Chapter 517: Stereotypes

Charlotte will mention Black Mass at this time, naturally not because of the rice green worm in the brain.

In fact, he did come up with an interesting solution just now, which should solve the problem.

He explained to the girl, and she was dumbfounded.

"Are you sure it's okay to do that?"

"Of course. 」

Charlotte is confident,

"Don't forget, weren't you and Alexis in a similar state back then!"

「...... Well, you're right!"

So, the next day, when Patty Jenkins, the director of "The Female Devil", was directing the filming, he found that the aura of his heroine suddenly became a lot more.

"Very well, that's it, Sally! you're in great shape today!"

Patty Jenkins is actually very welcoming of this change.

After all, they made a biographical film of the first female serial killer in American history, Erin Warnos.

- Who would believe a serial killer who doesn't even have a bit of a fierce temperament in him?

Although Patty Jenkins, who researched a lot of serial killer information before filming, knew that some serial killers did not feel like some killers in life.

- But the question is, will the audience believe it?

Art originates from life and is higher than life.

- Every filmmaker has his own understanding of this sentence, just as there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

For Patty Jenkins, the simplest understanding is that the characters filmed must conform to the audience's mental image.

- This is what Charlize's boyfriend, the great director Charlotte Booth, told her before the filming of "The Devil Girl" began.

Patty Jenkins feels that it makes sense.

If nothing else, do British men have to be stereotypical frigigant gentlemen?

Do French women have to be amorous to the point of debauchery?

Is Texas all red necks?

Of course not.

But for most moviegoers, this almost prejudiced perception is an inherent impression in their minds.

Of course, it is not impossible to subvert this image in the movie, but it must spend a lot of footage and time for the audience to accept it.

But that large amount of footage and time should have been spent on the narration of the main plot.

Therefore, there are always various templates for the various characters in the movie.

There may be various changes in details, but in terms of core settings, they are all the same.

And it is the job of the actors to make the same kernel show completely different feelings.

Specific to the movie "The Female Devil", Erin Warnos, the female serial killer, must be fierce and murderous, but on the other hand, she must make people feel pitiful and even respectable.

Only if the audience hates her while liking her, and in the end can only turn into a complicated sigh, then the creation of this character can be considered successful.

And that's what Charlize Theron invested in this film.

- Patty Jenkins is very clear about the fact that he is making an Austrian movie.

She has no grievances.

As a rookie director, or as a woman, it is rare to get such an opportunity.

However, thinking of Charlize's boyfriend, that Charlotte Booth, the big director of commercial films, Patty Jenkins still couldn't help but sigh-

When will you reach the other person's level?

Now Charlotte is really hot in Hollywood.

The release of the movie "The Mummy" once again pushed him to the forefront.

With just a pre-sale and less than a full day of release, this fantasy adventure film with a comedy overtone took $37 million at the box office.

And the reviews given by film critics are also quite good.

Kenneth Turan and other film critics who have always liked to give praise to Charlotte's films, not to mention, even Roger Albert, who has always been harsh on commercial films, also gave two thumbs up this time -

"After the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, Hollywood's action-adventure movies have been at a low ebb for a long time, but the movie "The Mummy" has made this genre rise to the top again - this movie has an interesting story and a very precise pacing, which makes people can't help but fall into it. ”

"But what is more important is the film's portrayal of the natural landscape - the grandeur and majesty of the Sahara Desert, the mystery and vastness of the mirage, and the overwhelming and magnificent sandstorm, all of which caught my eyes in 120 minutes. ”

"I don't know how Mr. Director made nature so beautiful, but after watching this movie, I immediately felt the urge to travel to the desert......"

- Roger Albert's evaluation can be said to speak to the hearts of many people.

In fact, there are indeed many people who have the intention of traveling in the desert after watching "The Mummy". But when they called the airline to book tickets, they found that the flights to North Africa, Morocco and other places had been booked out in the near future.

Even in large museums in New York, Washington, D.C., and other places, the number of people in the exhibition area about Egypt has skyrocketed.

- Charlotte's "The Mummy", the influence of which suddenly went beyond the field of film, set off a wave of Egyptian fever and desert fever in North America.

While the craze may not last long, it has already benefited a lot of people.

As a representative sent by Universal during the production of this film, Sean Daniel's status within Universal has also risen.

The call to immediately start preparing for the second part is also resounding within Universal.

"Is this too early?"

Sean Daniel was a little worried.

After all, just one day after the movie was released, even if the situation is very good, is it a little too anxious to start preparing for the second part immediately?

"It's not early at all!"

Sean's boss is more anxious than him,

"The success of this film is largely due to Charlotte Booth - from the audience survey, we can also find that about 54% of the audience on the first day went to Charlotte. ”

"For a director, the appeal is simply amazing. ”

Sean Daniel gasped,

"Even many A-list stars can't compare to his appeal. ”

"yes!"

Sean's boss sighed,

"In this case, if you want to ensure the success of the second part, it is the best choice to continue to ask Charlotte Booth to direct, but the problem is that this guy is a big-name director, and there is no shortage of film appointments - if we don't hurry, I am afraid his schedule will not be able to catch up. ”

"That's true!"

Hearing what the boss said, Sean Daniel couldn't help but get nervous.

However, Sean didn't know that Universal was actually too late to catch up-

Charlotte's "Sherlock Holmes" is already in preparation.
