Chatty Hollywood

"I hear Jodie Foster is coming tomorrow?"

It was already 12 o'clock in the morning when Lao Qiang suddenly ran into Charlotte's tent and asked this question. Charlotte has sorted out the shooting plan for the next day and is planning to lie down and rest.

——No way, the small crew has no money, and they are caught up with field shooting, so everyone can only make do in the tent, even if Charlotte is the director. Of course, some seniors, some money on hand, and some live directly in their RVs, such as old guns. Charlotte sometimes came to him for a drink or two, although Charlotte drank kvass.

——However, the sound insulation effect of Lao Gun's car is really good! After Annika entered, the car shook violently for a while, but there was no sound...

"Never mind Foster!"

Charlotte smirked and said,

"Tell me, did you have a good night?"

"tonight!?"

Lao Qiang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized something,

"Anika said you gave her that bottle of tequila - you kid tricked me!?"

"Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it!"

Charlotte squinted at her assistant director, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

"All right!"

As an old man, Lao Qiang's red-bearded face unexpectedly flashed a twist,

"Anika is a good woman, and I can't—"

"You've been divorced for three years, old man!"

Charlotte interrupted him directly,

"It's time to look forward!!"

Patting the shoulder of the red-bearded old man in front of him, Charlotte continued,

"You know Annika's situation, it's not particularly good, but I think you seem to have a good impression of her, otherwise I wouldn't have just pushed her and..."

Having said that, Charlotte had a smirk on his face again,

"In short, it's time to let go of the past!"

However, before Lao Qiang could react, he immediately said,

"Now, back to that question when you first came in—yes, Jodie Foster is coming tomorrow!"

"Westwood sent her here?"

Speaking of business, Lao Qiang immediately put aside the entanglement in his heart,

"Anthony, the old guy, finally did what a producer should do!"

After passing the operation and appointing Charlotte as the successor director, the producer Anthony Westwood did not act as a hand-off shopkeeper. In addition to helping Charlotte control the crew, he also tried to further intervene in the shooting. Unfortunately, due to physical problems, he couldn't follow the crew to shoot all the time, so he couldn't make effective intervention. After arguing with Charlotte several times and being pushed back, he wisely gave up his efforts in this regard .

And now Jodie Foster will show up, proving that Mr. Producer, after giving up interfering with the crew, is back to one of his real jobs—making money.

That's right, Jodie Foster, as one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood from the 1980s to the 1990s, was awarded the second title with "The Silence of the Lambs" at the 64th Oscar ceremony in 1992. The general director When I heard her name, the first thing that came to my mind was whether I could invite her, and whether I could afford her to star in my own movie. However, as the director and assistant director of the "Fatal Turn" crew, Charlotte and Lao Qiang first thought of her other identity——

Although as a hot star, she is currently earning a lot of money, but as a shrewd woman, Jodie Foster will not fail to consider how she will live when she gets old. In fact, she now owns a small but financially free production company named "Egg". It just so happens that one of the current co-producers of "Fatal Twist" is this company.

——This situation is like running a company,

It's like meeting an important member of the board of directors to inspect. If you handle it properly, you may get a capital increase, but if you don't handle it well...

"Speaking of which, when you and Westwood visited investors last time, didn't you see this actress?"

Lao Qiang was obviously a little curious about this beauty with a lace edge in the legend in the circle.

"She was filming on the set at the time, and I didn't see her at all."

Charlotte also has some regrets.

"Then will she invest more this time?"

"Westwood said that there is only about 60% certainty, and the rest depends on our adaptability on the spot."

Although Charlotte had heard that Jodie Foster was one of their important investors before succeeding Alan B. McElroy as the director, however, he didn't know until he took over the guide, In fact, the proportion of the film queen's investment in the entire film is not very high, but among those individual investors, she is the most famous.

In addition, Jodie Foster also signed a supplementary agreement with the crew - when the shooting of the film is about 90% complete, she will come to the crew to have a look and check the samples, and then add a part of the investment according to the situation. For the post-production and publicity of the film-this is why the producer Westwood invited her to come here now.

However, this agreement was signed with the other party when the director was still Allen. This guy obviously did not know how to get in touch with Judy Foster. Now that Allen has been a ghost, Charlotte I really don't know whether the French will continue to invest more.

——Yes, for Charlotte, the former director Allen is no longer missing, but clearly hanged up. In fact, after meeting the ghost tiger that survived from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era that night, he already guessed what happened to Allen. What's more, when he left later, he caught a glimpse of Allen and the former heroine Eliza Kunis.

Of course, they are no longer conscious, they are no longer living people, but ghosts controlled by ghost tigers.

——Obviously, the phrase "being a ghost is also romantic" is not just a description for Allen.

"What do you think she will react after seeing the sample?"

Lao Qiang was obviously worried about this matter. At this time, Charlotte, the real director, wanted to comfort him instead.

"Don't worry! Haven't you seen the samples too! Don't you have confidence in our previous work?"

In fact, after reaching an agreement with Ghost Tiger that night, Charlotte did borrow a lot of power from the other party during the filming process, which made many of the shots appear mysterious and weird, especially when he let the makeup artist Annika The re-modified shape of the mutant monster directly refers to the appearance of other mandrills given by Ghost Tiger. And the last few strokes he personally filled in were actually a rune, representing the ghost tiger itself.

If the "Fatal Turn" filmed by Charlotte is really released, then Ghost Tiger can indeed use this rune to absorb the fear of the audience when watching the movie, and then gradually transform itself from a mandrill to a real mountain god ——On this point, Charlotte did not deceive the other party.

"It's just that my chance to gain the initiative is also here."

Charlotte thought to herself.

Up to now, although the cooperation with the ghost tiger can be said to be really seeking skin from the tiger, Charlotte really has no reason to kill the other party-in fact, if the ghost tiger didn't kill Allen, he is still an artist now That's all - However, from the rune that Ghost Tiger gave him later, representing Ghost Tiger himself, Charlotte discovered something special...
