Chapter 163: Angel Matchmaker
"That's an amazing ability!"
After watching Charlotte demonstrate the animated plot of "Guillotine Valley" with a human skin book, Jodie Foster couldn't help but sigh,
"Your ability, as a director, is a bug!"
"What kind of bug is this!"
Charlotte scoffed,
"Isn't it the universal rule of Hollywood to use all the resources you can use?"
"That's right!"
Thinking about all the bad things she has experienced, Judy also has to agree with Charlotte's words. But
"Will this book be used by others?"
Miss Actress is still a little happy to see the hunt.
"What do you say?"
Charlotte rolled her eyes.
“...... Alright!"
As an Oscar-winning actress, Jodie Foster has been on the set since she was a child, and of course she understands how convenient this leather book can bring to film directors.
She glanced at it with some regret, and at the same time made it clear that she wanted to win over Charlotte
Because this book insures Charlotte's directing ability.
In Judy's view, the ability of the human skin book, although it cannot give the director more creativity, can definitely greatly reduce the risk of the rhythm getting out of control.
In other words, although it cannot raise the upper limit of the director's ability, it greatly raises the lower limit of the director's ability and reduces the probability of the film's failure.
This is especially important for commercial films.
"Now it seems that investing in the movies you directed has a higher and higher chance of success!"
Judy laughed and said her conclusion.
"You have faith in me!"
Charlotte shrugged,
"In that case, can you give me the final editing rights?"
"This ......"
The actress smiled awkwardly,
"If it's a low-budget film invested by my own company, I can give you the editing rights, but now this project ......"
"Too much cost?"
"There's that factor. ”
Jodie Foster nodded,
"Especially, according to your draft script, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money in terms of special effects!"
"I actually have another way to do this"
Charlotte was about to talk about her ghost party studio that could produce special effects, but the actress waved her hand,
"Actually, as long as you have money, it's easy to talk about special effects, and the key problem now is that Paramount has a similar script in his hands. ”
"Paramount!?"
Regarding this matter, Charlotte really doesn't know about the original world of "Guillotine Valley", he mainly focuses on the movie itself, and doesn't know much about these behind-the-scenes stories.
"Just because we have a similar script in our hands doesn't mean they might sue us for plagiarism later?"
Charlotte asked directly.
"It's a possibility. ”
Jodie Foster nodded,
"However, I want to take advantage of the opportunity more than the risk of the future"
"Pull the Paramount on board!?"
Charlotte immediately understood Judy's intentions.
This is indeed a good way, not only to perfectly solve the troubles that may be caused by similar scripts, but also to take the opportunity to obtain Paramount's money and resources. It's just that
"Paramount won't be so easy to take the bait, will he?"
"It's just as troublesome if you take the bait!"
Jodie Foster sighed,
"If Paramount is allowed to enter the game, if you are not careful, not to mention you, the director, and even me, the initiator of the project, may be squeezed out by them. ”
"Is this a dance with wolves?"
Charlotte made an analogy,
"That is, the timing and method of Laparmont's arrival on the ship need to be carefully considered, right?"
"Yes. ”
Miss Actress smiled bitterly,
"But let me figure it out. Charlotte, you'd better prepare the movie normally!"
"Yes. ”
Charlotte nodded.
By now, Charlotte has seen that Jodie Foster intends to maintain a long-term relationship with him, which is why she will tell him so much at the beginning of the preparation of the project.
As for why
"Probably because the results of "Happy Death Day" are really amazing!"
Thinking about the films that seem to have a chance to hit the 100 million yuan mark at the North American box office, Charlotte can't help but feel a little proud.
"Then I'll go back and prepare first!"
He put away the human skin book and the draft script, and was about to say goodbye, when he was suddenly stopped by Jodie Foster.
"Can you go and have a look at my bedroom?"
If it was other women who said this, Charlotte would have thought about it more.
Think of the tendency of the speaker to bend no more
"Is there anything you want me to see?"
He asked directly.
"That mirror ......"
As soon as the other party mentioned it, Charlotte immediately reacted.
I asked him to meet here, and sure enough, it was for the exorcism!
On the issue of the mirror, nothing happened.
After all, the evil god has been destroyed, and Charlotte gave the mirror to Jodie Foster just as a psychological comfort.
It's fake, so what's wrong?
But before he left, the actress asked another question related to the movie,
"Why did I see the demo animation you made out of that book, and the male protagonist in it looks a bit like Johnny Depp?"
Because I watched "Guillotine Valley", the actor is him!
Charlotte smiled bitterly in her heart, but she couldn't say this reason,
"Because I promised Depp before that I would help him and his ex-girlfriend match again. ”
"You mean"
Jodie Foster was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became excited,
"The male protagonist Johnny Depp and the female protagonist Winona Ryder? ”
As a businessman, Judy knows how advantageous Depp plus Winona's combination is in publicity.
After all, the relationship between the two has been exposed to the spotlight before, and now the two are working together again after breaking up, which will definitely attract a lot of attention.
What's more, according to Charlotte's script, some eccentric male protagonists are indeed very in line with Depp's style.
As for the heroine, portraying a classical beauty is Winona's forte......
"However, I'm afraid Winona won't be willing to take on this role!"
As a friend, Judy really wanted Winona to take on the role, and she felt that through this movie, the couple could continue to lead.
However, she also knows that Winona's personality is a bit neurotic. Since she broke up with Depp for some inexplicable reasons, it is difficult to say whether she is willing to cooperate with the other party now.
"Let's try it first!"
Charlotte didn't have much to do about this problem, after all, in his original world, the heroine of "Guillotine Valley" was not Winona Ryder.
He will say this now, on the one hand, because he really thinks the other party is very suitable, and on the other hand, because of the promise he gave Depp at the beginning.
Although the latter may have thought it was his joke, Charlotte herself was serious
After all, he had found out before that there was something wrong with Depp and Winona.
"I don't know what's going on now?"
Charlotte muttered in her heart, always feeling that the development of things in the future may not be so simple.
