The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1122 Breaking Imagination
Walking against the current in the bustling and shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, you can clearly see the excitement on every face.

"Russell ahh ...

“…He’s like a child.”

"I've watched 'A Beautiful Mind' ten times, ten times."

Those joys and happiness are so fresh and vivid.

Similarly, Nicholas' steps became lighter, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he even began to exchange glances and high-five with the enthusiastic fans around him. His mood seemed to climb into the clouds, turning the premiere into a carnival party.

Until I finally broke out of the crowd, regained some breathing space, and rushed all the way to my parking spot.

Wait, why... it feels like he's not the only one "going in the opposite direction"?
With a quick glance around, I could see at least five people rushing towards the parking lot outside the blocked block. The vague figures of them running wildly gathered at the end of my eyes, and the whole world was spinning at high speed like a whirlpool.

Maybe, it's just an illusion.

He couldn't just assume that because he was leaving, other people were thinking the same thing, right?
However, after a short while, Nicholas realized that -

It's not an illusion.

After finding a parking space again and leaving the driver's seat, Nicholas immediately caught sight of several figures, all of whom, like him, had just arrived at the Wilshire Theatre.

They exchanged glances with each other, and the unspoken tacit understanding surged in the air. Without any conversation, they walked in the same direction.

The air is slightly calm.

The Wilshire Theatre is located in the center of a residential area, surrounded by low-rise bungalows. Walking up the sloping path of Beverly Hills, you can see the off-white building hidden behind the vines, and the iconic ancient Roman arcade design immediately comes into view.

There are no commercial districts, no large shopping malls, no tourist attractions, and even no convenience stores or restaurants, so there are no crowds of tourists coming and going around. If they didn't come here specifically to watch a movie, there probably wouldn't be that many strangers passing by this area.

Therefore, silence is the norm.

But Nicholas was still a little confused, because it was normal to be lively during the premiere. Even though the scale of the premiere of "The Butterfly Effect" could not be compared with that of "Master and Commander", it was not so deserted.

Turning a corner, we entered the block where the Wilshire Theatre was located. The surging crowd instantly filled our vision. A long line of people climbed up the slope and stood neatly against the red brick wall. The road in the middle was completely open, vehicles were prohibited from passing, but pedestrians could walk freely.

There was no red carpet.

From a distance, the red carpet only extends to a small section at the main entrance of the Wilshire Theatre.

The Wilshire Theatre is located in a remote area. It is located at the T-point of a T-shaped intersection. A north-south road runs through it, and a straight downhill road extends eastward. Behind the west side of the theatre is a dead end, which is used as a small parking lot exclusively for the theatre.

At this time, Nicholas and his friends slowly walked uphill along the east side of the road, and after crossing the three-way intersection they arrived at the Wilshire Theatre.

In the past, when the premiere was held at the Wilshire Theatre, this road was laid out with a red carpet, and after the north-south road was blocked, reporters and audiences stood on both sides, waiting for the guests to arrive.

Today, but not.

The uphill and downhill road is completely open, as is the north-south road. Only the small parking lane in front of the theater is covered with red carpet.

Nicholas was a little confused, so where should Anson and the others get off? And where should the reporters and the audience watch the premiere red carpet?

With such a completely open layout, can safety and order be guaranteed?

Question marks, one after another. However, this is what Nicholas expected.

It’s unpredictable, unimaginable, rule-breaking, and subversive. It’s completely different from any ordinary premiere, making the audience curious.

Sure enough, Anson will not disappoint.

Some might say, why not consider this as New Line Cinema’s inspiration?
Nicholas would not deny this possibility, but in his opinion, this is Anson's first film as a producer, so he must be more attentive and proactive. In addition, the film and another monster movie are scheduled to collide head-on, so Anson cannot just sit back and watch. Anson always brings surprises.

Slowly, Nicholas took a step forward.

At this time, the T-intersection was full of people coming and going, including audiences, reporters, and if Nicholas was not mistaken, crew members.

The scene was like a garden party, with everyone scattered around and enjoying their time.

So, what are they doing?

On the three roads, there are square sheds that look like telephone booths. At a glance, there are at least ten of them, maybe more.

The crowd was bustling around the telephone booth with laughter and joy. They went inside, stayed for a short while, and then came out, holding a stack of things mysteriously in their hands, looking excited and happy, and then went to the next shed.

Unfortunately, these sheds, like camping tents, block your view and you can’t see inside. Unless you go up there yourself, you’ll have no way of knowing what’s going on inside.

Nicholas made a quick assessment and decided to first figure out what was going on with the long line of people leaning against the wall on the right. His intuition told him:

This is the starting point.

So, Nicholas also obediently started to line up and moved with the team -

Although the team was like a long dragon, they were advancing very quickly. In less than five minutes, Nicholas had reached the top of the slope along the slope. He turned right and the view suddenly opened up.

This place is opposite the Wilshire Theatre. Originally, it was a residential parking lot. However, due to the slopes and narrow roads nearby, there is a special small parking lot here for nearby residents and visitors to park, which is separate from the theatre's own parking lot.

At this time, the parking lot was full of people, and ten game consoles were neatly lined up, which made Nicholas very confused.

Game console?
Are you serious?

Because there were enough game consoles, it was no wonder that the team was moving so fast. After a while, Nicholas had already arrived in front of a game console. The screen read:

"If you could go back in time, which year would you like to go back to?"

Nicholas was stunned. It turned out not to be a game console. He subconsciously entered a year, 1994.

Then, a line of words appeared on the screen.

"Ah, 1994. I know you're going to say that it was a year full of classic movies, but you know what? I'm tired of names like 'The Shawshank Redemption', 'Forrest Gump', and 'Pulp Fiction'. They're not that great. I think you should check out 'Under the Olive Trees'. It's also a masterpiece of 1994 that you can't miss."

what!
Nicholas couldn't help laughing out loud, but this was not the end.

After a pause, another line of words appeared.

"What? Everyone knows Abbas? Do you really think I'm an artificial intelligence?
Well, 'The Wild Reeds' is equally recommended. I wish you a pleasant viewing."
