Chapter 188 On top of my corpse (15 happy)

Unlike when filming "The Deadly Bend" and "Happy Death Day", Charlotte paid special attention to the shooting of the trailer this time.

To this end, he specially set up a camera on the set to record the film.

From later generations, he knew that although the shredded flower seemed irrelevant, it was actually an important element to increase DVD sales.

It is now 1995. Although DVD is not yet available for the market, it already has VD. What's more, there are more traditional video tapes.

Things like trailers are already useful.

Especially, Charlotte is still one of the main producers this time. If you can enjoy the box office share, you have to consider the issue of recovering costs.

As a medium-scale production, the cost budget of "The Deadhead Valley" is $60 million, which is slightly less than the production cost of the movie $65 million in the original world, but it is similar to the difference.

To recover this considerable production cost, Charlotte needs to think of some solutions.

Of course, for directors, the most important thing to consider is the box office of the movie.

Even if with the development of the times, the income of DVDs and other peripherals will gradually exceed the box office, the box office is always the most direct criterion for measuring the success of a movie.

However, this does not mean that Charlotte cannot consider other means at the same time.

Moreover, even if you stay for souvenirs, it is very good.

Charlotte heard that Kubrick, the great director who has filmed "2001 Space Odyssey", especially likes to collect filming filming works by actors he has worked with.

Of course, considering Kubrick's cold and satirical film style, the trailers he likes may be said to be the dark history of the actors, but

Who cares about those directors?

It was Charlotte himself, didn’t he also leave the trailer shot of Depp being frightened by the beetles before?

Of course, unlike Kubrick, who simply regards special trailers as collections, the main purpose of Charlotte's shooting trailers is to sell them for money.

All shooting behaviors that do not aim to make money are hooligans!

In Hollywood, this is a secret industry standard.

Charlotte does not intend to violate industry standards.

In fact, even though he gradually fell in love with the director's job and made some achievements, Charlotte still had no particularly great artistic pursuits.

He just wants to shoot more good stories that can make more people like.

That's all.

Because he likes many people discussing his works and the feeling of his works.

Even though these works are largely from his original world.

But in the end, after being born in this world, he still can experience a certain sense of accomplishment through it.

"Even if I'm just a porter of film and television works..."

Charlotte thought silently in his heart.

Of course, this is just his own idea. If the original director of the works he "moves" saw the results of his "moves", he would probably be stunned.

Not to mention the cast of "The Deadly Bend", he changed the movie from rhythm to scene from beginning to end, and introduced a very strange second brush effect;

"Happy Death Day" has become less, but the cast has also changed a lot. Especially the serial killer, he has changed it directly to a woman, and has a very interesting background story, which is handed over to Judy Foster...

In comparison, "The Deadhead Valley" is the movie he follows the original work the most.

Except for the heroine Christina Ricci who was less than old and replaced by him with Charlize, the other actors are basically the Tim Burton version of the lineup.

There is basically no change in the script.

He basically just used his abilities and spells to make some fine adjustments.

However, it is absolutely impossible to say that he did not add any of his own personal goods in this movie.

Especially the scenes and shots related to spells.

Don't forget that unlike other directors who can only rely on imagination, he is professional in this regard.

Take the headless knight's portal between the yin and yang worlds, the tree of death as an example

In his original world, the tree was weird, but it was more of a special effect rendering of the movie. It was not even a tree, and it could only be said to be a prop.

In Charlotte's version of "Blade of the Head", the Tree of Death is a real demon tree

"Alexis, your remains are buried beside this tree by me!"

Pointing at the twisted and terrifying demon tree, Charlotte explained to the blonde girl beside him,

"It took me a lot of effort to find out the whereabouts of your remains from the Los Angeles Police Department, and then"

"And then you became a tomb robber?"

The blonde girl interrupted Charlotte directly, then she stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully.

"This is what Charlize said!"

"Sally..."

Charlotte shook his head and said, is it that difficult to save some face for your boyfriend whom you have just confirmed not long ago?

However, since he said this, Charlotte did not intend to hide it.

"Actually, I've been a tomb robber more than once, right, Ruifan?"

When he said this, he was facing Johnny Depp's face.

"You're right!"

Depp, no, it was Revan Phoenix, who occupied Depp's body, nodded with a wry smile.

**********

Today is Sunday and the crew is off.

Charlotte specially brought two ghosts, Alexis and Revan, to the "Tree of Death" that had been processed by the prop group, and had something to explain to them.

Of course, with Alexis, Charlize, who is almost one with her, is naturally indispensable.

And Revan Phoenix, with the help of Charlotte, temporarily borrowed Johnny Depp's body.

Although I haven't used it for a while, under the solid physical memory, Charlotte's method of drugging is still so proficient...

"I did steal Ruifan's body!"

In front of two ghosts and his girlfriend, Charlotte directly admitted that if the police knew about it, he would have to go in for at least a few years.

"Now, I'm buried under the roots of the tree of death!"

"...That is to say, two corpses were buried under this tree that was obviously props?"

Alexis's face turned pale.

Her reaction made Charlotte laugh.

"Hey, Alexis, you are a ghost! Why are you afraid of corpses? Especially, there is one in it, it's your own corpse!"

"Even if you say that..."

Alexis shook his head with his shoulders shook his head.

"Well, it's a bit weird! But for some reason, I was just scared of this tree, just like you did when you exorcized ghosts at the intersection."

"Did you do that last time you exorcist?"

Charlotte touched his chin,

"It seems that Alexis, you really want to "live"! So, you are so sensitive to Hell Gate!"

"Hell Gate!?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte pointed to the twisted tree of death,

"I have indeed set up a hell gate under this tree!"
