Chapter 358: A Story That Begins with Hair

Angela, played by Judy, is a policewoman.

She has an uncanny instinct to always spot a prisoner at a critical moment and shoot him.

As a police officer, this is certainly an amazing ability.

But on the other hand, it also caused great psychological pressure on Angela.

After all, even if the United States does not ban guns, but after so many years of peace, everyone is not very comfortable with such things as shooting and killing.

At the very least, within the police, every time they encounter a shooting, whether they are beaten or beaten, as long as they are alive, they must receive psychological counseling afterwards.

And the type like Angela who shoots and kills prisoners when he has nothing to do is going to become a frequent visitor to psychiatrists.

Even if you don't have any mental problems, the psychiatrist will create some problems for you.

What's more, Angela is also a relatively devout Catholic.

The problem of faith further increased her psychological pressure.

Therefore, Angela's first appearance was in the confessional room of the church, confessing her sins.

Of course, for the average viewer who has not really experienced the feeling of killing, there may be people who will understand it as a kind of show-off.

However, because she previously played the female FBI detective Clarice Staling in "The Silence of the Lambs", Jodie Foster understands this feeling very well.

So, she did a great job on the shoot.

Charlotte, as the director, didn't shout a word of "cut", so she let her play one by one.

The next scene requires her and Charlize Theron to collaborate

Angela, played by Judy, receives the news that her sister Isabel has committed suicide.

In the morgue of the police station, she meets Isabelle, played by Charlize.

The latter, of course, lie quietly, playing the role of a corpse.

In order not to show the feeling of a living person, the makeup artist also deliberately applied some powder to Charlize's body to reflect the paleness of that corpse.

And Jodie Foster is emotionally charged with the role of an older sister who has just lost her sister.

The appearance of two delicate-faced blonde beauties on the same screen at the same time is really a pleasing feeling.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Charlotte sighed in her heart as she watched Jodie Foster's performance.

In "Hell Detective" in his original world, the two roles of Angel and Isabel were played by Rachel Weisz alone.

In this way, one person plays two roles, which can indeed reflect the similarity between twin sisters to the greatest extent.

It's the same person!

However, there are many inconveniences

First of all, once two characters need to be on the same screen, one character will inevitably need to use a double or dummy.

Even though it was possible to compose the image with technology in post, overall, it still didn't feel right.

At least now, when special effects compositing technology is not very mature, most directors will try to avoid this kind of shot, or blur one of them.

In short, not very convenient.

At the same time, the appearance of the two characters is too similar, which may also lead to misunderstandings among the audience and the inability to distinguish who is who.

Like Charlotte in the original world, when she watched "Hell Detective" for the first time, she encountered such a problem

At the beginning, he couldn't tell the difference between Angela and Isabe, and confused the two, which led to him being a little vague about the development of the plot for the first twenty minutes.

It was this experience before crossing that made Charlotte decide to shoot "Hell Detective" when she finally decided to give the two roles of Angel and Isabel to two people, instead of one person playing two roles.

This makes it easier for the audience to understand the story of the film.

In particular, both Charlize and Jodie Foster are delicate blonde beauties.

After the magic of the magical creature makeup artist, it is still very easy to form the similar but different feeling of fraternal twin sisters.

Although Charlize is a little taller than the tiny Judy, this is not a problem given that the two are not standing together.

What's more, when it comes to CP with Keanu Reeves, Jodie Foster is a head above Rachel Weisz.

It's not a metaphysical problem like chemistry between actors.

If that's the problem, then the one who has the most chemistry with Reeves at the moment should be Sandra Bullock.

Since the release of "Speed of Life and Death", these two have become a very popular on-screen couple by the audience.

Many viewers are looking forward to the two working together again.

However, Charlotte was unable to meet the audience's expectations.

Not only because Sandra Bullock has no schedule, but also because so far, the actress's acting skills and image can only play some silly big sister type roles.

Although this image can be said to be the favorite of American audiences, it does not conform to Angela's character in "Hell Detective".

Because according to the setting of the script, this policewoman actually has a strong psychic talent.

Her character is supposed to be strong, sensitive, and somewhat neurotic.

This is completely beyond the scope of Sandra Bullock's current acting skills can support, but it is very much in line with the character of Agent Clarice played by Jodie Foster in "The Silence of the Lambs".

That's why Charlotte finally gave the role to Jodie Foster.

And he said that the CP feeling between Judy and Keanu Reeves is more than that of Rachel Weisz, for a very simple reason.

It's a matter of hair color contrast and difference

Unlike the Chinese film and television industry, which is full of black hair, so everyone basically does not consider the contrast of hair color, in the European and American film and television circles, directors always like to use hair color to express some basic lens language and make some comparisons.

So in general, the hair color of the hero and heroine, when possible, often does not choose a color system.

Often, one is dark black or brown, and the other is bright gold or red.

In this way, when the two appear in the picture at the same time, especially when they are engaged in kiss scenes and other scenes with a high intimacy, the beauty and contrast will be stronger.

Like Rachel Weisz's most famous work "The Mummy", the contrast between her hair color and that of the actor Brandon Fisher is like this.

But in the original version of "Hell Detective", the male and female protagonists Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz both have dark hair.

In addition, the whole "Hell Detective" has a darker tone, which begins to challenge the color recognition ability of the audience's eyes.

Just like in "Transformers 2", most of them are silver-gray crazy robots, after watching it for a long time, the audience will have a sense of chaos.

Of course, just the hair color problem will not have too serious an effect.

What's more, there is still the technique of hair dyeing.

But considering the question of whether the new screen image can be smoothly accepted by the audience after changing the hair color, Charlotte still feels that many times, the screen image is blonde Jodie Foster is more suitable.
