Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 365 Lunch Box

Charlize ultimately gets no answers from Charlotte.

It's not that Charlotte's conditions are unacceptable to her.

——After all, the two of them have been "in-depth communication" for so long, and they can try crazy things in the dream world. The girl cannot be stumped by ordinary tricks.

The reason Charlize didn't do this was more because she wanted to be able to guess it herself.

——To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a love affair between her and Charlotte.

Moreover, Charlotte didn't take the initiative to tell her, probably because she was afraid that those ghosts would find out.

After all, as Charlotte said before, powerful ghosts can peek into people's minds. The best way to keep it secret is to not know at all.

You know, the ghost Charlotte has to deal with this time is the famous Count Dracula!

That's not something to be taken lightly.

Especially, there is an unknown powerful ghost hidden behind this...

"Be careful, Charlotte!"

The girl was worried.

*******

Charlotte looked confident.

During the filming on Christmas Day, the first thing he shot was the scene where Constantine, Chas and Midnight Dad fight against the demon Mamon who possesses Angela.

In the original Hellraiser, after Angela was kidnapped by the demons, Constantine enlisted the help of Father Midnight.

The two of them, together with their apprentice Chas, went to deal with the demon.

However, due to various editing reasons, Midnight Dad completely disappeared behind him.

Even the lunch that Father Midnight originally requested was eaten by his young apprentice Chas.

But now, Charlotte has no intention of letting Father Midnight disappear again.

He designed a very voodoo-style spellcasting method for Midnight Papa, and it looked decent under the interpretation of Laurence Fishburne.

In some cases, he was even more handsome than the always simple and rough Constantine.

Correspondingly, as a price, the last person to receive the lunch will be Father Midnight.

Although in some ways, Midnight's relationship with Constantine is not as close as Chas's.

His death should not have as strong a stimulating effect on Constantine in terms of plot as Chas's death.

But Charlotte firmly believes in a law of commercial movies - the protagonist of a commercial film can die, but the character responsible for showing off tricks and cuteness must live until the end.

This kind of character is equivalent to a mascot-like existence for the movie.

Who would kill their own mascot?

If the mascot is killed, the film's luck will definitely be affected.

Chas, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Charlotte's Hellraiser, is exactly such a character.

So Charlotte simply changed the recipient of the lunch box.

What's more, from the perspective of plot plausibility, Father Midnight, who is proficient in voodoo spells and a member of the powerful party, is much more threatening to the devil than Chas, who has only learned a few spells.

——As Gabriel is the mastermind behind this, it seems more reasonable to kill him.

As for whether his death can stimulate Constantine -

Charlotte deliberately made the relationship between Constantine and Midnight Dad a frenemy and friend in the previous plot, just to complete the subsequent plot.

In particular, Laurence Fishburne, a black actor, may really be more compatible with Keanu Reeves.

Although I have never experienced the friendship between Morpheus and Neo in "The Matrix", the cooperation between the two is still very tacit, and the tense tension between enemies and friends is very obvious between the two.

"This is probably the same as falling in love and killing each other!"

Charlotte was thinking...

Because of his previous designs, at the end of filming, the three people facing the demon Manmeng became Constantine, Chas and Midnight Father.

However, the real difficulty in performing this scene was actually Jodie Foster.

According to the plot,

Her character Angela should have been possessed by the demon Meng Meng at this time.

In the original "Hell Detective", the director's performance requirements for this state may just be to show the ferocity and terror of the devil.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Rachel Weisz, as the heroine, to perform.

But now Charlotte's request is not that simple.

After making several commercial films, he has gradually formed his own film aesthetic.

In his view, even monsters as villains cannot simply highlight their ugliness and ferocity when presented.

The most important element is the shock to the audience in front of the big screen.

And if it can also bring a special horror-style beauty while ensuring the shock value, that would be even better.

——For this reason, Charlotte placed higher demands on Jodie Foster, who plays Angela.

"You have to embody the terror and ferocity of demon possession while also showing the beauty of destruction!"

Charlotte was scratching her head as she explained the scene to the actress.

"Speaking of which, it feels a bit similar to the serial killer you guest-starred in "Happy Death Day"."

"Is that what it feels like?"

Jodie Foster frowned,

"If I want to express that feeling, I can do it, but if I want to express that inhuman feeling of being possessed by a demon at the same time, I feel a little..."

The movie queen didn't finish her words, but Charlotte also understood what the other party meant.

He also knew that the performance requirements he put forward were indeed difficult.

——This almost requires the other person to look to the right as well as to the left.

Under normal circumstances, a human being with one head would not be able to do such a thing.

Fortunately, Charlotte is not that normal.

He knows magic!

Although he couldn't make Judy grow two heads, he could make two souls appear in Judy at the same time——

"Before the shooting begins, I will summon a special ghost to attach to you and coordinate with your performance."

Charlotte said softly.

This sentence shocked the actress.

——Although after a long period of psychological cultivation, she is no longer so afraid of ghosts, but letting ghosts possess her body is another matter.

Especially since Charlotte had told her before that her physique was actually very prone to being possessed by ghosts...

Judy was about to refute, but Charlotte went on to explain,

"You won't worry that the ghost will do you harm. He is completely harmless. Speaking of which, you might even know him - his name is River Phoenix!"

"Phoenix!?"

As an acting genius who died young, I have naturally heard of Ruifan's famous name Judy.

She really didn't expect that Charlotte could turn River Phoenix's body into a ghost that she could control...

"If this continues, will you suddenly summon Monroe into a ghost one day?"

The actress joked.

"...I really haven't thought about this."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment,

"However, you can consider it!"

"..."
