Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 654: I hate it but I also like it

"It is said that when Charlotte Booth agreed to cooperate with Disney on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, he once proposed a grand trilogy plan and wanted to persuade Disney to agree to invest."

The agent said in a recalling tone,

"Although Disney has great confidence in Director Charlotte, such a grand investment plan still worries everyone including President Michael Eisner, so they have not agreed to the plan for the time being."

"This is a normal thing!"

Jenny nodded,

"Not to mention the investors of Disney, even I, who have nothing to do with it, don't have the guts to believe it when it comes to the continuous shooting of the trilogy. Director Charlotte, on the other hand, wants to do this. He is very courageous. really big!"

"It's normal for him to be bold!"

The agent's voice was low and authentic,

"Continuous success will give people endless confidence. Since Charlotte Booth has made nine movies in seven years, all of them have been successful. It is normal for him to be so confident now. The thing - what I'm more curious about is, Disney clearly rejected his suggestion before, so why did it change its mind now?"

——When the first movie was just halfway through shooting, we started to prepare to negotiate with the actors about contracts for the next two sequels. Obviously, if Disney had not changed its mind and was still planning to watch another film after filming, it would not do such a thing that would only increase the investment risk.

Even if the agent didn't say it, smart Jenny could understand it.

However, unlike the agent who was outside the crew and didn’t know much about the filming process, Jenny, who had been filming with the crew, thought of a possibility——

"Could it be that Disney's senior executives have seen the sample film currently shot by Director Charlotte, as well as his adjusted script and shooting plan, and their confidence in his trilogy plan has been further enhanced?"

——Jenny has personal experience with this situation.

Although when I first joined the group, I was very uncomfortable with the weird rules promulgated by the director.

But by now, Jenny has adapted to putting a shallow plate of fresh milk in front of the window every night before going to bed.

- Even when you wake up in the morning, you are occasionally surprised to see the fresh milk disappear. But considering there are so many stray cats and dogs in Los Angeles, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

The point is, as the filming progressed, Jenny was completely impressed by the director's talent and various whimsical ideas.

She is now increasingly convinced that "Pirates of the Caribbean" will become a very successful movie, and that she is right to participate in the filming of this movie.

In fact, this is not just Jenny’s idea.

The entire crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is currently in a stage of continued growth in morale and confidence.

——Nothing but because they saw the hope of success.

Although the clips shot on the set are messy and have not been edited or produced, people with a little knowledge can still see that under the guidance of director Charlotte, the actors' performances are getting better and better.

And many of the clips, even if they are not integrated into the plot of the movie, are very interesting to watch independently.

This situation can be seen by everyone on the crew.

——Of course, there are quite a few successful movies that not all members of the filming crew like, but obviously, when all members of the filming crew like it, the success rate of the movie is much higher.

In this case, everyone's confidence in success will naturally be greater.

——And Disney’s top executives, will the same happen? ?

——Especially they can see the director’s carefully edited samples! ?

"If it were any other director, I would definitely say how is this possible-"

The agent smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"But the problem is that director Charlotte Booth has obviously exceeded my previous expectations by so much that I can't deny the possibility - or rather,

This is the only possibility. "

"And after eliminating all impossible factors——"

"——The remaining results, no matter how incredible, are the truth!"

The agent knew that Jenny was mentioning a famous quote from Sherlock Holmes, so he picked it up casually.

He really couldn't deny this.

However, remembering that Charlotte had directed "Sherlock Holmes" before, the agent's mood became even worse——

"It's really a headache to work with a director who is extremely capable, too strong, and often acts out of common sense."

He couldn't help but press his temples,

"I hate Charlotte Booth!"

"..."

It took a lot of effort for Jenny to suppress the laughter that had already surged to her lips.

——The girl feels that her agent, who has always been methodical and well-organized, is now like a child who occasionally loses his temper when he encounters failure.

"It seems like one thing really brings down another thing!"

In Jenny's mind, she couldn't help but think of Beast Fighting Chess.

"I wonder who can restrain Director Charlotte?"

**********

Philip Biermann also wanted to know this.

It wasn't out of curiosity, or because the conflict with Charlotte had escalated, it was just that the job that the director had given him recently gave him a headache.

——In fact, after clarifying his position as a yes man, Philip no longer has the need to conflict with Charlotte.

During the filming process after "Pirates of the Caribbean", he also saw Charlotte's talent and ability.

——Whether as a director or a producer, there is nothing to criticize.

Especially after seeing the wonderful samples edited by the other party, Philip has become a believer in the "Charlotte Cult".

——This name is just a joke, but there are many film company executives and producers in Hollywood who have similar ideas.

Their purpose is——

There's no movie a Charlotte director couldn't make work.

If so, add a Charlotte producer!

——Philip Biermann didn’t believe it until he saw some samples of “Pirates of the Caribbean”.

It was obviously an unfinished rough cut, but thanks to director Charlotte's strong narrative and rhythm control skills, Philip felt that he could understand it all, and found it very interesting.

Only then did he understand what was going on with the film review published by the well-known film critic Roger Ebert that was almost completely complimentary to Director Charlotte.

——With such a strong narrative and rhythm control ability, as long as his luck is not too bad, Director Charlotte is indeed unlikely to fail.

However, it was precisely because of Charlotte's ability to ensure that the movie would remain undefeated at the box office that it caused trouble for Philip Biermann.

——After all, Philip is not the only one who has such a vision.

His boss, Disney Pictures Chairman Robert Iger, also has this vision...
