From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Gary didn't know what was happening here, but he knew that for old guys like them in their sixties, three meals a day needed to be on time, otherwise, their bodies would protest.

Other things could wait for the moment.

Julie noticed Gary's gaze towards Anson, and she proactively waved her hand, grabbing Gary's attention to defuse the situation for Anson, "After living for so many years, I still have some self-care ability to eat when I'm hungry."

The small jest made everyone laugh.

Anson stood up, made way, and made an inviting gesture. Julie put her hand on Anson's arm and used a little force to stand up smoothly.

Taking a step forward, Gary had already come to meet her, raising his right arm like a gentleman. Julie took Gary's arm and walked towards the crew's catering truck.

"That young man is not bad," Julie didn't explain, just simply praised.

Gary immediately understood, turned his head to look over, a hint of a smile in his eyes, "Which one are you talking about?"

Julie glared at Gary, knowing at a glance that this guy was playing dumb, "Both are good."

Gary's smile landed on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, yes, yes."

The two big shots walked in front, and the crew naturally parted ways as if welcoming Moses, while the two young people followed behind, keeping a slight distance.

Anson lagged behind half a step, looked at Annie, and then saw Annie's frustrated expression, "What's wrong?"

Annie took a deep breath, "There's too much information. Sometimes I feel like I understand, but sometimes I feel like I don't understand anything."

Anson deeply agreed—

Understanding from a theoretical level, from a paper-talking level, is already not easy; let alone digesting everything into your own thing and putting it into practical operation?

Difficult.

Now, he was just standing at the entrance of a magnificent acting world, getting a glimpse of it, not even stepping over the threshold, but just peeking at some scenes, and he already felt it was interesting and a little excited.

Fortunately, they didn't need to rush to become fat with one bite.

At least in "The Princess Diaries", there was no need to worry about these problems.

Whether it was Annie or Anson, adding some chemical reactions on the basis of acting naturally was enough, there was no need to be too profound.

For now, both of them were performing well.

As for the future, there was still time to slowly study it.

Anson looked at Annie, "It's okay, Julie's filming has just begun, we still have the opportunity to continue observing closely and continue to discuss."

"There are still many opportunities to learn."

"Maybe, the only thing we need to worry about now is that there are too many questions. Julie may not have the patience of Sister Maria, but may instead 'punish' us like Marie-Poppins. Why don't you ask the questions next time?"

Annie, "Me?"

Since when did it become "we"? Weren't today's questions all from Anson? How did the subject suddenly switch?

Anson looked calm, "Opportunity, this is an opportunity you must seize, show your eagerness to learn, I'm selflessly creating an image for you."

"How about it, are you ready to thank me properly?"

"Actually, there's no need for that. Where's the need for thanks? Just treat me to a big meal. We help each other. Seafood, what do you think?"

Annie: ???

Smooth sailing!

The positive premonition from the first day of entering the crew continued until the last day. After the crew finished six weeks of filming in San Francisco, they returned to Los Angeles and continued filming at Disney Stage Two, where "Mary Poppins" was filmed, and announced the completion of filming three weeks later.

From newcomers like Anson and Annie to veteran actors led by Julie; from the main creative team led by Gary to the temporary staff of different crews in San Francisco and Los Angeles, everyone worked together, and the entire filming process ended smoothly without encountering any serious problems in a cheerful atmosphere.

Annie was a small surprise.

The crew finally understood the reason why Gary insisted on choosing Annie as the heroine despite everyone's objections. This newcomer, who was acting in a movie for the first time, showed excellent comedic performance ability, and was able to blend elegance and beauty into the role, truly showing the charm of a commoner princess.

Anson was a big surprise.

Originally, Michael was just an insignificant tool person, but he slowly developed his own flesh and blood, not only interacting with Mia, but also making the main and sub-lines of the movie rich and full, which was definitely a development direction that people could have foreseen before the start of filming.

And Julie?

Undoubtedly, she was the biggest surprise.

"Cut!"

When Gary finished filming for the last time and raised his arms and cheered.

"Guys, work ends here."

The entire Stage Two cheered together, with a joyful look. Although the crew's working atmosphere was cheerful this time and the filming was very smooth, what was happier than working was getting off work.

Moreover!

According to the plan, Gary planned a shooting cycle of ten or even eleven weeks, but in the end, the movie was successfully completed in just nine weeks.

This also meant that the holiday was coming early—

No one could refuse a holiday.

Roar, roar, roar!

Ah, ah, ah!

The entire Stage Two was filled with gongs, drums, cheers and laughter, so lively.

But the celebration only lasted for a while, and the staff no longer stayed, leaving the studio in twos and threes, as if getting off work.

Including Anson.

In his previous life, when Anson worked with the crew, if the filming was completed, there would often be a celebration banquet, eating together, drinking together, and celebrating together. It was originally a good thing, but it often evolved into urging people to drink, and finally evolved into not going home until drunk. Socializing quietly became "overtime", even more energy-consuming than the work itself.

However, Hollywood doesn't have this kind of culture. Completion of filming is the end, and the end of the project means the end of the work. There is no need to continue to exchange pleasantries. Turn around and leave to return to life. That's all—

Everything is a business relationship.

Of course, there are also parties. Leaving aside the parties between close members of the crew, when the movie is released, in order to celebrate the movie's final release, there will be a party accompanying the premiere.

So.

After the filming ended, Anson greeted the crew members one by one, and then left.

A little empty.

One second, they were working together to cooperate on a project, and the next second, they turned around and left to return to their daily lives. It always felt like there was a period missing.

However, after getting through the slightly uncomfortable stage, the mood completely relaxed. On the way home from Burbank, there was a sense of release.

Opening the car window, the golden sunlight mixed with the sea breeze came, and the dry air faintly carried a hint of saltiness, but it had a feeling of the vastness of the sea and the sky. The vast view of Los Angeles spread out in front.

His eyes were fixed on the front, and the corner of his eye inadvertently caught some information, which flashed by in an instant, but Anson's mind caught an inspiration.

No sooner said than done.

At the next intersection, he made a U-turn, did not go straight home, but stopped in front of a two-story building, and successfully found a parking space.

Getting out of the car and standing in front of the building, Anson's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement.

First update.
