Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 362: Virgin Suicide

“I could say that God is taking care of the lost sheep, but that would be disingenuous.”

Gabriel looked at Constantine with a half-smile, and the teasing words made Constantine very angry.

But because he was seriously ill, he had to ask for help.

"Recently I have discovered that demons are acting unusually. Please help me extend my life."

Constantine tried to bargain with Gabriel,

“I can help God win this battle!”

But Gabriel smiled,

"You still want to rely on this trick to get to heaven?"

The angel's smile was more mocking than pity.

This made Constantine even more angry,

"How many devils have I beaten back to hell? This should be enough for me to go to heaven, right!?"

However, Gabriel smiled and shook his head.

“You need to sacrifice yourself and trust God!”

"I know all this -"

Constantine, who had little time, roared, but the angel remained unmoved.

"Knowing it and doing it are two different things!"

Gabriel pointed out very directly that Constantine seemed to have done a lot with his abilities, but the purpose was all for himself.

This made Constantine very helpless, and he reflected half-truthfully,

"Maybe it's because I don't go to church to pray too often and I put five less dollars in the offering box..."

However, his reflection was quickly interrupted by Gabriel——

"John!"

The angel whispered Constantine's name softly, and even had a gentle and charming smile on his face.

But her words were not gentle at all.

"You will die young because you have been smoking 30 cigarettes a day since you were 15 years old. You will go to hell because you choose to live this life-"

"you are hopeless!"

——At this moment, Gabriel is worthy of the name of the angel who bids death.

***********

"However, this is really ironic!"

After watching the performances of Keanu Reeves and Alexis, Jodie Foster couldn't help but sigh,

"He has obviously done a lot of things worthy of going to heaven, but because of his personality, he is never recognized - the character of Constantine is indeed quite interesting."

"That's why everyone says he is a dark hero!"

Charlotte smiled and said,

"In his actions, the beauty and badness of human nature always exist at the same time, so compared to superheroes such as Superman, he is more like a real person!"

"indeed."

Judy nodded,

"But speaking of "real people," that lady—"

She pointed at Alexis in the distance and whispered in Charlotte's ear,

"Isn't it?"

"Hey, Judy, how did you see that?"

Charlotte was a little surprised.

He was not surprised that Jodie Foster saw Alexis' inhuman identity, but he was surprised that the other party was willing to talk to him about ghosts.

——You know, as one of the few people in Hollywood who really knows the existence of ghosts, the actress has never talked about ghosts with Charlotte since the "Painted Skin" incident.

What's going on today?

Judy was embarrassed to say that now that her fear had passed, a woman's natural curiosity began to take over.

The actress just wrinkled her nose,

"I don't know what kind of ghost that girl Alexis is, but when she acts, her inhuman feeling is almost off the charts, okay?"

At this point, Judy shook her head,

"If I didn't know about the existence of ghosts, I might still think that her acting skills are extraordinary, but now that I know about the existence of ghosts-"

"——Your first reaction is that it is simply a ghost!"

Charlotte sighed;

"Your guess is correct. Alexis can indeed be said to be a ghost - although to be more precise, she should be called a Valkyrie."

"Valkyrie!?"

Judy, who received a master's degree in literature from Yale University, naturally knows what a Valkyrie is.

"According to the logic of Nordic mythology, this is the "Angel of Death"!"

The movie queen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry,

"So, is this considered a true performance?"

Charlotte shrugged, but did not answer directly.

"Judy, it's your part next, don't lose to your juniors in terms of acting!"

--This guy! !

The movie queen nodded sadly.

**********

The next scene shot was indeed a scene related to Judy——

This scene is actually the same scene as the conversation between the angel Gabriel and Constantine that was filmed just now.

In fact, according to the plot, this is a chance encounter between Angela and Constantine.

Of course, the two have not really known each other yet.

As a Catholic, Angela came to the church to find the priest, hoping that he would arrange a Catholic funeral for her dead sister Isabel.

The priest refused.

"Angela, you know suicide is a sin."

According to Catholic teachings, people who commit suicide cannot go to heaven.

Even though Angela begged, the priest who adhered to the doctrine still had no choice but to help.

This made Angela very painful. At the same time, she did not believe that her sister had committed suicide, and now her suspicion became even more serious...

"CUT! Passed!"

Charlotte nodded.

Unlike Keanu Reeves, whose scenes are NG from time to time, Jodie Foster's acting skills are still very good as a double Oscar winner.

Most of her scenes can be done in one go.

This reassured Charlotte a lot.

"Next, we should film the scene where Angela went to find Constantine after checking the video of her sister jumping to commit suicide because of the words "Constantine" her sister said before she died!"

Charlotte said to the assistant director Lao Qiang on the side.

Lao Qiang nodded,

"The set over there is ready!"

The filming of "Hell Detective" adopted a scene-by-scene shooting mode.

This kind of shooting method will completely reverse the order of the shooting, which is not conducive to the actors' emotional development, but it is very beneficial to saving shooting time and reducing the cost of venue rental.

Charlotte has mastered this technique after shooting several previous films.

He can even use the switch between the two scenes to further speed up the shooting——

After all, while one scene is being shot, another scene can be set up at the same time under the guidance of the assistant director Lao Qiang.

To a certain extent, it is equivalent to shooting on two lines.

In this case, even though Charlotte did not divide the crew into several parts to shoot separately like "The Lord of the Rings" and other epic movies, the shooting speed was still a lot faster.

But even so, before the filming of "Hell Detective" was completed, the 1997 Oscar nomination list was released.

"Congratulations, Charlotte!"

Jodie Foster, who was also on the set, first congratulated Charlotte,

"With eight Oscar nominations, it seems that "The Sixth Sense" will gain something at this Oscar!"

"Hopefully!"

Charlotte shrugged, and she did have some expectations in her heart.

Who made the crew of "The Sixth Sense" receive so many nominations this time, and they were all heavyweights?

Best Picture Nomination;

Best Actor Nomination - Bruce Willis;

Best Supporting Actor Nomination - Sam Fehr;

Best Supporting Actress Nomination - Toni Collette;

Best Director Nominated – Charlotte Booth;
