Chapter 442: Challenger
"So, that's what you said yes!?"
After Charlotte returned to London, she told the story of "The Mummy", which immediately triggered a lament from Lao Gun and others.
"What, what's the problem?"
Charlotte was a little confused.
"No, no problem. β
The old gun shook his head,
"I'm just lamenting that there's more work!"
"yes!"
Alexis on the side also nodded,
"It's true that the workload is getting bigger again - Charlotte, no, boss, I'm asking for a raise!"
"There's no problem with this!"
Charlotte smiled generously, then pulled the old gun aside,
"Old gun, through this incident, I realized that we can actually get a lot of other people's scripts. Do you think, should we-"
"Stock up on some scripts for future use?"
The old gun asked.
Charlotte shook her head,
"No, it's trying to make our own films, rather than directing each of them. β
"You mean, set up a production company!?"
The old gun immediately understood what Charlotte meant,
"It's true that when I see a good script occasionally, even if I can't shoot it myself, I feel a little sorry to let it go. Once you've set up a production company, it's also a good idea to run it and let someone else shoot it. Butβ"
The old gun asked a little solemnly,
"The production company you want to set up, do you want to be Ampere Entertainment, or DreamWorks?"
"Well...... this"
Charlotte hesitated.
He understood what the old gun meantβ
Amperin Entertainment is the production company owned by the great director Spielberg, including "EΒ· The production of many famous films such as "T" has the participation of this production company;
And DreamWorks, both now and in the future, is even more famous.
- It was built in October 1994. The three founders were Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen.
These three people are all bigwigs who stomp on the sky in Hollywood. Naturally, the DreamWorks they co-founded was also extraordinary.
And the difference between Amperin Entertainment and DreamWorks is essentially only one - whether it is to challenge the old order.
In other words, is it to challenge the domination of Hollywood by the seven major studios.
Charlotte thought about it, but finally shook her head,
"Old gun, we don't have the ability to be a dream factory for the time being!"
Coming from the future, he actually knew very well that the challenge of DreamWorks still ended in failure.
Although this company has shot a lot of excellent film and television works, it was eventually sold to seven major Hollywood production companies because of the loss problem and had to split itself.
This will be the case, although there are operational mistakes, but the more important reason is the joint suppression of the seven Hollywood majors.
- Even when DreamWorks was broken up, MGM was already bankrupt, and the Big Seven in Hollywood had become the Big Six.
At the end of the day, as the ruler of Hollywood, the Big Seven studios can be reduced to Big Six, or even Big Five, but they are very reluctant to accept new challengers.
As soon as a new challenger like DreamWorks emerges, they will work together to suppress it.
In a way, this is the same situation as the five rogue clubs of the United Nations β uh, no, the Security Council.
If Charlotte were a pure Hollywood filmmaker, he might have been interested in challenging the domination of the Big Seven.
But as a time-traveler who pursues spells, even though he is very interested in making movies, he has no intention of adding additional difficult tasks to himself.
- After all, the goals pursued are not the same.
What's more, if you really want to challenge the seven major production companies, you also need to have the right time. And for now......
In short, after some discussion with the old gun, Charlotte is ready to directly upgrade the Ghost Party studio to an official production company.
- Of course, for the time being, it's still the kind that is more common in Hollywood.
This process naturally involves a lot of formalities.
It's not something Charlotte needs to worry about, though β as the boss, he just needs to tell the story and wait for the results.
At present, his focus is still on the preparation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
With the addition of Jodie Foster, the "teachers" of Hogwarts in the dream are finally sufficient.
With the support of Charlotte, Charlize and Judy, whether it is Dumbledore, Snape or Professor McGonagall, they are all vividly interpreted.
- At the very least, in the dream world, the young actors have the feeling that they really went to school at Hogwarts.
Although when they wake up, they basically don't remember anything.
But for Jodie Foster, who remembers everything, the dream world is indeed very magical.
"You can use this method to train your acting skills, Charlotte, you are really good!"
While admiring the beauty of "Hogwarts", the actress admired,
"I just don't know if this method can be used in other movies?"
"Other films are more difficult. β
Charlotte shook her head,
"These children are generally not over 10 years old, and their basic magical talents have not yet degenerated, so they can adapt to frequent entry and exit from the dream world. β
"Most of the adult actors, with the exception of you and Sally, have degraded their magical talents, and they can't go in and out of the dream world repeatedly, which would make them insane. β
Speaking of this, Charlotte spread her hands,
"There's no way I'm going to make all the adult actors I use crazy in order to make a good movie, right?"
"That's right. β
Jodie Foster nodded. She glanced at Charlize who was sitting next to Charlotte and was holding a faint guard at her,
"Then again, are there really so few people like me and Sally who have spiritual talents as adults?
"Less is naturally very little, and it is not too much to say that there is no one in ten thousand. β
Charlotte said with a wry smile,
"As for artificial cultivation, it's not impossible, it's just that the cost is too great......"
- And why should I raise them for no reason!?
Charlotte didn't say this sentence in her heart.
However, Jodie Foster, who has always been known for her shrewdness, naturally will not be completely blind to Charlotte's mind.
She changed the subject and chatted with Charlotte about the preparation of "The Mummy".
- According to her, Sean Daniel was very happy when she learned that Charlotte was willing to direct. He directly took the plan to the senior management of Universal Pictures and tried to complete the project as soon as possible.
- As for Charlotte's various conditions, the other party agreed without hesitation.
"That's the best proof of your status in Hollywood today!"
Jodie Foster said with a smile,
"If "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and this movie you named "The Mummy" are successful again, then I guess the executives of those production companies will look at you with the eyes of God!"
β...... Well, in that case, it would be weird!"
Charlotte shrugged. ()
