Since Charlotte was visiting the "Lord of the Rings" crew in New Zealand at this time, he asked Stern to lead the game department to produce games related to this movie.

After all, Ghost Party Studios' policy of making games has always been the linkage of movies and games - if there is a movie, the corresponding game will be made.

In this way, the cost of one publicity can be used as two copies, and the design scheme of some special effects scenes used in the movie can also be shared, which is naturally the best choice.

What's more, Charlotte's memory, in his original time and space, there was indeed an online game with the theme of "Lord of the Rings", and the production level was excellent, but because "World of Warcraft" was rampaging all over the world at that time, it did not compete with this masterpiece produced by Blizzard.

- That's right, what Charlotte wants her studio's game department to produce this time is an online game RPG masterpiece like the "World of Warcraft" version.

It's just that the world view and story of "The Lord of the Rings" will be used.

- This time, Charlotte intends to go the path of Blizzard and make Blizzard have no way out.

Of course, it is not so easy to replace World of Warcraft in history.

After all, before "World of Warcraft", there were other 3D online game RPGs, but it was this game that became popular in the end, and it was not without reason that it was for no reason.

So, Charlotte doesn't have the ambition to make this Lord of the Rings-themed game reach the heights of World of Warcraft.

But if you can make some extra money, why not?

You know, the first decade of the 21st century was the most glorious era of computer online games.

At its best, it can even be said that you can make a game to make money.

How could Charlotte give up this opportunity to pick up money?

What's more, Charlotte feels that with the game production ability of the Ghost Party Studio, coupled with his various suggestions as a time-traveler, it may not be impossible to make this game a classic of the era.

- So, the development plan for the 3D online game version of The Lord of the Rings was so happily decided.

Although Stern regretted the loss of the opportunity to paddle, he was still excited to make such a large-scale game.

However, in order to avoid the production time being too short and the technical effect immature, Charlotte did not ask the game department to eat a fat man.

His plan was for the games department to make a console version of a single-player 3D RPG game that would be released together with the release of the first part of The Lord of the Rings.

After that, the game department gradually expanded a large-scale online game based on this game, and its release time should be around the time of the release of the second part of "The Lord of the Rings", "The Two Towers".

In this way, it is natural to be able to take advantage of the linkage again.

And by the time the third installment of "The Lord of the Rings" "The Return of the King" is released, after more than a year of promotion and revision, the game should also be just mature and ready to launch the first expansion......

- The plan was perfect.

Of course, considering the development cycle of large-scale online games that can easily take two or three years or even longer, it is not impossible to skip tickets.

But Charlotte's plan is good, even if the game department skips tickets, as long as the game she produces can be released before the third movie "The Return of the King" is released, she can borrow the power of the film series.

This is much more successful than simply making an online game without IP.

As for the fact that by the end of 2003, the third installment of the "Lord of the Rings" series, "The Return of the King", had been released, and the game had not yet been made......

Charlotte felt that in that case, the game department of the Ghost Party studio could have been disbanded and reorganized.

However, whether it is the establishment of a new game project or the implementation of various spell work methods within the Ghost Party Studio, Charlotte does it remotely in her free time.

As for what he is doing in his spare time, there is actually only one word -

Play!

- Although I nominally came to visit the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", I finally came to the southern hemisphere for a trip, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't have a good time?

Especially, after Charlotte and Charlize got married, they haven't even had an official honeymoon!

Although Charlize, who was born in South Africa, is also considered to be born in the southern hemisphere, can South Africa be the same as New Zealand?

Anyway, for Charlotte now, play is the main business, and as for work, just do a little bit of free time every day.

Of course, for Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings," this is not a good thing.

After all, Charlotte, as the owner of the investor, is in the name of a producer. And unlike the average producer who is not actually proficient in directing films, he is an excellent director of commercial films.

- If he hangs out on the set from time to time, then Peter Jackson will become a complete puppet.

However, Peter Jackson had to follow Charlotte's guidance.

- No way, who let there really be a gap between the directing levels of the two sides!

When "Sherlock Holmes" premiered in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, a few days ago, Peter Jackson also went to see it-

I have to take it!!

Anyway, Peter felt that if he could make a movie like this, he would definitely cry like a 200-pound child.

- Well, that's his current weight.

- And this is because I have been busy with the preparation and filming of the "Lord of the Rings" series recently, and I have lost a lot of weight.

In fact, Peter Jackson both rejected and hoped for Charlotte's direction in film.

Of course, he wants to be in full control of his work – it's the instinct of a director, so to speak.

But on the other hand, he also hopes to get more guidance from a better director.

- As a fan of Tolkien's books, Peter Jackson wanted to make the Lord of the Rings movies flawless.

This made him very conflicted.

And Charlotte also realized Peter Jackson's ambivalent mentality-

As a time-traveler, he didn't feel like he could coach Peter Jackson much on the Lord of the Rings film adaptation.

After all, the latter is known as "the man born for Tolkien"!

- Leaving the "Lord of the Rings" series, Peter Jackson's directing level may be the average level of Hollywood. But in the "Lord of the Rings" series, this fat man is an out-and-out "Lord of the Rings"!

Of course, as a producer, Charlotte didn't make any requests.

- If he didn't say anything, Peter Jackson himself would have been suspicious.

In fact, in addition to routinely reminding the other party to pay attention to controlling costs, Charlotte also asked Peter Jackson to design the characters belonging to the Demon Lord Sauron's side to be more terrifying.

- In terms of exaggerating horror, it can be said that Charlotte and the Ghost Party Studio are old in their business, as long as Peter Jackson, who is the director and left, does not interfere much, everyone will naturally know how to do it.

In particular, Charlotte really sent a lot of "Lord of the Rings......
