From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

The studio was a hive of activity. Even after a full day of work, from sunrise to late at night, everyone was tired and exhausted, dizzy, and their ears were ringing. But the work was still not finished, and they had to cheer up and continue toiling with heavy steps.

Creak.

The studio door slowly pushed open, and a head peeked in, looking around. Then, it turned to look behind, asking with a wry smile.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

"Did you see the photos? If you saw them, then this is it."

After some rustling discussion, two figures pushed the door open one after the other, standing far away at the entrance, observing for a while at a distance, until their presence finally caught the attention of the staff on site. Then, they saw the figure coming towards them and both smiled.

"Anna…"

When they saw Anna Wintour, not only were they not nervous, but they also enthusiastically opened their arms to give Anna a hug—

Although Anna refused with a look of disgust, not hugging, maintaining a polite distance, she still completed the cheek kiss and muttered a complaint.

"Did you have to choose this time? After working all day, with oily faces and sweaty bodies. God, I feel like a homeless person right now. I shouldn't be seen by anyone."

The rambling complaints still carried a capable air, and the familiarity in the words flowed naturally. No introduction was needed to feel the closeness between them.

Edgar noticed Anna's actions and glanced over subconsciously. All the studio lights were focused on the set, so the other corners were slightly dim. He couldn't see clearly for a moment. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he noticed the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in the air and looked again.

Wait… wait!

Edgar was struck by lightning, completely stunned in place, his mind racing. He didn't expect to see these two big shots here.

The light was slightly dim, but Edgar was sure he wasn't seeing things.

So, why would Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks be in Paris, and at a "Fashion" magazine photoshoot?

In Hollywood, people may not recognize Anna Wintour, but they definitely couldn't not recognize these two top figures at the apex.

Steven Spielberg, one of the four major directors of the Hollywood eighties, is as famous as Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola.

From the "Indiana Jones" series to the "Jurassic Park" series, from "Schindler's List" to "Saving Private Ryan", sweeping box offices and awards, he is undoubtedly one of the most popular and acclaimed legendary directors today.

And Tom Hanks, one of Hollywood's legendary two "Toms," the other being Tom Cruise, but this Hanks is even more impressive. "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump" made him the second actor in film history to win consecutive Oscars for Best Actor. Beyond the awards, this actor swept the box office with movies such as "Sleepless in Seattle", "Cast Away", and "Apollo 13", among others.

It is worth mentioning that Tom Hanks served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild for a long time, tirelessly fighting for the rights of actors. He is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious and influential figures in the entire actors' union.

So, what happened when Steven Spielberg met Tom Hanks?

"Saving Private Ryan."

Interestingly, the two big shots didn't collaborate until 1998 with "Saving Private Ryan", but this beginning marked the birth of a golden partnership.

Just last month, the HBO series "Band of Brothers", jointly produced by Steven and Tom, once again aroused widespread praise throughout the industry.

This series is known as the most expensive work in Hollywood history, with production costs comparable to a movie; but as soon as the series aired, it successfully ignited word-of-mouth and ratings, undoubtedly becoming the most important and wonderful work of the month, with the heat of discussion strongly breaking out of the circle and continuing to climb.

Steven and Tom's resumes go far beyond this. From the seventies to the twenty-first century, thirty years have passed, and they still stand at the top of the pyramid, and there is no sign of decline. They are still expanding their influence.

Anyone who sees these two big shots cannot take them lightly. No one wants to miss the opportunity, but the question is—

Here?

Are you sure?

Because the two big shots are very pure filmmakers, rarely crossing borders, and have nothing to do with fashion. Not to mention shooting fashion blockbusters, even the opportunity to be interviewed by "Fashion" magazine is rare.

After all, the tone is a bit strange.

Occasionally, when their works enter the publicity period, there may be interviews with "Fashion" magazine, but those who enter the "Fashion" cover and inside pages are often not themselves.

So, their appearance here makes the whole situation particularly bizarre.

Of course, there is no doubt that Steven and Tom definitely know Anna, and judging from Anna's attitude, their private relationship must be good, but this still cannot explain the reason for the appearance of the two big shots.

Edgar had many question marks in his mind at this time, but he couldn't get answers.

Could it be… for Anson?

Edgar calmed down and thought carefully. This is indeed a possibility; but after thinking it over, Edgar denied this guess, because there were no rumors in the industry, not even a hint of it.

Moreover, to take a step back, assuming that Steven and Tom are indeed interested in Anson and hope to collaborate on a work, they only need a phone call, and Edgar will adjust the schedule, and no matter what, he will let Anson meet with the two big shots. How could it be necessary for the two big shots to come to Paris?

Calming down and analyzing from different angles, Edgar remained rational. Anson should not be the target of Steven and Tom's trip.

But, that's even better.

Because that also means, opportunity.

An opportunity for Anson to appear in front of the two big shots, a golden opportunity.

Edgar's brain started running quickly. He couldn't appear too active or proactive. There were no less than ten thousand people in Hollywood trying to curry favor with these two big shots. Being too flattering might not leave an impression; but he also couldn't appear too passive or negative, looking like he was untainted by the world. The two big shots wouldn't take the initiative to understand the situation.

Opportunity, since it appears, there is naturally no reason to miss it.

Taking a deep breath, Edgar had already sorted out his thoughts.

However, Edgar did not step forward immediately, withdrawing his gaze and continuing to look at Anson—

The better the opportunity, the more it requires calmness and planning. You can't rush forward recklessly without a plan. In the blink of an eye, Edgar had already entered a battle state.
