Chatty Hollywood

Charlotte is unaware of the existence of FBI agent Kate Todd.

Kate had seen his photos during the investigation of the Vials Valley series of cases, but the two had never had personal contact.

——In other words, the detective lady knows him, but he does not know him.

At this time, he was explaining his purpose to Charlize, who had come with him.

"...So, what you said before about coming to visit the frightened investors and taking the opportunity to win a contract for me to be the heroine of the new movie are all lies?"

There's something evil about Charlize's face star.

"Of course it's not fake."

Charlotte explained again,

"This is originally one of the purposes of our visit this time, but at the same time, I also want to check the possibility of ghosts appearing around our investor lady."

"Yeah?"

Charlize's eyes were suspicious.

"Of course. Have you forgotten that we said before that Jodie Foster has the kind of physique that can easily be possessed by ghosts?"

"All right!"

Charlize finally accepted Charlotte's statement,

"But why now?"

"Because something happened!"

Charlotte looked as if it was natural.

"The police always arrive after the fact, so how can I, an exorcist, go earlier?"

"..."

Staring at Charlotte with an already practiced dead fish eye, Charlize continued to ask,

"Are you so sure that this incident was caused by ghosts?"

"Of course - not sure."

Charlotte's words made Charlize not know what to say,

"But as soon as I received the call from Westwood, my instinct told me that there was something wrong here!"

"Men have intuition too!?"

"...Sally, you are sexist!"

"so what?"

"...ahem"

Charlotte pretended to cough twice before continuing,

"Anyway, I think there may be a problem here. It just so happens that I'm about to prepare the second version of the script for "Happy Death Day," so..."

"So just a few things to do together?"

Charlize understood Charlotte's thoughts, but——

"Even if what you say makes sense, why do I feel like you are using me as an excuse?"

"That's an illusion."

"……All right."

After looking at Charlotte a few more times, Charlize decided not to dwell on this issue anymore.

"But how are you going to check if there are any ghosts around her? Don't tell me to throw salt at her?"

——Sprinkling salt was a method Charlotte used to find out Alexis, who was still a resentful spirit when she first met Charlize.

"It's also a way."

Charlotte held her chin and thought about it.

"However, if you do this directly, your heroine will probably fly away."

"Does this need to be said?"

Charlize felt that she had become more and more accustomed to the dead fish eyes, which was not good news.

——Every time I am with this guy, my whole style will collapse!

She usually presents herself with a cold image, and her usual expression is like a thorn rose with frost on its petals, but as soon as she starts talking to Charlotte, the girl feels that her persona will collapse at any time.

"Anyway, let me observe it first!"

On the other side, Charlotte is still thinking about how to find out about Jodie Foster.

"If you really think there is a problem, it's better to tell the truth."

"be honest!?"

"yes!"

Charlotte thought the girl's reaction was a bit strange;

"If there is really a problem, I can't solve it without telling her, right?"

"……you're right."

That's what it says,

But for some reason, Charlize always felt empty in her heart.

At this moment, the girl couldn't help but hope that what Jodie Foster would meet was just a simple and fanatical perverted fan...

***********

"So, you just drove that FBI agent away?"

Listening to Jodie Foster's introduction, Charlize didn't know if she should feel sorry for the agent.

Now, the four of them - including Charlize and Charlotte, Judy and her assistant Anna - are sitting in the hotel cafe, discussing the script of "Happy Death Day".

Although when facing Kate, Judy said that she needed to rest, it was obviously just an excuse.

At least after seeing Charlotte's carefully revised script, the actress, who seemed dejected just a moment ago because she was a fan of a perverted killer, immediately became energetic.

"It seems that successful people always have their reasons for success."

Even though his character is also full of spikes, Charlize has to give in to Judy, whose nerves are as strong as steel bars.

However, Judy cannot be classified as a tomboy because of this. Not to mention that the image does not match her, but she has a lot of feminine delicacy and sensitivity.

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have driven away the FBI directly because of the psychological shadow of the Hinckley incident!"

Of course, Charlize could only mutter this in her heart.

And the reason why I am talking about this is actually because of Charlotte——

It's not that Charlotte asked any strange questions, but this guy actually fell asleep sitting down after walking into the coffee shop and drinking half a cup of coffee.

"Is caffeine a sleep aid for you!?"

Charlize really didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, this guy didn't snore, drool or any other very inappropriate behavior, and his eyes were half-open, so it looked like that.

In addition, Jodie Foster was still looking down at the script of "Happy Death Day" at the time, and her assistant Anna was in a trance, so Charlize did not wake him up immediately.

And when the other party finished reading the script and Charlize was about to wake up the sleeping god next to him, the actress burst into laughter.

"Forget it, let him sleep!"

——So you saw it!

"Mr. Director, he must have stayed up too late at night to catch up on the script, and now he can't hold on anymore when he relaxes, right?"

Charlize could only nodded awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter. I'm satisfied with the script anyway, so I don't mind asking."

After saying that, Judy turned her eyes to Charlize, looking more interested in her.

"In contrast, Sally, I want to know more. He brought you here because he wanted you to be the heroine of the new movie, right?"

"this……"

That was the purpose, and Charlize could only admit it with a nod.

"I've seen your performance in "Fatal Turn". It was good, but your expressions were lacking."

Commenting on her acting skills, Judy suddenly became in high spirits.

"And the heroine Cui of "Happy Death Day" needs a completely different kind of acting skills, or should I say, Yan Yi? Do you think you can do it?"

"certainly!"

Although she was not very sure in her heart, the stubborn Charlize would never admit defeat when faced with doubts in person.

She immediately turns her attention away from the sleeping Charlotte and debates Jodie Foster. The momentum was a bit like Don Quixote rushing towards a windmill.

--Yes, that's it, Sally!

The corner of Charlotte's mouth twitched slightly.

He wanted to laugh, but held it back.

There are more important things now!
