Chatty Hollywood

Of course, no matter how many weird and double-fired plans Charlotte has, the first thing he wants to go through tonight is Charlize's beauty pass.

—Because she was moved by Charlotte's contribution for her daughter, the South African girl exploded with rare enthusiasm.

As a result, Charlotte was not only late for the meeting of the Ghost Party Studio the next day, but also wore very dark circles under her eyes.

"Take care of your body!"

The old gun patted Charlotte on the shoulder, as if I knew it.

"..."

In fact, Charlotte did not refute anything.

However, in order to avoid being ridiculed by his friends again, he opened the door straight to the point—

"Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the script of my next movie."

"Finally there is a script for the next movie!?"

The old gun looked like "You are finally here", and the photographer Edison Yang on the side also nodded.

"Yeah, in your habit, I thought you would come up with a new script within a week of the release of "Detective Sherlock Holmes"! I didn't expect it to be delayed until now..."

"...So, you guys think that my script came out late, do you feel uncomfortable at your leisure?"

Charlotte was incredible.

-He had heard these two complaints more than once before, saying that his filming speed is too fast and the frequency is too high, so that the old guys don't have time to rest.

And now, listening to this, it seems that he is too slow again! ?

"Of course it's not idle!"

The old gun hurried to clarify,

"It's just that, getting used to your frequency of one movie a year, and now the pace has suddenly slowed down, we are a bit uncomfortable."

"...It's not too slow, right?"

"Yes!"

The old gun nodded, glanced at Addison Young, with a wry smile on his face.

"So it can only be said that we have become a habit of abuse..."

"..."

Charlotte was speechless for the sudden and miserable sale of the old gun.

"Let’s take a look at the script outline first!"

In the end, Charlotte could only say that.

—The outline of the script was driven out last night by him.

Although "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not a complicated story, it is difficult to complete the entire script within a few days.

Even the draft.

—After all, this is a movie script that needs to be refined and revised, not a network that is not going to be cleaned up.

However, it is not a problem to complete a basic outline that includes time, place, characters and events.

This is exactly what Charlotte shows to Old Gun and Addison Young.

As Charlotte's part-time secretary and head of the special effects technology department, Alexis also attended the meeting.

But for some reason, Miss Valkyrie hasn't spoken for a long time, even when she read the outline of Charlotte's script, she looked absent-minded.

"What's happening here!?"

Charlotte was puzzled, but didn't say anything.

On the other hand, Lao Qiang and Addison Yang didn't pay attention to this. After the two quickly read the script, Lao Qiang spoke first.

"Pirate story with fantasy elements, Charlotte, you are really a guy who likes to choose strange subjects."

"You don't need to remind me of this."

Charlotte shrugged.

"What's the key question? Do you think there is a play?"

"Well..."

The old gun groaned, and Addison Yang on one side said,

"The story still sounds very interesting, but in the past ten years, since Spielberg's 1991 "Captain Hook" to be precise, pirate-related movies have not been very popular in the market. Go against the market, okay? You know, "Captain Hook" also has fantasy elements."

"Peter Pan as an adult, played by Robin Williams, right?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Charlotte knew about the movie, Addison Young said straightforwardly,

"Captain Hook" invested 70 million US dollars, directed by Steven Spielberg, and has a strong cast of Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, and Julia Roberts. , But its global box office totaled more than 300 million U.S. dollars—it’s worth paying back."

"So you're worried that I'm going to be like Spielberg, right?"

Charlotte understood what Addison Young meant, and the latter nodded without hiding.

"At present, our Ghost Party studio is at a time of substantial expansion. At this moment, your unbeaten box office golden body must not be broken. I think instead of taking the risk of choosing a pirate theme that is not popular in the market, it is better to give it to " It’s safer to shoot a sequel to Sherlock Holmes, Hell Detective, or The Mummy."

"That makes sense."

Charlotte nodded and looked at the old gun again.

"So, Old Gun, do you mean that too?"

"Not really."

The old gun shook his head.

"I think it's a bit risky to make a pirate-themed movie, but I don't think the options mentioned by Addison are any good choices."

"why!?"

Addison Yang was stunned for a moment, but Old Gun explained,

"First of all, the copyrights of "The Mummy" and "Detective of Hell" are not in our studio's hands. Although the sequel to these two films is relatively safe, there is a lot of coordination work, after all, it is a cooperation!"

"Moreover, because the copyright is not in our hands, even if Charlotte shoots these two sequels, the benefits we can get are limited. From this perspective, although the sequels of these two films are relatively safe, they are cost-effective. Not too high."

"As for the sequel of "The Detective Sherlock Holmes", to be honest, if the North American box office of this movie is only more than 300 million, I would like to shoot the sequel immediately-but more than 500 million US dollars..."

"Why is there still a problem with the box office?"

Addison Young muttered, while Charlotte on one side understood the meaning of the old gun.

"You want to make "Sherlock Holmes" the core product of our Ghost Party Studio!?"

"Yes."

The old gun nodded.

"500 million in North America, 1 billion in the world, if we can maintain or exceed this level for the sequel of "Detective Sherlock Holmes", then this can definitely become another "Star Wars" series-with a product like "Star Wars" in our hands. What's the matter, I shouldn't need to explain it specifically, right?"

"This is natural!"

Both Charlotte and Addison Young nodded.

Indeed, holding a movie like "Star Wars" in the end, what kind of life peak will it go to, just look at the life of George Lucas.

—In Hollywood, how many commercial film directors do not envy George Lucas?

"And to make the sequel of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" like the second "Star Wars" "The Empire Strikes Back", that craftsmanship is indispensable."

Old Gun concluded,

"In this way, the effect of continuous shooting is not good. Moreover, a delay of one or two years will also help raise the expectations of the audience."

"Moreover, for the next more than a year, I need to independently direct "Small Island Cry". If Charlotte shoots the sequel of "Sherlock Holmes" at this time, it will be fine for me!"

Old Gun poked in his heart secretly. (https:)
