Chapter 608: Island Horror
"The three rings belong to the elven kings of the world,
The seven rings belong to the dwarven kings of the stone hall,
Nine rings belong to the human ...... that has a long lifespan."
Peter Jackson read the classic passage from "The Lord of the Rings" while looking at the nineteen rings handed to him by Charlotte,
"What are you going to do when you get me such a bunch of rings?"
"For the actors of the Ringwraith!"
Charlotte is rightfully authentic,
"Since it is an adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", it is not a pity that there is no "Lord of the Rings". β
"But except for the ring of the Supreme Ring, the other rings will no longer appear in the story, right?"
Peter Jackson said depressedly.
Immediately, he remembered a question,
"Wait, according to the setting in The Lord of the Rings, in addition to these nineteen rings, Sauron also secretly created a One Ring - so, you can't have one in your own hand, right?"
"Well...... this"
Charlotte shrugged,
"Peter, I gotta say you're thinking too much!"
β...... Don't hide your ring-wearing hand behind your back until you say that!!"
After a bit of joking, Peter Jackson eventually took a lot of the "Lord of the Rings" from Charlotte.
- Of course, the "One Ring" was also left.
After all, as props, these rings are still beautifully made.
Especially the "One Ring", Peter Jackson considered whether to secretly take it off after the shooting.
"When the time comes, wipe it in the mirror every day and say, 'This is my baby'!"
With the idea of COS Gollum in mind, Peter Jackson still seriously invited Charlotte and Charlize to make cameo roles in "The Lord of the Rings".
- No way, there are many characters in the original book of "The Lord of the Rings", and the actors invited by the crew can only play some of the main roles.
And some minor roles can only rely on the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew to make temporary cameos.
- Among other things, even Peter Jackson himself made a cameo appearance in it as a strong orc who was killed by an arrow from the elven prince Legolas.
However, for the cameo roles of Charlotte and Charlize, Peter Jackson does not plan to be so casual.
After all, two people with such good looks can't be wasted!
- Peter Jackson has made up his mind to cram these two people into the cast of actors who need good-looking elves.
But Charlotte didn't have much time to stay on the set of "The Lord of the Rings" after all, and after a brief cameo in two roles, he and Charlize left.
Of course, the reason for leaving is not just that there is no time.
In fact, avoiding the reporters who came with her was the main reason Charlotte chose to leave.
- No way, who made "Sherlock Holmes" now have more than $500 million at the box office in North America?
Although judging from the current box office curve, it is difficult for this movie to reach the level of 600 million in North America of "Titanic", but 500 million US dollars is one of the best in North American film history.
In this case, reporters naturally chased the creators of "Sherlock Holmes" again.
- Anyway, as far as Charlotte knows, Robert Downey Jr. originally wanted to pursue a red-haired woman he knew before, but because of the pursuit of reporters, it was temporarily lost.
And Charlotte, as the director and producer of the film, is naturally within the scope of the reporters.
In particular, he is now taking his new wife Charlize on a scouting class and vacation in the Southern Hemisphere, which makes the paparazzi even more excited-
If you shoot the excitement and drama of the two on the beach......
Of course, this is just the fantasy of journalists.
With the help of the evil god's disguise technique, except for a few times when the two of them had bad tastes and deliberately showed affection in front of the camera, at other moments, reporters even struggled to find them.
But even so, if there are too many reporters around, you will still accidentally expose your stuffing after all.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, after discovering that more and more reporters came to Phoenix Town, where the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" was located, Charlotte also left.
This time, instead of continuing around the southern hemisphere, they flew directly back to the United States.
After all, there is still a lot of work to be done inside the Ghost Party Studio, and Charlotte can't be a hands-off shopkeeper for too long-
"The first thing to determine is what to do with the "Island Cry" project you got from Nicole Kidman earlier?"
As a part-time secretary, Alexis is very competent.
"Whether to prepare for filming, who will direct, who will be the heroine?ββ these are all to be determined. β
"Definitely. β
Charlotte nodded,
"The script of "Island Cry" is not complicated, and the difficulty of filming is not high, otherwise you will try it?"
Charlotte looked at the old gun to the side.
The red-bearded old man hurriedly waved his hand,
"You know, I like my current position as an assistant director, and if I become a director, I won't have so much peace of mind. Charlotte, you'd better direct it yourself!"
"But I've already filmed 'The Sixth Sense' before, and that movie is very similar to the core premise of 'Island Cry', and if I come to shoot it, I will be told that I am repeating myself!andββ"
Charlotte is very straightforward,
"Old gun, you also have the urge to be a director, right? Cameramen who don't want to be directors are not good producers, are they?"
β...... Well, I'll think about it!"
Seeing that the old gun seemed to be persuaded by herself, Charlotte turned to Alexis again,
"As for the heroine, do you want to come by yourself?"
"Me!?"
Alexis pointed to the tip of his nose with a look of surprise,
"At this time, shouldn't you invite your queen heroine Sally to play?"
"If I was directing myself, of course I would have asked Sally. β
Charlotte shrugged,
"And don't you think it's very interesting for you, as a ghost, to play the heroine who is a ghost herself but doesn't know it?"
"Well, that does sound interesting. β
Alexis hadn't picked up yet, but the old gun on the side nodded,
"Moreover, if Alexis is used as the heroine, there is no need to post-produce even some special effects of ghosts, just shoot them directly!"
β...... Don't forget, if I'm taken with a camera or something, I don't leave an image. β
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more lively as they talked, Alexis hurriedly poured a basin of cold water, but Charlotte didn't care.
"There is actually a way to solve this point. β
"Can it be solved!?"
Alexis looked confused,
"That's not what you said before!"
"That was before!"
Charlotte shrugged,
"After devouring Jack the Ripper, I still have some special gains......"
