Chapter 186: My Ghost Friend
Depp stood up suddenly.
His face turned pale with fright, and his heart pounded.
And across from him, director Charlotte was looking at him with a funny face.
"The last one feels very good!"
Charlotte gave a thumbs up and a word of praise blocked all Depp's complaints.
"Johnny, you've found your senses!"
“......”
Depp wanted to curse, but opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Although he doesn't know how the strange beetle appeared, Depp understands that this is actually Mr. Director guiding him into the play in a silent way.
As for the fright, it is a punishment for him who is not prepared and can't get into the state for a long time!
"Ikabukaran, as a young police officer who believes in science, is just starting out. So, there are two sides to him. ”
After startling Depp, Charlotte finally began to give him a serious lecture,
"On the one hand, he is very obsessed with science, even to the point of dogma, and often shows unnecessary toughness. ”
On the other hand, in the face of strange and terrifying cases, he was young and inexperienced, and he was panicked and often frightened. ”
"In short, this is actually a pretending to be a calm young man, an inexperienced academic, very timid but ambitious, quirky and confident, and sometimes a little sissy......"
As he spoke, he glanced at Depp,
"Johnny, grab the feeling, you're sure you can play it well. ”
"Okay!"
Although there are countless MMPs in his heart, after Charlotte's explanation and the scare just now, Depp does feel that he has found the feeling of Ichabukaran,
"Let's try again!"
This time, Depp performed well.
Whether it is the confidence when he arrives at the scene at the beginning, the pale face when he sees the headless corpse at first glance, or the strange atmosphere when he wears strange props to inspect the scene, it all shows the feeling of a fledgling young man.
And while enduring the fear of examining the corpse, he also muttered "interesting" to give himself courage, which made those who watched it laugh.
But I still love the "interesting" sound of a beetle crawling out of the neck of a corpse!
Charlotte sighed to herself.
The shot of the beetle crawling out of the neck of the corpse is a highlight, or rather a scary point, in this scene.
Originally, he didn't plan to shoot this scene directly
After all, as many Hollywood directors will say, when shooting a movie, the actors you are most afraid of encountering are children and animals.
Both of these are difficult to control.
Among them, animals are more difficult to deal with than children.
After all, children are still human beings, and speech can still communicate, while animals ......
Mammals like dogs and horses are fine, but if you come across something like an insect, you're really left to your fate.
The same is true for the beetles that are used today.
In order to avoid trouble, Charlotte originally wanted to use special effects to compose this shot in post.
Therefore, in the script, it is not specifically written.
However, in order to make Depp feel for it, or to scare him, he had to make a real beetle.
It's not easy.
Not to mention where the real beetle came from, just trying to scare Depp is not a simple matter
That had to be done with the right timing to take him by surprise.
This is not something that ordinary people can do.
Fortunately, Charlotte, who knows spells, has never been an ordinary person.
In fact, that beetle was simply transformed by a ghost that he drove to transform.
That's why it's so timely!
"Ruifan, do you want to have a few more rivalry games with your former friends?"
Charlotte asked the ghost in her heart.
Raven Phoenix!
This is the ghost that has just transformed into a beetle!
is Johnny Depp's best friend, a talented actor who died young.
After collecting Raven's ghost from the back alley of Depp's Black Mamba Bar, Charlotte put him in an ant bottle.
Just like Alexis before.
After Charlotte's many guidance, it was not until shortly before the start of filming in "Guillotine Valley" that Ruivan's ghost was able to get rid of the chaotic state of unjust souls and could think normally.
Of course, you still have to use Charlotte's brain.
However, unlike Charlize and Alexis, who have been mixed together and are almost inseparable from each other, Charlotte has allowed Rivan Phoenix to borrow her brain, but she controls it very carefully.
He didn't want the soul of a person who died of an overdose to become like his second personality, that was too bad!
Even if he knew that Rivan's death was directly related to the nightmare attached to Depp and Winona.
In fact, most of the time, Rivan's ghost is still in that ant bottle by him, and he will only summon it with spells when he needs to use it.
Then give him the ability to think temporarily.
Like now
"It's really nice to be able to play against Johnny again!"
Rivan Phoenix answered Charlotte's question in his heart,
"He wasn't aware of my presence, but even then, it would have been nice to come a few more times. ”
"Really, let's do it a few more times!"
Charlotte readily agreed to Rivan's request,
"Do you want to just attach yourself to Depp!"
"Is that okay?"
"Of course!"
Charlotte answered Rivan's question in her heart,
"Unlike being sealed in an ant bottle by me, attached to Depp's body, you can always stay relatively awake. ”
"But that won't affect Johnny's body, will it?"
As a friend, Rivan cares about Depp very much.
"As long as you don't want to affect him, he won't be affected!"
Charlotte said very politely,
"Of course, I'll also cast spells specifically to prevent the two of you from really merging together. ”
Since the Charlize and Alexis incident, Charlotte has specifically improved her spells to avoid similar situations from happening again
Now, even if the ghost of Rivan Phoenix is secretly put on Johnny Depp's body, as long as he controls it well, one person and one ghost will not fuse.
After all, as someone who has been dealing with ghosts for a long time, he hates to be borrowed by ghosts to borrow his thinking skills.
Even if this goblin is under his control.
The things of the evil god at that time, once it was disgusting enough!
After finding the feeling of Ikabukaran, Depp's performance has been reborn, and many shots are shot in one pass, which is like a divine help.
Well, maybe it's "like a ghost".
Charlotte saw it very clearly, after he secretly put the ghost of Rivan Phoenix on Depp, the former began to help the latter channel his emotions.
Depp's own acting talent is not bad, and with the help of Rivan Phoenix, an acting genius......
All in all, the next few days went well for the filming until
"Today we're going to shoot Ikab dissecting the corpse of widow Winship, Johnny, are you ready?"
Depp smiled wryly and nodded.
