Chatty Hollywood

Seeing now, even Jodie Foster, who is familiar with the routines of horror movies, began to be a little curious about what the elusive killer looked like. She glanced at Charlotte who was on the side, but Charlotte made a gesture of please, motioning her to continue looking down.

In fact, in the original version of "Fatal Turn", the mutant monster who exists as a killer basically has no characteristics except for being ugly and hideous. However, Charlotte's version of "Fatal Turn" is different - because of the deal with the ghost tiger, he also incorporated part of the characteristics of the mandrill into the image design of the mutant monster, making it retain the ugly and hideous feeling. At the same time, it adds a sense of mystery and sacredness of religion.

Just like what Charlotte said when she was researching with the makeup artist Annika, it is more like the totem image in primitive religious worship.

——This is also the original face of the mandrill.

So, when Jodie Foster saw the positive image of the mutant, she was really surprised——

She had expected the ugliness of the mutant monster's image. After all, out of instinct, people always like to associate ugliness with horror, although the two are not necessarily related—for example, Quasimodo in "Notre Dame de Paris" is a typical victim of this prejudice. By.

But Judy foresees the ugliness, but not the rest. She didn't know how the make-up artist of the crew of "Fatal Turning" came up with the idea of ​​adding a sense of mystery to the makeup of the mutated monsters through a few simple touches of modification while keeping them ugly and hideous. This sense of mystery made Judy involuntarily resist the physical discomfort of being ugly, and carefully looked at the faces of strange people, which intensified her sense of fear.

"Really good makeup!"

Miss Actress couldn't help admiring the work of makeup artist Annika.

However, what made Jodie Foster even more admirable was that the male and female protagonists and a group of four—the remaining two had been killed in front—after hitting and entering the hut of the mutant monsters by mistake, A series of scenes seen.

She didn't know how Charlotte did it. Although the jar of extracted human teeth was terrifying, and the cabin was indeed dirty and gloomy, but better horror movies can actually do this, but Now she is separated from the screen, but she seems to be able to feel the sense of tension and terror lurking in countless dangers.

"Maybe, this guy is really suitable for horror movies!"

Judy secretly glanced at Charlotte, and raised his evaluation of him.

"Speaking of which, what kind of symbols are drawn with blood on the floor of those mutated monsters' houses? Why do I feel like a magic circle of dark sacrifices?"

Maybe it was a little tired from watching, Jodie Foster asked Lao Gun to pause the sample that was playing, and then while resting, he asked Charlotte about the part he didn't understand just now. Charlotte's answer was straightforward:

"That is indeed a magic circle. It comes from China. The various patterns inside are actually a special kind of characters, which means "North"."

"north!?"

Jodie Foster couldn't understand this,

"The film "Fatal Turn", I remember when I read the script, it was just a pure blood film? Adding black magic and other magical elements in it, especially from China, would it be difficult to mix it like this? Isn't it nice?"

"I can't say it's impossible."

Charlotte stroked her chin,

"However, in ordinary plots, this magic circle is just an embellishment, meaningless. Its greater significance is actually serving our second-tier plot."

"Second story plot? What's that!?"

——In the script that was shown to me when I was soliciting investment, there was no such thing at all! !

Foster was clearly confused. Charlotte didn't explain either,

just blinked,

"Watch the whole movie several times, and you will understand it naturally."

Saying so, Charlotte recalled the scene when he met Ghost Tiger last night——

"You're trying to scare people out there watching with what you're filming these days and make them feel in awe of me?"

Just as Lao Qiang finished listening to the news, he left Charlotte's tent, and a ghost that was extremely pale in Charlotte's eyes but invisible to ordinary people floated into his tent.

"You guys, why do you like to come uninvited!?"

Charlotte grumbled, looked up at the ghost floating in the tent, and suddenly found that it was his former boss, Alan McElroy who had been eaten by the ghost tiger and turned into a ghost.

However, judging from the tone of what he said just now, it was not Allen himself who controlled the ghost that Alan transformed into, but the ghost tiger. This ghost image is just a substitute, or a puppet, of the opponent.

"What are you doing here?"

Charlotte is not worried about the ghost tiger whose main body is neither in sight nor has brought a large number of ghosts. He rolled his eyelids and yawned, as if he was blaming the other party for disturbing his sleep in the middle of the night.

"I'm just here to remind you, don't forget your promise to me!"

"of course not!"

Charlotte still looked indifferent,

"Aside from other things, the runes painted on the faces of those mutated monsters and the magic circle painted on the floor of the cabin are all made according to your wishes, and they represent your identity in themselves. ?As long as people who watch the movie feel scared when they see weird people or cabins, the power of awe will naturally be transmitted to you, and when you accumulate enough awe, you can change from a mandrill to a mountain god. Isn't it?"

Speaking of this, Charlotte felt a little regretful,

"It's a pity that you don't want to appear on the screen in person, otherwise the terrifying aura on your body is enough to frighten the audience of the blockbuster movie! In that way, the impression will be more direct, and there will be no need to go through the transfer, and the accumulation of awe will definitely be faster. many!"

"Go straight to the camera!?"

Alan, no, Ghost Tiger sneered,

"Do you think I'm one of those brainless ordinary ghosts? Since you are proficient in Taoism, how could I easily expose my body to you!"

"It seems that you are not stupid, but in fact, you are not very smart."

Charlotte also smiled back,

"Now, do you think I still don't know who you are, Wei Changhui?"

"..."

The moment he heard Charlotte's words, Ghost Tiger was silent, and then laughed again,

"It's been a long time since I heard that name. How did you guess it, boy?"

"is it hard?"

Charlotte pouted,

"Aside from other things, I have known for a long time that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really does not have many mandrills. When you started the uprising in GX Jintian, the reason why you divided up the four kings of east, west, north and south was that each of the main leaders Each controlled a mandrill. Although those mandrills were all lost later, even if you want to transform people into mandrills, you must have been in contact with mandrills for a long time, and those who have been contaminated with a lot of their breath are better transformed."

Having said that, Charlotte paused again,

"What's more, the magic circle you asked me to set up in the cabin represents the essence of the north, and the few strokes you asked me to paint on the faces of the actors who played the mutant monsters are not exactly the "Wei" in the Yin rune word?"

"You foreign devil, you know Yin runes!?"

Ghost Tiger was surprised for a while, but then laughed again,

"Yes, I am the Northern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom——Wei Changhui! Now that you have seen through my identity, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Continue with the previous transaction!"

Charlotte yawned again, as if she really had no energy,

"Although I know some spells, I really have nothing to do with a mandrill like you that is about to transform into a mountain god—of course, I'm not afraid of you. But in this case, our best choice is well water If you don’t violate the river, then everything will be business as usual?”

"Alright, you're self-aware!"

Guihu, no, Wei Changhui nodded, but his expression seemed a little regretful,

"If you really have some crooked ideas, I can't tell you how you are. The blonde girl who was with you last time can never escape my palm."

"My relationship with her is not what you think."

Charlotte explained casually, and continued,

"However, if it's business as usual and the deal goes on, can you do me a favor and promote our movie?"

"publicity!?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte nodded, recalling the little plan he made with producer Westwood before the filming started, and glanced at Wei Changhui who was holding Allen's face,

"I need to borrow your current face!"
