Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 184 The mystery of tomb robbery

Winona never woke up.

Since the girl's car accident, Depp has given up all his work and devoted himself to taking care of her.

But the girl still didn't wake up.

During this period, Depp also received another bad news——

"Ruifan's tomb has been robbed!"

When Keanu Reeves told him the news, Depp thought he was joking.

After all, although River Phoenix, his mutual friend with Keanu, could be said to be a big star before his death, there were no valuable burial objects in his tomb after his death.

——This is already the end of the 20th century.

——Even some big families with long heritages feel that burying precious treasures underground is a stupid thing.

In this case, what value does Ruifan's tomb have if it was stolen?

However, the serious look in Keanu Reeves' eyes made Depp realize that his words were not a joke——

"Ruifan's tomb was really robbed!?"

"yes!"

Keanu sighed,

"The coffin was opened and all his remains were missing!"

"Which perverted collector did this!?"

Depp's words were not just a curse. In fact, he really felt that this was a possibility.

There is no way, there are really many perverts in this world who like to collect strange things. From Cromwell's skull to Napoleon's ***, there are people who collect them.

Then, it is not surprising that someone would take action against Ruifan, who died young.

The issue is--

"Did the police catch the tomb robber?"

"No."

Keanu shook his head,

"They simply surveyed the scene and evacuated! I think 80% of this will become an unsolved case!"

...It should be said that Keanu Reeves is very talented as a prophet or a crow's mouth.

Until the crew of "Sleepy Hollow" notified Depp to meet them on location in the Hudson Canyon, River Phoenix's remains were still missing.

"Will Noni wake up after I finish this movie?"

After arriving on the set of "Sleepy Hollow", Depp found an opportunity where no one else was around and directly asked Charlotte the question he was most concerned about.

"..."

In this regard, Charlotte was actually very speechless.

——Why are you saying this as if I’m blackmailing you with Winona?

Finally, he knew that Depp was an infatuated man, so he didn't care.

"Johnny, I remember saying before that in order for Winona to wake up, we need to make Sleepy Hollow and get it released."

Charlotte repeated what she had said before,

"In fact, Winona won't wake up until this movie comes out and is well-received."

"Why?"

"this……"

Charlotte thought about it for a while, and simply didn't explain the relevant principles of the spell to Depp - the other party wouldn't understand it anyway.

"After all, this is the last movie Winona took before her accident. Just treat it as a wish that must be fulfilled!"

"……All right."

Seeing that Charlotte didn't want to elaborate, Depp stopped asking questions and left Charlotte's trailer silently.

"What's Depp doing here?"

After a while, Jodie Foster walked in.

"What else can be done?"

Charlotte shrugged irritably.

"Ask about Winona!"

"Winona..."

The actress, who has experienced magic, knows how Charlotte persuaded Depp. In fact, she was also a little worried.

"She has been in a coma for so long. According to you, she was actually being chased by ghosts in her dreams - can she withstand being frightened for such a long time?"

"In sleep, it is difficult to tell whether time is eternity or a moment."

Charlotte sighed;

"Winona has a hard time feeling the passage of time in her dreams, and because of this, she can't realize she's dreaming.

And when she really wakes up—"

"Most of the memories in dreams will disappear. At most, she will remember that she had a long and scary dream, but she will not remember the content of the dream."

——If I can successfully capture Nightmare from her dream.

Charlotte didn't say the last embarrassing words, and Judy wisely didn't ask.

She changed the topic directly,

"Charlotte, can you tell me how the previous image was rendered?"

Driven by curiosity, the actress' tone turned out to be somewhat coquettish.

Unfortunately, Charlotte, who knew Judy's lesbian attributes, was completely unmoved.

"Didn't I tell you before? This is the trade secret of our Spectre studio!"

"Trade secrets!"

Judy wrinkled her nose, but didn't say anything in the end.

After seeing the footage Charlotte brought, two producers, Judy and Andrew Walker, made two important decisions after discussion -

First, the filming location was officially set to be in the Hudson Canyon.

After all, compared to artificially setting up all the scenery, natural locations can still save a lot of costs.

If this kind of outdoor scene can be used after post-rendering, then naturally no one will want to bother with a giant studio.

Second, a series of special effects requirements for "Sleepy Hollow" were outsourced to Spectre Studio in Charlotte instead of Industrial Light and Magic as previously planned.

This is because they saw the technical strength of Spectre Studio through that video.

At the same time, it was also because the price charged by George Lucas’s Industrial Light and Magic was too high.

However, Judy always wondered whether Charlotte used any special means in that video——

After all, she knew Charlotte could do magic.

However, just like this time, Charlotte never admitted it.

"Forget it, as long as we can make a good movie!"

Judy also knew that this was purely due to her own curiosity.

"I'm leaving the crew tomorrow to prepare for another movie project. The next movie depends on you, Charlotte!"

"Another project?"

Charlotte was a little curious,

"Is it the same project as "Sleepy Hollow"? Are you still the producer?"

The movie queen nodded.

——This woman is so amazing!

Charlotte sighed in her heart.

Although a producer, unlike a director, does not need to devote all his energy to a project. As long as there is sufficient strength, dual-line or even multi-line operations are not impossible.

But that has to be done by a big, experienced producer!

For example, Jerry Bruckheimer, in his heyday as a great producer, could release several movies produced by him in a year, and they were all large-scale productions.

In comparison, the current Jodie Foster is just a newcomer in the field of producers. In this way, she can open both arms, which is really...

"Judy, what's the name of your new project?"

""Enemies"! I will be the director myself!"

The actress was very confident in her words,

"This time, I specially invited last year's best actresses Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr. to star. Charlotte, should we compete to see whose movie is finished first?"

"Forget it!"

Charlotte smiled and shook her head,

"My movie is completely different in nature from yours, there is no comparison."

"You're so boring!"

Faced with Jodie Foster's complaints, Charlotte shrugged indifferently...

*********

The next day, Jodie Foster left the set, and filming of "Sleepy Hollow" began!

PS1: "Tomb Raider", please note, not "Tomb Raider". This is a German adventure movie released in 2010, with comedy elements. PS2: "The Enemy" is a movie directed and produced by Jodie Foster. It was released in 1995 and starred Holly Hunter and Downey Jr., yes, Uncle Iron.
