Actually, as far as Charlotte knows, "The Vampire Diaries" is indeed two different types of series from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

Although they are all fantasy TV series and are more skewed towards teenagers, the story of "Vampire Slayer Buffy" is more serialized, with more independence between the stories of each episode, and the heroine-centered narrative structure is also more so-called "feminist".

In contrast, "The Vampire Diaries" in Charlotte's original time and space is more like an American love story - in short, it is to explain the plot in a way that is constantly arranged and combined between several male and female protagonists.

It's just that "The Vampire Diaries" is dressed in the fantasy cloak of a vampire story.

To a certain extent, it is said that it is a fantasy version of "Gossip Girl", but in fact, it is not a big problem.

It just so happened that in Charlotte's original time and space, when this series was broadcast, it was just in time for the "love for vampires" craze brought by the "Twilight" series......

In fact, at the beginning of the first season of "The Vampire Diaries", it made a considerable "reference" to "Twilight".

It's just that it gradually developed into a more complex story.

Compared to the love story in "Twilight", which can almost be described as "pure", the love in "The Vampire Diaries" is more chaotic and heavy.

Of course, it can't reach the level of heavy taste of another vampire American drama "True Blood......

In short, Charlotte is now taking out the script of "The Vampire Diaries", in fact, he also has his considerations-

First of all, the two male protagonists of the American drama version of "Death Note" in the current Ghost Party Studios, Moon (Night God Moon) and L, use Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder respectively.

- that is, the two male protagonists of "Vampire Diaries" in his original time and space.

Both of them are currently very popular because of "Death Note", and they have a happy relationship with the Ghost Party Studios.

On the one hand, this is because the two young men are more sensible, and they don't dare to their tails at all in the face of old fritters like the strong Charlotte and Mr. Westwood.

on the other hand, it is also because of the relationship between the two and the crew signed a contract;

After all, unlike on the other side of the Pacific, because of the habit of filming and broadcasting TV dramas in the United States, actors generally have to sign long-term contracts with the crew.

At present, the contract between the two and the crew has not expired, so it is natural to be honest.

In fact, it is this kind of system that can support American dramas to be filmed for more than ten seasons without changing actors.

On the other side of the Pacific, because there is no long-term convention, TV stars are freer.

Because of this, it is difficult to produce a series that has been filmed for more than ten seasons in a row, or even a few seasons.

- It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

Once a drama becomes popular, from the director to the actors, they will be worth a lot, and they will face various invitations to new films, and it will be very difficult to get together the crew after one season.

Of course, industry habits are different, and it is impossible to say which one is better.

At the very least, TV stars on the other side of the Pacific, unlike TV stars on the American side, are easily trapped in a character in a drama and can't get out for the rest of their lives.

After having an excellent work, they can keep trying new episodes and characters, and even the passage into the film industry is quite smooth.

In this regard, they are actually luckier than American TV stars.

However, for those fans of the show, this is not a good thing -

All super-long works, after being made into films, are either greatly compressed plots, or they can only shoot a beginning.

It's okay to shoot indiscriminately, so if you don't watch it, forget it;

If the filming is good, then everyone wants to wait for the next season, and it will really be far away.

And even if you really wait for the next season, the possibility of still being the original cast is very low.

It's like a certain famous "Ghost X Lantern" series.

Although the water in this one is a bit deep......

In short, as the two male protagonists of "Death Note", Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder signed long-term contracts with Ghost Party Studios.

Even if two seasons of Death Note were over, the studio wouldn't have to give them any additional compensation.

But from Charlotte's point of view, it was actually a bit of a loss to let the two of them go.

- The popularity they gained from Death Note will be used in other series or movies.

Although this is actually a very normal thing in Hollywood-

Today you rub my popularity, tomorrow I rub yours again!

But Charlotte didn't want to do that.

- He is ready to rub his popularity directly.

After all, I already knew that these two people were the two male protagonists of "The Vampire Diaries" in the original time and space, so why didn't they take out the Vampire Diaries?

On the one hand, there is a version in the original time and space as the foundation, and the two should indeed be very suitable;

On the other hand, it is also possible to take advantage of the duo's current popularity from "Death Note" to directly hype up "The Vampire Diaries".

Especially, because of the existence of the previous long-term contract, even if the contract is changed, the cost of using these two people is much lower than inviting other stars with the same popularity.

- According to the habits of the American drama industry, even if the two want to negotiate with the crew and greatly increase the salary, they will almost have to wait for the end of the long-term contract, and the drama is like a day, when it is not over.

Now is the time when they are the most cost-effective.

"You're right!"

Mr. Westwood agrees with Charlotte,

"But—"

Mr. Producer flipped through the script, frowning slightly,

"Why did Paul Wesley play the righteous brother Stefan and Ian Somerhalder play the evil brother Damon in "The Vampire Diaries"?

"Well...... this"

Charlotte said with a smile,

"First of all, if you continue to read the script, you can find that the black and white of the characters in "The Vampire Diaries" are actually constantly changing, the good guys will be blackened, and the bad guys will be whitewashed, so no one is pure integrity or pure evil!"

"That's understandable!"

Mr. Westwood nodded,

"However, this kind of gameplay is a bit of a George · R· The feel of R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. ”

"Whoever is the main point of view, who will become like the protagonist, more understood and liked by the reader?"

"Yes. Then again—"

Mr. Westwood was just about to nod his head when a question suddenly came to mind,

"—Aren't you going to be like in "A Song of Ice and Fire", where the story is based on who is the main point of view, who will hang up, right?"

"I'm not mad enough yet. ”

Charlotte shrugged,

"However, when it comes to "A Song of Ice and Fire", I think it will be very good if it can be adapted into a TV series!" (https:)
