Chapter 164: Symphonic Lover's Dream
Winona Ryder lay on the soft queen bed, tossing and turning.
"Why do you want us back together!? Does it have anything to do with you!?"
She wanted to scream and throw the pillow out, but she didn't know who to throw it to.
"Judy is so eventful!"
In desperation, she had to cover her face with a pillow weakly,
"It's so troublesome!"
Today, Jodie Foster, who is friends with her, handed her a script, saying that she hoped that she could play the heroine.
Winona was initially a little interested in the script called "Guillotine Valley", but after a general look at the description of the male lead
"This feeling is tailor-made for him, right?"
Realizing that it might be her ex-boyfriend who had broken up playing against her, Winona couldn't help but feel awkward.
It's not that she doesn't have a nostalgia for Johnny, but ......
The irritability made her unable to sleep, but in the middle of the night, she couldn't leave the bed without interest.
Half-asleep, she suddenly felt a strong force coming from beneath her
The soft bed opened a wide mouth and swallowed Winona in one fell swoop.
The next moment, blood gushed out of the big mouth on the bed like a fountain.
The blood spurted so high that it splattered directly onto the white ceiling.
Gravity seemed to flip at this moment, spurting blood endlessly, and then reversing gravity, converging on the ceiling, gradually forming a pool of blood......
"Ah!!h
Winona screamed and sat up from the big bed.
"It's this dream again!"
It wasn't the first time she had this dream. At first, she thought it might have something to do with her relationship with Depp.
After all, this dream is very similar to the death of Johnny Depp's character in "Ghost Street......
"But we've broken up!!"
Although this is not the real reason for the two of them to break up, Winona, who is a little nervous, does have lingering feelings about this dream.
However, even now that the two have broken up, this nightmare still comes from time to time.
"It's not a way to go on like this!"
Winona sighed subconsciously.
Also sighing is Johnny Depp.
He also had a nightmare of being swallowed by a bed and then turned into a pool of blood.
Unlike Winona, who is easily panicked, I don't know whether to say calm or unresponsive, Depp's reaction after waking up is unhurried.
He even had time to light a cigarette and lie on the bed and spit out a lot of smoke.
If you don't look at his trembling hands, you probably don't realize he's having a nightmare.
"If only we could do something bigger!"
Depp thought regretfully.
However, thinking of his friend Rivan Phoenix, who died behind his bar due to an overdose, he felt that he could hold on a little longer.
"Maybe it's the after-effects of withdrawal! Otherwise, I wouldn't think of 'Ghost Street' again. ”
Johnny was so self-comforting, but he forgot that this nightmare was not the first time, and he was not the only one who dreamed.
So, when Charlotte came to visit the next day, he didn't say anything.
Charlotte's visit was for "Guillotine Valley".
After discussing with Jodie Foster, he quickly wrote a more detailed script based on the previous draft.
Because of the "Guillotine Valley" movie in the original world as a reference, his script was written quickly.
What's more, he also has a human book, which can verify the script at any time to see if there are rhythm problems after it is transformed into a moving picture.
Based on the results of the human skin book, Charlotte fine-tuned many details of the script, not only solving many possible pacing problems in advance, but also determining which shots to focus on.
This time, with a detailed script, Charlotte specially registered. And now, Jodie Foster is trying to invest in La, based on his new script.
As for the hero and heroine of the script, because there was a preset before, he and the actress simply made a division of labor
He got Johnny Depp!
After all, during the filming of "Happy Death Day", the two established a good relationship, not to mention, Charlotte had a ready-made excuse to persuade Depp
"I brought the script of the movie I promised you, Johnny!"
As soon as Charlotte entered the door, she took out the script with a golden knife and went straight to the point.
"The male protagonist is you, and the female protagonist is Winona Ryder!"
Opportunities have been created for you, see if you want to take them?
Although Charlotte didn't say the last thing, Depp saw it clearly.
"This ......"
Although Charlotte did promise to make a movie specifically for them to create opportunities, Depp took that more as a joke.
After all, how easy is it to make a movie on your own terms in Hollywood?
But now, this guy has not only done it, but it hasn't been for long.
"You're such a resolute person!"
Depp, who is still running a bar, can be said to be an out-and-out chronicler, and he admires Charlotte's mobility.
"But have you solved the problem of funding?"
"Can I still come to you if it's solved?"
Charlotte rolled her eyes and squirted Depp with reason,
"If I hadn't promised you to create an opportunity for you, what do you think I was in such a hurry to come to you?"
is obviously a lack of funds, and he wants to get the actors first, and then use the actors to fool the investment, but Mr. Director is a rake.
"Only when the investment is not in place, I, the director, get the actors first, can I force the producer to accept the leading role I chose through a fait accompli, otherwise"
"Otherwise, there will be a public audition!"
Depp, who has gone through many auditions, naturally knows the production process of Hollywood movies, and he also knows that Charlotte's words are not false
In the crew, it is the producer, not the director, who really holds the highest decision.
Of course, most producers don't interfere too much with the director during the filming process because of their expertise.
The producer's influence on the film is more reflected through pre-preparation and post-editing.
And in the preliminary preparation, an important task is to select actors.
It's just that, unlike post-editing, which is difficult for the director to intervene in, the director's opinion is still very important when casting.
But even so, it is not impossible to be vetoed by the producer due to some commercial or even private factors.
However, if the director can come up with a very good list of leading actors before the producer intervenes, or even reach a preliminary verbal agreement, the producer who is generally not too troubled will be happy to save trouble.
That's what Charlotte meant in her words.
Depp thinks Charlotte's words make sense, but
"I always feel that something is wrong!"
