Chatty Hollywood

"Alexis!?"

Charlize was stunned for a moment, and then realized,

"Every time I "die", she becomes a little stronger. It seems that some of the vitality you mentioned has been transferred to her."

Yes, this was the original purpose of Charlotte and Charlize filming "Happy Death Day"——

The large amount of life force taken from the ghost tiger is transferred to Alexis who possesses Charlize.

"However, Alexis said that at this speed, I'm afraid she won't be able to receive much life force after the entire movie is shot. Isn't this wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it actually."

Charlotte smiled;

"When the movie is actually released, the transfer of vitality can be truly completed through the magic generated by the emotions of a large number of viewers after watching the movie. Now, because only a small number of people on the crew have seen it, naturally only a very small amount of vitality can be transferred."

"Okay, that's fine."

After saying that, Sally moved her body, which was a little numb from hanging for a while, and walked aside to rest.

After all, it is still shooting time, and there are some things that are not convenient to talk about yet.

Of course, there are things that are convenient to talk about——

"Jodie Foster called and said she will be joining the cast in two days. Do we need to make any preparations?"

Lao Qiang asked.

"There's nothing to prepare for, right?"

Charlotte thought for a while,

"The role she played as a guest star actually didn't appear in many scenes. The script has been rewritten based on her characteristics, and the rest are just some styling issues."

"The issue of makeup and styling can only be studied in detail after the actors are really in place."

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded, looking at the old gun on the side with a smirk on her face,

"But, Lao Qiang, you have "understood" a lot about makeup issues recently!"

"...Aren't you "studying" the heroine every day?"

Lao Qiang retorted.

——Okay, since we are not serious people, let’s not hurt each other.

**********

In fact, with Jodie Foster, Charlotte's worries weren't about acting at all.

In the evening, after the shooting, he studied the pocket with the painting in his hotel room.

"Is this thing moving more and more frequently?"

On the side, the curious Charlize was also watching.

"It's normal for the frequency of movement to increase."

Charlotte was not surprised at all.

"Because "Blair Witch" is released!"

——Yes, after more than a month of promotion as a real event, "The Blair Witch Project" has finally been released.

The shooting time of this mockumentary film is actually very short. If a film like "Happy Death Day" takes two to three months to shoot, then "Blair Witch" only takes three days to shoot.

Jodie Foster's "Egg" company directly intervened in the distribution this time.

Although the current Internet influence is not enough and it is a bit difficult to do viral marketing, they still use many means to promote it.

Even, in order to make the audience believe that this is really a video of a real incident, Jodie Foster deliberately asked the main creative staff, including director Daniel Myrick, to hide.

"Does she want everyone to think that those people really died while filming the documentary?"

Faced with Charlize's question, Charlotte nodded.

However, Charlotte didn't know whether she should sympathize with Daniel Merrick because she couldn't even attend the premiere of the movie she directed.

Perhaps, this is the price of becoming famous through some abnormal means!

Thinking about those celebrities who became famous for their bold exposure in movies, Charlotte felt that the world was fair.

"It's just that although fairness will never be absent, it will always be late!"

Charlotte sighed,

"They only shot a movie for three days, and the first-day box office was no worse than "The Turn", which we had been working on for several months. I felt really bad."

——Perhaps it is because of the sufficient early publicity, or perhaps everyone is here for the name of "real events". In short, the box office of "Blair Witch" on the first day after its release was indeed good, not even better than that of "Fatal Turn" How much less.

This actually made Charlotte feel a little uncomfortable.

And Charlize is still adding insult to injury,

"Didn't you recommend Judy to invest in "The Blair Witch Project"?"

Perhaps because he had gained some experience playing the bitchy character Cui recently, Charlize rolled her eyes in a very Bi Chi way.

"Why, do you regret it now?"

"That's not true."

Charlotte shrugged.

"I just lamented the importance of a correct publicity strategy. Besides, their box office dropped immediately the next day."

Yes, "Blair Witch"'s next-day box office drop was huge.

After all, although the American audience in 1994 was relatively young, simple, silly, and sweet, they were still intelligent.

As soon as "Blair Witch" came out, most people knew what was going on. Although driven by curiosity, many people will still go to see it, but the word-of-mouth reviews after reading it are...

"A movie without a good reputation from the audience may be popular for a while, but it will be difficult for it to remain popular for a long time!"

It's just that "Blair Witch" was originally the kind of movie that earned one vote and ran away. Now that you have made money, nothing else matters.

In contrast, Charlotte was more concerned about the painting skin.

"It was previously speculated how much connection Jodie Foster has with the evil god who created the painted skin, but now it can be confirmed."

He pointed at the leather bag that was not moving at the moment.

"Since the release of "Blair Witch", it can be clearly seen that the frequency of the struggle of the painting in it has become faster and the power of struggle has become stronger."

"Does that mean the evil god's power has also become stronger?"

Charlize remembered Charlotte’s previous inference,

"That is to say——"

"The connection between Judy and the Evil One is strong."

Charlotte nodded,

"Otherwise, even if the evil god can borrow the magic power that has been accumulated for a long time in "The Silence of the Lambs", he will never be able to borrow the new magic power brought by "The Blair Witch Project"——"

"After all, Judy did not appear in the movie. She was the producer behind the scenes. Therefore, the human leather book was probably in Judy's hands at that time."

"Does that mean Judy will become an enemy..."

Charlize was worried.

"That won't happen."

Charlotte waved her hand,

"Judging from the current signs, she is more likely to be deceived by the evil god. And since she is unwilling to hand over the human-skin book, the book should be a prop to confuse her."

"Then why don't we just find a way to get that book out?"

Charlize expressed what she had always wondered,

"This should be a lot easier than making a movie, right?"

"Because the evil god had already left his sleeping state when the painting skin first appeared."

Charlotte sighed;

"Only when the gods are asleep or sealed, the props they inhabit have the meaning of controlling them. Once activated, those props become pure media."

"That means it's useless to get the human skin book now?"

"Yes."

Charlotte spread her hands,

"Getting that book will do nothing to eliminate the paintings and the evil god behind them. It will also anger Jodie Foster and make her more inclined to the evil god."

"All right."

Charlize smiled bitterly,

"It seems that I still have to act with Judy! Facing a double Oscar winner, the pressure is a bit high..."

"Don't worry, I will help you!"
