Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 51: Mural Painting

Whether it's Jodie Foster, Emily, or Sheldon, although they watched it in different places, they have actually watched "Fatal Turning" once. So, looking at it this time, although they are still very interested in many shots, they pay more attention to other places, trying to find out the shots that were ignored before.

Of course, for those viewers who watched "Fatal Turn" for the first time, this problem does not exist. They are still surprised by the bloody and impactful shots, and exclaimed from time to time.

And Charlotte and Charlize, who were sitting in the last row, were still holding hands, motionless.

"here it is……"

Charlize stretched out her left hand and touched the trees beside her, she couldn't believe that everything in front of her was real——

A moment ago, she was sitting in a movie theater with this man beside her, watching their own movie.

The next moment, they were already in the mountains and forests. This terrain seemed to be the location where they filmed "Fatal Twist", Viers Valley.

Especially not far away, there is an old dilapidated wooden house, which exudes a dark atmosphere, like a tiger ready to choose someone to eat at any time.

Charlize subconsciously wanted to walk towards the cabin, but she didn't want to tighten her right hand. It turned out that Charlotte had been holding her hand since just now.

"I said it before, Sally! Don't let go, or you won't be able to go back!!"

"Can't go back!?"

Charlize's heart trembled, and she suddenly recalled what Charlotte said to herself in the movie theater before. She couldn't help clenching the hand holding Charlotte's left hand a little more.

"So, now it's..."

"This..."

Although she was nervous before, but now Charlotte looks very relaxed,

"Sally, have you ever heard of murals?"

"I do know about the murals."

Charlize couldn't help rolling her eyes. After what happened with Alexis, she had known that Charlotte had this sort of mystique from time to time.

"Whether you want to explain or tell a story, let's start!"

"..."

For a moment, Charlotte had the urge to ask the heaven without words. At this time, he understood more clearly the reason why the old ghost warned him not to seek out acquaintances when he taught him deception.

——Aside from other things, you don't even pick up other people's words, can we still chat happily! ?

In desperation, Charlotte could only speak embarrassingly:

"In ancient China, there was a man named Zhu Xiaolian who stayed in a temple on his way one day, and saw a beautiful mural in the main hall of the temple. There were many beautiful girls in the painting. He admired one of the girls very much. Unconsciously staring at the other party, and then drifting away, I found that I appeared in the world in the painting, and the girl was standing in front of him..."

"Then they go to bed?"

Apparently, Charlize was very interested in the story Charlotte told,

"This story sounds to me, why is it somewhat similar to the story of the person in the painting?"

"Did you mean "One Thousand and One Nights"?"

Charlotte thought about it,

"The hero of that story is a very despicable and cunning guy, and he didn't go into the painting?"

"Maybe I remember wrong!"

Charlize covered her mouth and smiled,

"Please continue!"

"There's no need to talk about it later."

Charlotte shook her head, and lost interest in continuing to tell the story,

"This story is actually similar to the Nankeyimeng story I told you before, because there is a spell hidden in the story."

"Spell? Is it the same as the one I wove the dream before?"

"Somewhat similar, but more dangerous and more powerful!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Sally, didn't you hear any special sounds?"

"sound!?"

Charlize listened carefully, and suddenly felt that besides the slight sound of wind and insects in the woods in front of her, there was another layer of sound lingering in her ears——

That's an exclamation and a sigh from time to time, that's the soundtrack in "Fatal Turns," that's...

Could it be—

"We're actually still in the movie theater!?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte nodded, very satisfied with Charlize's sharp response,

"Our bodies are indeed in that movie theater just now."

"Then we-"

"You can think of it as a soul, or you can think of it as anything else."

Charlotte can't seem to find a good word to describe it,

"In short, our consciousness is also in the cinema now, but only on the screen."

"Painting the wall!?"

Now, Charlize understood a little.

"That's right!"

Charlotte pointed around with her right hand,

"No mural can be more realistic than the projection on the movie screen. Naturally, I can use it to realize the magic in the story of the mural."

"So, we are now in the world of "Fatal Turns" that you created with your spell!?"

"Barely count it!"

Charlotte scratched her head.

"Although it is created here, it is more borrowed from the power of the audience in the movie theater."

"Is it your theory that the power of spells comes from the human heart?"

Charlize pouted,

"Even if you explain it to me, I can't quite understand it."

"You just need to know three things!"

Charlotte held up her right hand, held out a finger,

"First, don't let go of my hand, or if you are trapped in this world, you really won't be able to go back!"

Then he stretched out his second finger,

"Second, the emotions produced by the audience outside watching the movie, whether it is fear or joy, will affect us here."

——How to influence it?

Charlize was about to ask this question, but Charlotte stretched out her third finger again,

"In the end, we must complete all the things we have to do before the end of this movie, otherwise the world will disappear, and all our previous efforts will be in vain."

"Things to do?"

Charlize froze for a moment, then suddenly understood,

"Don't you want to—"

"That's right, seal the mandrill we saw before, Ghost Tiger!"

——Or Wei Changhui.

Charlotte didn't say the name, firstly because there was no need to tell Charlize, and secondly because she didn't want to accidentally wake up her opponent in advance by mentioning her real name.

This time the opponent was far stronger than Alexis's, he had to go all out and not leave any openings.

"The time is almost up!"

Charlotte looked at the watch in her hand, then listened to it, as if she was listening to the reaction of the audience in the cinema outside,

"Let's go to that cabin!"

"Ghost Tiger will appear there!?"

Facing Charlize's guess, Charlotte nodded.

And thinking of the experience that night, even though Charlize was always bold, she couldn't help turning pale.

"But why is he here?"

"Because this is a trap I set long ago."

Charlotte smiled,

"It's also because of the reason why he agreed to my deal in the first place—he wants to become a real mountain god!"

"In the previous premiere, I used the fear that the audience felt when watching the movie as a sacrifice, and I turned him into a real mountain god from the rules."

"Compared to ghosts, gods are stronger and can survive longer, but correspondingly, gods are also more bound by rules—since they accept sacrifices, gods must respond to the sacrificer's request."

"Now, it is the audience in the movie theater outside who sacrifice their fear, and as a director, I can use the camera to drive the audience and let them unconsciously make the demands I want for me!"

Having said that, Charlotte has already taken Charlize's hand and walked outside the cabin,

"My first request is to let the ghost tiger appear here!"

With that said, he pushed open the door.
