Chapter 565: Finished
However, no matter how tormented Robert Downey Jr. was in his voice acting work later, it was a matter for later.
On the current set, after Mark Strong, who plays the Earl of Blackwood, fell off the half-cut bridge in front of the green screen, all the shots of "Sherlock Holmes" have been filmed.
- Of course, under the bridge, it is not a high altitude as stated in the script, but a mat.
Mark Strong just fell from a high place and fell onto the mat.
As for the scene of Earl Blake Wood, played by him, falling down and then hanging from a chain wrapped around his body, which was needed in the movie, it had already been filmed with a dummy in advance.
In the later stage, only the background of computer special effects production needs to be added, and then edited and trimmed, which is the end of the villain of the story, Earl Blake Wood.
- As Charlotte said before, the demand for post-production in this film is actually quite high.
But in any case, the filming of "Sherlock Holmes" is finally complete.
Unlike previous filming of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and The Mummy, Charlotte does not plan to focus on post-production in the UK this time.
On the one hand, this is because the technical strength of the Ghost Party studio division on the British side is not enough, and it also has to bear the post-production special effects work of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", I am afraid that it will no longer be able to support "Sherlock Holmes".
- At present, the filming of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is also in the middle and late stages, and it is not long before the post-production time.
- The director of this film, in the end, Warner chose Chris Columbus, a director who specializes in children's films, after pursuing Charlotte unsuccessfully.
- It's no different from Charlotte's original plane.
On the other hand, it is because Charlotte has more business work to deal with after the official corporatization of Ghost Party Studios.
Staying in the UK is not conducive to the progress of these work.
What's more, "Sherlock Holmes" is in Charlotte's plan, and it is going to carry out film and game linkage.
The game department that produces the game of the same name is based in Los Angeles.
In line with the principle that one plus one is greater than two, Charlotte naturally wanted the production of the game to be carried out in conjunction with the later stages of the film, so that some resources could be shared.
Compared to temporarily relocating the game part to London, it is naturally easier to go directly back to Hollywood to make the later stages of the film.
Moreover, the end of the year is approaching, all the production work of "The Female Devil" has been completed, and it is time to release and impact the Oscars.
Charlotte is already engaged to Charlize, so naturally she has to go back and stand up for her.
- So, for bits and pieces, Charlotte finally returned to North America with the entire "Sherlock Holmes" crew.
As soon as she returned to North America, Charlotte received good news from Mr. Westwood.
- "Death Note" became a complete hit in North America.
At present, the first season of this series is nearing the end, and the highest number of viewers has reached 20 million.
- In the American drama circle, this can be said to be a phenomenal number. In particular, "Death Note" is still broadcast on pay stations like HBO.
What does this mean?
It means that HBO has made a lot of money through this series.
So, HBO is now taking the series very seriously, and Mr. Westwood is once again enjoying the feeling of being flattered and hoping that he will continue to shoot a sequel.
- The last time I felt this way was after he and Charlotte worked together on "Happy Death Day".
- Unfortunately, because after that, Charlotte no longer cooperated with the new line, and Mr. Westwood's godhead was soon gone.
- So, naturally, Mr. Westwood was very pleased with this revisit of old dreams.
And in the crew, Paul Wesley, who plays Moon (Night God Moon), and Ian Somerhalder, who plays Detective L, are also completely popular.
The Salvadoran brothers, who will fall in love and kill each other in "The Vampire Diaries" in the future, are still youth idols because of their love and killing in "Death Note".
Based on their good looks, whether it is the paranoia of Moon (Night God Moon) or the grotesqueness of L, they all produce infinite charm.
Now, the so-called Cult of the Killer God and the Knights of L have appeared on the Internet, which are composed of the two die-hard fans.
These two fan organizations naturally don't like each other, but they can't get to the point where the party is the same and different.
This is mainly because there is also the existence of a third pole power -
Moon L Party!
All film and television works that are duels between the two will often give birth to supporters with the two as a CP combination.
Death Note is no exception.
Even, because of the plot, the CP party is still very strong, so that Mr. Westwood, as a producer, is a little unsure of the market-
He deliberately asked Charlotte if he wanted to consider the audience's demands and modify the plot to make Moon and L a cooperative relationship.
——Modifying the plot according to the audience's preferences and adding drama to popular characters has always been a fine tradition of American dramas.
It's a pity that Charlotte doesn't intend to abide by this tradition—
"Even if I don't adjust the plot, at the end of the first season, Moon will voluntarily abandon the Death Note in order to avoid being locked by L. At that time, he lost his notes and related memories at the same time, so it was natural that he would cooperate with L because of his sense of justice - this is exactly the plot of the first half of the second season that we planned, isn't it?"
"That's right!"
Mr. Westwood nodded,
"But, in the end, this is temporary after all, and in the second half of the second season, Moon will once again follow the plan and get back the Death Note, at that time—"
"That's the most interesting part of this story!"
Charlotte said with a smile,
"Tragedy is more memorable than comedy, isn't it because tragedy is to break beautiful things into pieces—— the same reason, the movie of two heroes, sometimes, the confrontation to the end, the winner and the loser life and death, may be more shocking than the end of the partnership!"
"That's what I said—"
Mr. Westwood scratched his head,
"But HBO has been hoping that we can shoot Death Note for a few more seasons!?"
"That's something that can't be helped!"
Charlotte shrugged,
"This kind of story requires a lot of self-consistency, and changing the script at will only make the story fall apart in the end - personally, I would prefer to make a name for itself in the episodic world of Ghost Party Studios first, and as for the money-making episodes, that's a matter of later. ”
"Alright then, you're the boss, you have the final say!"
Mr. Westwood nodded.
In this regard, he is not dissatisfied, but a little regretful.
- After all, he hadn't experienced this feeling of being sought after for several years with a popular piece in his hand.
However, considering the strong content creation capabilities of Spectre Studios under Charlotte's leadership, Mr. Westwood didn't think it was a problem......
