Chapter 797: The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers (Premiere)

Of course, apart from the high-ups such as Old Gun and Mr. Westwood, who knew the secrets of Charlotte's spells, the rest of the studio didn't know that this situation was caused by Charlotte's spells.

Most of them just feel very comfortable working in a Ghost Party studio.

- Whether they are tired or not, they have a sense that their daily work is meaningful.

This sense of psychological accomplishment and lack of contradiction in communication make the Ghost Party Studios extremely efficient.

Even employees with very mediocre performance in other Hollywood companies, as long as there is no problem with their personality, when they arrive at the Ghost Party Studio, they will often be reborn and become "wise and martial".

- This is often most evident in their former colleagues and superiors.

In this regard, other Hollywood companies did not say much.

On the one hand, this is because not many people have observed this change;

On the other hand, it is also because of the work characteristics of Hollywood that they often do not pay much attention to low-end practitioners like screws.

After all, because of the high degree of serendipity in the success of the film and television industry, everyone is often more superstitious about high-end talents - such as big directors, superstars, gold medal producers, and so on.

This is what makes many Hollywood companies never notice the super high efficiency advantage of Ghost Party Studios.

- Most of them are just focusing on Charlotte, a perverted guy.

However, for Charlotte, the efficiency of the studio is very meaningful.

After all, if the role of high-end talents is strategic, then the work efficiency of low-end talents is tactical.

- Although it sounds like strategy is much more important than tactical, in reality, when the tactical level of power gains a large advantage, the results are often overwhelming.

Take war as an example –

When you can fight 100 opponents alone, and the strength of both sides is about the same, it will be very easy strategically.

- Just go over A!

Just like now, Charlotte poses quite a difficult problem to the studio's film distribution department, but he believes that with this kind of efficiency, they can definitely solve it under Mr. Westwood's leadership.

Of course, that is to say, but Charlotte has no intention of leaving Mr. Westwood alone.

In fact, he has been in various layouts since several years ago.

It's just that the time has not yet come, and his layout has not yet been completed.

But even so, taking advantage of the chaos of MGM's downfall, Spectre Studios, which managed to gain a distribution network in North America, became one of the top Hollywood second-tier studios.

And soon, in December 2002, another commercial blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" invested and produced by Ghost Party Studios will also be released-

"Hollywood is really turbulent this year!"

At the premiere of "The Two Towers", David Heyman, Warner's producer in charge of the "Harry Potter" series, visited again.

This makes Charlotte a little strange -

"David, aren't you supposed to be following up on the post-production of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? That movie is almost due to be released, right? You don't have much free time right now, right?"

"Quite the opposite!"

David scratched his nose, a little embarrassed,

"The release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has been postponed. ”

"Missed the ticket?"

Charlotte was stunned,

"Why!?"

"Well...... this"

David shrugged helplessly,

"Two reasonsβ€”"

"One, it's to avoid the competition that is too fierce this year - after all, your Ghost Party studio alone has two big productions this year, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin" and "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", plus Sony Columbia's "Spider-Man" and Lucas Studio's "Star Wars Prequel 2" - these hugely influential super-blockbusters are a bit more this year. ”

"That's true. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"But that's probably not the main reason, is it?"

"Yes. ”

David smiled wryly,

"The main reason is actually because of director Mike Newell's obsessive-compulsive disorder. ”

"Did he give the film a problem?"

"Do you need to talk about it?"

David pouted,

"The real problem was that I couldn't deny his suggestion to optimize the visual effects and narrative pacing, so we had to extend the post-production time and do some reshoots. ”

"It's not really a big deal. ”

Charlotte waved her hand,

"In order to make a better movie, a slight delay is allowable - but if it is postponed, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as a commercial blockbuster, can only be postponed to the summer of next year (2003), right?"

"Yes. ”

David looked a little downcast,

"Fortunately, because the young actors you chose at the beginning are generally younger, even if we delay the production a bit, they still look more in line with the age in the story - but even so, wait until the next ......"

"The production time can't catch up with the growth of the young actors, so let's just slow down and improve the quality of the film!"

Charlotte comforted David.

"I can only hope for that!"

David sighed, then changed the subject,

"Speaking of which, Charlotte, can you give Warners the overseas distribution rights to "The Grim Reaper" produced and distributed by your Ghost Party studio some time ago?"

β€œ...... So, is that what you're here for, David?"

Charlotte shook her head,

"In business, who the overseas distribution rights of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" will be given depends on the specific cooperation conditions. ”

"I understand that. ”

David nodded,

"I'm just talking to people, and I don't mean anything else - personally, I'd rather you go to the crew of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to see if Mike Neville's optimization plan is reliable, and I hope you can give some advice. ”

"That's ......"

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded,

"I'll take the time to go! After all, I'm also the producer of the Harry Potter series!"

"You still know your title!"

David complained in his heart, but in the end he didn't say it.

It should be said that when filming the film adaptation of Tolkien's works, Peter Jackson was really full of spirituality.

In Charlotte's opinion, his "The Lord of the Rings 2: Two Towers" was shot quite well.

Especially at the end of the movie, at the climax of the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, the horn blows, and the cavalry of the Rohan Kingdom, led by King Sheudon and Ranger Aragon, launches a counter-charge against the Orc troops, while Gandalf, played by Ian McLean, rushes down the hillside with the reinforcements he has found......

"What a feeling of fighting!"

In the screening room, Charlotte was watching a movie, but such a sigh suddenly sounded in his mind......
