The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1265 Immersive
Everything happened so fast, all packed into a few hours, which in 2003 was almost like moving at ten times the speed.

Just a few hours ago, Anson suggested that the band need to enter the recording studio on August 31 to complete the recording of a song before officially joining the crew. The fastest time would be one afternoon and the slowest would be three days. By the way, Reese could enter the recording studio to feel the atmosphere of the band's recording and the feeling of music creation.

On the surface, Reese readily agreed and gave Anson 100% support.

Of course, she did have some expectations.

But in fact, Reese thought that this was just an excuse Anson was looking for for the band's recording work. In the final analysis, Anson still put the interests of the band before the crew.

Anson only informed the crew a few hours in advance. This was not a discussion, but a notification. He had no intention of seeking the opinions of Mangold and Reese. He just informed the crew:

The matter was settled in this way; otherwise, with only a few hours left, there would be no time for the crew to make other choices or refute.

However, considering Anson's reputation and his status as a producer, Reese did not expose the trick and just went along with the performance.

After all, that's how social situations work. You give in, I give in, and in the end everyone is happy.

But now, Reese's thoughts have quietly changed, she can't help but think:
Was it really just the band’s selfish desire for Anson to come to Memphis to record?

Looking at Anson again, Reese gave a bitter smile, "I'm trying."

Anson smiled back, "I'm working on it too, so maybe we can help each other. I think watching the studio work should help, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance. Otherwise you could come and watch the live performance in the bar, and you should be able to gain something."

"Oh, by the way, I met Ryan last time when I was performing in a bar."

Ruixi was stunned. "When did it happen?"

Anson, "At the end of last year, I was trying to recreate the life of Johnny Cash, so I performed in a bar for a while under an assumed name. Ryan and a group of young people had just finished auditioning for a movie and came to the bar..."

As he spoke, Anson realized that Reese's expression was one of complete ignorance.

"Ah, wait, did I say something wrong?" Anson couldn't help but grin.

Reese laughed at Anson's embarrassment, "Haha, you also have moments like this?"

"Are you talking about the movie with Ang Lee? I knew he was auditioning in New York, but I didn't know he met you. He didn't mention it to me." Reese was very frank. She didn't hide anything and had an upright attitude.

Anson raised his eyebrows slightly: Is it Ang Lee's work?

This was the period when "The Hulk" suffered a disastrous box office and word of mouth. The praises won by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were completely rejected. Ang Lee fell into a low point of disheartened confidence, so the works prepared during this period...

Almost stood out.

Anson was a little surprised, he didn't know Ryan Phillippe had been an understudy.

But Anson did not ask further, "It seems that Ryan deliberately did not mention it. It should not be because I offended him, right?"

Reese waved her hands, her face calm, "No, he's just jealous."

"You know, there are not many people in Hollywood who are more handsome than him. And unfortunately, those people are beyond my level and there is no chance for cooperation for the time being."

“Now, I finally met one.”

"Haha." Anson burst into laughter, looking at Reese's helpless expression, "So, this should be my honor?"

Reese was noncommittal.

Anson was curious, "What if Ryan was filming with an actress? Would you care?" Reese shook her head as a matter of course, "No, of course not. We are actors, this is our job, right? If we can't separate work from life, then in the end it will only make ourselves hard. I mean, this is Hollywood, we should all know what we are doing."

Anson's eyes revealed a smile, "Dear Reese, this is an ideal state, but the cruel part of reality is that although we all know it, we often don't know it when it happens. Only when we really face our own experience can we know whether we can recognize the reality of the world of fame and fortune."

The words are a bit confusing and seem meaningful.

Reese was slightly stunned, and stared at Anson blankly, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes.

Anson blinked and interrupted Reese's thoughts. "Hey, sorry, I didn't mean to stir up trouble. I just said..."

Reese smiled back, "I know, don't worry, I didn't misunderstand, I just..."

After a long breath, Reese said, "I was just thinking about myself. When you said the band needed to go to the studio to work, although I didn't say much, I was complaining in my heart. I thought you put the interests of the band before the crew. I guess I'm not as open-minded as I thought."

"I'm sorry." Reese looked at Anson with a sincere face.

Anson didn't mind at all, "Reese, thank you for telling me the truth."

"But, I don't mind. I mean it."

"Honestly, I can guess what you're thinking. Not only you, but the director and producer James should also be drawing circles and cursing me behind my back."

Reese burst out laughing.

Anson shrugged lightly. "I won't quibble. The facts are the facts. We recorded first, and the crew's start time had to be adjusted. I did put the interests of the band before the crew."

"But to make up for my selfishness, I am making an effort. Even though I can't please everyone, at least we try to do the job perfectly. How about that?"

Frank, straightforward and sincere.

Reese had not expected to speak her mind and say what she really thought, nor had she expected Anson to respond with such openness and sincerity.

Indeed, as Anson said, the problem is still there, and it is also true that the crew has to postpone filming; but at least, after they talked it out and worked towards the same direction, the whole feeling became different.

In a way, Reese herself did not expect it, and began to look forward to it.

Is Anson hiding any secrets in the studio?

"Wait, shouldn't the point just now be that you performed incognito in a New York bar? I can't believe you didn't invite me to join you. So, what did you get?"

“It does feel different playing live, but I try to feel more like Johnny making a living from his music than the show itself.”

The conversation started again. Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, the two actors didn't feel unfamiliar at all. The conversation went on and on, and they couldn't stop at all. The laughter in the car echoed continuously.

The car stopped at the recording studio first, and then Noah was responsible for taking Anson's luggage back to the hotel, while Anson and Reese went directly into the recording studio.

They need to race against time.

Reese was full of curiosity and anticipation. If she wanted, she could of course go into the recording studio to experience it at any time; but the point was that during her preparation for the role of June Carter, she did not realize the necessity of this, so she never went to the recording studio to experience it.

Now, Reese was secretly looking forward to seeing what Anson was up to.
