Chatty Hollywood

Of course, the so-called death makeup is actually a special technique that Charlotte has mastered.

This is both a spell and not a spell——

It is said to be a spell because without the support of magic power, the scary effect of this kind of makeup is not powerful;

It is said that it is not a spell because the core of this method is not a spell after all. Mana is in it, more of a catalyst effect.

——Actually, this is a technique taught to Charlotte by the old ghost before she traveled through time.

Just like the story he told Charlize before, in ancient China, people who knew magic often cooperated with their ghosts and "begged" from wealthy families.

——To put it simply, it is a game of "good cop, bad cop".

However, there is a problem here——

Not all people who know magic can subdue ghosts as their subordinates.

At this time, the only choice is to find a living person to play ghost.

And if you want a living person to look scary enough, you naturally need makeup.

——Some smart people have developed a unique "death makeup" based on the technique of applying makeup to the dead.

With this unique makeup, a living person is more frightening than a real ghost, but it also retains some of the characteristics of a living person...

"So, you guys who are pretending to be ghosts are quite evil!"

In the evening, after listening to Charlotte's story, Charlize made this evaluation.

Of course, just like before, the two of them used "telling stories" as a kind of foreplay...

*********

"I remember that you promised before that you would make another movie with me."

After completing the follow-up task of "telling stories", Charlize complained with blurred eyes,

"Now that you are all preparing to remake "The Ring," what about the movie you're cooperating with me on? - Speaking of which, last time in the Lord God's Space, you said you would shoot a movie about dreams. Is this this one?"

"Well...it's not impossible."

Charlotte thought as she regained her breathing rhythm.

——The movie about dreams he was talking about was, of course, "Inception."

There are two most important female characters in this movie - one is naturally the protagonist Cobb's dead wife Mel, and the other is the new dreamer Adeni.

In the original time and space, the former was played by French actress Marion Cotillard.

——For this reason, Marion Cotillard, who was originally a charming woman, has a "hateful woman" temperament in the minds of many people...

The latter was given to Ellen Page.

——This young actress who starred as "Phantom Cat" in the "X-Men" series and also starred in "Juno" is considered to have very good acting skills.

However, her slightly childish appearance did not have any chemistry with Leonardo DiCaprio, the actor who plays the male protagonist Cobb, a long-legged blond supermodel enthusiast.

In addition, at that time, Leonardo DiCaprio had adopted a routine where his face became wider and wider, and he mainly relied on frowning to express his emotions, which made the emotional line between Adeni and Cobb in the story seem very flat.

But according to the plot, the interaction between Adeney's character and Cobb will stimulate Mel's...

Of course, the story of "Inception" is exciting enough that the audience basically ignored this slight unnaturalness.

But after Charlotte became a director in this time and space, looking back on the movie, she gradually discovered these problems.

However, this is not a problem.

After all, if Charlotte were to film "Inception" at this time, it would be impossible to copy the cast list from the original time and space.

--even,

He didn't even consider using Leonardo DiCaprio.

Who knows that it is only 2001, and Li Zi’s youthful face has not been completely destroyed by self-destruction...

"So, Sally, which character are you going to play?"

After telling Charlize the outline of the story, Charlotte directly left the choice to her wife.

He was playing tricks on himself in his mind, but unexpectedly Charlize completed his choice in one fell swoop——

"I play Mel, but there is a premise."

"What premise?"

"You play the leading role!"

"..."

Charlotte was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly,

"Sally, if this movie is made, it will cost a lot. This is not a low-budget movie like "Silver Linings Playbook" - if you let an unknown guy like me play the leading role, it will increase a lot of risks. of."

"how could be?"

Charlize imitated Charlotte's evil smile,

"You are now the number one idol director in Hollywood! I remember in the audience survey of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the number of viewers who walked into the cinema because of you was even more than the number of viewers who walked into the cinema because of Depp!"

"..."

"Come with me one more time!"

Seeing that her husband was still hesitant, Charlize used a rare trick of coquettishness, which made Charlotte unable to bear it for a while.

——After all, the two of them had just "communicated" once before, and neither of them had anything on them.

——And now, his physical strength has recovered after talking...

*********

Anyway, even when she arrived at the office the next day, Charlotte was still thinking about it.

——In fact, he also knows that, as Charlize said, his popularity is actually not low.

However, directing and acting on your own is actually not easy.

Although Charlotte often used the method of killing two birds with one stone to dig holes for others, whether it was dealing with ghosts or business opponents, he himself often believed that people could only do one thing well at a time.

It was okay to shoot "Silver Linings Playbook" just for fun, but for a blockbuster like "Inception" that is very difficult to shoot, he was asked to direct and act on his own, so he was somewhat lacking in confidence...

"Alexis, do you think it's okay for me to direct and act at my level?"

It happened that Miss Valkyrie, who was also his secretary, came to bring some documents to him, and Charlotte couldn't help but ask this question.

"Directed and acted in it? What kind of movie!?"

Alexis looked interested.

"It's the movie about dreams that I told you and Sally before in the Lord God's Space..."

With that said, Charlotte told Miss Valkyrie the content of his conversation with Charlize last night.

——Of course, he naturally ignored the scene in which this conversation took place and what happened before and after the conversation.

Fortunately, as an American girl who is essentially carefree, Alexis is not the type who is always attentive.

"Isn't this great!"

Miss Valkyrie smiled and said,

"You play the male lead and Sally plays your wife, just like in reality."

"Sally is still alive in reality!"

"Don't worry about the details!"

Alexis waved her hand,

"Speaking of which, according to you, there are two important female characters in this movie. Sally chose Mel because she wanted to be your wife - so what do you think of me playing Adeni?"

"..."
