Chapter 654 - I Hate and Like It

It is said that when Charlotte Booth agreed to work with Disney on the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", he proposed a grand plan for a three-part series and wanted to convince Disney to agree to the investment. ”

Mr. Agent said in a reminiscent tone,

Although Disney has great confidence in director Charlotte, such a grand investment plan still worries everyone, including President Michael Eisner, so they have not agreed to this plan for the time being. ”

"It's a normal thing!"

Jenny nodded,

"Not to mention Disney's investors, even I, a person who has nothing to do with myself, don't dare to believe such a thing as a trilogy filming. It's director Charlotte, he wants to do this, it's so bold!"

"It's normal for him to be bold!"

Mr. Broker said in a deep voice,

"Successive successes give people a lot of confidence. And Charlotte Booth has made nine films in seven years since "Fatal Bend", and all of them have been successful, and it's normal for him to be so confident now - I'm even more curious about how Disney has changed his mind now after obviously rejecting his suggestion?"

- Halfway through the filming of the first film, I began to prepare to negotiate with the actors for the next two sequels. Obviously, if Disney hadn't changed its mind and was still ready to watch it after filming, it wouldn't have done this kind of thing that would increase investment risks.

In this regard, even if Mr. Agent does not say it, the smart Jenny can see it.

However, unlike Mr. Agent, who is outside the crew and doesn't know much about the filming process, Jenny, who has been filming with the crew, thought of a possibility-

"Could it be that Disney's top management has already seen director Charlotte's current sample films, as well as his adjusted script and shooting plan, and their confidence in his trilogy plan has been further strengthened?"

- Jenny has experienced this situation firsthand.

Although when I first joined the group, I was very uncomfortable with the strange rules promulgated by Mr. Director.

But by now, Jenny has gotten used to putting a tray of shallow fresh milk in front of the window every night before going to bed.

- Even when you wake up in the morning, you will be surprised to see the fresh milk disappear once in a while. But considering that there are not a few stray dogs and cats in Los Angeles, this doesn't seem like a big deal.

The point is that as the filming progressed, Jenny was completely impressed by the talent and various whims of Mr. Director.

She is now increasingly convinced that Pirates of the Caribbean will be a very successful film, and that she was right to be involved in the filming.

Actually, it's not just Jenny's idea.

The entire crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is currently in a stage where morale and confidence continue to grow.

- without him, simply because they see the hope of success.

Although the footage shot on the set is disorganized and unedited and produced, those who are a little knowledgeable can still see that under the direction of director Charlotte, the actors' performances are getting better and better.

And a lot of clips, even if they are not integrated into the plot of the movie, are very interesting to watch independently.

This situation is visible to everyone in the crew.

- Of course, there are not a few successful movies that are not liked by the members of the shooting crew, but obviously, when all the members of the shooting crew like it, the success rate of the film is much higher.

In this case, everyone's confidence in success will naturally be stronger.

- And Disney's top management, will it be the same!?

- Especially since they can see the dailies that Mr. Director has carefully edited!?

"If it were any other director, I would definitely say how could this be—"

Mr. Agent smiled wryly and shook his head,

"But the problem is, Charlotte Booth has obviously exceeded my expectations so much that I can't deny that possibility—or rather, it's the only possibility. ”

"And after all the impossibilities have been removed—"

"—The rest of the results, no matter how unbelievable, are the truth!"

Mr. Agent knew that Jenny was mentioning a Sherlock Holmes quote, so he took it as a matter of course.

He really couldn't deny it.

However, remembering that Charlotte had also directed "Sherlock Holmes" before, Mr. Agent's mood was even worse -

"It's a real headache to work with this kind of director who is very capable, too strong, and often doesn't play according to common sense. ”

He couldn't help but press his temple,

"I hate Charlotte Booth!"

“......”

It took a great deal of effort for Jenny to suppress the laughter that had already come to her lips.

——The girl felt that her agent, who had always been methodical and well-organized, was now like a child who occasionally encountered failure and was arrogantly losing his temper.

"It looks like one thing is really one thing descending from one thing!"

In Jenny's mind, she couldn't help but think of the beast chess,

"I don't know what kind of sacredness can be restrained by director Charlotte?"

Philip Bierman also wanted to know about this.

It's not that he's out of curiosity, or because the conflict with Charlotte has escalated again, it's just that the job that Mr. Director has recently thrown to him has given him a bit of a headache.

- Actually, after clarifying his position as an echo worm, Philip no longer has the need to clash with Charlotte.

And during the filming process after "Pirates of the Caribbean", he also saw Charlotte's talent and ability.

- Whether as a director or a producer, there is no way to say anything.

Especially after watching the wonderful samples edited by the other party, Philip has turned into a believer in the "Charlotte Cult".

- The name is just a joke, but there are quite a few like-minded studio executives and producers in Hollywood.

Their purpose is -

There is no film that a Charlotte director could not make its success.

If there is, add another Charlotte producer!

- Philip Bierman didn't believe it until he saw some of the samples for Pirates of the Caribbean.

It's obviously a rough cut that hasn't been finished yet, but thanks to director Tocharlotte's strong narrative ability and rhythm grasp ability, Philip feels that he can understand them all, and he finds it very interesting.

At this time, he realized what was going on with the film review released by the well-known film critic Roger Albert that could almost be said to be completely touting director Charlotte.

- With such a strong ability to grasp the narrative and rhythm, as long as the luck is not too bad, director Charlotte is indeed unlikely to fail.

However, it is precisely because of Charlotte's ability to ensure that the film is undefeated at the box office that causes problems for Philip Bierman.

- After all, Philip is not the only one who has such an eye.

His boss, Robert Iger, the chairman of Disney Studios, also had the same vision......
