Chatty Hollywood

The story of "Death Note" comes from Japan in Charlotte's original world.

This is a very interesting story. There is a **** of death in the story. As long as you write a person's real name in the **** of death's notebook and know his appearance, you can manipulate the time, place and method of the person's death.

Of course, the same is in the form of writing on notes.

And if you don’t write down the time, place, and method of the subsequent death, the person whose name is written down will soon die of cardiac palsy.

The story of "Death Note" is based on this setting as the core, a comic story that takes away the horror and detective elements.

Since its inception, this story has been very popular, and has since been adapted into movies, animations and other forms. Even Hollywood has bought the right to adapt this story.

——Although the later Hollywood film adaptation can only be described as a mess, but the potential of the story or the script is beyond doubt.

Of course, Charlotte will not just copy the works of the previous world into this world just because of her popularity.

Especially this kind of story script that has not been proven in the North American market.

——Who made him mix in Hollywood all his life?

He will come up with the story of "Death Note", which has something to do with spells and ghosts.

——At the premiere of "The Mummy" before, he used the "Mummy" he made to get a glimpse of the secrets of the gates of hell.

Even if he was quickly discovered by the Lord of Hell, he did steal a trace of death power.

This strand of power was stored by him in the "Black Book of the Dead".

In reality, the "Black Sutra of the Dead", which was reduced by him, is exactly the appearance of a black notebook.

——It looks very similar to the death note.

This reminded Charlotte of this popular story in East Asia.

After that, he thought about whether to use the movie of "Death Note" to transform the power of death that he had sealed in the "Black Book of the Dead".

In that way, Charlotte will not only have a new magic weapon in his hands, but also allow him to further understand the nature of the rules represented by the Lord of Hell, so as to facilitate future confrontation with the opponent, which is definitely a two-shot.

However, after careful consideration, he gave up this plan.

On the one hand, he was worried about being discovered by the Lord of Hell.

After all, he has used the method of casting spells in movies many times. If the Lord of Hell really pays attention, he can discover the clues when the movie premieres at the latest.

——This will make his original plan difficult to complete.

On the other hand, the story of "Death Note" is actually not so suitable for adaptation into a movie.

The exaggerated reasoning and intellectual confrontation elements, if filmed in the form of a movie, it is difficult to capture the charm of the story.

After all, the length of the movie is limited.

And even if you can barely shoot that kind of witty effect, 80% will become a relatively niche movie genre.

The niche movies are not conducive to Charlotte casting spells or refining magic weapons.

As a commercial film director who has already understood the laws of the market, Charlotte knows very well that adding a certain amount of wit and reversal plot to the film can indeed make the film's story look more exciting and interesting.

But if there are too many elements of wit and reversal, it will really become a dead brain-burning movie——

Since the concept of brain-burning movies was put forward, Hollywood has also produced many good similar movies, such as "Winning Blackjack" and "Closed Island".

These movies have a good reputation, but except for Christopher Nolan's "Inception", they generally have average box office results.

To put it bluntly, it is not very popular with the audience.

why?

The main reason is the high and low frequency.

After all, audiences go to the movies to relax, not to challenge themselves.

If things like brain burning can be welcomed by the general public, anti-intellectualism in the United States and even in the world will not be as popular as a virus.

Charlotte knows that what audiences want to see is not really a brain-burning movie that only smart people can understand, but the kind of “brain-burning movie” that you can understand and make you feel smart. ".

——Charlotte's original time and space, "Inception" is precisely because of this, it has become a classic of commercial films.

In contrast, although the Japanese version of the "Death Note" movie has good results, it is still unable to break away from the niche community.

Besides, the whole world knows that the film tastes of island nations are very unique——

Not to mention some physiological enlightenment films, just considering the fact that the top ten annual box office in this country is often occupied by animated theatrical editions, you can see the peculiarities of the Japanese film market...

Anyway, after consideration, Charlotte finally decided to abandon the film model and adapt "Death Note" into an American drama to have a try.

In this way, on the one hand, this complicated wit-fighting story has enough time to tell, and repeated reversals are no longer a problem.

——After all, successful American dramas such as "Prison Break" rely on broken chapters at the end of each episode. No, suspense attracts the audience's attention.

In this regard, "Death Note" can also be imitated.

On the other hand, after entering the new millennium, the influence of TV series in the European and American entertainment markets is gradually rising——

"Game of Thrones" is comparable to the first-line commercial production, not to mention, it is the "Detective Sherlock" in the British drama, which also made people all over the world know "Volume" Benedict Cumberbar. strange.

——Charlotte feels that if the TV series are made well, chances are they will have the same influence as a commercial blockbuster, and it will be more lasting.

In this way, ~www.NovelMTL.com~ he can also take the opportunity to refine the power of death that he has stolen.

Moreover, because TV shows are not as conspicuous as movies, it is easier for him to avoid the attention of the Lord of Hell...

**********

Of course, after adapting "Death Note" into a TV series, Charlotte, as a well-known director, although still able to dominate, is no longer suitable for shooting by himself.

Just like James Cameron’s "Dark Angels" or Gilmour Del Toro’s "Blood", these well-known directors who went to the TV drama circle to make money and cultivate usually only shot the first few episodes of the gathering and some For some particularly important episodes, other parts still have to be handed over to ordinary directors.

Charlotte is no exception.

——In fact, he didn't have enough time for him to film an entire TV series.

Although unlike the film’s producer-centric system, the core screenwriter in the American drama circle has the most power, but the script of "Death Note" originally came from Charlotte, and he himself is the core screenwriter, so there is no need to worry about being constrained in this regard.

At this time, it is very important to find a trusted producer to help stare at the crew without losing control.

Charlotte chose Mr. Westwood.

The friendship between Bi Jing and the two sides is placed there.

As a filmmaker, Mr. Westwood has been tepid except for the two collaborations with Charlotte.

For him like this, it is not unacceptable to switch to being a producer of a TV series.

What's more, he doesn't really like the internal atmosphere of the new line company, he just couldn't find a better place to go.

In this case, Charlotte feels that it is still possible to ask the other party to help her produce the TV series...
