Chatty Hollywood

In fact, just as investors will not invest only with their own money, and entrepreneurs should not use their own wealth to start a business, there are not many people in the film industry who actually use their own wealth to make movies.

In this regard, not only the seven major Hollywood companies, but also many other film companies are doing the same.

Everyone will introduce some other funds to balance risks and ease cash flow constraints.

And if these funds come from peers in the industry, it's okay, at least everyone will cooperate normally.

If you come from other industries, it will often become a "live profit" where you lose money first and get money after you make money.

——This can almost be said to be a potential rule in Hollywood.

But even so, considering the profits once a Hollywood movie is successful, there are many investors who are willing to suffer this loss.

This is especially true for movies that look like they're going to be a failure even before they're shot. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Now, in Hollywood, Charlotte's movie can almost be said to be a guarantee that it will not lose money.

It can be said that he does "not need to use his own money to make movies."

——As long as he is willing, there are many investors from the seven major companies to other industries who are crying and shouting to invest in his movies.

Especially after "Sherlock Holmes" exceeded one billion US dollars at the global box office, this momentum has become even more obvious.

Of course, considering that bringing in too much investment will dilute the profits she earns, Charlotte will not bring in too much external investment in the movies she will shoot later.

But there is still no problem in making up for the funding gap.

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

Currently, the movies planned by Spectre Studio are nothing more than the "Lord of the Rings" series that Peter Jackson is filming, and "The Island" that has just been added to the schedule. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

In fact, considering that Ovelia was just a few months old, Charlotte planned to temporarily slow down her work pace and spend more time with her wife and children.

However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind kept stopping. Charlotte had no plans for the time being, but someone else came to the door——

First up is Sean Daniel from Universal. He wants to invite Charlotte to direct "The Mummy 2."

Charlotte had expected this situation.

After all, Charlotte's "The Mummy" was a huge profit, and Universal is not a saint who regards money as dirt, so it naturally wants to make a sequel.

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

——Through the first part of "The Mummy", he has already experimented with some of his ideas, and it would not make much sense to make a second one.

But even though he refused firmly, Sean Daniel still invited him to become one of the producers of "The Mummy 2". \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

He actually agreed to this.

In contrast, the second person who came to the door was really beyond Charlotte's expectations——

"Bob, what are you doing!?"

For Robert Iger, who just became the chairman of Disney Pictures this year, Charlotte has met him several times because of his previous cooperation with ABC Television Network.

But he was a little confused as to why the other party came to his door.

On the surface, the other party came to discuss the TV animated version of "Harry Potter" in cooperation with Spectre Studio.

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

But to dispatch the chairman of Disney Pictures for such a matter is really a bit like killing a chicken with a knife.

In particular, the other party asked his assistant to bring a large stack of scripts...\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

*********

"Charlotte, I wonder if you would like to collaborate on a movie with Disney?"

Robert Egger stated his purpose very directly.

And if he does this, there is actually nothing he can do about it.

——Who made Charlotte famous for being secretive in Hollywood and not very fond of attending social parties?

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

——The reason why Jodie Foster, a lace woman known to many people, is considered to have an affair with Charlotte is mainly because she often establishes relationships for Charlotte.

But neither Jodie Foster nor Charlotte's other friends are very close to Disney. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Robert Egger felt that rather than rely on their introduction, it would be better to go directly to the door himself.

——At least it seems more sincere.

For this reason, he specially asked people to select a batch of potential scripts from Disney's script library, hoping to find some that Charlotte would like.

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

And now, the global screening of "Sherlock Holmes" is almost over, and there is still no movement from Charlotte, which shows that the other party does not seem to have any plans this time.

Then, Robert Iger thinks Disney can seduce the great director with a good script.

********\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Of course, Robert Egger would not tell Charlotte his analysis.

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

And Charlotte listened carefully.

——Of course he could see Robert Egger's intention to win over him.

But from his perspective, it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with another of the seven major Hollywood companies besides Warner.

——At least there is one more choice!

In the future, after the film is finished, he will have one more choice when discussing business issues, which will also help him to make more profits.

However, although several of the scripts Robert Egger took over were good, none of them really made him want to break his plan to take a break and get back into filming.

Robert Egger, as a person who is very good at observing words and emotions, also saw this.

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

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

Charlotte didn't know how to describe it for a moment, and finally just shrugged.

"You might as well think so."

"That's it..."

Robert Egger wasn't angry either.

On the one hand, as the new chairman of Disney Pictures, he knows very well that Disney is not very strong in the field of live-action movies at the moment. It's normal for the other party to look down on the scripts he picked out from the script library.

——If these scripts are really good enough, how come they are gathering dust in the script library?

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

So, he smiled and prepared to leave and think of a solution when he went back, but unexpectedly Charlotte suddenly asked a question——

"Bob, I heard that Disneyland has launched a pirate ship-type project. Have you ever considered making a movie about this theme?"
