Chatty Hollywood

Until they came out of Malcolm Sanitarium, Old Gun and Addison Young still maintained their shocked expressions.

"Charlotte, wasn't I dreaming before?"

Lao Qiang twisted his thigh hard, and then asked with a grin on his face.

"You can say it's a dream, you can say it's not."

Charlotte's answer was somewhat ambiguous.

"The weird scenes you saw just now did indeed happen in a dream. In reality, they only happened in a split second."

"Is that why it looks like time has stopped, even the dripping water droplets haven't fallen to the ground for a long time?"

Addison Young interjected.

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"However, everything you heard in that dream is true."

"Really?"

Lao Qiang and Addison Yang looked at each other, but neither spoke.

——Indeed, it is already very fantastic for two people to daydream at the same time, let alone the same dream...

"Can you explain it to us in detail?"

The dubious Lao Qiang could only ask.

And Addison Young also nodded.

"sure!"

Charlotte looked like she knew everything.

"But we'd better go back to the studio and talk - there's a witness there!"

"witness!?"

"Alexis!"

*********

"So, Charlotte finally told you?"

After returning, before Lao Qiang and Addison Young could speak, Alexis, who had been staying in the studio to recruit for the special effects department, asked straight to the point.

"How did you tell?"

Charlotte was a little strange.

"You can tell just by looking at the expression!"

Alexis pointed with her hand at the old gun Addison Young's face that still had some surprise left in it,

"Besides, didn't you say before that it's time to find more partners who know the inside story?"

"Okay, you guessed it!"

Charlotte relaxed her shoulders,

"However, I just took them to see ghosts. It's up to you to tell me the details! You can be considered a witness along the way!"

"If you don't mind my twisting the truth."

"twist the truth!?"

Charlotte suddenly became interested,

"I'd like to hear it."

**********

Charlotte soon understood what Miss Valkyrie meant by distorting the facts——

She did start from the Christmas of 1993, the moment Charlotte became attached to Charlize and herself.

However, in her description, she was a lonely and helpless poor ghost, while Charlotte was a hateful devil who deceived her.

Although everyone knew from her half-smiling expression that her words were deliberately distorted, Lao Qiang couldn't help but joked,

"Drinking girls with drugs and tricking them into signing contracts, Charlotte, I thought you had gotten rid of your previous bad habits!"

"..."

Charlotte just shrugged.

This is true, although part of it is the fault of his predecessor Charlotte, but he is too lazy to explain anything.

What's more, what Lao Qiang said was actually just a joke.

On the other side, as a photographer, Addison Young is more concerned about another thing——

"Alexis, I remember that the female ghost in "Fatal Turn" seemed to look very similar to you. At the time, I thought it was Charlotte who specially handled special effects - now that I think about it, that was you, right?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Charlotte didn't object to her continuing, Alexis admitted generously,

"At that time, I had just been purified of resentment by Sally, and I was just an ordinary ghost."

"That's it. This way, the doubts in my mind will be solved."

Addison Yang nodded,

"Because I didn't understand special effects technology at the time, I was fooled by the idea of ​​visual residue. Now that I think about it, there's something to do with magic, right?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte confirmed what her photographer said,

"In fact, every movie we've made since 'The Turn' has had a spell element. And not just spells, but ghosts too!"

"Ghost!? Like that Francis Farmer today!?"

Seeing Charlotte nodding in recognition, Lao Qiang felt more and more that this world was unrealistic.

"It's like I lived with my ex-wife for several years, and then one day she suddenly told me that the child was not actually mine."

"...Do you still have such a story!?"

Seeing that the expressions of the three people next to him became cautious, Lao Qiang suddenly reacted——

"This is not my story! I am just giving an example!! Give an example, do you understand!!?"

"Okay, okay, we get it. This is not your story, it's just an example."

Charlotte and the three of them all had expressions of "As long as you're happy," but the slightly sympathetic look in their eyes still made Lao Qiang understand that these three guys were obviously thinking wrong.

"It's not like that!!!"

…

After a while of joking, Lao Qiang finally got rid of the risk of accidentally dyeing his head green, and the tense atmosphere among the few people became much calmer.

"Then let me continue!"

Seeing that Charlotte was too lazy to talk, Alexis took the initiative to tell the story.

Charlotte made no objection.

…

"So, in "Fatal Turn", we were actually filming in the shadow of a monster named Guihu, and that bastard Allen was killed by the ghost tiger?"

After listening to Alexis' story, Addison Yang was even more unbelievable.

Charlotte's reaction to this was to simply let Alexis spread her wings.

——Fortunately, it was past the off-duty time, and there was no one else in the studio except a few of them.

Seeing Miss Valkyrie's pair of angelic white wings, both Addison Yang and Lao Qian felt that their jaws might not be able to close at all.

——There are so many incredible things I saw on this day!

And Charlotte is still explaining the origin of these wings,

"This is the newly acquired ability after Alexis completed her "resurrection" after the premiere of "Sleepy Hollow" - she can now be said to be the Valkyrie in Norse mythology."

"... Even if you say she is an angel, I think it makes no difference."

With the evidence in front of them, the two of them had no choice but to believe it.

"And, you also took the opportunity to solve the monster named Nightmare that entangled Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder? And it was because of it that Winona Ryder was unconscious before?"

"Yes."

"You also took the opportunity to turn River Phoenix's ghost into the Headless Horseman? Can you let us meet him?"

Faced with Lao Qiang's request, Charlotte shook her head.

"I recently asked Ruifan to help me investigate some things, but he is actually not here now. When he comes back, I will introduce you to him!"

"That's okay too."

Until now, Lao Qiang and Addison Yang, who had been shocked to death by a series of unrealistic encounters, finally believed Charlotte's story. Lao Qiang subconsciously asked,

"Charlotte, what are you-"

"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?"

"No, not to that level."

Faced with Charlotte's somewhat philosophical teasing, Lao Qiang waved his hand.

"There is no need to ask who you are. Where did you learn these spells? You can talk about it later. What I want to know is, why did you choose to tell me and Addison this now? You are not letting us accompany you. Do ‘Ghostbusters’?”

Addison Yang on the side also nodded. Obviously, this was also a question in his mind.

Charlotte shook her head,

"Forget about Ghostbusters, I'm telling you this because I want to form a "Monsters, Inc."!"
