As Charlotte expected, the 70th Academy Awards on March 23, 1998 was completely the world of "Titanic".

The big ship was invincible, taking 11 of the 14 nominations.

- These include the most important two items: Best Director and Best Actor.

As a director, Charlotte is not jealous of this.

Because, he is not here.

Charlotte's attention to Oscar is more about winning awards and practicing spells.

- Trophies are a tool he needs, not an end in itself.

He is not yet blind enough to confuse his ends and means.

Of course, to say that Charlotte has no idea about the best director's golden man at all is a lie.

At least, when she saw James Cameron holding the trophy high and shouting "I am the king of the world", Charlotte still felt a little "a husband should be like this" in her heart.

Although, apart from Charlize, who was sitting next to him at the time, holding his hand, no one else noticed this.

As for Charlize, he didn't get the little golden man of the actress as he wished this time.

Although this is also to be expected.

- Just like Charlotte didn't get the best actor either.

This year's actor and actress were all included in the "Perfect" crew.

Charlotte had nothing to say about this.

After all, as he analyzed before, "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is actually more suitable for the United States, where people's living standards have declined after the subprime mortgage crisis.

- You know, at that time, many Americans lost their jobs, and "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", which preached "it's a big deal", naturally became everyone's spiritual comfort.

- Even if everyone knows that life is not so pretty.

And in this era, the United States is still in the noon of empire, and everyone's appreciation of movies is more traditional.

At this point, "Perfection" has an advantage.

What's more, Jack Nicholson, who is famous for "The Shining" and "Flying Over the Asylum", and has always been known for his terrifying clown image, actually went to act in a romance movie, and he also acted "perfectly", which is really impossible to say.

"It can only be said that Jack Nicholson is also one of Oscar's favorite actors!"

Charlotte sighed in her heart.

In short, the main thing Charlotte did at this Oscar was actually soy sauce.

Even, because he was too bored, he tried to invite Charlize to the toilet to play some exciting games.

- It's a pity that the girl refused.

This made Charlotte a little regretful.

In contrast, the second thing he had to do when he returned to the United States was relatively smooth-

Seduced by his large number of 3D buildings and character models, Electronic Arts (EA) unsurprisingly fell to his knees and sang of conquest.

They agreed to Charlotte's request, not only paid the royalty happily, but even gave a high percentage of the share.

And considering that with these 3D models, they can really speed up the development of the game a lot, so they are actually not a loss.

And, unlike the 21st century, when computer and mobile games became more and more popular, these games were just being born in this era when the Internet was just beginning to become popular.

At this time, the main force in the game industry is still console games.

So, after EA buys the rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, it will also produce a console game.

In this game, they'll make the most of the various models they've acquired from the Ghost Party Studios to create a cinematic quality console game.

The name of this game is still "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

According to EA's plan, this game will integrate exploration, puzzle solving, RPG combat and other elements, and invest a lot of money to build.

Charlotte welcomed this.

Of course, Charlotte didn't think about it, and directly asked the famous Blizzard to make the game of the same name, but the problem is that Blizzard's main focus is on computer games.

At the current level of computer hardware, it is difficult to support 3D games.

In contrast, consoles that are optimized for gaming are much better.

In addition, Charlotte also discussed the issue of movie game linkage with people on the EA side, which EA people are also interested in.

However, considering the speed of production, EA estimates that it will be difficult to complete the production of the game before the release of the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" movie.

Therefore, the linkage between the two cannot be done very closely.

This made Charlotte a little regretful. At the same time, he also had the idea of starting an affiliated game studio himself......

Especially, if the 3D models given to EA, especially the 3D models of Hogwarts, can really help him collect magic-

You know, since she first met Joanna Rowling two years ago, Charlotte had planned to use the digital version of Hogwarts to collect magic.

That's a big reason why he agreed to work with EA this time.

- What he wants is not only money, but also to help him increase the magic of his spells.

Charlotte took the opportunity to experiment with whether the game could collect magic from the player (the audience) like a movie.

If it works, Charlotte can make a lot of games in the future to match the movies she made.

After all, he mainly shoots movies with certain fantasy or horror elements, which are very suitable for game adaptations.

- In this case, it is naturally much more convenient to have its own game studio.

Not only can you enjoy more profits, but the various design solutions prepared during the preparation of the film are also completely open to the game studio for secondary use.

In particular, some 3D models and special effects resources can be directly simplified and reused in the game.

This naturally leads to a lot of cost savings, and it's easier to work together between game production and filmmaking – it's a family!

At that time, Charlotte could have pinched the time of the movie release to release the game, and the effect of the movie and game linkage was naturally better.

What's more, having a game studio of his own is also more conducive to him stuffing private goods.

- After all, collecting magic through games is his ultimate goal.

Therefore, the game may also have to design some real magic circles.

In this case, it is important to have your own obedient game studio.

However, all of this needs to be based on the premise that this experiment can be successful.

At the moment, all Charlotte can do is wait for the release of the game on the EA side and see how it will turn out.

Of course, back in the United States, Charlotte is not the only one to do.

At the very least, he also took the opportunity to rest and accompanied Charlize for two days.

By the way, he also discussed the preparations for the "Mummy" movie with Sean Daniel, the second producer sent to him by Universal Pictures.
