Chapter 012: Changing Face - Reason
"Is this really that Charlize!?"
Charlotte was amazed by the performance of the girl in front of her.
Although so far, he has not been able to confirm whether the blonde girl in front of him, although covered in thorns, is obviously still very immature, whether it is the cold Queen Theron in the future. But even if she is, although she will be an Oscar-winning goldeon in the future, according to the comments Charlotte has seen, Charlize Theron's acting skills are not top-notch.
She was born as a model, and she also has the common problem of a model-turned-actor, and her facial expressions are relatively rigid and not rich enough. Not to mention that compared to actresses of Meryl Streep's level, she is also lacking in the face of some rising stars, such as her eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence - it is said that in "The Burning Plains", Therlon, who was already a queen at the time, was dominated by her big cousin, who was just a fledgling - although Charlotte had never seen that film.
Fortunately, in "Snow White and the Hunter", she can still be at ease in the face of Kristen Stewart, who is also a junior.
Therefore, Charlize Theron is not a talented actor, and her subsequent improvement in acting skills depends on the slow accumulation of time. In this way, when she is not yet twenty years old and is just a fledgling, what will her acting skills be? So, before this, Charlotte actually didn't have much hope for Charlize's acting skills.
However, the blonde girl did surprise him-
Charlotte had seen the old version of "Spider-Man", of course, not the James Cameron version. Among them, the scene of Spider-Man hanging upside down and kissing Mary Jane in the rain is very famous, and it can almost be regarded as the kiss of the century in the new century film industry - and Charlize's performance, although only virtual, gives him a completely different from the original, but it is more addictive and beautiful.
You must know that although the kiss scene is a magnificent color in the movie, however, this kind of scene is not easy to film, let alone a virtual kiss scene. It is absolutely silly for a person to curl his lips and kiss into the air, even for a beauty of Charlizer's level. But the blonde girl's performance at this time couldn't help but make him feel amazed, as if he could also see the non-existent spider boy in the air, he was hanging upside down in the air, intoxicated by the passionate kiss of Mary Jane, the girl next door.
"Should I say that I should be impressed for three days? I always feel that something is wrong!"
Although she sighed at the surprise of Charlize's acting skills, Charlotte also knew that among them, it was more likely Alexis's acting skills - after all, it was not the real Charlize who was driving this beautiful shell now, but the "Alexis" they were going to deal with, although Charlize also remained awake, but it was more like the usual subconscious, which could only provide emotions and imagination for the performance.
However, it was this "that" that surprised him even more-
Charlotte knew that although he was proficient in all kinds of spell knowledge, because he had just traveled to this era where he could practice spells, he didn't have time to accumulate strength, so he was actually not very good at exorcism and ghost hunting. At the very least, it wasn't easy for him to get a ghost like Alexis that could be attached to a living person. So, in order to guarantee victory, Charlotte chose to set a trap. However, how to lure the ghost Alexis into a trap is a very headache.
Just like he had done with Charlize Sciop before, a ghost of Alexis's level was not inherently powerful. Unlike his master, the old ghost, Alexis' ghost is usually unconscious at all, and is completely a chaotic body full of negative emotions. Ghosts in this state are actually not terrible, as long as you keep your mind balanced, don't produce too many negative emotions, and don't do something that may activate ghosts, even if you are possessed by this kind of ghost, you can still be safe and sound - but this is also easier said than done, it is not easy to maintain a peaceful and optimistic state of mind for a long time, and people who can maintain this state of mind are basically impossible to produce negative emotions and attract ghosts.
So, in general, if you are possessed by a ghost, the safest way is to expel it directly. The problem faced by Charlotte is that if you want to exorcise Alexis, you must rely on the trap that has been set, but in the same way, the act of expelling Alexis will inevitably activate this originally unconscious ghost, so that she can borrow the body and brain of the possessed Charlize, and you can see Charlotte's arrangement and judge whether it is a trap or not. In this way, it is likely that it will not step into the trap of this preset at all.
At this time, it was Charlize's turn to appear.
Just as Charlotte told her, the ghost Alexis took over control of Charlize's body, in essence, it was like it and Charlize's consciousness had fallen off, and Charlize's consciousness changed from the original subjective consciousness state to a deeper and more ambiguous, ghost-like subconscious state. Consciousness in this state, although it cannot directly control the body, can interfere with consciousness and secretly drive its actions.
For example, the previous suicide of Charlize was actually largely the result of Alexis's ghost interfering in the subconscious. At that time, although Charlize was in a drunken state, although he did not completely lose control of his body, his already depressed mood was seriously amplified by Alexis, and he made a suicidal move.
Charlotte's plan is to report back and forth, so that Charlize's consciousness and Alexis will fall off, and then subconsciously affect Alexis, who controls the body, to make it hallucinate, so that it can cooperate with Charlotte's plan and lure her into a trap. Then again, if there were no hallucinations, Charlize's messy bedroom, Charlotte insisted that it was an audition room, even if she had no heart like Forrest Gump, she wouldn't believe it.
It's not that he didn't think about really going to an audition room and making this trap more realistic, but on the one hand, both of them are shy, Charlize is certainly only one step away from imitating the little match girl, Charlotte herself is not much better, not to mention that he has just crossed over, and he doesn't know a lot about the new body, so it's really not suitable at this time, and there is no way to get an audition room to do the show;
On the other hand, from the perspective of spellcasting, the home of the protected person is a place full of magic, whether it is the previous invitation to the door god, or some other spells, it will be additionally strengthened here. The power of blood and emotion contained in the noun "home" is beyond imagination, and even if you are abused in this home, and you have to live in the attic or cupboard, it can still protect you.
Because of these factors, Charlotte eventually chose to set a trap at Charlize's home. However, in this way, two problems must be solved -
1. How to keep Charlize's consciousness awake when it is in a subconscious state after being replaced. The subconscious mind is a mess of chaos, and it is difficult to stay awake when trapped in it, but Charlize's consciousness is not a ghost, and in an unawake state, she can't rely on instinct to do what Charlotte wants her to do, so she must stay conscious.
Fortunately, before Charlotte crossed over, although he was almost unable to effectively cultivate spells because of the end of the law era, he did a lot of strange research and found a lot of drugs that could undergo wonderful changes in combination with spell casting. It was one case before that Charlize was put to sleep with the help of hypnotone, so as to reduce the difficulty of summoning the possessed Alexis, and now it is another case - painkillers are a very common drug, but overdose can cause people to have a fluttering hallucination, slightly confused in consciousness, used more times, and even produce drug-like drug dependence, so this drug is often abused by many people. Charlotte, on the other hand, found that an overdose of painkillers combined with his spells could keep people conscious when they were possessed by ghosts......
2. On the premise that Charlize's consciousness remains awake, how can it have enough influence on the ghost who controls her body to make it hallucinate and step into Charlotte's special trap without suspicion. This depends on Charlize's imagination and emotional control ability, and in a way, it is indeed a test of her ability as an actress.
Charlotte thought that this would not be easy for her, who was still very immature as an actor, and even prepared Plan B, but she didn't expect that the blonde girl's acting skills had a big explosion, controlling her emotions freely, so that Alexis, who controlled her body, completely fell into hallucinations, mistakenly thought that she was auditioning, and stepped into the trap step by step. In a way, this ability to control emotions and imagination is even more amazing than Alexis's superb acting skills.
Maybe Charlize is more suitable for the methodological way of acting, which requires psychological and emotional input! Although a beauty of her level basically doesn't need much acting skills, it seems a bit funny to say that the acting genre is a little funny, but so what? Monroe is still a methodist......
“Cut!”
Although she was surprised by Charlize's explosion of acting skills, Charlotte did not forget what she had to do - in his script, he was playing the role of casting director, a casting director for Mary Jane, the auditioning actress for James Cameron's version of "Spider-Man," which was in fact completely non-existent. He watched Alexis perform almost, decisively shouted to stop, and then changed to a satisfied look:
"Very good! Alexis, you're doing a great job! Damn, you're actually the best actress in today's audition! The women in front of you are either scratching their heads endlessly, or they just giggle non-stop! They think what is this!?This is not some third-rate horror movie, as long as the blonde has big breasts and can run, this is a James Cameron movie!!"
Speaking of this, he groaned for a moment, and finally simply waved his hand,
"Forget it! I'm very short on time, and I have a lot of actors to interview later, so I won't play any pretend reserved games! Miss Alexis, I think you are the most suitable actress to interview Mary Jane, and I want to initialize a contract with you now, is that okay?"
