From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Then, who is that?

It would be an exaggeration to say that entertainment reporters don't recognize Anson at all; but the Emmy Awards ceremony was eleven months ago, and Anson is a newcomer. During the "Princess Diaries" promotion, Anson wasn't the main focus, so it's normal for a small portion of the media to be confused for a moment, vaguely remembering his face but unable to recall his name.

His brain hasn't awakened the memory yet, but the action of pressing the shutter is exceptionally swift, and the overwhelming flash of lights completely engulfs that figure.

Then — —

"Anson!"

A call, followed by several more shouts.

"Anson, Anson!"

Memory, just like that, awakens.

So, this is Anson, who caused countless discussions at last year's Emmy Awards. After disappearing for more than half a year, he has become a movie lead?

It was mentioned before.

In the North American market, there is an invisible barrier between television actors and movie actors. Although many television actors appear in movies, very few can truly reach the first tier or even the top.

As of now, there are only Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith; maybe George Clooney counts as half, and in the future, Jennifer Aniston could be added.

That's probably it.

Now, after a cameo appearance in "Friends", Anson has become a movie lead in one step. Even if he's not the main character, it's already very rare.

In an instant, the reporters at the scene pressed the shutter more swiftly.

Click, click, click, click, click.

In the overwhelming silver flashes, Anson stopped moving forward, searching for the source of that voice amidst the noisy screams.

Then, he found it.

Anson started walking, striding forward.

Huh!

While shouting, the voice got stuck in her throat.

Gloria stared, both excited and nervous, joyful and uneasy. The mixed emotions intertwined and collided, turning into the beating of her heart, hitting her eardrums hard, again and again.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Anson, just like that, appeared before her eyes.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, the golden sunlight dimmed, and the sounds of the crowd faded away. Gloria's eyes, heart, and mind were only filled with the figure in front of her.

"Hey, Gloria."

Gloria blinked her eyes. At this time, she had completely lost her ability to react. What did Anson just say? Anson actually remembered her name? Was Anson calling her?

Anson was slightly stunned when he didn't receive a response.

"Sorry, did I misremember the name? If that's the case…"

Gloria waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no… It's… I mean, you didn't misremember, I'm Gloria, Gloria Preston."

She said a bunch of incoherent words.

Gloria could hardly breathe.

"You, you still remember me?"

Anson's smile bloomed again, "Of course, you were the first audience member to ask me my name, how could I forget? I'm very happy to see you here today, I'm glad you didn't forget me."

Gloria's cheeks flushed slightly. She could feel herself completely bathed in Anson's gaze, with nowhere to escape. Her wildly beating heart turned into a roaring tide on her eardrums, engulfing her. She felt shy and wanted to escape, but she couldn't move, not even her neck. She was just wrapped in Anson's smile — —

Falling, slowly falling.

The world, just like that, froze at this moment.

Anson didn't notice this detail, "Thank you very much for coming, I hope you will like 'The Princess Diaries'."

Gloria's brain, like漿糊, finally reacted reflexively, and she nodded quickly, "I like it, I will 100% like it."

"Haha." Anson laughed heartily, "Even if you don't like it, you say you like it, I agree with this spirit. But I am sincere, I hope you will like it."

Rustle, rustle.

Rustle, rustle.

The air was filled with restlessness and joy. From the gazes, you could feel the burning enthusiasm, like the summer sun falling on Anson's skin, almost about to burn.

Anson noticed — —

He turned his head, looked around, gave a smile, and met those gazes.

"Ah!"

In an instant, like gasoline poured on a spark, a raging fire burst out, and the whole world instantly exploded, releasing incredible energy, which made the smile on Anson's lips rise a little more.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Lost reason, lost control.

Ilene felt like her soul was out of her body, standing in place in a daze, swaying with the turbulent waves, trying to call Anson but unable to open her mouth. The voice surged deep in her throat, but she couldn't make it out.

Inadvertently, Anson's gaze looked over.

Their eyes collided, and they met face to face.

Ilene held her breath.

Anson looked at the girl in front of him, who was staring at him like a rabbit, and smiled, nodding slightly in greeting.

Thump.

Ilene could clearly hear the echo of her heart skipping a beat.

Anson had already looked at Gloria again, "Enjoy the movie, be careful on the way home tonight." Then he turned and strode away, his slender legs already far away in the blink of an eye.

"I will." Gloria shouted at that back view. Only at this time did she realize that she was trembling all over, trembling badly.

Nervous. Excited. Elated. Happy.

Even, there was a little fear, unable to distinguish whether it was the fear of worrying that everything was a dream, or the fear of being too close to the sun.

But, her body just couldn't stop trembling.

This was a brand new experience, an experience she had never had before.

However, she was unable to extricate herself from that clear and real emotion, like drowning.

"Gloria…"

"Gloria!"

The voice of calling came from far and near, Gloria finally woke up, looked up, and then saw Ilene's face full of worry, using her eyes to confirm her situation.

Gloria didn't know how to explain her current state. She was fine, just purely… too excited, like the state after drinking ten bottles of Red Bull in a row and all the adrenaline exploding.

However, looking at Ilene, she unexpectedly discovered — —

Ilene was the same.

Unable to control the trembling, her pupils were a little dazed, but she couldn't hide the happiness, joy, and excitement. Her blank brain finally gradually recovered.

Gradually, the sense of reality finally dragged her body back to the ground.

Not only Ilene, but a large circle of gazes around her were all cast on Gloria, the excitement and happiness in the envy falling down like a torrential rain.

Then.

"Ah!"

Gloria and Ilene shouted at the same time, face to face.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

At this moment, what could be a better way to release than screaming?

No.

One, two, three, four, five, in an instant, screams spread throughout the audience.

The rolling tide pushed the atmosphere of the El Capitan Theatre to its peak.

Moreover, there was no end in sight, just losing control step by step, a most primitive, purest, and most enthusiastic emotion igniting Hollywood Boulevard.

The feast, begins.
