Chapter 080: Happy Death Day

"Happy Death Day" is a new horror movie released in 2017 before Charlotte crosses.

This movie also uses the infinite loop mode of "Groundhog Day", but compared to "Horror Cruise", which is also a horror film, it is much more cheerful.

To put it simply, this is a horror comedy with a big heroine.

The heroine, Tree, is a - well, according to the girls - a girl, and of course, she is beautiful.

She was killed on her birthday, only to wake up the morning of her murder over and over again, going through it all over and over again.

In this repetitive process, she strives to track down her killer and gradually changes herself......

"This is simply the movie that best suits my needs!"

Charlotte thought to herselfโ€”

First of all, this is also a film with an infinite loop setting, where the heroine is dead and alive, alive and dead, to meet her own needs to help Alexis transform her vitality;

Secondly, the heroine of this movie has obvious personality changes before and after, which is very suitable for Charlize and Alexis to play respectively. They have their own characteristics, but they are the same person;

In the end, it was a film with a happy ending, with a good reputation and box office, which met the needs of Charlotte herself.

"That's it!"

Charlotte made up her mind.

After that, it's very simple -

He first briefed Charlize and Alexis on the basic plot design of "Happy Death Day", and after obtaining the consent of one person and one ghost, he immediately went into retreat and began his own journey of assaulting the script.

And then the one who was disturbed by him was the old gun......

"If I had made that script, I think I would have a good chance of success. Butโ€”"

The old gun glanced at Charlize, who was still chatting with Anika,

"Listen to you, you want Sally to be the heroine, right?"

Seeing Charlotte nodding, the old gun continued:

"Her acting skills are not bad among her peers, and her appearance is even more outstanding, but the problem is, according to the script, the heroine is a girl full of bitch flavor and has a richer expression, are you sure she played it?"

In Lao Gun's opinion, although Charlize's acting skills are okay, he has a big drawback, that is, his facial expressions are not rich enough.

This kind of problem can be said to be a common problem among actresses who have transformed from models, and it is a product of the professional habits left over from being a model. Lao Gun, who has been a casting director for many years, knows this very well.

Originally, this problem was not small, but Charlize himself had a very cold temperament, coupled with that slightly stiff expression......

"Anyway, if you listen to me, I think it's best not to let her play that mean girl type role. Unhappy. โ€

The old gun made his own judgment.

"I've thought about this before. โ€

Of course, Charlotte also understands that Charlize's temperament is not actually suitable for this role. But the problem is, if Charlize doesn't act, then Alexis attached to her can't act, so won't the creative significance of this script be completely lost at all?

"That would put the cart before the horse. โ€

In no way, Mr. Director had to think about whether there was any way to make his predetermined heroine play extraordinarily-

"Actually, it's very simple, just let Alexis be her golden finger! Anyway, it was originally planned to have them play different stages of the role separately. โ€

However, this surreal reason can't be said to the old gun. And Charlize, who has a strong self-esteem, may not be able to accept this kind of practice that borders on cheating.

"I think Charlize still has potential in this area. โ€

In desperation, Charlotte had to support her heroine,

"Actually, don't you think her eyes rolling and staring at people with dead fish eyes are very vivid?"

"Forehead ......"

That's true, and the old gun can't refute it.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why Charlize quickly broke away from the rigidity of the model in these two expressions was due to Charlotte-

"Stay by that guy's side, the worldview will be shattered and reshaped once in two or three days, and whoever will keep rolling his eyes and staring at the fish's eyes!"

Charlize had explained to Alexis why she had become more and more fond of using these two expressions......

In any case, after Charlotte expressed her support for Charlize, the old gun gave up his doubts.

It's not that he can't fail to see the special relationship between Charlize and Charlotte. Since actresses have become the muse of directors, it is understandable to receive some preferential treatment. What's more, according to the script of "Happy Death Day", this is not a drama film based on acting.

"It's really not good, it's a big deal to NG a few more times!"

The old gun pondered to himself.

"What about the actors in the other roles? Do you have any plans?"

"The others haven't thought about it yet, and they've been patronizing the script these days. โ€

Charlotte scratched her head,

"However, what do you think of the script of the heroine Tsui's father, how about we ask Bill Murray to play it?"

"You ...... guy"

Old Gun had also watched "Groundhog Day", so he guessed Charlotte's plan at once-

"You are deliberately trying to mislead viewers who have watched "Groundhog Day" into thinking that the heroine Cui in "Happy Death Day" is the daughter of the male protagonist Phil in "Groundhog Day", right?"

โ€œBingo๏ผโ€

Charlotte hammered the old gun's shoulder,

"I just said we should cooperate!

โ€œ...... Get out!"

"Actually, it's just a gimmick!"

Seeing that the old gun was not cooperative, Charlotte also put away the joking expression on her face,

"For viewers who haven't seen Groundhog Day, it doesn't matter at all. But for those who have watched Groundhog Day, it's a fantastic experience for them โ€“ and most importantly, don't you think it's fun?"

"The last sentence is your main purpose, right?"

"Of course!"

Charlotte quite frankly admitted,

"It's a stressful thing to be in charge of, and if you don't find some joy in your work, isn't life going to be bad?"

"There seems to be some truth to what you say. โ€

Seeing that the old gun nodded in agreement, Charlotte continued,

"And I've always felt that if you want the audience to find your own film interesting, you have to first make your own film interesting. If even the director thinks his movie is boring, then who wants to watch it?"

- Yes, it's the same work, so instead of being nervous, why not relax and enjoy the fun of work?

The mental pressure of the old gun was suddenly relaxed,

"In that case, let's even settle on the heroine's mother - what about Andy McDowell?"

"The heroine of 'Groundhog Day'?"

Charlotte smiled,

It's a pity that we can't directly say that our movie is a sequel to "Groundhog Day......"

- No, it's not a pity at all!

The old gun complained secretly in his heart.
