From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Christmas, a time for family reunions once a year, is also the moment when children eagerly await Santa Claus to fulfill the wishes of good children.

Some say that the moment you realize Santa Claus doesn't exist is also when you say goodbye to childhood. Therefore, some people's childhood ends at the age of seven, while others still haven't bid farewell to childhood even at thirty.

After growing up, one no longer believes in Santa Claus, nor in Christmas gifts.

This seems to be a part of the countless bitterness and troubles that make up the adult world.

However!

This Christmas is slightly different—

Santa Claus, in different images and incarnations, presents a Christmas gift to adults, turning the Christmas miracle into reality as if by magic.

First stop, Las Vegas.

"No one told me, and there was no news beforehand. I just wanted to leave home for two hours. I was being driven crazy by the kids at home, so I went to the cinema to watch 'Catch Me If You Can,' which I had been longing to see."

"I thought he was... okay."

"But, I think I was blind before, hahaha, completely blind."

"I just wanted to go to the cinema to pass the time. My brother and I, he wanted to watch 'The Lord of the Rings,' and I wanted to watch 'Harry Potter.' In the end, we compromised and chose 'Catch Me If You Can,' but we didn't expect to encounter such a surprise."

"Yes, the moment Anson appeared, I felt like my heart was about to explode."

"Jesus Christ, he seemed to walk straight out of the big screen. He is definitely the most charming man I have ever seen in my life."

"Including my brother, he was also dumbfounded. He was like a brainless idiot, screaming at Anson. God, I really wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground, but when Anson looked over, I didn't want to leave anymore, haha, hahaha, I'm just such a fickle woman."

"I must admit that there is still a difference between the real person and the screen. Even the big screen can't capture Anson's charm. It really makes people unable to take their eyes off him."

"God, I think of him again at this moment, I'm going to blush..."

Third stop, Portland.

"No, no, no, I didn't expect it at all."

"Oregon? Shut up."

"I never thought that a film crew would choose to come to Portland, Oregon, for promotion. This should be the first time in my memory."

"So, you can imagine that when Anson appeared in front of us, the scene was a bit chaotic."

"In fact, at first, no one believed it at all. Some people were still leaving, hahaha, and some people said that he might be an actor from 'SNL' specifically imitating Anson, but then they realized that no one could imitate Anson."

"Please, it's easy to imitate weird people, but imitating handsome men and beautiful women is an impossible task. In this regard, God is selfish."

"And then?"

"And then we went crazy. I bet Anson hasn't seen such a scene in other cities. We tried our best to make sure Anson would never forget Portland, as for whether he wants to come back to Portland is another matter."

"I've lived in Portland my whole life and have never seen such a scene. I mean, not just women, a group of men also roared as if they were burning their lives, even louder than the women's screams. That scene... you can imagine it. I'm not sure what Anson saw in his eyes, but I was deeply shocked anyway."

"How do I feel now? Grateful, very, very grateful."

"No one remembers Portland, but Anson is willing to share this opportunity with Portland. I believe in Christmas miracles again now. Anson is Santa Claus."

Fourth stop, Seattle.

"Ah, ah ah, ah ah!"

"The movie, of course, I'm screaming for the movie. How crazy of a movie fan would I be to choose to come to see a movie after finishing dinner on Christmas Day."

"But."

"Ah ah ah, Anson, who can refuse Anson? Anson is definitely the best and most precious thing that has happened in all my Christmases."

"In fact, I like 'Catch Me If You Can,' haha, I know no one will discuss the movie; but Spielberg has done an excellent job this time. It is undoubtedly a pleasure to choose to watch such a movie on Christmas."

"However, Anson is irreplaceable, really."

"The point is precisely here. Even if Anson only showed up to greet us and interact with us, it would already be an unforgettable experience; but not only that, Anson chatted with us about the movie and even interviewed us about our Christmas feelings. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and joyful."

"I've heard rumors about Anson, of course, everyone says he has a charming temperament. Tonight, I finally understand why everyone says that."

"Oh, I like his role in the movie, but there is no doubt that I like him more in person."

"'Spider-Man' didn't move me, but this time 'Catch Me If You Can' really jumped repeatedly in my personal aesthetics. I think I am willing to go to the cinema for Anson."

Lively, noisy, a grand spectacle all the way—

Starting from Los Angeles in the south, along the West Coast, Anson took a private plane on Christmas Day to carry out a busy schedule, appearing in five cities to launch a surprise appearance event.

Such an ingenious and novel promotion stunned the entire Hollywood, immediately attracting the attention of Fox Television.

This summer, Fox Television firmly locked in Anson and tasted the sweetness. This time, they did not hesitate at all and immediately decided to follow up with interviews.

Even during the Christmas holiday, they still reacted immediately, not only mobilizing the resident teams in each city to go to the cinemas where the surprise events were held to conduct interviews, looking back, presenting, and displaying from the perspective of the parties involved; but also specially sending another team to follow Anson all the way, recording the entire process of DreamWorks' unconventional film promotion in the form of a documentary.

To this, DreamWorks raised both hands and feet in agreement. They had even attracted the attention of the publicity platform for free without contacting the TV station—

Nothing could be better.

Thus.

The above scene appeared. Anson had just visited the cinema to create a surprise event, and Fox Television followed up with interviews, delivering immediate reports to the audience on December 26th.

Although it is not comparable to the synchronous hot spots of the Internet age, it is already close, showing a speed of news in the present day of 2002.

Unsurprisingly, "Catch Me If You Can" effortlessly became the undisputed number one hit of this Christmas holiday, spreading like wildfire throughout the North American continent, and the heat is still rising!
