Charlotte and Neil Gaiman have been in touch since they met at the Saturn Awards.

In the field of myths and legends of the countries concerned, the two have a lot in common.

Neil Gaiman even invited Charlotte to work with him on a book he was conceiving—

American Gods.

The story is very grandiose, involving countless myths and legends, as if it were a completely independent fantasy world.

Neil Gaiman felt that he couldn't perfectly conceive of the world on his own, so he wanted to pull Charlotte together.

Charlotte agreed.

Not only because the two have a good relationship, but also because he also discovered that the worldview of the story designed by Neil Gaiman is, in a way, actually somewhat similar to his spell theory.

- It's a bit of a feeling that magic comes from the human heart.

Charlotte felt that there might be room for him to maneuver.

However, he didn't expect that "American Gods" was only partially written, and Neil Gaiman committed suicide for no reason.

And the other party was still in the suicide note, asking Charlotte to let him continue to complete the book "American Gods".

- It's clearly not quite right.

If the suicide of Erin Warnos only made Charlotte a little worried, then Neil Gaiman's death really sounded the alarm in his heart.

"Speaking of which, the way Neil Gaiman committed suicide has something to do with you. ”

David on the side didn't know what Charlotte was thinking, he just continued,

"He sat on the floor of the bathroom and cut his carpal artery with broken glass — almost like Konstantin in your Detective Hell. ”

"Speaking of which, you were able to work with Warner on the movie "Hell's Detective" in the first place, thanks to Neil Gaiman's matchmaking ......"

David Heyman's later words, Charlotte was no longer listening carefully, because he captured a hidden key point -

Neil Gaiman's way of committing suicide is very similar to the way Konstantin committed suicide when he rescued the heroine Angela in the movie "Hell Detective".

Thinking about who Konstantin met after that, Charlotte felt that Neil Gaiman's death was even more intriguing......

In contrast, Alexis has had a relatively smooth last few days.

Although she was a little dissatisfied with the fact that Charlotte used her as a letter from time to time, Miss Valkyrie also knew where her strengths were, and she still conscientiously completed the work entrusted to her-

As soon as she returned to the United States, she immediately contacted Patty Jenkins to inform her that she had been selected as the director of the "Witch Devil" project, and asked her to start preparations immediately.

Patty Jenkins didn't doubt or refuse.

After all, although she received orders directly from Charlize most of the time, it was indeed someone from the Ghost Party Studio who came to her in the first place.

So, receiving an order from Spectre Studios is nothing strange for Patty Jenkins.

Especially the relationship between Charlotte and Charlize is also known to many people in Hollywood......

In short, Patty Jenkins' cooperation has made Alexis' work much better.

The two of them quickly circled the relevant staff and even the candidates for the supporting roles, and even the script, Patty Jenkins immediately came up with a version.

"I wrote it in advance, and I've already filed it with the Writers Guild. ”

The female director who had just taken office was a little embarrassed and said,

"I've been following up on Erin Warnos's case for several years, and I've been doing some other work in the meantime. ”

"I see!"

Alexis nodded.

According to this situation, she thinks that the project "The Devil" may be completed quickly, after all, Patty Jenkins and Charlize have prepared too many things in the past few years......

Of course, no matter how fast it is, the Oscars at the beginning of 1999 will not be able to catch up, after all, it looks like Christmas in 1998 is coming.

- In such a short period of time, let alone movies, even an episode of a TV series is difficult to finish.

"Charlize and Charlotte's goal should be to shoot and release it in 1999, and try to make a difference at the 2000 Oscars!"

Alexis pondered for a moment, and felt that there was a lot of hope......

However, no matter what the future holds, at least at the Oscars in early 1999, Charlotte may not be able to do much.

No way, who made him make the only movie he made and released in 1998 was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"?

Even though the film still continued the characteristics of Charlotte's box office explosion, and suppressed Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", once again making Charlotte the North American box office champion of the year, the judges of the Academy of Film Sciences and Arts have never changed their mentality of hating this kind of purely commercial blockbuster.

Especially last year, James Cameron also used an epic commercial blockbuster "Titanic" to make Oscar, who has always despised commercial films, kneel down and sing a conquest......

Now, with the rebellious mentality, the judges are sure to ignore most commercial blockbusters.

- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is no exception.

Of course, Charlotte did not expect to win the Oscar with the help of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

For him, apart from some magical purposes, this is just a movie purely for money.

And now he is working on "The Mummy" is the same.

Although she felt that the recent situation was a little strange, until the specific reason was clarified, Charlotte could only supervise the post-production of "The Mummy" unhurriedly.

After discussing with Universal, the schedule of "The Mummy" was set for May 1999.

- That's a lot of time for Charlotte.

So much so that while he took this opportunity to investigate the questions about the Lord of Hell and Jack the Ripper, he also prepared a draft script for "Sherlock Holmes".

"You really can't be idle!"

When he showed the draft script to the old gun, the other party couldn't help but sigh.

Come to think of it, starting from "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to the current "Mummy", the entire Ghost Party studio has been running at a high speed, and it has not had a good rest for a long time.

In this case, a member like Lao Gun, who is older and has a family, will naturally complain.

Charlotte understands this very well.

In fact, when he and Charlize were tired of being together some time ago, they wanted to leave their jobs completely, and from then on the king did not feel like he was in the early dynasty, let alone others?

It's a natural burnout that comes with not taking a vacation for a long time.

In this regard, Charlotte could only smile awkwardly,

"It's just a new plan, it's not too short before it starts, and until then, I'll give you a good rest! I'm showing you now, just to ask for your opinion. ”

"That's it!"

The old gun nodded,

"The story is very good, but when it comes to a classic character like Sherlock Holmes, the actor is not charismatic enough to deduct points, who are you going to let play?"

"Well...... this"
