Of course, the so-called dead man's makeup is actually a special technique mastered by Charlotte.

It's both a spell and not a spell –

It is said that it is a spell, because there is no mana to support it, and this kind of makeup is not powerful, and the scary effect is not powerful;

If it is not a spell, it is because the core of this technique is not a spell after all. Mana is in it, and it's more of a catalyst effect.

- Actually, this is a trick that the old ghost taught Charlotte before he crossed over.

Just like the story he told Charlize before, in ancient China, people who knew magic often cooperated with their ghosts and goblins to "turn their fortunes" from large families.

- To put it simply, it's a game of "good cops, bad cops".

However, there's a problem with this –

Not all people who know how to spell can subdue the goblins as their subordinates.

At this time, you can only find living people to pretend to be ghosts.

And if you want to make a living person look scary enough, you naturally need makeup.

——Some smart people have developed a unique "dead man's makeup" based on the method of applying makeup to the dead.

With this unique makeup, living people are more scary than real ghosts, but they can retain some of the characteristics of living people......

"So, you pretending to be a fool of the devil are all black-bellied!"

In the evening, after listening to Charlotte's story, Charlize gave such an evaluation.

Of course, just like before, the two of them used "storytelling" as a kind of foreplay......

"I remember that you promised before that you would work with me on a movie again. ”

After completing the follow-up quest for "Storytelling", Charlize complained in confusion,

"Now you're all ready to remake "Midnight Bell", what about the movie with me?—— speaking of which, last time in the main god space, you said that you would shoot a movie about dreams, is this one?"

"Well...... It's not impossible. ”

Charlotte pondered as she resumed the rhythm of her breathing.

- The movie he said about dreams is, of course, "Inception".

There are two most important female characters in this film - one is naturally the protagonist Cobb's dead wife Mel, and the other is the new dream maker Adeney.

In the original time and space, the former was played by French actress Marion Cotillard.

- For this reason, Marion Cotillard, who was originally a woman with all kinds of amorous feelings, has a kind of "resentful woman" temperament in the minds of many people......

The latter, on the other hand, was given to Alan Page.

- This young actress who starred in the "X-Men" series "Phantom Cat" and also starred in "Juno" can be regarded as having very good acting skills.

However, her slightly boyish appearance has little chemistry with the actor Cobb, the blonde long-legged supermodel lover Leonardo DiCaprio.

In addition, at that time, Xiao Lizi's face became wider and wider, and the expression of emotions mainly relied on frowning, which made the emotional line between Adney and Cobb in the story seem very flat.

But according to the plot, the interaction between Adney's character and Cobb will stimulate Mel's ......

Of course, the story of "Inception" is wonderful enough that the audience basically ignores this little unnaturalness.

But after Charlotte became a director in this time and space, she looked back at the film and gradually discovered these problems.

That's not a problem, though.

After all, if Charlotte were filming "Inception" at this time, it would be impossible to copy the list of actors in the original time and space.

- Even Leonardo DiCaprio didn't even think about using it.

Who let it be that it's only 2001 now, and Xiao Lizi's young face hasn't been completely destroyed by self-destruction......

"So, Sally, which role are you going to play?"

After giving Charlize a rough rundown of the story, Charlotte threw the choice directly to his wife.

"You choose how to go!"

He was playing with himself in his heart, but he didn't expect Charlize to complete the choice at once-

"I play Mel, but there's a premise. ”

"What premise?"

"You play the leading role!"

“......”

Charlotte was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly,

"Sally, if this movie is made, the cost will not be less, this is not a small-budget movie like "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" - if you let me play the leading role with an unknown guy like me, it will increase a lot of risks. ”

"How so?"

Charlize learned from Charlotte's wicked smile,

I remember that in the audience survey of "Pirates of the Caribbean", there were even a lot more people who walked into the cinema because of you than because of Depp!"

“......”

"Stay with me one more time!"

Seeing that her husband was still hesitating, Charlize rarely used coquettish means, which made Charlotte unbearable for a while.

- After all, the two had just "communicated" once before, and there was nothing on them.

- And now that he has regained his physical strength......

Anyway, even when she arrived at the office the next day, Charlotte was still thinking about it.

- Actually, he also knows that his popularity, as Charlize said, is actually not low.

However, it is not easy to direct and act this kind of thing.

Although Charlotte often uses two birds to kill two birds with one stone, whether dealing with ghosts or business opponents, he himself often believes that people can only do one thing at a time.

It's okay to shoot "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" in the nature of playing tickets before, but a blockbuster like "Inception", which is very difficult to shoot, let him direct and act by himself, and he is somewhat lacking in confidence......

"Alexis, do you think that at my level, I can direct and act on my own?"

It just so happened that Miss Valkyrie, who was also his secretary, came to get him some papers, and Charlotte couldn't help but ask the question.

"Self-directed and self-acted?What movie!?"

Alexis seemed interested.

"It's the movie about dreams that I told you and Sally about in the main god space before......"

With that, Charlotte told Miss Valkyrie about the conversation he had with Charlize last night.

- Of course, the scene where this conversation took place, and what happened before and after the conversation, he naturally skipped it and didn't say anything.

Fortunately, as an American girl who is essentially grinning, Alexis is not the type who is as careful as a hair.

"Isn't that great?"

Miss Valkyrie said with a smile,

"You play the lead actor and Sally plays your wife, just like in reality. ”

"In reality, Sally is still alive!"

"Don't worry about the details!"

Alexis waved his hand,

"Then again, according to you, there are two important female characters in this movie, and Sally chose Mel because she wanted to be your wife - what do you think of me playing Adeney?"

“......”
