Chatty Hollywood

After comforting Charlize, who was a little uneasy about being nominated for her first award, and making an appointment with her to attend the Saturn Awards ceremony, Charlotte returned her attention to filming.

That's not to say that he doesn't care at all about whether he wins or not.

After all, even if the Saturn Award is not an Oscar, Charlotte is not Woody Allen either!

For him who has yet to win any awards, the Saturn Award is still very attractive.

He didn't say it just because he had already thought about it——

First of all, there is no chance for the best director. Just one James Cameron is an insurmountable mountain. What's more, the other nominated directors are also very experienced.

As for the best horror movie, the most powerful opponent of "Happy Death Day" is "Interview with the Vampire".

Considering that Tom Cruise, a very popular guy, exists in this movie, Charlotte feels that she can give up.

It's the best screenwriter, though, and Charlotte thinks she can compete for it. Although the opponents are equally strong, the infinite loop story structure of "Happy Death Day" is still very competitive in this era.

As for the best special effects, Charlotte really doesn't understand what's going on.

After all, it was "The Turn" that was nominated.

From Charlotte's point of view, this movie has almost no special effects!

Is it really that second brush special effect?

Anyway, for this nomination, he was ready to just leave it to fate.

——So, in summary, the only thing Charlotte can try is the best screenwriter.

But this is not an Oscar after all. The Saturn Award for Best Screenplay is not worth his money on public relations.

What's more, even for the Oscars, where a lot of money is spent on public relations, it's mainly the acting awards.

——No way, celebrities have money!

As for Charlotte, he decided to wait and see.

Anyway, according to Lao Qiang, if he really wins an award, the Saturn Awards sometimes give hints before sending out invitations to the awards ceremony.

Although I don’t know if it’s true or not, it doesn’t affect Charlotte’s waiting.

At present, the most important thing for him is to make the movie "Sleepy Hollow".

After all, this is a big production with a large investment. Once it is completed, he can be directly promoted to a first-line commercial film director.

If you don’t take good pictures, you’ll be in trouble later.

"Speaking of which, what still needs to be shot on location is a few special effects shots."

Charlotte thought,

"The special effects of the Headless Horseman coming out of the tree hole of the Tree of Death and going back, because it involves actors and horses, and it's not just a scary special effect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rely on magic alone at the moment."

Charlotte felt a little distressed when she thought that she might have to spend some money on real computer special effects production.

"On the other hand, after the Headless Horseman takes back his head, he attaches the head to his neck, and then slowly grows muscles and skin. The process can be realized by illusion, just like the part where the witch changed her face."

For now, Charlotte's spell rendering still has its limitations during the filming process.

Generally speaking, it is either big or small, but the middle part is not very useful.

If it is large, it is easy to achieve the fog and dark wind in the sky, and it can also affect the brightness and darkness of the shooting picture, and even the overall atmosphere.

——To put it simply, images that cover the entire lens are easier to process, just like filters.

If it is small, you can also consider covering some special effects on a certain part of the person's body.

- Just like when the headless stuntman's head was replaced with black smoke.

But for the picture where the entire object is deformed, it is a bit troublesome.

After all, neither illusions nor changes in ghosts are omnipotent.

"We still have to set up a real special effects studio in the future!"

Charlotte secretly made up her mind.

*********

Of course, none of these considerations affected the filming process of "Sleepy Hollow."

Soon, it was time for the Headless Horseman to retrieve his head, grab Katrina's stepmother, and run back to the underworld on a prancing horse.

——These are the last scenes that need to be shot on location.

The reason why it is put at the end is not only because there are many special effects required here and require special processing, but also there is another reason——

"Sally, I will really open the door to hell during the filming later. Although it will only be a short moment, please don't really move forward at that time, otherwise Alexis will be taken away."

After telling the story, Charlotte quietly said to Charlize while taking advantage of the gap before filming started.

"OK."

In "Fatal Turn", Charlize, who had seen the Gates of Hell, knew that Charlotte's words were not a joke.

She nodded seriously, and then realized a problem.

"What should Ruifan do? Alexis and I can stay away, but Ruifan-"

When filming the Headless Horseman scene, River Phoenix was always attached to the body of the stuntman.

When the opponent rode towards the "Tree of Death" on horseback, Charlize didn't think River had time to retreat.

And Charlotte said before that he set the gate of hell under the "Tree of Death".

——There is a crossroads.

"I will bring Ruifan back at the last minute."

Charlotte only had time to say a few words before the filming began.

*******

"I always feel like something is not right!"

After hearing Charlotte's vague statement, Charlize realized that this man must have something he didn't tell him.

If there is no one around and there is plenty of time, the girl can find a way to "persuade" him, but now, the filming is about to begin——

"My boyfriend is too mysterious, which can be annoying sometimes!"

In Charlize's mind, Alexis was gloating.

"You'd better take care of yourself first!"

Charlize replied to the other party unceremoniously in his mind,

"If you fail to withstand the suction of the Hell Gate and are sucked in, all the preparations you made before will be in vain!"

"..."

The female ghost lady who possessed her did not reply.

Although Charlize has seen the Hell Gate before, she is a living person and it is difficult for her to feel that sense of oppression. But now Alexis' reaction made her realize something.

——It seems that the gate of hell is really a terrifying thing for ghosts.

But in this case, is there something wrong with Charlotte’s statement?

Maybe, pulling people from the gates of hell is not as easy as he said?

Thinking of the too clear look in the man's eyes when he looked at her just now, the girl realized that he was actually a little nervous.

"This clumsy guy! Is he afraid that I will worry? Or does he think that telling me will bring me any danger?"

The corners of Charlize's mouth curled up slightly.

The girl was not angry at the man for not telling her the truth.

Because past experiences made her understand that Charlotte's choice at this time is often the most correct.

She has no intention of disobeying the other party's request.

——Even if the other person doesn’t tell him why.

"But, when will he realize that he can no longer hide his feelings in front of me?"

Thinking that the big liar could no longer deceive her, the girl couldn't help but feel excited.

PS1: "The Woman Who Fell in Love with Lies" is an RB movie that has not yet been released. It is said to be released in 2018. The heroine is Masami Nagasawa. Is anyone interested in watching it? PS2: Woody Allen is Oscar's biological grandfather. He has won or been nominated for so many times, but he has never attended. Even the statuette has been received by others on his behalf. Xiao Lizi cried to death about this. PS3: I don’t know who still remembers how Sally judged that Charlotte had a problem. She said it before in "Happy Death Day".
