Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 24: Stunned

   Charlotte is also a loser.

   Before crossing, he was alive without doing anything; after crossing, he was still doing nothing.

   Before crossing, he was pursuing illusory spells; after crossing, the spells were no longer illusory, but he was still pursuing, but he could not devote all his body and mind. He didn't have the courage to be desperate in spells, he was still alive. At this point, he even felt that he was a bit inferior to his predecessor——

   The predecessor was a third-rate screenwriter and a second-rate artist. Apart from the first-rate method of drugging women in wine, there is nothing in his life. But even so, he still has one thing that Charlotte admires, and that is his love and devotion to movies. He can endure a low-quality life, he can endure the precariousness of every day, and he can endure giving up his dignity to cheat a woman's money as a white face, just for his movie dream!

   However, reality is not a novel. There is not always justice in the world, and there is not always a reward for giving. The pain and sweat of the predecessor did not bear fruit. After Charlotte crossed, he once sighed about it. However, when faced with an opportunity to direct a movie at this time, he suddenly realized that he was moved!

   Is this affected by the residual personality of the former?

   Charlotte doesn't think so. Not to mention how careful he used to absorb the memory of his predecessor with the help of "calling the soul", just the very normal feeling now is enough to make him believe that he has no personality split.

   What happened then?

   Charlotte felt that she was touched, just like she was in tears after watching a moving movie.

   It's like when he was young, he had read Paul Kochakin's story and was moved by it. Although he did not become steel in the end, he could only say that it was a piece of waste wood, but he could not deny the original touch, even if the touch seemed stupid when he grew up. And likewise, he couldn't deny that someone really became another piece of steel because of that touch.

  Some people will find all kinds of dangerous situations to die desperately, just to prove that they are still alive. In the same way, finding a suitable stage, blooming life, and burning yourself is also a way to prove that you are alive.

   "For the ex, and also for myself——"

   Charlotte raised his hand,

   "Or, I will try!"

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

   Westwood is desperate.

  The director of his crew has disappeared! Even with the heroine. And the reason is said to be to go to the field...

  Bitch! Sonofbitch! !

  The deputy director refused to take the guide tube because he lost his enterprising spirit after the divorce——

   Then why don't you lose your living heart! !

  The photographer refused to direct, because he couldn't stand the pressure, or because he felt he was cursed by James Cameron?

   This special code is also called a reason! ? Damn glass heart! Damn crow mouth! Damn Cameron! !

   As for the screenwriter! ?

   This **** crew doesn’t have a genuine scriptwriter. The script is directed by the director, so naturally he also serves as the scriptwriter! ! This bastard! ! !

   cursed wildly in his heart, but Westwood's face did not show any emotion. This is not only the reservation of a producer, but also his professionalism and city government. In fact, he also knew that Old Gun and Addison Young refused to take over the guide tube. Their reasons may be true, but they are by no means the only ones. There is another reason that neither of them said, but everyone actually knows--

Being in danger and taking over the guide tube shortly before the start of the movie means that not only must the entire script and shooting plan be straightened out in a very short time, but also due to the cost, it is difficult to make substantial adjustments to the direction of the predecessor, especially for them. A horror movie with a small cost.

   This kind of film, the probability of failure is too high!

   In a realistic place like Hollywood, new directors without a background have and will only have one chance. Once it fails, it is difficult to stand up. Even after experiencing the legend, James Cameron, who has grown from a truck driver to a great director, was able to turn over after "Piranha 2" and get the opportunity to direct "Terminator", and he also got the producer Gil Anne. Hurd's help-and this one later became his second wife.

   So, you see, if a newcomer with no background wants to stand up, in addition to his amazing talent, he also has the potential to be a little boy.

   The first two are obviously very self-aware, knowing that they are far from each other in terms of talent and face.

   Alas, my last movie!

   Westwood sighed silently in his heart, and was about to give up until--

   "Or, I will try!"

   When he heard this sentence, the producer’s heart beat, as if the gate of heaven was opening in front of his eyes——

   "Medicine, my medicine!"

   There have been several similar feelings that made Westwood nervous. He quickly touched his chest and found that the emergency medicine was still in his chest, and he was relieved.

   "It seems to be just excited..."

   After calming down, Westwood turned his gaze to the source of the sound-that was the artist of the crew!

  ——Yes, artists can also be directors! Didn’t that **** Cameron do the art design for "Civilization of the Century"?

   "Mr. Booth, no, Charlotte, are you sure?"

"certainly!"

  Charlotte nodded, but before he could go on, the old gun interrupted him suddenly:

   "Charlotte, do you know what you are talking about?"

   The old gun looked anxious, and while talking, he winked wildly at Charlotte.

   "Of course I know!"

  Charlotte waved at her old red beard friend.

"Of course I know how risky it is to take over the guide tube at this time. Even when Allen himself directed this film, the possibility of failure due to funding and crew strength is not small; now he is missing, even more. It's a mess that can't be messed up again! Isn't it okay for me to say that, Mr. Westwood?"

   The poor producer shrugged with a wry smile.

"However, only this kind of mess can make it possible for a person like me who is less experienced and can't be more junior to direct. This is an opportunity for me! Of course, considering the super high failure rate, this opportunity is also a pit, because It is very likely that after this movie, no investors would like to see me as a director anymore. But it doesn’t really matter anymore! Do you know, Old Gun? In fact, I’ve been thinking about a question in the past few months. Not suitable for the development of the film industry!?"

"what?"

"You should know that my goal in doing this is to be a director! Then again, **** it, except for those actors who want to be stars, how many people in the crew really don't want to be directors at all! The question is, how many In the coming years, I have become less and less aware of whether I should continue to work in this direction! I think this is also the common problem of many people who have been in this industry for some time but have never gotten the opportunity-ideal, he still Are you there?"

   said, he punched his chest hard,

   "Does this heart beat violently when facing ideals?"

  ——Yeah, is the initial shock still there?

   Many people present bowed their heads, but Charlotte continued:

"So, for me, this mess is an opportunity, not an opportunity for success, but an opportunity to see myself clearly-only a beating heart can drive me to make the impossible possible and make this The film was a success. On the other hand, if it fails this time, then I can also think that I will no longer be moved by this ideal. Of course, it may be that I have no talent, then I will leave the industry completely! "

"you……"

   Listening to Charlotte's ruined declaration, the old gun couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. After a long time, he sighed.

   "If you insist—"

   "So, Mr. Westwood, what's your decision?"

   Charlotte turned to the producer.

"What can i say?"

   Producer Westwood spread his hands,

"Not to mention your sighing determination, the reality is that if no one else is present, you are my only choice! Of course, I can also choose to stop the project directly, but the problem is-with Xia Lott, like you, I'm not reconciled to the special code!"

   Westwood suddenly got excited, he walked around the office,

"I have some problems with my body. Although I am young, this is probably my last movie! I have not made any impressive movies so far, and I am not a gold medal producer. I don’t even have a dog tag! I don’t have any extravagant expectations for this last movie, I just hope it can be released normally and do not lose money. For this seemingly low-level goal, I would rather make a raft for that **** Allen. Let him beat me to establish the authority in the crew-I believe some of you have already seen it-but that **** has lived up to my expectations! But even so, I still want to gamble again!"

   said, he walked up to Charlotte,

   "My director, do you have any plans for the current situation?"

   "Well..."

   Although the situation on the scene can be said to have turned sharply within a few minutes, Charlotte seems to have adapted a little. Although the words he just said are full of passion and ideals, they can be regarded as sentimental, but he is not the original Charlotte after all. Although the goal of figuring out whether he is suitable for the film industry is true, the words are true. Feelings, to a certain extent, rely on the ability of his "master of tricks". So, he didn't really have blood on his head, but instead thought of some ways to take advantage of the pause in his speech——

"First of all, I want to compress the plot and characters of the script, and remove some difficult scenes in the plot ~www.readwn.com~ in order to save shooting expenses and time; and in terms of characters, I don't think we need to do it again for the heroine. I had an audition, just choose one of the remaining three main supporting actresses. Anyway, as the heroine of a horror movie, good figure and good looks are more important than acting, and the looks of these three are not counted. Difference!"

   "But in this way, what about the original supporting actress role?"

   The question is the old gun. Seeing that Charlotte was determined to take up the mess in his eyes, he simply changed the role and sang the double reed together so that the rest of the crew could subtly accept the change in Charlotte's status.

   "Just cut it off!"

  Charlotte also understands that the old gun is cooperating with him, he is very simple and authentic,

   "The original four main female characters are not necessary, just cut them into three! The main changes are these—"

  Speaking of this, Charlotte paused, as if thinking of something,

"Gentlemen, I have heard people say that as a boss, when discussing careers with people, bad guys talk about feelings and ideals, good guys talk about money! You are all old fried dough sticks, you should understand what this means. I have been talking about ideals and being bad guys. , Then, now I will also be a good person-Mr. Westwood said before that as a reward for being an emergency director, I will get a box office share. Of course, this is based on the premise that the movie is profitable. Although it is not expected to be too much, but But I don’t plan to take this money. I plan to divide this part into incentives for everyone to increase the success rate of our film. Of course, I also said that if the film fails, I will not do it at all. So, As a director, I am actually in a situation where there is nothing to lose. Then, you know!"

   Charlotte blinked like a wolf sneering.
