The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 424 You come and I go
Jay Leno was slightly stunned. He never expected that the joke at the beginning would go around and now there would be a follow-up response. If it weren't for the fact that he, as the host, was 100% sure that this conversation was not arranged in advance, he would probably suspect that it was the show team. Anson responded after greeting him in advance.

There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and at the same time he began to gear up——

"The Tonight Show" is his territory, but it's not a young guy's turn to take the initiative.

After a pause, Jay Leno immediately launched his attack, "You mean, you haven't thought about promoting the movie on the show?"

Although Jay Leno still maintained a smile and his words sounded like a joke, Anson could still taste the sharpness hidden in the cotton.

Anson looked at Jay Leno and said, "I don't have the final say in this matter, right?"

Jay Leno laughed happily, keenly catching the loopholes in Anson's words, "You mean, you want to publicize it, but you just don't have the initiative, right?"

Anson said calmly, "It would be irresponsible of me to deny it, right? After all, no one wants their work to be sold out. Connor, what do you think?"

Connor:?
Connor couldn't keep up with his reaction. He had no idea how he got involved in the topic. He didn't even have time to ask for help, so he nodded obediently——

This change of topic had an immediate effect. The back-and-forth tension between Anson and Jay Leno was interrupted. Breathing space was finally found in the studio, and the long-suppressed laughter surged in the chest.

however.

Jay Leno would not let Anson off the hook so easily. How could the talk show king not have some trump cards in his pocket?

He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, that's not what you just said. Your refusal of the record company's invitation is different from their situation. So, when you came to participate in the show today, the situation is also different, right?"

So far, but meaningful.

Although Jay Leno didn’t say it clearly, the subtext couldn’t be clearer:

He was hinting that Anson had a choice and an escape route, so he didn't care about the life or death of the band, and at the same time, he used the topic of the band to promote the movie.

This kind of thing happens all the time in Hollywood.

The point is that Jay Leno is vague, without accusations or jokes, which means he has no position and leaves room for imagination to the audience.

Suddenly, Anson was in a dilemma.

So, what should be done?
At this time, Edgar's palms couldn't help but sweat.

The recording of "The Tonight Show" was so important that Edgar had to take care of it personally. He had no reason to miss the recording of the show; but now, their little plan of trying to promote the movie through "The Tonight Show" was challenged by Jay Leno. It was so broken that Edgar's temples were beating wildly.

Of course, if you break something, you will break it. This is not a big deal at all.

What we really need to worry about is not the reaction and mood of the three band members; rather, starting from today, rumors about Anson's scheming will probably spread in Hollywood, which may have a certain impact on Anson's image.

Edgar secretly clenched his fists and regained his composure.

Although he doesn't know what happened to Jay Leno, the matter can still be undone. After the show is recorded, he needs to meet with the producer and Jay Leno, so how should he get involved then?

The brain operates at high speed.

In fact, in the blink of an eye, Edgar had already begun to think about the layout; but on the stage, the collision between Anson and Jay Leno did not stop.

Jay Leno looked at Anson with a hint of provocation and a hint of expectation.

The people in the studio still didn't understand what was going on. Even Connor and the others couldn't detect the abnormality immediately. They just felt that the air was getting tight.

All eyes fell on Anson.

But see.

Anson shrugged slightly, "Okay, you got me."

Connor, "Huh?"

Jay Leno:? ? ?
Wait, what!
Anson didn't give Jay Leno or the audience time to react. He immediately turned to look at the audience and smiled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on May 3rd, 'Spider-Man' will be released in major theaters. Welcome to the theaters to watch the story of how a teenager's life is turned upside down."

"God, you're going to love this movie because Peter Parker and I are 100 percent different, and you're going to be shocked at how kind and naive Peter Parker is."

The corners of the mouth are raised.

One second pause——

Applause, cheers, whistles, screams. It was like a storm that swept through the entire scene. At this moment, the entire studio finally reached its peak and was swept into the madness of a tropical storm.

Jay Leno:…

He had to admit, he hadn't expected it.

"Scheming" is a negative word.

Although everyone knows that in the palm-sized Vanity Fair of Hollywood, everyone is scheming and scheming, and those naive and honest people have long since become debris; but no one is still willing to admit that they are good at calculating.

Even top names like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and Brad Pitt are no exception.

Just look at the reaction of Brad and Jennifer Aniston after the crew of "Friends" broke the news that Brad asked Anson to be kicked off the crew. They didn't dare to take risks, and they didn't dare to take the risk that their image might be tarnished. , in the end he could only make friends with Anson to repair the cracks.

It is conceivable that a newcomer like Anson would not want to bear such a label.

This is exactly Jay Leno’s trap——

He didn't specify it, just hinted at it.

Therefore, if Anson explains, it will be equivalent to admitting; if he does not explain, he may fall into a public opinion storm.

Jay Leno was curious about Anson's reaction.

Although "The Tonight Show" is not usually a "Hello, I'm hello, everyone" style, Jay Leno rarely attacks the guests. Everyone is wallowing in Hollywood, looking up but not looking down, so there is no need to tit for tat.

Today, Jay Leno became interested because of Anson's performance. He did not stop the car for a moment and inadvertently showed his edge.

However! but! Actually!
Anson broke through like this.

Not only did he criticize it, but he also took advantage of the situation to promote the movie in a graceful way.

This time, it was Jay Leno who was embarrassed.

If Jay Leno doesn't redeem himself, I'm afraid he will be the target of "scheming attacks on interview guests". With the summer season opening soon, "The Tonight Show" cannot be involved in such a controversy.

More importantly, Jay Leno appreciated Anson's decisive response.

Don’t retreat but advance.

The upright and generous attitude brought the conspiracy to the stage and turned it into a conspiracy. Instead, it appeared to be aboveboard, and the image was reversed in an instant.

Just look at the first reaction of the audience in the studio in front of you and you will know the result——

After all, let’s be honest, isn’t every guest who comes to “The Tonight Show” here just for publicity?
So what’s the difference between promoting a band or a movie?

Admirable, really admirable.

During Jay Leno's brief moment of astonishment, thoughts were surging in his mind. Then, a smile crept up to the corner of his mouth, and a smile from the heart began to surge.

Finally, laugh out loud.

"what."

Jay Leno shook his head slightly, and after finally waiting for the frenzy in the studio to calm down a bit, he spread his hands.

"Anson, you took my job."

This is tantamount to tacit permission for Anson to promote the movie.

Behind the auditorium, Edgar was stunned, the crisis was actually resolved like this.

It was indeed Anson.

As expected of Anson.

However, Edgar thought about it, maybe this was an opportunity, an opportunity for Anson to become friends with Jay Leno, an opportunity for Anson to open up in the field of talk shows.

The movements that had stopped were resumed.
