The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 512 TV Movie
Movie?

Anson was slightly surprised because Darren is mainly active in the television industry. Although he has many friends in the film industry, Darren himself said that film and television are two completely different production systems. Films are much more complicated. For the time being, he I am not going to try it in the film field.

Of course, with Darren's status and connections, if he were to make a movie, he would easily be able to find a large number of people willing to help.

"Uncle Darren, are you going to make a movie? Of course, no problem, tell me the time and place, and I'll let Edgar arrange the schedule."

For others, Anson might have said politely, "Think again" or "Read the script." The fact that he is currently recording an album and has no schedule is only part of the reason. The real reason is Edgar's explanation:
After the great success of "Spider-Man", considering that Anson's "Cat and Mouse Game" with Steven and Tom Hanks is also waiting to be released, this means that Anson has successfully firmly occupied a place in Hollywood.

As you can imagine, projects inviting Anson all popped up overnight——

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Some people just want to gain popularity, some want to use Anson to hype the news, some hope to use Anson's name to attract investment, and some are just joining in the fun and trying out the role regardless of whether it is suitable.

Now, Anson is a sweet man.

But this is only part of the reason. Putting aside the twists and turns and grudges of Vanity Fair, what Edgar really cares about is Anson's career plan.

How should you choose your next film after "Spider-Man" and "Cat and Mouse"?
The point is not the success or failure of the movie - of course, it would be great if the movie is successful, but no one can determine the success or failure of the movie; rather, it lies in the type of movie, the style of the characters and the creation of the image.

Continue to choose handsome and youthful roles to deepen the image of the public's dream lover; or choose some roles that explore acting skills and break through yourself, emphasizing the actor's personal color before the image is finalized?

Continue to cooperate with big directors and big projects, and fully embrace commercial films with open arms; or choose independent films to moderate your image and pave the way for the possibility of opening up the awards season?

Every actor must think carefully. If the actor himself does not have such an idea, then the agent must complete the job on behalf of the actor.

Not to mention, Sandra Bullock's choice to star in "Murder by Numbers" is an example.

Although "Murder by Numbers" was mediocre, at least Sandra showed her own ambitions and ideas, which sent a signal to Hollywood that naturally, when other roles, other genres or other producers were considering it, they would not Simply shut out Sandra.

There are countless overnight successes in Hollywood, but if you want to achieve success, you need to be patient, take it one step at a time, and take a long-term view.

Therefore, Edgar is not in a hurry——

He is currently selecting scripts and projects, and is also contacting directors and producers. He is taking the initiative and slowly selecting roles for Anson.

Anson, on the other hand, can enjoy a short vacation. It just so happens that the past two months have been intensive promotion. The busy schedule of day and night is a severe test on the body and energy. Now he can rest and adjust.

When Anson said he was ready to record an album, Edgar raised his hands and feet in agreement. There was also a reason for this.

The most fortunate thing is that the success of "Spider-Man" far exceeded expectations. Now people's attention index for Anson's next work has skyrocketed; and this so-called "next work" has already been arranged well in advance:
"Cat and mouse game".

An impeccable choice, this can buy more room for Edgar to maneuver and carefully select for Anson's next work.

If it had been anyone else, Anson would have pushed out a set of Tai Chi; but the person on the other end of the phone was Darren, and Anson had no reason to refuse.

Not only did he not do it, but he agreed immediately.

Darren, burst into laughter——

Regardless of the truth, Darren felt relieved when he heard Anson's response and a smile crept onto his lips.

"This is what you said, but I remembered it and will find an opportunity to fulfill it next time." Darren chuckled, "But this time, it's not my project." "But it is true that I need a little help. "

This time, Anson was not in a hurry and listened patiently.

"Anson, now you are standing on the edge of the wind. Every move you make attracts attention. Those who can't wait to pull you down are waiting with eager eyes. Therefore, you need to be cautious. This is correct."

"I need your help, but there is no need for you to agree immediately. Listen to the project carefully and then consider it yourself."

In Darren's view, Anson is a family member, no different from his own child. Compared with the exchange of interests in Vanity Fair, he must put Anson first.

Anson also showed a smile, "Uncle Darren, if that's the case, then tell me first, who is asking you to help? I will think about it based on their weight."

Sure enough, Anson is smart.

There was a smile in Darren's eyes, "HBO."

Anson: ..."It seems that I can't do this without helping."

HBO TV station, "Sex and the City" financier dad, is also Darren's immediate boss.

If HBO invites Darren to help, Anson will naturally have to give face.

Darren laughed heartily again, "You ghost, the matter is not that serious. Don't worry, I still have some say in HBO. Moreover, HBO itself does not attach much importance to this help, but I think, This is an opportunity, and it’s just right for you, so I took the initiative to recommend you to HBO and said you could consider it.”

It turned out to be the case.

Anson sighed deliberately exaggeratedly, "Then I can feel a little more relieved. So, what episode is it?"

During the turn of the millennium, HBO was a classic-making machine, producing countless classics, including "The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under," "Sex and the City," "Band of Brothers," "The Wire," "Prison", "Entourage", etc., etc., have withstood the test of time, making HBO's existence a brand in itself.

Naturally, Anson thought Darren and he were discussing the show.

Unexpectedly, Darren denied it, "No, it's actually a movie."

“It’s either a TV movie or a movie released in theaters.”

Anson raised his eyebrows slightly——

TV movies, simply put, are movies that are exclusively broadcast on TV stations. Because of the small screen of TVs, they cannot present the texture of a large screen in a cinema. Therefore, the photography and graphics of TV movies are not so particular, and they do not pay so much attention to the audio-visual language. Correspondingly It will highlight the drama of the plot and attract the audience's attention.

Although TV movies are relatively niche, TV stations have been insisting on producing them, and the Emmy Awards also have a dedicated department to award them.

In other words, it is very common for TV stations to produce TV movies; but it is very rare for TV stations to produce movies.

Anson really didn't expect that.

Darren knew that Anson was currently on the rise in his career. If it were not for a movie project, he would not ask Anson. After all, it would not be a wise choice for Anson to return to TV series or TV movies.

"Do you know a director named Gus-Van-Sant?"
