Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 681: Avoid (lengthen)

   In short, after a "nice" Christmas, the filming of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew in Dominica was quickly completed.

After   , most of the shootings were in studios in the United States.

   At this stage, all kinds of accidents and troubles are much less.

   Charlotte led the crew to continue shooting the second and third shots while overseeing the post-production of the first part.

  ——Because they are all near Los Angeles, they are relatively less busy.

   During this period, the filming of Old Gun and Alexis’s "Small Island" was finally completed.

   In addition, Peter Jackson has already filmed the first full shot of "Lord of the Rings"-for a time, there are three films in the Ghost Party studio at the same time in the late production stage.

   And this does not include the work of the TV series and the animation department that has been producing the animated version of the Harry Potter series.

   It can be said that after entering 2001, the entire Ghost Party studio was at full capacity.

   Even though the studio has been hiring more people for more than a year, it is still a little too busy.

   is the filming department that has been busy before, and the work intensity is not bad at this time.

Therefore, after Charlotte released the mission of remake of the US version of "Midnight Bell", the old gun easily took it, and did not make Charlotte go to the original director Gore Wibinski... …

  **********

   "...In other words, our studio will release at least three movies in 2001!?"

   In the routine work meeting, the old guns listed one by one,

   ""Small Island", "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" and "Lord of the Rings 1"!?"

"Yes."

  Charlotte nodded,

   "Among them, the post-production of "Kojima Cry" is the simplest, and the degree of completion is the highest. It should be released after this year's Academy Awards, right?"

   Charlotte looked at the old gun, who nodded.

"I will step up post-production to make it complete as soon as possible. After the Oscars and before the summer vacation, there will be a window period in the North American film market. Although this period is not suitable for commercial blockbusters, it is costly for "Small Island". For not-so-high horror films, this schedule is actually pretty good."

   "That's right!"

   Charlotte also agrees with the old gun’s view,

"As for "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", this is a major production that we cooperated with Disney. It must and can only be released in the summer file. My preliminary estimate is June. The specifics will be discussed with the people at Disney. And "The Lord of the Rings 1." "——"

   Peter Jackson, who came to attend the internal meeting of the Ghost Party Studio for the first time, shook his head.

   "The post-production of "Lord of the Rings 1" is relatively difficult. Even if the studio strengthens the strength of the post-production team, it is estimated that all the work will have to wait until August. I am afraid that it will have to wait until September."

   "Then just postpone it a little bit, make it more elaborate, and postpone it to the Christmas time."

   Charlotte thought for a while, and then expressed her opinion.

   This is what surprised Peter Jackson—

   "Even if the production time is relatively long, there is no need to postpone it to the Christmas stall!?"

   the chubby New Zealand director asked.

   "Well..."

   Charlotte pondered for a while, but didn't tell her true thoughts.

   After all, 9/11 or something, let alone launching the big prophecy in advance, even after the incident, many people couldn't believe it.

  ——In the original time and space, when Charlotte heard the news, she thought it was a movie made in Hollywood!

  ——Who made Hollywood "destroy the world" more than once!

  -you know, he was on the other side of the Pacific at that time. There are many people who look forward to the unlucky Americans.

   But even so, many people didn’t believe it for a while...

   Anyway, Charlotte doesn't think that among the people present today, anyone besides him, a traverser, would believe it.

   But in fact, it is necessary to avoid 911 on schedule.

   After all, at that time, there are really not many people who can still go to the movies.

  ——The three months before and after September 2001, for all Hollywood movies, can be said to be a dead time.

   So, Charlotte can only change one reason——

   "The "Lord of the Rings" series is still different from ordinary summer movies-a masterpiece adaptation, suitable for careful taste or something. Regardless of its scenes and production costs, this is more like a Christmas time movie."

   "Are you saying that besides making money, we also want to hit an Oscar?"

   Peter Jackson asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

   Charlotte nodded.

"If you shoot at a sufficient level, the "Lord of the Rings" series may be the closest to the Oscar in the fantasy epic film-after all, Tol King’s original works are very influential, and Oscar has always liked the United Kingdom. An adaptation of literature."

   "It is quite possible to hear what you say."

   Peter Jackson also got excited,

   "That's why you hope that "Lord of the Rings 1" can slow down the production speed and make it more refined, so that it can be more suitable for the Oscar Christmas schedule!?"

"Yes."

   Charlotte smiled.

"Peter, if you don’t believe me, just take a look at my "Detective Sherlock Holmes"-Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Photography, Best Editing, Best Director, Best Film, best costume design, best art direction, best sound effects, best visual effects-a total of 11 nominations, is it enough to explain the problem?"

   "That's not just because your movie has the titles of Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle!"

   Peter Jackson exclaimed sincerely,

   "Charlotte, you really did a great job in "Detective Sherlock Holmes"! And Oscar can't ignore a super movie with a global box office of more than one billion dollars."

   "Hope!"

  Charlotte nodded.

  ********

   As Peter Jackson said, in the nomination battle for the 73rd Oscar in 2001, "Detective Sherlock Holmes" can indeed be said to have won a big victory——

   not only won 11 nominations, but also included heavyweight nominations such as best actor, best director, and best picture.

   Among these, although Robert Downey Jr. was not nominated for the best actor for the first time, it was after he was infamous for taking drugs and going to jail, and he made a comeback again.

   Normally, it is difficult for him to defeat Russell Crowe, who was nominated for an epic blockbuster like "Gladiator."

  —Although the latter is a total scumbag in his emotional life, in Hollywood, where there are countless scumbags, this is really not a shortcoming.

   In contrast, Nicole Kidman's best supporting actress is a bit tricky.

   After all, Irene Adler is the most important female character in "Detective Sherlock Holmes", saying that she is a supporting actress or something...

  ——Of course, this is a Sherlock Holmes movie. Except for Holmes and Watson, other characters can be said to be supporting roles, but after all...

   Anyway, the Hollywood girl star is very contemptuous of Nicole Kidman's operation.

However, will you learn later? That's another thing~www.readwn.com~ Who made Julia Roberts this year, after waiting for several years, finally launched a strong force to Oscar with the movie "Never Compromise" Impact?

  ——In the face of the current Hollywood No. 1 female star, most people dare not put her right!

  ——It happens that Oscar’s restrictions on female protagonists and female partners are not too strict, leaving Ms. Kidman to have some time...

   In short, Charlotte has nothing to do with the two nominations for Best Male Lead and Best Female Lead.

   can only let Robert Downey Jr. and Nicole Kidman play by himself.

   For the rest of the awards, Charlotte still has some confidence.

After all, the main opponent of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" this year is "Gladiator". Although this movie is also very powerful, it is not a metamorphosis like "Titanic", nor is it the kind of "American Beauty" that fully meets the Oscar judges. The "art film" of taste...

   "Maybe this year I can really hit an Oscar!"

   Charlotte's heart is also about to move.

   However, before that, he still needs to deal with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" matter first-

   In the end, this movie is a collaboration project with Disney, and he can’t fully talk about it...
