Listing Charlize as one of the candidates for the heroine of "Guillotine Valley" is not Charlotte's will.

In fact, he has convinced Jodie Foster and another producer, Andrew Kevin Walker.

That's right, another producer!

After weeks of negotiations, Jodie Foster's "Egg" company finally reached an agreement with Paramount, which had similar scripts in its script library

Paramount made sure not to cause trouble, participated in the investment production of the "Guillotine Valley" project, and was responsible for the distribution, and Andrew Kevin Walker was Paramount's representative.

And the actress fought hard to keep her status as the first producer and ensure that her interests would not be eroded.

As for Charlotte, because she participated in a lot of preliminary preparations, she also successfully joined the producer team and became one of the three giants of the crew.

Among them, he used the image generation ability of the human skin book to test, and the script was detailed to the level of almost perversion, which played a decisive role.

After all, even if Paramount assembles another team of screenwriters, it may not be able to make such an accurate script.

At least, Andrew Kevin Walker, who is also a screenwriter, agrees with Charlotte because of this accurate script.

Therefore, when Jodie Foster fought for editing rights and producer status for him, Andrew Kevin Walker did not object.

And considering that Charlotte is also a writer and director at the same time, it can be said that he is the most influential person on the whole project.

But even so, on the issue of the hero and heroine, he can't say a word

As for the actor to be played by Johnny Depp, everyone has no opinion.

In particular, Depp has been persuaded by Charlotte, his agent did not open his mouth widely, and the actor's starring agreement was signed smoothly.

But in terms of the heroine, because Winona Ryder, who was originally scheduled, has been unconscious and completely looks like a vegetative person, this makes everyone have a headache.

Jodie Foster recommended Gwyneth Paltrow, while Charlotte still wanted to use Charlize anyway.

"In terms of classical temperament, Charlize may indeed be slightly inferior to Gwyneth. But she was prettier and younger. She is not yet 20 years old, and she can reflect a girlish feeling, which is in line with the setting of the heroine Katrina. ”

Seeing that Jodie Foster and Andrew Walker both nodded in agreement, Charlotte continued,

Moreover, the movie "Guillotine Valley" is not a pure British costume film. Actually, it's a costume fantasy horror film"

"It should have a mix of classical and fantasy dark winds, right?"

Andrew Walker, who has also been a screenwriter, can better understand Charlotte's intentions,

"Maybe given that we've already chosen Johnny Depp for the male lead, there should still be a small amount of gothic elements?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte nodded,

"And in this style, the heroine Katrina should be a bright sunshine in the darkness, she must be bright enough that people can remember her at a glance!"

"Gwyneth Paltrow isn't pretty!"

Andrew Walker hammered the word.

“......”

Looking at the two men in front of him who were not familiar with each other, but quickly joined forces because of aesthetic problems, feminist Jodie Foster was speechless for a while.

Having said all that, you just want a big vase that will attract the attention of the audience!

Although she wanted to say this, Judy also had to admit that there was some truth in what they said

Gwyneth Paltrow, although also beautiful, is not the kind of beauty at first sight. In this regard, she will definitely not be able to win Charlize, who even Judy finds amazing.

Moreover, limited to the facial structure, especially the high cheekbones, Gwyneth's sense of age will be more pronounced......

"Girly!"

Jodie Foster sighed in her heart.

She knew that according to Charlotte's script design, there should be two beautiful female characters in the entire "Guillotine Valley", one is the heroine Katrina, and the other is her stepmother.

Unlike Katrina, who is pure white in the setting, the stepmother, as the boss behind the scenes, can be said to be a representative of the glamorous femme fatale.

In the story, both of them are actually witches, but they are very different

The stepmother was predominantly black, while Katrina was mostly white;

The stepmother is vicious, while Katrina is kind;

The stepmother is mature and beautiful, while Katrina is an innocent girl......

In other words, in order to highlight and contrast, Katrina's girlishness is a must.

In this regard, not to mention Gwyneth Paltrow, who looks slightly older, and Winona Ryder, who was born with a girly face, can't win against Charlize Theron, who is not yet 20 years old. Time is the enemy of all women!

Thinking that she was over thirty years old, Miss Actress couldn't help but feel melancholy......

"In short, I used this method to convince them to include you in the list of candidates for the heroine. ”

Here, Charlotte continued to explain to Charlize,

"Sally, I want you to do your best to take this role!"

"Why?"

Charlize was a little puzzled,

"Charlotte, why does it have to be me?"

From what she knew about Charlotte, she knew that this man would be so obsessed with using himself, and not just because of the relationship between the two.

"Because there may be a lot of spells to cast during the filming of this movie, I need someone I can absolutely trust to assist me in using spells!"

Charlotte pointed to Charlize,

"And, Sally, the character of Katrina, although according to the script, is a pure white character, but in my mind, this is not enough. ”

"She needs to have the mystery of a witch at the same time!"

This is actually Charlotte's own new experience when she rewrote the script based on the original world of "Guillotine Valley".

In the original world of "Guillotine Valley", Christina Ricci's interpretation of the role of Katrina is actually very good, but there is some lack of mystery.

This leads to the fact that in the second half of the film, when the actor Ikabu suspects that Katrina is the murderer for some reason, the audience will only think that the actor is stupid.

Because of the role of Katrina, being played by Christina Ricci is too innocent!

is so pure that the audience completely ruled out the possibility that she was the murderer just based on their intuitive feelings.

If in the end, she is really the murderer, it will be unexpected.

But she is not a murderer at all.

The suspense component of this part is equivalent to being completely in vain!

Originally, the whole "Guillotine Valley" has always seemed confusing because it absorbed some suspense elements, but it fell off the chain on the too pure white Katrina.

Therefore, when it was Charlotte's turn to shoot herself, he hoped that in addition to the girlishness and innocence in Katrina, there should also be a corresponding sense of mystery.

"You think I can do it?"

Facing Charlize, who was a little unconfident, Charlotte nodded.

"Mystery is contagious, Sally!"
