Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 491: The Return of Holmes

Charlotte and Neil Gaiman have kept in touch since they met at the Saturn Awards.

The two have a lot of common language in the field of myths and legends about various countries.

Neil Gaiman even invited Charlotte to work with him to complete a book he was conceiving--

"American Gods".

The conception of this story is extremely grand, involving countless myths and legends, and it seems to be a completely independent fantasy world.

Neil Gaiman felt that he could not perfectly complete the idea of ​​the world by himself, so he wanted to pull Charlotte together.

Charlotte agreed.

Not only because the two have a good relationship, but also because he also discovered that the worldview of the story designed by Neil Gaiman is actually somewhat similar to his magic theory from a certain angle.

——There is a feeling that magic comes from the human heart.

Charlotte felt that there might be room for him to operate.

However, he did not expect that "American Gods" actually only wrote part of it, and Neil Gaiman committed suicide for no reason.

And the other party was still in the suicide note and asked Charlotte to continue finishing the "American Gods".

——This is obviously not quite right.

If the previous suicide of Irene Warnos only worried Charlotte, then the death of Neil Gaiman really sounded the alarm in his heart.

"Speaking of which, the way Neil Gaiman committed suicide has something to do with you."

David Hyman on one side didn’t know what Charlotte was thinking. He just continued,

"He was sitting on the floor of the washing room and cut his wrist artery with broken glass-it was like Constantine in your film "Hell Detective."

"Speaking of which, you were able to collaborate with Warner in the movie "Detective of Hell", thanks to Neil Gaiman for bringing it together..."

After David Hyman's words, Charlotte has not listened carefully because he has captured a hidden key point——

The way Neil Gaiman committed suicide is very similar to the way Constantine committed suicide when he saved the heroine Angela in the movie "Detective of Hell".

Thinking about who Constantine met after that, Charlotte felt that the cause of Neil Gaiman’s death was even more erratic...

*********

In contrast, Alexis has been going well in the past few days.

Although I am a little dissatisfied with Charlotte's use of her as a letter from time to time, Miss Valkyrie also knows where her strengths lie, and she is still conscientiously completing the entrusted work——

As soon as she returned to the United States, she immediately contacted Patty Jenkins to inform her that she had been selected as the director of the "Devil's Head" project and asked her to immediately begin preparations.

Patty Jenkins did not doubt or refuse.

After all, although she received direct orders from Charlize most of the time, she was indeed from the Ghost Party Studio.

So, it is not strange for Patty Jenkins to receive orders from the Ghost Party Studio.

Especially the relationship between Charlotte and Charlize, many people in Hollywood also know...

In short, the cooperation of Patty Jenkins made Alexis do a lot of work behind.

They quickly identified the relevant staff and even the candidates for supporting roles, and even the script, Patty Jenkins immediately came up with a version.

"I wrote this in advance, and it has already been filed with the screenwriters' union."

The newly appointed female director is a bit embarrassed and authentic.

"I followed Irene Vonos's case for several years, during which time I will do some other preparations."

"I see!"

Alexis nodded.

According to this situation, she felt that the project of "The Devil" might be finished quickly, after all, in the past few years, Patty Jenkins and Charlize had already prepared too many things...

Of course, no matter how fast, the Oscars at the beginning of 1999 will not be able to catch up. After all, it looks like Christmas in 1998 is approaching.

——In such a short period of time, not to mention movies, even an episode of a TV series is difficult to finish.

"Charlize and Charlotte's goal should be to film and release in 1999, and strive to make a difference at the Oscars in 2000!"

Alexis pondered for a moment, and felt hopeful...

***********

However, no matter what the future is, at least at the Oscars in early 1999, Charlotte is unlikely to do much.

No way, who told him to make and release only one movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in 1998?

Even though this movie still continued the characteristics of Charlotte’s box office explosion, and suppressed Spielberg’s "Saving Private Ryan", once again Charlotte won the North American box office championship, but film science and art The judges of the college have never changed their mindset that they hate this kind of pure commercial blockbusters.

Especially last year James Cameron also used an epic commercial blockbuster "Titanic" to make Oscar, who has always despised commercial films, kneel down and sing a conquest...

Now, under the influence of rebellious psychology, the judges will certainly ignore most commercial blockbusters.

—— "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is no exception.

Of course, Charlotte did not expect to win the Oscar statuette with the help of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

For him, in addition to some magical purposes, this is a movie purely for money ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and the "Mummy" he is currently making is the same.

Although I think the recent situation is a bit strange, Charlotte can only supervise the post-production of "The Mummy" without hurriedly before figuring out the specific reasons.

After discussing with the world, the schedule of "The Mummy" was set in May 1999.

——For Charlotte, time is already abundant.

As a result, while taking this opportunity to investigate the issue about the Lord of Hell and Jack the Ripper, he also prepared a draft of the script for "The Detective Sherlock Holmes".

"You really can't relax!"

When he showed the draft of the script to Old Gun, the other party couldn't help sighing.

As expected, from the beginning of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to the current "Mummy", the entire Ghost Party studio has been operating at high speed, and has not had a good rest for a long time.

Under this circumstance, if someone like Lao Qiang is older and has family members, it will naturally complain.

Charlotte understands this very well.

In fact, when he and Charlize were tired of being together some time ago, they all wanted to completely abandon their jobs. From then on, it feels like the king is not going to court early, let alone other people?

This is natural burnout caused by long periods of no vacation.

In response, Charlotte could only smile awkwardly.

"This is just a new plan. There is still not a short time before the official start. Before that, I will let everyone have a good rest! I will show it to you now, just to ask for your opinion."

"That's it!"

The old gun nodded.

"The story is very good, but when it comes to classic characters like Sherlock Holmes, the actors will be deducted if they are not charming enough. Who are you going to play?"

"Well..."
