Chatty Hollywood

Charlotte and Charlize's trip to Cambridge can't be considered a futile.

Although Cromwell turned into a headless horseman was not found, the scenery and humanistic architecture of Cambridge still made the two feel that this trip was not in vain.

And a day later, Charlotte received a call from Rowling.

"I can sell you the right to adapt, but there are some details that need to be discussed."

Rowling's voice was tired, and the background sound was a bit noisy, as if it was from a public phone booth.

"Okay, let's meet and talk!"

After agreeing on a meeting place with Rowling, Charlotte hung up the phone.

I hope she won't make other ideas!

Mr. Director thought in his mind.

********

Rowling had no other idea.

Although in the past two days, a friend she consulted once offered her a not-so-friendly solution.

"Actually, you can ask a reporter to release the news that the director of "Dropped Head" wants to buy the copyright of your work, maybe you can attract other interested people."

This is actually taking advantage of the situation, it is a simple method, although not necessarily effective.

But Rowling gave up this method after considering it for a while.

On the one hand, she was afraid that doing so would anger Charlotte.

In her opinion, her work has only one beginning and no publication at all. It should be a whim to the other party's fancy.

And if you release the news yourself, it is likely to cause the other party to give up the idea of ​​buying your own copyright in anger, and you really lose money.

Besides, it seems a bit unethical to do so.

This is another reason.

Rowling, who has never mixed up in the entertainment industry, is currently relatively high in morals.

Apart from financial interests, Charlotte was the first person to praise her work besides her friends.

This made Rowling subconsciously grateful to Charlotte, not willing to ruin the relationship between the two for no reason.

"Let's talk about this trick when you are sure that the talk will not work!"

Rowling was so prevarication of her friend at last, and the other side didn't care.

After all, "Guillotine Valley" is currently being screened in the British Isles during this time. In the eyes of many British people, Charlotte Booth is already a good commercial film director.

Especially the other party is also from Hollywood.

It is the best choice for Rowling to reach a more favorable agreement with the other party, and the other is just small means.

********

In fact, not only in the UK, even in the United States, Charlotte's reputation is skyrocketing.

Thanks to Depp’s successful proposal to Winona, the movie "Dropped Head" is widely known.

Even though it was released on the night of Halloween, it was Tuesday, and it was a working day, "Dropped Head" also achieved very good box office results.

On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and three working days, plus the premiere on Tuesday night, the film cut a box office of 20 million U.S. dollars and achieved a good audience reputation.

And this word of mouth even led to a box office explosion on Saturday’s rest day

"Twenty-four million!"

In the Paramount headquarters office, Andrew Kevin Walker waved his box office report excitedly.

This number is much more than he expected.

Originally according to Andrew's estimate, because the subject matter is too suitable for Halloween, the "Guillotine Valley", which is not released on Friday or Saturday, may be able to get a good box office during its premiere week.

But because it is released a few days in advance, it will consume some box office potential, and the box office will be weaker for two days on weekends.

However, "Drifthead Valley" completely violates the law that Andrew knows.

The box office of 24 million, even more than a lot of Friday night screenings, fully publicized the big production.

"Even if there is a bonus for the news of Depp and Winona's successful engagement, it is very good to be able to achieve this level."

Andrew continued to read the audience survey report,

"According to the survey, the audience's comments on movies are good, and even more rare. Film critics who have always been very picky about commercial films have given good reviews this time."

It seems that it is the right choice to leave all matters related to the production of the film to Charlotte Booth.

Andrew really appreciates many Charlottes who have the same ideas as him.

In his opinion, this is a rising box office leader.

Otherwise, even with the guarantee of Judy Foster, the Oscar queen, Andrew, who is backed by Paramount, will not completely give up the control of the final editing rights.

After all, from time to time in the director, there will be a few stunners or Wenqing who suddenly want to challenge market habits.

Fortunately, Charlotte Booth is not that kind of person.

Now the excellent box office curve of "Guillotine Valley" has fully proved this point, and by the way, it also proved Andrew's excellent vision.

"Now, we should consider how to maintain the follow-up box office trend."

As a producer who has experienced more than one film release, Andrew has not been taken away by the current results.

"According to the previous plan, when the box office curve starts to drop, let the lucky guy Depp and Winona Reid officially hold an engagement ceremony..."

Andrew actually despised Johnny Depp, a coward who had been too late to propose marriage.

However, at the key premiere, the other party finally showed the courage, and the marriage proposal was successful, which played a big role in the promotion of "Drop Head".

For the sake of the green dollar, Andrew no longer despise Depp.

However, if the guy's proposal is rejected, will it be more effective for publicity?

Mr. Producer thought darkly.

Of course, this assumption is not important now. The most important thing is to try to maintain the excellent box office trend of "Guillotine Valley".

"Maybe, in addition to Depp, there should be more publicity for Charlize Theron and Charlotte..."

Looking at the questionnaire in his hand, Andrew was lost in thought.

************

At the same time, Judy Foster, the first producer of "Guillotine Valley", the double Oscar actress, was also pondering the same problem.

This is not what Judy thinks should help Charlotte and Charlize improve their fame.

In business talks, Miss Shadow Queen is very clear about this kind of thing.

The reason why she has such an idea is mainly because of the questionnaire to the audience

"Who did you watch this movie because of?"

This is a very common question in film survey questionnaires.

Through statistics on this issue, although it cannot be said to be completely accurate, it can be seen that a movie star's box office appeal.

Those who can rely on their reputation to draw a large number of audiences into the movie theater can naturally be said to be box office superstars. UU reading www.uukａnshu.com

In the answer to this question, Johnny Depp was originally far ahead. However, as the release time of "Driftwood" has been extended, the proportion of answers to "Charlize Theron" has increased.

As for the reason

"Miss Witch is so beautiful!"

This is almost the most filled-in answer.

Although, seeing this answer, Judy, who is also known for his exquisite appearance, was a little unconvinced, but she also knew that this meant that Charlize had gained a lot of popularity through "Guillotine Valley".

"It seems that Charlotte's previous modification of the character design of Katrina is really a successful choice!"

Miss Shadow Queen sighed in her heart.

And looking at the box office chart of "Drop Head", an idea suddenly popped into her mind

Probably, maybe, maybe...can hit the North American annual box office...championship! ?
