Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 461 Game Plan

Of course, Rachel couldn't imagine that Charlotte could cheat through something like the dream world.

Just like she couldn't imagine that the Quidditch match in the movie could be so thrilling.

"It's just like a real team game!"

Rachel sighed.

As a British woman, Rachel knows a lot about football due to the influence of the Premier League.

She didn't expect that the footage of a fantasy game in the movie could actually give the feeling of a professional league.

Especially the last-minute scene of Harry Potter competing with his opponent for the Golden Snitch reminded her of some games that were reversed in the last three minutes.

"It would be great if I could see the whole game!"

Rachel felt a little regretful.

As an actor, she certainly knew that due to cost considerations, the movie would not and would not be able to film the entire Quidditch match.

——After all, Quidditch needs to fly in the sky, and if you shoot the entire scene, it means burning funds.

Besides, after all, everyone went to the cinema to watch a movie, not to watch a Quidditch match.

In this regard, Rachel felt that she could only regret it.

In fact, there were many people in the screening room who held the same views as Rachel.

Most of them are fans of the "Harry Potter" series and are also fans of team sports such as football and rugby. The footage of this Quidditch match gave them a sense of joy. a feeling of.

Unfortunately, they also know that it is somewhat unrealistic for film producers to purely produce a virtual Quidditch match.

However, having said that, this is not a completely realistic world——

************

"You're going to animate an entire Quidditch match!?"

Charlize didn't know how to react to Charlotte's plan.

- Interesting, maybe! But is it really possible?

Charlotte smiled at the curious expression on the girl's face.

After talking about things related to Jack the Ripper and reminding Charlize that she might encounter ghosts during the filming of Eileen Wuornos' biopic, Charlotte talked about her strange plan in order to lighten the atmosphere.

——This is not a whim of his.

In fact, Charlotte was thinking about an issue as early as the filming of the movie——

How to sell DVDs?

——With the development of technology and market, by now in 1998, the tendency of DVD to replace video tapes has become very obvious.

It should be said that the cost of this kind of audio-visual products is lower, the picture definition is higher, and the profit margins left for Hollywood film producers are larger.

However, this assumes that DVDs can be sold.

As for a movie like "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," it's hard to say whether its DVD will sell well.

True fans will of course collect.

It is not strange to even collect three copies - one for collection, one for teaching and one for personal use.

But for those who are not die-hard fans, it’s hard to say.

You know, unlike ordinary movie adaptations, in order to fit in with the plot of the subsequent series, the plot of the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is almost the same as the original work.

Its main attractions are the various magnificent fantasy visual effects and Charlotte's storytelling.

No matter how clear the DVD version is, when played at home, it is difficult to have the same visual effects as in a movie theater.

In this case, would people who are not die-hard fans still want to collect DVDs?

Of course, Charlotte feels that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can still achieve the DVD sales of a commercial blockbuster.

However, how can Charlotte be satisfied with average sales?

——This movie is fully led by Spectre Studio, and it can almost be said to be independently produced.

Correspondingly, peripheral income is almost exclusive to them - of course,

Rowling, the original author, still gets some credit.

But generally speaking, Charlotte will get the majority of the DVD revenue, so why would he think the revenue is too much?

Therefore, he has been thinking about how to increase DVD sales for a long time——

In terms of conventional means, he is not lacking.

Whether it is various interesting clips or some clips that are not in the movie, they will be included in the DVD version.

But Charlotte felt that this alone was not enough.

So, he thought of a special method——

Create a complete Quidditch game using the Evil God's Human Skin Book!

This is a method that only he can play well.

After all, with the help of the evil god's human skin book, the cost of producing TV animation for Spectre Studio is simply a bargain.

This allows them to afford the cost of producing a complete Quidditch game animation, unlike ordinary animation studios where producing such full game animation is completely outweighing the gain and loss...

In short, Charlotte feels that this will be a very good selling point in the DVD.

In particular, in order to further increase profits, Charlotte is also planning to package the DVD of the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and the TV animation (season 1) into a collector's edition and sell them together.

This specially produced competition animation will only be collected in the collector's edition.

——Of course, the collector’s edition will be more expensive.

Charlotte felt that as a result, many people would take the bait.

Moreover, in order to make the audience aware of the existence of complete game animation, Charlotte is also planning to broadcast a real Quidditch game animation on ABC TV after the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is released.

In fact, he has sent people to communicate with the TV station in advance, and it is said that ABC is very interested.

However, they still hope to wait until "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is released and make a final decision based on specific word-of-mouth reviews.

Charlotte has nothing to object to at this point.

And he is not worried that the movie will fail at the box office or fail in terms of reputation.

——After all, there is a version of the original world for reference. And Charlotte also knows how well her movie is going.

What he is really worried about is things related to ghosts——

"I don't know if I can successfully generate the "Philosopher's Stone" this time. I have to rely on this to completely complete the seal on Xu Fu!"

Seeing on the big screen that the three Harry Potters had passed the three-headed dog of hell and the devil's web levels, Charlotte realized that it was time to enter the movie world.

but--

"Will you take me in with you this time?"

Charlize, who was sitting next to him, saw his intention and spoke directly in a low voice.

"Sally, you-"

"What, aren't you welcome?"

The girl tilted her head, with a hint of smile on her face.

"……how come!?"

Charlotte, who understood what Charlize was thinking, said nothing more. He just grabbed the girl's hand, and the two of them entered the movie world together... ()
