Chapter 258: Monster Inc
In fact, while interested in spells and ghosts, Charlotte does not intend to be an exorcist who "serves the people".
- Even the old ghost who taught him the spell in the first place didn't mean anything like that.
The cause of everything is just interest.
And in this era, after being able to really use spells, Charlotte will charge some rewards every time she helps someone exorcise demons.
On the one hand, this is to win the trust of others, and on the other hand, it is also because he really has no intention of doing it completely in vain.
Of course, many times, because he was very interested in the ghosts he encountered, the rewards he received were symbolic-
Like Charlize at the beginning, or Jodie Foster later.
- But in the end, men, when facing beautiful women, they will always unconsciously increase their brains.
But that's not the case with Keanu Reeves this time.
No matter how handsome this gentleman is, there is no additional attraction for Charlotte, who tends to be normal.
Moreover, after almost two years of experience after crossing over, Charlotte is no longer as eager as she was when facing ghosts.
On the contrary, he is now gradually realizing that there are too many ghosts in Hollywood.
Although, according to his theory that "ghosts are born from the dark side of the human heart", this situation is not inexplicable, Charlotte still wonders if there is something else behind this that he does not know.
In particular, the mysterious consciousness in the hell gate gave him a sense of crisis.
Although on the surface, he showed confidence in the face of Charlize's worries, but deep down, he was still a little worried.
This worry made Charlotte a little more cautious when facing ghosts.
- Even if he destroys the goblins, if there is a mastermind behind the ghosts, does that mean that he will also be exposed to the masterminds?
For all these reasons, Charlotte didn't plan to help Keanu Reeves get rid of the curse on him right away.
In fact, although this curse does not seem right, if Charlotte is not miscalculated, it will not actually be harmful for a few years.
Charlotte felt that it was the right thing to take advantage of this time to deal with a series of things at hand first-
First of all, it is the "dragon" that he discovered with the help of Alexis and Rivan some time ago.
Although it is true that there is no danger to the dragon if it is not provoked, considering the special situation of Charlize's mother, it is not impossible to be forced to fight the dragon.
What's more, Charlotte is still pondering the plan of "how to train your dragon......
Secondly, there is the evil energy that disappeared from Gwyneth Paltrow.
As someone who has studied spells for a long time, Charlotte doesn't believe that ghosts and the like disappear for no reason.
- will disappear, more likely, it will be transferred to someone else.
"If the seven evil qi representing the seven original sins are all transferred and gathered on one person, it will definitely be a big trouble!"
Charlotte inferred secretly.
He always felt that if the evil spirit was being transferred, the way of transfer would never be peaceful.
This reminded him of evil methods such as Gu raising......
Finally, there is the mysterious consciousness in the gates of hell.
Not to mention whether there is a way to deal with it, Charlotte feels that she must first find a way to understand the other party's intentions.
After all, the gates of hell themselves are in spells, and they represent demise. The consciousness that can be hidden in it will definitely not be simple......
- Compared to these troublesome things, the curse on Keanu Reeves, although it is also clueless, is not harmful for the time being.
So, he wanted to think about it later.
But Ruifan's worry about his friend made him think of another way-
Can you use the curse on Keanu Reeves to make a temptation to fight poison with poison?
However, this kind of thing requires the subjective cooperation of the parties.
- That's why he needs Ruifan to convince the other party.
Of course, the plan he said was not entirely fictional -
After researching the spell rendering technology, Charlotte found that there are indeed many places where spells can be applied in the filming of movies.
So, what about using ghosts as actors?
At present, Charlotte has really used only one ghost actor, Alexis.
As for Ruifan, although he has had a lot of drama addiction in "Guillotine Valley", in essence, he is still attached to other actors.
He doesn't really appear in the movie.
However, the previous experience still made Charlotte feel that this is a feasible solution.
At the very least, in some fantasy blockbusters where gods and monsters are rampant, it is definitely a good choice to use a large number of ghost actors.
- Both realistic and cost-saving. And the ghosts can also collect some of the audience's fears as their own energy through the big screen.
It can be said to be a win-win.
It's just that how to assemble a crew or even a production company where a person and a ghost can live in harmony and work together is really a big problem.
At least, after a few movies, Charlotte didn't think she could keep the living people on the crew hidden.
At the very least, completely hiding the lead actor and cinematographer is an impossible task.
Charlotte, as a master of deception, is very clear -
He is able to deceive a certain number of people within a certain period of time. But it is impossible to deceive all people for a long time.
A scam is called a scam because it will be exposed.
Charlotte didn't want the company she had formed to end up being exposed like an ordinary scam.
So, he needs to find some like-minded people and actors who are willing to work with ghosts.
Behind the scenes, he wanted to start with the members of the Ghost Party Studios.
After all, the old gun is even more of an old friend. And photographer Addison Young, after several collaborations, Charlotte also felt that he was more reliable.
And the actors, in addition to Charlize, who already knew everything, Charlotte chose Keanuri Weiss and Johnny Depp.
On the one hand, these two will become first-line or even superstars in the future, and they will not lose money by cooperating with them.
On the other hand, with the help of Rivan, their good brother, Charlotte was more confident to convince them.
"But what if they don't believe what I say and think my presence is a hallucination?"
After listening to Charlotte's explanation, Rivan Phoenix understood his intentions.
It should be said that Ruifan is also interested in letting his friends know about his existence, but he is still a little worried that the other party will not believe it.
- After all, there seems to be no such thing as a good brother who dies and turns into a ghost and then comes back to make his own movie, even in the mountain of scripts of the seven major Hollywood studios.
Riven felt that the worldview of his two friends would be smashed by Charlotte.
But after smashing, it is still a question whether they can smoothly accept this ghost world with a sudden change in painting style......
Charlotte wasn't too worried about that,
"I have always been convincing and law-abiding, and I believe they will understand. ”
“......”
Regarding the words of Mr. Director, Ruifan wisely reserved his opinion.
Also, "reason" and "physics" are both "reason", as for "law-abiding"-
"The 'law' you said is a spell, right?"
"yes!"
Charlotte simply admitted and said her plan,
"When the preparations are complete, I will help you give them your dreams. With the help of Nightmares, it's much easier for me to pull people to sleep. You can convince them in dreams. ”
"What if I can't convince me?"
Ruifan asked quietly.
"Then delete the memories of their dreams—I can still do that—and renew the dreams, and then convince them!, I'm sure you'll succeed sooner or later!"
Charlotte's answer was domineering.
“......”
Rivan decided that it was better not to rush to Keanu and Depp before he was completely prepared.
- After all, Charlotte also said that the curse on Keanu will not be harmful for a while!
