Chatty Hollywood

"But in this way, don't you have an advantage in making movies?"

After listening to Charlotte's explanation, Charlize suddenly had a brain hole,

"As long as you hypnotize the audience in your own movie and make them think it's a good movie, won't the movie's reputation be good?"

"How can things be so simple!?"

Charlotte smiled wryly and shook her head,

"If it was really that simple, then many hypnotist masters would have been wealthy long ago. Don't talk about hypnotizing a rich man who directly gives money to himself, just find a Wall Street boss to hypnotize him, and let him have something that will definitely make money Call yourself when the opportunity arises, won't you have no worries about food and clothing?"

"Hey, can't it be possible!?"

"What strange fantasies do you have about hypnotism!?"

With a rich imagination for Charlize, Charlotte didn't know what to say for a while,

"Hypnosis is essentially a strengthening of a person's subconscious mind. It cannot greatly violate the person's own wishes, and the effect is even less likely to last, so it is not very meaningful in real life—otherwise, why do you think I am here?" The explanation on the poster is because if the time between watching the first time and the second time is too long, the hypnotic effect will be greatly weakened, and my trick will not work."

"So it is! What a pity!"

Charlize looked regretful,

"However, I think there are some people whose hypnotic effect seems to last for a long time? Like Judy—"

Yes, at the end of the second screening of Wrong Turn, Charlize and Charlotte in the back row also saw Jodie Foster in disguise, but this time Judy didn't see it them.

She seemed to be still recalling certain scenes in the movie, with a little surprise on her face. This makes Charlize suddenly realize that she must also see the ghost played by Alexis.

"I remember the premiere scene. Judy probably didn't come, that is to say, the last time she watched "Fatal Turn" was when she watched the sample film..."

"It's not impossible, although it's rare."

Charlotte pondered for a while before continuing,

"For some people with subconscious memory, or simply say that the subconscious itself is particularly powerful, the duration of this hypnotic effect will indeed be much longer. In fact, these people are the favorite objects of ghosts."

"Ghost possessed!?"

Charlize couldn't help but think of Alexis.

"Yeah, not only living people, ghosts also like big houses!"

Charlotte's words seemed to be irrelevant, but Charlize still understood what he meant.

"You said before that the possession of ghosts all interferes with the meaning through the subconscious mind. A strong subconscious mind means—"

"Easier to be controlled by possessed ghosts!"

Charlotte nodded.

"Why do you think that according to what you say, Judy seems to be in trouble at any time?"

"It shouldn't be."

Charlotte felt that the conclusions drawn by Charlize were somewhat arbitrary,

"In this day and age, meeting ghosts is not easy at all."

"These words come out of your mouth, but they are not convincing at all."

Charlize rolled her eyes, her face full of disbelief. And Charlotte recalled her experience of more than half a year after traveling, and had to admit,

"……You're right!"

*************

Charlotte's home was not much different from the last time Charlize came. The furnishings are simple, and there is still a worn-out carpet on the floor.

"so tired!"

As soon as she entered the door, Charlize kicked off her shoes and lay down on the carpet. That way, it can definitely be described as "a beautiful body", and because of watching two midnight movies in a row, it brings a lazy style,

Charlotte swallowed unconsciously.

"Are you going to lie down on the bed first?"

"What? You still want to do something to me!?"

Charlize squinted at Charlotte, who was still standing at the door, with disdain in her words.

When Charlotte just returned from that mysterious world of murals, Charlotte invited Charlize to stay at his house for a few days, which really made the blond girl's brain shut down a bit. But after Charlotte's explanation, the hormone in the girl's body immediately turned into cholesterol again.

"Didn't you say that you are afraid that I will have some aftereffects after returning from that painting space, so you want to take a close look at it?"

Charlize had the expression of a patient who was unwilling to be hospitalized,

"Now, watch!"

"this……"

Looking at the alluring curves of the blonde girl, Charlotte couldn't help swallowing again. But listening to the other party's tone, he also knew that no matter whether he chose to be a beast or not as good as a beast, he would probably cause the other party's dissatisfaction.

——Unfortunately, the timing is wrong!

"I just wanted to tell you that the rug was dirty - I was so busy before the movie came out that I didn't clean it."

Mr. Director finally decided to play dumb.

"...Didn't you say it earlier!?"

Charlize jumped to his feet.

Obviously, being more lenient than self-discipline and being strict with talents is the value of ordinary people. Although Charlize is a collection of dirty and messy things, she cannot tolerate Charlotte's dirty carpet because of this.

************

"Speaking of which, Alexis hasn't made any sound since she came back from there. Did something happen?"

After a while, Charlize asked with some concern.

At this time, she was sitting comfortably cross-legged on Charlotte's bed, while the latter was preparing to make the floor.

There is no way, because there are very few people visiting, Charlotte's apartment does not have sofas and the like at all. Today, Charlize was suddenly invited to stay, so he could only choose to be with the carpet.

"Probably sleeping!"

While putting the quilt away, Charlotte answered Charlize's question,

"In the painted wall world, she absorbed a lot of ghost tiger's power, and then I released it all at once. This will definitely cause a certain loss-for ghosts, it needs to rely on dormancy to recover."

"How long will you sleep for?"

Charlize was obviously worried.

"That's not so clear."

Charlotte spread out her hands, expressing that she was helpless,

"However, it shouldn't be too long."

"……All right."

Although I really want to have a good chat with Charlotte about what happened tonight, but after all, I have watched two midnight shows, and the time is almost 4 o'clock in the morning. Without knowing it, Charlize fell asleep on the bed.

As for Charlotte, he was not much better than Charlize. Although, as a perennial night owl, he was able to stay up better than Charlize, he couldn't last longer after covering a sleeping girl with a blanket.

"It's time to clean it up!"

Lying on the dusty carpet, Charlotte thought drowsily. Then, after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt his body sink.

Opening his eyes, he saw that Charlize was sitting straddling his waist, with long blond hair drooping, making it difficult to see his expression clearly. The girl raised her hands high, and she was holding a sharp knife in her hand. The tip of the knife was shining with a little cold light, and it was facing Charlotte's throat.
