After the Saturn Awards, the promotional trailer for "The Valley of the Guillotine" caused quite a stir.

On the one hand, this is borrowing the heat of the Saturn Award.

On the other hand, it is also because the trailer of "Guillotine Valley" is really good.

Although it can't be said that the best pictures are in the trailer, Charlotte edited it in a very dark and grotesque style, with the terrifying and domineering Headless Horseman......

"It's a great movie for Halloween!"

After watching the trailer replay recorded by her father, Emily couldn't help but sigh a little.

At the Saturn Awards ceremony last night, the little girl was still regretting that "Happy Death Day" did not win the award of Best Horror Movie, but after returning home, she found that the TV trailer of "Guillotine Valley" had been released.

Fortunately, his dad has always had a hobby of recording videos when watching TV, which made Emily not miss the trailer.

"However, this kind of TV trailer is usually not shown only once, so there is no need to rush......"

Emily pondered to herself. She thought the trailer was good, dark, mysterious, grotesque, and terrifying......

Well, these are Emily's preferred styles. However, what made the little girl more concerned at this time was a woman in a light blue dress that appeared in the trailer-

"This is the weird Miss Ghost from Fatal Bend, right?"

Emily's image at that time was so memorable that she even secretly cursed the other party out of fear. But this time, the other party's image has changed dramatically-

"Although it is still very mysterious, that terrible woman can give people a motherly sense of gentleness......"

Emily suddenly felt that the world was a little unreal.

In fact, the little girl didn't know that the scenes related to Alexis in "Guillotine Valley" were actually reshot after the fact.

There's no way, when the official filming was filmed, so many people were staring, and if Charlotte let Charlize and Alexis switch directly, it would really be a big change.

And if possible, Charlotte didn't want to divulge secrets about the spell.

- So, she chose to let Alexis appear again when she made up the shoot afterwards.

After the adjustment of the Evil God's disguise technique, no one could see that Alexis's appearance was actually very similar to Charlleze's.

The reshoot went well, but when the reshoot was over and Alexis left, Charlotte told everyone that she was the tech master of the Ghost Party Studio, and both Old Gun and Addison Young were a little confused.

"So, you're saying that the pretty woman who can be a star is actually a programmer? Are the talent scouts in Los Angeles blind?"

Well, Emily is not the only one who feels that the world is not real because of Alexis......

In short, taking advantage of the Saturn Awards, the publicity work of "Guillotine Valley" is in full swing, and even the marginal character of Alexis has attracted a lot of attention.

This made the two producers, Jodie Foster and Andrew Kevin Walker, very happy.

In contrast, Charlotte was much more depressed. After all, although he is also a producer, Mr. Director's job is more in post-production-

Although he doesn't work overtime every day as 996, his work is by no means like the other two, as long as he gives orders every day.

"However, this Halloween schedule, we should have no problem catching up!"

While sipping a strong bitter coffee, Charlotte was there calculating the progress of post-production,

"The only thing that is more troublesome is the two sets of special effects that were subcontracted to industrial light and magic workers in the end......"

- In the end, the two sets of special effects that were not suitable for spell rendering were left to the well-known Industrial Light & Magic Company.

As a well-known computer special effects company that has produced "Star Wars", the technical level of Industrial Light and Magic is still guaranteed. It's just that their fees are also very "guaranteed" -

"They shouldn't be delayed, but it's ...... overhead."

The old gun on the side also sighed, and at this time he somewhat agreed with Charlotte's idea-

Indeed, if you often shoot special effects films, it is a good choice to have a special effects studio in hand.

In fact, although it looks like a leather bag company, Ghost Party Studios is also a special effects studio.

However, the work of the studio is completely supported by the special technology developed by Charlotte and Alexis, and there is a lack of manpower. Therefore, when there is a picture that cannot be processed by special technology, it has to be subcontracted.

Of course, this is the understanding of the old gun.

But even though Charlotte knew he was using spell rendering, not computer effects at all, he felt the need to add some staff to the studio who could do their jobs.

In particular, Charlotte has been pondering a special plan lately......

"In short, don't care about the future for now, let's get the later stage of "Guillotine Valley" as soon as possible!"

Charlotte made up her mind.

After all, this movie is related to whether he can really be promoted to a first-line commercial film director......

In fact, there are very few ordinary commercial film directors who are promoted to the first line with only three films. Of course, there is a seniority problem, but more importantly, directors can't guarantee that every film is profitable.

Like the stars, the directors will also fall in value if they shoot failed works.

What's more, unlike actors who focus on acting, directors must be responsible for the success or failure of the film, even the kind of director who has most of the power stuck by the producer.

In other words, the success or failure of the movie actually has a greater impact on the director.

The successive explosive box office successes of "Fatal Bend" and "Happy Death Day", two small-budget horror films, have made Charlotte a money-making expert in the minds of many investors.

In this case, if it can be regarded as a big-scale production of "Guillotine Valley", he can also successfully control it and achieve a good box office, then he can completely establish an undefeated golden body in the minds of the group of investors commonly found in Hollywood.

- Faith is such a thing, although it is often illusory, but once it is mastered, it is equivalent to having the strongest weapon.

It's true of war, it's true of stocks, it's true of movies.

For a successful commercial film director, what is it that underpins his position?

Talent?

There is a possibility.

But on the other hand, don't those literary film directors have talent?

Woody Allen is known as one of Hollywood's rare cultural people, and he is definitely talented for reflecting the sense of culture in movies.

But if it is a commercial blockbuster, it is rare for a filmmaker to choose him as a director.

Studios prefer commercial directors who are often criticized by critics, such as Spielberg and even Michael Bay.

What really supports the status of a commercial film director is his past box office results, and the confidence that investors have in him because of these achievements.

And "Guillotine Valley" is a key step for Charlotte to build investors' confidence in him.

But—

"Why did Paramount want to put the premiere of 'Guillotine Valley' in the UK?"

Looking at the message from Andrew Kevin Walker, Charlotte fell into deep thought.

PS1: The "Halloween" series, also known as "Moonlight Panic", is a horror film series that has shot a lot of sequels, 2: Actually, everyone says that Exploding Bey is the artist, after all, "art is an explosion"!
