Chatty Hollywood

"It should be no problem to release it before the end of 1997!"

Charlotte showed confidence in front of Barry Mendel,

"Actually, if possible, I would like to be able to do it earlier."

——If we don’t go in advance, we might run into the ship of the century called “Titanic”.

——In that case, even if "Constantine" is adapted very well by me, I'm afraid it won't be easy to encounter such a legend in film history.

Anyway, Charlotte has no intention of asking for trouble and trying to test the quality of her movie.

Moreover, with his usual shooting and post-production speed, it is indeed possible to further advance the completion time of the "Constantine" movie...

Of course, Charlotte would not tell Barry Mendel these words in detail.

He just expressed his confidence to encourage Warner's confidence.

Then, he talked about another thing——

"Speaking of which, Barry, are you, Warner, interested in the copyright?"

"!?"

Charlotte's words made Barry Mendel a little confused,

"Do you have the copyright to something and want to sell it to us?"

"Roughly the same!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"I was in the UK before, helping a female writer publish her work, and accordingly obtained the film adaptation rights for the first part of her work. And now -"

"You want to sell to Warner?"

Barry Mendel gets it;

"What's the title of the book?"

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

Charlotte shrugged.

"This book has not been officially published yet.

So you definitely wouldn't know. "

"..."

——You haven’t even been published yet, what are you telling me? ?

Although Barry Mendel didn't say the words, the meaning in his eyes was clear.

Charlotte just smiled at this,

"I know it's impossible for you to buy the film adaptation rights of an unpublished book. However, this does not prevent you from being prepared to observe in advance!"

"That's true."

Barry Mendel nodded.

Observe in advance that Warner can still do it, or at least Mendel can do it himself.

After all, if it is a book with potential for adaptation, it would be very beneficial to Barry Mendel himself to quickly obtain the film adaptation rights.

Once the adaptation is successful, he will not only gain a lot of profits from it, but also take the opportunity to enhance his status in Warner Bros.

So, why not take a look in advance?

Of course, Charlotte will tell Barry Mendel about the Harry Potter series, ultimately for her own benefit.

So, after finishing speaking, he added another sentence,.

"But you have to make a decision early, Barry!"

After saying that, he smiled pretending to be friendly, although what he said was not friendly at all.

"You know I'm not going to tell just the Warners."

"..."

--really! Nothing good happens from the sky!

Barry Mendel sighed inwardly.

******

Charlotte didn't actually tell Barry Mendel everything about "Harry Potter".

At least, he didn’t say anything about the TV animation of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” being produced by his own Spectre studio.

As he said, he will find more production companies to observe the reaction after "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is released.

Shop around!

Charlotte still has some confidence in the potential of this series.

Now, he is actually just making a start for future operations.

In contrast, the cooperation plan for "Constantine" was quickly finalized——

Maybe it’s because the previous four consecutive movies have exploded at the box office and the success rate is as high as 100%. Warner also trusts Charlotte very much.

They quickly signed a formal agreement with Specter Studios in Charlotte.

Then preparations for "Constantine" began.

First of all, the name of the movie was first designated by Charlotte as "Hell Detective", which is basically in line with the comic book adaptation.

While perfecting the script, Charlotte identified the core male protagonist——

Keanu Reeves!

The reason why this actor with great looks but almost no acting skills was appointed to play Constantine is not because he looks handsome when reciting poetry...

You know, in "Hell Detective" in Charlotte's original world, he is the protagonist.

What's more, during the filming of "The Devil's Advocate", the entire crew also encountered unknown ghosts because of Reeves.

Although because of Charlotte's rescue, nothing irreversible happened.

However, the mystery of Keanu Reeves has also been revealed——

It turned out that because of the previous filming of "400 Years of Blood", Reeves was targeted by Dracula, the real vampire hiding in the world.

He placed a curse called "First Embrace" on Keanu Reeves, making him the target of his reincarnation.

And the unknown ghost was attracted by the first embrace curse on Reeves.

The hostile relationship between him and Dracula has lasted for hundreds of years.

Charlotte finally reached an agreement with him to help Keanu Reeves get rid of the curse and destroy Dracula's reincarnation.

Although in Charlotte's opinion, the verbal agreement with the ghost is not necessary to abide by, he is indeed interested in exorcising the curse on Reeves.

——This is the real reason why he chose Keanu Reeves to play Constantine.

He plans to take the opportunity of filming "Hell Detective" to completely lift the curse on Reeves and explore the background of the unknown ghost.

Of course, if she could take the opportunity to catch the famous Count Dracula, Charlotte would never let go of the opportunity.

——Although these are more interests for him than obligations and responsibilities.

"However, we must also consider how to ensure safety if something goes wrong!"

Charlotte thought to herself.

At this time, while he was preparing the script for "Hell Detective", he was also considering other actors.

"Speaking of which, before I traveled through time, the movie "Hell Detective" was known as a smoking cessation movie on the Internet. There were also some UP owners at Station B who deliberately explained it randomly and called it a sequel to "The Devil's Advocate" ——"

"etc!"

A strange inspiration suddenly appeared in Charlotte's mind——

"Should I actually make Hellraiser a sequel to The Devil's Advocate?"

Thinking of this, the director simply started drawing——

Keanu Reeves, the male protagonist Kevin in "The Devil's Advocate" and the male protagonist Constantine in "Hell Detective";

Al Pacino, Milton, or Lucifer, in "The Devil's Advocate" seems to be playing Lucifer, the King of Hell, in "Hell Detective"...

"Yeah, it works!"

With an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, Charlotte put down her pen.
