Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 417 The Flag of Our Fathers

"Speaking of which, is it okay if you don't go to the UK to host it now?"

Charlize asked Charlotte during a break in filming.

At this time, Lao Qiang had already started casting in the UK, but as a producer and director, Charlotte still stayed in North America, leading the newly formed crew to film "Silver Linings Playbook".

"I don't actually need to do the preliminary preparations. I can just control it remotely."

Charlotte explained and glanced at Charlize,

"On the other hand, since I promised you to direct and act by yourself, I can only come in person. Speaking of which, my acting skills are good, right?"

"...It's not bad!"

Charlize rolled her eyes.

*********

Having read the script for Silver Linings Playbook before, Charlize really liked it.

However, after learning that Charlotte was a character in the script based on themselves, the girl made a strange request——

She was willing to play Tiffany in the film, but accordingly, Charlotte had to play the male lead, Pat.

"Are you kidding me?"

Charlotte looked confused at that time.

"I have never been an actor before. I have never even had the experience of guest-starring humanoid movable props in my own movies like Hitchcock did. Are you sure I can be the leading actor?"

"I have no idea!"

Charlize shrugged.

"But according to you, this story, from a certain perspective, is the story of you and me in another time and space. Are you sure you want someone else to star with me?"

"..."

The girl's words suddenly made Charlotte confused.

"Sally, think about it! If this movie is made, it could have won an Oscar. But if I were to play the leading role, all the critics would think it was a toy movie. ”

"Then let them think so!"

Charlize smiled and said,

"Anyway, even if the filming doesn't go well, it won't have a big impact on our status in Hollywood. Besides, I have confidence in your acting skills!"

"Yeah?"

Since her girlfriend said so, Charlotte had no choice but to "reluctantly".

——Although from a certain perspective, he really wanted to try the feeling of acting.

*********

So now——

"The reason why you have such good acting skills is because you were a liar before, right?"

Seeing Charlotte's triumphant look, Charlize couldn't hold it back in the end.

"The way you used to deceive people and ghosts was not essentially a performance?"

"You're right to say that!"

Charlotte didn't care at all about her girlfriend's sarcasm;

"But no matter what, just be useful!"

With that said, the director stretched out his hand to his heroine, preparing to ask her to "dedicate herself to art."

——But he was slapped open by the girl.

"Don't forget our previous agreement!"

"……All right!"

If there was anything that made Charlotte unhappy during the filming of "Silver Linings Playbook", it was the agreement between him and Charlize——

During the filming period, they were temporarily unable to communicate at a negative distance, even in a dream!

Physical contact should also be controlled.

——This is actually to show the distant feeling between the male and female protagonists in the movie.

You know, when filming a movie, the chemical reaction between the male and female protagonists is a wonderful thing.

Of course, like Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable in "Gone with the Wind", they obviously hate each other in real life, but there are very few people who can make sparks fly in the movie.

But it is often difficult for couples in real life to play the role of lovers on the big screen.

Maybe it's because they've been together for too long and have become accustomed to it. If real-life couple actors play a couple, they often act either emotionless or too clingy.

And neither of these are what couples on the big screen need.

What is needed on the big screen, or what moviegoers like to see, is often the excitement at the moment of encounter.

This is exactly the kind of effect that couples in reality cannot perform well.

——After all, how many times have you explained it in simple terms, how can you simulate the thrill of the first moment?

Especially in an environment like Hollywood, even if it's a real couple, it's hard to say whether they were excited or not at first.

——Everyone usually starts communication with the body and goes from the kidneys to the heart.

Although the relationship between Charlotte and Charlize didn't develop like this at first, to be honest, the process of the two getting together was quite strange——

Whether it was the process of getting married with ghosts or the original agreement to "not be in bed", it did not help them find the heart-pounding feeling...

"When I first met you, fear produced more adrenaline than hormones."

Charlize readily admitted that she was scared at first.

Charlotte was helpless about this.

Being extremely bored, he simply proposed a very unreliable plan as a joke——

"Since real-life couples are not suitable for CP because they are too familiar with each other and lack sexual tension, then let's suspend "communication" for a while. Can we accumulate a certain amount of sparks?"

"...Maybe it can work!"

——I didn’t expect Charlize to actually believe it.

As a result, Charlotte, who was trapped in a cocoon, began a life of asceticism...

*********

"However, I didn't expect this trick to be so useful!"

Charlotte sighed.

The reality is even more bizarre than that. Charlotte also didn't expect that a method he came up with like nonsense would actually work.

——The characters he and Charlize played in the movie originally had a crush on each other, but for different reasons, they each suppressed or even deceived themselves.

This is in line with the current state of self-restraint between the two of them.

——Although the suppressed things are completely different.

But combined with the acting skills, it is surprisingly suitable.

"It's just that I really have to endure it until the filming is over."

Charlize found Charlotte's lament very interesting.

Of course, the girl actually endured it a little hard. However, she felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw the partially completed film.

——This can be said to be the most enjoyable role she has played since Cui in "Happy Death Day".

However, there is one thing that the girl is a little worried about——

"There won't be any ghosts or gods coming out to cause trouble during this filming, right?"

As far as she knows, Charlotte has made a total of 5 movies since her debut, excluding the current one and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that is still in preparation, and she will encounter ghosts in each one.

And it’s getting more and more powerful——

When he first met the ghost tiger, Charlize thought it was already a very powerful ghost. But compared to the evil god, dragon, headless horseman, Mephisto, and Dracula behind him, the ghost tiger can be said to be a bastard. …

It can be said that after getting used to this, Charlize has become accustomed to the setting that "Charlotte must encounter ghosts when making movies".

But nothing has happened during the filming of "Silver Linings Playbook" so far, which makes the girl a little uncomfortable.

"You think too much, Sally!"

In contrast, Charlotte doesn't have the consciousness of causing trouble every time.

"This time we are filming a romantic comedy movie. If we still encounter ghosts, then we are too unlucky, right?"

"..."

Although Charlotte's words sound reasonable, Charlize always feels that her boyfriend is standing...()
