The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 60 The storm is rising
A revelation, a shock, and the spirit of entertaining oneself to death was brought into full play, and all the parties involved were involved in a storm.

Immediately, Brad clarified the rumors in front of reporters:
There is nothing.

Brad emphasized that he did not make any requests to cut off other people's job opportunities, nor did he use his connections to try to suppress other actors behind their backs.

He believed that someone was slandering him, saying, "I'm fine, Jennifer is fine, we're all fine, everything is fine."

Objectively speaking, everyone knows the hidden rules of Hollywood. There are many cases where the crew accommodates big-name actors and dismisses supporting actors.

But the reason why invisible rules are "invisible" is because it is disgraceful. Using one's power and status to harm the weak is bad for reputation and image.

Obviously, Brad doesn't want to be involved in such negative rumors.

At the same time, Jennifer also denounced the absurdity of the rumors in a phone interview:

It's pure rumour.

Jennifer said that she had never known Anson before. She, like everyone else, met the young actor for the first time during the filming two weeks ago.

Moreover, she and Anson were just ordinary colleagues, "I don't even have his contact information."

Facing the menacing scandal, Jennifer was full of questions, but more of a sense of absurdity than anger, and she couldn't understand what was going on.

however.

Is things really that simple?

These clarifications and explanations did not put the rumors to rest, because this is Hollywood and people firmly believe that there is a reason for everything and it cannot be groundless.

Maybe the scandal is fake and the hype is real, but it makes no difference to the media. What they care about is not the truth, but the highlights and gimmicks. If it is hype, then who is hyping it? Who are the vested interests? Who is adding fuel to the fire? These keys are equally noteworthy.

From Saturday to Sunday to the early morning of Monday, media reporters penetrated into the "Friends" crew to conduct interviews, digging like blood leeches——

Questions about the spark that sparked between Jennifer and Anson during filming, about Anson's audition to win the role, about Brad's planned visit only to cancel at the last minute.

And so on and so forth.

There are various rumors, but there is no unified statement, but in the interweaving of different versions, through the details, we try to piece together the truth of the matter.

A key attitude came from David Klein.

In an interview, David Klein did not respond directly to the rumors, but kept emphasizing that Anson's performance was definitely an unexpected surprise. This also prompted them to develop more stories around Anson and continue to explore the charm of Paul's character and create Inspiration keeps coming.

"Of course, we encountered some difficulties, everything was unexpected and sudden."

"But we still believe this is the right choice, we are moving in the right direction, and we will support each other to continue moving forward and cross the finish line."

From beginning to end, David Klein refused to make one statement:
Did Brad Pitt ask the crew to stop Anson's guest appearances?
No yes, but no no either.

This kind of attitude is actually self-evident. Some things don't need to be said so clearly.

At the same time, David Klein’s words also leave room for different interpretations.

To put it simply, it can be interpreted that the crew is worried about the upcoming end of Season 6. They are indeed facing a lot of pressure and need to unite as one.

A little more complicated, it can be interpreted as Bradley using his connections to exert pressure, and even David Klein has his hands tied and cannot speak freely.

So, how to interpret it?

Everyone responded, but like "Rashomon", the truth did not reveal its original appearance, but gradually entered the maze.

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Then—Anson. Anson. Anson.

Everything revolves around this newcomer.

Last Thursday, the twenty-first episode of "Friends" aired. Anson's debut left a deep impression on people and ushered in a strong recovery in ratings. The name Anson is no stranger to entertainment reporters.

At the very least, making the headlines in the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times is enough to separate Anson from the rest of the average rookie actor unknown.

Even industry insiders who have not paid attention to "Friends" or the "Los Angeles Times" for the first time have more or less heard of the appearance of such a character.

But is it so?

No, in fact, "Anson Wood" is a complete mystery, a completely unfamiliar name.

A new person, a new person who jumped out of the cracks in the stone, not only became a guest on "Friends", but also became a third party in Brad and Jennifer's conversation.

Anson, who is it?
Think about it seriously. So far, people know nothing about this newcomer. Apart from a name, there is no basic information about his height and weight. Whether he has appeared in other works before, who his agency is, whether he is currently signed for other works, etc. Everyone knows nothing.

Does anyone really know him, has anyone really been in contact with him?

Blank.

This is not surprising. After all, this is Hollywood, and thousands of new actors emerge every day. A small success as a guest on "Friends" is not enough to make him truly enter everyone's field of vision.

until now.

The names of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are indeed enough to make him the focus of discussions after dinner.

While there is no background information, this means that everyone can interpret it for themselves.

Some people think that Anson is the illegitimate son of the CEO of NBC TV. Some people think that Anson is Jennifer's third love. Some people think that Anson is actually Courteney's lover. Jennifer is just used as a stand-in. Some people think that Anson is the billionaire's third-generation ex. Just come to the entertainment industry to have fun.

All kinds, all kinds.

But no matter what the guesses are, they all come back to the same question:
Why Anson?

To be more precise, why does Brad Pitt consider Anson a threat? Who is Anson? In other words, what is the charm of Anson?
You know, he became the "Sexiest Man in the World" selected by "People" twice in 1995 and 2000. He is also the only actor to receive such an honor. This is Tom Cruise, George Clooney and other handsome guys. There is no treatment that can be enjoyed, which shows Brad Pitt's image.

However, Brad warned an 18-year-old kid?

This is not reasonable.

But such an unreasonable thing was happening right now, so naturally, all eyes were focused on Anson.

After the shock of Saturday and the hustle and bustle of Sunday, Monday morning's rush was all heading toward Burbank.

at last!

People finally realized that the puzzle was missing a very, very important piece. In this triangle relationship, there was a voice that had been ignored for a long time——

Anson.

Of course, not only for Anson, reporters can also interview the other five main actors of "Friends" and observe the atmosphere of today's filming scene to further grasp the context; but the real main task is to observe Anson closely and find out the clues. A window to the truth.

If you think about it carefully, maybe this is the correct answer. After all, a newcomer or a rookie may have his knees trembling when he sees the media.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, the sound of the engine was approaching from far to near, all eyes were turned over, and then an Aston Martin appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Wait, who drives an Aston Martin in "Friends"?
