From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

From Tobey Maguire to Anson Mount, the current "Spider-Man" has become a completely different work.

Anson is trying to shake off the shadow of his predecessor's image and inject a different color into the film, reinterpreting the character and story in his own way.

Perhaps Anson will succeed and make "Spider-Man" a monumental series in history, redefining the superhero genre in this timeline.

Perhaps Anson will fail regrettably, and "Spider-Man 2" will still be unable to change the law of diminishing returns for sequel films, even worse than Tobey's version in the previous life.

But Anson still wants to try and see—

The real charm of life lies not in success, but in bravely embracing the unknown and exploring more different possibilities.

Therefore.

Anson hopes to truly experience Peter Parker's life in depth, completely immersing himself in the character and feeling the dilemma he faces between reality and ideals.

Then, build the character, build the framework, build the context of the entire performance, and complete the work of the actor.

After all, only by truly experiencing it can one feel the sense of reality with a down-to-earth attitude.

Just like the situation that pizza delivery guy encountered just now, relying solely on imagination can only lead to imagining, but not empathy, and may even lead to condescendingly bossing around, "Why not do this?" "Why not do that?", let alone feeling his frustration and helplessness.

What troubles Peter Parker is not only the balance between school and work, not only the choice between love and justice, but also how to fulfill his responsibilities—

Who is worth saving, and who is not? Which are minor crimes that can be ignored, and which are life-threatening and must be saved? Does this mean that he becomes a judge, a God, judging criminals and saving lives?

Damn it, Peter is just a young man who has just entered college, he doesn't even know where to get the rent for this month, but he needs to think about the profound question of playing God and judging the world?

It is precisely because of this that the pizza delivery guy's chaotic life and pressure are a crucial part of building the character, full of everyday life.

The only regret is that the time is too short, and after all, he didn't fully get down to earth. Anson has no way to truly experience a few days of delivering pizza like the pizza delivery guy.

Anson did not hide his regret, "Perhaps, next time I should reserve some time to prepare for the role in advance. I heard that Daniel Day-Lewis even starts preparing for the role six months in advance, and I think it's worth learning from."

As he spoke, Anson noticed Noah's slightly awkward expression. The chattering conversation was actually his one-man show.

Anson thought for a while, and the corners of his mouth raised, "What you just asked was not about this, right?"

Noah scratched his head. He knew nothing about acting, really.

This honest and simple man didn't bother with polite greetings and said honestly, "I just wanted to ask, the trailer… how does it feel?"

Then, Noah looked at Anson and showed an awkward smile, "Hehe."

Anson couldn't help but laugh and raised his chin slightly, "Perfect."

Looking around, "To be honest, it's a bit too luxurious and completely unaccustomed. I finally understand the feelings of the characters in 'Sunset Boulevard'."

Halfway through his words, Anson noticed Noah's expression and paused, "You haven't seen the movie 'Sunset Boulevard', have you?"

Noah looked well-behaved, "I only know the Sunset Boulevard that connects to Santa Monica Boulevard."

Anson laughed directly.

Noah, "Sorry, I'll watch it when I get back."

Anson waved his hand repeatedly, with a smile on his face, "No, it's okay if you don't watch it. It's just a movie. There's nothing that you have to watch."

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, interrupting the conversation. Anson was a little surprised. He had just arrived at the crew, who would be looking for him, "Is it your friend?"

Noah shook his head left and right repeatedly, like a rattle drum.

Anson shouted, "Come in."

The door opened, and a young man fully equipped appeared in front of him, wearing headphones, holding a walkie-talkie, and carrying a small satchel, like a peddler wandering around the crew, just missing a treasure chest.

"Hey, good morning, Anson, I'm Jack, the stage manager, responsible for the New York set. If there's anything or any situation, you can ask me. Just let Noah tell me, and I'll try my best to satisfy you."

"Wow, we are all looking forward to this work. Filming will definitely be very interesting."

"By the way, there may be a lot of people at the filming location today. Half of New York City has come out to watch us film. Everyone is looking forward to Spider-Man, but you don't need to worry. Our security work is in place, and we will do our best to ensure the smooth progress of the filming."

Crackling, chattering.

The man in front of him stood on the steps at the door of the trailer. Across the three steps, he looked up at Anson as if he were standing in a pit, like a Hobbit.

A series of words spewed out non-stop, not giving Anson any time to interrupt. The loud voice filled the entire trailer.

So, what exactly is going on?

"I'm here just to say hello and see if you have any needs. Is everything okay here? Are there any shortages? Is there anything that needs to be replenished? By the way, the mini fridge is already filled. According to Noah's request, then, what about breakfast? Sandwiches, salads, or something else?"

After speaking, he showed a big smile to Anson and skillfully took out a pen from his ear, ready to use the notebook in his hand.

For some reason, Anson's mind flashed to that gossiping reporter in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". What was that reporter's name?

A smile crept onto the corner of his mouth, and Anson couldn't help but laugh, "No, no need, everything is fine here. I've already had breakfast, but thank you for asking."

"By the way, Sam, I mean the director, where is Sam now? I need to find him."

But that Jack didn't give Anson time to react, and seemed to have completely not heard Anson's words, "You can just wait here, it will only be a moment."

After hesitating for a moment, he still stepped up the stairs into the trailer, although not high, he was no longer a Hobbit. He stood in front of Anson and stretched out his right hand, "Welcome to the crew, I'm really looking forward to this collaboration."

Anson politely completed the handshake and gave him a hug in passing.

That Jack's body stiffened for a moment, which made Anson a little flustered, "Sorry, it's a California habit, I forgot that New York doesn't like this."

Jack shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, it's okay, welcome, I mean, thank you. Whew." He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and turned to leave.

Waiting for the trailer door to close, a cheer came from outside, "Oh yeah! Ah ah ah, ah ah ah!"

Anson looked at the confused Noah, obviously Noah couldn't answer or help.

So, Anson shouted at the door, "Jack, you should know that the soundproofing here is not good, right?"

"Ah." A strange cry, and then a series of small running sounds, and the outside of the trailer returned to silence.

The world, quieted down.
