Chapter 078: Groundhog Day
"This kid is indeed mature!"
Looking at Charlotte talking eloquently in front of his eyes, the old gun suddenly felt a sense of relief.
He and Charlotte met more than three years ago. At that time, Lao Gun had just divorced his ex-wife, and he often borrowed wine to drown his sorrows.
Once, he was drunk in the alley behind the bar. It was still winter, dripping into ice, and if no one paid attention to him, he would definitely freeze into ice the next morning and lie down on the dissecting table of the forensic doctor at the police station.
Fortunately, Charlotte also drank too much at that time and vomited in the alley, so she found him.
Since then, the two have known each other.
At that time, Charlotte's personality was still quite frivolous, as opposed to the old school guns. I don't know if it's out of gratitude, or if it's really natural, the old gun actually gets along well with him.
Especially in the past six months or so, he has not only quit drinking, but also done things more seriously, and because they are in the same crew, the two have really become friends who share weal and worn.
Although during the shooting, Lao Gun was willing to support Charlotte, more out of the psychology of repaying the favor. But after a movie cooperation, he found that this guy seems to be really enlightened in movies. If that's the case, it's a good idea to keep working together.
As Lao Gun said before, he really doesn't have much ambition in terms of movies now. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to make more money, or that he doesn't want to make movies that he can be proud of when he retires.
So, when Charlotte came up with the idea of creating her own studio, the old gun did have such a sense of relief.
"Hey, old gun, what do you mean by that "son has finally turned back?"
Well, Charlotte seems to be seeing it.
"It's okay to follow you. ”
The old gun tugged at his beard a little embarrassed,
"However, your plan is based on the premise that your script will be successfully filmed and that both production companies will be interested in it. Do you have faith?"
"Didn't you read the first draft of the script too? Why, forgot?"
Charlotte was a little dissatisfied.
"Well...... Very good indeed!"
The old gun avoided his friend's gaze.
At that moment just now, the reason why Lao Gun didn't immediately remember his feelings about Charlotte's new script was because before he saw the script, something happened that made him a little embarrassed-
The time Charlotte went to see him was this Wednesday morning.
Maybe it's because he wrote the script all night, and when this guy went to him with red eyes, the genius was bright. As a result, all of a sudden, he blocked the old gun.
At the time, Annika was at the old gun's place.
Moreover, both of them woke up early that day and were preparing to have another "event......
Although the old gun opened the door in time after hearing the knock on the door, Charlotte was also from here after all. He just looked at the clothes scattered on the floor, and then glanced at the old gun and Anika's unkempt hair, and knew that he had ruined the good things for the two.
- Of course, he will be so easy to spot, and it may also be because the physiological reaction of the old gun has not been completely eliminated when he hurriedly opened the door......
In short, adultery, ahh
Especially this guy said with a wicked smile on his face at the time:
"Why don't you go ahead first? I can go find something to eat nearby. ”
- Then you don't come at all!!
The old gun, who was being disturbed in his head, wanted to grab this guy by the neck and roared so angrily.
After that, it's pretty simple.
The two had breakfast with Charlotte, during which the old gun read the first draft and outline of Charlotte's new play. He praised this innovative script and thought that if it could be made, it would be a good movie......
"Speaking of which, your new script is a reference to the infinite loop setting in "Groundhog Day", right?"
Recalling the feeling of watching the script at that time, the old gun confirmed with Charlotte again.
"yes!"
Charlotte nodded,
"I came up with this idea after watching the Groundhog Day tape with Sally on Sunday......"
That's true, but Charlotte omitted a lot of details—
By the time he and Charlize drove back to his apartment, they were exhausted from a night of ghost hunting, followed by heart-wrenching conversations and intense exercise like vents.
They had to take a hasty rest, which is why they didn't watch Groundhog Day until Sunday.
When watching the tape, Charlotte didn't think of any ideas for a new script at first. At that time, he was pondering how to deal with the huge vitality left behind after completely eliminating Wei Changhui.
First of all, he can't absorb the life force that doesn't belong to him. In fact, as long as it's not a demon or a monster, even if the life force is absorbed, it's useless.
After all, real life isn't a game, and you won't be able to take more damage just because your health bar grows. A knife cuts the throat, the damn still has to die, not a minute faster, not a second slower.
Secondly, he couldn't give this life force to others.
In fact, when he first got this life force, he considered transferring this power to Alexis.
The other party is essentially a ghost, but it can indeed absorb these life forces. Charlotte, in particular, promised her to help her live like a living person. And to meet this, it does require a lot of life - Charlotte has already told Charlize and Alexis before.
However, the problem is that Charlotte was able to obtain this vitality because he used the power of the big ghost to swallow Wei Changhui's remaining ghost tiger power in one gulp. But now that he wants to transfer this life force to Alexis, he can't let the other party swallow him in one go, right?
- He's still young, and he hasn't lived long enough.
In addition to this, although Charlotte can barely pass on that life force, Alexis will never be able to absorb it, but will quickly overflow - what is the difference between doing that and directly throwing away this precious life force?
- Although when the old ghost taught him, he also mentioned that there was a method of double cultivation that could effectively transmit life force. But that kind of magic is more than mysterious, and the old ghost himself can't do it, how can he teach him?
What's more, even if he knows that kind of spell, Alexis is a disembodied ghost!
How does he have to do it to be able to double cultivate with the other party? Could it be that he is facing the air......
For the sake of her own discipline, Charlotte thought it would be better not to think about this way again.
Charlize on the side didn't notice Charlotte's thoughts. Probably because she let go of the baggage in her heart, she was extremely relaxed when she watched the video, and she was completely immersed in the story of "Groundhog Day".
"Dead and alive over and over again, if it's not an infinite loop, how strong the vitality must be!"
Looking at the plot in the movie, the actor Phil is desperate that he can only live in an infinite loop on February 2, and tries to commit suicide over and over again, but will continue to live in the next cycle, Charlize can't help but sigh with emotion.
"Infinite Loop?Life Force!?"
The girl's words were like a bolt of lightning that swept through Charlotte's mind,
"I've figured out a way!!"
