Chapter 487: When the Monster Knocks on the Door
"I'm going back to Hollywood!"
After hearing the news of Erin Warnos's death, Charlize's first reaction was to immediately go back to the United States to find Patty Jenkins and set up their long-planned biopic.
However, Charlotte stopped her.
"Sally, have you forgotten something?"
"I know. β
Charlize kissed Charlotte slightly apologetically,
"I promised to spend a little more time with you, butβ"
- Because the two of them were very busy in the past few years, they have been getting together less and leaving more.
It's rare that Charlize has a longer break this time, and Charlotte's work is not as busy as before. The two originally planned to be together for a while.
- That's why during the filming of "The Mummy" in Morocco, Charlize will always follow Charlotte. Even now back in London, the two are not separated......
However, now that the opportunity that has been waiting for two or three years is in front of him, Charlize still can't help it.
Fortunately, Charlotte didn't want to stop her-
"Sally, have you forgotten that Alexis can fly!"
Charlotte shrugged her shoulders and pointed out a fact that Charlize had forgotten,
"No matter how fast you catch a plane, it's not as fast as she, as a Valkyrie, who crosses the Atlantic directly. β
β...... Well, you're right!"
Charlize smiled bitterly,
"But, if I don't rush back, then the project of the movie-"
"Alexis can handle that, too. β
Charlotte grabbed Charlize's hand and rubbed it lightly to soothe the girl's somewhat anxious mood,
"After all, a lot of the previous preparations were done by the Ghost Party Studio in cooperation with you and Patty Jenkins - Alexis, as my representative, can also communicate with all parties. Now, the more important thing is the preparation plan of the film!"
"You mean!?"
Charlize realized the meaning of Charlotte's words,
"Who's the director!?"
"Of course, the choice of director is a very important part, but the choice of producers, screenwriters, supporting actresses and so on is also very important. β
Charlotte didn't say anything about the heroine.
- After all, Charlize has been staring at this project for so long, and the choice of the heroine naturally has to be her.
Although from Charlotte's psychology, he is not too willing to let his girlfriend play the role of Erin Warnos.
There is no way, who let him play this role, it is impossible with Charlize's original good looks. It's bound to be ugly and fattening!
- But who likes to make their girlfriend ugly?
So, Charlotte's psychology is actually very contradictory.
However, considering that playing the role of Erin Warnos is likely to help completely remove Charlize's psychological barrier, Charlotte still uses her experience to guide her girlfriend -
"First of all, Sally, since you're going to play the role of Erin Warnos, you need to have the power of a producer to keep you central. β
"That's right. β
Charlize did not object.
- Having been in Hollywood for several years, she naturally knows that the producer is actually the most powerful person in Hollywood movies.
"Of course, I'll also help you with the production work. β
Charlotte added,
"And Alexis, as a messenger to help communicate, can also do part of the production work - as for the screenwriter, you should want to use Patty Jenkins directly, right?"
"Yes. β
Charlize nodded,
"Piety has been following this project for so long, and arguably the person who knows the story of Erin Warnos best, and she is indeed the best choice for the screenwriter!"
"That's fine. But what about the director?"
"Director!?"
was glanced at by Charlize, Charlotte quickly shook her head,
"Sally, you've always been my muse. In my movies, you are always beautiful. And this movie ......"
"It doesn't need my beauty!"
Charlize understood what Charlotte meant.
She thinks there is some truth to Charlotte's words.
But on the other hand, the girl also knew that the reasons for Charlotte's refusal must be more than these-
"Manβ"
Charlize shook his head in his heart, but a sudden thought suddenly sprung up -
"Charlotte, what do you think I've made this film a feminist one?"
"Feminist overtones!?"
Charlotte frowned.
He is naturally aware of the feminist movement, which has become more and more surging since entering the 21st century.
After all, this wind is blowing not only in the United States, but also on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
Charlotte doesn't really have a view on this kind of thing.
Because he knows very well that the so-called equal rights, whether women's rights or minority rights, are ultimately caused by the dissatisfaction of some groups with the current social cake sharing mechanism.
It should be said that many times, this dissatisfaction is correct.
It's true that this society is unfair to a lot of people.
But the problem is that the effect of the affirmative action movement will also be used by many "smart people".
There is no way, they like to enjoy rights and benefits, but they are unwilling to fulfill their obligations and responsibilities, which is a common problem for most people-
When enjoying benefits, ask for "equal rights" - let the other party give up more part;
When fulfilling obligations, it is also required to "equal rights" - let the other party bear more responsibility;
- So, the good scriptures were read crookedly by the crooked-mouthed monk.
Of course, Charlotte was not a social activist or a politician.
With a casual turn in his mind, he immediately turned his attention to the direction of how to use the future affirmative action to its advantage.
After all, the times are irreversible, and Charlotte is not a saint.
He can still see the benefits of adding feminist colors to movies proposed by Charlize.
Charlotte nodded,
"Sally, you're a good idea. However, you deliberately put forward the concept of feminist color, does it mean that you want to find a female director!?"
"That's right!"
Charlize kissed Charlotte lightly,
"I knew you could go with me!"
"Do you have the right person?"
Charlotte asked.
"What do you think of having Patty do the same thing!?"
"Patty Jenkins!?"
Faced with Charlize's answer, Charlotte's brow furrowed again.
He wasn't very opposed to Ty Jenkins' candidacy.
After all, Erin Warnos's biographical film, the dominance is in the hands of Charlize and his own help, and the director is just a live shooting director, and he doesn't need too strong a candidate.
What makes Charlotte depressed is that Charlize seems to be very optimistic about Patty Jenkins -
"Sally, you recommend Patty Jenkins so much, aren't you-"
"You're thinking too much!"
Realizing the man's careful eyes, Charlize couldn't help but roll his eyes,
"There are a few people in Hollywood who say I'm frigky, but not those who say I'm lace β I would recommend Patty because we've been working together for a long time, and this movie is like our child, so I think she's the best fit for the director. β
β......β
Charlotte looked at Charlize speechlessly,
"Sally, are you really sure that you won't misunderstand me by saying that?"
β...... It seems to be true. β
Thinking of the so-called "child" in his own words, Charlize also realized that his interpretation was counterproductive.
She couldn't help but stick out her tongue at Charlotte as if she was coquettish,
"And how do you think I'm going to prove myself to you?"
"Well...... this"
Charlotte smiled evilly.
He muttered a few words in Charlize's ear, and then pointed to the car they had been driving when they came to see the house.
The girl's face flushed.
"Why do I feel like I've fallen into your trap?"
Charlotte just shrugged her shoulders.
