"If the birth of a baby is an injection of vitality, then death is the loss of vitality. ”

Charlotte was sorting out the thoughts in her head, and she spoke to Charlize quickly,

"What, then, does it mean if a person keeps dying and being born again?"

"Is there a constant loss of vitality?"

Suddenly interrupted while watching a movie, Charlize's mind is still a little foggy. She looked at Charlotte, who seemed to be thinking nervously, and didn't know what the other person meant.

"That's just for death. ”

Charlotte's words seemed to refute Charlize's answer, and it seemed to be talking to herself,

But for the new life, it is the infusion of life force - that is, the life force will continue to be injected and lost in his physical strength. In this process, part of the life force will overflow, and part of it will naturally precipitate. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly burst out laughing,

"Sally, tell Alexis that I've found a way to effectively transfer my newfound life force to her. ”

"What's the solution?"

Seeing the blonde girl pounce in front of him all at once, her rosy lips away from him, Charlotte immediately realized that the other party had switched.

"Alexis!?"

"It's me. ”

The girl shook her head,

"As soon as Sally heard you say that, she immediately handed over control of her body to me. So, just tell me!"

"Ahem, okay!"

Charlotte twisted her neck unnaturally before continuing,

"In short, you need to work on another movie with Sally!"

“What！？”

Although he had seen the weirdness of Charlotte's spells, Alexis still couldn't imagine how the transfer of life force was connected to making movies.

"Let's put it this way, although I can directly transfer the life force I took from the ghost tiger to you, but as a ghost, your cultivation time is too short to take on this huge life force in a normal way. ”

Charlotte made an analogy,

"It's like a newborn python that has no ability to swallow an adult hippopotamus - I said before that if you want to live like a living person, you need enough vitality, and now you have vitality, but how to let you absorb it has become a problem. ”

"So you've got a way to do it now?"

Alexis looked at Charlotte expectantly,

"Filmmaking can solve this problem!?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte nodded,

"But it can't be an ordinary movie, it has to be a movie where you're going to be killed and resurrected!

“...... Do you still have this hobby?"

Alexis licked her rosy lips with the tip of her tongue,

"It doesn't matter if I'm a ghost. But you can't do that to Sally!"

“...... If you misinterpret my meaning again, you will go back to your subconscious!"

Charlotte swept the girl in front of her with a dark face, and saw that she was no longer making trouble, so she continued,

"As I explained earlier, through constant death and resurrection, the life force of the past that I convey will continue to precipitate in you and Sally. And Sally, as a living person, this extra life force is useless to her—"

"So the life force will naturally be absorbed by me, the ghost attached to her?"

Alexis understood,

"But if you do this, it won't have any bad effect on Sally, right?"

"No, it won't. ”

Charlotte glanced at Alexis in some surprise,

"Have you ever seen an actor who really became a corpse because he played a corpse?"

"Yes!"

Alexis pointed to the tip of his nose,

"The last role I played before I committed suicide was a corpse. ”

“...... Well, that's a sad story!"

Charlotte scratched her head helplessly,

"In short, in this way, you can absorb the life force I teleported to in a very efficient way—it's a lot like an animal, to speak. ”

"Animals?"

"Cat! a cat with nine lives!"

Glancing at Alexis, who was a little curious, Charlotte simply entered the time to tell the story,

"In Eastern and Western legends, it is said that cats have nine lives. But in fact, normal cats do not have this ability. The one with nine lives is a cat demon!"

"Is it because the cat demon is a more powerful monster that it has nine lives?"

Alexis thought logically.

"On the contrary, it's because you have nine lives that you can become a youkai!"

Charlotte's conclusion is always different.

"The person who taught me the spell once said that no matter whether an era can provide enough aura, the cat is an animal that can cultivate. As long as they can go through nine near-death and immortal states, they can become cat demons! This is also the source of the saying that cats have nine lives. ”

"Dying and not dying?"

Alexis paused suddenly,

"Isn't this a Super Saiyan—— that's what Sally said. ”

“...... In addition to American superheroes, has she even begun to dabble in Japanese "Dragon Ball" now?"

Charlotte muttered,

"It's not wrong to understand it this way! Although the cat demon doesn't have a second-stage or third-stage transformation. ”

"But in this way, shouldn't there be a lot of cat demons in the world?"

Alexis still feels that something is wrong,

"But I've never seen it!"

"How likely do you think it is that you have died nine times in a row and made your life hang by a thread, but you can still save the day?"

Charlotte looked at her angrily,

"If you don't die, you won't die. On the other hand, the cat's cultivation method for the purpose of death basically ends with death. Besides, do you think they know about this kind of cultivation? It's just instinct. ”

"Anyway, this time, like in Fatal Bend, you'll still need to perform with Sally, but—"

Charlotte frowned, with a distressed expression,

"This time, the two of you have to make the audience think that you are the same person, and at the same time clearly feel the difference between the two of you. This requirement is higher than that of "Fatal Bend"!"

"Isn't it okay to have a split personality?"

Alexis proposes a scheme.

"Just like you two now?"

Charlotte shook her head,

In the minds of most viewers, they will naturally think that a split personality is two people. ”

"But that's not how it is defined in psychology!"

Alexis retorted.

Ever since Charlotte said that she and Charlize were in a similar state to split personality, when they were bored, they had actually read some psychology books about split personality, and they were more or less professionals in this regard. And yet—

"When it comes to spells, psychological definitions don't make sense at all. What the public thinks is what matters!"

Charlotte responded rudely to Alexis' popular science,

"It's like language. Even if it's a typo, enough people can use it conventionally as if it were correct, and sometimes even force linguists to revise dictionaries. ”

——Actually, the fake characters in Chinese are basically such a thing.

Of course, this is not Chinese class time. Charlotte didn't go into the details, he waved his hand at Alexis,

"I'll try to solve the problem from the perspective of the script first! Maybe just set it up so that the personality performance of a character before and after is very contrasting, and then you two can play part of it. ”

"But how do you make the transition in between?"

At the mention of acting, Alexis also got serious. In this respect, she and Charlize are on par with each other. In other words, Charlize still learned from her.

"If you can't handle it well, it will definitely lead to the separation of the front and back, and it will become a bad movie!

Alexis stared at Charlotte,

"-It's useless to you, isn't it?"

"yes!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly,

"It's useless to have a bad movie. Only a good movie can be beneficial to the development of our career, and it can also resonate with the audience and make the spell effective. ”

He picked up the remote control and replayed all kinds of self-defeating scenes in "Groundhog Day" in which the protagonist Phil - that is, Bill Murray - killed himself.

"What kind of story do you want?"

Charlotte recalled all the movies she had watched before the time travel, and her head was a little big for a while-

There are not very many film and television works in the infinite loop genre, except for "Groundhog Day", which was released in 1992, the only thing he can think of is "Horror Cruise", but that film ......

Charlotte felt that the infinite loop of tragic stories of killing and being killed didn't seem to quite meet the needs of the spell he wanted to build.

He prefers that the script can have a happy ending, just like "Groundhog Day", otherwise it always feels as if it will set some ominous FLAG for Charlize and Alexis.

But what else is there besides "Horror Cruises"?

It's impossible for him to use the part of "Endless August" in the "Haruhi Suzumiya" series, right!?

Not to mention the cultural differences between Japan and the United States, the story of "Endless August", without the support of the original book of the "Haruhi Suzumiya" series, he would not have been able to tell it clearly in a movie.

Uh, yes, and Edge of Tomorrow!

But the essence of that movie is actually Tom Cruise saving the world again. Besides, it's only the actor who loops in that film!

No matter how good Charlize and Alexis's acting skills are, they can't play a man! These two are blonde and blue-eyed beauties, and they are not Hilary Swank!

"If you can't think of it, don't think about it yet. ”

A pair of slightly cold slender jade hands pressed Charlotte's forehead and gently kneaded it,

"We still have time. ”

"Sally?"

Charlotte naturally sensed the change in the girl, and the latter smiled lightly at him,

"You can rest first! maybe just get some sleep. ”

"Get some sleep!?"

Charlize's words flashed like a bolt of lightning,

"I thought of !!"

Charlotte excitedly grabbed Charlize's hand on his forehead and kissed it directly. The girl wanted to hide for a moment, but in the end she let him go.

"Our new movie is called Happy Death Day!"
