Chatty Hollywood

Lao Qiang's invitation to actors went smoothly.

Both Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino agreed smoothly.

——Although, according to their schedule, it may not be possible to join the crew until around December.

However, the preliminary preparation for "Hell Detective" originally took a lot of time, so this is not really a delay.

Jodie Foster, on the other hand, not only readily agreed to star, but also called Charlotte specifically to ask about the script.

——Obviously, the movie queen not only wants to star, but also wants to invest.

Charlotte didn't object.

——He needs to raise some of the insufficient funds anyway!

In short, compared to Charlotte's somewhat difficult second version of the script, the recruitment of actors went very smoothly.

Even Alexis became somewhat interested after reading the script that Charlotte was revising.

"Can you give me the role of this angel?"

Seeing where Miss Valkyrie was pointing, Charlotte realized that she was actually referring to the boss behind the original plan——

Gabriel!

In the original Hellraiser, this character was played by Tilda Swinton.

Tilda Swinton is a very special actress among Hollywood actresses.

Other actresses, except for actresses such as Melissa McCarthy who specialize in comedy, most have their own styles——

The entire Hollywood is like a huge greenhouse in which all kinds of "flowers" are cultivated.

Cool, noble, charming, friendly, evil... all kinds of types, including those who are as graceful as fairies, and some who are typical girls next door, and there are many sexy beauties.

However, those with strong temperaments and both male and female aesthetics, or neutral aesthetics, are very rare.

Because the degree of this is difficult to grasp.

If you are not careful, you will become a "pure man".

For example, Hilary Swank, the "Hairy Man", is a typical example of someone who has played too many tomboyish roles, resulting in her being unable to suppress her "purely masculine" aura.

In contrast, Cate Blanchett, who became famous for her role in "Elizabeth" and will be Her Majesty the Elf Queen in the future "Lord of the Rings", combines tough temperament with feminine beauty very well.

However, her beauty is still more feminine after all, but due to her strong aura, most people are not aware of it.

Tilda Swinton, on the other hand, does not have such a strong aura. Her overall feeling is more ethereal and her temperament is more neutral.

This makes her acting career very narrow, but this kind of temperament fits the original definition of "angel"——

After all, according to Christianity, angels are asexual...

In short, the angel Gabriel played by Tilda Swinton can be said to be one of the most successful characters in the original "Hell Detective".

And now, Alexis wants to play this role?

"Are you sure you can play such a neutral character?"

Charlotte looked at Alexis slightly suspiciously.

"neutral!?"

Alexis shook her head,

"The point is not neutrality, but the inhuman feeling of an angel!"

"You're right."

Charlotte nodded.

He admitted that he was partly influenced by Tilda Swinton's version of Gabriel.

Indeed, to express the inhuman feeling of an angel, one does not have to be as neutral as Swinton, but——

"How are you going to behave?"

Charlotte looked at Alexis with interest;

"Can you show me a show?"

"it's here?"

Alexis looked around -

At this time, she and Charlotte were both in the office building rented by Spectre Studio on South Beauvais Street, and there were not many people watching nearby.

No way, Charlotte is also the owner of the studio, so naturally she has a separate office.

As the head of the animation and special effects department, Alexis also serves as Charlotte's secretary to a certain extent...

In short, the relationship between the two is very ambiguous to those in the studio who do not know the inside story of the ghosts.

Lao Qiang and others, who knew Alexis's identity as a ghost, stayed away from this Valkyrie lady.

Therefore, when they get along, other people rarely hang around.

Therefore, it would not be a problem for Alexis to perform directly.

"Just watch!"

Since no one else was around, Alexis simply stopped hiding her specialness——

Miss Valkyrie directly spread her wings.

"This is really a natural advantage!"

Seeing Alexis's move, Charlotte couldn't help but smack her mouth.

"The Valkyrie is indeed very similar to an angel. If you pretend to be an angel, at least you can save money on special effects."

"That's not the most important thing!"

With that said, Alexis continued to cast spells. Soon, her hair shortened and her face changed slightly.

——As a ghost, Miss Valkyrie can control her appearance to a certain extent.

And more importantly, with this change, Alexis's temperament also changed——

She used to feel closer to the girl next door, but now she has an extremely ethereal feeling...

“Really good!”

Charlotte touched her chin and gave her own evaluation

"The neutral feeling may not be enough, but the strong ethereal feeling can indeed give people an inhuman feeling, and -"

——Alexis is indeed an angel-like, inhuman being.

In other words, in terms of the realism of the performance, it is impossible for a normal actor to have an advantage over this Miss Valkyrie.

"Okay, you win, Alexis!"

Looking at Miss Valkyrie who suddenly became beaming, Charlotte shrugged.

***********

In fact, Alexis is not the only inhuman being included in the cast list of "Hell Detective" by Charlotte.

River Phoenix, as the Headless Horseman, naturally cannot run away.

He was cast by Charlotte as the half-demon Balthazar.

Ruifan did not refuse.

In fact, he is very interested in acting again, especially with his lifelong friend Keanu Reeves...

"How about we just drag Johnny into this drama!"

Ruifan even came up with this idea.

"Shall we gather you "Three Musketeers" together?"

Charlotte shook her head;

"It's a good idea, but with Depp's current status, he can't play supporting roles. A guest role is possible, but who can he play as a guest star?"

"What about Biman who prepared various equipment and props for Constantine?"

Alexis, who had read the script, was making suggestions.

"That's fine."

Charlotte nodded,

"Then let's invite Depp to play the role of Beaman! By the way, if possible, Ruifan——"

Charlotte looked at River Phoenix;

"See if you can take this opportunity to get Reeves and Depp to accept the "reality" of this world?"
