Chapter 617: Milk
"When I go back, I will first search for the scripts registered in the Screenwriters Guild according to the direction of the story you planned. β
Robert Iger explains,
"If we find a similar script in it, we'll pay attention to it in advance - when the time comes, depending on the script you've created, decide whether to buy them first or ignore them. β
"You're worried that someone will take advantage of you?"
Charlotte asked rhetorically.
"yes!"
Robert Iger said with a smile,
"Charlotte, because your previous works are relatively special, I haven't encountered this situation, but every time a movie hits the box office, there will be a bunch of people saying that this plagiarized their script or original work, you should have heard a lot, right?"
"Definitely. β
Charlotte nodded, and Robert Iger continued,
"For this kind of trouble, I still think it is better to eliminate it in advance. β
"In particular, unlike the genre of movies you've made before, the pirate genre isn't very popular now, but it used to be popular in Hollywood for a while. There are a lot of related scripts, and if you don't get it right, there will be a little more similar - when our movie is released, it will be disgusting if those guys jump out and sue us. β
"That's ......"
Charlotte groaned for a while, and a thought suddenly came to her,
"Bob, you're not wrong with this precautionary measure. However, if we do come across a script that is likely to be similar, should we consider paying some money for it?"
"Buy?"
Robert Iger rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Charlotte meant,
"Are you planning to promote the story of this movie into a story that has been brewing for years?"
"Isn't that what the audience will eat?"
Charlotte shrugged.
ββTen years of sharpening a sword or something, in the eyes of the audience, it is indeed a guarantee of high-quality products.
After all, the general view is that if you don't have enough talent, you should use time and effort to make up for it!
Didn't Edison also say, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration".
Although "that 1% of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% of sweat", the latter sentence of poisonous chicken soup is actually superfluous.
One must and can only believe that long hours of hard work are meaningful.
- The world is already so cruel, why make people's already slim hopes even more dim?
Charlotte naturally understands this.
Even after being in Hollywood for many years, he knows that many so-called "ten years of sharpening a sword" works are actually packaged.
The world is developing faster and faster, and the script of more than ten years ago may be completely useless except for the basic theme and element combination.
Therefore, those so-called scripts that existed more than ten years ago may have been unrecognizable by the time they are actually filmed.
That's why Hollywood generally doesn't recognize the copyrights of editors who sell scripts.
- Who knows how big the gap between the script at that time and the filming was?
That is, those adaptations will be better.
- After all, there are fans of the original book, and the director and producer don't dare to change it too much.
But this is also relative after all.
However, when promoting, everyone likes to say that the crew was brewing a long time ago, because the audience still eats this set.
For this reason, sometimes the crew will deliberately create evidence that the script existed a long time ago, so as to prove that they are the "sword that has been sharpened for ten years".
In fact, in Charlotte's original time and space, the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean" had rumors about this.
Whether it's true or not, Charlotte doesn't know.
But that didn't stop him from thinking of wrapping his "Pirates of the Caribbean" in old fashion......
However, Robert Egger's reaction was so quick that Charlotte was a little surprised.
However, considering that the future Disney president can push Disney to the position of the largest Hollywood factory, there is no doubt that his ability is good.
Charlotte didn't say anything, and let Robert Iger do the work.
Charlotte still put her attention back on the creation of the film script......
"So, you're starting to prepare a new movie again?"
At night, seeing Charlotte writing a script under a lamp, Charlize wondered why.
She asked casually as she brought Charlotte a cup of fragrant hot milk,
"What's the story this time about?"
"A story about pirates. β
Charlotte replied casually, picked up the cup and took a sip of milk by the way,
"This milk tastes weird!"
He frowned.
And Charlize on the side shrugged his shoulders,
"What's weird, weren't you happy to suck last night?"
"Last night!?"
Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then looked at Charlize's face and looked down, a little demented for a while.
"Just kidding!"
Charlize chuckled,
"Actually, it's just that I warm the milk and add a little more cod liver oil to it. β
"Yes, yes?"
Charlotte tugged at the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether to laugh or not.
Charlize smirked and said,
"However, judging from Auvilia's current growth rate, she should really not have to drink it soon, and she will drink it all for you when the time comes!?"
"Hey!!"
"Okay, no kidding!"
Charlize waved his hand, frowning slightly,
"Don't you think our daughter is growing up a little fast?"
"Fast is for sure. β
Charlotte shrugged,
"Children who are born with mana are themselves growing up faster than ordinary children. And that's just limited by the speed at which the body grows. β
"If she attaches her consciousness to the spirit formed by mana, then she will be able to reach the intelligence level of seven or eight years old very quickly. β
"What!?"
This time it was Charlize's turn to be surprised,
She grabbed her husband by the shoulder,
"Let's not talk about why the innate mana leads to an increase in growth and the transfer of consciousness to the spirit body!?
"In a way, you could think that Ovilia could control two bodies at the same time if she had enough manaβ"
"One is a normal body, and the other is a spirit that exists like a ghost. β
"Can it be like this!?"
Charlize's mouth opened wide in surprise,
"There won't be any danger, will it?"
"No, it won't. β
Charlotte shook her head,
"On the other hand, if she can't create a spirit all the time, I'm going to worry!"
"Why!?"
Charlize was surprised.
"Because that means that the aura concentration in this world is going to drop again!"
Charlotte frowned and said,
"In that case, I couldn't use a lot of spells. And a child like Ovilia, who is born with mana, is also most afraid of that kind of environment, which will make them become like whales that have been dragged to the shore and stranded......"
As she spoke, Charlotte carefully explained to Charlize the various effects of the reduced aura or the end of the Dharma era......
