Chatty Hollywood

? "So, James, do you hope the Ghost Party Studios can invest in your movie?"

After reading the script, Charlotte looked up at the plump yellow-skinned man on the opposite side.

"Yes."

The other's face was obviously a little nervous.

"You have looked for several companies like Xinxian and Lionsgate before? None of them promised you!?"

"this……"

James Huang's face turned red, and finally he explained,

"There are still many people who are more optimistic about my movies, but because my creativity is fresher, so..."

"For most Hollywood companies, innovation means danger!"

Charlotte nodded.

"Of course, failing to innovate to eat your own money also means chronic death, but most people don't care about this-because large and medium-sized companies have enough capital to wait for the innovative people to finish the landmines, and then follow up in time."

"this……"

Charlotte said so bluntly, but James Huang did not know what to say.

Fortunately, Charlotte didn't want James Wong to answer—he would say that, firstly to deceive the other party, but also because he thought it was weird.

Because James Wong’s script is very similar to a movie called "Reaper Is Coming" that Charlotte had seen in the original time and space.

But according to Charlotte’s memory, this "Reaper Is Coming" should have been released in 2000. Why is this James Huang now looking for his own investment?

Charlotte recalled carefully again, and found that in the world here, I had never heard of the movie "Reaper Is Coming"...

"Does the butterfly effect caused by my appearance not only make certain movies or events advance, but also cause other movies to be delayed?"

Charlotte wondered.

He didn't know that, to some extent, the postponement or dystocia of "Death is Coming" was indeed related to him——

You know, because of Charlotte's appearance, since 1994, the production of Hollywood movies has been higher than that of his original time and space.

Of course, in terms of pure numbers, there may not be much increase, mainly because of the few movies made by Charlotte that did not originally belong to this era.

However, from the beginning of "Dale of the Dead", none of Charlotte's films has a small investment—

His big production every year is enough to squeeze out a lot of investment in the original low-cost movies.

After all, there is only so much money that can be circulated in Hollywood. Even if Charlotte’s success has driven more capital investment in Hollywood, it is the nature of capital to chase the rise and fall.

Compared with Charlotte's original time and space, the extra investment that poured into Hollywood was basically swallowed up by Charlotte's Ghost Party Studio and Hollywood Seven.

Even, based on the head effect, they also absorbed some additional investment that was originally a small-cost movie.

This has led to the fact that Hollywood’s blockbuster boom era has advanced slightly, but the living conditions of low-cost movies have worsened.

James Huang’s "The God of Death is Coming" is precisely the victim of this effect——

Indeed, according to Charlotte's original time and space trend, this film should be released by New Line in 2000.

But in this time and space, the new line does not have this ability.

First of all, because the old guns were almost pitted by the new line, the relationship between the ghost party studio and the new line is not good.

After the rise of the Ghost Party Studios, even many of their partners were relatively indifferent to the new line.

——This directly reduces the amount of investment for the new line, and the number of films that can be produced and distributed each year has also been reduced.

Secondly, this is also the impact of Mr. Westwood’s hopping from the new line-

The producer who often carries heart disease drugs is not a high-level figure in the new line, but he is also a senior veteran.

His job-hopping not only caused the movie "Lord of the Rings" that almost made the rise of the new line miss the new line, but also led to the resignation of many middle and low-level employees.

In this regard, the new line naturally tried to prevent it, but unlike the executives who are generally restricted by various agreements and must carefully study job-hopping, middle and low-level employees are generally free to come and go.

——They are being fired as good, whether they are fired at the boss, it is just a sentence.

However, this kind of middle and low level, especially the middle level, is the core and foundation of a company's true business capabilities.

Their instability under the leadership of Mr. Westwood directly led to a significant decline in the business level of the new line in the past three years, difficult operations, and a lot less investment in good movies.

And James Huang's "Reaper Is Coming" is one of those missing.

——Who makes James Huang Ren as his name, a yellow race, or a Chinese descent?

In the United States, Chinese Americans are more likely to be discriminated against than blacks.

As far as work is concerned, if several applicants have the same ability, the chance of obtaining a job is 80% of the Chinese people is the smallest.

Based on the Chinese tradition of attaching importance to education, many Chinese people, especially the second-generation education level, are generally good, so that they can mix well in the United States.

But in a film industry, where success cannot often rely on science and academic qualifications, and a lot of luck, the education level of the Chinese is not very helpful.

Especially when the film director was preparing for the first work, because there is no previous performance support, that really should be the sentence-

Say you can do it, you can do it, you can do it if you don’t;

Say no, no, no, no.

——Anyway, because of these factors outside of abilities, James Huang's movie "Death Is Coming", which was supposed to be released in 2000, is still just a script.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that James Huang hasn’t done anything in the past two years.

In fact, he became a film director.

——Although the script of "Reaper Is Coming" was rejected, it may be that his previous qualifications as a TV drama director moved some people.

——Of course, it is more likely that someone took him to thunder.

In short, he became the director of "Dragon Ball" in early 2000.

That's right, that's the one who can summon the Shenlong after collecting seven of them!

Ordinarily, this is considered a big IP, but a pity ~www.readwn.com~ Investor Fox’s purpose in shooting this movie is not to make money——

You should know that according to Hollywood rules, the copyright of the purchased comics often has an expiration date.

After the expiration date, the copyright will automatically return to the original author if it has not been adapted into a film and television work.

And Fox and the author of "Dragon Ball" Akira Toriyama also signed a similar agreement, and the time was not long.

Now, in order to continue to retain the copyright, Fox must shoot a "Dragon Ball", just like the poorly crafted "Fantastic Four" in the 2015 version.

In this case, the investment level of the film and the seriousness of the producer can naturally be imagined.

It’s just a pity that James Huang, who doesn’t know the inside story, was very excited when he received this job and worked hard when shooting, but after all, not every brave teenager can create miracles——

Anyway, "Dragon Ball" failed as expected by Fox, and James Huang, who was pulled to top the thunder, became a scapegoat. For a while, no film company was willing to ask him to direct a movie...
