The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 953 Close combat
Looking at Eve who looked serious and Edgar who was eager to explain himself, Anson couldn't help laughing, "Captain, it seems that you really don't want me to take on 'The Princess Diaries 2'."

Edgar blinked. "Is it really that obvious?"

Eve: "Wait, doesn't it say 'Princess Diaries 2 Get Out' on your forehead?"

Edgar did not refute, but just laid back and let the ridicule continue, "Obviously, Disney is ready to make a quick buck. They don't think this series of movies is worth exploring. They are just trying to make a quick buck by taking advantage of your current popularity."

"There are no roles or plots. All of that is missing. It's as simple as having good-looking characters, a good-looking story, and good-looking jokes."

"The point is, the script is not funny. Really, it's not funny at all. You can clearly see that it was rushed and cobbled together."

"Believe me, it was a disaster."

However, Anson may still take the script because of Gary Mitchell's favor, and Edgar shudders at the mere thought of it.

They spent a lot of effort to break the situation and finally got to the current position. After "Elephant" won the Palme d'Or, it was followed by "The Butterfly Effect", "Eternal Love" and "Spider-Man 2", which pushed Anson to the top step by step, and then the next one was... "The Princess Diaries 2", that super bad movie?
To be honest, Edgar couldn't imagine, nor could he watch Anson jump into the fire pit.

Anson raised his eyebrows slightly, "So bad? I'm a little curious."

Edgar: Uh, this...

On the side, Eve laughed unrestrainedly.

Anson did not continue to explain, "Hey, I have made my position clear, you should restrain yourself a little. Don't forget that I am still angry."

Eve quickly restrained her smile, deliberately put on a serious and dignified attitude, blinked and looked at Anson, as if to say, am I kneeling in the correct posture?

Anson laughed dumbly and turned to look at Noah, "Can you help me get the other phone on the kitchen table? Thank you."

Noah didn't say a word, trotted to the kitchen, and ran back with his phone.

Nowadays, the contact information of Hollywood actors is often leaked. Every once in a while, a group of actors' personal mobile phone numbers are circulated on the market. There are countless harassing calls, so much so that the actors have to change their mobile phone numbers every now and then.

But Anson knew that changing the number was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. If he couldn't figure out the reason why the contact information was leaked, it would be unavoidable after a period of time.

Therefore, Anson simply prepared two mobile phones, one for work use and the other for private contact with friends.

That way, even if his phone number was leaked, it would be a work number, so Anson wouldn't have to keep changing his personal phone number.

The phone that Noah just used to talk to Kristen and Jack was a personal phone; and the phone that Noah took now was a work phone.

Anson took the phone and suddenly became curious. He turned to look at Noah and said, "What's your opinion? Even if the captain said that, do you still support me?"

"Of course." Noah said without hesitation.

Anson was very surprised, "Oh?"

Noah, "Even if you are garbage, you can still shine."

One second, two seconds——

Eve exclaimed, “Wow!” and clapped her hands.

Anson looked at Edgar, "Captain, do you see? This is the correct way to open it."

Edgar widened his eyes and looked at Noah in surprise.

Noah didn't understand and looked at Edgar with a matter-of-fact expression, as if he didn't understand the problem. He just said the truth, so why were so many people so surprised?
Anson just laughed.

Ignoring Noah and Edgar, Anson picked up his work phone, searched for it, and found Gary Marshall's number.

If I remember correctly, this was the first time Anson called Gary's cell phone.

Just a moment later, Gary answered the phone, "Anson?" There was no trace of surprise in his voice.

Anson smiled, "Hey, Director, long time no see." Gary was even more surprised, "Jesus Christ, it's really you, I thought it was a scam call. By the way, congratulations, the Palme d'Or, it's worth celebrating."

Anson, "Everyone is celebrating me as if I really won the Palme d'Or, which is only because Director Gus doesn't care, otherwise I would be embarrassed."

"Haha." Gary laughed. "I was just being polite, but you took it seriously. Of course I know the Palme d'Or is not for you."

Be blunt.

Anson, "Hey, Director, is it so direct? I'm about to transform into a werewolf."

Gary burst into laughter. "I want to see you lose control. You really don't look like you're eighteen at all."

Anson shook his head repeatedly, "Director, I'm indeed not eighteen years old, I'm already twenty years old."

Gary, "Hahahaha", the laughter simply cannot be stopped——

After the Palme d'Or news came out, Gary did not congratulate Anson.

First of all, Anson is no longer the same as before, and has become the number one of the new generation.

Secondly, the two people have never contacted each other privately, and suddenly contacting each other at this time would seem flattering.

Thirdly, the collaboration on “The Princess Diaries 2” was not successful, and if Gary said he didn’t mind, that was % a lie.

But Gary was not surprised. This was the world of fame and fortune, where the powerful would bully the weak. Anson was in high spirits at this time, and it was normal for him to be superior to others. Even if he didn't like it, there was no need to make a fuss about it.

However, Gary's guesses were all wrong.

After a phone call, Anson was still the same Anson, with his natural humor and friendliness, and there seemed to be no difference. Gary felt relaxed at once.

Although he was surprised, Gary was glad that he had made a wrong judgment. It turned out that not everyone would lose themselves in the Hollywood world of fame and fortune.

"Wait, shouldn't you be celebrating at the party now? And why are you calling me?" Gary asked proactively.

Anson, "I'm still in France, it's morning here, early morning partying, even the French aren't that crazy, but the Spanish don't know."

"Hahaha." Gary laughed again.

Anson, "I called the director, mainly to talk about 'The Princess Diaries 2'."

Eve:......

Edgar's heart tightened. So, Anson was talking to Gary Marshall? What was Anson going to do?
Subconsciously, Eve looked at Edgar and lowered her voice, "Should we grab the phone before he does something stupid?"

In just one second, countless thoughts flashed through Edgar's mind like a revolving lantern, but he still couldn't figure out the purpose of Anson's behavior.

Edgar had to rethink the conversation they had just had, how they should continue their cooperation, and how he should position himself in the cooperation.

Should he stick to himself and rationally stop Anson from jumping into the cesspool; or should he trust Anson and believe that Anson can always make wise choices.

I have many thoughts.

It was at this moment that Edgar noticed Anson's gaze -

Without avoiding, he looked at Edgar and Eve with clear and bright eyes, as if he was examining and observing their reactions. Although he had no particular expression, there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

My heart suddenly shrank.

Edgar shook his head at Eve, his eyes revealing a firmness. "It's too late to stop it now. Let's wait and see what happens."

Eve pursed her lips and sat up straight again nonchalantly. "I have no opinion. Anyway, whether he stars in a super bad movie or not has no effect on me. I don't mind watching Anson Wood act crazy and stupid on the big screen. God, that should be very exciting."
