The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 969 Immersive Experience
The extra chapter is over too.

In the postscript, Carl Leavitt still verified Anson's identity through customs, but for netizens, this was still not enough.

However, as Carl said, he didn't care and wasn't going to argue -

Skeptics and conspiracy theorists always have endless possibilities to defend themselves, and once you get involved in their controversies, you may not be able to get out.

For Carl, this experience was wonderful and happy. He got to know Anson again. He was not a box office champion nor a history maker, not the one portrayed by the media nor imagined by fanatical fans, but the truth that he saw through his own eyes, after peeling off the veil of imagination and carefully peeked into, an ordinary person with flesh and blood.

An actor, and more importantly, a film lover.

Obviously, after the European street tour and Cannes, Anson's image is quietly changing, and this is the only thing Carl cares about.

However, Carl did not expect that this article would go viral.

Moreover, the car couldn't be stopped even with the brakes.

Amid the bustling discussion, the photo became the focus.

Carl: ??? Why?
Carl couldn't understand at all. What was there to discuss about a photo of a person's back? There was no information in the photo at all. How could he start the discussion?

Soon, Carl realized that he was still naive.

"This is Anson Wood!"

Fanatic fans made their voices heard——

Let’s first analyze the hoodie. This piece of clothing is an official joint product of NASA. Anson once wore it when he was on a street tour in Munich.

Then analyzing the backpack, it is a Norwegian outdoor brand. Anson carried it throughout his entire European street travel and it appeared in the camera very frequently.

Then I analyzed the back, from the image of the back of the head to the lines of the shoulders and arms to the upper body posture when walking, analyzing every detail like using a microscope, and even started to write a short essay on my own.

The most bizarre and unbelievable thing is that some netizens actually found a projection from the reflection of the billboard on the left, then enlarged and analyzed the image, and obtained a fuzzy facial outline, which was indeed Anson.

Each of them turned into Sherlock Holmes, not letting go of even the smallest and most trivial details, giving full play to the spirit of a woman uncovering evidence of her boyfriend's cheating, and finally came to a unanimous conclusion:
This is Anson.

Carl was dumbfounded, and netizens taught him a good lesson.

Indeed, don’t underestimate netizens.

However, not all netizens buy it. Many people refuse to believe it. The more these netizens analyze it, the stronger their opposition voices become.

Bustling and bustling.

It wasn't until a few hours later that TMZ released a New York street photo -

"Anson Wood Arrives in New York."

In this photo, Anson's outfit matches Carl's photo perfectly, exactly the same, and it was the same day that Carl and Anson arrived in New York. Seeing Anson, who had disappeared from everyone's sight, reappear in New York, TMZ confirmed that Anson returned to New York from Europe to prepare for the filming of "Spider-Man 2", indirectly confirming Carl's article.

In an instant, there was complete silence, and all the disputes disappeared completely.

After all, this is not the age of social networks, and some voices will never disappear.

Wow!
Instead there was an uproar and amazement, and netizens went crazy.

I never expected that Carl's experiences were all true!
Involuntarily, one by one, they began to imagine what it would be like if they met Anson by chance, if they ran into Anson in a coffee shop, a supermarket, or on the street. Their imaginations spread their wings and they could not stop.

Even Carl himself was caught off guard——

Originally, he just wanted to record his unforgettable magical experience, but it unexpectedly became the after-sales of the Cannes Film Festival, not only filling in the whereabouts of Anson after the tour, but also becoming a continuation of the film festival, and drawing a perfect end to Anson's three-month European trip. This was also something Eve could not have expected.

But it was just the right time to take advantage of the situation, add fuel to the fire, and continue building my personal brand.

Eve began to get ready, she just loved such unexpected challenges.

So, what about the parties involved?
……

Manhattan, New York, is still busy and noisy. The hustle and bustle of the people coming and going never slows down, and the endless stream of people are always busy.

Looking around, it seems that everyone is a super busy person who makes millions of dollars every minute, and there is not even time to slow down and watch the excitement.

However, there are some exceptions.

In this city where every inch of land is valuable, there are always some quiet corners where the noise and bustle are isolated and even time slows down.

Give art space to bloom quietly.

Unlike Europe, which has a long history and profound cultural heritage, North America's history is too short and has not had enough time to accumulate artistic heritage. Relatively speaking, this land has bravely embraced the times, and modern art has flourished.

It is for this reason that the Metropolitan Museum of Art attracts global attention.

In addition to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, countless small galleries and art studios can be seen in Greenwich Village, the Upper West Side, the East Village, etc., providing space for all kinds of artists to showcase themselves.

At this time, on a lazy afternoon, Nora Wood was busy in an art gallery in the East Village in downtown.

The weather was slightly gloomy, with thick clouds blocking the golden sun in the June afternoon. The whole city was shrouded in shadow, but it did not feel cool at all. Instead, it was dull, making people want to boil a pot of black tea to dispel the dampness and stuffiness in the air.

What you see before you is the result of Nora’s four months of busy work since she returned. It opened here three weeks ago, and a brand new art exhibition is on display.

This is an exhibition about urban space. A group of young artists use paintings to express their understanding of urban space and the position of contemporary young people in urban space based on their own understanding and interpretation.

In 2003, this was considered a very fashionable and fresh art theme.

Although art that explores urban space has always existed, it has never really set off a wave. In the past two years, a new batch of explorations have emerged. Artists are keen to explore the relationship between ordinary individuals and urban space. However, they have never been able to attract comprehensive attention in the market.

Lack of interest.

In Nora's opinion, this is a subject worthy of attention.

Having focused on classical art in recent years, Nora was eager to take on some new challenges; therefore, Nora took on this hot potato that no one was willing to take over, and offered to help almost as a charity.

however……

No one is there.

Nora felt a little annoyed. She turned her head and looked at the young people coming and going outside. One by one, they changed into short-sleeved shirts, suspenders, skirts, and sandals, and the youthful vigor was showing off wantonly; but no one was willing to stop in front of the gallery door.

At that time, when choosing the location for the exhibition, Nora's first reaction was to choose the Upper West Side.

The elite and the middle class gathered there. They were keen on enriching their spiritual world with art, and they could easily open up the situation by relying on Nora's connections.

But Nora immediately realized that this was tantamount to returning to her familiar track, with the same substance changed in a new way, just replacing different artworks in the same space, and in the end still expecting the same group of people to become the target audience.

This does not fit the purpose of the challenge.

So Nora overturned her own ideas, completely rethought the entire project, and finally chose the East Village as her target, where young art is thriving.

but now?
