Chatty Hollywood

After confirming with Mr. Westwood, the shooting of the first two episodes of "Death Note" soon began.

This is because the preparation of American dramas is indeed much simpler than that of movies.

On the other hand, it was actually because the Ghost Party studio had already prepared on a small scale before Mr. Westwood was in place.

Therefore, after Mr. Westwood boarded the ship, the crew quickly decided on the two male protagonists——

Paul Wesley.

Ian Somerhalder.

Taking into account the age setting of the characters in the story, the age of the actors of the two male protagonists are relatively young.

However, the combination of these two people makes Charlotte want to laugh a little--

Isn't this the El Salvador brothers in the future "Vampire Diaries"?

If you add a Nina Dobrev, you can shoot a classic American love triangle.

However, considering that Nina Dobrev may be just a little Lolita at this time, Charlotte's evil tastes will not be realized after all.

However, using these two actors to shoot "Death Note" is also pretty good.

At least, the looks of the two are pretty good, and they are both sunny and gloomy.

As for acting skills--

"Still within the scope of training!"

After filming the first two episodes, Charlotte made a judgment.

In this regard, Mr. Westwood also agreed. In contrast, he was more interested in the **** of death Luke created with motion capture technology during shooting.

After all, the application of computer special effects technology by the Ghost Party Studios can be regarded as a must in Hollywood.

In particular, Mr. Westwood is also preparing to introduce another project that may use a lot of computer special effects and motion capture technology to Charlotte——

"What!? You said to adapt Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings"!?"

Charlotte is naturally not unaware of the project mentioned by Mr. Westwood.

——The famous "Lord of the Rings" trilogy for later generations!

Charlotte knew that the movie was now investing in investment, but he did not expect that Mr. Westwood would mention this movie—

"Didn't the new line have reached a cooperation agreement with that Peter Jackson?"

Charlotte asked.

"In fact, it was not completely achieved!"

Mr. Westwood explained,

"Although the new line, under the coordination of Miramax, agreed to invest in a film adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", the current plan is to film it as a whole - and Peter Jackson prefers to film it in the form of a trilogy. The two sides are still negotiating on this point."

"I see!"

Charlotte nodded.

"So, Tony, don't you want to bring this project to our studio?"

"If you wish."

"Hope is naturally hope, but—"

Charlotte frowned.

"At present, my film "The Detective Sherlock Holmes" is about to complete preparations, and shooting will start soon. In addition to your TV series and some other businesses, the studio's funds may not be sufficient to open another big project. !"

——For the film history classics like "Lord of the Rings", the famous gold machine, Charlotte naturally wants to get it.

But as Mr. Westwood said, the funds for the Ghost Party Studio are not so abundant—

After a series of self-produced movies box office explosion, although Charlotte has accumulated hundreds of millions of net worth, but not all invested in the Ghost Party studio.

Owning IMAX company has consumed a lot of his working capital, and some of the funds were invested by him in stocks that have great potential for appreciation in the future-such as Apple, Netflix and others;

Moreover, because of the cooperation with Warner Pictures, he still holds a portion of Warner's stock, which naturally cannot be sold.

At the same time, Charlotte herself bought a piece of land on Santa Monica Beach, preparing to build a luxurious villa for herself.

Although he didn't intend to make the villa as exaggerated as the Cape Villa of Iron Man, building a villa that was not small would eventually cost a lot of money.

As for the Ghost Party Studio, after the recent corporatization, the business has also increased.

The production cost of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" certainly occupies the bulk of the company's liquidity, but there are actually a lot of other costs——

Daily consumption, such as personnel salaries, etc., let alone, now that the game "Fantastic Quidditch" has been put on the market, it also needs some promotion and maintenance costs.

What's more, the game department of the studio, under the leadership of Stern, is preparing the game of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" together.

Although the main part of the game development cost is the developer's salary, there will still be additional investment when some outsourcing business is involved.

In addition, the TV series plan of "Death Note" and the "Harry Potter" series in cooperation with Warner Pictures...

In short, with the expansion, Charlotte's career territory has grown substantially, but correspondingly, his funds are not as abundant as before.

At least, it is impossible to invest in a large film project alone.

In this regard, Mr. Westwood had also expected it.

He smiled and said,

"Charlotte, in fact, you can use other people's money to make your own movies! Aren't most Hollywood movies made like this!-It is made entirely on one's own funds, and the benefits of success are huge, but the risks are The cost pressure is also great!"

"You are right!"

Charlotte nodded.

Before "Detective of Hell", most of the movies made by Charlotte were also in this form of numerous investors.

But when it came time to shoot "Detective of Hell" ~www.readwn.com~ As Charlotte's wealth increased, he gradually didn't need so much external investment.

This is especially evident in the production of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

It is "The Mummy", because it is a cooperative project with Universal, but Universal Pictures' investment accounted for the bulk.

As for the current "Detective Sherlock Holmes", Charlotte originally wanted to rely solely on the Ghost Party studio to invest in it, but now it seems that if you want to win the "Lord of the Rings" series at the same time, I am afraid that you still have to accept some external sources. Invest funds.

Of course, Charlotte does not reject this.

He doesn't have to eat alone.

And investing in one movie to get all the profits, or investing in two movies, each with a portion of the profits, there is no question of which one is definitely better.

However, if you want to start the "Lord of the Rings" project as soon as possible, Charlotte must vacate part of the current post-production costs of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" and then reinvest.

Will this affect the production progress of "Sherlock Holmes"?

You know, now the casting of this movie has all been completed——

After Nicole Kidman considered it, he finally felt that it was important to have a chance to hold the thigh of a well-known director.

——Especially after she has determined that she will divorce Tom Cruise.

She agreed to play Irene Adler's invitation, and after auditioning, Charlotte also felt that she was really suitable for this role.

In addition, the old gun has also completed the construction of the studio in the UK.

At present, the preparations for "Detective Sherlock Holmes" can be said that everything is ready, only the filming is due.

Will there be a problem with the transfer of funds at this time?
