From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Everything, was it all Anson's preparation for the performance?

This…

Really?

Firsthand information from the styling and makeup teams once again stirred up a shocking wave, the previous rumors had not even had time to fully spread before they were overturned.

Some people believed it—

Because this is indeed Anson, it seems like something Anson would do.

Forgotten already?

In order to record the special deluxe edition of the "Midsummer Midnight" album, after arriving in Memphis, Anson unreasonably disrupted the crew's filming schedule. Just when everyone was complaining, things took a turn for the better. In the first scene of filming, Anson won a great start for the work with his stunning performance.

Details and truth are proving that Anson devoted all his efforts to this work, and the subsequent working conditions of the crew are further proving this point.

The current situation is so similar to the situation before filming started.

Why is it impossible?

However, some people do not believe it—

Are you sure? This is Hollywood!

Those who really understand Hollywood know that there are countless situations of revelry, losing oneself, and falling into darkness. Why should Anson be any different?

They have not forgotten that Anson is still young, not yet twenty-two years old this year, an age full of curiosity and longing for Hollywood and the world of fame and fortune.

"Another Light's" unstoppable momentum and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind's" subversion of the market have raised Anson's status in Hollywood to an incredible height.

For anyone, this is a huge honor and achievement. Even a veteran like Johnny Depp, who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, will inevitably lose himself when surrounded by such praise and worship, let alone a young man like Anson who has only been in Hollywood for three years?

Perhaps, when the crew started filming, Anson was indeed full of expectations for this work and devoted all his efforts to it. This is possible.

However, during the filming process, Anson's mentality changed, and he fell into the world of fame and fortune, losing himself. This is also possible.

Judging from various signs, Anson did mess up last night. He became complacent in the face of great success. After all, he is still young and exposed his true nature.

The lighter consequence is drinking and making mistakes, which the crew members can empathize with and fully understand. Who hasn't been young?

The subsequent rumors are the smokescreens they released, trying to cover up Anson's mistakes and faults. They are not satisfied with shifting the target, but choose to attack head-on, deliberately describing bad things as good things, and righteously gilding Anson's image.

Is such a public relations tactic still fresh in Hollywood?

Of course, it is indeed clever. When caught in a predicament, instead of being dragged down by the crisis, they turned the crisis into an opportunity and launched a counterattack.

From this point of view, Anson has a strong public relations team, and their ability to handle crises temporarily is comparable to that of professionals in "24 Hours."

But they are not children anymore, and they are all industry insiders who have been in Hollywood for a long time. They are not so naive and not so simple.

Or, to put it another way:

In the bizarre world of fame and fortune, which is more credible: an actor standing at the top of the pyramid is willing to become obsessed with the role; or an actor who became famous at a young age and reached the top is lost in the dazzling and noisy world of revelry?

Obviously, the latter.

No one can deny the existence of the former. After all, we shouldn't condemn everyone with the same brush; but the cruelty of reality is that the former is too rare, and the latter is the mainstream. People are generally more willing to believe the latter and are easily convinced by the latter's "dark side of human nature."

It's like a theft in a supermarket, the suspicious eyes always habitually look at the black people on the scene—

However, in real life, according to police records, the suspects who steal in supermarkets are mostly white middle-aged women.

There is always a deviation between prejudice and truth, reality and speculation. The focus is often not on what the facts are, but on how people imagine them.

Right now, it is the same. In the Hollywood crew, the staff give full play to their imagination, and the rolling heat waves of various rumors and speculations cannot be stopped at all.

Interestingly, the crew members are whispering and discussing like secret agents, just waiting for a secret code to enter the world of "Mission: Impossible" in a second; but Lucas and Anson seem particularly calm and composed.

They should know that rumors are spreading in the crew, but no one is stopping these rumors, and the crew's management is also turning a blind eye and letting it go—

What is going on?

Lucas and Anson's calm and upright attitude makes people wonder, are these rumors all wrong? Did they all guess wrong? Did nothing really happen last night?

Then, it unexpectedly caused another wave of heated discussion, and this gossip wave is still intensifying, with no sign of stopping in a short time.

The actors have naturally heard about it, after all, the crew is just a small circle.

After hearing the rumors, Reese looked surprised—

Others don't know, but she doesn't believe it.

Imagine that when "The Butterfly Effect" and "Elephant" were released to great acclaim, Anson was able to stay away from the noise and hustle and bustle, go incognito to sing in bars, and sing for two months. This requires great perseverance and determination.

Can such a person become complacent just because of the great success of a movie?

What's more, how much effort did Anson put into the role of Johnny Cash? He even offended the academy for this work and was absent from the awards ceremony for the second consecutive year. Everyone saw it. How could Anson be so stupid as to destroy his own future? Especially when the filming of the movie is only halfway through?

Hehe.

Reese just found it absurd and funny.

But Reese also knows the power of these rumors. No one in Hollywood can escape it. She couldn't help but worry and subconsciously looked at Anson.

But she found that Anson was still sleeping soundly with his head drooping, without any sign of worry, which made Reese couldn't help but smile silently.

Beside her, the assistant lowered her voice and told Reese that Anson got up early at six in the morning, because the hotel kitchen prepared breakfast for him, and the news leaked out.

Getting up three hours early?

If Anson was really reveling last night and is so sleepy now, how could Anson get up so early? A little thought will reveal that the logic doesn't make sense.

So, those rumors?

Reese leaned closer to the assistant, "Do you assistants all know about this?"

The assistant shook her head.

Reese, "Then let everyone know."

In any case, Reese still doesn't want the people in the crew to criticize Anson. She has experienced such things herself. She knows what it's like to be surrounded by rumors but unable to defend herself. She hopes to help Anson as much as she can.

After all, they are partners.
