Seeing now, even Jodie Foster, who is very familiar with the routines of horror movies, is beginning to be a little curious about what that elusive killer looks like. She glanced at Charlotte on the side, but Charlotte made a gesture of please, motioning for her to continue looking.

In fact, in the original version of "Fatal Bend", the mutant monster who exists as a killer has basically no characteristics except for being ugly and hideous. However, Charlotte's version of "Fatal Bend" is different - because of the deal with the Ghost Tiger, he also incorporated some of the characteristics of the mandrill into the image design of the mutant monster, so that it retains the ugly and hideous feeling while adding a touch of mystery and religious sacredness.

As Charlotte said when she studied with makeup artist Annika before, it is more like a totemic image in primitive religious worship.

- This is exactly what the mandrill is.

So, when Jodie Foster saw the positive image of the mutant weirdo, she was really a little surprised-

She was anticipating the ugliness of the mutant weirdo's image. After all, people instinctively like to associate ugliness with horror, even though the two are not necessarily related – Quasimodo, for example, in "Notre Dame", is a typical victim of this prejudice.

But Judy foresaw the ugliness, but not the others. She didn't know how the makeup artist of the crew of "Fatal Bend" came up with it, and through a few simple retouches, the makeup of the mutant monsters kept ugly and hideous, and added a sense of mystery. This sense of mystery makes Judy involuntarily endure her physical discomfort with ugliness, and scrutinize the appearance of the weirdos, which only reinforces her sense of fear.

"That's nice makeup!"

The actress couldn't help but admire the work of makeup artist Annika.

However, what made Jodie Foster even more admired was the series of scenes that the hero and heroine and a group of four - the remaining two had already been killed in front - stumbled into the mutant monsters' hut by mistake.

She didn't know how Charlotte did it, although the human teeth pulled out of the jar were terrifying, and the cabin was indeed dirty and gloomy, but a better horror movie could actually do it, but now through the screen, she seemed to feel the tension and horror of countless dangers hidden in her face.

"Maybe, this guy is really suitable for making horror movies!"

Judy secretly glanced at Charlotte and turned up her evaluation of him.

"Speaking of which, what symbols are drawn in blood on the floor of those mutant weirdos' rooms, and how do I feel like some kind of dark sacrifice magic circle?"

Perhaps a little tired from watching, Jodie Foster asked the old gun to pause the animatic that was playing, and then rested while asking Charlotte about the parts she didn't understand. Charlotte's answer was very simple:

"That's a kind of circle. from China. The various patterns in it are actually a special kind of text, which means "north". ”

"North!?"

Jodie Foster couldn't understand this,

"The film "Fatal Bend", I remember reading the script, it was a simple plasma film, and it was mixed with magical elements such as black magic, especially from China, wouldn't it be thankless to mix it like this?"

"I can't say it's not possible. ”

Charlotte touched her chin,

"However, in the ordinary plot, this circle is just an embellishment, meaningless. Its greater significance is actually to serve our second layer of plot. ”

"The second story?what's that!?"

- When I first pulled the investment, the script I showed was completely absent from this thing!!

Foster was visibly confused. Charlotte didn't explain, just blinked,

"Watch the whole movie a few more times, and you'll understand. ”

Saying this, Charlotte recalled the scene when she met with Ghost Tiger last night-

"You're just trying to use what you've been shooting these days to scare the people out there who are watching and make them feel in awe of me?"

As soon as the old gun heard the news, he left Charlotte's tent, and a ghost shadow that was extremely white in Charlotte's eyes, but could not be seen by ordinary people at all, floated into his tent.

"You guys, why do you like to come uninvited!?"

Charlotte muttered, looked up at the ghost floating in the tent, and was surprised to find that it was her former boss, Alan Mike Arrowy, who had been eaten by the ghost tiger and turned into a ghost.

However, listening to the tone of the words just now, it was not Alan himself who controlled the ghost that Allen had turned into, but the ghost tiger. This ghost is just a stand-in or puppet of the other party.

"What are you doing here?"

Charlotte is not worried about the ghost tiger whose body is not in front of her and does not bring a large number of ghosts. He rolled his eyelids and yawned, as if to blame the other party for not disturbing his sleep in the middle of the night.

"I'm just here to remind you not to forget the promise made to me!"

"Of course not!"

Charlotte still looked indifferent,

"Not to mention, the runes drawn on the faces of those mutant monsters, and the magic circles drawn on the floor of the cabin, are not all made according to your will, and represent your identity in themselves? As long as the people watching the movie are scared when they see the monsters or the cabin, the power of awe will naturally be transmitted to you, and when you accumulate enough awe, you can change from a mandrill to a mountain god, isn't it?"

Speaking of which, Charlotte was a little sorry,

"It's a pity that you don't want to appear in person, otherwise the terrifying aura on your body alone will be enough to intimidate a large audience! In that way, the impression will be more direct, and without going through the transfer, the accumulation of awe power will definitely be much faster!"

"Straight on!?"

Allen, no, the ghost tiger laughed,

"Are you one of those ordinary ghosts who have no brains, since you know the Dao, how can I easily expose my body to you!"

"You don't seem stupid, but you're not that smart. ”

Charlotte also laughed,

"Now, do you think I don't know who you really are, Wei Changhui?"

“......”

The moment he heard Charlotte's words, the ghost tiger was silent, and then laughed again,

"It's been a long time since I've heard that name. How did you guess, boy?"

"Is it hard?"

Charlotte pouted,

"Not to mention anything else, I have long known that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not really have a few mandrills. When you first started the GX Jintian uprising, the reason why you wanted to divide the four kings of the east, west, south and north was that each of the main leaders controlled a mandrill. Although the mandrills were all lost later, even if you want to transform people into mandrills, it must be those who have been exposed to mandrills for a long time, and those who have been contaminated with a lot of their breath are better transformed. ”

Speaking of this, Charlotte paused again,

"What's more, the magic circle you asked me to set up in the cabin essentially represents the north, and the few strokes you asked me to paint on the faces of those actors who played mutant weirdos are not the word "Wei" in the Yin rune?"

"You are a foreign devil, you actually know Yin runes!?"

The ghost tiger was surprised for a while, but then laughed again,

"Yes, I am the Northern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-Wei Changhui!

"What else can I do?

Charlotte yawned again, and seemed really unmotivated,

"I know a lot of magic, but there's really nothing I can do about you when it comes to a mandrill like you, who is about to transform into a mountain god - of course, I'm not very afraid of you. But in this case, isn't the best option for us to keep the well water out of the river and then go on as usual?"

"It's okay, even if you are self-aware!"

Ghost Tiger, no, Wei Changhui nodded, but his expression seemed to be a little regretful,

"If you really have any bad ideas, I can't say what about you, the blonde girl who was with you last time will definitely not escape the palm of my hand. ”

"My relationship with her is not what you think. ”

Charlotte explained casually, and continued,

"But if business as usual and the deal continues, can you do me a favor and get some publicity for our film?"

"Propaganda!?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte nodded, remembering the little plan he made with producer Westwood before the movie started, and glanced at Wei Changhui who was wearing Allen's face.

"I need to borrow your current face!"
