The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 207 Secret Garden
Chaos, haste, tension, urgency, embarrassment.

Brad Renfro's expression looked complicated. The alcohol he had just poured into his stomach stained his cheeks with a little blood, and his pale face looked slightly normal.

Anson was still not in a hurry. He just used his right hand as a respirator to move up and down, and used body language to let Brad regain his rhythm. Then he slowly calmed down and regained his composure.

"I drank a little too much, so I sat on the sofa and closed my eyes to relax. I just need a little while to close my eyes and recover."

"I thought tonight was just the beginning, haha."

As he spoke, he went off track, and Anson had to remind him, "Relax on the sofa, what next?"

Brad was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little confused, and it took him a moment to react, "Ah, the sofa."

"Then someone sat down next to me. I opened my eyes and looked over, and found that he was also an alcoholic. His eyes were blurry than mine. It looked like he had drank a lot, haha."

"Then, as if we had been forgotten, we chatted endlessly. Somewhat unexpectedly, he was a producer."

"No, it's not a surprise. Considering where we are now, it shouldn't be a surprise to the director, producer, and actors."

"While we were talking, he told me that he was currently preparing a project and conceiving a role. He had some hesitations in positioning the role. We discussed the role and I gave him some opinions. He liked it very much and the more we talked about it, The happier you are.”

"He thought maybe I could give the character a new life, and then he started talking about me, asking about my work and my previous acting experience."

"but."

"But! Before we could go deeper, another person came over and said that there was an actor named Ryan Gosling who needed to be introduced to the director, and then he pulled the director and left in a hurry."

"I, uh, what should I do now?"

The sentences were slightly messy, and Brad's eyes were filled with uncertainty. His face, which had just become slightly rosy, turned pale again. His swaying pupils were filled with anxiety and tension, and he could see that he was worried about gains and losses.

But Anson still connected the whole incident together, which was not complicated, even though some key information was missing——

For example, what is the scale of this project? How much to invest? Who are the co-stars? Is the character a protagonist or a supporting actor? What makes the project worthy of attention?
And so on and so forth.

However, Anson was able to understand Brad's mood and once again ignited the actor's hope. After winning the performance opportunity for a long time, it was inevitable that he would be prone to mood swings.

Just when Anson was about to speak, Brad hurriedly added, "By the way, the producer said that the heroine of the project is currently in in-depth discussions with Sandra Bullock."

"Sandra..." Brad swallowed to relieve the dryness of his throat, "She's very interested."

His gaze rested on Anson, full of expectations. He would forget to breathe if he continued nervously, "What should I do?"

Anson raised his eyebrows slightly, he could understand Brad's excitement and expectation——

Sandra Bullock, an actress who relied on the image of a silly big sister to appear on the big screen, unexpectedly became the darling of romantic comedies.

"Speed" in 1994 was Sandra's first work to win box office favors. Subsequent works such as "Love at Second Sight", "A Time to Kill", "Love and War", etc. all performed well, but for Sandra Said that her career has reached a bottleneck:
What should we do next?
For six years, all the roles Sandra received were in the role of a silly eldest sister. But she could not continue like this, otherwise she would become the female version of Adam Sandler. She had to think about her own transformation. , make different attempts and open up the situation.

According to the historical trajectory of previous lives, the first real peak of Sandra’s career occurred in 2000, which is the Christmas period later this year——

"Agent Beauty".

This film cleverly takes advantage of the agent/spy trend sweeping Hollywood, but it is tailor-made for Sandra, developing a comedy feel similar to Mr. Bean. It is three years earlier than "Spy", and it exploded at the box office. The success brought Sandra to the front line, with the appeal to challenge the box office.

However, precisely because of the success of "Beautiful Agent", Sandra had to press the pause button on her attempts to transform, and continued to follow the style of the silly older sister. It was not until "Weakness" in 2009 that she completed her transformation and success. transformation.

Despite this, in the past few years since the turn of the millennium, she has still played some roles that are different from the silly older sister——

This should be the case in front of you. This is why Brad is so excited and excited. After many years, he has once again entered a mid-level production with a first-line actor and cast, giving himself a chance to return to the mainstream attention of Hollywood.

but……

Anson was much calmer.

First, Sandra was "very interested" but not confirmed to star.

Secondly, even if Sandra was cast, it was not clear what project it would be.

Third...what if it's a liar?
Don’t think that there are no liars at Jeff Robinov’s party. In fact, in such an occasion, there are no longer a few liars who brag when they open their mouths. A movie project without even a hint of a character may be packaged as Leonardo DiCaprio. -The project where DiCaprio and Johnny Depp competed for the title.

Anyway, Hollywood depends on who is better at deceiving and bragging.

Therefore, the greater the opportunity, the more calm we need.

Anson looked at Brad, "What's the name of that producer?"

Brad: ..."Uh."

Completely stunned.

After searching carefully, Brad blinked, "Richard, yes, Richard."

Anson, "Richard what?"

Brad paused and said, "Crystal, Billy-Crystal..."

Anson was surprised, "Billy Crystal?"

That Billy Crystal who hosted the Oscars eight times? That Billy Crystal, the legendary comedian who starred in such classics as "When Harry Met Sally," "Step Back" and more?

Brad waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, no, Richard-Crystal."

Richard Christo? do not know.

Although they have the same last name, they are not related in any way.

Wait, Richard...Christo...Anson reminds me of someone——

There is such a niche comedian who has also worked as a guest screenwriter, producer, etc. Although he is not as outstanding as Billy Crystal, he still has his own name in Hollywood. Even if he is not under the spotlight, he has continued to work. Active for more than twenty years.

And Anson knew this Richard Christo because of a work:
"Murder by Numbers."

This work has a medium investment, mediocre box office, and average reputation. Logically speaking, it is not remarkable at all among countless film works. However, many senior movie fans have heard of this work. The fundamental reason is that it makes movie fans I got to know several important actors:
Sandra Bullock, indeed, did not perform well in "Murder by Numbers", but it won her valuable space for transformation, and then paved the way for her to star in the Oscar-winning film "Crash".

Ryan Gosling, this new-generation Canadian actor who started in independent films and later became the favorite of countless movie fans, gave an outstanding performance in this movie.

Michael Pitt may have never become a big star in mainstream movies, but "Paris" won him the support of literary and artistic film lovers.

Judging from the box office and reputation, "Murder by Numbers" failed, but looking back at the end of time, this work has achieved a turning point in the careers of the three actors.
