Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 389 Signs of Disaster

In fact, many people know that it is best for the story to progress layer by layer, so that it can always give people an unexpected and reasonable feeling.

But easier said than done——

The reality is that, let alone the progressive plot, even if there are a little more jokes or hidden meanings in a story, people will complain that it is difficult to understand.

I wrote two PS at the end of the chapter to explain it, but it would be said to be pretentious...

In short, it is not easy to narrate a story smoothly in a movie, so in her own modified "Hell Detective", Charlotte simply used a very simple and crude routine——

After adjusting the order of the two plots, they were directly connected.

Because the human brain is an associative thinking mode, after watching Constantine's exorcism and discovering what the devil is looking for, the following scene immediately cuts to the clip of the scavengers discovering the Gun of Longinus, which naturally gives The audience has the feeling that what the demons are looking for has appeared.

——This is not only the use of lens language, but also the instinct of human thinking.

Kenneth Turan, as a film critic, would laugh precisely because of this trick used by Charlotte -

This routine is not a difficult technique to master, but when Charlotte uses it here, it is just right.

There is obviously no clear introduction at all, and even the scavengers don't even have a few lines, but it just makes the audience aware of the changes that have taken place in the plot.

"Charlotte Booth's narrative skills have indeed improved!"

Kenneth Turan sighed, but couldn't help but become interested in the boy in red holding a golden gun head in the movie.

"This should be the Spear of Longinus, right? What is controlling this little boy? A demon? What does the symbol on his hand mean?"

Film critics who have not read the original comic can only guess secretly.

**********

At this time, Emily's former math teacher Andrew was also thinking about the same problem.

Andrew wasn’t so serious about watching the movie at first——

Although "Hell Detective" is also considered his favorite movie type, it is not "Star Wars" after all.

The purpose of Andrew's visit this time is more to follow his girlfriend Diana.

However, after seeing that Diana was accompanied by another beautiful woman, Andrew was much less worried.

Although the shadow of lace still lingered in his mind, he still had some thoughts about watching movies.

After seeing the mark on the arm of the boy in red, he couldn't help but think about it——

"What exactly is this sign?"

*********

"This should be the sign of the demon Menmeng!"

Not far away from Andrew, as a member of the original novel, Sheldon was happily giving spoilers to his friends.

"Manmeng!?"

Leonard, who was sitting next to Sheldon, was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

"Please, Sheldon! No spoilers!"

"But don't you want to know the plot in advance?"

At this moment, Sheldon was like a seductive and depraved devil.

"this……"

There was a trace of hesitation in Leonard's eyes, but he finally insisted,

"I'd better watch a movie!"

"All right!"

Sheldon shrugged.

"Actually, I don't know the plot behind it."

"What!?"

"I actually saw this symbol in some Catholic books."

Sheldon explained,

"There is no similar plot in the original comics of "Constantine."

"All right!"

Leonard nodded speechlessly, and then suddenly thought of a question,

"Wait, don't you believe in religion?"

"But my mother is a devout Catholic!"

Even though he has a super high IQ, Sheldon is still just a child in front of his mother...

***********

In fact, the symbol that appears on the arm of the boy in red,

The reason why many people noticed it was because Charlotte specifically used spells.

On the surface, it seems that it is indeed the symbol of the demon Manmon in the biblical narrative.

But in fact, Charlotte added some hidden lines inside the logo.

——That has become a true magic circle.

This magic circle is eye-catching, and people can't help but guess its meaning.

In this way, the presence of the boy in red suddenly became much stronger.

——Although, this is not actually the real purpose of the magic circle...

*********

Of course, no matter what the audience guesses, the progress of the movie will not stop.

Soon, policewoman Angela, played by Jodie Foster, appeared.

Although in the eyes of some people, Judy, who is a double Oscar winner, is not considered a peerless beauty.

But I have to admit that before her appearance has aged, her unique style is a color unique to Hollywood.

That kind of soft yet strong temperament, coupled with her unique voice, always makes people smile uncontrollably.

"How could such a good girl just--"

As a senior film critic, Richard Manson has naturally heard some rumors.

As a relatively traditional person, he has some prejudices against people with special sexual orientations.

Although I won't say or do anything because of it, I will always feel a little awkward psychologically.

Just like now, he would feel pity for Jodie Foster.

However, as a film critic, Richard Manson is not a moralist after all.

After sighing in his heart, he returned his attention to the big screen.

In the movie, Angela dreams of her twin sister Isabel in her sleep.

Isabel committed suicide!

Before committing suicide, the same mark as the little boy in red also appeared on her wrist.

"The story is getting more and more confusing!"

Richard Manson found it hilarious.

What made him even more interesting was that director Charlotte actually found another actress to play Angela's twin sister Isabel.

Moreover, in terms of appearance, they are quite similar.

"That's Charlize Theron, right?"

Having reviewed several Charlotte movies, Richard naturally recognizes Charlize, who is known as Charlotte’s queen heroine.

"This girl played a similar crazy character in "The Devil's Advocate". She felt like a string that was so tight that it could break at any time..."

Although it is only a supporting role that rarely appears, Richard still feels that Charlize's acting skills have improved again.

"Perhaps Charlotte Booth has trained her well! However, for twin sisters, isn't it a common practice for one person to play two roles?"

Mr. Film Critic, who is familiar with Hollywood movies, is a little puzzled by the way Charlotte is handled here.

After all, why use two actors when a problem can be solved by one actor?

——The crew’s budget is limited!

But he didn't know that although Charlize's role as Isabel was small, her role in the subsequent plot was definitely not small...
