The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1018 Hidden Information
There was crackling and strong wind and rain.

It came crashing down on him without warning. Anson's rage made Sean shiver in the strong wind, and a chill ran up from his feet to his head.

What Sean was worried about was happening, his fears, his worries, his nightmares all became reality.

But the point is, he can't refute it or even argue for himself.

It's all his responsibility, isn't it?
Blame yourself.

However, Anson changed the subject and a smile rose slightly on the corner of his mouth.

“Would an elephant have any emotional reaction to crushing an ant?”

"No, no, there is no joy or sadness, nothing. Even though I am not an elephant and you are not an ant, this is the truth."

"So, while you're wallowing in the hell of guilt and self-blame, why don't you help me finish some things and compensate for the loss with your labor? What do you think?"

Sean froze.

Literally, the whole person was frozen in place, his body and brain were completely unable to move, he completely lost the ability to react, and stood there in a daze.

Anson didn't get a response, but he didn't mind and continued on his own.

"There is one more thing. I may need you to cooperate with me in completing the rehabilitation work. I believe that you have your own experience and lessons in dealing with these injuries, which can help me avoid detours. I am looking forward to returning to the set as soon as possible."

"Three weeks. Ah, it's longer than I thought."

Sean was slow to react and ultimately could not control himself. He turned around, raised the back of his hand and rubbed his eyes in panic, his shoulders trembling slightly. But it was only a brief moment before he regained his senses, turned back to look at Anson, and tried to speak, but found that his lips were completely stuck and could not open. In the end, he could only nod randomly to express his affirmation.

However, this time Sean got no response.

Looking up suddenly, Sean discovered that Anson was lying on the pillow, looking up at the sky. He obviously couldn't see his movements, so it was no wonder that he didn't respond.

"Okay. I got it." Sean started to speak, only to then realize that his voice was very hoarse.

This time, Anson raised his head slightly. "Sean, did you notice anything after the accident?"

Sean was about to repeat the experience again. He had repeated it countless times and didn't care to repeat it one more time.

But unexpectedly, Anson interrupted him.

"Not in the process, but after the accident."

"I believe you have repeated the entire accident process countless times. There is no point in continuing to repeat it. Instead, you may mechanically repeat the same content due to numbness, resulting in missing details and replacing them with details you imagined."

"What I want to inquire about is after the accident."

"I know, the scene must have been a mess, everyone rushed towards me, the entire crew swarmed over, you must have been scared too."

"But, at that time, did you notice anyone running in the opposite direction?"

"When everyone was running towards me, did anyone try to leave the scene? Generally speaking, even if someone thought of calling 911 or asking for help, that would be the second reaction. The first reaction must be to go forward to confirm the situation. Only one person would try to leave the scene."

Sean gradually understood.

Other things are just incidental. The real purpose of Anson and Sean's conversation is here. Not only Lucas and Nora, but Anson himself has been trying to recall the details of the whole process, trying to find the real culprit responsible for this incident, so he needs Sean to awaken his subconscious memory.

But the point is, after the accident, Sean's attention was also immediately focused on Anson. How could he have time to pay attention to other things?

"You said that the glare from the flash caused you to close your eyes, which then triggered a series of chain reactions. That means that if the flash was directly in front of your eyes, the glare would have been different if it was off track."

"So, in that direction, did you notice other figures in your peripheral vision that stood out from the crowd and were different from the others?" "I know your attention wasn't there at the time, but our brains are amazing. Those images are imprinted deep in our subconscious, and we don't even realize that we saw those details."

“Eyes and brain are recorders that are clearer and more vivid than all the cameras in the world.”

"Now, close your eyes and let us recreate the scene bit by bit, and piece together the scene after what happened."

Sean took a deep breath and calmed himself down, he knew his chance had come, a chance to redeem himself, he needed to concentrate 100%.

Under Anson's guidance, all this seemed not to be a difficult task.

Those memories were like puzzle pieces scattered deep in his brain. He was completely unaware of their existence, but after calming down, they were awakened bit by bit, pieced together again, and vividly presented the entire scene.

"Yes! I saw it!"

Sean exclaimed, unable to believe it.

……

"Exclusive news:
Anson Wood was injured during the filming of Spider-Man 2 in New Jersey.

According to the crew's official spokesperson, Anson is currently resting according to the doctor's orders, and the specific injury situation is awaiting further observation and analysis by the doctor; but Anson is in good spirits and is looking forward to returning to the crew."

Boom, boom boom boom.

It was a heavy bomb, thrown directly out, and the entire North American continent was collectively shocked.

The first scoop, as always, comes from The New York Times.

The point is that, judging from the text, the situation does not seem to be too serious, but a closer look will reveal the cover-up in the official press release. Combined with the strict precautions taken by the crew inside and outside after the accident, the reporters immediately realized that there was something fishy going on.

The situation may not be that optimistic.

In the hustle and bustle, reporters still surrounded Mount Sinai Hospital in three layers. Even though the New York Times released the news, the crew and Sony Columbia also released official press releases later, which were almost the same as the New York Times news, but precisely because of this, more suspicion was aroused.

Because the wording and sentence structure in different reports are too similar, it seems that this news should have been released after internal discussion and communication, just to reassure the outside world.

So does this mean that the reality may be far worse than expected, and that the Spider-Man 2 crew and Sony Columbia are doing damage control?

An idea took root in the reporters' minds and they could no longer hold back.

As time went by, the media finally gave full play to their abilities and penetrated into the hospital in every possible way, with all kinds of reports flying around.

And it's getting more and more outrageous.

One moment they said that Anson was faking an injury, but in fact Anson was not injured at all. He was just acting like a big shot on the crew, had a conflict with the staff, and threatened the crew with his injury.

One moment later, it was said that Anson was in critical condition and facing a life-threatening situation. The doctor said that the next forty-eight hours were crucial and that his life might be hanging by a thread.

Later on, Anson's paralysis was even more serious than Christopher Reeve's, and he might never be able to stand up again in his life.

Then he said that it was all hype, and that it was a self-promotion staged by Anson in cooperation with Sony and Columbia, with the purpose of boosting the popularity of "Spider-Man 2".

At first, netizens were discussing the matter excitedly, with supporters and opponents, conspiracy theorists and fanatical fans arguing endlessly; but soon, netizens themselves realized that the matter was too absurd and outrageous, each side had a different statement, and the possibility of fabrication was very high.

This scene, in 2003, seemed a little strange and could be called a wonder.
