From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Can you imagine?

Not long ago, Anson was labeled as a model because of Paris Fashion Week, but "blessed by misfortune," he transformed into an actor who was too immersed in the role and couldn't separate himself from the character.

This gorgeous one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn caught everyone off guard, and Hollywood was littered with broken glasses.

In fact, if it were just the crew's publicity, film critics' praise, or media promotion, such "advertising" would be too heavy-handed and difficult to impress the audience.

Everyone is not a fool and can see that this is a publicity stunt.

However, this is not the case now.

The entire story, from a negative news item to an accident and then to the truth being revealed, is completely different, and the persuasiveness is perfect.

People are willing to buy it.

Moreover, even if some people are still vigilant and do not believe that Anson is really too immersed in the role and that everything is just a crew publicity routine, at least they have quietly instilled an idea, an impression:

Versatile.

In a short period of time, Anson has caused heated discussions in both the fashion and acting worlds.

Whether people buy it or not, the impression has already quietly left a mark in their minds, and then, waiting for the arrival of spring one day—

Rooting, sprouting, and growing strong.

I have to say, Edgar's move is brilliant!

Then.

Let's pull the timeline back to the present.

Faced with Chris and Brad's concerns, Anson didn't know where to start, because the whole plan was too complicated and involved too much.

Any mistake in any link could deviate from the track and lead to complete failure.

So, how should he explain it?

Anson chose the simplest and most direct way:

Paparazzi.

Obviously, things are not that simple.

Some paparazzi returned to New York to dig deeper, and some started with eyewitnesses at the scene.

They quickly realized that the investigation had been completed, and the witnesses had been protected in advance, indicating that things were not simple.

One or two people can detect the anomaly, so they gave up Anson as a "pawn" and surrounded Steven and Tom.

No one believed that Anson had the ability to complete these arrangements, and they should still aim at the big shots.

As a result, Anson was left in peace.

In the first half, Chris's face was still full of tension, but he never expected the turn in the second half, and immediately raised his right hand, erecting his middle finger in response.

"Haha."

Anson laughed happily, and then made a small joke, "Do you guys also have secrets?

Your faces were serious just now, looking much more serious than mine.

What's wrong, is Los Angeles entering a drought again?"

Los Angeles is surrounded by desert, with no rain at all, and you also need to be careful of wildfires.

After more than seven months without rain last year, every household needed to save water, but in October there was still a small wildfire, which was finally relieved by a timely rain in December.

This year, the weather forecast in Los Angeles is still not optimistic, and people are worried about drought.

If it is true, it is indeed very serious, not only will daily life be affected, but the filming costs of major crews will also increase, and "Catch Me If You Can's" cash flow may face severe challenges again.

Of course, Anson is also worried.

The so-called joke is mainly to ridicule that Brad and Chris should not be paying attention to the drought issue, and that other worries are dwarfed by natural disasters.

Chris immediately heard it, "Ha, ha, very funny.

No, we are not worried about the destruction of the Earth, we are just worried about Hayden."

Anson was stunned, "Hayden?"

Brad shifted his gaze slightly irritably, revealing a hint of impatience, obviously unwilling to say more.

Chris opened his mouth to explain, "Hayden left."

"What do you mean Hayden left?

That's nonsensical."

"Don't you know?

Hayden moved out without saying a word to anyone."

Anson: … …

"Huh?"

Honestly, Anson really didn't expect such a turn.

Anson recalled, "No, Hayden's rent for this month has also been paid.

I remember there was a transfer record."

He habitually took out his phone, but realized half a beat later that the brick phone he had now had no way to check bank records, and the movement froze there.

Chris shook his head, "His room is empty, nothing left."

Anson frowned and quickly walked to Hayden's room.

He pushed the door open and saw that Chris was not lying—

Completely empty.

Only an empty bed frame and two desks were left, which were the original furniture of the house, integrated with the classical and elegant decoration.

Anson was covered in black lines, "That mattress is also the original furniture of the landlord."

Chris was speechless.

Brad understood Anson's complaint and burst out laughing.

Chris, "Hey, you guys!

Hayden left, we don't even know what happened, and you're still joking!'

Brad waved his hand indifferently, "Hayden is already an adult, we don't need to worry about him; besides, he packed all his luggage himself, it doesn't look like a kidnapping or fleeing from guilt."

Chris choked on his breath, "But why did he disappear without saying a word?

Anson, did Hayden tell you about leaving?'

Anson shook his head.

Chris, "Right, Brad and I don't know either.

I just asked James, and he doesn't know either, although I suspect that guy is high on something now and is unconscious, but I guess Hayden wouldn't tell him either."

"Tch."

Brad raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of disdain and contempt, "Things are not that complicated.

I guess it's just that 'Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace' is about to be released, and Hayden thinks he's going to be successful, and he doesn't need us nameless friends anymore, worried that I'll cling to him and蹭热度, so he took the first step to sever ties."

Chris didn't believe it, "Brad!

Hayden is not that kind of person."

Brad didn't show any weakness, "Before he became famous, he naturally wasn't that kind of person; but what about after he becomes famous?

Even he himself doesn't know what he will evolve into.

Wake up, we are standing in Hollywood, the most realistic, most cold-blooded, and most cruel place in the world, not Disneyland."

Chris choked up, his face stubborn, trying to refute but not knowing how to open his mouth.

Then, Anson spoke, "Hayden is not that kind of person."

Brad glared at Anson.

Anson looked back calmly, "He's not.

But his agent may not be."

"Hayden is an idiot, his agent knows what will happen after the movie is released.

This is a movie that is destined not to fail, unlike my and James's 'Spider-Man', there are indeed many media outlets that predict that the movie's box office will not make a splash, which also means that Hayden may be exploited."

"To be more precise, exploited by me and James, using Hayden to promote 'Spider-Man'."

Anson's face was calm, after all, the only ones who needed large-scale publicity resources here were him and James.

Although they are also the leading actors in top productions, they may become Hayden's help; but they may also become Hayden's competitors.

This is a math problem.
