From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

The term "vase" is neutral as a noun, but often considered derogatory as an adjective.

Anson didn't agree with this.

If you can rely on your looks, why bother with strength?

There's no need, truly no need.

"Ha." Jennifer's expression relaxed, but she paused, noticing Anson's expression, "Oh, you're serious. I thought you were joking."

Anson shrugged lightly, "Honestly, appearance anxiety is Hollywood's middle name. How many people don't face that struggle? Well, there are two here, and there's one at your house."

One second, two seconds—

After a slight pause, Jennifer burst into genuine laughter.

Actually, such words, tone, and expression are not easy to grasp. A little insecurity makes you seem sleazy, a little too much confidence makes you seem greasy, thinking you're humorous but not funny at all.

However, Anson's everything was just right.

Bright eyes, calm expression, light tone, perfect, the effect was immediate.

"Haha." Jennifer's expression completely relaxed, and she proactively extended her right hand to introduce herself, "Jennifer Aniston."

"Wood. Anson Wood." Anson shook Jennifer's right hand, showing a smile.

Jennifer immediately understood, "Are you imitating James Bond?"

Anson smiled without speaking.

Jennifer nodded slightly, "That's a good idea, you should use it in your performance later."

Before she could finish speaking, another commotion came from behind.

Jennifer gave Anson an apologetic look, turned her head, and then saw her little partners who were peeking and watching the excitement in the crowd—

"Courteney! Lisa! Aren't you going to come over and welcome today's guest star?"

Like a whirlwind, they appeared in front of Anson, greeting and exchanging pleasantries.

Then, like a whirlwind again, they pulled Jennifer around, said goodbye, and left.

However, the rustling, giggling discussion couldn't stop at all. As soon as they turned around, a burst of laughter erupted from their whispers, filled with ambiguity and excitement, like high school students screaming.

The filming hadn't even started yet, but the studio was already warmed up.

Gradually, all the crew members were in place and entered work mode.

Before the audience entered, the crew needed to do basic rehearsals. The actors needed to familiarize themselves with the placement of the cameras and their own movement routes, and simply go through the script process to familiarize themselves with the whole scene.

This was simple for the regular cast and crew of "Friends". It was done every week, it was routine.

And Anson didn't need to worry—

The crew knew that guest stars might be a little unfamiliar, so they would arrange for dedicated staff to help the actors sort out the context and enter the filming situation.

"Later, in the third scene, wait for the signal, you push the door open and enter the coffee shop. Ross's position is diagonally facing the door. The camera captures the empty space between Ross and the door from a forty-five-degree angle. You need to fill in."

"Note that you should turn sideways so that the camera can capture your profile and eyes."

The filming of sitcoms is relatively simple. There are several fixed camera positions in the studio. The actors only need to understand the positions and confirm the positions of the actors in the scene to ensure they enter the frame, which is enough.

Although Anson had no filming experience, he had at least seen pigs run even if he hadn't eaten pork. Observing and participating in crew work were valuable experiences.

He understood at a glance.

The staff member responsible for communicating with Anson was a little worried at first. He was a newbie and a pretty face, and it might take some effort to communicate and explain. However, he didn't expect Anson to understand everything and master the situation immediately.

Even more professional than him.

That young man: ???

Just then, a burly figure approached, bumping Anson with his shoulder, "Yo, did you hear? There's a pretty face on set today."

"Courteney and Lisa are chattering like tenth-grade girls. Matthew is about to be annoyed to death by them. Everyone is looking forward to this pretty face making a brilliant appearance and showing off his charm, haha."

Anson nodded slightly, "Of course, the whole studio is talking about it."

The other person still didn't notice anything unusual, "I also heard that David and Marta came to the studio in person to watch the filming. How long has it been since they came to the set? Jesus Christ, I can't even remember."

Anson looked serious, "They came when Reese came, right?"

Reese Witherspoon, although she didn't become popular until "Legally Blonde" in 2001, and then reached the peak of her career by winning the Oscar for Best Actress for "Walk the Line" in 2006, the huge success of "Election" last year in 2000 also brought her into the public eye.

So, earlier in the sixth season, Reese also appeared as a guest star in two episodes, playing Rachel's sister, and received good reviews.

The other person: … …

Slightly stunned, he looked at Anson with a confused face, "Did they come then? Wait, you're not David, where did Ross go?"

After a bunch of nonsense, Matt LeBlanc finally saw the face in front of him and asked a soul-searching question, "Who are you?"

Just now, Anson had met and greeted all the main actors of the crew. The only one missing was Matt, who played Joey. He needed to solve a pressing issue and rushed to the bathroom as soon as he arrived at the studio.

Anson politely extended his right hand, "Hey, Matt, Anson."

Matt paused, "You, you wouldn't be that... that..."

Anson nodded slightly, "Yes, I'm that pretty face."

Matt: … …

A pause.

Then, "Ah", Matt let out a strange cry and turned to flee, his expression like the terrified killer's mask in "Scream", leaving only Anson and that young man looking at each other.

The young man showed an awkward but polite smile, trying to explain, "He..." but after opening his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

Anson, "Authentic."

The young man nodded repeatedly, "Authentic."

Anson's lips curled up, "You were just talking about positioning?"

Now, rumors are flying all over the studio. Although no words have reached his ears, those eyes, those smiles, those whispers when passing by are already clear enough. They are all looking forward to:

A pretty face's "brilliant appearance".

Even big shots like David Crane and Marta Kauffman came to the scene, looking forward to a good show.

Anson thought, he couldn't let them down. How could he let those gazes, those eyes, those discussions be "disappointed"?

You know, he's a good person, really.
