Chapter 340: Angels and Demons (Subscription Requested)
Lao Gun's invitation to the actor went well.
Whether it was Keanu Reeves or Al Pacino, they all agreed smoothly.
- Although, according to their schedule, it may not be until around December that they will enter the crew for filming.
However, the preparation of "Hell Detective" originally took a lot of time, which was not a delay.
It was Jodie Foster, who not only readily agreed to star, but also called Charlotte specifically to ask about the script.
- Obviously, the actress not only wants to act, but also wants to invest.
Charlotte didn't object.
- He's going to need to raise some of the money he's not enough anyway!
In short, compared to Charlotte's somewhat difficult second version of the script, the invitation of actors was very smooth.
Even, after reading Charlotte's script, which was being revised, even Alexis was a little interested.
"Can you give me the role of this angel?"
Seeing where Miss Valkyrie was pointing, Charlotte realized that she was actually referring to the boss behind the scenes of the original plan-
Gabriel!
In the original "Detective Hell", this role was played by Tilda Swinton.
Tilda Swinton, among Hollywood actresses, is a very special one.
Other actresses, except for actresses who specialize in comedy such as Melissa McCarthy, mostly have their own style-
The whole of Hollywood is like a huge greenhouse, in which all kinds of "flowers" are cultivated.
Cold, noble, charming, affinity, evil ...... There are all kinds of them, including fairy-like people and typical girls next door, and there are not a few sexy stunners.
However, among them, those who have a tough temperament and have both male and female beauty, or neutral beauty, are very rare.
Because, the degree of this is difficult to grasp. If you are not careful, you will become a "pure master".
For example, "Xiye" Hilary Swank, this is a typical example of playing too many female roles, resulting in the "pure master" aura on her body that cannot be suppressed at all.
In contrast, Cate Blanchett, who became famous for starring in "Elizabeth", is the future "Lord of the Rings" Her Majesty the Elf Queen, but she has a very good combination of tough temperament and feminine beauty.
However, her beauty is still more feminine after all, but under her powerful aura, ordinary people are not aware of it.
Tilda Swinton, on the other hand, does not have such a strong aura, she gives people an overall feeling that is more ethereal and her temperament is more neutral.
This makes her acting path very narrow, but this temperament is very in line with the original definition of "angel"-
After all, according to Christianity, angels are asexual......
In short, the angel Gabriel played by Tilda Swinton can be said to be one of the most successful roles in the original "Hell Detective".
And now, Alexis wants to play that role?
"Are you sure you can play this neutral role?"
Charlotte looked at Alexis with a slight suspicion.
"Neutral!?"
Alexis shook his head,
"The point is not neutral, but the inhuman feeling of angels!"
"You're right. ”
Charlotte nodded.
He admits that he was influenced to some extent by Tilda Swinton's version of Gabriel.
It is true that it is not necessary to be as neutral as Swinton to show the inhuman feeling of an angel, but—
"How are you going to behave?"
Charlotte looked at Alexis with interest,
"Can you put on a show for me?"
"Here?"
Alexis looked around—
At this time, she and Charlotte were both in the office building rented by the Ghost Party Studios on South Beauvais Street, and there were no onlookers nearby.
No way, Charlotte is also the owner of the studio, so she naturally has an independent office.
And Alexis, as the head of the animation and special effects department, also serves as Charlotte's secretary to a certain extent......
In short, the relationship between the two, people in the studio who don't know the inside story of the ghosts feel very ambiguous.
And the old gun, who knew the identity of Alexis' ghost, and the others stayed away from this Valkyrie lady.
As a result, when they get along, others rarely hang around.
So, it's okay for Alexis to perform directly.
"Look at it!"
Since there was no one else around, Alexis simply didn't hide his specialness anymore-
Miss Valkyrie spread her wings directly.
"That's a natural advantage!"
Seeing Alexis's move, Charlotte couldn't help but smash her mouth,
"Valkyries are indeed very similar to angels, and if you pretend to be angels, at least you can save money for special effects. ”
"And that's not all!"
With that, Alexis continued to cast spells. Soon, her hair was shortened and her face changed slightly.
- As a ghost, Miss Valkyrie can control her appearance to a certain extent.
And more importantly, with this change, Alexis's temperament has also changed -
She was originally closer to the feeling of the girl next door, but now she has an extremely ethereal feeling......
"Pretty good!"
Charlotte touched her chin and gave her own assessment
"The neutral feeling may be almost, but that intense ethereal inspiration does give an inhuman feeling, and—"
- Alexis is indeed an angel-like, inhuman being.
In other words, in terms of the realism of the performance, it is impossible for a normal actor to have an advantage over this Valkyrie lady.
"Well, you win, Alexis!"
Looking at Miss Valkyrie, who had become smiling for a moment, Charlotte shrugged.
In fact, Alexis is not the only non-human being who was included in Charlotte's list of actors in "Detective Hell".
As a headless horseman, Rivan Phoenix naturally can't run.
He was cast by Charlotte as the half-demon Balthazar.
Ruifan didn't shirk this.
In fact, he was very interested in being able to act again, especially with his former friend Keanu Reeves......
"Why don't we just pull Johnny into this show!"
Rivan even came up with the idea.
"Let you, the Three Musketeers, gather?"
Charlotte shook her head,
"It's a good idea, but with Depp's current status, he can't play a supporting role, and it's possible to make a cameo, but who can he make a cameo?"
"How about Billman, who prepared all kinds of equipment and props for Konstantin?"
Alexis, who had read the script, came up with an idea on the side.
"That's fine. ”
Charlotte nodded,
"Then let's invite Depp to make a cameo appearance in the role of Bieman! By the way, if we can, Rivan-"
Charlotte looked at Raven Phoenix,
"Do you see if you can take the opportunity to make Reeves and Depp accept the "reality" of this world?"
