Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 45: May Storm

It seems that the contract status has changed?

Well, although I really want to explode, but considering my speed and saving manuscripts, let’s save it for the time when there are more manuscripts

**********Text begins********

"What? Memorial Day release?"

When hearing what producer Westwood said, Charlotte almost thought he was crazy.

“It’s already mid-April, and Memorial Day is the last Monday in May—meaning we only have one month in post-production and editing? Not counting your contacts with theaters and publicity. time?"

"Sounds like a tight time—"

Westwood tried to persuade Charlotte, but he was interrupted by the old gun at the side as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No, it's not that you're short on time. Doctors are short on time when they operate on patients who were hit by a car. You're so special that you don't have time! It only takes one month to complete the post-production and editing. Are you crazy? , Old Tony!?"

"Maybe!"

Westwood did not deny the old gun's accusation. In fact, he himself felt that it was not reliable, but——

"The news about Allen is very beneficial to us now, and I'm trying to take advantage of it, but the popularity of the news cannot last too long, so—"

"So you want to get the movie out while the news is still hot, right?"

Charlotte said the following words for Mr. Producer, and the other party nodded bluntly.

"It's a really unlikely timeline. To be honest, I think it's more difficult before the Independence Day holiday."

"But if that's the case, we may really miss the opportunity."

Westwood doesn't think this matter can last more than three months in the media. After all, this is Hollywood that loves the new and hates the old, and what happened to Allen is not a serial killer case, and there will be follow-up developments. Fortunately, at this time Charlotte gave her own plan——

"Let's do this! We will try our best to speed up the post-production, and if you can let me do the editing, it will reduce the cost of communication, so it should be faster."

"Can."

For this, Westwood agreed quite simply. He knew it was Charlotte taking the opportunity to ask him for the final cut, but he didn't care.

In his opinion at this time, as long as the movie can catch up with the popularity of Allen's case and be released in time, it doesn't matter whether the quality of the movie is better or worse. Just for the case, many good people will go to the theater to contribute to the box office.

What's more, he has also seen the sample film shot by Charlotte and the others. In his opinion, this is not "Alien". Editing by different people will not make much difference.

"However, even so, we can at most advance the film's completion time to the beginning of June, not to mention, after that, we will have to contact the theaters for scheduling..."

The assistant director Lao Qiang still seemed a little worried, but the producer didn't care much about it.

"Don't worry about the theaters, I've already contacted Fox to distribute the film - as soon as Allen's news came out, they also realized that this is an opportunity to make quick money - they will take care of the rest for us things."

Having said that, he couldn't help urging again,

"Anyway, the sooner you guys get the movie right, the better chance we'll be able to take advantage of the Allen case. Even if Memorial Day is really unlikely, it's better to get it before Independence Day."

"Okay, you can rest assured."

Charlotte looked disapproving,

"Besides, maybe Eliza Kunis' body will be found in a few days. In that case, maybe the heat of this case will last for several months!"

——Do you think serial killers are so common?

Westwood was about to retort like this,

But suddenly realized something, he asked in a trembling voice,

"You, are you telling the truth?"

"What do you say?"

Charlotte smiled darkly at him, revealing two rows of blade-like teeth,

"Of course - it's fake! I'm not a murderer, how could I know such a thing!"

"Yeah, that's right."

Mr. Producer unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Speaking of which, Sally called me two days ago and told me that an FBI agent came to her to investigate Alan's affairs, and that you refused the other party's request to let you contact me——Tony, you won't really Do you think this matter has something to do with me?"

"Why, how could it be?"

There was more cold sweat on Anthony Westwood's forehead.

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

However, this matter does have something to do with Charlotte—although he didn't kill anyone, he reached an agreement with the actual murderer, Wei Changhui who turned into a mandrill ghost tiger, and the other party would release an early murderer every once in a while. The corpses of the people he killed helped Charlotte hype.

Therefore, Charlotte is not worried at all about whether the heat of the case can last until the release of "Fatal Turn".

- This is manageable.

So, for the next month or so, Charlotte worked on the post-production and editing of the movie with peace of mind, but the entire Los Angeles media was boiling over.

First Alan McElroy, then Eliza Kunis, and then two others. Almost every other week, a previously reported missing person is found in the Vians Valley area. corpse.

"This is a typical serial killer's method, and it is extremely arrogant. I hope the Los Angeles police and FBI can do their duty and don't let us down..."

The in-depth report of the "Los Angeles Post" directly determined the nature of the case for the police, and by the way, it was established by the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI.

"We know that the underwater part of the iceberg is bigger. So, behind this series of cases, how much we don't know yet? I have to express concern about the ability of the Los Angeles Police and the FBI to keep people safe... "

The "Christian Scientology Monitor" directly called out the template of "What's wrong with this country, I'm thinking about it"-don't think that this is only available in China, anyway, the media is only responsible for talking, and if you don't do things, you can't make mistakes. Occasionally find an opportunity to come up These two sentences are simply the only way to improve your style.

And other newspapers are even more straightforward, reporting news with first-hand news, some unscrupulous excerpts, and unscrupulous ones simply making up their own. The media practitioners joined forces to create a new "Black Dahlia" "The posture of the incident.

After all, the reporters covering the social sector haven't had such a carnival for a long time, and for the entertainment reporters, the fact that Alan, the core figure, is their own family is enough for them to hold on to it.

As a result, Allen became a famous celebrity after his death, just like Van Gogh. His hobby of playing field battles with the heroine on location also became widely known under the quiet rhythm of Westwood.

"What a guy who makes people despise (xian) despise (mu)!"

——It is rumored that Harvey Weinstein, the boss of Miramax, commented on Allen in this way.

As for whether the other party will be inspired by this, what new postures and gameplays will be unlocked, it is beyond the knowledge of outsiders...

In short, thanks to the media, not only the Los Angeles area and the West Coast, but the entire United States know that another super serial killer has been born.

This may be a shame for the FBI-the Los Angeles Police Department has long wisely used the lack of technical power as an excuse to throw the blame away from itself-but for the American people who like to die, this is simply a shame. It's an overwhelming tourism promotion!

Throughout the month of May, the flow of people going to Vianers Valley not only did not decrease, but increased by 40%, which made Wei Changhui, who had to feed on the vitality of living people from time to time, a little confused.

"People don't fear death, how can they be afraid of death."

He who started as a rebel couldn't help but think of this old saying.

The producer, Mr. Westwood, is confused and happy. Thanks to the continuous fermentation of the news and the unabated popularity, "Fatal Turning", which is basically bound to this case, has also become widely known, which made him follow up. work becomes very easy.

Although as a plasma film, it is impossible for "Fatal Turn" to get a non-R rating, but he took the opportunity to win nearly 2,000 yuan of screening screens-the managers of the theaters obviously fought with him. It's the same idea, I'm going to take advantage of the popularity to make the first money first.

As for what happens next, who cares? The big deal is to reduce the number of screening screens. Isn’t that what everyone does every day?

Amid all the commotion, time passed by, Memorial Day passed, and the second Friday in June came——

"Fatal Turns" is about to be released.
