Chatty Hollywood

Regardless, no matter how Warner and Disney decide, it doesn't matter for the time being that Charlotte has decided to shoot "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in person.

The first task now is to raise funds for filming.

It should be said that with Charlotte's current status in the circle, this is not difficult.

Among other things, he already has 30 million U.S. dollars in hand, including investments in Warner and Disney.

And counting the box office success of several previous movies, Charlotte has a lot of funds that can be used.

Especially "Sixth Sense" and "Hell Detective", these two films were initiated and led by Charlotte in the name of the Ghost Party Studio.

This means that he can get a large part of the revenue from these two films.

Unlike "Fatal Turn" and "Happy Death Day", I can only earn some hard money as a senior worker.

In fact, by the time the box office proceeds of "Hell Detective" basically arrive, the funds that Charlotte can use may reach 100 million U.S. dollars.

——This is still without calculating the later copyright income.

This money, although it is a little bit close to shooting some special effects commercials after 2000, but now, it is quite a lot.

Not to mention, according to the previous step-by-step agreement with Zippo, he can still get 13 million US dollars in sponsorship...

However, making movies with one's own money is not a skill.

If Charlotte has hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidity in his hands, he doesn't mind if he pays out a full movie. After all, he can monopolize the income.

But now this little money, although it is enough for the production cost, the post-announcement cost is not necessarily enough, not to mention the Ghost Party Studio has other projects that require financial support.

In general, the overall pressure is not in line with Charlotte's style, nor is it a common practice in Hollywood.

It is a normal strategy to pull a few investors into the game to reduce risks.

In this regard, Charlotte does not intend to go against the norm.

Fortunately, after the box office of "Hell Detective" broke 100 million yuan in the first week, he is currently in the limelight, and it is easy to raise investment.

Among other things, when he heard that he was planning to make "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Judy Foster called immediately.

As for the new line, Mr. Westwood, the old fritters, was once again sent over.

——By the way, the old guy is still carrying this emergency medicine, so Charlotte doesn't know if he is really likely to be called by the Lord at any time, or deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of him.

All in all, if you count the thirty million you have given yourself, Charlotte can easily raise a small $100 million.

"If it's a normal shooting method, the money might not be enough. But in my case—"

Charlotte boasted to Charlize and Alexis who knew the inside story,

"The magical special effects save a lot of cost, plus I prepared a lot of materials when I made TV animations a long time ago-the money is enough for me to finish the film and then promote it."

"Well, you are really good in this regard!"

Charlize did not object to Charlotte's words. She just asked curiously,

"But the biggest problem with the project of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is actually not the special effects, but the selection and guidance of the actors?-According to the story, many of the main actors are minors!"

"This is indeed a trouble!"

Charlotte nodded.

——When filming "Sixth Sense", Charlotte already knew how troublesome it was to direct children to film.

It's like the saying circulated in Hollywood--

Children and animals are the most uncontrollable elements in a movie. They can destroy a movie or make a movie.

In "Sixth Sense", the main child actor was only Sam Phil. Fortunately, this time "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", Charlotte is really going to be the king of children.

"But it's nothing."

Charlotte sighed.

"Anyway, this time it must be a large-scale casting! Just choose some spiritual children! It's just time—"

"What's wrong with time?"

"It will be longer! It is estimated that it will take a few months to prepare for the casting alone, plus other preparatory work, I am afraid that it will not be possible to officially start shooting within half a year."

"The preparation time for half a year is not long!"

Charlize was a little strange, and then she glanced at Charlotte and understood.

"Well, it's really long by your standards!"

In recent years, Charlotte can usually complete a movie in about a year. The earliest "Fatal Turn" and "Happy Death Day", even because of the simple post-processing, were completed within a year.

This speed of filming simply blinds the eyes of many directors and producers.

You know, including the pre-production and post-production, the energy consumption of most films from project approval to official release is about two years, which is already relatively fast.

The one-year practice like Charlotte's is simply touching.

But the quality of this guy’s movies is pretty good, and he has even won the North American box office champion for two years in 1995 and 1996~www.readwn.com~ Michael Bay, the director of "Peerless Tribulation" I am currently filming, said You are simply a monster! "

Charlize smiled.

"monster!?"

Charlotte deliberately said viciously,

"Madam, you will pay for this description of yours at night!"

"That's not what I said, it was Michael Bay."

"But I heard it from your mouth, so..."

Charlotte glanced at Charlize's rosy lips, and was about to say something--

"Hey!!"

Alexis on one side finally couldn't help but protest.

"You two pay attention, I'm still here!!!"

"……Excuse me."

Charlize and Charlotte realized that they had inadvertently sent a heavy taste of dog food to Miss Valkyrie, and hurriedly apologized.

And Alexis curled his lips.

"If I wasn't here, maybe these two guys would start doing it right away, right?"

I imagined some scenes I saw when I was attached to Charlize in the past, Miss Valkyrie's face turned red.

"In short, due to various reasons, the preparations this time must not be as fast as before. Seeing Charlotte, do you have any other plans?"

With that, she pointed to Charlize.

"You specifically called Sally to come this time, maybe it was just to show me your affection, right?"

"I just want to make another relatively simple movie during the long preparation period!"

Charlotte shrugged and handed Charlize a script.

"Sally, do you want to try it?"

"New script!?"

Charlize took a look at the script and saw that the name was written on it--

"silver linings Playbook".
