From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Music. Plot. Characters. Emotion. Performance. Direction.

Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, fitting together perfectly, the entire scene vividly comes to life, the composition of a short film already taking shape.

Garry admitted that Anson had surprised him once again, and again, and again.

He thought he had already given Anson a very high evaluation and was constantly raising his expectations, but he didn't expect that Anson could break those expectations again and continue to bring unexpected discoveries, like a treasure, making people can't help but continue to dig and dig, looking forward to more discoveries.

Applause?

Anson deserves it.

Garry loves making movies, loves the "Princess Diaries" project, loves Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway, and also loves Anson.

But Garry really didn't expect that Anson would become the biggest discovery of "Princess Diaries".

In this scene just now, Anson showed Michael's charm, showed the interaction between Michael and Mia, and also showed his understanding of the character and the plot, even further exploring on the basis of the director, giving the character and plot life, naturally developing the content.

People always say that directors make actors, and an excellent director is often good at digging out the most charming and touching side of actors. Garry is not so sure about this. He always prefers to attribute it to the actors, because he believes that the charm of actors will naturally shine in front of the camera; but Garry believes that actors can also make directors.

Excellent actors are like gold, they can shine at any time and any place, and they can also bring creative inspiration to the director.

Wonderful, wonderfully indescribable!

It can be seen from the performance on the scene that perhaps the applause may be fake, just a polite gesture, but those excited faces and bright eyes will not. They clearly carry the surging and excitement in their minds. Who can refuse such a moment, a magical moment belonging to the movie.

Clap clap clap.

Clap clap clap!

The applause became more and more noisy and surging, accompanied by whistles and cheers, filling the entire auto repair shop, continuing to heat up, and couldn't stop at all.

So much so that Garry stood in front of Anson, trying to speak but couldn't find an opening.

However.

Garry didn't mind. Such a moment is worth enjoying, letting every cell be immersed in it, feeling the moment when artistic creation collides with sparks.

Anson was a little unaccustomed—

This was the first time he had received such treatment.

Last time on the "Friends" set, those applause and laughter may have been due to the guidance of the staff, or it may have been because of their love for the series.

Today is different.

Everything was sudden, everything was sincere. Under the gaze of those jealous, dirty, and ugly eyes, the band completed an excellent performance.

Not only that, these applause and whistles are also a proof, proving that Anson's musical creation can win the love and recognition of the audience.

This is very important.

In a trance, Anson seemed to return to those years before he was twenty-five years old in his previous life. At that time, he still believed in dreams, believed in the future, and firmly believed that he could change the world, blooming and running wildly in his short life, the world unfolding under his feet.

Things seem to have changed dramatically, but it seems that nothing has changed.

Quietly watching this scene, and then a smile gradually crept up the corner of his mouth.

Anson looked at Garry, his eyes bright.

"Ha", Garry didn't hide his satisfaction, laughing happily, "It seems that you really brought a surprise, and it's still a big gift package."

After a pause, Garry looked at the three young people next to him with blank expressions—

The impact of this scene on them is unimaginable, far beyond Anson, almost unable to believe everything they saw.

Ned even had a dazed expression, with "scared shitless" written on his forehead.

"Young men, well done." Garry didn't hesitate to praise them, "Wonderful, very wonderful, it seems that you haven't been playing around these days."

However, the three young people did not respond, just nodded randomly like nodding dolls. They should need a little buffer time.

Garry looked at Anson again, "So, this is your own creation?"

Anson nodded, "The lyrics are specially written to match the plot, so it's the most appropriate."

Garry revealed a hint of appreciation, "I like it very much." One sentence, concise and clear, is enough, "Especially that sentence, 'She doesn't know she is beautiful, but that's what makes her more beautiful'."

Anson agreed—

"She doesn't know she is beautiful, that's what makes her more beautiful (She - doesn't - know - she - is - beautiful, that's - what - makes - her - beautiful)."

This lyric was inspired by the single "What Makes You Beautiful" released by One Direction in 2011.

The single itself has a strong youthful atmosphere, the mood of a middle school student confessing to his crush, youthfully showing those green emotions.

And that lyric, placed in the context of "Princess Diaries", especially in Michael's eyes of Mia, is the most appropriate.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Mia is just a transparent person, an ordinary girl; but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In Michael's eyes, she is the most beautiful.

Based on the lyrics, the melody naturally flowed out, but it was even simpler. Before and after, Anson only took twenty minutes to complete the entire creation.

The effect of today's live performance also far exceeded Anson's imagination. After the music connected with the audience, with the scene, and with others, sparks burst out, his heart beating wildly, pulling his sight to search in the crowd.

Sight, collision.

Annie was startled, like a frightened rabbit, but then Annie realized her actions, so, was she guilty?

But why should she be guilty?

Reflexively, Annie looked up again, and then she saw the faint smile flickering in Anson's bright eyes.

Annie was speechless. The first reaction was—

Funny face.

Opening her mouth and sticking out her tongue, rolling her eyes, twisting her facial features, completely without any image; and it was indeed a super ugly funny face.

Pfft.

Anson almost didn't control it. The corners of his mouth had already raised. He quickly controlled himself, withdrew his gaze, and stared at Garry's eyes, "This is Mia in Michael's eyes."

Garry was still old, his eyes were not good, he didn't notice the details of Anson's eyes, he only saw Anson's smile, but this was not surprising, "Indeed. In fact, I think this is the core theme of the movie."

Anson's attention was a little distracted, and he was trying very hard to hold back his laughter—

Because Annie was still making funny faces.

Not only ordinary funny faces, but completely master-level, one after another, endlessly, each different, perfectly showing another level of professionalism.

Anson had to use all his strength to control his facial muscles in order to control his smile. Barely.

Fifth update.
