Chapter 037: Hi, Judy
"Hello, Judy!"
As soon as Jodie Foster got into the nanny car, Anna, a life assistant, handed her a cup of black tea.
"Are we going to Bians Valley today?"
"Yes, it's not too far from Los Angeles, where the Fatal Bend crew is filming on location. ”
Anna had obviously done her homework ahead of time, and she continued to think about Judy very fluently,
"Your production company has invested in this film, and when their producer, Mr. Westwood, came to visit the other day, you promised him that he would visit the class today and check the filming progress to decide whether or not to invest more. ”
"Additional investment......
Judy frowned unconsciously, which added a melancholy to the bridge of her perfectly curvaceous nose,
"I remember, this film seems to have been introduced to me by Martin Sr., what is the director's name Alan Mike Arrowy?"
- Contrary to Charlotte and the old gun's conjecture, Alan and Jodie Foster don't actually know each other, and he actually got the investment of Foster's "egg" production company through the help of big-name director Martin Scorsese.
In Scorsese's "Taxi Driver", Jodie Foster became famous for the first time, and there is actually a love affair between the two. However, in private, Judy doesn't like her former director very much - on the one hand, because Martin Sr. has focused on gangster violence movies and men's dramas for more than 20 years, which really makes Judy, a female movie star with some feminist tendencies, not very cold, and on the other hand, because of the later "Hinkley incident......
"Now the director of the crew of "Fatal Bend" is not Alan Mike Arrowy!"
Assistant Anna didn't know what was going on in Jodie Foster's mind, she just dutifully read the information she had gathered.
"Alan Mike Eloy disappeared for some reason, and now their director has been replaced by a guy named Charlotte Booth, who seems to be an artist from the previous crew. ”
"Is it in danger?"
On the one hand, Judy felt a trace of admiration for Charlotte who dared to take responsibility, but on the other hand, the businessman side of her heart coldly reduced the feasibility of additional investment by half-
"The change of coach is on the verge of a change, and the risk of failure of the film is much higher!"
Judy muttered to herself,
"And, Booth...... Is that Booth?"
"This ...... It's not very clear. ”
As Judy's life assistant, Anna naturally knows what she is taboo about.
However, the surname Booth is rare, and if it weren't for the temporary change, he could indeed be a descendant of the killer Booth. ”
- Booth the Killer, the gunman who assassinated Lincoln, the greatest president in American history. Although she is in Hollywood, which always likes to go against the White House, because she is an indirect victim of the "Hinckley Affair" that also assassinated the president, Judy does not like those killers who aim their guns at the president. Incidentally, her impression of Charlotte, the director of "Fatal Bend", whom she has not yet met, has also deteriorated a lot.
In this regard, her life assistant Anna can only say that she is helpless. She could only feel sympathy for Charlotte, whom she had never met, and at the same time secretly sighed - no matter how shrewd Judy was, she was a woman after all!
......
In this slightly eerie atmosphere, the nanny car slowly drove to the Bianls Valley, where the crew of "Fatal Bend" was located. When Judy got out of the car, she didn't see the tense shooting scene she expected, but instead saw a party in the mountains and woods - a long table in the center of the venue, filled with burgers and other delicious but cheap fast food, and the cast and crew each holding wine glasses, standing or sitting in twos and threes, very relaxed talking, or simply eating.
“...... Did we go to the wrong crew?"
"Well, I don't think so......"
Obviously, Anna, the assistant who was pondering while looking at the map, was not very sure.
"Hello, is it Jodie Foster?"
At this moment, a man who looked to be about thirty years old and had black hair walked over. He asked Judy directly, and then without waiting for an answer, he said to himself:
"I'm Charlotte Booth, the director of Fatal Bend, and Anthony told me you were coming today. ”
"Anthony, is that Mr. Anthony Westwood?"
"Yes. He's our producer. ”
Charlotte nodded in affirmation.
"And where is he, and what are you doing?"
For the current chaotic situation, Jodie Foster is obviously a little dissatisfied.
"Anthony was supposed to arrive before you. However, just now the new line company called and said that there was something wrong with his body, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come today. ”
Charlotte answered the first question about the Fa, and then continued,
"As for us, don't you see? We're having a finale party!!"
"It's done!?!? so fast"
This is obviously a bit unexpected by Judy, with her experience, the director was temporarily changed before the start, and it would be good if the filming progress could not be delayed, as for the early completion, how could it be?
Now, however, this impossible fact is in front of us. At this time, Charlotte spoke again:
"Anthony told me about your intentions, and I knew you wanted to see a sample film, but—"
He pointed around,
"The atmosphere is not right now. Why don't you join our party first, take a break, have a bite to eat, and then we'll talk?"
“...... All right. ”
Looking at the expectant eyes of the assistant Anna, Judy finally chose to agree.
- It's nice not to have to go on a diet!
Charlotte didn't expect today's filming to go so smoothly, he originally expected that it might be another day, but he didn't expect that today's actors' performances were like divine help, and every one passed. So, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Charlotte was stunned to find that all the planned shots had been filmed and were ready to be completed!
Although the drama staff had been preparing for the upcoming finale party in advance, it was obvious that they were not fully prepared, but after thinking about it, Charlotte simply decided to hold a finale party immediately - as long as there is food and wine, even if there is no table, you can have a picnic party!
After all, instead of procrastinating after work and doing some strange rituals, a good boss should do it by finishing work early so that employees can go home and rest.
...... So, when Jodie Foster got out of the nanny car, it was indeed just in time for the finale party of the crew of "Fatal Bend".
Charlotte spotted her at the beginning.
In fact, he had already received a notice from producer Westwood that although Westwood could not arrive today due to physical reasons, Jodie Foster's itinerary should not be affected.
What's more, he has also watched "The Silence of the Lambs", although the one who impressed him the most was "Dr. Hannibal" Anthony Hopkins, but the beautiful, weak but tenacious image of "Agent Clarice" also remained in his mind.
- So, even though Jodie Foster disguised himself at the beginning to avoid being captured by reporters, he still recognized the other person at a glance.
"Anyway, it's finally here!"
Looking at Jodie Foster, who was chatting with Charlize not far away, Charlotte took a deep breath.
