The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 927 Cultural Heritage
"So, of the 3Ss that Cannes has always emphasized, two of them need to disappear before the third S can be seen. I see." Anson sighed.

Scarlett was slightly stunned, and took a beat to react. Anson was complaining that the ocean in Cannes during the day was dull, and that one had to wait until the sun and the sexy scenery were gone before one could see the magnificence of the Mediterranean.

Damage, real damage.

With a smile on her face, Scarlett also joked, "But that's why the beach screening at night is so romantic."

Following Scarlett's line of sight, you can see a large screen propped up on the beach not far away. At this moment, a black-and-white movie is playing. In the silver light and shadow of the screen, you can see a row of neatly arranged beach chairs. Isn't this another kind of experience?

Anson, "Look, this is the destination. I planned to come here from the beginning. Now that we are in Cannes, no one should miss the beach screening."

Scarlett was surprised. She didn't expect Anson to be so shameless. "Really? The original destination was the beach screening here?"

Anson said righteously, "Of course. How about we buy some food, move a little further away, sit further back, and have a picnic while we watch the movie?"

Watching a movie on the beach, because of the open space, the whole viewing atmosphere is completely different, just like a drive-in theater. Watching a movie in the form of a picnic is another kind of enjoyment.

Scarlett was about to complain, but her belly betrayed her——

Gurgle. Gurgle.

Like thunder.

Scarlett was a little embarrassed. She raised her head and bumped into Anson's eyes. She shifted her focus slightly to hide her embarrassment, but still mustered up the courage to laugh at herself, "I'm sleepy and hungry. Look at what I've been through in Cannes."

"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer?" said Anson.

Scarlett: "Hahaha. Thank you, thank you for not saying 'desert island survival'."

Anson looked around, trying to find a place where he could buy food to go.

Anson has been busy since arriving in Cannes. He has been busy all the time. It was not until today that he had the opportunity to enter the film festival mode. Therefore, this is the first time that Anson has seen the town of Cannes at night.

The restaurants were basically closed, and the luxury stores on the seaside boulevard had no lights on. The whole town quickly went into hibernation.

One can't help but wonder, where should we go to eat when we go out at night?
Is it all party?
Scarlett observed Anson. "Dinner?"

Anson spread his hands. "Yes, I'm beginning to worry that we might starve to death."

Scarlett has been particularly comfortable in Cannes these days, participating wholeheartedly in the atmosphere of the film festival and becoming more familiar with the town. "Just leave the Croisette."

Anson slapped his forehead and said, "Ah, I forgot. There is more than just one seaside boulevard in Cannes."

Scarlett, "Normally, when people come to Cannes, they often hang out on the Croisette. All the film festival equipment and venues are concentrated here, and they can't leave this area. But people living in Cannes stay away from this area."

Anson, “Same as Las Vegas.”

Scarlett was stunned, and couldn't help but smile, "Ha, indeed, it's just like Las Vegas."

"But we need to go back the same way and pass by the Riviera Palace again. Is that okay?"

Anson waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay. Even if we are discovered, it's okay. At worst, we can continue to argue with them and see who wins. Anyway, I won't lose."

"Haha." Scarlett laughed, and then couldn't help laughing, "It seems a little different here."

Anson was puzzled. "Which part?"

Scarlett, "I mean, the atmosphere of discussing movies. In Hollywood, I have also participated in such occasions, either premieres or public relations occasions, or fan parties, but when discussing movies there, almost all of them are praises and compliments."

Anson laughed out loud, "Because that's Hollywood." Scarlett, "Is that a code?"

Anson waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no, no. We are not discussing a PR occasion here. Forget about those commercial compliments. We are simply discussing a fan occasion. Hollywood - or should I say Los Angeles or even California, they value praise and believe that praise can make people progress."

"So, no matter whether you do well or not, they can always find the bright spots in a pile of garbage and give you confidence, making you believe that you can do it."

"But it's different in Cannes, or in Europe. Here, people believe that constructive criticism is the way to get to the bottom of things, and it's the best way to grow and improve. So when discussing a film, you can hear countless opinions, and everyone has their own ideas."

"correct?"

“Not necessarily. There is no 100% correct answer in art. Maybe even we ourselves will improve. The view I hold now will be overturned by me in a few years. But the key is to put forward different viewpoints, communicate and collide with each other, and finally form your own ideas.”

“So, when discussing art, let’s not talk about professionals, just ordinary people. The background of Europeans is much deeper than that of North America, because they are not surrounded by praises, they don’t think they are geniuses waiting to shine, and they are willing to truly understand art based on facts.”

It turns out that behind this simple phenomenon lies the formation of the entire culture and social values.

Scarlett suddenly realized and raised her chin slightly, "No wonder Europeans always look down on Americans for being uncultured."

Anson spread his hands, "I can't refute it."

Scarlett, “Haha.” After a pause, she still couldn’t control herself, “Hahaha.”

Anson's mouth corners also rose, "So, how do you feel? You were very quiet just now."

Scarlett waved her hands, "No, no, don't worry about me. I'm just a little surprised."

After thinking about it, Scarlett decided to be honest.

"Honestly, I can't keep up."

"I started acting very early, and I didn't experience much school life, let alone art. My knowledge of common sense and academics is also very limited. I have always dreamed of being able to participate in such discussions."

"You know, just like the legendary college life, I always have some unrealistic romantic imaginations and long to be like all ordinary college students."

"But today, when I really got involved, I realized that my thinking speed and knowledge reserves could not keep up. I didn't even know how to think."

A little bit bitter, a little bit lonely.

As child stars, they live under the spotlight at a young age, which is always envied by others; but at the same time, the price they pay is that they must sacrifice their childhood and the accumulated time they have accumulated to perceive the world with knowledge.

Anson half-jokingly said, "Don't worry, in the United States, there is no such level of discussion on college campuses."

"Hahaha." Scarlett laughed out loud, "Thanks for your comfort."

"but."

Scarlett thought about it seriously and smiled slightly.

"In fact, I like it. Even though they make me realize how small and ignorant I am, I like this atmosphere."

“A simple and pure atmosphere, but putting aside all guards and auras, focusing wholeheartedly on the film.”

“I enjoy it.”
