The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1069: A hair's breadth away
Surprise, unexpected.

Joy, excitement.

With all kinds of emotions intertwined in his chest, Sam looked at Anson seriously, and even for a brief moment, he began to doubt his own eyes.

Sam couldn't help but look left and right, trying to confirm that he was not the only one who saw Anson.

With just one movement, Anson's mouth curled up slightly. "Relax, director. This is not 'The Phantom of the Opera'."

Then, Anson turned around and looked around. "I guess the Public Theatre isn't big enough to hide in."

Now, Sam was 100% sure that the person in front of him was indeed Anson.

He couldn't have imagined such a joke based on his own imagination.

But he was still a little dizzy, and Sam couldn't come back to his senses, "But why are you here?"

Anson was stunned: ...

"Director, so now I'm an unpopular person?"

Sam then realized that his words might be ambiguous, and he waved his hands and shook his head, trying to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

Anson's smile blossomed, and he patted Sam's shoulder gently. "Director, please continue working. Don't delay the filming because of me. Otherwise, if I delay getting off work today, I might really become someone unwelcome in the crew."

Sam's brain was still a little tangled, and he couldn't keep up with Anson's thoughts at all.

Anson took the initiative, "Director, are you sure you don't need my help? I can help Christen with the rehearsal."

Sam didn't say anything, just nodded repeatedly: Of course. Of course! It couldn't be better!
Anson raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Then I'll be back soon."

"Shh!"

Anson motioned for everyone to remain quiet.

Everything seems to have not changed——

The past three weeks have been nothing more than a short break in a midsummer afternoon. I opened my eyes and everything was back to normal.

But is it really so? Or are they still in a dream, a midsummer night's dream?

Sam was a little unsure.

Looking up and around, he could see that other people were just like Sam, staring at Anson's back with excitement and confusion, joy and dreaminess. Although their eyes were filled with incredible confusion, the slightly upturned corners of their mouths inadvertently revealed their true emotions.

The atmosphere quietly became lighter.

The person involved seemed completely unaware of the commotion he had caused.

Anson left the monitor, crouched down, and walked through the auditorium, bowing his head and apologizing like a latecomer to a theater performance.

In order to shoot this scene, the theater was packed with extras who filled the entire space. However, only after actually experiencing it did they realize how difficult filming was. In real life, the five or ten seconds of footage shown on the movie screen might take a whole day to shoot. So they were trapped in the theater, caught in an endless loop.

At this time, there are still people who are "late"?
There was a low, rustling sound in the audience seats to express their protest, but after all, this was not a real theater and they were not real audiences. After a brief moment of commotion, the extras all quieted down again.

After a moment of daze, he could not help but pause:
Um, wait, that man who just walked by… Anson?
……

On stage, Kristen was not paying attention.

She was thinking over her performance and had found some feeling for it, but she felt it was still not quite there. The director did not comment at all, and she became more and more certain that her performance was not good enough. She was in a state of confusion and lost her self-judgment.

She wanted to do it again.

But they had been busy in the theater for more than two hours and still had no breakthrough. Every additional shot was an extra torture for the entire crew. The words had already come to their lips, but they hesitated, which was rare.

Confidence is slightly lacking.

At this time, there was a commotion in the audience seats, and it seemed that the extras were also getting impatient, which made Christen hesitate and struggle even more. That feeling... was terrible.

Then--

"Let's do it again."

Sam's voice was heard from behind the monitor, which made Kristen feel relieved and she responded crisply.

"it is good!"

He turned around, took a deep breath, clenched his fists secretly, and cheered himself up.

In this scene, the focus is on Mary Jane.

In the second part of the series, Mary Jane, who has always lacked a sense of security, quickly accepted the pursuit of others after being rejected by Peter Parker, and panickedly dived into another harbor to escape reality.

However, emotions are not switches that can be turned on and off easily. Mary Jane still likes Peter Parker, and she can't understand why Peter Parker rejects her at all.

Because Peter seemed to like her, and he kept hinting at it in obvious and subtle ways. His eyes, his attitude, his thoughts were all unpredictable.

After graduation, Mary Jane's dream of becoming an actress finally came true. She was discovered on the street, filmed a commercial, and then got the opportunity to perform on Off-Broadway, finally becoming an actress.

Mary Jane has been inviting Peter Parker - and her other friends - to watch her performances. She can't figure out what she's thinking, but she's looking forward to seeing Peter in the audience.

She kept convincing herself that Peter had rejected her, that Peter was already the past, that nothing had ever started between them, and that she shouldn't and didn't need to expect more.

But she still couldn't control herself.

A feeling that is hard to describe.

Then, she was disappointed.

Peter had promised to come to the show, but he kept standing up, which made Mary Jane extremely disappointed.

To Peter, and even more to myself.

In fact, Peter was sincere, he really wanted to go and watch Mary Jane's performance; however, time and time again, Peter was always delayed by Spider-Man's work.

Just like his decision to reject Mary Jane, Peter hopes to shoulder the responsibility of Spider-Man; but the price is that his own life is a mess, and his daily life is torn apart by various crimes and accidents. This is the real reason why he misses the performance again and again.

While Mary Jane was suffering, so was Peter.

However, Mary Jane was kept in the dark and knew nothing.

After her extravagant hopes were dashed time and time again, Mary Jane fell into an abyss of pain.

She felt that she deserved it. She shouldn't continue to hope for a man who would never respond to her. She should focus on the happiness in front of her.

So, she agreed to her boyfriend's proposal.

But she never expected that she would actually see Peter in the audience seats.

This scene is being filmed right now.

After being repeatedly disappointed and expecting something, Mary Jane finally made up her mind to turn around and move on with her life, but she saw Peter in the audience.

Everything seems like a joke of fate.

Mary Jane believed that she had gathered her emotions and was ready to say goodbye to the past and Peter, but when Peter appeared, she was stunned as if struck by lightning.

The emotional impact was not only complex but also overwhelming, catching her off guard.

Even she herself did not expect it to be so strong, which made her panic and scared.
