The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 983 Skateboard Boy
"...Don't you think that silhouette looks like Anson?"

A voice emerged from the noisy clamor, causing laughter from everyone around, and the chatter of teasing and complaints surged happily.

"Yeah, yeah, it's like Anson was just wandering around downtown on a skateboard."

"Why does Anson need to ask for directions? Shouldn't he have three, four, five, or six assistants?"

"I have seen Leonardo DiCaprio ride a bicycle to the set, but that was in Burbank, at the Warner Bros. studio base, so maybe he doesn't like golf carts."

"From my impression, Anson should be shorter. This young man is obviously much taller."

"I guess it's a courier, delivering the documents from Wall Street here."

There was a huge crowd in front of me, just like the gathering before a parade party. Just as John said, half of the actors in Hollywood came out in full force, and everyone was eager to be a part of "Spider-Man 2".

There is no doubt that the start of filming of "Spider-Man 2" is the most noteworthy industry trend in the first half of the year. Not only have all the media reporters gathered on the crew to prepare to shoot first-hand material and warm up for this sequel; professionals within the film industry have also cast their attention, including actors, agents, producers, etc., no one is exempt.

"Titanic" made history, but the movie has no sequels.

“Spider-Man” also made history and came close to surpassing “Titanic,” a movie that has sequels to its credit.

To some extent, the industry has already placed this superhero movie in the position of "Star Wars", expecting the "Spider-Man" series to once again change the landscape of the Hollywood film industry.

All eyes are on you.

Looking at this scene, you can deeply feel the influence of "Spider-Man".

Although it was just an ordinary scene set on the streets of New York, Sam Raimi insisted on shooting on location, which ignited the enthusiasm of New York city residents early on. They truly regarded Peter Parker as their good neighbor and a good citizen of New York, and were willing to stop for a while when passing by.

This is already an exception in busy New York.

John was limited in height and was lost in the crowd, but he still looked through the dense crowd, searching for the whereabouts of the skateboarding boy.

The skateboard boy arrived at the sign-in place smoothly. After a brief exchange of words, the crowd became excited and the hectic and ecstatic atmosphere could be seen from a long distance away.

Then, the skateboard boy successfully entered the crew. He even turned around and waved to express his gratitude.

In the sunshine, his smile is particularly bright.

John whistled in response, and there was a commotion all around.

Then, they watched the skateboard boy walk towards the black Transformers luxury trailer and began to get anxious.

"That boy..."

"Ah, no way, are you in trouble?"

"Is it out of curiosity?"

Staff members came and went around the skateboarding boy, but no one stopped him. He arrived unhindered, opened the car door and got in.

heh.

There was an exclamation.

Everyone expressed their concern and exchanged surprised glances with each other.

John blinked, and a ridiculous thought subconsciously popped up in his mind, "Anson..."

The words rushed out of his throat, turning the vague guess in his brain into reality, and then he was stunned, frozen in place as if struck by lightning. Crash!

In an instant, the bustling and noisy crowd fell silent, as if their throats were strangled. Everyone looked at each other, but they had completely lost the ability to react. A sense of silence spread among the surging crowd, and the world seemed to have stopped turning temporarily.

……

The carriage in front of me is spacious and bright——

Open the trailer door and go up the stairs, and you will be greeted by a living room, a rectangular space with natural wood floors and a small open space. You can dance the waltz here, but the tango may be a little restrained.

On both sides of the long sides of the rectangular space, the kitchen is on the left side near the door, which includes a sink, refrigerator, cabinets, microwave oven, etc., and even an oven; on the right side away from the door is a long sofa against the wall, with beige as the base color, supplemented by gray and dark blue, which is low-key but bright.

On both sides of the short sides of the rectangle, on the left is the bedroom, where you can see a two-meter double bed, which almost fills the entire carriage; on the right is the bathroom and wardrobe, both spotless, as if everything was brand new, just like when you first stepped onto the Titanic.

Not only is it spacious, but it is also modern.

To be honest, this space is even more comfortable and cleaner than most apartments in downtown New York, and my mood immediately brightened.

And this space belongs completely to Anson, and only to Anson.

This was one of the conditions when Edgar negotiated the contract renewal with Sony Columbia. When the agent discussed the actor's contract, the salary and dividends were only part of it, and there were other details besides.

For example, whether a performance scene requires nudity, whether male actors need to show their abdominal muscles, and whether female actors need to show their curves.

For example, working hours, working beyond the stipulated time, and whether actors have the right to protest or participate in discussions.

For example, the treatment of the crew. For a crew like "Spider-Man" that insists on shooting on location, a trailer is indispensable, but most actors do not have their own exclusive trailers, and the entire crew may share two trailers. In addition, three meals a day, afternoon tea, and the actors' personal eating habits, etc., all the details of daily life are within the scope of discussion.

The most typical case is Mariah Carey, who is well-known throughout the industry.

When arriving at the hotel, there must be a red carpet and white candles to welcome you; there must be twenty humidifiers in the room; the dog must have a special car; a temporary gym must be set up in the next room of the hotel; an antique table must be airlifted to the scene and used specifically for autograph sessions; and eleven bodyguards are required to surround the dining table to prevent their eating habits from being exposed.

And so on and so forth.

Some of these details are the terms and conditions clearly stated in black and white in the contract; some are the result of on-the-spot mediation relying on the agent's ability.

Simply put, if the agent wishes, even details such as how much time is left for smoking and toilet breaks each day can be included in the contract.

What Edgar had secured for Anson were only the most basic and routine requirements, and Sony Columbia met them all without further ado.

Compared with box office profits, these are small matters.

Anson deserves it.

knock knock.

There was a knock on the door behind him. After getting Anson's permission, the car door opened again and Noah came on stage.

As an assistant, Noah has been on vacation for a very long time, a very long, very long time, so with "Spider-Man 2" ready to start filming, things are finally busy again, and Noah is eager to get started, happy that he can finally be of use.

Unexpectedly, Anson insisted on going to the crew by himself, just like Peter Parker in the opening stage of the movie, he tried to get into the role; as a result, Noah was useless, so he arrived at the crew early to prepare for Anson's work.

Noah, having just learned that Anson had arrived, ran over with great joy.

"How is it, how does it feel?"
