Chapter 113: A Thousand Ways to Die
Charlotte's question can be understood in many ways, if she meets an old driver, the other party may directly say "This is my privacy" after understanding.
However, Johnny Depp immediately understood what Charlotte really meant, because he had experienced such nightmares.
"When we were together, it was probably because of the stress of media harassment, and we often had nightmares, and a few times evenβ"
"Same nightmare, right?"
Charlotte snatched the white road very directly.
"That's right, that's right. β
Charlotte's accurate guess surprised Depp. Originally, he thought that he should not say too much about this, but suddenly felt that the director in front of him was very close to him.
"At the time, I joked with Winona that it was proof that we were destined to be together. β
β......β
- No, it's proof that you've been tricked!
- You two loving dogs, have you put all your IQ points on the skill of distributing dog food!?
- Even if you don't know magic, or even study psychology, as long as you have common sense, you should realize that it's not normal for two people to have the same nightmare, right!?
- Especially more than once!!
Charlotte, of course, didn't have any fate or misfortune with the future Captain Jack, after all, he wasn't a blacksmith.
The reason why he asked Depp this question was because during the filming, he observed many times that Depp had weak spells or magic reactions on his body.
This situation suggests that the future captain may have encountered something unrealistic.
Moreover, this reaction was also observed in Winona Ryder.
This suggests that this situation may be related to the experience of the two when they were together.
Therefore, Charlotte is ready to talk to Depp to see if he can find some signs that can prove his suspicions.
It's just that he didn't expect this sign to appear as soon as it came up - accompanied by dog food sprinkled on his face.
- I'm not a single dog, I still have Sally!
Charlotte had to comfort himself like this, although he was a little uneasy when he remembered the agreement with Charlize.
- Perhaps, rather than making a movie and dealing with ghosts, it would be the right thing to get rid of this strange girl sooner.
Of course, these are things that Depp can't say, even if they chat, the two have the feeling of seeing each other late.
Now, Charlotte has determined that Depp and Winona are also entangled in something strange.
Although Charlotte still has no clue about what it is, he feels that since the signs have appeared for so long and the two are still alive and well, there is no need to worry about it for a while.
What surprised him more was the frequency of his encounters with ghosts.
"If I didn't have the aura of death like the protagonists of those detective novels, then I can only say that there are really a lot of ghosts lurking in Hollywood. β
- Is it really because in peacetime, the entertainment industry is the most eye-catching, causing all kinds of dark psychology and desires of people to concentrate on Hollywood, the center of world entertainment?
Charlotte, who has always adhered to the idea of "ghosts are born from the heart", can only make this guess.
After talking to Depp, the subsequent filming went a lot smoother.
After all, Johnny Depp, who has always been known for his temper, has been dealt with, so what's so difficult about Winona Ryder, who is relatively easy to get along with?
In addition, the two of them don't have many scenes, especially Winona, there are only a few scenes about her, and without Depp making trouble, she quickly finished filming and left the group.
This made many people who knew the inside story, including Charlotte, very happy-
After all, these two people are troublesome in a crew, and if there is only one left, and a single slap does not make a sound, the trouble will not exist.
"Don't worry, I will make another movie in the future, please be the male lead, Winona be the heroine, and then create opportunities for you openly. β
For Depp, the only one who is depressed because of this, Charlotte is so comforted.
"Thank you!"
The future Captain Jack smiled wryly in response to the director's reassurance.
- How can it be so easy to prepare a movie, it is difficult enough to just get the investment, and you still want to decide the hero and heroine in one word?
Even if he has no problem, Winona may not necessarily agree, let alone the schedule?
Anyway, Depp didn't take Charlotte's words seriously at all.
In any case, the small troubles caused by the breakup men and women are in the past, and the filming of the crew is going on normally.
Next, it entered the "A Thousand Ways to Die" part of the heroine that many people like to see.
No way, "Happy Death Day" is an infinite loop movie, and the basic plot line is that the heroine Cui was killed by a mysterious person wearing a ghost doll mask on her birthday, and then reset back to the story of the starting point of this day.
Because the plot is constantly advancing with the reset, Cui, as the heroine, will inevitably be killed again and again.
- Moreover, the method of death cannot be repeated, otherwise the audience will not have a sense of freshness after watching it.
So, in the next week or so of shooting, the hapless Charlize began to experience various tricks to die.
"I think after filming this film, I can go through the death of many actors who have never acted in their lives. β
After being "hanged" again, Charlize hung in the air and dangled while complaining at Charlotte.
β......β
- Well, it's kind of weird to say that while you're being hung.
In fact, in order to shoot some close-up scenes, when filming the hanging scene, the actors are sometimes indeed hanged.
Of course, there must be some preparation for this. After all, no matter how good your acting skills are, there is only one neck.
In order to avoid breaking the cervical vertebrae by weight and inertia, the actors will wear a special lining in advance, and then connect directly to the sling through a hook hidden behind the back near the neck.
In this way, when the sling is released and the actor falls, the impact of gravitational acceleration will be dispersed to the entire upper body of the actor, which can perform the real hanging effect without goofing.
As for suffocation, the actor who actually focuses on the background will not encounter the possible suffocation situation when he actually hangs himself.
Of course, it is not completely disadvantageous to say that it is not completely without disadvantages - because of this set of protective structure, once the actor hangs up, without the help of the crew, he basically can't get off on his own.
This is the reason why Charlize is still hanging out there even though he has finished filming.
"Sally, this guy doesn't want to compete for the title of spokesperson for the dead, does she?"
Charlotte pondered in her heart, and couldn't help but think of the real "spokesman for the dead" Sean Bean.
The bento emperor who played Ned Stark, the wolf father in "Game of Thrones", was cut off early before winter arrived.
And that's not even his most famous role -
In The Lord of the Rings 1, he plays Boromir who is shot to death with a bow and arrow by an orc.
It is already a very famous thing to die as an important person in such a famous production in film history, not to mention, he is also the only character in the Fellowship of the Ring who did not survive to the end.
After all, even Gandalf, a gray-robed mage who was dragged off the cliff by the fire demon, could successfully spit out the bento, and by the way, he also completed the upgrade from the gray robe to the white robe, but he was the only one who not only wanted to die, but also died vigorously.
In fact, since he started in the film in 1983, Sean Bean has been known for portraying dead characters.
Someone even counted it in 2017, not counting the tricks, just playing an important role with a name and surname, he has died more than 20 times on the big screen.
So much so that in "The Martian", this easy to survive to the end, many fans were disappointed, feeling that they had the title of his spokesman for the dead.
Therefore, even if Charlize uses "Happy Death Day" to brush up on a wave of "death records", sooner or later he will be surpassed by Sean Bean, who "insisted on dying for thirty years".
Of course, as long as "Happy Death Day" is released, in the short term, Charlize will still be able to dominate the death list.
After all, "Happy Death Day" has too much advantage in brushing the "death record". With the exception of a few films such as Source Code, few can stand out from the crowd.
However, this is only an anecdote after all. Now, Charlotte's focus is on something else.
"Sally, has anything changed in Alexis now?"
Taking advantage of the effort to untie Charlize from the sling, Charlotte asked secretly.
