Chapter 790: Professor Tauwell's Head
Actually, it's still a bit early to talk about the "pirate universe" now.
Not to mention anything else, Marvel is still struggling today, and Marvel Dafa, who will be the envy of the whole Hollywood in the future, does not even have a shadow, and it is naturally impossible to talk about any movie universe.
What's more, although the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has exploded to everyone's surprise, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which is currently in post-production after the filming has been completed, has not yet been released.
- The official agreement between Disney and Ghost Party Studios for the "Pirate" series of films naturally has to refer to the results of this third installment.
In this case, the agreement reached between Charlotte and Robert Iger is actually just an intention, and the specific details have to be completed slowly by the people below.
At the same time, Charlotte was paying attention to this matter while overseeing the post-production of "Inception" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".
- After all, both films are big productions directed by Charlotte herself, one applies a lot of new technology, and the other is related to whether the "Pirate" trilogy can end perfectly, so he can't afford not to pay attention.
In addition, with the expansion of the studio, there are many other film and television works, which also requires a certain amount of attention from Charlotte.
Let's take the TV drama department that Mr. Westwood, who has become a ghost, is mainly responsible for-
At present, although "Death Note" has long ended, because of the high popularity of the broadcast, this series still provides a lot of income for the studio.
After all, like movies, the proportion of post-production peripheral income such as DVDs in the income of TV dramas is also increasing.
Not to mention, "Death Note" also comes with a bonus to stationery products-
By now, black pamphlets have become so dominant in middle and high school classrooms in North America that the PTA (Parent and Teacher Association) in the United States is considering whether to ban it.
- and hearing the news, Charlotte was also a little dumbfounded.
How so?
Although the styles of the two sides of the Pacific Ocean are very different, sometimes the thinking is synchronized, coupled with the fight between the two, often there is nothing on both sides, and the other melon-eating spectators who were originally onlookers are uncomfortable.
- This kind of tragedy in which Wang Laoji competes with Jia Duobao and hangs up with Qizheng is not uncommon.
It is no wonder that other countries in later generations will have rumors that the G2 is actually a gang.
- Of course, the land of North America is fertile ground after all, and in the end, the PTA's evil plot did not succeed.
Although this is largely due to the efforts of the "righteous" stationery manufacturers, it is also a fact that the Ghost Party Studio, which takes the license money, "lies down and wins......
However, "Death Note" is the past glory of the TV drama department of Ghost Party Studios after all.
Now, the dramas they are filming are mainly "Evil Forces" and "Vampire Diaries".
Although these two dramas are not as popular as the previous "Death Note", they are not as expensive as they are, and they are relatively easy to shoot and can be trickled for a long time.
The second-generation title series "Prison Break", which Charlotte planned for the TV drama department, has also filmed several episodes and aired on HBO, a pay TV station that pursues excitement and lower limits.
- Judging from the current ratings growth, the outlook is very gratifying.
It can be said that these three series are all in the general trend and do not need additional support from Charlotte.
He just needs to pay attention from time to time and wait to count the money.
What really made him pay attention to it was actually two other works-
"Shipwreck Island", the former Soviet science fiction that Charlotte noticed because she was studying the secrets of the Lord of the Abyss, Mr. Westwood really thinks it is good.
Under his direction, the TV drama department of the Ghost Party Studios really dramatized it and also premiered it on HBO -
It should be said that this kind of TV series set in the twenties and thirties of the last century is really rare on North American TV screens in the last decade or so.
- Actually, because of the relatively short history of the United States, audiences in this country have always been generally interested in some historical dramas.
If it is relatively distant such as Rome, Greece, Northern Europe, etc., it is better to let them imagine freely, and at the same time have a relatively high reputation. Some medieval and modern themes, on North American TV screens, are actually relatively niche.
-- TV dramas in North America are still dominated by realistic themes, crime themes, and professional themes focusing on doctors, lawyers, and other industries.
Under this premise, it is said that the ratings of "Shipwreck Island", which has a relatively niche theme, should be tepid.
But with the help of Charlotte, a big director, this series, which specially optimized the picture, rhythm and plot of the first three episodes, made an unexpected start-
By the time of the third episode, the average viewership was close to 10 million.
- That's a pretty good result for a new series.
Of course, the niche series "Shipwreck" was able to counterattack, and it was not just purely borrowed from Charlotte's light -
Not to mention anything else, the heroes and heroines selected by Mr. Westwood this time and the detectives who are important supporting roles are very popular with the audience.
And the "Shipwreck Island" they built in the studio based on the original book and the concept map given by Charlotte is very delicate and full of characteristics.
- You know, according to the original book by Alexander Belyaev, this magical island was originally made up of shipwrecks, large and small, of different eras.
Just recreating this magical island on a TV screen is enough to arouse the interest of the audience.
Not to mention, because it was broadcast on HBO, a pay TV station, the plot of "Shipwreck Island" has added a lot of plots that the audience "likes".
Although these plots may make the coffin board of the original author Belyaev almost unbearable, I have to say that the vast majority of people still can't get rid of low-level fun.
What's more, according to the plot of "Shipwreck Island", the supporting characters of the hero and heroine and the detective drifted to this shipwreck island because of the shipwreck, which was originally a "small society" where the law of the jungle eats the strong.
In this context, it is reasonable for some pictures to make people's blood boil.
- This is the same as "Spartacus", which will also be broadcast on HBO in the future, using the background of ancient Rome to engage in violence and out-of-position pictures.
And the facts have also proved that the North American audience is indeed very addicted to this set.
Anyway, the series "Shipwreck Island" became so unexpectedly popular.
Even the works of Alexander Belyaev, a master of science fiction in the former Soviet Union, have become popular in North America.
It is said that Universal Pictures even wants to adapt its masterpiece "The Head of Professor Tauwell" into a movie......
