Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 276 Extras

Bruce Willis was also a little stunned by the director's guidance.

Although it was simply too much, he didn't think this guidance was wrong.

Because this scene is between his character Dr. Malcolm and Olivia's character his wife.

According to the plot, the wife played by Olivia could not see her husband Malcolm.

From this perspective, Charlotte’s guidance is indeed to the point.

However, with such a straightforward suggestion, can Olivia Williams, a woman with good looks but only five acting skills, really do it?

Bruce Willis was skeptical.

However, Charlotte once again demonstrated her miraculous ability to control the camera——

He ordered the people in the props team to adjust the angle of the table, and also moved the angle of the camera, so that Bruce Willis did not sit in front of Olivia, but in the camera, they formed a situation where they were facing each other. The scene of sitting.

"That way we can start shooting again!"

Seeing Mr. Director's magical operation, Bruce Willis was left with only one word left: "I'm convinced."

Then, the filming of this scene went really smoothly——

Bruce Willis, no, Dr. Malcolm hurries to a restaurant, where Olivia, who plays his wife, is sitting there with an indifferent look on her face.

The doctor said sorry to his wife.

He felt that he had often lost his sense of time recently, possibly because his work was not going well.

But his wife kept her head down and ignored him completely.

The doctor keeps explaining——

"I know I've alienated you, I know you're angry..."

But the wife still said nothing. Even when the doctor stretched out his hand to grab his wife's hand, the wife took her hand away.

"Happy anniversary."

The wife finally said this and left in a hurry.

"Cut!"

Charlotte behind the monitor nodded,

"This was a good shot!"

Mr. Director clapped his hands,

"Next scene!"

The script clerk and other staff members immediately ran over and started preparations.

And Ovelia Williams breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, when she heard Charlotte's instructions, she doubted whether she could do it. But the director just adjusted the scene and shots, and she immediately felt much more relaxed.

——In this way, when filming, she can really pretend that Bruce Willis "doesn't exist".

This is completely in line with the setting of the script.

After all, according to the story, what the audience sees from the male protagonist's perspective is the wife's dissatisfaction with her husband who is busy at work, but in fact, it is the wife who cannot see her husband at all.

Ovelia feels she has finally found the feeling of acting opposite Bruce Willis.

——To put it simply, "just pretend he doesn't exist".

Although it was easier said than done, Ovelia finally had a direction to work towards, which made her performance much more presentable in subsequent filming.

In contrast, Toni Collette, who plays Lynne, the mother of little boy Cole, has more trouble.

"If I had such a child in reality, I wouldn't be as strong as Lynn!"

After filming another scene opposite Sam Fair, as "mother" Toni started chatting with her "son" Sam,

"Sam, if you were like Cole, born with yin and yang eyes that can see ghosts, would you be scared?"

"..."

Sam Fair looked at Toni Collette with a strange look for a long time before he hesitated and said,

"I will definitely be scared at first, but after a long time-"

Sam looked around;

"I guess I'll get used to it!"

"Then you are so brave!"

Toni Collette said this in a unique tone of praise for children, and pinched Sam's cheek.

The action drew a protest from Sam, which made Toni giggle and Sam roll his eyes.

——The reason why he said that just now was "brave" or something like that. That was simply his real-life experience, wasn't it? ?

Since the past few days, several ghosts have been floating around the set every day, and they even attached themselves directly to the extras playing ghosts when filming some ghost-related scenes.

Under this situation, even though Sam was a little scared at first, he has become accustomed to it by now.

What's more, he secretly asked the director who could also see ghosts before, but the answer he got was--

"That's the special actor I invited!"

At that moment, the director's tone was very calm, but Sam thought the other person was extremely handsome.

——If only I could do this in the future!

Sam thought with envy in his heart, and gradually became less afraid of the ghosts that haunted the set.

——The director has already said that this is a special actor he invited. What’s so scary about it?

The only thing that made Sam depressed was that the set of the subject in Malcolm's sanatorium seemed to feel a lot colder all of a sudden.

Although it can only be considered early spring, and it is normal for the weather to be hot and cold, Sam feels that this change is probably related to the ghosts that haunt the set.

"Is it true, as the script says, that when ghosts are angry, the temperature drops and becomes very cold?"

Sam thought to himself.

This sentence is a line for his character Cole, and he naturally remembers it clearly.

Now it seems that this line is not fictional.

**********

"Of course that line is fictional!"

After the day's shooting, as a curious child, Sam Fair couldn't help but ask Charlotte this question, but what he got was a funny answer from the director,

"Among other things, I think Alexis is very familiar with you! She is essentially a kind of ghost. You have felt cold when you were around her, or as the script says - "chills stand on end, like "Facing the abyss"?

"That's not true."

Sam Fehr thought for a while,

"But Miss Alexis is such a nice person, I've never seen her angry before!"

"..."

——Child, that is your illusion!

Although she wanted to complain like this, Charlotte finally did not say anything bad about Miss Valkyrie, but explained to Sam Feier,

"The reason why the set became cold is indeed related to ghosts and spells, but it is not because of their appearance and anger, but because they can appear -"

"..."

Sam shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand at all.

This was within Charlotte's expectation, he continued to explain,

"These ghosts are actually people who died in the past in Malcolm Sanitarium, but they are not ordinary ghosts, but some remnant souls. Under normal circumstances, they cannot appear in front of an adult like me. That would be easy. Causing them to completely dissipate."

"So I'm the only one who's seen these ghosts on set before?"

Sam reacted quickly, and he immediately understood what Charlotte meant.

"And the reason why these ghosts are haunting the studio now is because of some spell you cast, Mr. Director, right?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"I set up a magic circle on the set so that these remnant souls can haunt normal adults without dissipating. The price is that the temperature will drop slightly!"

"It's like in a refrigerator, the low temperature keeps the food fresh."
