Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 189: Bright eyes

Unlike the tree of death made by props in the previous version of "Dropped Head", this tree of death in Charlotte is really magical.

In fact, the reason why he insisted on shooting in the Hudson Canyon, apart from saving costs, was also because he really found something that he could use here.

Just like the relics of the Pacific Railway in the Vianes Valley before, Hudson Canyon is actually a place where sacrifices took place.

This is one of the ancient battlefields of the American Revolution.

You know, Washington Irving, the original author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", was born in 1783 when Britain was defeated and recognized the independence of the United States.

Living in that era, it was much easier for him to study the history of the War of Independence than it was for historians more than 200 years later.

Since he chose Hudson Gorge as the place where the legend of the Headless Horseman took place, it shows that there was indeed a war here.

The scale may not be large, but it is not difficult to leave the souls of hundreds of war dead.

Such a war, in ancient times, was itself an act of sacrifice.

In Norse mythology, the main **** Odin is the **** of war. According to their logic, every war is actually a sacrifice "to Odin".

Even though most Americans do not believe in Odin, the English they use contains a lot of elements from Northern Europe.

Like "Wednesday (ednesday, the original meaning is actually "oden`sday".

And "oden" is exactly the name of "odin" in Germanic.

The relationship between the two, like Jupiter and Zeus, is fundamentally mutual.

Therefore, during the War of Independence, the battle in the Hudson Gorge can be regarded as a sacrifice.

A sacrifice "to Odin" is also a sacrifice to the country "America".

After all, even if the mythological element is removed, things like the country will inevitably be born after countless people have sacrificed their blood and lives.

Now, in this land of sacrifice, there are still remaining magical powers depositing.

That's exactly what Charlotte needs.

He can use these magical powers to open the door of **** on a larger scale.

After all, if you want Alexis to live like a living person like Xiao Qian in the original story of "A Chinese Ghost Story", a demon tree that communicates life and death is indispensable.

And Charlotte's method of communicating life and death is to open the door of **** at the crossroads.

Before, he had used this method to send away countless ghosts created by ghosts and tigers;

Now, he intends to use this method again to "resurrect" Alexis.

One is for death and the other is for life.

For this reason, he searched the canyon for several days before the crew of "Guillotine Canyon" entered the Hudson Canyon, and finally found a suitable location.

This is the intersection of two small roads in the mountain forest. There is a mound in the middle of the intersection on which a thick locust tree grows.

Perfect!

The locust tree is the ghost in the wood, the most suitable tree for ghosts and monsters, and was born at the crossroads. Charlotte felt that the scene of the tree of death in the movie should be built here.

So, he first secretly buried the remains of Ruifan Phoenix in the roots of the locust tree, and buried the remains of Alexis not far from the locust tree.

Then, on the bark of the locust tree, he carved a magic circle that could open the gate of **** at any time.

Finally, he found the set and props department of the crew and began to build the "tree of death."

The locust tree itself is the center of the magic circle, so naturally it cannot be cut down.

Under Charlotte's suggestion, the set set simply took the locust tree as the center and support, and used resin, cement, plastic and other materials to construct a monster tree that was many times thicker than the locust tree itself and twisted and horrified.

It is now the "Tree of Death" that Charlotte leads Alexis and Revan Phoenix to watch.

"After my arrangement, this tree can already be said to have a little ability to communicate life and death. When "Dropped Head" is actually released, it can be said to be a demon tree that really communicates life and death in the movie."

Charlotte continued to explain to Alexis,

"At that time, the three conditions for your "resurrection" were truly fulfilled, that is to say"

"I need to be resurrected when your new movie premieres?"

Looking at the excited blond girl, Charlotte nodded.

"Basically it's like this! But just in case, Alexis, I still need you to play a guest role in "Guillotine Valley" so that you can borrow the most from the audience's inner strength when the movie is released. ."

"A guest role?"

Alexis is a little embarrassed,

"Sally is already the heroine of this movie. If I borrow her body, will the two characters look too similar?"

"this……"

Alexis' worries cannot be said to be unreasonable.

After all, she and Charlize appeared in Charlotte movies at the same time, in fact, they were all tricks.

In "Fatal Bend", as a female ghost, she was shot by Charlotte using a spell to affect the camera, and she only appeared in the second brush special effects;

In "Happy Death", the roles played by her and Charlize are nothing more than the different mental states of the same character.

Playing a normal role and appearing in the same movie as Charlize's role, she has never tried this kind of thing.

Fortunately, this is no longer difficult for Charlotte now

"With the disguise technique from Cthulhu, I can make you appear different from Charlize's appearance."

Charlotte is very confident.

After all, after using the new filter, the effect of Yirongshu can already be captured by the camera.

Before shooting, Charlize had been using slight disguise.

This is Charlotte's special adjustment to highlight the characteristics of the heroine Katrina as both a rich lady and a witch.

In fact, when shooting, the effect of this adjustment is very obvious

In the first scene where Katrina appeared, she was blindfolded, playing a witch game with a group of people in the living room.

According to the script, she should have accidentally caught Depp's Ikabukaran, and after learning that the other party was a stranger, she gently gave him a blessed kiss on the cheek.

When filming this scene, it has been smooth.

But when Charlize's Katrina unwrapped her blindfold, Depp, who played the actor Ichabo, was stunned.

In fact, not only Depp, other crew members on the set, and even photographer Edison Young, were all stunned at the same time.

In this case, ng is naturally unavoidable.

For this, Charlotte is both proud and annoyed

You know, although the girl is very beautiful, the crew members who are accustomed to her appearance are not so gloomy under normal circumstances, not to mention Depp, the prodigal son who once lived in the flowers.

The reason for this is actually related to the addition of Katrina's dress and character design, as well as the subtle changes in her temperament under the influence of Cthulhu Disguise.

In addition, the blindfold also played a role in fueling the flames.

The charm of Katrina's character is just like a spring. The blindfold is indeed pressed down, but when the blindfold is removed, the "spring" rebounds instantly...

This is what caught everyone off guard~lightnovelpub.net~ Of course, as a director, Charlotte can't easily let go of such a charming picture effect.

He took the entire crew and filmed five times in a row, ng for four times, and finally, after everyone gradually got used to it, he successfully captured the most beautiful moment when Katrina took off her blindfold...

"When the audience sees this scene on the big screen, they will definitely be as stunned as us!"

Charlotte satisfactorily spoke highly of the shots, but couldn't help feeling sour.

Fortunately, Charlize already knows him enough

That night, the girl wore a costume and let Charlotte "appreciate" Katrina's style for half a night before finally calming the flame in his heart.

The price is that the costume is over.

Fortunately, before, the crew prepared multiple sets of Katrina's costumes, which did not affect the subsequent shooting.
