"This is actually a mistake when we were preparing the props. ”

The assistant director on one side, Lao Gun, scratched his head in embarrassment,

"We did book a green screen, but by accident, the supplier gave us a blue screen. ”

“......”

INTERVIEWER So, is it the props team or the supplier's fault?

Keanu Reeves was a little weak for a moment.

He thought there was some lofty reason for this......

"However, since the blue screen is not as convenient as the green screen, why do suppliers still produce blue screens?"

"Because it's useful!"

Charlotte spread her hands,

"At least, if you shoot "Spider-Man", and there is a green character like the Green Goblin, the green screen will not work!"

"At that time, the blue screen or the gray screen was the remaining choice. ”

"You make so much sense, I can't argue with that. 」

For a moment, such a thought flashed through Keanu Reeves's mind.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Charlotte continued,

"What's more, if there are no blue-eyed people in the actors, there is no problem with using blue screens. ”

"For example, in Northeast Asia, they don't have blue eyes because of their ethnicity, so they have no problem using blue screens. ”

"And we're actually the same now. ”

Charlotte pointed to Keanu Reeves' eyes.

Indeed, Keanu Reeves, who is of partial Asian descent, even has black hair, so naturally he will not have blue eyes.

"So, you're going to be wrong?"

Keanu asked.

"Not really. ”

Charlotte shook her head,

"You know, Sally's eyes are blue, and she has a scene that needs special effects. ”

"Then you're going to—"

"Find a supplier to return it!"

Charlotte looked right,

"However, before returning the goods, these missent blue screens are not impossible to waste - they don't cost anything anyway!"

“...... All right. ”

For Charlotte's idea of being simple and a bit of Grande, Keanu didn't know what to say.

He now kind of understands why Hollywood rumors that Charlotte Booth's movies can always save money over other directors with the same effect.

- Charlotte lives up to the name of "little money-saver".

In particular, this feeling is even more obvious when compared with another "little money-burning expert" James Cameron.

Although Keanu Reeves has never worked with this big-name director who has been a truck driver, he also knows how good he is at spending money.

At the very least, just because the props used during the filming of the banquet lacked a White Star logo on the tableware, they asked to re-order the props and reshoot them, and they did not hesitate to spend an extra $2 million for this kind of thing, which the average director can't do.

- That's right, that's the anecdote of James Cameron when he filmed "Titanic".

Although, now the film is not finished, the gossip that Cameron spent a lot of money has already come out.

"Is this for future publicity, or is Fox already expressing dissatisfaction with Cameron?"

After being in Hollywood for so long, Keanu Reeves naturally understands the truth that there is no wind and no waves.

In fact, in most cases, Hollywood crews still have a strong sense of confidentiality.

Unless there is a big contradiction within the crew, most of the gossip that will circulate is an "official leak" for propaganda needs.

Like Cameron, Keanu doesn't know whether it's the former or the latter.

Of course, it has nothing to do with him.

He just needs to shoot "Hell Detective" well now......

Charlize, by contrast, knows a lot more about Charlotte.

"What you just said is actually a lie, isn't it?"

After the curious baby Keanu Reeves honestly went back to filming, the girl asked Charlotte in a whisper.

"Sally, how did you see it again?"

Charlotte looked helpless.

He felt that as the "communication" between the two "deepened", it became more and more difficult for him to fool Charlize.

"The pillow person is the best and the hardest to deceive!"

Mr. Director sighed in his heart.

And Charlize, who saw through him, had a little smugness on his face,

"Because I know you very well!"

The girl's face was slightly red,

"And, as far as I can remember, the old gun is a very reliable man, and has never made such a low-level mistake. ”

“...... Truly. ”

Charlotte nodded, and then whispered to Charlize,

"Actually, the use of blue screens has something to do with ghosts. ”

"Don't you tell me that goblins like or hate blue?"

"Not really. ”

Charlotte explains,

"I just added some spell-casting paint to the blue curtain that was used as the background - it was just that it would be hard to guarantee pure green, so I used blue. ”

"I see!"

Charlize nodded.

Long before the filming of "Detective Hell" began, Charlotte told her that during the filming of this movie, she would figure out how to deal with the unknown ghost and the famous Count Dracula-

"Now it seems that this blue screen must also be one of the means he has prepared!"

Charlize didn't ask further about the reasoning. She was about to continue watching, but Charlotte asked her a question,

"Speaking of which, Sally, is the news I said about the Peerless Tribulation true?"

"Almost!"

Charlize nodded,

"But it's said that Michael Bay didn't particularly like me to play the role. ”

It turned out that shortly after taking over the supporting role in "Detective Hell", Charlize's agent Pat Kingsley won Charlize another chance to audition-

Michael Bay, a self-proclaimed artist who believes that "art is an explosion", is the Apocalypse.

Of course, at present, the name of "Explosive Bey" has not yet resounded around the world, and his love for explosions has not reached the point where everyone knows it.

Now, Michael Bay, the future leader of the "Transformers" series, is just a newcomer to commercial films who has only made two films.

Although both of his films were very good, they did not develop as quickly as Charlotte.

Even, his "Brave Death Island", because the release schedule is relatively close to "The Sixth Sense", the box office has been suppressed to a certain extent.

But even so, "Brave Island" is an excellent commercial movie after all, and the overall results are not bad.

As a result, Michael Bay has gradually entered the ranks of first-line directors.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before a big-name director like Charlotte can get the final editing rights, and Bang Bei.

However, Seon lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing.

You know, Michael Bey has two good bosses -

Don Simpson and Jerry Brockheimer.

Under the control of these two big-name producers, Michael Bay's unbridled love of explosions and his weakness of poor pacing control were most compensated.

This made him invincible before Pearl Harbor.

And the extensive connections of these two producers allow Michael Bay to raise enough funds every time to shoot the blockbuster he wants to shoot.

"Peerless Tribulation" is his next plan after "Brave Death Island".

"Based on what I've learned, there should be a lot of hope for the success of this film. ”

Charlotte analyzed to Charlize,

"Michael Bena's explosive style hasn't been disliked by the market, and Jerry Bruckheimer is better able to help him control the tempo—"

"Actually, if it weren't for Don Simpson, who is better at grasping the tastes of the North American market, who died unexpectedly this year due to taking too many drugs, I even think that this "Peerless Apocalypse" would be 100% successful. ”

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of Michael Bay. ”

Charlize was a little surprised,

"When you took me to see his 'Brave Island', you said that "art is an explosion", and I thought you were satirizing him?"

"It's not irony, just ridicule - at least the movie is good. ”

Seeing Charlize nodding in agreement, Charlotte smiled and said,

"My opinion is that Michael Bay's storytelling ability and pacing are a bit poor, but that's also relative. In the explosion scene, his talent and imagination are unquestionable. ”

"You're saying he can succeed just by shooting the explosion scenes?"

The girl who is still thinking relatively normally can't believe it.

Charlotte's response to this was to shrug her shoulders.

"People will be so successful in the future, and I'm helpless!!"

Charlotte complained in her heart.

He felt that Jobs's phrase "only paranoia can succeed" actually suited Michael Bay very well.

"Focus on exploding for twenty years!"

This sentence can be described as a true portrayal of Michael Bay's life.

Take this "Peerless Tribulation" as an example!

After blowing up all the bombing targets on the ground, Michael Bay's eyes were already on space.

Although it is embarrassing to train oil workers to explode asteroids in space, who makes the audience just love to watch it?

- We workers have power!

Even if the North American audience doesn't know this famous saying, this setting, which is actually not very reasonable, does greatly enhance the sense of substitution of the general audience.

Anyway, in Charlotte's original world, the box office results of "Peerless Tribulation" are very good.

Therefore, Charlotte is still very confident in Michael Bay, who still loves explosions and still wants to send oil workers to space in this world.

And he is also happy to see Charlize participate in this movie.

However, listening to the girl, it seems that her audition did not go so smoothly-

"Pat told me that the crew is actually still deciding, and that Liv Taylor and I have our own advantages, but Michael Bay may like each other more. ”

Charlize answered Charlotte's question,

"To be honest, I don't really care about this movie. ”

As she spoke, the girl glanced at Charlotte,

"You know, because of your previous films, my box office appeal is pretty good among actresses. Starring in a vase in a commercial film doesn't make me much more appealing. ”

"You're right. ”

Charlotte nodded.

Indeed, for actresses, starring in a vase in a blockbuster film, although it can increase influence, the improvement of the coffee position is indeed very limited.

Oscar talent is the highest means to improve the coffee position and force of Hollywood actresses.

This is also the reason why actresses attach more importance to the Oscars than male stars.

"At the same time, this is also the reason why people like Weinstein can be so unscrupulous in the face of many actresses. 」

Charlotte pondered in her heart, but asked,

"So, Sally, do you want to focus on the prize now?"

"There's no hurry. ”

Charlize glanced at Charlotte charmingly,

"Thanks to you, I became famous when I was 20 years old, which gave me more time to prepare for the Oscar attack. In this regard, I actually value the biography of Erin Warnos the most. ”

"That'......"

Charlotte scratched her head,

"Isn't there any news from Patty Jenkins?"

- Charlotte took action after discussing with Charlize about adapting the story of Erin Warnos, a serial female killer.

Of course, he didn't let Erin Warnos die outright.

That's too straightforward.

Moreover, Charlize is not ready either.

Charlotte just hired a fledgling screenwriter in the name of Ghost Party Studios to collect and sort out Erin Warnos's deeds in preparation for future script adaptations.

However, what Charlotte didn't expect was that the female screenwriter named Patty Jenkins somehow really became a friend of Erin Warnos, who is currently in prison.

She even visited Erin Warnos in prison from time to time, and collected a lot of first-hand information from the latter, and she was almost ready to write an autobiography for the first female serial killer in American history......

"Patty is still gathering information. ”

Charlize explained to Charlotte.

- The purpose of hiring Patty Jenkins to collect information is mainly because Charlize wants to play Erin Warnos on the big screen, so Charlotte directly asked her to be responsible to Charlize.

In this way, sometimes Charlize will know about this news earlier than Charlotte,

"Piety says that Warnos is getting more and more strange now, and he is almost going to become a philosopher!"

Charlize gave Charlotte a strange look,

"You can't really do anything to her, do you?"

"Sally, you can't find out what I did. ”

Charlotte pouted,

"A man is about to die, but his words are good. With Erin Warnos's crimes, she will definitely be sentenced to death. In her current state, she is probably mentally prepared to start looking back on her life!"

"You're right!"

Charlize didn't actually suspect Charlotte, she just made a joke with her boyfriend,

"However, Erin Warnos's current situation is indeed quite strange. Especially the prison where she is being held now is very eerie—"

"You've been!?"

Charlotte glared at her girlfriend,

"That kind of place, if a Hollywood actress goes, it will cause trouble. ”

"I can use the Evil God Transfiguration Technique!"

Charlize pretended to stick out his tongue mischievously, but seeing that Charlotte was still glaring at her angrily, he had to promise,

"I won't go again!"

"That's good!"

Charlotte nodded, then asked,

"What's the point of the weirdness you mean? Erin Warnos's felony prison is eerie for ordinary people, right?"

"To that extent, would I say it specifically?"

Charlize gave Charlotte a blank look,

"I say weird, the main thing is because in that prison, there is still Susan Atkins of the Manson family!"

"The Manson family?"

Charlotte was stunned,

"The Manson family who killed the pregnant wife of the famous director Roman Polanski!?"
