In fact, just as investors don't only use their own money to invest, and entrepreneurs better not use their own family background to start a business, there are not many people in the film industry who really use their own family background to make movies.

In this regard, not only the Big Seven Hollywood, but also many other film companies.

Everyone will bring in some other funds to balance the risk and ease the cash flow strain.

And these funds, if they are peers in the industry, at least everyone will cooperate normally.

If it comes from other industries, it will often become a "live **" that loses money first and takes it after making money.

That's almost a potential Hollywood rule.

But even so, considering the profits of Hollywood movies once they are successful, there are not a few investors who are willing to suffer this loss.

This is especially true for films that don't seem to fail before they are shot.

And now, in Hollywood, Charlotte's movies can almost be said to be a guarantee that they will not lose money.

It can be said that he really "doesn't need to use his own money to make movies".

- As long as he wants, there are many investors from the seven major companies to other industries, who are crying and shouting to invest in his films.

This momentum is even more pronounced after "Sherlock Holmes" surpassed a billion dollars at the global box office.

Of course, considering that introducing too much investment will dilute the profits obtained by themselves, Charlotte will not introduce too much external investment in the movies she will shoot later.

But there is no problem in closing the funding gap.

However, as for what she will make in her next movie, Charlotte is actually still thinking about it.

At present, the movies planned by the Ghost Party studio are nothing more than the "Lord of the Rings" series that Peter Jackson is filming, and "Island Cry", which has just been put on the schedule.

In fact, considering that Ovilia was only a few months old, Charlotte plans to slow down the pace of work for a while and spend more time with his wife and children.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Charlotte has no plan for the time being, but someone else has come to the door-

First of all, Sean Daniel on the global side. He wanted to invite Charlotte to direct "The Mummy 2".

Charlotte had expected this.

After all, Charlotte's "The Mummy" is also a big profit, and Universal is not a saint who treats money like dung, so he naturally wants to make a sequel.

But for this sequel, Charlotte didn't have much interest in directing it.

- Through the first part of "The Mummy", he has already experimented with some of his own ideas, and it doesn't make much sense to make a second part.

But even though he refused firmly, Sean Daniel invited him to be one of the producers of The Mummy 2.

He agreed.

In contrast, the second person who came to the door was really a little unexpected by Charlotte-

"Bob, what are you!?"

For Robert Iger, who just became the chairman of Disney Studios this year, Charlotte has met several times because of her previous cooperation with ABC TV network.

But he was a little confused about the reason why the other party came to the door.

Ostensibly, the other party came to negotiate a TV animated version of "Harry Potter" in collaboration with Ghost Party Studios.

- This does have something to do with Disney, after all, ABC is now owned by Disney.

But for such a thing, the chairman of Disney Studios was dispatched, which was really a bit of a killing chicken.

In particular, the other party also asked the assistant to bring a large stack of scripts......

"Charlotte, I wonder if you'd like to work with Disney on a movie?"

Robert Iger was very straightforward about his purpose.

And he will do this, in fact, there is no way to do it.

- Who made this Charlotte known in Hollywood for her secretive whereabouts and not much of a fan of social parties?

In fact, most people in Hollywood often have to get in touch with Charlotte through a few of his friends.

- Jodie Foster, a lace-edged woman known to many, is considered to have a leg with Charlotte mainly because she often has some relationships with Charlotte.

But whether it's Jodie Foster's side or Charlotte's other friends, they don't have a very close relationship with Disney.

Robert Iger felt that it would be better to go straight to the door than to rely on their introductions.

- At least it seems more sincere.

For this reason, he deliberately asked people to select a batch of potential scripts in Disney's script library, hoping to make Charlotte look good.

Because, based on his research on Charlotte's previous sources, he found that if Charlotte had a movie he wanted to make, he would often start preparing for the next movie soon after one movie ended.

And now, the global screening of "Sherlock Holmes" is almost over, and Charlotte has not moved at all, which shows that the other party does not seem to have any plans this time.

Then, Robert Iger thinks Disney can use a good script to seduce this great director.

Of course, Robert Iger would not have told Charlotte about his analysis.

He just introduced Charlotte to the various scripts he had dug out of Disney's script library in a very sincere way.

Charlotte, on the other hand, listened intently.

- Of course he could see what Robert Egra meant by him.

But from his point of view, it is not a bad thing to be able to have a good relationship with another of the seven Hollywood companies except Warner.

- At least one more choice!

After making a movie in the future, when talking about distribution, one more choice will also help him grab more profits.

It's just that although the few scripts that Robert Iger brought over were all good, none of them really made him want to break his plan to take a break for a while and return to filming.

Robert Iger, as a very good observer, also saw this.

"Charlotte, isn't there a script that interests you?"

"It's not interesting to say that I'm not interested at all, but ......"

Charlotte didn't know how to describe it for a while, and finally simply shrugged her shoulders,

You can think so, too. ”

"That's ......"

Robert Iger wasn't angry.

On the one hand, as the new chairman of Disney Studios, he knows very well that Disney is not very strong in the field of live-action films. It's normal for the other party to not like the script that comes out of the script library.

- If these scripts are really good enough to a certain extent, how can they end up in the script library?

On the other hand, Egger also knew that his visit this time was indeed a bit presumptuous. Charlotte may also need time to think about it......

So, he smiled and was about to say goodbye and go back to find a way, but he didn't expect Charlotte to suddenly ask a question-

"Bob, I heard that Disneyland has a pirate ship project, have you considered making a movie about it?"
