Chatty Hollywood

"Happy Death Day" is a new horror movie released in 2017 before Charlotte traveled through time.

This movie also uses the infinite loop mode of "Groundhog Day", but it is much more cheerful than "Terror Cruise", which is also in the horror film genre.

To put it simply, this is a horror comedy with a female protagonist.

The heroine, Tree, is a—well, according to girls—a bitchy girl. Of course, she is very beautiful.

She was killed on her birthday, and then woke up the morning of the murder over and over again, experiencing it over and over again.

In this repetitive process, she worked hard to track down her murderer and gradually changed herself...

"This is simply the movie that best suits my needs!"

Charlotte thought to herself——

First of all, this is also a film with an infinite loop setting. The heroine dies and lives again, lives and dies again, to satisfy her need to help Alexis transform her life force;

Secondly, the heroine of this movie has obvious personality changes before and after, which is very suitable for Charlize and Alexis to play respectively. Each has its own characteristics, yet it is the same person;

In the end, this is a movie with a happy ending, good reviews and box office, and it meets Charlotte's own needs.

"Just shoot this!"

Charlotte was determined.

What happens after that is very simple——

He first briefly introduced the basic plot design of "Happy Death Day" to Charlize and Alexis. After obtaining the consent of one person and one ghost, he immediately retreated and began his journey to attack the script.

Then the one who was disturbed by him was Lao Qiang...

"If I were to shoot that script, I think the chances of success would be quite high. But——"

Lao Qiang glanced at Charlize, who was still chatting with Annika.

"From what you're saying, you want Sally to be the heroine, right?"

Seeing Charlotte nod, Lao Qiang continued:

"Her acting skills are pretty good among her peers, and her appearance is even more outstanding. But the problem is, according to the script, the heroine is a bitchy girl with rich expressions. Are you sure she's the right one?"

In Lao Qiang's opinion, although Charlize's acting skills are okay, he has a big shortcoming, that is, his facial expressions are not rich enough.

This problem can be said to be a common problem among actresses who have transformed from models, and is a legacy of their professional habits as models. Lao Qiang has been a casting director for many years and knows this very well.

Originally, this problem was neither small nor big, but Charlize's temperament was very cold, coupled with her slightly stiff expression...

"Anyway, if you listen to me, I think it's best not to let her play that mean girl type role. Not suitable."

Lao Qiang made his own judgment.

"I've thought about this before."

Of course, Charlotte also understood that Charlize's temperament was actually not suitable for this role. But the problem is, if Charlize doesn't star, then Alexis, who is attached to her, can't star either. Then wouldn't the original creative significance of this script be completely lost?

“That would put the cart before the horse.”

With no other choice, the director had no choice but to think about whether there was any way to make his pre-determined heroine perform exceptionally well——

"It's actually very simple. Just let Alexis be her golden finger! Anyway, the original plan was for them to play different stages of their roles separately."

However, this kind of surreal reason cannot be explained to Lao Qiang. And Charlize, who has a strong self-esteem, may not necessarily be able to accept this approach that is close to cheating.

"I think Charlize still has potential in this area."

In desperation, Charlotte had no choice but to support her heroine.

"Actually, don't you think she rolls her eyes and glares at people?

Are they all vivid? "

"Forehead……"

This is true, and Lao Qiang cannot refute it.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why Charlize quickly broke away from the rigidity of the model in these two expressions was thanks to Charlotte——

"Staying next to that guy, the world view will be shattered and reshaped every two or three days. Anyone else would roll their eyes and stare at him like crazy!"

Charlize once explained to Alexis why she likes to use these two expressions more and more...

In any case, after Charlotte expressed her support for Charlize, Old Gun gave up his doubts.

It’s not that he can’t see the special relationship between Charlize and Charlotte. Since actresses have become directors' muse, there is nothing wrong with receiving preferential treatment. What's more, according to the script of "Happy Death Day", this is not a drama that focuses on acting.

"It's really not good at acting. At worst, I just need to NG a few more times!"

Lao Qiang thought to himself.

"What about the actors in other roles? What are your plans?"

"The others haven't thought about it yet and have been busy catching up on scripts these days."

Charlotte scratched her head,

"But what do you think about the script, if we ask Bill Murray to play the father of the heroine Cui?"

"You guy..."

Lao Qiang also watched "Groundhog Day", so he immediately guessed Charlotte's plan——

"You want to deliberately mislead those viewers who have watched "Groundhog Day" into thinking that the heroine Cui in "Happy Death Day" is the daughter of the hero Phil in "Groundhog Day", right? ?”

"Bingo!"

Charlotte hit Lao Qiang on the shoulder,

"I said we should cooperate! Look, what a tacit understanding!"

"……roll!"

"Actually, this is just a gimmick!"

Seeing that Lao Qiang was not cooperating, Charlotte also put away the joking expression on her face.

"For viewers who have not seen "Groundhog Day," this will have no impact at all. But for viewers who have seen "Groundhog Day," this will give them a wonderful experience - the most important thing is, Don’t you think this is fun?”

"The last sentence is your main purpose, right?"

"certainly!"

Charlotte admitted frankly,

"Being in charge of a guide tube is inherently stressful. If you can no longer find some fun in your work, wouldn't your life become very miserable?"

"What you said seems to make sense."

Seeing Lao Qiang nodding in agreement, Charlotte continued,

"Also, I have always felt that if you want the audience to find your movie interesting, you must first find your movie interesting. If even the director finds your movie boring, then who will want to watch it?"

——Yes, it is also work. Instead of being nervous, why not relax and enjoy the fun of work?

Lao Qiang's mental pressure suddenly relaxed.

"In that case, let's also identify the heroine's mother - how about Andie MacDowell?"

"The heroine of Groundhog Day?"

Charlotte chuckled,

"Old gun, you've figured it out too! It's a pity that we can't directly say that our movie is the sequel to "Groundhog Day"..."

——No, this is not a pity at all!

Lao Qiang complained secretly in his heart.
