Chatty Hollywood

"Does what he said really work?"

Looking at Charlotte talking eloquently in front of her, Judy couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In fact, even now, Judy did not fully believe what Charlotte said, but she had to admit that every time she touched the cover of the human skin book, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart, just like …

"Maybe that book really has magic power!"

Judy thought to herself.

The human skin book was indeed in her hand.

When Charlotte asked about the whereabouts of the human skin book yesterday, she couldn't help but secretly instruct Anna to hide the fact that the book was still in her hand.

She didn't know why she did it, just like she didn't know why she didn't give the book to the FBI in the first place.

"It's really like Charlotte said, it's just like drug addiction!"

I know it's wrong, but I can't get rid of it, I can only struggle and sink deeper and deeper.

Judy felt that her situation was very dangerous, but she could not ask for help anyway.

——This is my baby! !

This sentence would flash through her mind every time she touched the cover, which was as smooth as a girl's skin.

She couldn't part with the book.

However, she also knew that this would not work.

Because she knew that the so-called painted skin was indeed created by her.

She hadn't realized it when a heart was inserted in the villa. But the conversation with Charlotte later awakened her.

——The reason why the monster Huapi was created, rather than anything else, was because of the anger and jealousy in her heart——

Anger at John Hinckley!

Envy of Anthony Hopkins!

Although she has created many famous roles in film history so far, FBI agent Clarice is still one of the best.

However, the role she is most proud of is always overshadowed by Hopkins' Dr. Hannibal.

"Silence of the Lambs" is a classic, but its only achievement is Dr. Hannibal.

As for Clarisse?

She is just a backdrop to the cannibal doctor.

Judy is angry about Clarice, and she wants the audience to notice Clarice's presence.

Every time she touched the cover of the book, she would always think of these things that made her angry and sad.

But with caressing, those negative emotions will gradually dissipate, as if they are being extracted from the brain.

The feeling was very comfortable, and even gave Judy a feeling of soaring through the clouds.

The more severe the negative emotions are, the stronger the pleasure will be. After the last time, she even found that she was wet underneath.

That time, she learned that Orion Company was preparing a sequel to "Silence of the Lambs", but the title had already been changed to "Hannibal".

Although Judy's experience as a producer has taught her that popular characters will inevitably occupy more space, deep down, she still regards this as a humiliation.

What made her even more angry was that on the same day, John Hinckley's lawyer actually asked the mental hospital to let this bastard out. The reason was——

His client was able to watch "The Silence of the Lambs" normally without any abnormal reactions.

Hell, last month there was news that the doctor found a hand-drawn portrait of himself from under his bed - and it was still a damn naked body!

Now he dares to say that he is fine! ?

Judy became more and more aware of how shameless the lawyer profession was.

Fortunately, without her taking action, the FBI re-examined Hinckley's mental state and put him on the psychiatrist's electric chair again.

——After all, this guy has assassinated the president. How could he be let out so easily?

But even so,

Judy was still very angry. The two things combined made her so angry that she finally couldn't help but take out the book again...

A few days later, the monster Charlotte called "Paint Skin" appeared and placed a heart in her villa.

Now it seems that the painted skin was probably born after absorbing her negative emotions, right?

Judy secretly guessed.

However, she was unwilling to give the book to Charlotte and let the other party solve the problem from the source.

That book seemed to have taken root deep in her spirit, making it impossible for her to leave it.

In desperation, Judy had to think of other ways to solve the problem of painted skin. And now the plan proposed by Charlotte seems good.

"But your plan is just a delay, but it can't completely solve it, right?"

Judy still has some questions,

"If this continues, won't it be a matter of time before a new painting skin is born?"

"That's right."

Charlotte nodded,

"So, this is actually just the first part of my plan. After that, I hope you can make a guest appearance in "Happy Death Day"."

"Friendly guest appearance?"

The actress looked at the director with a half-smile,

"You know, generally speaking, it is impossible for me to accept this kind of invitation if you are not an acquaintance."

"Am I an acquaintance?"

Charlotte can be very thick-skinned if she needs to be.

"..."

——How can we continue talking about this?

Judy looked helpless.

Charlotte chuckled before telling her real reason.

"Actually, I hope to use this movie to seal away the evil god who gave birth to Painted Skin."

"Seal the evil god? Use a movie!?"

Judy was confused for a moment.

She had seen a lot of movies about exorcism, but that was all part of the story. As for the movie itself, she had never heard of such an ability.

In desperation, Charlotte had to tell her the story behind the movie "Fatal Turn"...

"It's actually like this!"

After listening, Judy looked like she was suddenly enlightened but couldn't believe it.

"If you hadn't let me see the painted skin that was exactly the same as mine yesterday, and controlled it to move a few times in front of me, I would definitely recommend you to stay in a mental hospital for a few days."

— and lived next door to Hinckley.

In Judy's opinion, Charlotte's statements are becoming more and more erratic.

Can you catch ghosts while making a movie?

It always felt a little unreal, but what Charlotte said was so accurate.

Especially the magical second brush effect of "Deadly Bend", after adding the explanation of the spell, it seems very reasonable and is no longer a coincidence.

Judy couldn't help but wish this was true, but—

"Didn't you say that the human-skin book is the source of trouble? Is it useful if you ignore it now and go directly to seal the evil god?"

"The source and the root are not exactly the same thing, just like once a fire breaks out, it is useless to put out the original source of the fire."

Charlotte explained,

"After the painting skin was created, I felt that the evil god who gave the painting skin power had probably separated from the human skin book. At this time, there is no point in destroying the book."

"I see!"

Judy couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

If it's really like what the other party said, can I still keep the human leather book?

"Okay, I agree to your request for a guest appearance. By the way, what role do you want me to guest play? It won't be the murderer who revealed the secret in the end, right?"

"of course not."

Charlotte simply rejected Judy's guess.

"If you are the murderer behind the scenes, because of your fame, the audience's attention will easily focus on you - our trick will be easily seen through."

——Furthermore, even if your figure is not as good as Charlize's, you two have your own merits in terms of the sophistication of your face. This makes it difficult to create the strong sense of contrast required by the plot.

Charlotte did not say this. He believed that Jodie Foster should also understand, otherwise the other party would not ask this question in a questioning tone.

Therefore, Charlotte directly gave her answer:

"The one I need you to make a cameo in is the impressive serial killer in the movie!"
