The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 935: Unexpected Debut
Rustling, rustling.

The crew came on stage one by one, and in a blink of an eye only the last two were left——

"Mystic River" and "Elephant".

Who will be the finale?

The noise of whispering and chattering was extremely lively, spreading all over the entrance of the Film Palace, and it seemed that the red carpet was also getting restless.

There is something new about Emanuel.

Originally, she thought that she was the only one who cared about Anson's clothing style. After all, men's fashion was still a new field and the attention it received was limited.

But now it seems that the trip to Cannes is quietly changing this matter, and Anson has indeed demonstrated his broader and more far-reaching influence.

Imagine if - just hypothetically, if Anson won Best Actor tonight?

Wow.

This... this is really... unimaginable!
Just imagining the possibility makes my heart almost explode.

"coming."

There was a sound from the crowd, and everyone's eyes turned towards the red carpet entrance like a tsunami. The mixed emotions of excitement and nervousness made the whole world pause. There was a brief silence, as if there was no noise at all.

There was only the sound of waves gently rippling the air.

That is--

Gus Van Sant!

The "Elephant" crew arrived at the red carpet first.

Click, click, click.

The entire venue lit up with flash lights, pouring down towards Gus like a waterfall.

Controversy, confusion, focus.

When the official program came out, no one expected to see the "Elephant" crew at the closing ceremony.

The same goes for Gus himself.

I hurried back to Cannes. Everything happened so fast. I was busy and tense, like a clockwork. My heart is still beating wildly and I am still in shock. Confusion is clearly written on my face:

Who am I where am I what am I doing.

Standing on the red carpet, Gus looked a little reserved.

Yet no one can deny that Elephant packs a punch.

A primitive, rough, barbaric, yet strong, fierce, naked impact.

Even now, after the successive bombardments of "Dog Town" and "Brown Rabbit", the discussion surrounding "Elephant" has not yet calmed down.

That's the power of movies.

Later, Alex and Eric also walked onto the red carpet one after another.

Logically speaking, this is the second time, and after going through the baptism of a movie premiere, I should be able to relax a little and adapt to the flash lights; but the reality is not that simple, and a single experience cannot bring about a transformation.

On the contrary, the two people became more reserved and stiff.

Alex moved closer to Gus little by little, like a penguin.

Eric mocked Alex and prepared to show off his own stance, but ended up clumsily moving his hands and feet, and was no better.

There was a murmur of low laughter at the scene.

It was obvious at a glance that the "Elephant" crew was not prepared.

Evening dresses should be prepared temporarily.

Of course, it’s not that it doesn’t look good, but it lacks the carefully prepared feeling of a premiere. From the style to the color, everything is a little too formal.

White shirt, black suit, black bow tie.

The details may be slightly different, but the overall style is the same.

Judging from the brand, Gus should be Armani, Eric should be Dior, and Alex seems to be Burberry. Everyone chooses a suit that suits him, but the design and style seem to be quite conventional.

In a hurry, the key is to avoid mistakes.

Details often represent the truth. It seems that the crew of "Elephant" was indeed caught off guard. In an interview before, Gus said:
Being shortlisted for the Cannes main competition was already a surprise. He had originally just hoped to work with HBO to shoot such a work to bring some warnings and reminders, but Cannes was willing to accept this work and even give it main competition treatment. This was an honor, and he no longer had any other thoughts.

Awards? None at all.

Now it seems that Gus was being honest.

So, what about Anson?

The second car pulled up.

Brush brush.

All the cameras were adjusted at the same time, Emanuel's camera lens was aimed and focused, and at the moment the car door opened, his finger had already pressed the shutter.

Click, click, click.

The shutter sounds instantly climbed a step higher, and the surging heat wave at the entrance of the Film Palace burst down on me, and the world blurred into silver.

Moreover, at the moment Anson stood still, an even more astonishing energy unexpectedly burst out, and all other sounds disappeared.

Boom! Buzz buzz buzz...

There was a roar.

In the vast silver light curtain, Anson's figure was vaguely outlined, and his eyes looked at him carefully from bottom to top.

Black leather shoes, black trousers, nothing special.

The only thing worth mentioning is her body proportions. Her legs seem to have no end, which is always amazing.

Blue suit, white shirt, nothing special.

After a quick look, I couldn't see anything special about it and was a little disappointed.

It's not that the reporters are picky, but Anson has raised the standards of appreciation. The two sets of looks for the opening ceremony and the premiere were not only stunning, but also bold and sharp. They set off the red carpet with their sharpness and are still remembered today.

A comparison shows the difference.

Are Anson and Gus any different?

Wait, it seems to be different.

The most direct and eye-catching thing is Anson's suit jacket. Unlike the other three people, it is a navy blue single-button jacket.

What was special, however, was that Anson inexplicably rolled up the cuffs of his suit jacket.

What kind of rebellious and homeless way of dressing is this?
No one—note, no one!—would roll up their suit sleeves. For those nobles, even rolling up their shirt sleeves was considered unacceptably sloppy and lazy, let alone a suit?
But Anson did it.

Neatly and obediently, he rolled up his sleeves and folded them, just like a good student. Even if he was rebelling, he had to rebel in an orderly manner.

Then, the sky blue lining inside the suit was revealed.

Suits evolved into three-quarter sleeves, which was originally thought to make people look cheap and simple; but in fact, it did not. Instead, it made people look young and energetic.

Details, that's the key.

From black to navy blue to sky blue and finally to the white of the shirt, a set of clothes naturally shows a transition and change of color.

Just like "elephant".

In the movie, the change of the sky is the only spoiler in the shot. In daily life, it seems that nothing has happened, but the sky has already revealed the turning point of fate.

And Anson presents this in a calm way.

If you look more closely, you can find two more details.

For one, Anson skipped a bow tie, opting instead for a narrow, black, braided necktie.

People are used to the idea that the hem of their tie can be tucked into their belt; but Anson's tie only goes to the fourth button of his shirt.

Narrow and short.

Secondly, Anson has a red rope tied around his left wrist. There is no jewelry or diamonds, just a simple red rope, but it becomes the finishing touch of his entire look.

It was like a touch of red lighting up Gus and his friends' black suits on the red carpet at a premiere.

These styles may seem ordinary and regular, but in fact they are full of rebellion and ingenuity; moreover, everything is different because of Anson.

It grabs your attention and you can't take your eyes off it.
