The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 529 Idol Halo
"Anson."

Gus looked at Anson with clear eyes, showing a hint of encouragement.

"I want you to know that you can be yourself."

“No pretense, no showmanship, just reveal your truest self and find your own voice, and that’s okay.”

One sentence, light and without any power, calmed down Anson's irritable and anxious mind.

Looking at Gus, Anson showed a helpless smile, "Director, where did you hear this chicken soup for the soul? Oprah talk show?"

Gus thought about it seriously, "That might be true."

puff.

There was a burst of uncontrollable smiles all around.

Gus was not distracted, still looking at Anson. "Listen, I know it's scary. Exposing yourself on a movie screen, in front of thousands of faces. God, that's why I wouldn't be an actor. .”

The corners of Anson's mouth raised, "Director, are you sure this is the real reason?"

Gus spread his hands, "Let's just pretend this is it."

then.

Gus continued, "But at the same time, this is also an opportunity for us to face ourselves. You know, we always live in one cocoon after another, sealing ourselves off tightly, lest we expose our fragility and softness. , and then become the target of other predators."

"Maybe the damage will come, maybe not, we don't know."

"But what is certain is that we are already hurting ourselves."

"Be brave enough to face yourself, know yourself bravely, embrace yourself bravely, and learn to reconcile with yourself. This is more important than anything else."

Anson was shocked——

Did Gus see through him? Could it be that the fact that there is a vicissitudes of life hidden under this skin has been revealed?

But after taking a closer look at Gus, Anson realized that he was overthinking it and Gus had just said this inadvertently.

Gus's words continued.

"Anson, your performance, your understanding, and your analysis are all correct, but they just lack a little bit of reality."

"I don't know what it is, but I'm sure you can find the answer because you're a good actor."

After the words were spoken, there was a pause. After Gus noticed Anson's surprise, he realized what he had just said.

From doubt and dissatisfaction to unreserved recognition, it was a change in just a few days. Those affirmations, praises and trusts were all real and not polite. Compared to Anson, Gus himself was more surprised.

However, after thinking about it seriously, Gus nodded slightly again.

"I believe you."

This time, there was still no hesitation.

then.

Gus saw a slight smile rising from the corner of Anson's mouth. It was not brilliant or bright, light and shy, but it seemed to be able to light up the whole world.

With a smile, Anson just paused and continued, "Director, I may need a little time to collect my thoughts."

Gus nodded slightly and said crisply, "No problem."

Anson turned around and walked toward the other end of the corridor, completely unaware of the stunned looks around him with their dislocated jaws, and just walked away.

Alex: Stay.

Can anyone explain what they just saw?
Not long ago, the rustling exchange of glances could not hide the disappointment. After the mystery of the movie was unveiled, the filming process that unfolded before our eyes completely lost its halo:

Primitive, rough and crude.

Not to mention magical, it even makes people want to laugh.

No wonder people always say that distance creates beauty, especially in Hollywood. Don't get too close, otherwise you may be disillusioned and everything will be subverted.

After taking off the Spider-Man mask, Anson looks like an ordinary handsome guy. Apart from the skin, there is nothing special about him. It is inevitable to feel a little sad.

An idol has just risen, and before he becomes a god, his halo has already been dissipated.

But now?
But they witnessed the birth of an actor on the set!

Frankly admit your shortcomings and fears, face your own shortcomings and mediocrity, break the fourth wall from character analysis to yourself, walk between performance and reality, and carefully reveal the softest and most vulnerable part of your heart. , and finally become the material that shapes the flesh and blood of the character.

What the audience sees is just an image projected on the big screen; but what is hidden behind the screen is the actors and director's thinking about life.

A movie can be just a movie and a bucket of popcorn.

But movies, at the same time, can be more than just movies. They can become an expression, a deduction, and an interpretation, opening the door to another world for the audience.

Of course, I just saw a scene now, and no one can know the result——

Maybe Anson was able to amaze the audience after thinking about it; maybe he spent a lot of time and still ended up being surprisingly bad; maybe the scene before him just now was completely a public relations event, deliberately performed for the students to see.

But no one can deny the impact of this scene.

It was even more shocking than Anson just holding a reflector as a camera assistant.

This proves Anson's professionalism as an actor, especially at the moment when "Spider-Man" is so successful, Anson is still willing to discuss performance down-to-earth, without any pretense, which is indeed admirable——

Even if it's a performance, at least Anson is willing to cooperate in performing this scene for the sake of image, which is better than countless actors.

What's more, Alex doesn't think it's a show.

He has seen it with his own eyes, truly felt it, and he trusts his own judgement.

Anson is real, Gus is real, those frustrations and fears, those conversations and thoughts are all real, and those confusions and confusions are no exception.

It turns out that besides the glamorous Hollywood and the dark and rotten Hollywood, there is another group of people living like unicorns.

Alex turned to look at Eric——

Words are poor.

He couldn't find the words to describe it at all, and he didn't know how to express his feelings.

Instead, Eric became quiet, no longer as excited and excited as before.

Until just now, all Eric saw was Spider-Man Peter Parker; but now he saw Anson Wood.

Eric said, "Don't you think Anson is particularly attractive like this?"

Alex was confused.

Eric, "I mean, focus on one thing and devote yourself wholeheartedly, dare to admit your own failures and dare to face your own vulnerabilities, because you love without reservation. Such a person is particularly handsome."

Alex nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Eric watched Anson's leaving figure and murmured, "I'm really looking forward to his performance."

Alex, "What if it breaks again?"

Eric laughed, "Wouldn't that be more exciting."

Alex made up the picture in his mind, nodded vigorously, and couldn't help laughing.

If after a lot of trouble and effort, it still messed up, the scene would be... very shocking.

That's not what Anson needs to worry about right now, though.

Anson didn't have time to think about it for the time being. He needed some time to quiet down and collect his thoughts.

Whether he is an expressionist or a methodist, it is all a kind of performance in the final analysis; but now, Anson needs to show himself, his true self.

This is the most difficult.
