The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 559 Hot
"Captain, are you okay? You look like you just took a pirate ship."

Standing in the yard, the late summer sun is no longer so scorching, falling gently on the surface of the skin, slowly relaxing the tight muscles.

Edgar took a breath, but his burning stomach still didn't fully recover for a while, so he couldn't help but take two deep breaths.

Slowly, he finally came back to his senses, and then Edgar saw the slight upward smile at the corner of Anson's mouth, with a bit of mischievous joy and teasing.

Edgar shook his head slightly and laughed at himself, "God, I thought I had seen the world."

Anson burst into laughter, "They should be very happy to hear that."

Involuntarily, Edgar's eyes lingered on Anson for a moment longer, "The atmosphere in your family is so good. Now I know where your confidence comes from."

The answer, not quite right.

Anson's confidence actually comes from this extra stolen life.

But Anson was not prepared to poke holes in Edgar's imagination.

Edgar paused and said, "It's not like me..."

Between the eyebrows, there was a hint of sadness, bitter and gloomy, with a hint of loss and loneliness.

This was the first time Anson had seen Edgar like this.

It's right to think about it, they are working partners, and they rarely interfere with each other's personal affairs. Anson's understanding of Edgar is close to zero.

But before he was an agent, Edgar was himself first, and he had his own story and his own experiences that led him to become who he is now.

Just like when they met for the first time, even though he was just a junior agent, he was neither humble nor arrogant, advancing and retreating appropriately, showing a calmness and sophistication that belied his age and qualifications.

Anson understands that kind of temperament.

It's not self-confidence, but the precocity of being forced to grow up quickly and take charge of one's own business after going through storms early.

It seems that Edgar is also a man with a story.

However, Anson was not prepared to pry.

Anson didn't speak, didn't say "I understand", or said anything about chicken soup for the soul, because he knew that any words he said at this moment would be redundant.

He just smiled, looked at Edgar sincerely, and stayed by his side.

Edgar did not let his memories drag him down into the abyss. He took a deep breath, even after controlling himself, to resume his usual professional image.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

"Are you sure it's okay for us to discuss work here? Your family is coming to Los Angeles, and you should enjoy a vacation without work interruptions. I can come back another day."

Anson smiled and waved his hand.

"Their work is busier than mine, and I am the most leisurely one in the family."

"Maybe in the middle of our conversation, their cell phone rings."

"So, why did you come to the door today?"

After a short adjustment, Edgar has recovered. Since Anson said this, he has no more mother-in-law.

"It's about the next work. There happened to be a script that came into my vision. I think it's just right, so I'm going to talk to you."

"We discussed future planning during the last 'Elephant'. Obviously, this decision caused a lot of discussion in Hollywood; but I don't think you need to care too much. Anyway, no matter what action you make now, they will Be able to criticize and come up with tricks.”

If Anson takes advantage of his victory to take on a commercial film, the media will say whether Anson should consider his pursuit as an actor.

If Anson continues to make the same type of action movies, the media will say that Anson is trying to become a representative of the new generation of action actors. Everything has two sides. If the media wants to pursue Anson, all decisions can be correct; on the contrary, if the media wants to question Anson, all decisions can be wrong.

In Edgar’s view, neither the media nor Hollywood were prepared—

How could "Spider-Man" be so explosive?

Without warning, the second North American 600 million film after "Titanic" appeared, so can Anson become the second Leonardo DiCaprio?
You can understand it if you look at the huge media pressure Leonardo endured after he became famous. Now the media is facing the chaos of Anson's strong rise.

Clearly, Hollywood was not ready for a second Leonardo-level star.

These are all temporary, and they are also inevitable situations that one must face when becoming famous overnight.

Edgar wasn't worried.

However, these bustling sounds gave Edgar an idea.

"We just have to focus on ourselves."

"In fact, you are now the number one candidate for Hollywood's new generation of actors. For roles between the ages of 18 and 25, you are the priority."

"You are the first choice for several important projects that are being discussed now."

"Can you believe it? Universal Pictures was preparing to shoot 'The Incredible Hulk,' and they actually asked me if you had a schedule."

"Oh, God."

The 2003 version of "The Incredible Hulk"?
This was supposed to be Ang Lee's first time directing a commercial film. Unfortunately, it failed miserably at the box office. The frustrated Ang Lee even considered taking a break. It was in the dark valley that Ang Lee took over the filming of "Brokeback Mountain", which had hit every wall and no one was interested in it. .

Anson raised his eyebrows slightly, "How did you respond?"

Edgar did not hesitate, "I refused. What, are you interested? If you are interested, I can give them another call. I believe they will be very happy to meet you and sit down and talk in depth."

Anson waved his hand, "No, I'm just curious, the reason for your refusal?"

"Image." Edgar blurted out, "Although Spider-Man and the Hulk are both Marvel characters and there is no conflict of interest, Sony Columbia is planning 'Spider-Man 2' and you appear in the big movie as the Hulk. Screens, I think that’s a terrible idea for marketing.”

"Of course, we can continue to make genre movies, but the image of superheroes still needs to avoid repetition, otherwise this road will only become narrower and narrower."

Anson raised his chin slightly, looking at Edgar with a look in his eyes.

Edgar was not in a hurry, but met Anson's gaze to confirm that the communication between the two parties was going smoothly.

Anson smiled and said, "I agree, please continue."

Edgar also chuckled.

"Not only 'Hulk', but now there is no way they will not consider you for projects that invest more than 100 million US dollars. Even if you are not the first choice, you will definitely be in the top three or five. There are countless projects that come to ask for advice. "

This is also one of the important reasons why Edgar is not worried about media complaints:

The box office figures are there, and each major film company has its own calculations. No one will ignore Anson's current popularity and traffic in North America.

Therefore, what Anson needs to worry about now is not not having the next project, but finding one that suits him from the countless projects.

If Anson is willing, he can appear in the next three, four, and five commercial blockbusters until the audience complains that Anson is the only actor left in Hollywood.

But Edgar is not prepared to do this. This is the wrong approach to catch all the benefits.

His expectations for Anson are definitely not as simple as grabbing a few movies and leaving; this game of chess has only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
