Chatty Hollywood

As Charlotte expected, the 70th Oscars ceremony on March 23, 1998 was completely "Titanic".

This big ship is invincible, winning 11 of all 14 nominations.

-Including the most important two best director and best actor.

As a director, Charlotte has no jealousy about it.

Because he is not here.

Charlotte's attention to the Oscar is more to win the prize and practice spells.

——The trophy is a necessary tool for him, not the ultimate goal.

He is not blind enough to confuse his purpose and means.

Of course, to say that Charlotte has absolutely no idea about the best director, Golden Man, and that is naturally a lie.

At least, when he saw James Cameron holding up the trophy and shouting "I am the king of the world", Charlotte still felt a little bit "like a man when he was born."

Although, apart from Charlize, who was sitting next to him and holding his hand, no one else discovered this.

As for Charlize, this time there was no golden figure who got the queen as he wished.

Although this is also expected.

——Just like Charlotte didn't get the actor.

This year's actor and actress were all taken into the bag by the "Perfect" crew.

In this regard, Charlotte has nothing to say.

After all, as he analyzed before, "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is actually more suitable for the United States where people's living standards have declined after the subprime mortgage crisis.

——You must know that many Americans lost their jobs at that time, and "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds" which promoted "the big deal all over again" naturally became everyone's spiritual comfort.

——Even if everyone knows, life is not so good.

But in this era, the United States is still at noon in the empire, and everyone's appreciation of movies is more traditional.

In this regard, "Perfect Perfection" has an advantage.

What's more, Jack Nicholson, who is famous for "The Shining" and "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum", and has always been famous for his terrifying clown image, went so far as to act in a romance film, and he also acted "Perfectly", which really makes people unable to say anything. .

"I can only say that Jack Nicholson is also one of Oscar's favorite actors!"

Charlotte sighed in her heart.

***********

In short, this year's Oscar, Charlotte's main thing is actually to make soy sauce.

Even because he was so boring, he tried to invite Charlize to play some exciting games in the toilet.

——Unfortunately rejected by the girl.

This makes Charlotte a little regretful.

In contrast, the second thing he had to do when he returned to the United States was relatively smooth--

Under the temptation of his large number of 3D buildings and character models, Electronic Arts (EA) not accidentally knelt down and sang Conquer.

They agreed to Charlotte's request and not only paid the royalties happily, but even the percentage of shares given was not low.

And considering that with these 3D models, they can indeed increase the speed of game development a lot, so they are actually not at a loss.

Moreover, different from the increasing popularity of computer and mobile games after the 21st century, in this era, the Internet has just begun to spread, and these games have just been born.

At this time, the main force of the game industry is still the console game.

Therefore, after EA bought the copyright of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", it will also produce a console game.

In this game, they will make full use of the various models obtained from the Ghost Party Studio to create a console game with cinematic quality.

The name of this game is still "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

According to EA's plan, this game will integrate multiple elements such as exploration, puzzle solving, and RPG battles, which will be invested heavily in building.

Charlotte welcomes this.

Of course, Charlotte didn't think about it, and went directly to the famous Blizzard later to make the game of the same name, but the problem is that Blizzard's main energy is on computer games.

At the current level of computer hardware, it is difficult to support 3D games.

In contrast, game consoles optimized for games are much better.

In addition, Charlotte has also discussed the issue of movie and game linkage with people from EA, and people from EA are also very interested.

However, considering the production speed, EA estimates that it is difficult to complete the production of the game before the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is released.

Therefore, the linkage between the two cannot be very close.

This makes Charlotte a little regretful. At the same time, he also had the idea of ​​setting up an affiliated game studio by himself...

Especially, if the 3D models handed over to EA, especially the 3D models of Hogwarts, can really help him collect magic power——

You know, from when she met Joanna Rowling two years ago, Charlotte planned to use the digital version of Hogwarts to collect magic.

This is also an important reason why he will agree to cooperate with EA this time.

——What he wants is not only money, but also to help him enhance the magic power of spells.

Charlotte took the opportunity to test whether the game can collect magic power from players (audiences) like a movie.

If possible ~www.readwn.com~ Then Charlotte can make many games with the movies she shoots in the future.

After all, he mainly shoots movies with certain fantasy or horror elements, and these movies are very suitable for adaptation into games.

——In this case, it is naturally much more convenient to have a game studio of its own.

Not only can you enjoy more profits alone, the various design plans prepared during the preparation of the film are also completely open to the game studio for secondary use.

Especially some 3D models and special effects resources can be directly simplified and reused in the game.

This can naturally save a lot of cost, and the coordination between game production and movie shooting is easier-it's a family!

At that time, Charlotte was able to release the game with the time of the movie, and the effect of film and game linkage was naturally better.

What's more, having a game studio of your own is also more conducive for him to sell private goods.

——After all, collecting magic power with the help of games is his ultimate goal.

Therefore, some real magic circles may also be designed in the game.

In this case, it is also very important to have your own and obedient game studio.

However, all of this needs to be established on the premise that this experiment can be successful.

At present, all Charlotte can do is to wait for the EA side to see the final effect after the game is released.

*********

Of course, back to the United States, Charlotte did not only do these two things.

At least, he took the opportunity to take a break and stayed with Charlize for two days.

By the way, I also discussed the preparations for the film "The Mummy" with Sean Daniel, the second producer assigned to him by Universal Pictures—()
