Chatty Hollywood

Of course, Charlotte is cunning, but Miss Portman is no fool either.

Even though she was actually being manipulated by the other party, after a few times, Natalie gradually came to understand——

What the other party wants is his own state of being somewhat darkened by the accumulated anger and revealing his true nature.

Although this made Natalie, who was somewhat confident in her acting skills, very unhappy, but after the director specifically asked her to watch the shooting clips on the monitor for comparison, she had to admit that this darkening state subconsciously The performance was actually more spiritual and energetic than the techniques I had carefully prepared.

"And there is a kind of pleasure to release stress and let yourself go..."

Natalie would never admit that because of this sense of openness, her panties became a little wet during a performance...

In short, the Long Island girl who is proficient in psychology has understood that Director Charlotte's previous operations were completely to induce her.

——And she, who claims to be smart, was deceived without even noticing, and successfully allowed the other party to achieve his goal.

Although in a sense, this helped Natalie improve her acting skills - at least it gave her another type of role that she was good at - but Natalie was very dissatisfied.

"You can explain it to me clearly!"

She complained to the director privately.

"Can you do it if you tell me clearly?"

Charlotte asked with a half-smile,

"In other words, are you willing to let go of the cover-up of your true nature?"

"..."

——This guy is really annoying and scary!

Natalie, who was seen through, could only sulk to herself——

Indeed, if it were so easy to break through the acting bottleneck, then many actors—especially those from the Method School—would not have to drive themselves crazy.

In particular, Natalie knows her own thing. Although she has been praised as one of the more spiritual actresses born in the 1980s in Hollywood, she is not the kind of person who is extremely talented and can achieve success even if she can't do anything.

--It can be said,

Although the method used by Director Charlotte this time was quite bad, it actually helped Natalie improve her acting skills.

However, this feeling that made Natalie feel completely suppressed and played with by applause still made the Long Island girl feel that it would be best not to cooperate with the great director Charlotte Booth again in the future.

——There is no way, likes repel each other, and the other party's level of evil is far higher than Natalie.

"It's just level suppression!"

Miss Portman is still very humble in this regard...

******

However, apart from Natalie Portman's minor depression, the filming of "Blackjack" and "Now You See Me" went relatively smoothly.

After all, neither of these two movies are particularly big. Even "Now You See Me", which has some cool magic scenes, became effortless with the help of Charlotte's real magic.

Director Charlotte's job is quite easy——

Training young actors, experimenting with some unused shooting techniques, and spending time with Charlize, who often visits the studio, Charlotte feels like she is on vacation these days.

In fact, as Charlotte builds and improves her home, which is centered on the original Winchester Mystery House and connects multiple locations in the world, coupled with his in-depth understanding of the ghost ship, he is now really You can achieve a lifestyle of working in Los Angeles in the morning and relaxing in the sun on a private island in the Caribbean in the evening.

——In a sense, this is more comfortable and chic than the life of some super rich people who use airplanes as private cars.

After all, no matter how fast the plane is, it still takes time, and it can't arrive in seconds like this.

What's more, the maintenance of the aircraft before and after use is very troublesome, not to mention the weather effects and air traffic control...

Of course, although Charlotte has gradually become rich in mana, it is not to the extent that she can squander it at will.

Recently, he has been able to frequently use the gap between spaces to teleport because he has specially refined a magic weapon to help teleport.

——Yes, it’s his RV that often vibrates in the eyes of others.

This is the magic weapon that came out during his research on magic, combining the magic of manipulating dreams with the magic of moving through gaps in space——

As long as he passes the RV, he can quickly teleport to the teleportation point he set up in advance.

As for the vibrations in the RV, they are just the remnants of the spatial fluctuations caused by teleportation.

——If you really want to play "vibration" in the car, Charlotte, who has received the bonus of spells, especially dragon power, will last much longer than normal people imagine...

Of course, the places that this kind of teleportation can reach are still very limited at present——

In addition to the Winchester Mystery House, which is the original starting point, there are only three other locations: Beverly Hills, Santa Monica beach villas, and a private island in the Caribbean.

As for the house in London, due to the distance, teleportation consumes a lot of money, so Charlotte does not go there often.

However, he has already planned to open more teleportation points when his magic power is further improved in the future——

Places suitable for vacation, such as Las Vegas, as well as several places he often goes to when working, should be linked.

——Of course, given the secrecy, this means Charlotte needs to buy properties at these teleport points, but is this still a problem for Charlotte today?

Once you earn a certain amount of money, it becomes just a number. At this time, time, which is hard to buy, becomes more and more important——

It is commonplace in this world for poor people to exchange time for money, and for rich people to exchange time for time.

In fact, Charlotte will study teleportation spells and refine the RV into a magic weapon to help teleportation. Initially, it was not for the convenience of vacation and leisure, but to deal with a problem that all Hollywood stars must face after getting married and having children -

Should you take more responsibility for your family and children and reduce the output of your future works, or should you continue to work hard and leave your children to a nanny?

Obviously, both in the East and the West, the mainstream view is the former, and in order to prevent children from cheating on their parents when they grow up in the future, it is also the best choice to spend more time with them.

In this regard, neither Charlotte nor Charlize has any unique plans.

However, raising children in this way requires a lot of time costs——

Even if you are not a Hollywood star family like Charlotte and Charlize, raising a child requires a lot of time.

This is also the reason why Europe and the United States, the birthplace of the idea of ​​gender equality, still have a very high proportion of housewives—

On the one hand, this is because the income level in European and American countries is relatively high, and the man's income can support the entire family's expenses. On the other hand, it is also because raising children is very troublesome and takes almost an adult's whole day.

On the other side of the Pacific, because of differences in family and social structures, men and women can jointly support family expenses and rely on the elderly to raise children even when income levels are not as high as those in Europe and the United States.

However, with the development of the economy on the other side of the Pacific, the tightening of the social rhythm and the changes in the demographic structure, especially the impact of the industrialization of education, this rhythm has become increasingly difficult to maintain.

At least, before Charlotte traveled through time, this could already be said to be a social problem.

It is also ironic to say that the rise of the women's equal rights movement was essentially the economic demand caused by the shortage of social labor force after World War I. But now, what hinders the continued development of this movement is also the economic demand of raising children in a sense...

Of course, Charlotte is not a sociologist and has no plans to study this area. However, the problems he and Charlize face today are essentially not much different from other American families raising children——
