Chatty Hollywood

Barry Mendel finally returned with the plan.

In Charlotte's view, this matter is half done. The rest depends on whether he and Warner can reach an agreement on issues of power and interests.

In fact, he was able to quickly prepare draft scripts and plans, thanks to the blessing of crossing.

After all, in the original world, Keanu Reeves's version of Constantine, or "Inferno", he still watched.

In his opinion, the plot design of the movie is actually not a big problem, and many people like it. The reason why it has not become a classic, the problem is more in other aspects—

First of all, Keanu Reeves, who relied on his appearance to beat the world, did not show the evil feeling of Constantine in the comics.

His Constantine was even more bitter.

This is not only related to the setting of the script, but also to the poor acting skills of Keanu Reeves.

Moreover, in the original world, during that time, Reeves's personal experience was indeed a bitter and enmity-

Dead sister, dead child, dead girlfriend...

Most people do not have a nervous breakdown.

In addition, in the original world, the release time of "Hell Detective" was 2005—

At that time, because of the success of "The Matrix", Keanu Reeves had been given the image of Neo.

-When the audience saw him, the first reaction was always Neo.

In this case, it would be inappropriate for him to play Constantine again.

Of course, it is impossible to say that the movie "Detective of Hell" has not reached the height it should be. It is completely Keanu Reeves's pot.

In her previous life, Charlotte, who had never filmed a movie, was still unaware of the problem.

But now that four movies have been shot in succession, even though it is essentially just a transport, Charlotte's understanding of film production has reached an extremely deep level.

He realized that the "Constantine" in the original world was not successful enough. The biggest problem was not in the script or the actors, but in the director's narrative and rhythm control—

In the early stage, the pace was not fast, too much information was unclear, and the later stage was eager to advance the plot...

It can be said that the movie "Detective of Hell" is quite unfriendly to non-fan audiences.

If you have not read the relevant cartoons and lack understanding of religious knowledge, it will be difficult to understand this movie.

In this case, it is naturally impossible to achieve satisfactory box office results.

—After all, the three words "cannot understand" are the enemy of the box office!

In fact, being unfriendly to non-fan audiences is a consistent problem with DC comics superhero movies—

Especially for later generations, after seeing the success of the Marvel universe series of movies, DC Comics and Warner are eager to achieve success, always wanting to finish their work, this situation is even more serious.

Take "Batman v Superman" for example—

Inside, Batman, who used the Kryptonite to set up a trap, was about to kill Superman, but just because of Superman’s "Save Martha!" he felt soft...

Who can understand! ?

If you are not a fan of DC Comics, or have an excellent memory, who can remember that Superman’s mother on Earth was named Martha, and Batman’s mother was killed when he was a child named Martha Wayne! ?

Making a movie, and still playing so crazy, are you afraid that your grades are too good! ?

Especially, the movie is not like it yet, it is impossible to write PS at the end of the chapter...

Anyway, Charlotte feels that "Hell Detective"'s unkindness to non-fans to the audience is a major factor in its average performance.

Among them, there are both the rhythm and the director's narrative ability.

In this movie, the appearance of many characters is very abrupt. For example, the role of Father Midnight—

If the audience has not read the comics, I am afraid that by the end of the movie, they will not understand what this great power is doing. And what happened to his chair...

In addition, in order to highlight the religious feeling, the director used a lot of dark and depressive elements, which should be the computer special effects that should be the highlight.

As a result, the feeling of darkness and depression came out, but the visual impact brought by the special effects was almost completely gone...

To be honest, after making so many mistakes, Charlotte's original "Hell Detective" hasn't lost his life yet. This can be said to be a great fortune.

And now, comparing the mistakes made by the movie "Detective of Hell" in the original world, Charlotte naturally has a new insight based on current experience.

—This is why he can quickly come up with the film plan and draft script of Constantine.

*******

However, regardless of Warner's response, "Constantine" is a future thing.

Now, Charlotte’s focus is still on "Sixth Sense"—

After entering July, the box office curve of "Sixth Sense" has gradually decreased. Although it has not exhausted its potential, it is not as hot as the first month.

Then came Roland Emmerich's special effects blockbuster "Independence Day".

This sci-fi blockbuster starring Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goblen quickly grabbed the title of the weekly box office champion as soon as it came up.

It's like in this movie, when the alien comes out on the scene, the black cloud feels overwhelming.

However, for other movies, for Charlotte and "Sixth Sense", this feeling does not exist—

First of all, so far, the cumulative box office of "Sixth Sense" in North America has reached 260 million U.S. dollars, and it is expected that more than 300 million U.S. dollars is not a problem.

If you stick to the theater for a longer time, it can even reach about 350 million.

This kind of achievement is definitely a strong contender for the 1996 North American annual box office championship.

At the same time, the overseas screening results of "Sixth Sense" are also very good—

Warner learned from Charlotte's local charity propaganda methods, and worked hard to promote it in many countries.

This has made "Sixth Sense" popular in many countries, and the box office has become popular.

Now, Warner’s Barry Mendel, who is in charge of the movie, is already a little dizzy with joy.

He even offered to Charlotte to help "Sixth Sense" win next year's Oscar.

Charlotte would naturally not refuse this request. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In fact, he is also very confident in the "Sixth Sense" that has been fine-tuned by himself.

"I don't know if I can win important awards such as best director or best screenplay?"

Charlotte was looking forward to it.

Of course, what he looks forward to most now is the long-lost holiday—

After a month of care, Charlize's mother recovered her sanity and gradually got used to the new life.

In the end, she did not choose to live with her daughter, who had become a big star, but instead planned to move to the place where she had lived before.

This gave Charlotte a sigh of relief.

—After all, with a girl’s mother, many things are not easy to do.

Now, without the light bulb of the girl’s mother, he can finally go on vacation with Charlize...
