Chatty Hollywood

In fact, it is normal for Disney to notice "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

After all, the ABC television network that broadcasts this animation has been acquired by Disney.

The offices of the entertainment departments of the two companies are even separated by a pedestrian bridge.

Since the ratings of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" on ABC are so good, Disney will naturally not fail to notice.

In fact, Charlotte has negotiated several times with ABC and Disney on the follow-up commercial development of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

However, before, Disney was more concerned about the peripheral development of the "Harry Potter" series.

——To put it simply, after the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" became popular, Disney found it profitable and wanted to get in between.

From Charlotte's point of view, with the help of a large group like Disney to promote, the opening up to the surroundings will be smoother.

Although some benefits need to be divided, the benefits he can get are actually increased after the overall cake is made bigger.

Therefore, in principle, Charlotte is not opposed to cooperating with Disney.

However, he didn't want to tie up too much all at once.

Especially before the overall commercial value of the "Harry Potter" series has not been revealed.

At this time, signing a long-term agreement directly with Disney will only sell the gold at the price of cabbage.

For this reason, Charlotte specially sent Alexis across the Atlantic to talk to J.K. Rowling in person.

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement--

Never sell copyright cheaply!

Especially before the commercial potential of the "Harry Potter" series has not been fully revealed.

Therefore, the Peripheral Product Cooperation Agreement signed between the Ghost Party Studios and Disney or ABC is more of a one-year agreement.

In this way, as the influence of the "Harry Potter" series deepens, the Ghost Party Studio, as the copyright owner, can also increase the copyright amount or even change the collaborators altogether.

-Such an agreement is more free.

But because of this, Disney may feel provoked--

After all, Disney at this time is still under the rule of tyrant Michael Eisner. Although it is making children's money, its business style is very tough.

——In short, Disney did not negotiate with Charlotte on the follow-up live-action movie.

Until "Hell Detective" was released.

The box office that broke 100 million in the first week made Disney aware of Charlotte's powerful ability and vision.

This makes Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which he has always recommended, been valued again.

In particular, with the continued popularity of the TV animation version and Random House’s agency for the American version of the novel, the influence of the "Harry Potter" series in North America has indeed strengthened...

Coupled with seeing that Warner has been hesitating and paddling, Disney naturally started to dig in.

"Unfortunately, both Warner and Disney have given insufficient "sincerity".

Charlotte twisted her fingers and signaled the essence of "sincerity" to Alexis.

In response, Miss Valkyrie just shrugged.

"Perhaps in their eyes, the commercial value of the Harry Potter series is not enough!"

"So, we still have to continue to improve the commercial value of this series!"

Charlotte sighed.

To increase commercial value and demonstrate commercial potential, it is by no means just waiting.

This requires a lot of effort-

For J.K. Rowling, continuing to publish a sequel is the best choice.

In this regard, Rowling has already revealed her plan to write seven books.

After all, according to the setting in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", Hogwarts has a total of seven grades. Each grade of the protagonist Harry Potter will produce a novel, which sounds natural. matter.

As a traveler, Charlotte naturally knew this for a long time. However, Rowling was able to make up his mind so early, he was still very supportive.

Especially, after he communicated with the other party, he found that the other party seemed to refer to the characters in the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to some extent...

Although Charlotte’s animated version was largely influenced by Rowling’s original work in his original world...

In short, this is actually a vicious circle of space-time influence comparable to the grandfather's paradox.

However, Charlotte is neither a theoretical physicist nor a science fiction writer, and is not very interested in this.

In terms of showing the commercial value of the "Harry Potter" series, what he needs to do is to continue to improve the TV animation of the "Harry Potter" series.

After getting the renewal and reaching 24 episodes in the first season, the story content of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can be all broadcast in one season of TV animation.

This means that in the next few seasons, the sequels of "The Chamber of Secrets" and "Prisoner of Azkaban" must be used.

In this regard, naturally the support of the original author J·K·Rowling is also needed.

Rowling agreed very simply.

Both the relevant authorization agreement and the timely support for the follow-up plot were agreed.

——The current magic mother, because she hasn't had the wealth of money later, hasn't developed the bad habit of procrastinating.

However, she agreed so easily, not only because the two sides have been working together happily before.

More importantly, after going through "Guillotine Valley", "Sixth Sense" and "Hell Detective", which is currently being screened, Rowling has realized that Charlotte is a very powerful commercial film director——

If Charlotte is willing to direct the "Harry Potter" series of live-action movies, it will surely be able to make it into a blockbuster with a high box office and a huge impact.

——Perhaps it can be compared with the "Star Wars" series.

At that time, Rowling, as the original author, could naturally follow the tide.

Therefore, it is Rowling who is expressing her sincerity to simply agree to cooperate with Charlotte.

In fact, Mama Magic has expressed to Charlotte more than once that she hopes that he will direct the live-action movie of the Harry Potter series.

Before, Charlotte had not been very willing to--

After all, this kind of serialized commercial film does not really need a strong director.

——At least in the sequel, it is not very necessary.

However, because of the serialization, the plot of the movie can't deviate too much from the original story-otherwise, the plot of the subsequent sequel may not match.

This kind of restriction is very deadly, and movies that cannot reflect their own role~www.NovelMTL.com~ are naturally not liked by directors who have aspirations.

The same is true for Charlotte.

However, after Xu Fu was sealed, his thoughts changed——

At least, for the sage's stone, this first "Sorcerer's Stone", Charlotte needs to end in person.

A few days ago, he even revealed this idea to J.K. Rowling.

Rowling was naturally very happy.

Although there is no strong group to support, the movie of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" still can't start immediately——

and many more!

Charlotte suddenly realized that she seemed to be caught in a logical vicious circle.

Why must we wait for everything to be determined before we can start shooting "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"?

He suddenly had a bold idea...()
