Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 357: Beauty in trouble

Unlike Depp, who subconsciously blocked the memory of ghosts because of fear, Jodie Foster was very much looking forward to seeing real ghosts during filming.

From this perspective, the actress is indeed very courageous.

Although she suffered a lot from ghosts and spells during the painting skin incident before, she came up with the idea of ​​​​respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them.

But women's curiosity is sometimes a very strange existence.

As time went by, the fear slowly subsided, and now Judy even wanted to see those wonderful ghosts.

——Of course, the premise is that no harm will be done.

This was actually the reason why she immediately agreed as soon as she received Charlotte's invitation.

——If you want to watch ghosts safely and find excitement, it is naturally most convenient to follow a powerful exorcist like Charlotte.

On the other hand, Judy also wants to use her cooperation with Charlotte to enhance her business appeal.

You must know that although she has been nominated twice at the Oscars, in terms of pure box office appeal, she is not much better than Meg Ryan and other actresses who focus on the commercial field.

An actress like Julia Roberts, who mainly focuses on chick flicks and can put aside men and take charge of the box office independently, has commercial appeal that Judy can't match.

Therefore, after winning the Oscar for the second time through "Silence of the Lambs", Judy began to transition into the commercial field.

But the problem is that Judy's appearance is more delicate, not the girl-next-door type that American audiences like most, nor is she a carefree American girl.

Although her appearance is in line with the aesthetics of the Oscar judges, it is not as friendly to the general American audience as Julia Roberts's big mouth.

This has prevented her from forming a unique charm and brand in the female-dominated film genre of chick flicks.

After "The Silence of the Lambs" and especially after meeting Charlotte, her career as a producer exploded.

——This involved a lot of her energy.

As a result, as of now in 1996, Judy, as a female star, still has not developed a strong enough box office appeal in the field of commercial films.

Although as a double Oscar-winning actress, her salary is not low, and her box office appeal is not inferior to other first-line actresses, but she is far from the feeling of being overlooked in the field of acting.

Especially because she has appeared in famous thriller movies many times before, her image has even become somewhat solidified in the eyes of the audience.

——This is very unfavorable to her development in the field of chick flicks with a female audience.

Of course, Judy doesn't have to be in a chick flick.

But the problem is that in other genre films, her development is not very smooth.

It can be said that after being banned for the second time, Judy's career development as an actor has obviously encountered a bottleneck——

In terms of acting awards, she has reached the ultimate level that an actress can achieve.

Unless you want to imitate Katharine Hepburn, who was crowned queen four times in her life, Judy's achievements in the Oscars will be just like this.

But how could Catherine the Great be so studious?

Not to mention that the times are completely different, Katharine Hepburn dared to beat up Howard Hughes, which is beyond the reach of ordinary actresses.

In a way, Catherine the Great was a real man.

Anyway, Jodie Foster is ashamed of herself.

As for the field of commercial films, Judy has always been in a state of neither getting up nor down.

Although it will not slip out of the top line, it is impossible to surpass others and form its own unique box office appeal like Julia Roberts.

The key is that Judy is now 34 years old.

Unlike male stars who "explode at thirty and bloom forty-one flowers", in Hollywood, female stars may take a back seat at any time once they reach forty.

At least, the most suitable role for them at that time was the role of mother.

Many movies no longer choose actresses over forty as their heroines.

——This can be said to be determined by the menstrual cycle of men and women. Even Jodie Foster cannot stop the power of natural aging.

Of course, hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin may be able to prevent it, but the question is, do you still want to act well with a zombie face like that?

Although Judy's current status in the Hollywood circle and the development prospects of her "Egg" company, even if she stops acting, she can still earn a lot of money and become one of the most powerful women in Hollywood.

But as an actor, Judy, who is actually very proud deep down, is somewhat unwilling to do so.

She hopes to be unique in the field of commercial films.

This is the underlying reason why she accepted the contract as the heroine of "Hell Detective"——

Because she is familiar with Charlotte Booth, she believes that he can bring her a classic commercial movie, thereby increasing her box office appeal.

For this reason, Judy even turned down the invitation for the sequel to "Silence of the Lambs" and did not care too much about the salary.

——Of course, after the "Painted Skin Incident", she really no longer had a good impression of the movie "Silence of the Lambs".

At present, Judy feels that the price she paid is worth it.

At least, just looking at the scenes opposite Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp, Judy felt that she had a great chance of success.

In particular, Charlotte also implicitly hinted that some of the scenes between the two were simply filmed to serve a portion of the female audience.

Although Judy did not fully understand the meaning, as a woman who loves women, she could still see that the rivalry between Reeves and Depp would definitely interest many female audiences.

After all, these two people, plus the deceased River Phoenix, are the famous trio of gay friends in Hollywood.

And speaking of River Phoenix...

Judy once heard Charlotte joke with Charlize in a low voice, saying that this time they could finally get Keanu and Depp together.

Does this mean -

Judy guessed, but looking at the part being filmed so far, she couldn't see any problems at all.

"No, I can't say it's completely okay."

Judy thought for a while,

"At least both Depp and Reeves' acting skills seem to be much higher than usual!"

Although Keanu Reeves and Judy are not familiar with each other, Judy still knows about Johnny Depp’s acting skills because he is friends with Winona.

"Does it mean that when you film with Charlotte, your acting skills will explode?"

Judy secretly suspected,

"Maybe I should go directly to Charlotte and ask. Anyway, he didn't hide anything about the painted skin from me before..."

Of course, Judy's most important job at present is to play the heroine in "Hell Detective"——

Angela!
