Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 121: The Butterfly Effect

After   , the shooting of "Happy Death" went well, to the point where Charlotte felt abnormal.

   "Is that done?"

   At the kick-off party, Charlize looked blank and seemed a little reluctant.

  Charlotte understands her reaction a little bit--

   After experiencing the scene with Judy Foster, Charlize's performance has improved significantly. She seems to have entered a special state, a state that makes many actors afraid and addicted.

   "Sally, you won't be too deep into the play, can you not get out?"

   Charlotte was a little worried.

   "Don't worry, I won't."

   said, the girl rolled her eyes-exactly the same as the expression used by the heroine Tsui during filming.

  ——Hey, you are not convincing at all like this!

   Seeing Charlotte's uneasy expression, Charlize suddenly smiled. The smile this time is like a rose in full bloom.

   "Really, don't worry, I was joking."

"you……"

   Mr. Director smiled helplessly.

   "Are you showing me the progress of acting?"

   "I think so!"

   "But how can I be sure that your current appearance is not acting?"

"this……"

   This time it was Charlize's turn to get stuck.

"unless……"

   Charlotte whispered a few words in Charlize's ear, and the girl blushed.

  ************

   After the celebration party, "Happy Death" entered the post-production stage.

   This movie also doesn't have any difficult special effects, but because of the infinite looping story mode, it involves a lot of editing, which is by no means an easy task.

   Normally, this is another battlefield where directors and producers compete fiercely.

   Fortunately, the two main producers of the crew seldom speak this time.

  Mr. Westwood is because of the trust generated by cooperation in "Fatal Turn";

   And Judy Foster, besides relying on Charlotte for painting skin, is also because she is busy with the ending of "Blair the Witch".

   That’s right, after the near-fraud propaganda, "Blair the Witch" has achieved quite dazzling box office results.

   Although it is inevitable that the box office will plunge after the premiere, relative to the low cost, the profit ratio of this movie is beyond imagination.

   This makes Judy Foster, as the boss of the production and distribution company, must go all out to keep an eye on those theater chains in order to ensure that his profits will not be stolen by others.

   No way, who made her "egg" company a small workshop?

   Very simple things for the Seven Hollywood, but she must be careful here...

   However, this gave Charlotte a good opportunity.

  With no one's fingertips, he and Lao Qiang and others quickly completed the editing. Then, the internal preview of "Happy Death" began.

  **********

   The so-called internal trial screening is actually a small-scale trial screening in which some lucky viewers and critics are invited to participate after the basic production is completed.

   After the trial screening, the participants will give comments and scores. Based on these evaluations and scoring, the film party makes an expectation for the future of the film.

   The evaluation is good, of course everyone is very happy, everyone laughed and prepared to make money after the official release;

   If the evaluation is not good, then it will be troublesome. Not to mention the modification of the promotion plan after the expected decline, the director and post-production staff will have a headache just to make up and correct it.

   Of course, the evaluation of the internal screenings is not very accurate.

   Not to mention "Star Wars," which was seen by film critics across the United States at the time, just to mention the "Pirates of the Caribbean" that will only appear in the future. The evaluation received at the internal screenings is also very average.

   At that time, Disney’s president Michael Eisner almost sentenced the movie to death, but who would have thought that it would be a big sales of "Pirates" afterwards, and Captain Jack became famous all over the world...

   However, regardless of whether the evaluation is good or bad, the results are accurate or not, the results of the internal screenings are not allowed to be disclosed, which are bound by legal agreements.

   This is the first time Charlotte participated in an internal preview of her own film.

   When "Fatal Bend" was released, there was no time to hold an internal trial screening because of the heat of the "Vianles Valley Incident".

   Moreover, at the cost of that movie, Xinxian did not pay much attention to it at that time...

   And this time, because there are three companies including Xin Xian, Orion and Judy Foster's "eggs", if they want to cooperate with each other tacitly, they must first have an expectation of the movie.

   This makes the internal screenings become indispensable.

   "If the internal reviews are good, we hope it will be released during the Christmas period."

   Before the trial screening, Mr. Westwood said while chatting with Charlotte.

   "In other words, I might have two movies released this year?"

   Charlotte pondered.

   "Suddenly feel so tired."

"indeed."

   Mr. Westwood also sighed.

   "Ordinary directors, one movie a year is already very productive. Your situation is really rare, it's also a special case!"

   That's right!

   Charlotte nodded in her heart——

   "Fatal Bend" was simply ordered in danger, biting the bullet, and because of encountering the ghost tiger Wei Changhui, in order to catch the heat and cater to the time, it had to be released as soon as possible;

   And "Happy Death Day"?

   If it were not for the peculiar state of Charlize and Alexis, he would not have racked his brains to figure out such a movie.

"hope everything is fine!"

   After chatting with Mr. Westwood, Charlotte returned to her seat.

   He did not choose to build relationships with the well-known film critics who came to the audition now.

   On the one hand, everyone is really unfamiliar, and this relationship is not easy.

   On the other hand, it's also because of the nature of the work of film critics—all the things they say before watching the movie are not counted.

  Especially if he doesn't have any extra money.

   Now, he is more concerned about Charlize sitting next to him.

  ********

   Charlize is a little scared.

   There is no way. The last time I participated in the premiere of "Fatal Turn" with Charlotte, I ended up directly entering the world of the wall painting. The strange situation in it has been felt that Charlize is not right.

   Besides, according to Charlotte, the premiere of "Happy Death" has more extra tasks--

   To deal with Painted Skin and Cthulhu, let’s not talk about it. The original purpose of this film was to facilitate Charlotte to transmit the vitality from the ghost tiger to Alexis.

   There will be no problems, right?

   "Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything extra at this internal preview."

   Charlotte grabbed the girl’s hand and comforted.

   "There are not enough people in the internal audition, and the emotions generated are not enough to release the spell. I have to wait for the real premiere!"

  ——That is to say, you only need to watch the movie quietly this time?

   Charlize was relieved.

   "Speaking of which, Sally, have you been working well lately?"

   Charlotte asked again in a low voice.

  Because of being busy in the post-production of "Happy Death", Charlotte and Charlize have not had much exchange recently.

   Although they will “help” each other when there is a “need”, Charlotte doesn’t know very clearly about Charlize’s work situation~lightnovelpub.net~ I recently participated in several auditions. "

   Charlize thought for a moment,

   ""The Seven Deadly Sins" lost to Gwyneth Paltrow, "The Twelve Monkeys" was a success."

  ——"Seven Deadly Sins"?

  -"Twelve Monkeys"! ?

  ——Sally, your progress is very rapid!

  Charlotte can of course hear it. Charlize was talking about the heroine in these two auditions.

   Although the heroine is basically a soy sauce regardless of "The Seven Deadly Sins" or "The Twelve Monkeys," she is after all the heroine!

   A year ago, Charlize was still a little transparent who couldn't even act as a dragon! This improvement is indeed large enough.

   Especially, if you compare it to the original time and space, Charlize Theron, who is still playing soy sauce at this moment, can better appreciate the changes.

  ——This is probably the so-called butterfly effect!

   Charlotte sighed in his heart, but for a moment he forgot that he was the butterfly.

   At this time, he had to comfort Charlize.

   "You can't fight Gwyneth Paltrow in "The Seven Deadly Sins". It's too normal for her family to have a lot of relationships in this circle."

  -the relationship can be pulled into the Oscar queen, the relationship is not broad!

   Charlotte complained about the first Oscars in the 90s,

   "Also, the starring role of this film is Brad Pitt...Although it is a David Fincher movie, it doesn't matter if you don't act."

   "Hey, why didn't Pete play it?"

"this……"

   Charlotte stagnated.

   "It's mainly because this guy has the habit of being ambiguous with the actresses he works with, right?"

   Charlize smiled sweetly when he took the words from behind Charlotte.
