Chapter 346: Adapting the Script

In the end, Charlotte studied it for a long time, and finally decided to keep the setting of the teenage version of Chass in the original "Hell Detective".

On the one hand, it is because according to the plot setting of the original "Hell Detective", there are too few characters to tease.

As a time-traveler, Charlotte, who has experienced the baptism of superhero movies for the next twenty years, knows that it is not okay for superhero movies to be blindly heavy.

You must know that even the oldest version of "Spider-Man" has always advocated that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", and from time to time it will sell miserably, but there are many easy plots.

At the very least, Tobey Maguire, as the protagonist, has to be funny from time to time.

And in the movies of the Marvel Universe, there is more of a funny side of superheroes.

It can be said that the Avengers are simply the "teasing alliance", except for Captain America and Black Widow, who are responsible for selling their bodies, the other heroes only have the difference between teasing and being more funny.

The film market in the 21st century for nearly 20 years has fully made Charlotte realize that superhero movies are blindly heavy and self-defeating.

The audience needs to be teased.

And "Hell Detective" is adapted from "Constantine", which is essentially a superhero movie, and the demand for this aspect is naturally indispensable.

Charlotte is now ready to hand over this job to the role of Chas.

In this case, it is naturally more appropriate to position the role as a teenager than as an adult.

In fact, Chas, played by the original Shia LaBeouf, also has such a role positioning.

It's just that Shia LaBeouf's own personal temperament of being both good and evil, slightly crazy, weakens the level of comedy to a certain extent.

In addition, the script itself does not give much room for this role to play......

And now, Charlotte has decided to increase the role of this character.

- At least in terms of being funny.

Moreover, Charlotte knew the actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

You know, in the future, this one will get the nickname "Embarrassing Husband".

Although this young man is actually good-looking, his natural face shape like the word "embarrassment" always gives people a very happy feeling.

Charlotte felt that it would be very appropriate for him, who is currently underage, to play the role of a tease in "Hell Detective".

Even if the current "embarrassing husband" face characteristics as a teenager are not so obvious, Charlotte, as a director, can deliberately let him strengthen in one direction......

This is arguably the main reason why Charlotte kept the teenage version of Chas.

On the other hand, in Charlotte's opinion, there is actually nothing wrong with the storyline of the original "Hell Detective".

The reason for the average results is to a greater extent due to the director's poor narrative level and the overall rhythm control.

- This is an issue that Charlotte feels she can solve by adjusting the narrative structure of the script.

As for the actor's acting skills, Keanu Reeves did not show the evil spirit of the comic version of Konstantin at all......

This is indeed a problem.

Although Reeves' version of Konstantin is also handsome, it is too far from the comic image, and it will eventually lose the support of many fans of the original book.

You must know that as a comic movie, these people are actually the basic plate of the movie box office.

Charlotte felt that although he had to use Keanu Reeves because of the "first embrace" curse, he was not ready to follow the original "Hell Detective" again.

On the premise of ensuring the recognizability of Keanu Reeves's handsome face, he tried his best to make the vicissitudes of this handsome guy who looked against the sky.

This is closer to the image of Konstantin in the comic version!

In fact, Keanu Reeves's later works are not without similar images.

For example, in "Fast Pursuit", he adopted the vicissitudes of life with a scruffy beard......

Charlotte doesn't think it will be very difficult to solve this problem.

In addition to Keanu Reeves, the other actors, he has a big change compared to the original version.

Thinking about Jodie Foster and Al Pacino, Charlotte doesn't think that there will be any problems with the actors' acting skills in this version of "Hell Detective".

In terms of special effects technology and post-production, he also has his own exclusive spell effects to use......

Anyway, Charlotte is still very confident in how to adapt the originally not very successful "Hell Detective" into a successful work.

As he completed the second version of the script and made a simple version of the demo animation using the human skin book he had previously obtained from the evil god, this confidence was passed on to the others.

"It's a good feeling now!"

Aziva Gosman didn't know how Charlotte Booth's Ghost Party Studios had prepared the storytelling animation so quickly, but he did feel good about watching the animation.

As a screenwriter at Warner Bros. Pictures, Gosman's current qualifications are actually not deep.

He has only worked on a few films so far, and was once part of the writing crew of "Batman Forever," which was released last year.

However, the box office performance of "Batman Forever" is actually not ideal, which makes Aziva Gosman's future within Warner not particularly bright.

Even, he was able to be sent to follow up on the project "Hell Detective", thanks to the element of luck.

Originally, the person who followed up on this project on the Warner side should have been Barry Mendel, who had previously worked with Charlotte Booth on "The Sixth Sense".

However, before "Hell Detective", Mendel went on to produce another project, which made him unskilled.

As a result, this power was relatively small, and more of a coordination work, fell to the shoulders of Aziwa Gosman out of thin air.

In fact, if it weren't for Charlotte's 100% success rate, Warners would not have much confidence in the project "Hell's Detective".

No way, who made Warner's own big money at the box office of "Batman Forever" look like that?

Although there are too many uncertainties about the success or failure of a movie, from the perspective of the production company's top management, these are not considered.

Warners and DC's bigwigs will simply think that since even a superstar like Bruce Wayne can't call the wind and rain, what can little Konstantin do?

To a certain extent, this is also the reason why Warner will happily allow Charlotte to adapt the comic "Constantine" into the movie "Detective Hell"-

They actually wanted Charlotte to go and give them a way to find their way and go to thunder.

After all, Charlotte's credibility accumulated through the previous four movies still makes them feel that this guy's ability can be trusted.

For this, they even paid a small part of the film rights.

- Think of it as the price of experimentation!

It should be said that although the high-level brains of Warner are often in water, once they make up their minds, they are still very generous in throwing money at it.

- Even if it's a pathfinder film.

This is probably the glory of local tyrants!
