From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Lucas sized Ansen up seriously, not hiding his suspicion and confusion; but rarely, he couldn't capture the truth from Ansen's expression—

Or rather, Ansen had no intention of hiding it at all, it was just that Lucas dared not believe it.

Bathing in Lucas's gaze, the smile on Ansen's lips fully bloomed, "I'm serious. Didn't you see? I deliberately wore yesterday's costume to drink and sleep, this clothes…"

He looked down at the wrinkled shirt and suit, like dried sauerkraut, one could see the traces of last night's fierce battle. Although the costume team was skillful, this kind of immersive realism was still completely different.

Ansen revealed a satisfied smile, looked at Lucas, and nodded seriously, "That's the effect I'm pursuing."

Lucas supported his forehead and took a deep breath, but the breath was stuck in his throat, unable to come out, "I can't understand the world of you actors."

A sentence that made Ansen burst into laughter, "Haha, it's not that exaggerated, really." He leaned back and forth, laughing so hard that he couldn't control his center of gravity even sitting on the ground. Like a tumbler, he leaned backward, his head hit the wall behind him, and as a result, he lunged forward again, his temples buzzing and his head throbbing.

Lucas was speechless, "…Serves you right."

After a pause, Lucas turned to look at the door of the room, why hasn't Noah come back yet? Is the hotel kitchen so slow?

Looking at Ansen again, Lucas sighed softly, "Forget about the clothes, are you sure you don't need to take a shower and clean up? You're covered in the smell of residual alcohol and vomit, making me suspect you slept in a garbage dump last night."

This wave of headache finally calmed down temporarily. Ansen straightened his back again, lowered his head and smelled his clothes, his eyebrows instantly twisted completely.

Then, Ansen said seriously, "Let's just brush our teeth and wash our face today. No need to shower. Next time Johnny is in worse shape, we'll go straight to the set."

Lucas: There's a next time?

A breath stuck in his chest, Lucas was particularly depressed.

…

"Good morning."

"Good morning!"

Not too bad of a morning work time, but after seeing Lucas's expressionless face like a black-faced Yama, everyone fell silent, looking at each other and asking, but no one knew the answer.

For a time, rumors flew everywhere.

What Lucas's love request was rejected, what Lucas was dumped last night, what Lucas was horny and tried to solve his needs over the phone but failed.

Various rumors vividly described Lucas's private life last night.

The whispers couldn't stop at all.

The costume and makeup team were chatting about Lucas's gossip when they entered the theater backstage dressing room and saw that the lights inside were still on. They thought someone else had come to work even earlier, but upon closer inspection:

A person was sitting in front of the makeup table, legs crossed high on the makeup table, leaning back in the chair, supporting the body with only one chair leg, gently swaying, the whole person was swaying, looking like he was about to fall but also revealing a little complacency, a cowboy hat covering his cheeks, seemingly enjoying some lazy leisure time.

This scene?

"Who is it?"

Someone shouted angrily, and that person was startled, awakened from a dazed, half-dreaming state, and suddenly stood up, but failed clumsily, the whole person leaned back, along with the chair, simply overturned to the ground.

Others grimaced, as if they could feel his pain.

However, that person was lying on the ground, motionless, and no one knew what was going on.

Some of the bolder ones gathered their courage to investigate and exclaimed in surprise with a look of astonishment, "Ansen?"

The others who were secretly observing from a distance were all stunned, not daring to believe their ears.

What's going on?

In less than thirty minutes, rumors flew inside and outside the "Walk the Line" crew.

It was said that Ansen was dumped last night and drank so much that Lucas had to clean up the mess and stay up all night, and was in a completely low-pressure state this morning.

It was said that Ansen went out partying last night without doing his job properly, completely lacking professional spirit. Worried that something would go wrong with today's work, Lucas took the whole team to look for Ansen everywhere, and only found Ansen in the crew at dawn.

It was said that Ansen fell in love with Kate while filming "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", but his confession was rejected. Kate and Sam Mendes entered the marriage hall, and Ansen tried to steal her love but failed, so he drowned his sorrows in alcohol.

It was said that Ansen was flirting in a bar and ended up flirting with someone he shouldn't have, and was beaten up by a local motorcycle gang. He spent the whole night at the police station last night. Lucas went to bail Ansen early in the morning and tried to intercept the news to avoid being discovered by the media, and was in a state of distress.

It was said that Ryan Phillippe appeared last night, suspecting that Ansen and Reese were secretly having an affair, but he didn't catch anything. He became angry and fought with Ansen. Ansen ran to the crew in advance to avoid Ryan, and those sunglasses were to cover up his panda eyes.

Blah blah blah.

Noisy and bustling.

Everything was really unimaginable. In just thirty minutes, rumors had spread throughout the entire crew, so that when Reese and the others arrived at the crew, they felt an uncontrollable excitement and joy inside and outside the crew, confused and completely not understanding what had happened.

Reese looked confused, "Why do I smell the scent of gossip?"

At this time, it also verifies a constant truth in the world of fame and fortune:

A popular person attracts a lot of attention.

Originally, Ansen was standing at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. This time, because of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", he actually went to a higher level, creating a brand new peak in his career; at the same time, Ansen has always been mysterious, and the paparazzi can hardly dig out Ansen's secrets. In the case of being at the height of his career, there is no gossip or even much information—

Rumors are born in this way.

It was rare to see Ansen expose loopholes, and all kinds of guesses could not stop at all.

However, the rumors ultimately did not last too long, and the truth surfaced.

What! Ansen was actually trying the law by himself in order to prepare for today's scene, completely entering the state of the character, and using method acting to achieve a state where the person and the play are indistinguishable?

Everything was Ansen's attempt to explore the character.

Including hangovers, including getting up early, including lack of sleep.

Ansen arrived at the crew two hours early today and has been trying to fall asleep in a strange posture, but the quality of sleep can be imagined, so that his current state is terrible, but perfectly fits the character's state.

The makeup team and the styling team don't need too much work at all. Ansen has come prepared, so that the makeup team repeatedly sighed that Ansen's preparation is perfect, and even the most powerful technology can hardly restore the real state of the character—

But Ansen did it!
