From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Positive, enthusiastic, and genuine.

At least, that's the image Eve presented to the media. Anyone with eyes could see that Anson had high expectations for the Grammys.

However, when Eve accepted the interview, the reporters were definitely not willing to miss the opportunity for a head-on confrontation, and questions about the Oscars were thrown out directly.

"The Oscars?"

Eve smiled.

"Of course, that is an important stage that every actor longs to be on, but we all know that not just any actor can attend."

"I think Anson still needs to continue to work hard. Let's look forward to next year? There should be a chance next year. After all, as the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times."

Low-key, humble, and polite.

Eve's answer was impeccable, placing Anson in a low posture, just as the Academy expected—

Since you look down on Anson, even despise Anson, then we will cooperate with the performance, lower our posture, as if the Oscars are beyond our reach.

This time, the media exploded.

If Anson is out of reach, then no one in Hollywood is within reach now. From movies to music, from fashion trends to cultural trends, Anson is sweeping the current entertainment industry in all directions. His powerful influence has exceeded the scope that language can describe, and he is undoubtedly the number one person.

When it comes to the Oscar statuette, whether Anson can get it is debatable, but there is no suspense about the awards ceremony. Now it is not Anson who needs the Oscars, but the Oscars that need Anson.

Eve's words were absolutely lethal, pushing the Academy into an awkward position.

The Academy needs to respond as soon as possible.

However, Eve is strategizing, this game has already begun, how could she let the Academy easily escape the predicament?

The entire Hollywood is flattering and fearful when facing the Academy, including Eve. After all, this is the highest hall of the entire industry, and everyone yearns for a golden statuette.

Until Anson pointed out an obvious truth—

The Academy is not an abstract concept of authority, but a group of people.

Below are the judges, above is the management, all are people. Academy public relations is ultimately a game between people.

What's more, the Academy's prejudice and discrimination against pretty-boy actors has a long and deep-rooted history. Anson has been following the rules of the game to please and lick the Academy, which will only fuel their arrogance, make them look down on Anson even more, and put Anson into the stereotype. Anson may need ten years, twenty years, or even longer to integrate into the Academy and eventually win recognition.

Finally, "We evolve into the appearance we once hated and despised the most," these are Anson's original words.

In Anson's view, if he can get the recognition of the Oscars, he will happily accept this honor and praise, and will not reject it pretentiously; but if he needs to change himself and then be obsequious in order to get this recognition, he thinks it is not necessary—

"Do you think I need an Oscar to recognize my success? Without this Oscar, everything I have gained so far is meaningless? Hey, Eve, I'm not that naive."

So, why can't they use it to make some noise?

What is the worst outcome?

The Oscars permanently ban Anson? Is there any essential difference between this and the current prejudice and discrimination?

It seems... not really.

Sure enough, Anson is Anson, not only different, but also lawless, bold, and completely disrupting the entire Hollywood entertainment industry out of nowhere.

Eve likes it. She likes clients like this who allow her to let go and create havoc.

Since Anson said so, Eve's courage also began to grow, and the subsequent offensive became obviously sharper.

Tom Hanks took the lead in speaking out. This good old man would naturally not attack the Academy, but he said with a cheerful smile, "Obviously everyone wants to see Anson, and I am no exception."

A small pebble quickly stirred up layers of ripples.

Steven Spielberg, "Huh? Isn't Anson attending the awards ceremony? That kid isn't making excuses to be lazy, is he? You media are making a fuss about him again, right?"

Unlike Tom, Steven revealed a kind of taken-for-grantedness in his words, joking with the reporters, as if Anson's absence from the Oscars was something that could never happen.

Even Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "Fashion", who has always been low-key and mysterious, rarely said at Paris Fashion Week, "I am still looking forward to Anson Wood."

"I'm curious about his Oscar look this year, whether it can bring about a trend again. Dior is good, but Dior without Anson still lacks soul."

Movies, music, fashion—

Now everything is complete, and the entire entertainment industry is paying attention in all directions.

Kate Winslet, Sam Raimi, Charlie Kaufman, James Franco, Jay Leno, and Anne Hathaway all mentioned this matter on different occasions. Although the content was different, the subtext was the same:

Anson's absence from the Oscars is a loss for the Oscars.

Little by little, the momentum gathered in this way.

Originally, the general public was looking forward to Anson's attendance at the Oscars. Currently, the only topic figure who can compete with Johnny Depp is Anson. It is difficult to imagine what the scene would be like if Anson was absent from the awards ceremony.

Now, Hollywood insiders are also expressing their voices. This topic is spreading to Hollywood in a mighty manner, and the Academy must pay attention to it even if it does not want to, and it is becoming more and more serious.

The situation is developing rapidly, and the Academy is suddenly pushed into an awkward position.

Suffocated. Uncomfortable.

The Academy felt a trend of forcing the palace. The entire Hollywood seemed to be forcing and threatening the Academy. This feeling was too uncomfortable; but the problem is that they really need Anson, and the original plan also included Anson.

In the current situation, the Academy became coy and unwilling, and a rebellious psychology arose spontaneously, simply giving Anson the cold shoulder, letting Anson understand who is the boss!

But, is this really good?

The Academy's management is being roasted on the fire.

Despite being suffocated and depressed, the Academy finally figured it out. Adults have a lot of tolerance and will not argue with Anson, an ignorant pretty boy. They show their tolerance and generosity, quell the storm, and let Anson see their demeanor.

Taking a deep breath, the Academy responded in a timely manner—

Blah blah blah, warmly welcome Anson Wood as this year's awards presenter, blah blah blah, we look forward to Anson Wood shining at the awards ceremony.

At the end of a bunch of nonsense, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made its position clear, trying to quell the controversy.

So, how will Anson respond?
