Chapter 357: A Troubled Beauty
Unlike Depp, who subconsciously blocked the memories of ghosts because of fear, Jodie Foster was looking forward to seeing real ghosts during filming.
From this point of view, Miss Actress is indeed very bold.
Although she suffered a lot because of ghosts and spells during the previous skin painting incident, she had the idea of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away.
But a woman's curiosity is sometimes a very wonderful existence.
As time passed, the fear slowly subsided, and now Judy even wanted to see the wonderful ghosts.
- Provided, of course, that you don't get hurt.
This is actually the reason why she immediately agreed to Charlotte's invitation as soon as she received it.
- If you want to safely watch ghosts and find excitement, it is naturally most convenient to follow a powerful exorcist like Charlotte.
On the other hand, Judy also wants to use the cooperation with Charlotte to enhance her business appeal.
You must know that although she has won the Oscars twice, when it comes to pure box office appeal, she is not much better than actresses such as Meg Ryan, who mainly focus on the business field.
Like Julia Roberts, an actress who focuses on chick movies and can put aside men and play the box office independently, Judy's commercial appeal is beyond Judy's reach.
So, after getting the golden man for the second time through "The Silence of the Lambs", Judy began to transform into the business field.
But the problem is that Judy's appearance is more exquisite, not the type of girl next door that American audiences like the most, nor is it a big American girl.
Although her appearance is in line with the aesthetics of the Oscar judges, to the average American audience, she is not as relatable as Julia Roberts's big mouth.
This makes her unable to form a unique charm and brand in the female-dominated film genre of chick movies.
Coupled with "The Silence of the Lambs", especially after meeting Charlotte, there was a wave of explosion in her career as a producer.
- This has taken a lot of her energy.
As a result, as of 1996, Judy, as a female star, still has not formed a strong enough box office appeal in the field of commercial films.
Although as a double Oscar-winning actress, her salary is not low, and her box office appeal is not inferior to other first-line actresses, but it is far from reaching the feeling of seeing everyone at a glance in the field of acting.
Especially because she has starred in famous thriller movies many times before, her image is even somewhat solidified in the eyes of the audience.
- This is very detrimental to her development in the field of chick films, which are mainly for female audiences.
Of course, Judy doesn't have to act in a chick movie.
But the problem is that in other genre films, her development is not very smooth.
It can be said that after the second lockdown, Judy's career as an actor has obviously encountered a bottleneck in her career-
In terms of acting awards, she has reached the extreme that an actress can achieve.
Unless you want to learn from Katharine Hepburn, who has been crowned four times in her life, this is how Judy's achievements at the Oscars will be.
But was Catherine the Great so studious?
Not to mention that the times are completely different, just the fact that Katharine Hepburn dared to beat Howard Hughes is beyond the reach of ordinary actresses.
In a way, Catherine the Great was a real man.
Anyway, Jodie Foster is ashamed of herself.
As for the field of commercial films, Judy has always been in a state of not being up or down.
Although it will not slip out of the line, it is impossible to surpass others and form its own unique box office appeal like Julia Roberts.
And the point is, Judy is now 34 years old.
Unlike male stars who "only burst out at thirty and bloom at forty-one flowers", in Hollywood, female stars may take a back seat at any time as soon as they reach the age of forty.
At least, the most suitable for them at that time was the role of mother and the like.
The heroines of many movies will no longer choose actresses over forty years old.
- This can be said to be determined by the menstrual cycle of men and women, and even Jodie Foster cannot stop the power of natural aging.
Of course, hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin may be able to stop it, but the question is, do you still want to act well with such a zombie face?
Although with Judy's current status in the Hollywood circle and the development prospects of her "egg" company, even if she is no longer acting, she can still earn a lot of money and become one of the most powerful women in Hollywood.
But as an actor, Judy, who is actually very proud in her heart, is a little unwilling.
She hopes to be able to be unique in the field of commercial films.
This is the deep reason why she took the contract for the heroine of "Hell Detective"-
Because she is familiar with Charlotte Booth, she believes that the other party can bring her a classic commercial movie, and then enhance her box office appeal.
For this reason, Judy even turned down the invitation for a sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs", and did not care too much about the salary.
- Of course, after the "Painted Skin Incident", she really didn't have a good impression of the movie "The Silence of the Lambs".
And for now, Judy feels the price she paid is worth it.
At least, just watching the rivalry between Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp in the past, Judy feels that there is a great hope of success.
In particular, Charlotte also vaguely hinted that some scenes between the two were filmed to serve some female audiences.
Although Judy didn't fully understand the meaning, as a gender woman and a woman who loves women, she can still see that the rivalry between Reeves and Depp will definitely interest many female audiences.
After all, these two people, plus the dead Rivan Phoenix, are Hollywood's well-known three friends.
And speaking of Raven Phoenix......
Judy had heard Charlotte and Charlize joke in a whisper, saying that this time it was a time to get Keanu and Depp together.
Does this mean thatβ
Judy guessed, but she couldn't see anything wrong with the part she was shooting so far.
"No, I can't say it's all right. γ
Judy thought for a moment,
"At least whether it's Depp or Reeves, their acting skills seem to be a layer higher than usual!"
Although Keanu Reeves Judy is not familiar with her, because she is friends with Winona, Johnny Depp's acting skills Judy still knows,
"Could it be that filming with Charlotte will explode in acting skills?"
Judy secretly doubted,
"Maybe I should go to Charlotte and ask about it, anyway, he didn't hide it from me about painting the skin before......
Of course, Judy's main job at present is to play the heroine in "Hell Detective" -
Angela!
