"How come there are two scripts?"

The next day, looking at the two scripts that Charlotte put in front of her, Jodie Foster was a little confused.

"One is the new version of the storyboard script of "Happy Death Day", with certain adjustments. ”

Charlotte began to explain,

"The other is a script called "Blair the Witch," which I received the last time I attended a celebration party for "Fatal Bend" at USC. ”

"You're going to make a movie about this script later?"

"No, you're going to make this script into a movie later!"

“What！？”

Charlotte's words made Judy blindfold again,

"You received a script and planned for me to shoot it, why?"

"For the sake of the skin!"

Charlotte directly said the reason why Judy couldn't refuse,

"It's a very rudimentary and terrible script, and if I had done it, it would have been easy to complete, but then I would have faced a lot of criticism. ”

"So you don't shoot it yourself, but let me shoot it!?"

Judy looked at Charlotte with a look of disgust, and the latter corrected,

"It's for you to shoot, but not as an actor or director, but as a producer. ”

"Producer!?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte pointed to the script for "Blair the Witch",

"I've written some simple instructions at the end of the script, and you'll understand what I mean after reading it. ”

"Really?"

The actress nodded noncommittally, unfolded the script and read it.

- That's the plan Charlotte and Charlize talked about yesterday.

Regardless of whether Judy deceived them or not, the monster Painted Skin, and even the evil god who may have created the Painted Skin, their current source of power is The Silence of the Lambs.

It is the fear that remains after the audience watched "The Silence of the Lambs".

Invisible fears accumulate into invisible magic that can be borrowed by the ghosts involved. And to destroy this kind of ghost, one or two new movies are a good choice in Charlotte's opinion.

From the movie, back to the movie.

"The script of this movie is terrible!"

Soon, Judy, who had quickly skimmed through the script of "Blair the Witch", let out an exclamation,

"I probably see what you mean, though — it's a bad movie for the director, but not for the producer. ”

"In terms of publicity, there's a lot of room to operate. ”

Charlotte gave her own assessment.

"That's right. ”

Judy agrees with him,

"But why would I do that? Doing the propaganda operations you attached to the back will also damage the credibility of my production company to a certain extent. ”

- That's right, Charlotte attached the promotional plan of the film that was the first film in history to open the era of online viral marketing after the script of "Blair the Witch".

To sum it up, it's one word.

Fry!!!

Although it is now in 1994, Internet promotion in North America is far less than it was in 1999, viral marketing is unlikely.

But on the other hand, the North American audience at this time has not yet experienced those fresh tricks, and they are still very simple and young.

This opens up the possibility of hype.

In particular, Charlotte also suggested that Judy take advantage of some real-life events, such as the previous Deathly Bend to use a complete Bianls Valley series of cases.

After tossing around like this, it is not difficult to stir up the ancestor of the pseudo-documentary "Blair the Witch", but the producers will definitely consume some credibility because of it.

- After all, it was intended to be propagandized under the guise that "this is a record of real events", just like in the original history.

Wait for the audience to find out that you have flickered them to tears, and in the end it is just for the money in their pockets......

This will definitely damage the credibility of the producers.

It's not surprising that Jodie Foster, as an old man who has been in Hollywood since she was a child, can see this. And Charlotte is confident that she can convince her:

"It's true that it will damage some credibility or credibility. But the question is, who is it harming?"

Charlotte's words made Judy realize,

"You're saying that the hype focuses on the actors and directors and downplays the presence ......of the producers?

"That's why I won't make this movie!"

Charlotte shrugged her shoulders and looked very indifferent,

"For directors and actors who are already famous, making this film can really damage credibility. But this is not the case for newcomers who are just starting out in the industry and are very young. ”

"Even if there is some stigma for young newcomers, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of successfully opening up future career paths. ”

Judy figured it out,

"You don't want me to go straight to the guy who wrote the script to make this movie?"

She pointed to the author's name written on the script -

Daniel Merrick.

"He's a freshman at USC right now, and it's easy to navigate with your means. ”

In Charlotte's opinion, for Daniel Merrick, filming "Blair the Witch" did more pros than cons.

Although deceiving the audience may bring some loss of credibility, the success of the movie has left a deep impression on major film and television companies.

With the trust of these investors and distributors, after a few years of silence, after the limelight has passed, there is no problem at all in launching your own new movie, after all, the audience is forgetful.

In fact, Daniel Merrick, who was originally in history, took this route. It's a pity that his level of directing is really average, except for his debut film "Blair the Witch", other works are not very popular.

However, even so, this guy is actually on the fast track of career development.

After all, even Charlotte, because of some strange factors, was able to hold a guide tube in her early 30s, and she is considered young among directors.

And when you're in your 20s, and you're even in college, what's not to be satisfied with?

For the actors who participated, this principle is also the same.

Jodie Foster also understands this, so she no longer worries about the director and actors, after all, she knows from reading the script that the film "Blair the Witch" is not difficult to film, and the trouble is only publicity.

"In that case, there's nothing wrong with the movie itself. But what do you mean by "for the sake of painting the skin"?"

Now, what Miss Actress is most concerned about is actually this matter.

And Charlotte, who has been waiting for her to ask this question for a long time,

"Literally, when the film you're executive producing comes out, I can use spells to get you power out of the audience's fears. And this force can temporarily suppress the painted skin and slow down his birth. ”

"Is that so?"

"Of course!"

- No, it is not.

Charlotte's words were a lie.

Here, he wasted the script of "Blair the Witch" and handed it over to Jodie Foster for only one reason -

He's tempting.

Although she had already made her own speculation and judged that the human skin book that might have triggered the incident should still be in the hands of Jodie Foster, Charlotte lacked evidence after all.

And let Judy supervise "Blair the Witch", and after two months, he will be able to get enough evidence.

After all, this film was so easy to shoot that it could be done in a few days if it was faster. Coupled with the hype, two months of release is more than enough.

Once the movie is released, Charlotte will be able to judge the real relationship between her and Painted Skin by observing the changes in the strength of Judy and Painted Skin-

If the power of the painted skin has not changed at all, it means that Charlotte's guess is wrong, and Jodie Foster is really just an unlucky victim, as she herself said.

But if the power of the painted skin increases, then it is the opposite, indicating that the book is really in Judy's hands, and even the painted skin comes from the dark side of the actress's heart.

Otherwise, why would the power of fear that Judy gathered through "Blair the Witch" be absorbed by the painting skin, which has nothing to do with the movie?

Unless there is a closer connection between the two, which is Charlotte's inference.

- As for the strength of the painted skin that might be strengthened as a result, Charlotte is not worried.

Sometimes, the more powerful monsters are easier to deal with, because they forget to run because of their strength.

It's just—

"Isn't this a roundabout method? Isn't there an easier way, like invading Judy's heart or something?"

When he explained this step to Charlize yesterday, the girl's reaction was this.

"Yes, yes, but my mana is not that strong!"

Charlotte was also depressed,

"And if you don't borrow spells, in the face of a first-line celebrity like Jodie Foster, we don't have any means to forcibly pry her mouth open!"

- Especially since the other party is also a master of acting!

Looking at Jodie Foster in front of her, Charlotte added another sentence in her heart.
