Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 680 The Midnight Bell

With Charlotte's support, Charlize finally decided to return to South Africa.

Of course, not now.

——Since Charlotte agreed to accompany her, she naturally had to wait until the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was over and she had time.

In particular, Charlotte also wants to visit the Cape of Good Hope at the southernmost tip of Africa——

“The legend of the Flying Dutchman has been around for centuries.”

Charlotte deliberately transformed into the octopus-headed captain in front of Charlize - neither of them had taken off their makeup anyway.

"In most legends, it was the captain of the ship who refused to retreat in the storm and insisted on sailing around the Cape of Good Hope even on the Day of Judgment - which at that time should have been called the Cape of Storms - and was cursed as a result. The "Flying Dutchman" who could never enter Hong Kong."

"I've heard of this legend too."

Charlize nodded,

"After all, the Cape of Good Hope is South Africa's most famous thing in the world, apart from diamonds, gold and the Boer War - I heard such bad legends when I was a child, but what does this have to do with you wanting to see the Cape of Good Hope? Woolen cloth?"

"I just want the Ovelia to gain stronger capabilities."

Charlotte shrugged.

"My subsequent plan for spells will probably require me to explore some mysterious places deep in the ocean, so it would be good if I could gain stronger power in the ocean through the legend of the "Flying Dutchman"."

"Is it the Lord of the Abyss?"

Charlize had heard Charlotte say something related, so naturally she thought of it immediately.

"The ABCD in our home was prepared specifically for this, right?"

"So be it!"

Charlotte smiled;

"Speaking of which, how do you feel about using these four mermaid girls as maids?"

"fantastic!"

Charlize looked strange;

"They are very adaptable to the environment of the Winchester Mystery House and get along well with Ovelia, but they lack common sense and often do things that make people laugh or cry."

"For example?"

"When I saw the scene of the sea on TV, I thought it was connected to the sea, and then I tried to get in through the screen. Does that count?"

"...If they really get in and get out again, they will become another kind of ghost!"

Charlotte said speechlessly, and Charlize nodded,

"Sadako! We watched that Japanese horror movie together. It was pretty good - speaking of which, didn't you say you wanted to remake that movie before? How are the preparations now?"

"Remake? Did I say that!?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then thought about it——

Indeed, after the Japanese version of "The Ring" was released in 1998, Charlotte also found the video tape and watched it with Charlize.

At that time, he did casually say that he wanted to remake this movie.

However, maybe it’s because I’ve been with Charlotte for a long time,

Because of her deep understanding of Eastern culture, Charlize was also frightened by Sadako crawling out of the TV screen.

——As a result, after watching the videotape, Charlotte "comforted" Charlize on the bed for a long time and forgot about the remake.

And now that I think about it...

“If there’s a real remake of ‘The Ring’, it seems to be pretty good too!”

——In fact, in Charlotte's original time and space, Hollywood did remake "The Ring".

Although in the eyes of many Easterners, this is just a traditional American plasma film and is not as shocking as the original "Midnight Ring", Americans themselves think it is pretty good.

——In fact, this situation often occurs when Hollywood remakes excellent movies from other cultural circles.

——The American version of "Infernal Affairs" is a mess in the eyes of most Easterners who have read the original Hong Kong version. However, this film was highly praised in the United States, and director Martin Scorsese even won the Oscar for Best Director.

Of course, this statuette is, to some extent, a consolation prize or lifetime achievement award given to Martin by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

But being able to win an award for the remake of "Infernal Affairs" itself shows that the film was well made in the eyes of American audiences.

The same is true for the American version of "The Ring".

In particular, in Charlotte's original time and space, the director of the remake of this movie was Gore Verbinski, the director of the first three "Pirates of the Caribbean" films in that time and space.

"This can be considered a wonderful fate!"

Charlotte thought to herself.

...Anyway, after her wife's prompting, Charlotte felt that "The Ring" was still worthy of being remade.

Of course, he doesn't need to direct it himself.

——After all, as a major first-line commercial film director, it seems a bit unworthy to remake a low-cost Japanese horror film.

But being a producer is still okay.

As for the director's job, you can leave it to Lao Qiang!

If that doesn't work, it's not impossible to drag Gore Verbinski over.

Anyway, in this time and space, without the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, the other party's worth is not high...

**********

In fact, Charlotte would like to remake "The Ring" mainly because of "Sadako".

——If the opponent can be embodied through the American remake of "The Ring", Charlotte will have another powerful ghost in her hands.

Especially, considering that as a producer, Charlotte can personally handle some of the scenes in the remake of "The Bell"...

——When the movie is completed, the scene of Sadako crawling out of the TV screen will be extremely realistic.

——Especially in the United States, many horror film lovers like to rent DVDs or videos to take home and watch alone in the middle of the night...

Charlotte feels that Sadako will definitely be able to provide him with a lot of mana by then, and she will also be extremely powerful because of the "sour" experience of the audience.

*********

Of course, these are things for the future.

Currently, Charlotte is mainly discussing with Charlize about when to return to South Africa.

In fact, even without considering the relationship between the "Flying Dutchman" and the Cape of Good Hope, Charlotte still has some interest in South Africa.

——After all, due to her status as an Oscar-winning actress and the praise and publicity from South Africa, Charlize is the same as she was in the original time and space, but with the addition of the nickname "South African Diamond".

When Charlotte got along with her, she would sometimes tease her like this.

Just like now, he was pinching some strange places on his wife's body that felt like diamonds and jewelry, while teasing her in her ears.

However, due to the shock to her nerves, Charlize no longer had time to pay attention to what he said...

*********

All in all, Charlotte and Charlize had a pretty good Christmas in the Dominican Republic.

Although the two of them left a shameless image on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew because of this clearance incident, no one dared to complain.

What's more, on Christmas Eve, Ovelia was still in a spiritual state, riding the "Ovelia" and arriving in the Dominican Republic through the interstitial space...

You know, there are less than half of the ghost members in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew.

They were all made to lose their temper by the ghostly Ovelia.

As for those human members who cannot see Ovelia, they are even more unlucky...
