"Judy, you sold that villa to Charlotte Booth at a super low price, probably not just to show your gratitude for that incident, right?"

Anna asked, helping with Judy's personal belongings.

"Of course!"

Judy replied casually.

She was looking around the bedroom to see where the mirror Charlotte had given her would be appropriate.

For her, the stakes are high.

Now, they are in Jodie Foster's new home in Malibu Beach.

In fact, after the explosion of "The Silence of the Lambs", Judy had the idea of a new home. After all, although Beverly Hills is a rich gathering area, it is actually not very advantageous from the perspective of conservation.

There are too many celebrities and too many paparazzi gathered, and Judy can often feel the pressure from the spotlight.

In comparison, Malibu Beach is much better. The natural environment here is beautiful, more sparsely populated than Beverly Hills, and the land price is relatively cheap.

Judy could find a secluded place here and build herself a bigger house.

Space is the best tool for protection, isn't it?

In fact, before the series of things happened, Judy had already bought a new house in Malibu Beach, but it was still being renovated.

And now, the house has been renovated for a while and can be occupied. As soon as Judy sold her Beverly Hills house to Charlotte, she immediately moved here.

"The reason why I sold the house to Charlotte at a very low price was because I was able to maintain a long-term relationship with him. ”

After choosing a place to place the mirror, Judy continued,

"For us, his ability as an exorcist and as a director is very important. ”

"Is that so?"

Although Anna also knew that Judy was optimistic about Charlotte Booth's development, she didn't expect her to attach importance to this.

"His ability as an exorcist is indeed indispensable, after all, we don't know other strange people like it, but we shouldn't encounter so many strange things, right?"

"It's hard to say!"

Judy smiled wryly,

"There have always been a lot of strange rumors in Hollywood, and before this incident, I always thought it was just rumors, but now it's ......"

"Do you think there really are other goblins out there?"

Judy's speculation sent chills down Anna's body.

As a soft girl, just seeing that heart with her own eyes was enough for Anna to have nightmares for a while, if there were any other ghosts

"That's why we need Charlotte's exorcism!"

Anna's fear, in fact, Judy also has it, but compared to her life assistant, Miss Actress's nerves are much tougher.

"I don't know if it's useful to ask for help from someone with strange abilities when it's time to do it, so it's necessary to maintain a good relationship. ”

"That's true!"

Anna understood what Judy meant,

"On the other hand, through "Fatal Bend" and "Happy Death Day", it can also be seen that as a director, Charlotte Booth also has a lot of potential, right?"

"That's right!"

Judi Fosse nodded, and the actress was very confident in the field she was familiar with.

"Charlotte definitely has the ability to grow into a commercial director. Isn't it a natural choice to befriend this kind of great director when he is just starting out?"

"Judy, you don't think so"

"That's right!"

Judy's eyes gleamed with ambition,

"My "egg" company has just started, and it wouldn't be great if we could establish a long-term cooperative relationship with future commercial film directors at this time?"

“......”

Judy's vision is not without precedent in Hollywood.

While most of the most well-known directors have their own studios or companies, they will eventually have a producer and distributor that is most enjoyable to work with

It's like Spielberg and Universal;

Christopher Nolan & Warner;

Quentin Tarantino vs. Miramax;

and James Cameron & Fox;

Although it is now in 1994, except for the first pair, the middle two pairs have not yet completed the merger, and the last pair ......

Well, if Cameron wasn't that fond of skipping tickets and burning money, the people at Fox would love him to death.

Of course, on the other hand, in the face of Cameron, who burns countless money and has a bad habit of skipping tickets, Fox still can't help jumping in every time the other party digs a pit, and it can only be said that it is true love.

Jodie Foster has a similar idea right now.

"It's not so easy to meet a big director who is on the rise. And investing in the work of such a director means a huge profit in itself."

"But Judy, isn't the size of the egg too small?"

As an assistant, Anna couldn't help but interrupt her boss's imagination of the future or yy,

"If you can maintain long-term cooperative relations with those big directors, in Hollywood, you generally have to be medium-sized or more companies, right?"

“...... You're right!"

Judy also frowned,

"Still, you have to try it first!"

What if it happens!

Although Judy didn't say this, Anna already knew what she meant.

In fact, Jodie Foster's ability to value Charlotte's directing ability so much is also related to the current situation of "Happy Death Day".

has not been released for more than ten days, and this campus youth comedy under the banner of horror films has slashed nearly 30 million at the box office, not only recovering its costs, but also beginning to make a large profit.

In fact, excluding "Dumb and Agua" starring a comedy god like Jim Carrey who has a box office halo bonus during the Christmas schedule, "Happy Death Day" has almost swept the entire Christmas file.

What's especially terrifying is that this small-budget movie still has a lot of stamina.

At present, the daily box office curve of "Happy Death Day" is not seriously decayed. That means it could continue to slaughter other films in the coming weeks.

For other movies released at the same time, this is an out-and-out "horror" film.

What's more, the reputation of this movie has also maintained a good reputation.

Kenneth Turan and Richard Manson, who participated in the internal preview screening before, gave high praise, and a large number of other film critics also gave good reviews of "Happy Death Day".

And Bonnie Clyde, known as the "box office amplifier", directly began to "lick the screen"

"Hollywood blondes, your enemy is here!"

In the face control person's alternative film review, she praised Charlize Theron's beauty as unique, which aroused the interest of a large number of teenagers who only like to look at faces.

The box office of "Happy Death Day" continues to climb because of these reviews, and people are curious about the film's wonderful and ingenious narrative structure

In 1994, the story structure of the infinite repetition cycle was still very novel, and the foundation laid by "Groundhog Day" before it made it no longer difficult for the audience to understand.

Even in the evaluation of "Fatal Bend", Roger Albert, who was very harsh on Charlotte, gave a rare "two thumbs up" evaluation this time

“...... Mr. Booth's idea is very interesting, and what is even more rare is that in "Happy Death", his narrative and pacing skills as a director have improved greatly, which makes the whole story feel like an intricate and delicate handmade clock, which one can't help but be fascinated......"

"It's rare for Roger Albert to praise a young director so much!"

Thinking of the "Thumb Man's" past pickiness, Jodie Foster couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't this also the reason why you are optimistic about Charlotte Booth and sell the villa to him at a super low price?"

"yes!"

And I actually didn't lose anything!

Judy pondered in her heart.

Because of "Blair the Witch" introduced by Charlotte before, Judy's "egg" company actually made a lot of money.

According to the rules of the industry, as an introducer, Charlotte can actually share a part of the profits in the name of the producer. But because he was filming "Happy Death Day" at the time, the two sides didn't have time to talk about this part of the matter.

Although Miss Actress is shrewd as a businessman, she is also very humane.

She half-sold the villa and half-gave it to Charlotte, in part, to compensate for this part of the profit.

In fact, she had thought about selling the villa for free or a dollar to Charlotte at first, and she wasn't going to live there herself.

But after pondering, Judy dismissed this idea again.

It's not that I feel too much loss, but I feel that the intention is too red.

In contrast, it is much better to sell at an ultra-low price.

After all, the house does have the reputation of a murderous house, and it is not easy to sell.

As for the other things in it, although Judy didn't say it, she believes that Charlotte, as someone who has been in Hollywood for some years, should be able to understand.

"Now it's time to see if he'll come to me when he's planning to make his next movie!"

"Or maybe I'm going to make a movie and ask him to direct it!?"

Judy suddenly had such an idea.
