The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 471 Uneasy and anxious
"I wasn't peeping, really."

There was nothing wrong, but he was caught at a strange time. He felt guilty for no reason, and Ryan was dumbfounded.

It was a conditioned reflex excuse, but why did it feel weird after I said it?

Ryan couldn't help but scratch his head.

Compared with Ryan's accident, Anson seemed much calmer, with a calm face, "Peeping is okay, I'm used to it anyway."

Just, that’s it?

Ryan:…

Ryan immediately realized what he was making a fuss about, showing a helpless but dumbfounded expression. He shook his head slightly and patted the steering wheel, "Damn it, you actually tricked me. To be honest, this isn't the first time, is it?"

Anson's face was calm——

Silence is better than sound here.

A smile overflowed between Ryan's brows, "Since you still have the energy to joke, it seems that my worries just now are completely unnecessary."

"Yes, you are already the leading star in a commercial blockbuster, and I am still a supporting actor in an independent film. Who is worried about whom, right?"

Anson glanced at Ryan, "Is this an attack?"

Ryan felt guilty for a while, and the muscles around his neck were obviously stiff, "Too weak?"

Anson shook his hand and made a splashing motion, "I don't feel it at all."

Ryan showed a pinched expression, "It seems we still need to keep working hard." He even clenched his fists to cheer himself secretly, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.

Anson chuckled and thought for a moment——

In fact, there is no burden to talk to a stranger about some things, because the other person is not in your life and will not have any entanglement with you. There is no shame or worry, and things become much simpler.

On the contrary, it is difficult to talk about those concerns and burdens with family and friends, and you don’t even know how to speak. As time goes by, it becomes nothing. It’s not that you don’t talk, but that you don’t know how to talk.

In fact, Anson was worried.

Of course, as a time traveler, Anson knows the box office success of "Spider-Man", but the problem is that his little butterfly is changing the course of history.

The previous version of "Spider-Man" by Tobey Maguire and the current version by Anson are completely different. Not only the actor's interpretation of the character, but also the temperament of the entire movie has changed. In addition, the environmental changes before and after the movie was released, Anson's own vase controversy, etc., every subtle change is changing the trajectory of history.

Therefore, no one can guarantee that a movie that was successful in the previous life will still be successful this time, because this is a different work and a different time and space.

To be precise, it is not worry, but a kind of uneasiness mixed with different emotions such as expectations, tension and fatigue. It is not calm because of the success of the previous work, but it is precisely because of this that it makes me more uneasy——

Moreover, this is the first time that Anson has appeared on the big screen as a leading actor. Without the cover and help of other actors, he stands under the spotlight, and his every move is put under the microscope to be scrutinized by the audience.

As an actor, he really stands in the center of the spotlight and accepts critical scrutiny, and the entire summer box office responsibility falls on his shoulders. Expert reporters are already gearing up to dismantle him.

With various factors colliding together, the pressure focused on the "Spider-Man" work has reached a new level, and it seems that the entire future of Hollywood depends on it.

Even if you know that this is an illusion and that Hollywood will not be ruined by the success or failure of a movie, it is still inevitable to be involved in the whirlpool.

Looking forward to it, really looking forward to it.

Nervous, really nervous.

It was only then that Anson realized that he was not as cool as he thought. After all, he still didn't fully see through it. Some things, even if you live two lives, you still need to learn slowly. No wonder people always say:

Live and learn. Not only knowledge, but also the wisdom of life.

This realization made the corners of Anson's mouth slightly raise, revealing a self-deprecating smile. Now he felt a little more relaxed.

"I'm worried about feedback."

The words came out so easily, simpler than imagined.

Ryan was stunned, and quickly turned his head to glance at Anson. He thought Anson didn't want to talk more, and then subconsciously said, "It's normal to worry, right? It would be weird not to worry, right?"

So natural.

Ryan quickly explained, "I mean, before every work comes out, we are worried, because we care and love it. We can't predict the reaction of the critics, nor the reaction of the audience."

"After a movie is released, people always like to blame the actors for the quality of the movie."

"Of course, we need to take responsibility, and we cannot deny that sometimes the success or failure of a film does depend on the actors."

"But to be honest, actors' responsibilities are limited. Once the movie is completed, we lose control. We are as ignorant as the audience. We only know what we have made after the movie is released."

This word——

Anson was like, "Hahaha."

Ryan shrugged slightly, "So, like the audience, we entered the cinema unprepared and then watched ourselves embarrass ourselves on the big screen."

"I have to say, it's almost impossible not to worry about audience comments."

Anson understands the truth.

But life is like this, the authorities are obsessed with it, and no matter how simple and obvious the principles are, they can still easily trap themselves when things happen.

At this time, family, friends, and loved ones will play the role of bystanders.

The smile on Anson's lips fell into his eyes, "It will be the same even if it happens many times."

Ryan nodded repeatedly, "God, you don't know how worried I was today, worried that reporters would catch me and ask questions, only to find out that no one cared at all. After all, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were on the same stage, wow, Who cares about paying attention to other people?"

Today, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt unexpectedly appeared on the same occasion, but the gossip eyes were destined to be disappointed, because nothing happened. Obviously, they also knew that their every move was attracting attention, so they were extra special cautious.

There was no deliberate avoidance, but there was no direct conversation either——

The rest is up to the reporter to make up.

Anson didn't care about Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and they didn't need to worry. Instead, he turned to look at Ryan, "Are you still worried now? Brad, too, has been particularly anxious lately."

What we’re talking about here is “Murder by Numbers.”

This movie is not a blockbuster but it is also a focus of medium-sized films. The production company Warner Bros. even held a wide release in 2,800 theaters, which shows their expectations.

However, Sandra Bullock's attempt to broaden her acting career was met with negative reviews. It was not terrible but definitely not optimistic. The overall media review was only 50 points, and finally settled in the medium-to-good range.

After two weeks of release, this film with an investment of 50 million US dollars has only accumulated a box office of 18 million US dollars. It was doomed to lose money early on.

Obviously, for Sandra, this result was far below expectations.

Now it seems that Ryan and Brad Renfro are also under tremendous pressure as supporting actors.
