From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood
#204 - Crossing the River
The rumors became more and more outrageous, more and more exaggerated. As they spread, they became increasingly fantastical, bearing little resemblance to the truth.
However, that is the truth of rumors—
The more outrageous, the more popular; the more outrageous, the more complex the underlying web of interests.
The very existence of these rumors is to obscure the truth and confuse the public; anyway, everyone has a mouth, and there's no cost or consequence to bragging and lying.
Amidst a storm of rumors and controversies, Anson's name remained at the center of the vortex, even becoming a "mischief king," a Thanos-like figure.
After this battle, probably half of Hollywood truly knew this name, whether they believed it or not, or how much they believed, at least they had heard of the name.
However, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is not yet known; only time will tell.
Fortunately, Anson has officially entered Hollywood. This is everyday life in Hollywood. You haven't truly felt the powerful influence of Hollywood's spotlight until you become the center of rumors and gossip. Now Anson finally understands how this arena of fame and fortune operates.
By the way, "Sex and the City's" five nominations resulted in zero wins, even worse than "Friends," encountering complete disregard.
Darren Star wouldn't be happy with this result.
But in fact, after the awards ceremony, Darren was particularly happy, coming to offer Anson his congratulations at the first opportunity, his eyes full of smiles.
"If I had known, I would have had you guest star in our show back then. We gave that guy David an Emmy for nothing, and he hogged all the attention."
From the teasing in his opening remarks, you could tell that Darren was genuinely happy for Anson. Setting aside the power struggles of the fame and fortune arena, Darren sincerely regarded Anson as his own child, and he was even more optimistic about Anson's prospects in Hollywood; even more so than Anson himself, Darren was even happier.
After the awards ceremony, Darren took Anson to meet many top stars, making full use of the Emmy opportunity to open doors for Anson in Hollywood. As a result, they encountered David Crane, who came to intercept them, and then you could see a rare scene: two big-name producers fighting over someone in person.
David believed that Anson represented the "Friends" crew and was indispensable to tonight's party and celebration. He was even looking forward to Anson showing his face everywhere for them.
Darren, however, believed that Anson didn't represent anyone. Tonight, he was just actor Anson, using the Emmy to open doors and start building connections.
The two argued endlessly, and as a result, Aaron Sorkin, who was passing by, complained, "Hey, you two go out and fight it out. Before you two argue to a conclusion, Anson will chat with us here."
Oh, by the way, in addition to "Sports Night," "The West Wing" is also Aaron Sorkin's work. Tonight, he alone won two nominations for Best Writing for a Drama Series, and finally successfully won the trophy. This screenwriter is climbing to the top of Hollywood's pyramid at rocket speed.
If "Sports Night" was just a debut, then "The West Wing" won Aaron Sorkin a place in Hollywood, and things are different now.
But I didn't expect that this rising star, who straddles different fields of comedy and drama, would also notice Anson and join in the fun.
The person involved, Anson, remained calm next to him. Numerous gazes were cast over, and he still said coldly, "Oh, I'm already used to it. This isn't the first time. You know, girls."
In the first half of the sentence, people thought that Anson was saying that the two producers had done this more than once, but the twist in the second half lit up the atmosphere.
The subtext was that it wasn't the first or second time that girls had fought for his attention.
A burst of laughter!
Of course, Darren and David didn't really fight, but things were still resolved properly—
Who says you can only go to one celebration party in one night?
After the Emmy Awards ceremony, the whole of Los Angeles was partying and celebrating. There wasn't just one or two; in the Beverly Hills area alone, there were at least seven parties, and all of them were parties hosted by big-name actors or producers.
No one will only stay at one party.
No one!
At the first opportunity, Anson called Chris Evans and Brad Renfro, and the three of them went to the party together.
Such parties are nominally celebrations, but they also contain countless opportunities.
In Hollywood, a large number of audition opportunities come from such parties.
Whether it's Chris or Brad, they urgently need such opportunities, and Anson doesn't mind being their ticket to entry; even if they don't find a suitable audition opportunity, it's good to make more friends, and it's good to show their faces more in front of producers, screenwriters, and directors.
The group of five, plus Edgar and Eve, first went to Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's new mansion in Beverly Hills, even though Brad Pitt still gave Anson a fake smile; but Jennifer sincerely thanked Anson—
They needed the momentum that Anson created.
To the point that Jennifer was a little embarrassed, repeatedly saying that today's encounter on the red carpet was an accident, and they didn't expect to meet Anson.
Since Jennifer said it was an accident, then it was an accident, and the matter was settled.
Leaving aside Brad Pitt, who treated Anson as a transparent person throughout, Jennifer and Anson's pleasant conversation responded before those negative rumors surfaced:
Regardless of what they say in private, Jennifer and Anson are indeed friends in public.
David Crane and Jennifer Aniston both need to take advantage of the opportunity Anson created tonight to repair their relationship.
After all, they need to continue to cooperate next, and they are a community of interests.
Anson didn't stay at the "America's Sweetheart Couple" mansion for too long. With the help of Edgar and Eve, he dug Chris Evans out of a group of models, and then prevented Brad Renfro from trying to drink a third glass of whiskey. The group then rushed to another party—
The highlight of the night.
Darren sincerely wanted to help Anson, paving the way for Anson's future in Hollywood. Tonight's Emmy Awards were indeed a rare opportunity.
When Eve learned of the location of another party, she unhesitatingly issued an order: go as soon as possible.
The reason is very simple, because the party host is—
"Jeff. Jeff Robinov."
Darren, as the middleman, smiled and was preparing to introduce them, but he didn't expect the other party to not need an introduction at all, and had already taken the lead in introducing himself.
Before them was a large bald man with a kind smile, a burly figure, with typical Eastern European features, tall and strong, with deep features. He couldn't be called handsome, but he could easily leave a deep impression. The kind smile revealed a shrewd taste, and you could immediately think of a Jew—
When people mention Jewish stereotypes, this is what they are talking about.
Fifth update.
