The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 929 Ordinary Audience

When Anson meets Cannes, it equals love.

Anson seemed to have really fallen in love with Cannes, not as an actor, but as a audience member, completely immersed in the atmosphere of the film festival.

So, rather than saying that Anson fell in love with Cannes, it is better to say that Anson fell in love with movies. His series of performances were completely like those of a crazy movie fan, and he was no different from the millions of audiences who showed up in Cannes.

Moreover, most of the audiences arriving in Cannes are "working people". Watching movies is not just for entertainment, but also requires the task of writing scripts. But Anson does not need to do that. Anson can devote 100% of his energy and enjoy himself to the fullest.

Carl still remembers that when he came out of the Debussy Hall on the first floor of the Film Palace that day, he also saw Anson, and subconsciously raised his voice to greet him, ready to talk about his feelings about the film he had just watched in the Un Certain Regard section.

But Anson said apologetically that he had to hurry because a master class was being held in the Buñuel Hall on the fifth floor of the Cinema Palace and he didn't want to miss it. As he spoke, he sprinted and there was no time to take the elevator, so he pushed open the door of the fire escape and ran all the way.

Carl stood there in astonishment, dumbfounded.

Within a few hours, Carl heard the follow-up that Anson arrived at Buñuel Hall sweating profusely and successfully caught up with the master class; but halfway through the master class, Anson left early because he had to rush to Studio 13, where he watched the re-screening of "Mystic River".

Busy, compact, full of energy and excitement.

Anson is no different from everyone else, eating a sandwich as he rushes between different venues. He even discusses movies with other audiences while drinking water. After getting up early in the morning, he rushes to the Lumiere Hall to watch the main competition works, or plans other movie-watching itineraries.

Full! Overwhelmed!
Anson admitted that this was his first film festival and he was a little greedy, wanting to see this and that, so in the end he had no choice but to sacrifice his sleep.

"It's just a few days anyway."

One sentence, resonated with everyone——

I couldn’t help but think back to my first film festival that year, it was exactly the same!
The sigh came out naturally. It turns out that we are still young. It’s great to be young.

Not only Carl, but Emanuelle also heard various rumors on the streets, which made her realize that perhaps she could continue to complete the original project idea.

So Emanuelle gave up most of the premiere red carpets. Anyway, there were countless photographers on both sides of the red carpet, and everyone could capture those classic moments on the red carpet. Instead, she started her own project:

Anson Wood.

Unlike the red carpet and the job where the spotlight follows you everywhere, what is Anson like in his daily life when he takes off the halo of a Hollywood star?
What does his fashion philosophy, his dressing style, and his daily outfit look like?
Everything, just like the stunning moment Emmanuelle captured on the train arriving in Cannes, she wanted to see Anson outside of the spotlight.

Of course, Emanuel knew he was taking a big gamble by forgoing the film festival red carpet to focus on one person.

But it didn't take Emanuel long to firmly believe that he had made the right decision.

Shirts, short-sleeved shirts, tennis shirts, jackets, windbreakers, cardigans, hoodies, casual suits, and so on. Simple styles create different charms through matching and layering. There are not too many fancy and complicated things, and the youthful atmosphere revealed in the simplicity and elegance is enough to attract attention.

Under the spotlight, Anson always exudes a strong aura, easily grabbing the attention and making people want to worship him.

But in daily life, light, simple, sporty and fashionable have become the key words, showing his youthful, sunny and handsome side that catches the eye and makes people want to become his friends.

Last year, the American version of "Vogue" launched a column, "How to be like Anson", which specifically introduced Anson's matching taste, which caused widespread heated discussion. Now, Emanuel thinks they can launch an "everyday version", which does not need famous brands or top designers, but those clothes that anyone can buy and can afford, but in Anson's arrangement and combination, it shows personal temperament, and at the same time it is not trendy.

In particular, Anson's natural French temperament shines even more brightly under the sunshine of the Cote d'Azur.

Whether you admit it or not, the biggest attraction of this year's Cannes Film Festival is Anson.

Emanuel is satisfied with her work. Even if the theme she planned fails in the end, she thinks she has gained a lot.

In fact, Emanuel did not—

Her idea was finally successfully published in the Italian version of "Vogue", and was extended based on red carpet fashion to form a new theme.

"Anson Wood by Day and Night".

The Italian version of "Vogue" planned the entire program based on the classic movie "La Dolce Vita", which not only features day and night, black and white and color, but also the front and back of the stage, showing two completely different styles of Anson.

This is also the second time after "Cat and Mouse" that Anson has demonstrated his ability to control different styles and show different temperaments, exploring his different possibilities as an actor.

This issue of the magazine was very popular in Europe.

It was sold out in Italy, so the magazine had to be reprinted three times to barely meet market demand; in addition, France, Spain, Britain, Germany and other places all snapped it up, making it the best-selling issue of the Italian version of "Vogue" in the European market since the millennium.

The sparks created between Anson and Cannes were truly eye-catching; and thanks to the discussion the band caused in Europe on August 31st, Anson rose strongly in Europe in a slightly unexpected way, even more so than the craze of "Spider-Man" and "Catch Me If You Can".

This is not the end.

Two months later, the Italian version of "fashion" swept across the Atlantic Ocean and caused heated discussions in North America, triggering another wave of buying frenzy.

however!
Italy has stopped reprinting the book, so the supply in North America has exceeded the demand. The black market price has skyrocketed to $600 per copy, but there is still no demand.

For this, Emanuel became famous.

But even Emanuel, who planned everything himself, could not have predicted all this.

At that time, Emmanuel looked back on his time in Cannes as if it were a wonderful dream, especially the last few days.

Day after day, in the busyness and rushing around, I couldn't feel the passage of time at all. Before I had time to sort out my thoughts, ten days had passed quickly. The Cannes Film Festival ushered in its last day, which was also an important day for the closing ceremony and awards ceremony.

Tonight, at the awards ceremony, the jury will announce the winners of the Palme d'Or and various other awards.

The Cannes Film Festival is about to reach its grand finale at its climax, announcing the end of the annual Cannes event.
