"Is it okay to never hit like that?"

Charlize asked aloud.

"No problem. All you want is to miss. ”

Charlotte's answer was equally loud.

Today is Sunday, and as scheduled, they went to a shooting range near Los Angeles to practice shooting.

Of course, the word "practice" may not be quite right, and it would be more appropriate to say "play".

- Neither Charlize nor Charlotte really cared much about their marksmanship skills.

Charlotte's marksmanship sucks.

After all, unlike the United States, where guns are rampant, guns were banned on the other side of the Pacific before.

I haven't touched this thing since I was a child, and I don't have any talent, so naturally it is impossible to hit it very accurately.

As for Charlize, although with Charlotte's help, her psychological problems have improved a lot. But when holding the gun, it is still difficult to pull the trigger.

Otherwise, you just pull the trigger at will, but you don't dare to aim at all.

In this way, it is natural to "let the bullets fly".

Fortunately, Charlotte is like a talisman made this time, and Charlize needs to hit the bull's-eye.

To be precise, "missing" is better.

"But why is it better not to hit?"

Charlize asked curiously.

At this time, she had already opened a lot of robs, and her wrists were a little sore.

- But let alone hitting the bull's-eye, even the one who hit the target didn't have a single bullet.

"Because what I need is the target that you never hit after all your efforts!"

Charlotte smiled at Charlize while putting away the empty target left behind after Charlize shot,

"Sally, do you want to hear a story?"

"Story?"

Charlize's emerald green eyes rolled, and he licked his lips like a cat,

"Are you trying to 'shoot' at me? I don't know if there's a suitable spot around here. ”

“......”

Charlotte looked at her girlfriend speechlessly,

"As I said, I'm not telling you stories to seduce you into bed. ”

"But that's what you actually do!"

Charlize smiled charmingly,

"Think for yourself, when you told me your ghost story, we didn't-"

"Well, what you say makes sense, I'm speechless. ”

Charlotte eventually gave up on the topic of dwelling on Charlize,

"Anyway, let's start with the story! As for the "shooting"—"

He glanced at Charlize's red lips,

"Of course I wouldn't object if you wanted to. ”

“...... I knew it would be like this. ”

Charlize whispered.

And Charlotte ignored her and said to herself,

"Legend has it that in ancient China, there was a general who was not skilled in martial arts and went out to fight and was defeated. ”

The military general was about to flee for his life, but suddenly killed a god general to help him kill the enemy and turn defeat into victory. ”

This surprised and thanked the general. He solemnly thanked the other party and asked who the other party was. ”

The god general replied to him, "I am the target god!" - this made the general curious, "Why did you save me?"

"Because you practice archery on weekdays, and you haven't hit me with an arrow, so I'm here to repay the favor!"

Hearing Charlotte learn the tone of the characters in the story and say the last line, Charlize laughed out loud.

"You bastard!"

The girl pretended to be angry and hit Charlotte twice,

"Are you telling this story just to mock me?"

"Of course not. ”

Charlotte smiled,

"Although this story sounds like a joke, the target god in it can really be created by casting spells. ”

"So, the amulet you plan to make for me is the target god?"

Charlize somewhat understood,

"But such a simple amulet making method, how can I sound so unreliable?"

"Easy!?"

Charlotte shook her head,

"The spells needed here are not simple at all. What's more, it's not so easy to shoot continuously but miss the target with a single shot. ”

"Hey!"

Seeing her girlfriend waving her little fist in protest, Charlotte explained,

"You have to try to shoot, but you just don't hit the target! There is no point in deliberately missing it, and it has to be someone who is more familiar with weapons like guns. ”

“...... Well, according to you, it's really not that easy. ”

was explained by Charlotte, although she still felt awkward, but Charlize finally understood,

"So you never said you made this amulet until you knew I was missing the target?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte nodded with a smirk.

"Hey, don't laugh!"

Charlize punched Charlotte in annoyance, and the pressure in his heart brought by the previous shadow dissipated a little......

Also under pressure is Aziva Gossman on Warner's side.

Although he became one of the producers of "Hell Detective" by chance, this is indeed an opportunity for him.

In particular, he represents Warner's interests.

- Warner Bros. is not only an investor, but also a copyright provider and distributor.

This makes him second only to Charlotte Booth, the promoter and director of the project, in power among the producers.

Having experienced this taste of power, Aziwa is eager to continue his work as a producer in the future, or even as a first producer like Charlotte.

And this requires that this "Hell Detective" must be a success.

So, before and after the release of "Hell Detective", Aziva was really nervous.

Now, though, he's relaxed.

Because "Hell Detective" has been a box office hit-

$42 million on the first day.

$48 million the next day.

The box office earnings of the first two days alone were enough for Aziva to put his heart in his stomach.

What's more, the reputation of the movie is also very good, especially in the eyes of some fans of the original book-

"This is what I think of as Konstantin!"

Many fans wrote such words in the questionnaire after the screening.

- For die-hard fans of the original book, this can already be said to be the highest appreciation.

"The only problem is that Keanu Reeves seems to be more handsome than Konstantin in the comics, which makes me a little tangled......"

There are also manga fans who have left such messages.

- It's a bit tangled, but it's undoubtedly a good review for the movie.

There are many more similar reviews.

Because "Hell Detective" restores a John Constantine with a depraved temperament, a violent personality, and an unscrupulous but handsome man, many fans of the original work have given quite high evaluations.

And the high box office two days before the screening is also related to this-

It can be said that it was the support of fans of the original comics that greatly pushed up the box office of the movie on the first day.

This is one of the characteristics of manga movies.
