"Judy, Judy, something is wrong!"

Because she came back from Bianers Valley very late yesterday, Jodie Foster fell asleep late. This morning, she rarely didn't get up to work out, but chose to curl up in the warm silk quilt and sleep comfortably.

However, her life assistant did not go along with her, and the little girl, who was a few years younger than Foster, slammed the door of her bedroom noisily early in the morning, making it impossible for the Sleeping God and Oneiroi to stay any longer.

"What's the matter, Anna? Is the damn Hinckley shot, or is Dr. Hannibal showing up again?"

The actress got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, but her mind was obviously still asleep.

"Neither! Look at this!"

Anna shoved a newspaper in front of Jodie Foster's eyes. I was so excited that I almost stuck it on her face at once.

"What is this?"

Because he hadn't woken up yet, Foster's eyes had been focused for a long time, and he saw where Anna motioned for her attention,

"Alan S. B. Mike Arrow's body was found by the Los Angeles police, not far from the Bians Valley, and the body was covered with iron arrows and strangled by chains with iron spikes!?

Thinking of a similar plot in the sample film of "Fatal Bend" I saw yesterday, the actress couldn't help but feel a chill in her back, but the next moment, her soul as a producer or businessman immediately woke up-

"Hurry up and contact Westwood of the new line company! Just say that "Fatal Bend", we have decided to invest more!"

Although after watching the sample film at Charlotte's yesterday, Jodie Foster is already very satisfied with this unfinished film - in her opinion, to be able to shoot such an impactful horror film at such a small cost, Charlotte Booth, who is just thirty years old, is not inferior to some well-known directors in terms of directing ability - however, on the question of whether to invest more, her answer is still "still to consider".

On the one hand, this is to control her position and avoid being too eager to lose the initiative in negotiations, and on the other hand, Judy wants to study again to see if she can grab more benefits in this low-budget film that seems very profitable at present.

However, this news in the newspaper made her unable to wait any longer-

In the final analysis, the reason why the project "Fatal Bend" needs additional investment from the "egg" production company she owns is mainly to strengthen post-production and publicity and distribution, especially publicity and distribution. After all, no matter how good a film is, if it lacks publicity and promotion, it is still difficult to make a profit. This gave Judy a chance to pinch the other side.

But Alan S. B. Mike Arrow's body was found at this time, but the other party had another choice.

After all, this is Hollywood, whether it is alive or dead, as long as there is value in use, it will definitely be used. Judy could have imagined on her heels that that Westwood guy would definitely take this opportunity to hype up and make the media and the public associate Mike Arrowy's death with the movie "Fatal Bend".

Think about it! The former director suddenly disappeared before the start of filming, but in the end, the body was found near the location where the film was filmed, and the wounds on his body still left traces similar to several murder tools designed in the film-

Those tabloid reporters are going crazy!!

Spanning the two major sectors of entertainment and society, there are murders, movies, and a hint of mystery. And if the paparazzi are willing to dig in, they will definitely be able to dig up some glamorous elements - after all, in Hollywood, Judy has never heard of a director who can control his trouser belt - and most importantly, the news is very true!!

Judy can imagine how grateful the third-rate tabloid editors who usually make up stories to make a living are to Allen, and maybe someone will raise a half-eaten burger or doughnut in their hand and shout "Thank you Allen for giving us food!" ......

In short, the life of the American people is too boring, and a little curious thing can be excited for half a day, and Alan Mike Arrowy, who was unknown before his death, can only be regarded as a second-rate screenwriter and rookie director, may be on fire after his death!

At that time, with this kind of spontaneous publicity, it is difficult to say whether the Westwood guy will still be able to look at his additional investment, after all, he has taken the money now, and he will have to share more of the money he will make in the future.

"The agreement for additional investment must be finalized before the situation really reverses!"

Judy made up her mind, but after a while, her assistant Anna came back with a sad face:

"Wiswood's phone is busy......"

"What!?!! old fox?"

At this time, Anthony Westwood, the "old fox", was happily talking to Charlotte on the phone.

"God is helping us!!"

Mr. Producer's face was flushed with excitement, and he looked like he had eaten twenty kilograms of sildenafil,

"Charlotte, you know what? I've been feeling a little sick in my heart for the past two days, and I'm ready to be hospitalized. But seeing this news, I feel like I'm a Kryptonian visitor now, and I'm ready to save the earth at any time! Thank God, that son of a bitch Alan has done a good thing!"

"Calm down, Tony!"

Charlotte hurried to comfort Westwood. He didn't want his producer to have a heart attack and hang up because he was too excited when he was only one step away from success.

"God help those who help themselves, besides, we still have a lot of work to do, and now is not the time to open champagne to celebrate. ”

"You're right!"

Westwood took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little - and at the same time moved a little away from the excitement to the point of heart attack,

"Later, we must try to take advantage of the discovery of Alan's body, while the group of shit reporters are still paying attention to this matter, and stir up the popularity of "Fatal Bend", as hot as we can!!"

"Do you think we're going to let Eliza Kunis out of the way?"

Charlotte followed suit with a rather vicious suggestion. In the final analysis, he was able to become a director, although it was thanks to the death of Allen and Eliza Kunis, the former heroines, but he was really pitted by these two -

After all, it is not an easy thing to take over the guide tube at the moment before the start of the film, not to mention the strange things encountered, just the many sleepless nights experienced in order to temporarily revise the script and prepare for the shooting of the storyboard in advance are enough to make Charlotte resentful of these two.

"Wait a minute. I need to set a pace and release the follow-up news at the right moment. ”

As an old fritter and a miserable person who was pitted by those two, producer Westwood can understand Charlotte's mood very well. However, now he is a lot more open-minded, after all, Allen and they have already been determined to hang up, and now he can still use their deaths to hype up his own film, what else is there to complain about?

"Whoever has the last laugh, who laughs the best, Allen!"

Suppressing the smugness in his heart, Westwood suddenly remembered something,

"By the way, Charlotte, do you think we still need Jodie Foster's additional investment now?"

"This ......"

Charlotte pondered for a while on the other end of the phone,

"From the perspective of improving the quality of the film, that money doesn't mean much to us, after all, now that the shooting has been completed, this is not a sci-fi blockbuster that pays attention to special effects, and the room for improvement is very limited just to strengthen post-production, and if it is remade, the cost will increase too much. However, if you take into account the announcement......"

"This money can help a lot!"

Westwood understood what Charlotte meant. In fact, as a producer, he understands the process of film promotion and the trickiness of it better than Charlotte, who is a director-indeed, Allen's body was accidentally discovered, which saved them a lot of publicity costs, but if they want to take this opportunity to really hype up "Fatal Bend", they still need to spend real money.

"However, if you take this money, ......"

As a producer, he is naturally sensitive to the relationship between investment and sharing, which really makes him reluctant to introduce more investment in the later stage - after all, when it comes to settlement, what needs to be distributed is a green knife of real value!

And Charlotte, who was on the other end of the phone, seemed to hear what his producer meant, and he was silent for a while before suddenly saying:

"Tony, should we think about it from a different angle? You know, no matter whether "Fatal Bend" makes or loses, I can't make much money on this film, especially since I gave up the small amount of your share to win everyone's support - of course, I don't think there is much money in this part - and you? You are an old guy who sits on the cold bench all the year round, and the benefits you can get in this are actually limited, after all, when Allen was there, you as a producer could only be regarded as a nominal name. ”

Speaking of this, Charlotte paused for a moment, so that Westwood, who was on the other side of the phone, understood what she meant,

"In that case, why should we care so much once the film is successful. Who should we give the profits to? We won't be able to take much anyway! In comparison, how successful the film can be is more meaningful to us, isn't it?"

- Since you can't get real profits, it's good to get more false fame.

The meaning of Charlotte's words is obvious, and from a personal point of view, there is no problem with what she says. But...... Forget it, whatever!

Anyway, the shit company of the new line is not good at all for loyal old employees like themselves, and those investors ...... For a mature producer, investors are synonymous with Kaizi, don't pit them at this time, but when?

“...... You're right!"

Once he made up his mind, Anthony Westwood's ability to act was still very fast, and after he hung up the phone with Charlotte, he was about to contact Jodie Foster, but suddenly a question came to mind-

As early as when she first took over as director, Charlotte had studied a plan to use the disappearance of Allen and Eliza Kunis to hype up. This was again proposed by the kid, and he just thought it was worth a try. But now, Allen's body was found not sooner or later, when the movie was about to enter the warm-up promotion, and there were similar scars on it as in the movie?

Could it be that it is not God who helps you, but ......

As Charlotte said, self-helpers......

Mr. Producer, who has long been accustomed to seeing the ups and downs of Hollywood, can't help but have a cold war.

And yet—

Whatever it is! As long as he doesn't get discovered, he can make money! It doesn't matter if he's an angel or a devil! Everything else is the FBI's business!

Mr. Westwood didn't think much more, and went on calling—

This is Hollywood!
