Chapter 78 Groundhog Day

"This kid has indeed matured!"

Seeing Charlotte chatting in front of him, Lao Qiang suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He and Charlotte met more than three years ago. At that time, Lao Qiang had just divorced his ex-wife and often drank to drown his sorrows.

Once, he passed out drunk in the alley behind the bar. It was still winter, and dripping water turned into ice. If no one cared about him, he would definitely be frozen into ice cubes the next morning and then lie on the autopsy table of the police forensic doctor.

Fortunately, Charlotte also drank too much and vomited in an alley, only to find him.

Since then, they have known each other.

At that time, Charlotte's character was still quite frivolous, the complete opposite of the old-school old gun. But whether it was out of gratitude or a natural affinity, Lao Qiang actually got along well with him.

Especially in the past six months or so, he has not only given up drinking, but has also become much more serious about his work. Plus, because they are in the same crew, the two of them have actually become friends who share the joys and sorrows.

Although Lao Qiang was willing to support Charlotte during the filming, it was more out of repayment. But after working together on a movie, he suddenly discovered that this guy seemed to really have an idea for movies. If this is the case, then continuing to cooperate is a good choice.

As Lao Qiang said before, he really doesn't have much ambition in terms of movies now. But this doesn't mean that he doesn't want to make more money, or that he doesn't want to make some movies that he can be proud of when he retires.

So when Charlotte came up with the idea of ​​starting her own studio, Lao Qiang did feel a sense of relief.

"Hey, Lao Qiang, what do you mean by that look in your eyes that says, "The prodigal son has finally turned around?"

Well, Charlotte seems to have figured it out.

"It's okay to follow you."

Lao Qiang tugged on his beard in embarrassment.

"However, your plan is based on the premise that your script can be successfully put into production and that both production companies are interested in it. Are you confident?"

"Didn't you also read the first draft of the script? What, you forgot?"

Charlotte was a little dissatisfied.

"Well...it's really good!"

Lao Qiang avoided his friend's eyes.

At that moment just now, the reason why Lao Qiang didn't immediately think of his feelings about Charlotte's new script was because before he saw the script, something quite embarrassing happened to him——

The time Charlotte went to find him was this Wednesday morning.

Maybe it was because he had been writing the script all night, but when this guy went to look for him with red eyes, his genius was bright. As a result, he suddenly blocked the old gun.

At that time, Annika was at the old gun.

Moreover, both of them woke up relatively early that day and were preparing for another "activity"...

Although Lao Gun opened the door in time after hearing the knock on the door, Charlotte was also a visitor after all. He just looked at the clothes scattered on the ground, and glanced at the messy hair of Lao Qiang and Annika, and knew that he had ruined their good deeds.

——Of course, he would find it so easily, maybe because when Lao Qiang hurriedly opened the door, his physiological reaction had not been completely eliminated...

In short, adultery, ah, it's the two people whose love affair was broken up by Charlotte. They have been a little awkward facing this guy in recent days.

Especially when this guy said with a wicked smile:

"How about you continue? I can go find something to eat nearby first."

——Then you might as well not come at all! ! !

Lao Qiang, who was disturbed in his excitement, wanted to grab this guy's collar and roar like this.

What happens after that is very simple.

After packing up, the two had breakfast with Charlotte, during which Lao Qiang read the first draft and outline of Charlotte's new script. He greatly appreciated this innovative script,

I think if it can be made, it will be a good movie...

"Speaking of which, your new script is based on the infinite loop setting in "Groundhog Day", right?"

Recalling the feeling of reading the script at that time, Lao Qiang confirmed with Charlotte again.

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded,

"I came up with this idea after watching the Groundhog Day video with Sally on Sunday..."

This is indeed the case, but Charlotte omitted many details——

When he and Charlize drove back to his apartment, they were already exhausted after a night of ghost hunting, followed by heart-wrenching conversations and intense exercise to vent their emotions.

They had to take a quick break, which is why they didn't watch Groundhog Day until Sunday.

When watching the tape, Charlotte didn't think of any ideas for a new script at first. He was thinking about how to deal with the huge vitality left after Wei Changhui was completely eliminated.

First of all, he cannot absorb the life force that does not belong to him. In fact, as long as it is not a monster, the life force will not be of much use even if it is absorbed.

After all, real life is not a game, and you will not be able to withstand more damage just because your health bar is longer. Cut your throat with a knife, and you must die, not a minute faster, not a second slower.

Secondly, he cannot give this life force to others.

In fact, when he first obtained this life force, he considered transferring this power to Alexis.

The other party is essentially a ghost, but he can indeed absorb this life force. Especially Charlotte promised her to help her live like a living person. And to meet this point, it does require a lot of vitality - Charlotte has already said this to Charlize and Alexis before.

However, the problem is that Charlotte was able to obtain this life force because he used the power of the big ghost to swallow Wei Changhui's remaining ghost tiger power. But now that he wants to transfer this life force to Alexis, he can't let the other party swallow him in one breath, right?

——He is still young and has not lived enough yet.

As for the other methods, although Charlotte could barely pass on the life force, Alexis would never be able to absorb it, and it would overflow quickly. Doing that would be the same as directly taking away this precious life force. What difference does it make if the vitality is lost?

——Although when the old ghost taught him, he also mentioned that there is a method of dual cultivation that can effectively transfer vitality. But the old ghost himself doesn't know that kind of mysterious (rang) wonderful (ren) incomparable (xian) (mu) magic, so how can he teach him?

What's more, even if he knows that kind of magic, Alexis is an incorporeal ghost!

What should he do to double cultivate with the other party? Could it be that I am facing the air...

For the sake of her own integrity, Charlotte thought it would be better not to think about this aspect again.

Charlize on the other side didn't notice Charlotte's thoughts. Perhaps because she had let go of her burdens, she felt extremely relaxed when watching the video and was completely immersed in the story of "Groundhog Day".

"If you die and live again and again like this, if it's not an infinite cycle, how strong your vitality must be!"

Watching the plot in the movie, the male protagonist Phil tried to commit suicide over and over again because he was desperate that he could only live in an infinite loop on February 2, but he would continue to live in the next loop. Charlie I couldn't help but sigh.

"Infinite loop? Life force!?"

The girl's words were like a bolt of lightning, flashing through Charlotte's mind.

"I thought of a way!!!"
