Chatty Hollywood

In fact, Charlotte's original "The Mummy" did not use this new technology because of the early shooting time.

Even they don’t use much motion capture technology.

Therefore, in that version of "The Mummy", the expression of the mummy incarnate by the High Priest Imorton was rather dull.

It wasn't until he was transformed into a human form in the plot that his facial expressions gradually enriched.

However, since Charlotte himself shot this version of "The Mummy", since he knows the solution to technical problems, how can he not use it?

——After the technicians of the current motion capture team were stuck with the problem of facial expression capture, he immediately stated the ending plan in "Avatar".

Although due to the different times, some hardware equipment exhibits not ideal, but the basic effect can still be achieved——&1t;i>&1t;/i>

After the re-experiment, the technicians were pleasantly surprised to find that the facial expressions of the "mummy" were really enriched...

In this case, the use of new technologies will naturally become an inevitable choice.

——This aspect can further improve the film quality of "The Mummy", on the one hand, it can also bring some long-term benefits to Charlotte.

For example, patents.

However, Charlotte applied for patented technologies for all the new special effects technologies used in the process of filming "The Mummy" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"-except for magic special effects and other magic-based ones.

It's like this technology that uses a miniature camera hung on the head to enhance facial expression motion capture.

This trick was actually learned by him from James Cameron, or James Cameron in his original world. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Cameron, as one of Hollywood's leading directors, certainly earns a lot of money. However, this man's obsessive-compulsive disorder and detailed personality doomed him not to be a prolific director.

So, is he not very rich like many big directors who are world-renowned but don't have a lot of assets in nature?

The answer is negative in a sense.

Because Cameron, in addition to film revenue, also holds a large number of film-related technology patents, especially 3d film.

It can be said that after "Avatar", a small part of the production cost of every real 3D movie belongs to James Cameron's income.

——As the pioneer of Hollywood film industry technology, James Cameron is certainly a blue ray. Every film is under great pressure, but his income is also great. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Latecomers have to learn to use the new technology he has developed, either by researching it from scratch, or by spending money to buy it from him-most film producers have adopted the second option from the perspective of cost.

This has become an important source of James Cameron's personal income.

It can be said that in the history of Hollywood, there are only two people who have enjoyed the most benefits of pioneering new technologies——

One is James Cameron.

And the other one is George Lucas.

It's just that the father of Star Wars can become one of the most influential and wealthy people in Hollywood. In addition to the movie special effects technology company Industrial Light and Magic he created, it is more because he has the "Star Wars" IP.

——The status of this series in the eyes of Americans can be said to be no less than that of "Journey to the West" to the Chinese. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

In contrast, although James Cameron also has the "Terminator" series, the copyright of this series is not in his hands.

His income comes more from the various new technology applications he researched out when he was shooting movies.

And now, learning from the experience of James Cameron in her original world, Charlotte will apply for patents for the new technology she developed during the filming process as long as she has the opportunity.

Although it stands to reason, most of these new technologies are not personally researched by Charlotte. Most of the time, he only exists as a funder and instructor.

However, the large number of patents that those large technology companies apply for each year are also owned by technology companies, and not under the names of real technicians.

Even Edison, the King of Ming, one of the founders of General Electric, most of his more than two thousand Ming Mings were actually not all made by himself, but owed to his laboratories. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

However, the world only knows Edison...

It's hard to say right or wrong, it can only be said that this is how the world works.

*********

Of course, because the era of 3D movies has not yet arrived, Charlotte currently has only some patents on special effects and motion capture technologies.

Not too much, but there has been a certain accumulation.

In fact, Charlotte has already thought about it. After shooting "The Mummy" this time, he is going to upgrade the Ghost Party studio to a formal company.

This company will be responsible for the licensing of some of Charlotte's technology.

——Of course, there is no way for the special effects of the spell.

In short, after five years of hard work, eight consecutive films have been produced (among which "The Mummy" has not yet been finished shooting), Charlotte has already completed the initial accumulation -&1t;i>&1t;/i>

In terms of personal capital, Charlotte has actually accumulated a net worth of over 100 million U.S. dollars without knowing it.

This is mainly derived from the box office and other peripheral revenues of the three films "Sixth Sense", "Hell Detective" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" ~www.NovelMTL.com~Previous "Deadly Bend" and "Day of Death" Happiness and Broken Head Valley, although both box-office hits, the copyright of those movies is not in Charlotte's hands.

As a director, Charlotte is essentially just a senior wage earner.

Therefore, although the three movies made Charlotte famous in Hollywood and broke away from the state of being poor and white, it does not matter how much money he earned.

At best, it can only be said to have reached the average level of Hollywood.

What really made his net worth soaring was the following three films independently produced in the name of the Ghost Party Studio——

Although there are investments from other film companies or investors, the other party’s share is more concentrated on the film box office income. The various peripheral income in the later period, including the income from DVDs and video tapes, is still all according to the industry’s custom. Belongs to Charlotte.

Even if Charlotte still subordinates its own part and distributes part of it to the core members of the Ghost Party studios such as Lao Gun, but the success of three consecutive independent filming movies has caused Charlotte's net worth to skyrocket. Eventually among the ranks of billionaires.

Of course, like all wealthy people, most of Charlotte's billionaires are not cash.

——After all, the IRS hates wealthy people hoarding cash in their accounts.

In this country that advocates consumption, anyone who dares to do so will inevitably be taxed heavily by the Internal Revenue Service.

Therefore, Charlotte has also done a lot of consumption and investment in the process of making money, which makes his net worth have a lot of fixed assets and investment components——
