Chatty Hollywood

? “So, I have become a ghost now?”

After listening to Charlotte's introduction, Mr. Westwood concluded thoughtfully,

"And you are a master of magic. The success of our previous movies is not only the result of talent and hard work, but also related to magic and ghosts?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"What, is it a bit unacceptable?"

"how come?"

Mr. Westwood smiled heartily,

"In Hollywood, successful people will be sought after. Who cares how you succeed! Rather, the fantasy elements of magic and weirdness make me feel more at ease."

"Don't worry? Why!?"

"Because although these things are unrealistic, they are much more reliable than illusory things like talent and talent!"

Mr. Westwood said simply,

"This way, I don't have to worry about the day when your talent will run out and you will no longer be able to serve as the banner of Spectre Studio!"

"So, this is actually a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing!"

Mr. Westwood affirmed,

"In this way, spells and ghosts have become the unique skills of our Spectre studio - no one thinks that there are too many unique skills to settle down in Hollywood."

"That does make sense."

Charlotte looked at Mr. Westwood who was in a ghost state,

"But, old Tony, did you accept it too quickly!?"

"What if you don't accept it!?"

Mr. Westwood smiled bitterly,

"you need to know,

If I were still alive and heard what you just said, I would most likely need to take medicine immediately and call the emergency hotline. But now I don’t have any problems. Doesn’t this explain the problem enough? "

"...Okay, your method of judgment is a bit novel!"

Charlotte sighed;

"But before you think about taking medicine, shouldn't you think about how you got into the house first?"

"yes!"

Mr. Westwood suddenly realized,

"I came in directly through the wall!"

——At this time, more than two hours had passed since Charlotte saw Mr. Westwood’s ghost.

During this period, they not only returned to the office building of Spectre Studio, but Charlotte took the lead and explained the secrets of Spectre Studio to Mr. Westwood.

——After all, because Mr. Westwood joined late, there was no chance to tell him about spells and ghosts.

But now that Mr. Westwood has become a ghost, there is no need to hide anything anymore.

As for these things that sound very unrealistic, Mr. Westwood accepts them very quickly.

However, after accepting it, the next question came——

"What should I do next?"

Mr Westwood asked,

“Can I still make movies and TV shows after becoming a ghost?”

"this……"

Charlotte didn't know what to say for a moment, while the old gun on the side sighed with admiration,

"Old Tony, it seems that even death can't stop your love for movies!"

"Of course!"

Mr. Westwood said proudly,

"After filming "The Turn", I made up my mind to make movies until I die - now that I can continue to exist after death, I naturally don't want to give up movies."

"If you don't give up, then don't give up!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"However, in your pure ghost state, it is a little difficult for you to continue the work of the previous producer. Just letting the employees see you is more troublesome - I need to transform you into a ghost!"

"Transformed into a ghost!? Like Alexis?"

Mr. Westwood pointed to Miss Valkyrie aside.

——When Charlotte explained the inside story to him, she naturally also explained the current situation of ghost employees in the company.

Therefore, Mr. Westwood reacted immediately.

"It's similar!"

Charlotte nodded,

"However, you can't transform into Valkyrie - in fact, Alexis was able to complete the transformation of Valkyrie because of a lot of luck. Ordinary ghosts can't transform into such a powerful and powerful one. A ghost with a physical sense, and being able to transform into the Headless Horseman like River Phoenix is ​​already pretty awesome.”

"Then what kind of ghost are you going to transform me into?"

Mr. Westwood paid little attention to Charlotte's explanation;

"For me, as long as I can continue my previous work, I don't want any strong power."

"You are so direct!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly,

"In that case, I'll simply transform you into an earthbound spirit!"

"Earthbound spirit?"

"To put it simply, it is a special ghost that lives on a piece of land or a building."

Charlotte explained,

"This is a kind of ghost from the east, a powerful earth-bound spirit, which can even be called an earth god - although it is difficult for them to leave the land or building they rely on, they are like real people within the area of ​​the land or building. And it has very good power.”

"That sounds good!"

Mr. Westwood nodded.

"But which building are you going to let me rely on? The office building of Spectre's studio!?"

"Yes."

"Doesn't that mean I can't go to other places in the future? How can I work as a producer?"

"It's not like I absolutely can't go to other places."

Charlotte waved her hand,

"I can make special props, which contain the soil of the land you rely on, plus the effects of some spells. You can still leave temporarily. However, you must come back within 72 hours at most!"

"What will happen if you don't come back?"

asked Mr. Westwood inquiringly.

"Nothing will happen."

Charlotte shook her head;

"The problem is that you have to come back! - After 72 hours, no matter where you are, you will be automatically summoned back to the land of possession, just like in the game, the character returns to the resurrection spawn point after death."

"That sounds good!"

Mr. Westwood smiled;

"At least I can save a lot of money on the return flight!"

"That's true!"

Charlotte scratched her head, while Charlize, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly thought of a question——

"Charlotte, according to the magic theory you taught me before, in order to create an earthbound spirit, doesn't it mean that living people must be buried in the foundation during the construction of the building?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"In traditional Eastern magic, the creation of earthbound spirits, especially those attached to buildings, is essentially a form of human sacrifice, which is very cruel. However, with the development of magic nowadays, many ritualistic In fact, as long as you try to get the things together, you don’t necessarily need to comply with them completely.”

As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders,

"In the final analysis, in the past, the method of creating earthbound spirits through human sacrifice was essentially a painful process to transform the souls of living people into ghosts, and then into ghosts."

"However, it turns out that the act of pain has no special additive effect on the transformation of living souls into ghosts - so the generation of earthbound spirits still depends on luck."

"And now, Mr. Westwood's ghost has completed this step of transformation, so we don't have to work hard anymore."

"After that, we just need to find a way to sink his body into the foundation of the building to help him complete his transformation into an earthbound spirit."

"In this regard, Ruifan, the headless horseman who is good at sneaking underground, can just help us!"
