The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 12 Independent Theater
"Roman Holiday", Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck——

Minds think alike.

Scarlett was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her head, her gaze ran into Anson's blue eyes, and a smile quietly crept up the corners of her mouth and brows.

"Oh, that's good. I was promoted from Cinderella to princess in one go. What about you? Does this mean you have to be demoted?"

"Whether it's a prince or a reporter, they are all knights, and they all play supporting roles in these stories." Anson gave an answer that was a little unexpected but natural after careful consideration.

A look was exchanged, and both people laughed.

Then, Anson looked across the street, "I think it's not just me who needs to clear up the misunderstanding..."

Scarlett reacted immediately and laughed heartily, "Don't worry, Adrian can understand... Haha, he can definitely do it."

Anson and Scarlett returned to the other side of the street again, looking at Adrian who was meditating on the spot with a depressed face. Anson took the initiative to extend his right hand to help, but Adrian didn't buy it and glanced at Anson with his peripheral vision. "Are you a reporter?"

Anson: ..."Have you ever seen such a handsome reporter?"

Adrian ignored Anson's right hand and stood up, rolling his eyes, "Gregory Peck is also a reporter."

This joke?

Anson and Scarlett exchanged glances, and both laughed.

Adrian was confused and tried to explain his point, "I'm talking about movies..."

But Scarlett stopped him, "Adrian, let's go back to work now."

Adrien suddenly became wary, thinking that his sister was playing tricks again.

Scarlett didn't explain, "Didn't you say we need to hurry up? I've been delayed for so long just now, and we should get there as soon as possible."

Adrian complained angrily, "You still know?"

At this time, Adrian could not care less about continuing his tit-for-tat confrontation with Anson, and took the initiative to walk towards the parking lot.

But after taking only two steps, I still felt depressed, so I walked back again and again.

Looking at Anson, whose face was calm and upright, the words that were already on his lips could not be spoken. Adrian didn't know what to say; but not saying anything was very cowardly.

After going back and forth, Adrian just said, "It was just an accident. I was not prepared, so I was caught off guard by you."

"Accident!"

After emphasizing again, Adrian turned around and walked faster and faster, as if he was worried about what Anson would say again.

Anson was serious. He felt that he still needed to save a little face.

Therefore, Anson looked innocent and kept his mouth shut obediently.

Scarlett blinked at Anson, mouthed silently, "Thank you," and then quickly caught up with Adrian and trotted over.

After watching the Johnson brothers and sisters' vehicles leave, Anson continued to complete his work and entered the theater with the cart.

The Hayworth Theater is a building sponsored by the legendary Hollywood star Fonda family. The same building also includes an acting academy and a large theater, where performances are staged every day and every week.

Among them, the Hayworth Theater, which can only accommodate 180 people, is slightly more special. It is mainly aimed at young actors, independent plays, experimental plays, etc.

Although the attendance rate is abysmal all year round, the Fonda family has never given up sponsorship. In this way, it encourages more artistic creation and gives more opportunities to unknown creators and artists. The entire theater is a small theater with a low ceiling. The dark red wooden seats are neatly arranged in three areas: left, middle and right, in the style of an old-fashioned cinema.

The stage is only 40 centimeters high and is zero distance from the audience seats. This also means that the actors and the audience are basically on the same level, and the entire performance atmosphere and live environment are particularly intimate.

——The expressions, eyes, and movements of the audience are all clear.

For actors, feedback is direct, vivid, and brutal.

Opening the door, Anson could see at a glance the actors who were confirming the stage settings and detailed moves. James and Seth both had focused faces, gesticulating and scolding Fang Qiu, as if they were preparing for a Broadway show.

When they met, Chris walked over and stuffed his phone into his pocket, "Why did it take so long? I thought you were lost."

Anson made a half-serious joke, "I met Princess Anne by chance."

Chris didn't react, "Shouldn't it be Prince William?"

Smoothly, Chris took the mineral water from Anson's hand and said, "The show is about to start, but the audience hasn't shown up yet. Are you sure?"

"Patience, Chris, even if you don't have confidence in James and Seth, you should have confidence in their agents." Anson reassured.

Chris twitched his lips, "On the contrary, I have confidence in James and the others, but not in the agent. One agent has seventy or eighty clients. I'm afraid they can't take care of James, and maybe they don't remember at all." The show here.”

This is not to be negative, but to be objective.

The first lesson in Hollywood is to never have too high expectations. No one is indispensable.

however--

Anson is right.

Although "Freaks and Geeks" was cut in half due to poor ratings, this series was the starting point for the second generation of bad guys and created an era in Hollywood.

What is the Bad Boy Gang?
To put it simply, in order to fight against the dominance of the superstar Jim Carrey on the comedy film market in the 1990s, a group of actors headed by Ben Stiller came together to form a loose group. Comedy organization.

They used high-quality and low-priced crowd tactics to attack each other, supporting each other, making guest appearances, and teaming up together. Although they were never able to shake Jim Carrey's status in the world, they also launched a series of popular comedy movies and became a school of their own.

Ben Stiller is the leader of the first-generation bad boy gang, while the second-generation bad boy gang began in 2005 with "The -Year-Old Virgin" directed and starred by Judd-Apatow, and It got out of hand and became an indispensable part of the North American comedy market in the first two decades of the th century.

"Freaks and Nerds" is where the second generation of Bad Boys began. Judd Apatow served as the director, and the main actors such as James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Jason Segel later Then they all become core members of the Bad Boy Gang.

The biggest feature of the Bad Boys Gang is that they stick together and help each other.

There was no reason for the second-generation bad guys to be absent from James and Seth's drama. Judd was the first to take the lead and come to support them, followed closely by the cast and crew of "Freaks and Nerds".

Then, the agent's network also showed its power, and newspaper reporters, producers, casting directors, screenwriters, etc., appeared one after another.

Ten minutes before the performance officially starts, the attendance rate of the Hayworth Theater has easily exceeded 60%, which is rare for such an independent play.

Chris, who was responsible for distributing souvenir peripherals to the audience this afternoon, was so busy that he couldn't stop. He couldn't help but marveled, and looked at Anson with surprise on his face:
Is this serious?

The only problem is-

How many ordinary audiences are here who actually come to enjoy the drama? How many ordinary spectators paid their own money to enter the venue out of curiosity and concern?

One person? Or two?
