Chatty Hollywood

Charlotte is not in the United States.

He is currently in Edinburgh, England.

However, he was not on vacation, and the one accompanying him was not Charlize, a beauty, but Lao Qiang, a rough man with a red beard like a bush.

——His original plan to go on vacation after "The Sixth Sense" was released fell through.

This is not his problem, but something happened to Charlize, who originally agreed to play with him——

The girl's mother was finally cured of her psychosis.

Although Charlize "thanked" Charlotte that night, she chose to temporarily accompany her mother who had just regained consciousness.

Naturally, the plan to accompany Charlotte on vacation came to nothing.

Without the company of her beautiful girlfriend, Charlotte has no interest in vacation for the time being.

——After all, it’s a bit lonely to go on vacation alone without the company of beautiful women, and you can’t do many interesting things...

In desperation, Charlotte had no choice but to continue working.

However, the promotional plan for "The Sixth Sense" was decided before the movie was released. In this regard, it relies more on actors such as Bruce Willis rather than the director Charlotte.

Even according to a recent audience survey, Charlotte, as a director, already has a lot of box office appeal, but the plans that have been scheduled for a long time are not suitable for changes.

After all, headlines and talk shows must be booked in advance.

It is not a wise choice to change the planned plan when it is not absolutely necessary.

Under this situation, Charlotte simply turned her attention to the animation department, which he had neglected for half a year.

——Or, he thought of Joanna Rowling and her "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

To be honest, although the animation department of Spectre Studio has been cared for by Charlotte since its creation, this group of people has not followed the trend.

With the help of Alexis's unique spell, the recruited programmers and painters all have some career pursuits.

This allowed them to have little intervention from Charlotte as the owner.

He is still working hard on new technologies and is also preparing for the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

In fact, in order to facilitate communication with Rowling, the original author who is currently writing the original text, they even sent a representative to the UK...

These efforts have made the preparations for the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" proceed very smoothly.

——Right now, before Rowling has finished writing the original work, the artists at Spectre Studio have already finished the original character designs for most of the important characters, including the three protagonists.

"Are you satisfied with the original paintings of the characters we drew?"

Shortly after meeting Rowling, Charlotte asked straight to the point.

"not bad!"

Rowling replied with a smile.

It can be seen that she has lived quite well in the past half year or so. Although she can't be compared with the magical mother who will be prosperous in the future, at least she is no longer the impoverished single mother she was before.

"Actually, your original paintings gave me a lot of inspiration."

Rowling continued,

"But why is this style of painting used? Generally speaking, don't TV animations for children use a simpler style of painting?"

"This question..."

Charlotte paused.

In fact, Charlotte had carefully read the character designs made by the animation department of Spectre Studio for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

In fact, it was Charlotte's suggestion that the painting style similar to that of 21st century Disney animated movies would be adopted——

"Because the animation we are going to produce is a 3D animation!"

Charlotte explained,

"So, our character design must be convenient for 3D modeling!"

“Isn’t the style of painting in those TV animations from the past good?”

Rowling looked a little regretful.

Charlotte was speechless.

——It seems that the future magic mother is also one of those who was poisoned by the ghostly painting style in European and American comics!

Just when Charlotte was complaining in her heart, Rowling reflected it——

"Wait a minute, is the 3D animation you're talking about like "Toy Story"!?"

"Toy Story", released in 1995, was the beginning of a series of brilliant films for Pixar.

In fact, if Charlotte, as a time traveler, had not filmed "Sleepy Hollow" in advance, the North American annual box office champion in 1995 would have belonged to "Toy Story."

——Although this 3D animated film was released on November 22, most of its box office revenue was actually achieved in 1996.

But no matter what, "Toy Story", the first 3D animated film in film history, still made waves in the hearts of movie fans around the world.

Rowling is no exception.

Therefore, after finally realizing that the TV animation Charlotte mentioned would use similar 3D technology, the future magic mother also became excited.

"It would be great if TV animation could have the effect of Toy Story!"

Rowling was walking around excitedly, but Charlotte looked calm.

——For him who comes from the 21st century and has long been accustomed to 3D animation, pure 3D animation is not something worth getting excited about.

Charlotte is simply following the trend of history.

What's more, he also knows that high-end and advanced technology does not always lead to victory.

Especially animation——

In the final analysis, technology is only a means of implementation, and the real decisive factor is always the story itself.

Therefore, Charlotte came to the UK this time to come to Rowling to press for a manuscript——

"Joanna, we are almost done with the preliminary work. The next step is to prepare the scene - in this regard, we are considering taking materials directly from the campuses of Oxford and Cambridge, but -"

Speaking of which, Charlotte Tuqiong saw,

"How are you preparing your story? Don't wait until we have everything ready, your story is not finished yet!"

"this……"

Faced with this kind of real-person reminder, Rowling, who has not yet become a veteran, is obviously not used to it.

"I've actually finished writing the first draft of "The Philosopher's Stone", and I'm currently revising it to adjust the loopholes..."

Seeing the anxious look on the magic mother's face, Charlotte felt a little amused.

However, he didn't say anything——

After all, you don’t need a heavy hammer to play a drum. What's more, for Rowling, who has just escaped from poverty, Charlotte's influence as an employer is still very powerful...

*******

After some communication with J.K. Rowling, Charlotte quickly left Edinburgh.

In London, he participated in the London premiere of The Sixth Sense, further cementing his popularity in the UK.

Afterwards, he discussed with Lao Qiang, and Lao Qiang led the team to continue the filming work of the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" TV animation crew in London.

Charlotte herself returned to the United States.

Because as June 25th approaches, the 22nd Saturn Awards ceremony is about to begin.
