Chatty Hollywood

"Actually, I wanted to ask you. As you said before, there is a character in the new movie who wants to consider Downey-is there any hope for this matter now?"

After talking about the previous things, Judy Foster brought the topic back to the subject.

——She came back to find Charlotte again, mainly for this matter.

In this regard, Charlotte, as the director, is somewhat noncommittal.

"To be honest, if Downey quits the drug addiction, he is really suitable, but there are two problems."

"What's the problem? Tell me!"

"First, with his current reputation, he can't get a high salary, and I won't give him a high salary. The salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars is already the highest. But—"

Charlotte looked at Judy Foster,

"—Can Donny accept it?"

"this……"

Judy Foster thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"I don't think this should be a problem. After this time, Downey should have realized this aspect."

"Yes?"

Charlotte did not make any comments, and then asked the second question.

"Secondly, Downey’s current reputation is not very good. If I use him as the starring role in my movie, I must work **** publicity and give him the image of the prodigal son. This requires him to sign a lot of agreements to cooperate. That's fine."

"I see, it is true."

Judy wrinkled his pretty nose,

"Although it's a bit harsh, but with Downey's current conditions, this is actually quite reasonable."

Charlotte added,

"In addition, I have to sign a supplementary agreement with him-except for the necessary living expenses, other parts of his remuneration will be temporarily held as collateral. Before the film is officially released, he must undergo regular medical examinations. If he is found to be touched again For those drugs, the pay will be deducted accordingly."

"So cruel!?"

Miss Shadow Queen was a little surprised,

"Since you have given him a detoxification spell, this agreement is completely unnecessary, right?"

"That's different."

Charlotte shook her head.

"I used the spell to cast him as Patrick Jane. From the point of view of director Charlotte Booth, I shouldn't know about it, let alone believe it."

"...That's true."

When Charlotte said so, Judy felt more and more that Charlotte was really a liar with a superb trick and a thoughtful liar...

*********

So, a week later, Robert Downey Jr., who had already packed up his new residence and was looking for performance opportunities, but hit a wall everywhere, once again got the support of his friend Judy Foster——

"Charlotte Booth's movie, with me as the protagonist!?"

Downey couldn't believe it.

"Just an audition opportunity!"

Judy emphasized,

"If the performance is unqualified, there will be no more."

"This is natural."

Downey nodded a little excitedly.

"This is already good for me."

——In these days, Downey also went to several crews. However, just as he had expected before he was released from prison, as long as everyone heard his name, they would automatically ignore it. It was like facing the plague and avoided it.

——He didn't get any chance to audition at all.

Therefore, at this time, the audition opportunity for a major director's film is already precious to Downey.

He has no intention of being picky at all.

——Even if Judy passed on Charlotte's series of harsh conditions.

Even Downey was a little happy--

"The conditions are so harsh, does it mean that the other party has indeed considered making me the leading role-then my audition success rate is greatly improved."

"...It seems to be the case."

Judy Foster couldn't help sighing.

—— Downey’s brains are indeed very good, but from Charlotte’s offer, he can see that the other party is sincere.

——But in that case, why did you do so before?

In this regard, Miss Shadow Queen could only sigh.

***********

But Downey, after receiving the good news, cheered up.

Although Charlotte hasn't touched anything related to cocaine at all recently because of the spell cast by Charlotte, his physical dependence on drugs still exists to a certain extent.

This has made him very uncomfortable lately.

In fact, after being rejected by a certain crew a few days ago, Downey was weak-willed for a while. Under the temptation of the previous medicine, he bought a few large (river crab) hemp.

However, as soon as he lit it up and put it to his mouth, the feeling that his lungs were being burned by hellfire struck again, causing him to roll on the ground for a long time with pain.

The pain finally awoke him.

The big (river crab) hemp he bought was also rushed into the sewer.

But before the drug addiction is completely eliminated, it is also a reality that he is constantly troubled by withdrawal reactions.

In addition, the current acting career needs to start all over again, constantly hitting walls...

It can be said that this audition invitation from Charlotte Booth is the only good news that Downey has received recently.

——Although Downey also understands that this invitation, Judy Foster used his own face to win him 80%. But since the other party put forward such a specific request, it is estimated that the hope is still great!

Anyway, Downey encouraged himself that way.

He is also going to watch a movie to celebrate.

As it happens, the "Mummy" directed by Charlotte Booth will be released recently...

Downey was going to stop by to learn about the shooting style of his future director.

*******

Of course, Downey is not the only one who pays attention to the movie "The Mummy".

In fact, after the Oscars ceremony in early 1999, the pre-propaganda of "The Mummy" had already begun-

Not to mention the conventional forms of propaganda such as trailers and posters, there are also many propaganda soft articles on the Internet.

Even when "The Mummy" is online pre-sale, it also provides an additional chance to draw a lottery——

Audiences can participate in a lottery with their movie tickets after watching the movie, and win the opportunity to travel to the location of "The Mummy" in Morocco~www.NovelMTL.com~ This makes many audiences very interested, and the pre-sale results of "The Mummy" Therefore, it has been rising steadily.

In particular, after analyzing Charlotte’s past achievements in a newspaper article, everyone’s attention to "The Mummy" has increased by a large amount——

"Except for "Titanic" in 1997, 1995, 1996 and 1998, Charlotte Booth's films were all well-deserved North American box office champions of the year. Then, now he is back with "The Mummy". , Does this mean that the 1999 North American box office champion is about to be born again?"

——This article was written by film critic Kenneth Turan.

It should be said that it hated Charlotte, but at the same time, it also made everyone's attention to "The Mummy" suddenly increased.

Whether it's Charlotte or the global side responsible for distributing the film, this is very welcome.

Universal even took this opportunity to directly increase the number of opening screens of the movie to more than 3,000.

The release time has also been advanced to May 1st.

——This aspect is because the publicity is already hot enough, and waiting to continue is just a waste of publicity costs.

——On the other hand, it is also to avoid fighting head-on with "Star Wars: The Threat of Ghosts", which will be released on May 19th.

After all, even if the quality of "The Mummy" filmed by Charlotte is good enough, it is not good for it to conflict with American national IP movies like "Star Wars".

——Even if you win, it will only be a miserable victory.

In contrast, more than two weeks in advance, the two can be completely staggered. ()
