The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1142 Two Worlds
"Master and Commander", "Master and Commander"... The headline of the entertainment section of the "Los Angeles Times" is also "Master and Commander", all of it is "Master and Commander".

Carl Leavitt, a film critic and blogger, is not in New York or Los Angeles, but in Paris, where he lives.

His last trip to the Cannes Film Festival and subsequent trips to North America were all due to invitations; otherwise, he would not have enough funds to fly around the world and go to the cinema to watch the premiere as soon as possible.

However, in France he is slowly building up a steady readership.

Ever since Cannes and Anson came into close contact, Carl began to look at Anson differently, and unconsciously, he always habitually looked for news about Anson.

For example, this time——

"The Butterfly Effect" was released.

Carl was also very curious about Anson's aesthetic taste as a producer for the first time; unfortunately, the film collided head-on with "Master and Commander", a heavyweight opponent, and the consequences were obvious, a complete tragedy.

All major news media reports were focused on "Master and Commander".

The Los Angeles Times is no exception.

The reason is very simple. The PR department of 20th Century Fox did an excellent job. They made sure that the headlines of all major media outlets were focused on "Master and Commander". New Line Cinema had no chance at all.

Insufficient budget.

This is the reality. The era when good wine needs no bush is over. Now we have officially entered an era where whoever shouts the loudest can catch attention, and the importance of publicity has been further magnified.

Even Anson couldn't reverse this situation.

In Hollywood, capital is king after all.

Finally, with a glimmer of hope, Carl opened the New York Times website again, trying to find something different in the entertainment section.

however--

"Master and Commander".

Carl was disappointed after all, the last authoritative media fell.

The New York Times has always been partial to Anson, and in the past two years it has written many special reports that have attracted attention and shown different Ansons; but unfortunately, in the face of 20th Century Fox's all-round publicity, they were no exception and left the entertainment headlines to Russell Crowe.

"Hey, wait."

Carl was about to close the page. He had no interest in "Master and Commander", but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a photo, and his fingers couldn't help but stop -

Anson.

This photo is particularly special and completely different from the impression I had of the premiere.

Anson stood in the bustling crowd, with bright smiles on every face. It was obvious that they were enjoying a good time. They surrounded Anson densely. Then Anson seemed to hear a call, raised his head and looked diagonally upwards, just looking at the camera.

Click.

The moment is frozen in time for eternity.

In the crowd and in the noise, Anson still stands out easily.

That face slows down time and catches the eye easily.

"Anson Wood: A Night with Friends -

'The Butterfly Effect' is a movie about life, but it is much more than that."

Glancing at it, Carl could see the author's name, Nicholas Flynn.

and!

The really interesting thing is that the headline position does belong to "Master and Commander", occupying the entire page horizontally, with densely packed text; but right below, the "Butterfly Effect" feature is three times the size, with a huge and long feature accompanied by different photos.

Haha!

Karl couldn't help laughing out loud. He could almost see the stubbornness and rebelliousness of the reporter through the computer screen:
Since you said that the headline must be given to Master and Commander, fine, they can have that position; but I still decided to steal his limelight with a comprehensive and in-depth report to speak for the Butterfly Effect. Of course, not only the New York Times, but other media also reported on the Butterfly Effect. After all, it was Anson, and no one wanted to miss the news; but because of Master and Commander, the reports were all just enough to avoid stealing the show.

Naturally, the reports were relatively simple—

Despite this, one can still feel the reporters' surprise and surprise between the lines. The premiere of "The Butterfly Effect" took a completely different approach, opened up a new path, and caught the attention.

Now, I can finally see detailed and in-depth coverage in the New York Times.

Amazement and admiration rushed out of my throat uncontrollably and couldn't be stopped.

Carl was both envious and amazed. It was hard to imagine just by using his imagination. How did the "Butterfly Effect" come up with such a premiere?
Interaction. Surroundings. Party. Break boundaries and enjoy the night together.

The whole concept is exciting, and the atmosphere on the scene is vivid on the paper. Just by reading it, Carl can't help but be curious about the surroundings——

Moreover, it was actually drawn and produced by Anson himself.

incredible!

It would be nice if they could also buy merchandise related to the film when it is released in Paris.

"...Multiple endings? They're crazy."

"No, no no no, they don't, he's just Anson."

"But why? With so many endings, how would I know if I like it?"

"That's what Anson is about. He just wants us to think."

"Even for Anson, this is crazy..."

On the side, the whispers of discussion caught Carl's ears.

This is a coffee shop, not one of those large chain coffee shops, but a coffee shop in a residential area. However, all the residents of the nearby blocks gather here, of all ages, even on weekdays.

Turning around, Carl saw two girls who were just about to sit down next to him, and were discussing excitedly. Their cheerful expressions revealed their mood at the moment.

Without hesitation, Carl stepped forward.

"I'm sorry, please forgive my rashness, but I just overheard your conversation, Anson?"

"So, are you guys talking about the 'Butterfly Effect'? What's up with the multiple endings?"

Carl seemed a little anxious and quickly turned the computer screen to the two girls next to him to prove his innocence.

They came closer to take a look, suddenly realized what was going on, exchanged glances in tacit understanding, and both laughed.

After the two people explained, Carl realized that the forum had become lively and it was quite different from what was reported in the media.

According to rumors from last night's Los Angeles premiere, the theatrical version of "The Butterfly Effect" will have multiple endings; the key point is that these endings are not shown in the form of Easter eggs after the movie ends, but are randomly released, with different endings played in different theaters.

When the news came out, it caused a huge uproar and instantly sparked countless discussions.

Obviously, the voices of protest and opposition have spread across the board first.

In the form of attack and ridicule.

Imagine a movie with five endings, so should the audience watch the movie five times?
Moreover, the ending of the movie is random, which means that unless you are extremely lucky, you will definitely not be able to see all versions of the ending five times.

So, what is this, a blatant money grab?
Although everyone knows that movie studios want to make money, this is the first time that they have reached into the audience's pockets in such a blatant way.

The food looks too ugly.

Criticize, curse, ridicule, mock, and abuse.

It instantly exploded with astonishing energy, becoming the hot topic in major forums in a short period of time, and the speed of its spread exceeded expectations.
