From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

"What, did your agent complain to you?"

Lucas's face was full of confidence, which made Anson couldn't help but smile.

"Complained. Are you willing to apologize?"

Lucas didn't hesitate for even a second, "No."

Charles retracted his gaze, "Another audition?"

Anson, "No. It's just a project, asking if I'm interested."

Charles sighed softly, "Wow, you have a choice now? You can get roles without auditioning?"

Anson hadn't realized it until Charles said it, "This is the first time." Then, a smile crept onto the corner of his mouth, "How is it? Do you realize I'm a Hollywood superstar?"

Charles still smiled, gently shaking his head with gentlemanly demeanor.

At the same time, Lucas unhesitatingly filled the audio gap left by Charles' absence with a negative, "No. In fact, I completely cannot understand those girls' screams. They need to get their eyes checked."

"Lucas!" Nora, who had been carefully examining Anson, spoke up to reprimand him. Lucas obediently shut his mouth, and then Nora turned to look at Anson again, "Regardless, you are still the same in our eyes."

Anson: Okay, that's reasonable.

He looked at Lucas and retorted without showing any weakness, "If you screamed at me, that would be an American horror story."

Lucas seemed to imagine the scene, and couldn't help but shudder, disgustedly brushing off the goosebumps on his arm.

This scene made Anson laugh happily.

Charles maintained a calm expression throughout, never participating in the topic. At this moment, he seized the opportunity to ask, "Anson, are you really not going to buy a property?"

How many times have Charles and Nora mentioned this matter today?

Anson was slightly stunned, "You guys seem very insistent on me moving today."

Buying a property is just an excuse.

Seeing Nora trying to explain, Charles nodded decisively, "Yes, I don't want you to continue living here."

Anson was stunned that he admitted it so readily.

Nora took a deep breath and returned to her usual efficient work style, "That's right."

"Luca's concerns are correct. You live here without any precautions. Those paparazzi harass you here every day, and you can't get a good rest."

"Now that your career has taken off, it's time to buy a property here and have your own space."

Anson... expressed doubt.

Anson looked at Lucas.

Lucas didn't hide anything, "We are also worried that the Hayden and Brad incident is just the beginning."

"This is the world of fame and fortune. The higher you climb, the fewer friends you have around you, and more and more parasites with ulterior motives try to get close to you."

Lucas noticed that Anson didn't refute, and he realized that his words were a bit harsh. He sighed softly, and the serious, stiff lines of his face relaxed slightly.

"Anson."

"I'm not saying anything about your other two roommates. At least they are still your friends now. What I mean is, your career is getting better and better, but their careers still haven't improved. Living together under the same roof, what do you think they will think?"

"Even if they don't have bad intentions and have never thought of hurting you; but in the dead of night, maybe they themselves don't feel good."

"Maintaining distance is not only protecting yourself, but also protecting friendship."

"You are still friends, and you can even find audition opportunities and performance opportunities for them, but maintaining independent living spaces is good for the continuation of friendship."

"Although it's a pity, this is reality."

Anson remained silent, not responding.

Nora glared at Charles reproachfully, unable to hide her worry. She finally couldn't help but call out, "Anson."

"Mom." Anson stopped Nora.

Taking a deep breath, Anson raised his head to meet his family's concerned gazes.

"I understand. Luca is right, I didn't think clearly."

Perhaps it's cruel, perhaps it's a pity, but Lucas's point of view is correct.

In Anson's eyes, James Franco and Chris Evans are future superstars. They both have glorious achievements in Hollywood. Although James later encountered a complete ban due to the "sex" scandal at the acting school, before that, he and Chris were both Hollywood A-listers.

But that's the future.

At least now, they are still not.

The popularity of "Spider-Man", especially James as the Green Goblin, doesn't have much room to play. He hasn't received much attention in this wave of popularity. Even if James is informal and doesn't seem to care at all, in the long run, more changes may occur.

Of course, there is no need to consider for them, just be selfish and consider for Anson himself, he should also move.

Those involved are confused. Anson has never seen this clearly, and still needs outsiders to remind him.

Gently exhaling a breath, Anson showed a smile.

"It just so happens that you are all here, why not take advantage of the holiday and accompany me to look at houses?"

Although Anson was smiling, Nora could feel the sigh of her youngest son—

The reality of the world of fame and fortune is too cruel after all.

"Lucas!" Nora called out.

Lucas was not unfamiliar at all. He was used to being a scapegoat since he was a child. He lowered his head reflexively, "Sorry."

"Mom, Luca didn't do anything wrong." Anson smiled dumbfounded.

Nora laughed along, "Conditioned reflex, sorry, conditioned reflex." She glanced at Lucas, but finally looked at Anson, "How is it? What are your thoughts? Is there any place you want to live?"

"Beverly Hills?"

"If the funds are not enough, your dad and I can sponsor you."

Before Charles could answer, Lucas said, "Anson's account is with me. If it's not enough, I'll make up the rest."

Noticing the gazes of both parents, Lucas added, "Anson gave some information, and earned some in the past year."

Anson realized after half a beat—

Not only Ashton, but he can also establish his own venture capital company through Lucas, and invest in the companies he likes, which is definitely a sure profit.

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten about me?"

"I'm Spider-Man."

Then.

Anson saw three family members with puzzled expressions. He remembered that they didn't pay attention to the weekly box office, and should be completely unaware of the historic performance of "Spider-Man".

Anson looked at Lucas. When Sony Columbia's salary arrives, Lucas should know.

"The salary for this movie is still waiting to be calculated, but it should be able to exceed ten million."

Originally thought they would be shocked, but unexpectedly Nora turned her head and wiped the corner of her eye.

Charles looked over with a gratified expression, "Our Anson has grown up too, earning his first ten million. Tell me, what gift do you want? You can choose whatever you want."

This was a reaction that Anson had not expected at all, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Charles didn't notice, "Luca, what do you think of Beverly Hills? Isn't the privacy and security there better?"
