had a real rest time to calm down and digest the stormy waves.
Originally, this road trip was also work, preparing for the next role and the next project; but unexpectedly, it unexpectedly turned into a journey of escape.
Finally, Anson was able to calm down, all the noise disappeared, completely relaxing his nerves, and letting himself be in a daze in the blankness and tranquility.
The scenery outside the car window continues to recede, and the colorful and brilliant colors finally evolve into a gurgling river, flowing at the end of the sight.
Sometimes it is desolate, primitive, withered, and dilapidated; sometimes it is grand, majestic, beautiful, and graceful.
Standing in front of nature, human beings can always feel their own insignificance, but there is no doubt that beyond daily necessities, there is a vast world waiting to be explored.
At certain moments, Anson couldn't help but think that Vivian had been staying in Memphis to raise four children, her life was trapped in a small box; while Johnny had been on the road trip. , tour, lights, applause, cheers, this is another completely different life. Is this one of the many reasons why the two people are drifting apart?
As public figures, Johnny Cash and June Carter have always had the opportunity to tell their stories in front of the media. Johnny even published two personal biographies; however, Vivian, as an ordinary person, has no such opportunity. Chances are, her voice has always been ignored and forgotten.
The same was true during the preparation of the "Walking with Songs" project. From Kitcher to Mangold, they never asked, what was Vivian's opinion?
Anson vaguely remembered that in his previous life, due to the advent of "Walking with the Song", countless people shed tears for the love of Johnny Cash and June Carter, so much so that Johnny and Vivian The four children were particularly sad, so Vivian finally spoke out after many years of silence and published a personal biography -
telling Vivian's version of the story for the world to comment on.
Unfortunately, Anson has never read that biography.
Anson once considered whether he should contact Vivian privately, but finally gave up.
If we take into account the multiple opinions of Johnny, Vivian and June Carter, and retell the story of Johnny Cash from an objective standpoint, the entire script needs to be completely overturned and rewritten. This is a problem, too much It is another problem to be greedy and try to cover everything, but in the end you may not be able to take care of all the watermelons and sesame seeds.
In the final analysis, Anson understands the difficulties of script creation all too well.
Although Vivian takes a back seat in Johnny's story, Anson can't help but think about everything we have experienced and everyone we have met, and the little things that have made us what we are today. Himself; So, what role does Vivian play in Johnny's life? Is it more positive or negative?
Now, Anson finally understands why some people are so keen on road trips.
A road trip is equivalent to exploring the land under your feet inch by inch, experiencing and witnessing it. This is a scenery that cannot be experienced by traveling between different cities by planes and trains.
At the same time, when only yourself and nature are left in the world, this also means that the world has finally become quiet, you can hear your own voice, you can also have a conversation with yourself, and eating and drinking in the busy life has evolved into a kind of survival. In the instinctive modern social life, everyone needs this kind of time.
Allowing to slow down, allowing to waste time in a daze, allowing to find breathing space... Such luxury is exactly what modern life lacks.
Originally, Anson planned to follow Johnny's footsteps to explore the era he experienced, but he did not expect that he would accidentally make a journey of his own.
This is a small gain.
Unfortunately, the journey did not last long. In just three weeks, Anson had to turn around and return to Los Angeles -
"Butterfly Effect" to prepare for the premiere. However, Anson is not worried. When the movie promotion period is over, he can continue his journey with a car and a guitar, which is enough.
Only now, Anson needs to withdraw his attention and return to his own work for the time being.
Edgar was a little nervous and a little expectant.
After much waiting and eager anticipation, Anson's first film as a producer in his career is finally about to be released.
Not only Edgar, but countless eyes from all over Hollywood were directed towards him.
In May of this year, "Elephant" topped the highest podium at the Cannes Film Festival, changing Anson's career in one fell swoop, and facing "severe challenges" to his vase image.
In an instant, people inside and outside the Hollywood industry began to wonder, is this a coincidence? Or could it be said that Anson has a sharp eye and is able to prove his artistic taste?
For the first time, eyes were focused on "Butterfly Effect" because this is Anson's first work as a producer. If "Elephant" may be a beautiful accident, then "Butterfly Effect" You can see Anson's taste and vision as a filmmaker.
type. theme. box office. word of mouth. quality.
And so on, the "Butterfly Effect" will be judged in all aspects.
Of course, objectively speaking, the success or failure of a work is far from enough to judge a producer's ability, but for special situations like Anson, the Hollywood film industry can indeed see a lot.
What’s more, don’t forget to “walk with the song”.
Anson has just taken over the filming of this work, and it is rumored that he will also serve as a producer. This will also be a further attempt for Anson in his career as an actor in just one year. He will not only serve as a producer, but also for the first time Heading into the rush of awards season as a producer, ambition is unreservedly on display.
Various reasons collided together, and the "butterfly effect" has become the center of the topic since the release was finalized.
However, Edgar was not satisfied with the schedule finalized by New Line Cinema.
In Edgar's view, New Line Cinema had some ideas and concepts, but they were still too rough. The final schedule made "Butterfly Effect" surrounded -
like cannon fodder.
New Line Cinema has arranged for "The Butterfly Effect" to be officially fully available in the third week of November. It will be followed by Halloween and Thanksgiving. It will seize a holiday schedule and focus on amplifying the science fiction and family aspects of the movie. Keywords, hoping to capture the audience's attention and create good results in the box office market.
From a paper analysis, there is nothing wrong with this strategy, and it is indeed in line with the type and style of the movie. At least, this period is more suitable than the joyful atmosphere of the whole family at Christmas, and it is also more suitable than the desolation of the autumn period, which is deserted and no one cares about it. Maybe Can rely on Anson's appeal to break out of the siege.
In other words, New Line Cinema is not without ideas and considerations.
However, if consideration only sees the surface, it is like a fool starting to think, and in the end it will be in vain, at least that is what Edgar thinks.
The schedule of "Butterfly Effect"... House of Flying Daggers.
