Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 487: When the monster knocks on the door

"I'm going back to Hollywood right now!"

After hearing the news of Eileen Wuornos' death, Charlize's first reaction was to immediately return to the United States to find Patty Jenkins to develop the biopic they had been planning for a long time.

However, Charlotte stopped her.

"Sally, have you forgotten something?"

"I know."

Charlize kissed Charlotte apologetically,

"I promised to stay with you for a while, but -"

——Because the two of them were very busy in the past few years, they spent less time together and more time apart.

It's rare that Charlize has a longer rest this time, and Charlotte's work is not as busy as before. The two originally planned to stay together for a while.

——That’s why Charlize followed Charlotte all the way to Morocco to film “The Mummy”. Even now back in London, the two have not separated...

However, now that the opportunity she had been waiting for for two or three years was in front of her, Charlize still couldn't help it.

Fortunately, Charlotte didn't want to stop her——

"Sally, have you forgotten that Alexis can fly!"

Charlotte shrugged, pointing out a fact that Charlize had forgotten.

"No matter how fast you catch the plane, it's still not as fast as her being a Valkyrie and crossing the Atlantic Ocean directly."

"...Okay, you're right!"

Charlize smiled bitterly,

"But, if I don't rush back, the movie project will be approved—"

"Alexis can handle this too."

Charlotte took Charlize's hand and rubbed it gently to calm the girl's anxious mood.

"After all, a lot of the previous preparations were done by Spectre Studio in cooperation with you and Patty Jenkins - Alexis, as my representative, can also communicate with all parties. Now, it is more important Yes, it’s about the film’s preparation plan!”

"You mean!?"

Charlize realized the meaning of Charlotte's words,

"Who's going to be the director!?"

"The choice of director is of course an important part, but the selection of producers, screenwriters, supporting actresses, etc. are also important."

Charlotte didn’t say heroine.

——After all, Charlize has been eyeing this project for so long, so she is the natural choice for the heroine.

Although Charlotte is not very willing to let his girlfriend play the role of Eileen Wuornos.

There is no way, who can play this role, it is impossible with Charlize's original good looks. I must act ugly and gain weight!

——But who likes to make their girlfriend ugly?

Therefore, Charlotte's psychology is actually very contradictory.

However, considering that starring in the role of Erin Wuornos may be helpful in completely lifting Charlize's psychological barriers, Charlotte still uses her own experience to guide her girlfriend——

"First of all, Sally, since you are going to play the role of Erin Wuornos, in order to keep you central, you need to have producer power."

"That's right."

Charlize didn't object.

——Having been in Hollywood for several years, she naturally knows that producers are actually the most powerful people in Hollywood movies.

"Of course, I will also help you with the production work."

Charlotte added,

"And Alexis, as the messenger who helps communicate, can also take on part of the production work - as for the screenwriter, you probably want to use Patty Jenkins directly, right?"

"Yes."

Charlize nodded,

"Patty has been following this project for so long and can be said to be the person who knows the story of Erin Wuornos the best. She is indeed the perfect choice to write the script!"

"That's no problem. But, where is the director?"

"director!?"

After being glanced at by Charlize, Charlotte quickly shook her head,

"Sally, you have always been my muse. In my movies, you are always beautiful. And this movie..."

"It doesn't need my beauty!"

Charlize understood what Charlotte meant.

She thought there was some truth to Charlotte's words.

But on the other hand, the girl also knew that the reasons for Charlotte's refusal were definitely not just these -

"Man—"

Charlize shook his head in his heart, but a sudden thought suddenly came to him——

"Charlotte, what do you think about me making this a feminist movie?"

“Feminist colors!?”

Charlotte frowned.

He naturally knows about the feminist movement that has become increasingly popular since the 21st century.

After all, this wind is blowing not only in the United States, but also across the Pacific Ocean.

Charlotte actually has no opinion on this kind of thing.

Because he knows very well that the so-called equal rights, whether it is women's rights or the rights of ethnic minorities, are ultimately caused by some groups' dissatisfaction with the current society's cake-sharing mechanism.

It should be said that many times, this dissatisfaction is correct.

This society is indeed unfair to many people.

But the problem is that the effects brought about by the affirmative action will also be exploited by many "smart people".

There is no other way. It is a common problem for most people to like to enjoy rights and benefits but not to fulfill their obligations and responsibilities——

When enjoying the benefits, ask for "equal rights" - let the other party give up more;

When performing obligations, we also require "equal rights" - let the other party bear more of the responsibility;

——So, the good scriptures were read crookedly by the crooked monk.

Of course, Charlotte is neither a social activist nor a politician.

His mind just turned around and he immediately turned his attention to how to use the future affirmative action movement to gain benefits.

After all, the trend of the times is irreversible, and Charlotte is no saint.

He can still see clearly the benefits of adding a feminist touch to the film that Charlize proposed.

Charlotte nodded,

"Sally, your idea is indeed a good one. However, because you specifically proposed the concept of feminism, does that mean you want to find a female director!?"

"That's right!"

Charlize kissed Charlotte gently;

"I knew you could think of going with me!"

"So do you have a suitable candidate?"

Charlotte asked.

"What do you think about having Patty do the same job!?"

"Patty Jenkins!?"

Facing the answer given by Charlize, Charlotte frowned again.

He was not very opposed to the choice of Tee Jenkins.

After all, this biopic of Erin Wuornos is in the hands of Charlize, with his own help. The director is just an on-site shooting director, and does not need a strong candidate.

What makes Charlotte depressed is that Charlize seems to be very optimistic about Patty Jenkins——

"Sally, when you recommend Patty Jenkins so much, do you mean-"

"you think too much!"

Realizing the man's pettiness, Charlize couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"There are some people in Hollywood who say I'm frigid, but there's no one who says I'm lesbian - I would recommend Patty, just because we've been working together for a long time, and this movie is like our child, so I think she is the most suitable for directing."

"..."

Charlotte looked at Charlize speechlessly;

"Sally, are you really sure that you won't let me misunderstand you by saying this?"

"...It seems to be true."

Thinking of the so-called "child" in her words, Charlize also realized that her explanation had the opposite effect.

She couldn't help but stick out her tongue coquettishly at Charlotte,

"Then how do you think I can prove myself to you?"

"Well..."

A smirk appeared on Charlotte's lips.

He whispered something into Charlize's ear and pointed to the car they drove when they came to see the house.

The girl blushed.

"Why do I feel like I've fallen into your trap?"
