In fact, Charlotte would consider filming the follow-up story of Will Turner's Line, also because he felt that the Flying Dutchman might be more helpful for him to explore the secrets of the Lord of the Abyss than the Black Pearl.

But that's for later.

At present, the most important work of the Ghost Party studio is always staring at the screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" -

According to Charlotte's prediction, they should try to speed up the payment of the movie, so as to avoid waiting until "Pearl Harbor" is released, Disney will account for the income of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" if it loses too much......

Of course, considering that Disney will at least cooperate with Ghost Party Studios on the last two installments of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, as long as the other party is not stupid, it should not be too much.

But the problem is that there are more fools in this world sometimes than we think......

Anyway, Charlotte felt that it was necessary to be defensive.

In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the previously mentioned "Island Cry", the Ghost Party Studios also talked about the post-production of "The Lord of the Rings 1" at this internal meeting.

- In this regard, because after the post-production of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was completed, the post-production of "The Lord of the Rings 1" became the focus of the Ghost Party studio, so the progress was still very smooth.

"Anyway, there is no problem with the release at the end of 2001!"

Chubby Peter Jackson slapped his chest,

"Actually, I don't think it's hard to get it to September if you rush it. ”

“...... There's no need for that!"

Thinking of 911, Charlotte hurriedly stopped the fat Peter who was dying,

"As an adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", and a fantasy epic blockbuster, I think it's better to make some elaborate work!"

"That's fine!"

Since Charlotte is not in a hurry as an investor, Peter Jackson is also happy to have more time......

After that, several people discussed the plan to remake the Japanese version of "Midnight Bell"-

After Charlotte proposed the plan, Mr. Westwood had negotiated the corresponding copyright.

"Actually, on the DreamWorks side, there is also a bit of an idea of remaking this movie. ”

Mr. Westwood said triumphantly,

"However, after my mediation, they gave up – after all, it's not a major project – so we didn't spend much money on the rights!"

- Well, that's the point.

In response, whether it was Charlotte, Lao Gun and others, they all extended their thumbs in response.

- just downward.

"It's worthy of being a producer who deducts money!"

The tone of the old gun can't tell whether it is praise or depreciation,

"But anyway, I can start the formal preparations now, right?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"Actually, after hearing that our studio was planning a remake of Midnight Bells, Nicole Kidman once recommended an actress to me – her fellow Australian countryman named Naomi Watts. ”

"Watts!?"

The old gun muttered, as if to remember if he had heard the name.

Addison Young, who had been silent for a long time, asked,

"Have you slept?"

"What!?"

Charlotte was stunned.

But after a glance at Mr. Photographer, who was the most sullen photographer in the studio, he understood,

"How is that possible?"

"Yes, after all, Sally is not the kind of woman who is easy to talk to!"

Mr. Photographer said with a smile,

"But if you haven't slept before, just give her an audition, right?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"The back is still official!"

"That's fine!"

The old gun scratched his head,

"Actually, I'm not worried about normal characters. It's just a horror movie after all, and the acting requirements aren't too high, the problem is that the ghost Sadako-"

He glanced at Charlotte,

"I'm not sure how to shape her—"

"It's the traditional way in American horror films, or you have to be a little different and make her beautiful, like Charlotte did in "Fatal Bend" and "Happy Death". ”

"This ......"

Charlotte understands that this is actually because the old gun is influenced by herself.

- In traditional American horror films, you don't think about dealing with ghosts in a good-looking direction, basically how disgusting and terrifying it is.

- The practice of making ghosts, especially female ghosts, beautiful and scary, coexist, is actually the practice of oriental horror films.

Not to mention "A Chinese Ghost Story" and other romance films dressed in ghost films, they are ordinary oriental horror films, and many female ghosts are also very beautiful.

is like the "Midnight Bell" series, when the fourth part is based on Sadako's origin story, Sadako's actor directly uses Yukie Nakama.

And Charlotte, as a traverser from across the Pacific, was naturally influenced by this tendency.

Therefore, in his films, characters such as ghosts, witches, witches, and murderers are often portrayed by him as very feminine -

Like Charlize and Alexis in "Fatal Bend", Jodie Foster in "Happy Death Day", and so on......

Influenced by his success, some Hollywood directors have gradually felt that ghost roles, simple horror is not enough.

- When it is terrifying, it has a unique charm, which makes people afraid and want to see it, which is a higher realm.

In this regard, Lao Gun, who has been an assistant director for Charlotte before, naturally supports it.

- After seeing Charlotte's technique, he also wanted to try to learn it, but how to do it, he didn't have it yet.

So, now he's going to ask Charlotte for advice.

And Charlotte agrees with him.

"If you want to shoot Sadako scary and beautiful, makeup is very important!"

Charlotte pointed at the old gun,

"In this respect, you can't use normal makeup - you have to use dead people's makeup!"

"Dead man's makeup!?"

"A unique way of making up the deceased!"

Charlotte explains,

"A normal makeup artist wouldn't, but I can instruct Annika and let her do that!"

"This, forget about this!"

The old gun laughed dryly,

"After giving birth, Annika has been more focused on her family lately, if you are willing to help, you can just come directly, you don't need to guide Anika!"

- Who knows if you have any goblin spells in here!?

The old gun, who knew Charlotte, muttered in his heart.

He didn't want his wife to master some special technique of applying makeup to dead people—it was scary to hear!

Charlotte didn't suspect anything.

He just nodded,

"In that case, when the time comes, I'll help you directly with some shots and effects related to Sadako, and she will definitely be beautiful and scary!"

“......”

- You've actually seen a lot of ghosts yourself, so you want to go back to society!?

This thought suddenly popped into the old gun's heart......
