Chatty Hollywood

"No, I chose this German girl for a reason."

Charlotte explained to Charlize,

"Sally, you have read my script - you should know the significance of the Spear of Destiny, or the Spear of Longinus, in this movie."

"Yes, I understand this."

"During World War II, the Nazis were looking for the Gun of Longinus, just like they were looking for other mysterious things. So, can we assume that they found it and then hid it because of the failure of World War II? Are you up?"

"That makes sense."

Charlize nodded, and then somewhat understood what Charlotte meant,

"Did you make the possessed girl German just to hint at her connection to the Gun of Longinus?"

"There is this factor."

Charlotte nodded,

"As for whether the girl's family has a relationship with the Nazis, I won't say it explicitly in the movie - there is no need - I just need people to make this association after watching it."

——In this way, the exorcism that was slightly isolated at the beginning of the original "Hell Detective" will be more closely connected with the main story line in this version.

Charlotte felt that this would make the story more complete and reasonable.

"Furthermore, in this way, I even gave a clearer explanation of the reason for the demon's possession."

Charlotte smiled;

"In order to find the Gun of Longinus, the demons deliberately possessed people who might be related to the Nazis to take the opportunity to find clues - in this way, it would seem more complicated than simply the demons trying to break through the boundaries between hell and earth. Be more reasonable.”

"...What you said makes sense."

Charlize nodded, then rolled his eyes at Charlotte again,

"However, I still think you are a blonde!"

"Well, if you insist on saying so -"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Then I'll control you tonight!"

As he spoke, he whispered something into Charlize's ear, and his fingers passed under the girl's waistline.

The girl's face suddenly turned red...

**********

Of course, after that, how Charlotte "explains" her "blond hair" problem to Charlize has nothing to do with the current filming.

Now, Constantine, played by Keanu Reeves, is performing an exorcism——

He first used sunlight and the Holy Spirit mark in his hand to weaken the demon possessing the girl.

Then, facing the devil, he announced his name——

"I'm Constantine! John Constantine! You bastard!"

"CUT!"

Charlotte called stop again.

"Keanu, something doesn't feel right!"

Mr. Director scratched his head,

"It is one of Constantine's habits to announce one's identity to the devil. He does this not just to look cool!"

As she spoke, Charlotte explained,

"Constantine hates demons, and at the same time he is afraid of falling into hell after death. Therefore, his curses on demons contain hatred and fear. On the other hand, Constantine wants to ascend to heaven after death, which makes He couldn’t help but want to expand his reputation.”

"Expand your reputation?"

Seeing that Keanu Reeves didn't quite understand, Charlotte further explained,

"He wanted God to let him go to heaven after his death because of his efforts to exorcise demons."

"So that's it!"

Reeves nodded, and then he remembered the script he had read.

"But the more he behaves like this, the less likely he is to succeed, right?"

"yes!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"According to religious theory, God will not encourage this kind of utilitarianism. Speaking of which, Keanu, the Buddhism you believe in actually has a similar statement."

"Buddhist saying?"

Keanu Reeves was stunned.

Although he became interested in Buddhism after participating in Bernardo Bertolucci's "Little Living Buddha" in 1993.

But when it comes to Buddhist cultivation, his level is not very high.

He believes in Buddhism, mostly because he wants to gain spiritual peace through it.

Therefore, when Charlotte said this, the Buddhist young Keanu Reeves didn't know how to answer for a while.

Fortunately, Charlotte is not his Buddhist mentor.

The director shrugged and said,

"I can't help it!"

"ah!"

Keanu suddenly realized that Charlotte was talking about one of the Eight Sufferings in Buddhism.

Although to a certain extent, Mr. Director’s words are deliberately distorted, but I have to say that it does feel that way...

"If you have the intention to do good, you will not be rewarded even if it is good. If you do not have the intention to do evil, you will not be punished even if it is evil."

What Charlotte was thinking silently in her heart was the famous line from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Kao Chenghuang".

Although, in the entire script of "Hell Detective", he only optimized the narrative and rhythm, and generally followed the storyline of the original movie, but here he was very disdainful.

In Charlotte's view, this is actually a kind of hypocrisy——

Good is good and evil is evil.

Although in this gray world, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil in many things, and it does not mean that good deeds will be rewarded.

But if you do a good deed, you still have to check whether the other person's motivation for doing the good deed is pure, which is a bit of a search for trouble.

Even though Charlotte understood the meaning, he still felt that to a greater extent, it was just religious hypocrisy.

Of course, Charlotte would not say this out of boredom.

He just helped Keanu Reeves guide his emotions and let him understand the character Constantine from a deeper level, and then started filming again——

This time, Keanu Reeves got over it.

He plays Constantine, who performs exorcisms with a very irritable attitude.

However, it is different from the previous shooting.

In the past, the physical abnormalities of girls possessed by demons mostly only needed acting and makeup to express them.

But here, all that is needed are special effects.

After all, according to Charlotte's script, whether it is the demon struggling out of the girl's body or the subsequent scene of him being trapped in the mirror by Constantine, these are not scenes that can appear in reality.

To achieve this, special effects technology is essential.

Of course, for Charlotte, there is also the unique option of spell effects.

In particular, unlike when she was filming "Sleepy Hollow" or even "The Sixth Sense", Charlotte now has the support of many people, including assistant director Lao Qiang and cinematographer Addison Young.

In this case, his spell effects can be played more elegantly.

At least, at this time, in Addison Young's camera lens that was modified by Charlotte's magic, the German girl really had a demon attached to her body.

Of course, this is not a real demon, but a transformation from River Phoenix.

As a headless horseman who can change his body to a certain extent, Ruifan is waiting to surprise his old friend Keanu...
