Chapter 045: May Storm

Looks like the signing status has changed?

Well, I'd love to break out, but considering my speed and savings, I'll save it for a later time when there are a lot of manuscripts

The text begins********

"What?

The moment she heard the words of producer Westwood, Charlotte almost thought he was crazy.

"It's mid-April, and Memorial Day is the last Monday of May β€” which means we only have a month to do with post-editing? Not counting the time you have to contact the theater and publicity?"

"Sounds like time is tightβ€”"

Westwood tried to convince Charlotte, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by an old gun on the side.

"No, you're not pressed for time. The doctor is very short of time when he operates on a patient who has been hit by a car, and you don't have time for this special code! You want to finish the post-production and editing in just one month, are you crazy, old Tony!?"

"Maybe!"

Westwood didn't deny the old gun's accusations, in fact, he himself didn't think it was very reliable, butβ€”

"The news about Allen is good for us right now, and I'm trying to take advantage of it, but the news can't stay hot for long, so-"

"So you want to get the movie out while the news is still hot, right?"

Charlotte spoke the latter words for Mr. Producer, and the other party nodded dryly.

"This time requirement is really unlikely. To be honest, I think it's going to be difficult before the Independence Day holiday. ”

"But if that's the case, we could really miss out on the opportunity. ”

Westwood didn't think the media would be hot for more than three months. After all, this is Hollywood that likes the new and hates the old, and Allen's case is not a serial killer case, and there will be follow-up developments. Fortunately, at this time, Charlotte gave her own plan -

We'll try to speed up post-production as much as possible, and editing should be faster if you can let me do it, reducing communication costs. ”

"Yes. ”

To this, Westwood agreed quite simply. He knew it was Charlotte taking the opportunity to ask him for the final editing rights, but he didn't care.

At this time, in his opinion, as long as the movie can catch the popularity of Allen's case and be released in time, it doesn't matter whether the quality of the film is better or worse. Just for the case, many good deeds will go into the theater to contribute to the box office.

What's more, he has also seen the sample film shot by Charlotte, and in his opinion, this is not "Alien", and it will not make much difference if it is edited by different people.

"However, even so, we can at most advance the completion of the film to the beginning of June, not to mention, we have to contact the theater chain to schedule after that......"

The assistant director Lao Gun still seemed a little worried, but Mr. Producer didn't care much about this.

"You don't have to worry about the theater chain, I've already contacted Fox for the distribution of the film - as soon as Allen's news came out, they also realized that it was an opportunity to make a quick buck - and they will take care of the rest for us. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but urge,

"In short, the sooner you get the movie done, the better chance we have of capitalizing on the heat of Allen's case. Even though Memorial Day is unlikely, it's better to be in time for Independence Day. ”

"Okay, don't worry. ”

Charlotte looked disappreciative,

"And maybe Eliza Kunis's body will be found in a few days, and in that case, maybe the heat of this case will last for a few months!"

- Do you think serial killers are so common?

Westwood was about to retort like this, but suddenly realized something, and he asked in a trembling voice,

"You, are you telling the truth?"

"What do you say?"

Charlotte smiled sadly at him, revealing two rows of blade-like teeth,

"Of course it'sβ€”it's fake! I'm not a murderer, how could I know about such a thing!"

"Yes, yes. ”

Mr. Producer unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Speaking of which, Sally called me two days ago to tell me that an FBI agent was looking for her to investigate Alan, and that you refused the other party's request to contact me - Tony, you don't really think this matter has anything to do with me, do you?"

"How, how so?"

Anthony Westwood had more cold sweat on his forehead.

However, this incident does have something to do with Charlotte - although he didn't kill anyone, he reached an agreement with the actual killer, Wei Changhui, who turned into a mandrill ghost tiger, and the other party would release the corpse of a person he had killed a long time ago to help Charlotte hype.

Therefore, Charlotte is not worried at all about whether the heat of the case can continue until the release of "Fatal Bend".

- This is controllable.

So, for the next month or so, Charlotte was at ease in post-production and editing of the film, but the entire Los Angeles media was boiling over.

First Alan Mike Arrowy, then Eliza Kunis, then two other bodies, and almost every other week, the Bians Valley area finds the body of a person who had been reported missing.

"This is the modus operandi of a typical serial killer, and it is extremely arrogant, and hopefully the LA Police and FBI will do their part and not let us down......"

The in-depth report of the Los Angeles Post directly defined the case for the police, and by the way, set up a FLAG for the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI.

"We know that the part of the iceberg that is hidden under the water is much larger. So, how much more is behind this series of cases that we don't know yet? I have to express concern about the ability of the Los Angeles Police and the FBI to keep people safe......"

"Christian Scientology Monitor" directly called up the template of "how is this country, I am thinking" - don't think that this is only available in China, anyway, the media is only responsible for speaking, and if you don't do things, you won't be wrong.

Other newspapers are even more straightforward, reporting first-hand news, copying those who are not, and simply making up their own fabrications if they are not, and media practitioners have joined forces to create a new "black dahlia" incident.

After all, reporters covering the social sector haven't had such a carnival for a long time, and for entertainment reporters, the mere fact that Allen, the core character, is his own family is enough for them to hold on.

As a result, Allen became a celebrity who, like Van Gogh, became famous after his death, and his hobby of going to the field with the heroine on location also became widely known under the quiet rhythm of Westwood.

"What a guy who makes people despise!"

- Harvey Weinstein, the boss of Miramax Corporation, is rumored to say this about Allen.

As for whether the other party will be inspired by this, what new poses and gameplay will be unlocked, it is not something that outsiders can know......

In short, thanks to the media, not only the Los Angeles area and the West Coast, but the whole United States knows that another super serial killer has been born.

This may be a pillar of shame for the FBI – the LAPD has wisely used the lack of technology as an excuse to throw the pot off its head – but for the American people who love to die, it's nothing short of overwhelming tourism propaganda!

Throughout May, the flow of people to the Bians Valley not only did not decrease, but increased by 40%, making Wei Changhui, who had to feed on the vitality of the living from time to time, a little confused.

"People are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death. ”

When he started a rebellion, he couldn't help but think of this old saying.

And the producer Mr. Westwood is confused and happy, thanks to the continuous fermentation of the news, the popularity has not diminished, and "Fatal Bend", which is basically tied to this case, has also become widely known, which makes his follow-up work very easy.

Although it is impossible for "Fatal Bend" to get a non-R-rated rating as a plasma film, he took the opportunity to win nearly 2,000 screens - the managers of the theater chain obviously have the same idea as him, and are ready to make the first money by taking advantage of the popularity first.

As for the latter situation, who cares? The big deal is to reduce the number of screens, everyone does it every day, isn't that the kind of thing!

Under all these disturbances, time passed leisurely, Memorial Day passed, and the second Friday of June arrivedβ€”

"Fatal Bend" is about to be released.
