Chatty Hollywood

Now Charlize is actually using her status as an Oscar-winning actress to launch an attack on her status as a super A-list actress.

In the 1990s, there were only two actresses with such status in Hollywood——

Jodie Foster and Julia Roberts.

Among them, the former is a double Oscar-winner and stands out among all other actresses of the same age in Hollywood. Although her commercial appeal is average, with the help of Charlotte, she is still considered good after starring as the heroine in "Hell Detective";

Julia Roberts is more successful in the business field.

Although she rarely appeared in large-scale productions, she starred in a series of commercial films with a female perspective as the mainstay that were extremely successful at the box office, leading the revival of "chick movies."

By 2000, she was already the highest-ranking Hollywood star, the only woman in the "20 million salary club"...

*********

Whether it is Jodie Foster or Julia Roberts, it can be said that they are the goals of Charlize's current efforts.

And to reach that level, it is crucial to star in her first movie after becoming a movie queen.

Whether it is an art film or a commercial film, as long as it can achieve success that meets the corresponding standards, the various bonuses Charlize will receive after becoming a movie queen will be completely stabilized. If she wants to hit the top-tier status, that is, one or two It's about the movie.

However, if it fails, Charlize's current status will fall again.

Although it will not fall below the first line, the journey to reach the first line will suddenly become endless.

——Hollywood is such a cruel place where heroes are only judged by their success or failure.

Therefore, as a movie queen, Charlize is much stricter when selecting films. Not only does she have to look at the scripts, but the strength and fame of the director, producer and even other starring actors are also areas she examines.

In this way, the possibility of selecting a suitable film project will naturally become lower.

As a result, throughout 2000, Charlize did not play an important role in any film.

Of course, this doesn't mean that South African girls have nothing to do this year.

Not to mention the busy public relations activities before Oscar, getting married and having children also took up a lot of her time.

What's more, after getting married, she spent a lot of time with her daughter Ovelia and her husband Charlotte.

In terms of career, although she did not accept any important film contracts, she spent a lot of time inspecting the crew.

——It’s just that I didn’t get a satisfactory answer.

At the same time, in order to avoid being forgotten by the audience, she also made guest appearances in many movies——

Not to mention Charlotte's "Sherlock Holmes", Charlize also made guest appearances in several other friends' movies.

She even got involved in TV dramas.

——That is the new drama "The Power of Evil" launched by Spectre Studio at the end of the year to succeed "Death Note".

Although countless people from the audience to the TV station hope that "Death Note" can continue filming the next season,

Even in order to intimidate the producers, many fans of the show mailed "Death Note" directly to the Spectre studio.

——Compared to regular bullets and blades, this specialty is also a feature of the "Death Note" crew.

But even so, because Charlotte's resolution was very clear, "Death Note" was completed on schedule.

In order to avoid being chased by fans, Mr. Westwood really used the excuse Charlotte told him as a joke——

"The Killer is real. We can't continue filming stories about him. We don't want to die of cardiac paralysis!"

——Although anyone with a little bit of brains can tell that this is the producer's way of getting an advantage. But the problem is, the brain is a good thing, and many people in this world don’t have it.

Especially among some ardent fans.

In addition, due to the battle between Charlotte and Jack the Ripper, which led to a series of suicides and deaths of serial killers in "Sherlock Holmes", many people really believed that Mr. Westwood was evil.

——Thus, a fanatical fan organization called "Killer Cult" was born.

"Death Note" is obviously over, but its popularity has not declined but increased. Not only are various audio and video products selling well, but even the surrounding black notebooks have been sold, making many stationery manufacturers extremely sad.

——Everyone joined in the fun and wrote the names of the people they hated on black notebooks. As a result, the crime rate of shootings and other incidents in the United States in 2000 dropped a bit.

——This can be considered an unexpected surprise!

As for how much extra mana Charlotte has gained due to the obsession of "Death Note" fans, that is another matter.

In short, Specter Studio's "Death Note" was completed in the third quarter of 2000.

According to the previous agreement between Charlotte and Mr. Westwood, "Prison Break" should be launched as the next main series of Specter Studio.

But the problem is that the structure of the "Prison Break" series is relatively complex, and Charlotte was busy filming "Pirates of the Caribbean" and did not film in person, so Mr. Westwood needed more time to prepare.

——Or wait for Charlotte to find time to direct the first few episodes herself.

As for another planned series "The Vampire Diaries", although the two male protagonists are already ready due to the completion of "Death Note", this series needs more actors, especially the important heroine. It has not been selected, so it is still being prepared.

Under this circumstance, taking into account performance and other factors, and also to prevent his crew from being idle, Mr. Westwood advanced the series "The Power of Evil".

——Anyway, according to the script, as a series, the structure of this drama is relatively simple. Except for the two male protagonists, most of the characters can be found before the filming of each episode. It is very suitable for maintaining the current situation of Spectre Studio. TV series team.

In addition, Mr. Westwood has already negotiated with Warner's WB TV station through Charlotte...

In short, "Supernatural" was successfully produced by Mr. Westwood in the fourth quarter of 2000.

At his request, Charlize played a cameo role——

The mother of the Winchester brothers who died at the beginning.

This cameo was very interesting to Charlize because the scenes involving her were actually filmed in the Winchester Mystery House.

This wasn't originally a problem.

But after Charlotte connected the Winchester Mystery House to their Beverly Hills mansion and Santa Monica beach house, there really is something "mysterious" about it...

Anyway, although the filming of "The Force of Evil" went smoothly here, during the filming, the crew members were made nervous by the endless strange phenomena.

Of course, this is actually all a prank played by the housekeepers in the house - those Irish leprechauns led by Ovelia in the spirit state.

But Charlize, who has been with Charlotte for a long time and has become infected with men's bad habits, will not solve their problems for them...
