Chatty Hollywood

? In short, things about the roles of Miss Tianxian and Qiu Zhang were done so easily.

After attending the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", Charlotte was about to leave, but was stopped by David Hyman again.

But this time, it has nothing to do with the "Harry Potter" series——

"Charlotte, after "Pirates of the Caribbean", are you preparing for a new movie again? Warner's cooperation with the Ghost Party Studios has always been very pleasant, you see..."

I didn't say the following words, but everyone is an industry insider, and the meaning is already obvious.

"Well..."

Charlotte pondered for a while--

For a long time, the films that Charlotte personally shot have been shot using the model of cooperative investment.

Among them, there are not only the Ghost Party Studio or his own money, but also the money of some companies in the circle-the most common of which is the investment of Judy Foster's "egg" company.

In addition, money from outside the circle is also not a minority.

After all, filmmakers use various methods, and the methods used by outsiders to get money are the same. Many of them really cannot be said to be illegal. As a master of fraud, Charlotte will naturally not use it.

However, unlike the greed of many Hollywood companies who want to make movies with outsiders' money, and then earn all of their own money, Charlotte knows enough to stop--

Although he will do the billing, he will still leave a portion of the profits to investors outside the circle, and will not do things too far.

This is for future investment considerations.

After all, although the investors outside the circle are trivial, they are not fools. If you overdo things, your reputation will be bad, and it will be troublesome to find investment in the future.

In this regard, the new line company that has previously pitted the old guns and their movie revenues can be said to be a full negative example.

Especially in this time and space, because Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings came to the Ghost Party studio under the bridge of Mr. Westwood, the operation of the new line is even more difficult.

*********

In addition to money from outsiders and small companies in the circle, the seven major Hollywood studios are also Charlotte's partners.

In particular, the movies that Charlotte has shot in recent years are all big productions, and it is still not safe without the support of big distributors.

In this regard, Charlotte does not have the ability to eat alone for the time being, and has no such plans.

Therefore, in his films, one of the seven major Hollywood movies is generally introduced-in fact, Paramount, Universal, Warner, and Disney have all worked with him.

Like the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, the partner is Disney, while the previous "Detective Sherlock Holmes" partner is Warner.

The publicity personnel of these two companies have made great contributions to these two films with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars.

However, Charlotte has just begun to prepare "Inception", but the publisher and collaborators have not yet been determined.

So, Charlotte heard what David Hyman said, but her heart moved...

*******

In contrast, David Hyman's mood is a little nervous.

This time he invited Charlotte to participate in the premiere. The problems mentioned above are all his own business, but in the end, it was the words of Warner's senior management who asked him to bring-

Although Charlotte has cooperated with several of the six major Hollywood companies, Warner has the most cooperation.

Whether it is "Sixth Sense", "Hell Detective" or "Detective Sherlock Holmes", they all brought a lot of profits to Warner.

Not to mention enough for them to eat the Harry Potter series for twenty years...

In short, Warner wanted to reach a deeper level of cooperation with Charlotte before, and it would be better if he could become Warner's queen director.

However, Disney used a "Pirates of the Caribbean" series to directly bring Charlotte to the past.

——You must know that a movie trilogy is enough to make a director unable to move for four to five years.

Fortunately, Charlotte’s filming speed is very fast, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy is concentrated in production, which saves time. Therefore, after learning that Charlotte is preparing a new film through various relationships, Warner’s people immediately Run and fly...

After all, Hollywood has good abilities. There are not many big directors who have been proven by many movies, let alone make money from each department. They have never failed.

This requires not only a strong ability and a perverted market sense, but also sufficient fortune.

——Take Ridley Scott for example!

This is also a well-known big director. Most of the movies he made are good on leave, but at the box office he always earns one and loses two, so he never crosses that hurdle.

No, the most recent "Black Hawk Down" has to be compensated just as soon as it looks...

In particular, the quality of this movie is actually good, but the influence of 911 is not so easy to get rid of.

In contrast, Charlotte, who has never failed at the box office, reassures the bosses of Hollywood studios a lot.

In fact, many producers have already called him the "god of the box office" in private. This is the title that Spielberg won at his peak!

*******

Of course, the "god of the box office" himself does not know his nickname.

After dealing with the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", he returned to his daily life-

During the day, supervise the post-production of the second and third parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean", slowly prepare "Inception", and handle various affairs of the Ghost Party studio;

In the evening, I went home to accompany my wife and daughter, practice spells by the way, and study some materials to prepare for the future.

It can be said that this period can be said to be the most comfortable time he has had after crossing.

It’s just that he doesn’t ask for trouble himself, but trouble will come to him—

"A director named James Huang wants to see you!"

Miss Valkyrie is still very competent as a secretary, she reported to Charlotte,

"He brought a script over—Mr. Westwood had already read it and thought it was a bit interesting, so he recommended James Huang to come to you~www.readwn.com~ to let you make a final judgement."

"Then let him in!"

Charlotte nodded.

Although the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy can only be regarded as a special case, it has been discovered that the Ghost Party Studio is actually investing in movies directed outside the studio.

However, because the projects in the studio already account for most of the working capital, they have always been very cautious in investing in external projects. They are not sure that they are very promising and suitable for studio projects. They will not invest easily.

And Charlotte is the last level of the review.

Therefore, Charlotte is not surprised that Mr. Westwood recommends projects he likes to him.

only--

"The name James Huang, I always feel like I've heard it somewhere..."

Charlotte muttered in her heart.
