Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 240: Hen laying golden eggs

; "This is a very style movie."

   Roger Albert showed his purpose as soon as he came up,

   "A general movie, if the dark style is too strong, it will be unbearable for the general audience, and it will become a movie."

   "But Charlotte Booth has completely reversed this through two very characteristic male and female protagonists."

   "For Johnny Depp, this can be a breakthrough in acting. As for Charlize Theron, she gave a vase-like face a different color."

   "All of this is not only the outstanding performance of the actors, but also the result of the director's meticulous design. And this movie has such meticulous design almost everywhere."

   "This is a movie that is clearly dark, but the picture is extremely beautiful. Even though I have never been cold with dark gothic movies, I still have to"

   "Nice job, Charlotte! Your movie is worth two thumbs."

   Looking at Roger Albert's film reviews in the newspaper, Charlotte laughed silently.

   He knew that Paramount had stuffed money for publicity.

   But what about it?

  As a Pulitzer Prize winner, Roger Albert is still Roger Albert after all. He will not ignore his credibility for money.

   To a film critic, that is the most fundamental existence.

   Roger Albert is able to give two thumbs, no matter what factors are in it, it is clear that this movie is indeed worth two thumbs.

   "At least, if I can achieve this result, I can be considered worthy of the original copy that I copied from the original world."

   Charlotte thought with joy.

   In fact, before the release, he was full of confidence on the surface, but in fact he was not stressed.

   After all, the shooting effect of a movie is affected by many factors. Even if the original crew is shot again, there is no guarantee that they will be exactly the same.

   Charlotte's, although the story is the same as the original version of his own world, the details are very different.

  Although, whether Charlotte himself, Andrew Kevin Walker or Judy Foster, they all feel good after seeing the samples. But for the first time directing such a big production, it still made Charlotte a little bit pressured.

   Otherwise, he would not encourage Depp to propose to Winona, he wanted to use this kind of off-market call to increase the box office.

   Of course, from the result, his worry seems unnecessary

   "At the box office of 8 million dollars on the first Saturday, maybe there is really hope to hit this year's North American box office champion!?"

   Charlotte remembered Andrew Kevin Walker's first words to him after he returned to the United States.

   At this time, it has been in theaters for a full week.

   Although the single-day box office will inevitably drop after entering the working day, there is almost no change compared to the same period last week.

   It is precisely because of this that Paramount has an idea for the annual box office champion.

   "However, can NBC TV really play a role in boosting the box office again?"

   After returning to the United States, Charlotte and Charlize also joined the propaganda team, which is one of their most recent tasks.

   However, compared to movies, Charlotte lacks interest in TV shows.

   To be honest, excluding a few famous American TV shows, all he knows about American TV shows is peace.

   At present, the former has not yet appeared, as for the latter

   For a liar, he likes to dig people, loves to pull people repeatedly sensational, it is really his most annoying routine.

   So, Charlotte has no confidence in how effective Paramount’s help in contact can be.

   Of course, this time the protagonist is not him, but Johnny Depp and Charlize.

The promotion of    movies always focuses on the stars in front of the stage.

  Charlotte is more concerned at this time, in fact, it was the agreement reached with Joanna Rowling while in the UK

   Facing Charlotte's conditions, the "magic mother" who is still a salted fish does not have much persistence.

   She agreed to Charlotte's request for the right to buy the film and television adaptation rights of her work, but only for the first work.

   and added a lot of conditions.

   Obviously, Rowling already has plans to write a sequel. Or, this story, the original plan, is one year in the book, corresponding to one work.

   In this case, as long as Rowling's mind is not flooded, it is impossible to agree to sell the adaptation rights of subsequent works together.

   After all, there is no way for the first one, but if the next few can be published, it proves that this series is definitely popular.

  How could Rowling sell the chicken that laid the golden eggs cheaply?

   Actually, Rowling didn’t even want to let go of the first film adaptation rights completely. She would rather ask for less copyright money than to open up her completely independent adaptation rights to Charlotte.

   The negotiations between the two sides were once deadlocked.

   Fortunately, Charlotte didn't really want to take the film adaptation rights of the series in one go.

   His most basic purpose is to train a team of special effects animation production through the animation version, and make money through peripheral products by the way.

   At the same time, the 3D version of Hogwarts art and architectural design accumulated during the animation process will become a support for his participation in the live-action film version.

   As for the right to adapt the first film, it was a stepping stone for him to woo other large production companies to participate in this project, and by the way, also bring himself in.

   So, he doesn't care whether he has to follow the original work when adapting.

   Again, this kind of movie is also very good to follow the original work!

   Anyway, after making a promise, ~www.readwn.com~ Charlotte got the right to adapt the film.

   Rowling requires that the investment cost of the adaptation of the film should not be less than 50 million US dollars, otherwise she finds it difficult to make a more realistic magic scene.

   And, if the film adaptation cannot start smoothly in 2000, the film adaptation right will automatically return to Rowling's side.

   These conditions are actually a bit harsh.

   However, Rowling, who didn't even publish her work, put forward these conditions, which also meant that she basically gave up the request for more copyright money.

  In fact, Rowling only asked Charlotte for a copyright of $10,000 as a guarantee for her creation.

   Of course, Charlotte has to be responsible for helping her run publishing matters.

   However, this may be a problem for a poor single mother like Rowling, but it is very easy in the hands of an already disreputable director like Charlotte.

   Charlotte just called Neil Gaiman, the writer he knew at the Saturn Awards, and solved the problem

   Neil Gaiman, who is also of British origin, once again helped contact Bloomsbury Press, which had rejected Rowling once before.

   Maybe this type of publishing house is really more suitable!

   In short, after learning that the director of Charlotte Booth was optimistic about Rowling's work, the publisher's attitude also reversed.

   The editor who was not optimistic about Rowling came to visit again and praised Rowling for being good, and then formally signed the contract with her.

   This kind of prestigious performance made the magic mother who had never seen a big scene stunned. lt;/pgt;
