Of course, no matter how suitable Charlotte is in Charlize's eyes to play John Constantine, he will not play it.

On the one hand, he is not very confident in his acting skills.

After all, directing someone else's acting and acting yourself are actually two different feelings.

Charlotte has always felt that it is often difficult to achieve an effective balance between directing and acting.

If it's a low-budget movie and there's nothing else in it, he can try it.

But in a commercial film with a big investment like "Hell Detective", he still didn't dare to make this attempt.

What's more, he also plans to use this movie to deal with the famous Count Dracula and the unknown ghost.

In this case, Charlotte felt that she was more suitable to be a director and a behind-the-scenes man, rather than jumping directly to the front of the stage.

As a result, how to train Keanu Reeves' acting skills became a problem.

Charlotte studied for a long time, and finally decided to work with Aziva Gossman, who was sent by Warner and was more familiar with the original "Constantine".

- Keanu Reeves must be allowed to perform the real John Constantine feeling on the premise of ensuring his own charm.

Keanu Reeves didn't know that the entire crew of "Hell Detective", from the director to the screenwriter, was not very confident in whether he could play Konstantin well.

Of course, Reeves also knows that his acting skills are not very good, after all, film critics say this every year, month after month, and every day.

It can be said that after so many years in Hollywood, he has long been accustomed to the evaluation of "no acting skills".

He did not deny this evaluation, nor did he break the jar and give up the pursuit of acting.

However, his mentality is very good.

- If your acting skills are not good, then act in more movies and continue to hone them.

Sooner or later, I will practice it!

Regarding the question of whether he can continue to receive good movies, Reeves has a kind of confidence in fascination.

And so it is.

At least, from the release of "Life and Death" until now, Keanu Reeves has never lacked film appointments.

Although there are no classics born among them, it is not without good ones.

At least, in the "Devil's Advocate" played against Al Pacino, Keanu felt good about himself.

Even though his performance in this movie is still evaluated by film critics as "completely face-dependent", he can still feel a lot of progress himself.

For Keanu, a young man who believes in Buddhism and is a true Buddhist, this is already very good.

What's more, he also made friends with Al Pacino because of this, and the box office performance of this movie was really good.

"Although, it's really not as good as "Guillotine Valley" and "The Sixth Sense" ......"

The former was the North American box office champion of the year in 1995.

The latter, the total box office in North America reached a staggering 350 million dollars.

- Although "Independence Day" has a more violent box office momentum in the first week of release, the overall box office curve is not as stable as "The Sixth Sense". This resulted in it ultimately not surpassing the total box office results of "The Sixth Sense".

Now, unless there is any dark horse, "The Sixth Sense" has basically locked in the 1996 North American annual box office champion......

Of course, Keanu isn't really the kind of person who likes to compare.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that his "Sirius" band's performance level was amateur at all, and he would have been happy to pay out of his own pocket to tour everywhere.

- Despite his love of rock and drag racing, Reeves is still a Buddhist young man, and he still enjoys the process.

Therefore, when he mentioned "Guillotine Valley" and "The Sixth Sense", it was not for comparison, but to convince himself -

Charlotte, the director of his next film, is the director of the two films he mentioned earlier. And now, the other party asked him to refresh his beard and appear on the big screen with a new image.

This made Keanu feel that he needed to think about it.

It should be said that in the United States, a land where rough brothers are prevalent, it is not a big deal for male stars to grow beards.

Many viewers even think it's more manly.

Keanu Reeves himself hasn't grown a beard before.

However, it is true that he has rarely appeared on the big screen with a full face of stubble.

In the words of Jane de Bont, the director of "The Speed of Life and Death", "It is a crime to cover this handsome face with a mustache".

And now, a prepared "offender" has appeared.

Although Keanu doesn't plan to rely on his face for the rest of his life, after so many years in Hollywood, he also knows what his advantages are.

Therefore, he was a little hesitant about Charlotte's request to grow a beard.

However, considering that the other party is indeed very powerful as a commercial film director, it will certainly not be without reason to make such a request, Keanu finally decided to listen to the director.

"Anyway, the other party asked me to join the group a few days early, and he will definitely explain it to me when the time comes. 」

Mr. Reeves comforted himself.

It should be said that Keanu Reeves' guess is not wrong.

Charlotte did explain to him the day he joined the crew, what made him grow a beard-

"Because your previous image is too far from John Constantine!"

Mr. Director bluntly said,

"I need a Constantine with a decadent charm, both good and evil, not an exorcist who can only play handsome with a bitter face!"

“......”

- Well, that's straightforward!

Keanu Reeves, who can't refute it, can only keep trying out all kinds of new outfits under the guidance of Mr. Director and the screenwriter named Aziva Gossman......

"Sally, has your boyfriend always been so demanding of actors?"

At the same time as trying on makeup, Keanu also met a new friend he met in the crew of "Devil's Advocate"-

Charlize Theron.

This beautiful girl has a lot of rivalry with Keanu in "Devil's Advocate", and he admires her acting talent very much.

Therefore, when the crew of "Hell Detective" met each other, Keanu was very happy.

He had heard about the relationship between the other party and director Charlotte Booth, so he asked the above question.

"Not so harsh. ”

Charlize shrugged,

"Charlotte pays special attention to the design of an actor's image in the film, which often means that he has something special in mind – like my special witch in 'Guillotine Valley', which is how it was born. ”

"I see!"

Keanu suddenly realized,

"So, is Mr. Director doing it for me?"

"Essentially he's for the movies, but—"

The girl pointed to the camera not far away that recorded every outfit of Mr. Reeves.

"There is also an element of his bad taste in this. ”

“...... What do you mean?"

"You know Johnny Depp's ecstatic "interesting" in "Guillotine Valley", right?

Charlize asked amusedly.

"Yes!"

- How could Keanu Reeves, who is a friend of Depp, not know this?

Especially after the release of the videotape of "Guillotine Valley", the "interesting" in the trailer that was scared out of the genuine value became a sharp weapon for their group of friends to laugh at Depp.

Could it be—

"Charlotte loves to shoot the trailer!

Charlize's later words confirmed Keanu's conjecture,

"Maybe I'll be called "Keanu Reeves Drag Show"!"

“......”

Mr. Reeves suddenly had the feeling of being on a thief ship.
