After that, the filming of "Happy Death Day" went smoothly, so smoothly that Charlotte felt that it was abnormal.

"So it's done?"

At the finale party, Charlize looked dazed and seemed to be a little reluctant.

Charlotte somewhat understood her reaction—

After experiencing the same stage with Jodie Foster, Charlize's performance has improved significantly. She seems to have entered a special state, a state that many actors are afraid of and addicted to.

"Sally, you won't get too deep into the drama and can't get out, right?"

Charlotte was a little worried.

"Don't worry, it won't. ”

As she spoke, the girl rolled her eyes - exactly the same expression that the heroine Ei used to use during the shooting.

- Hey, you're not convincing at all!

Looking at Charlotte's uneasy expression, Charlize suddenly smiled. This time, the smile is like a blooming rose.

"Really, don't worry, I'm kidding. ”

"You ......"

Mr. Director smiled helplessly,

"Are you showing me about your acting progress?"

"Sort of!"

"But how can I be sure that the way you look now is not acting?"

"This ......"

This time it was Charlize's turn to get stuck.

"Unless ......"

Charlotte whispered two words in Charlize's ear, and the girl's face flushed.

After the finale party, "Happy Death Day" entered the post-production stage.

Again, there are no difficult special effects in this film, but because of the infinite loop story mode that involves a lot of editing, it is by no means an easy task.

Normally, this is another battlefield of fierce competition between directors and producers.

Fortunately, the two main producers of the crew rarely spoke this time.

Mr. Westwood is the trust that comes from working together in Fatal Bend;

And Jodie Foster, in addition to relying on Charlotte because of the painting of the skin, is also because she is busy with the finishing touches of "Blair the Witch".

That's right, after an almost fraudulent publicity in the early stage, "Blair the Witch" has achieved quite impressive box office results.

Although it is inevitable that the box office will dive after the premiere, the film's profitability ratio is beyond imagination compared to the low cost.

This makes Jodie Foster, as the owner of the production and distribution company, have to keep an eye on those theaters with all his might to ensure that his earnings are not stolen by others.

No way, who made her "egg" company a small workshop?

It's a simple thing for Hollywood Seven, but she has to be careful here......

However, this gave Charlotte a good chance.

With no one to point a finger, he and Lao Gun and others quickly completed the editing. Then, the internal preview of "Happy Death Day" began.

The so-called internal test screening is actually a small-scale test screening after the basic production is completed, and the film company invites some lucky audiences and film critics to participate.

After the preview screening, participants will give evaluations and ratings. Based on these evaluations and scores, the filmmaker makes an expectation for the future of the film.

If the evaluation is good, of course, everyone is happy, and everyone is laughing and preparing to make money after the official release;

If the evaluation is not good, then it will be troublesome, not to mention the modification of the promotion plan caused by the expected drop, just the possibility of reshooting and correction is enough for the director and post-production staff to have a headache.

Of course, the evaluation of the internal preview screening is not very accurate.

Not to mention "Star Wars", which made the national film critics collectively look away, let's just say that "Pirates of the Caribbean", which will appear in the future, received the same average evaluation at the internal test screening.

At that time, Disney's president Michael Eisner almost sentenced the movie to death, but who would have thought that what followed was the big hit of "Pirates" and Captain Jack became famous all over the world......

However, regardless of whether the evaluation is good or not, whether the results are accurate or not, the results of the internal preview screening are not allowed to be disclosed, and there are legal agreements to bind it.

This was Charlotte's first time participating in an internal preview of her own film.

When "Fatal Bend" was released, there was no time to hold an internal test screening because of the heat of the "Bianers Valley Incident".

Moreover, with the cost of that movie, the new line did not pay much attention to it at that time......

And this time, because of the participation of the three companies of New Line, Orion and Jodie Foster's "Egg", if they want to cooperate tacitly with each other, they must first have an expectation of the movie.

This makes an in-house preview meeting essential.

"If the internal reviews are good, we hope to release it at Christmas. ”

Before the test screening, Mr. Westwood said in a casual chat with Charlotte.

"In other words, I may have two movies released this year?"

Charlotte pondered,

"I suddenly felt so tired. ”

"Definitely. ”

Mr. Westwood also sighed,

"For the average director, one movie a year is already very prolific. Your situation is indeed rare, and it is also a special case!"

That's right!

Charlotte nodded in her heart—

"Fatal Bend" was simply ordered to be in danger, and because it met the ghost tiger Wei Changhui, in order to make up for the popularity and cater to the time, it had to be released as soon as possible;

And "Happy Death Day"?

If it weren't for the peculiar state of Charlize and Alexis, he wouldn't have racked his brains to come up with such a movie.

"Hope everything goes well!"

After a few words with Mr. Westwood, Charlotte returned to her seat.

He didn't choose to go with the well-known film critics who came to the preview screening now.

On the one hand, everyone really doesn't know each other well, and this relationship is not easy to pull.

On the other hand, it's also because of the nature of the work of film critics – everything they say before watching a movie doesn't count.

Especially when he didn't stuff extra money.

Now, he's more concerned about Charlize sitting next to him.

Charlize was a little scared.

No way, the last time I participated in the premiere of "Fatal Bend" with Charlotte, I went directly into the world of the painting wall, and the strange situation in it still feels wrong to Charlize.

What's more, according to Charlotte, the premiere of "Happy Death Day" has more additional tasks on its shoulders -

Not to mention dealing with the painted skin and the evil god, the original purpose of this movie was to facilitate Charlotte to transmit the vitality obtained from the ghost tiger to Alexis.

It can't be a problem, right?

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything extra at this internal preview screening. ”

Charlotte grabbed the girl's hand and comforted,

"There weren't enough people at the internal preview screening, and the emotions generated weren't enough to be used to release spells. I'm going to wait for the real premiere!"

- So this time I just need to watch the movie quietly?

Charlize breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, Sally, have you been doing well lately?"

Charlotte asked in a low voice again.

Because they are busy with the post-production of "Happy Death Day", Charlotte and Charlize haven't communicated much recently.

Although they will "help" each other when they are "in need", Charlotte's understanding of Charlize's work situation is not very clear.

"I've been auditioning a few more recently. ”

Charlize thought for a moment and said,

"The Seven Deadly Sins lost to Gwyneth Paltrow, but The Twelve Monkeys succeeded. ”

- "The Seven Deadly Sins"?

- "Twelve Monkeys"!?

- Sally, you're making rapid progress!

Of course, Charlotte can hear that Charlize is talking about the heroine in these two auditions.

Although whether it is "Seven Deadly Sins" or "Twelve Monkeys", the heroine is basically a soy sauce player, but this is the heroine after all!

A year ago, Charlize was a little transparent who couldn't even play tricks!

In particular, if you compare it with Charlize Theron, who is still making soy sauce at the moment in the original time and space, you can appreciate the changes even more.

- This is probably the so-called butterfly effect!

Charlotte sighed in her heart, forgetting for a moment that she was the butterfly.

At this point, he had to comfort Charlize.

"It's normal that you can't fight Gwyneth Paltrow in "The Seven Deadly Sins", and her family has a lot of connections in this circle. ”

- The relationship can be pulled into the Oscar-winning actress, but the relationship is not wide!

Charlotte complained in her heart about the first water in the 90s,

Moreover, the starring role of this film is Brad Pitt...... Although it is a David Fincher movie, it is okay not to act. ”

"Hey, why doesn't Pete act?"

"This ......"

Charlotte was stunned.

"The main thing is that this guy has a habit of having an affair with the actress he works with, right?"

Charlize took Charlotte's words and smiled sweetly.
