Chatty Hollywood

The facts are also true--

After listening to Charlotte's willingness to poach the corner, Mr. Westwood happily agreed.

——Unlike a few years ago, the momentum of the rise of the Ghost Party Studios is now very fierce.

It can be said that in addition to the background, there are some shortcomings. This studio that has completed the reorganization of the company is completely comparable to some second-line film and television companies.

Besides, there are well-known directors like Charlotte.

——Such a company is an absolute riser in Hollywood. Mr. Westwood has the opportunity to get on board now, so naturally he won’t have any opinions.

As for the temporary transfer to a TV series producer, he has no opinion.

In fact, many second- and third-tier producers in Hollywood often cross-border in the fields of TV dramas and movies.

Mr. Westwood is no stranger to this.

Of course, the premise is to have a good script——

""death Note"!?"

The name on the script of this script made Mr. Westwood feel a little strange.

"Is this a note taken by a person before death? It sounds a bit literary!"

Mr. Westwood, who didn't know anything, picked up the manuscript and looked at it as he pondered it.

Soon, he discovered that this script and "literary and artistic" are actually incompatible with each other.

——This is a high IQ wit story with horror and fantasy elements.

Moreover, the story is very emotional.

Anyway, Mr. Westwood just watched it for a while, and his blood boiled over. Then--

"Hey, old Tony, I haven't written your name in this notebook yet. Don't look like your heart is numb at any time!"

Seeing Mr. Westwood clutching his chest and panting, Charlotte wondered if he should call an ambulance.

Fortunately, Mr. Westwood waved his hand.

"I'm fine, it's just that the plot is really a bit nervous, I watched a bit..."

"……All right."

Charlotte was really helpless for Mr. Westwood to praise the script in this way.

And Mr. Westwood continued,

"This is indeed a very good story, and I probably understand why you decided to make it into a TV series instead of a movie-indeed, such a large amount of wits and reversal plots, filmed in the movie, the audience will see it. It’s harder, but if you make it into a TV series—"

Mr. Westwood paused.

"It should work very well, it is easy to attract the audience to watch it!"

"Then it's okay!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"So, Tony, it should be okay to be the producer of this TV series after switching over, right?"

"There is no problem. But—"

Mr. Westwood took his emergency medicine from his pocket and shook it at Charlotte.

"Your heart palsy setting is a bit ironic to me!"

"..."

"By the way, how many seasons do you plan to shoot this story?"

Mr. Westwood asked.

Charlotte shook her head.

"Let’s run for two seasons first, and finish filming the story! After all, you also know the mode of the American TV series. How many seasons can be filmed depends on whether the TV station renews the subscription."

"I don't think you need to worry too much about this issue."

Mr. Westwood smiled.

"From my judgment on this script, as long as there are no major mistakes, it is okay to successfully renew the subscription. What's more, we can also borrow your reputation as a major director-what I mean by asking this question is actually if the drama After the episode is really popular, if there are more renewals, do you plan to continue to extend the story?"

"this……"

Charlotte knew that Mr. Westwood was right.

The story structure of American dramas is mostly like this, because the filming operation mode of one episode a week and one season, leading to how long the story can be filmed, the crew themselves do not know.

Those with poor grades may be cut in half in one or two seasons.

——Such dramas are naturally either unfinished or eunuchs. It is difficult to tell the story completely anyway;

And if the movie with good grades, it will become stinky and long because of the constant renewal.

——At the end, the content of the originally conceived and complete story outline has been filmed, and the screenwriters have to write it now, so the excitement of the TV series will be greatly reduced...

This is also the reason why American dramas often focus on series with loose structures and relatively independent plots for each episode.

This is determined by the shooting mode of the American TV series.

And the story content of "Death Note" is precisely not in this mode——

"I think we should finish the story after we tell it!"

Charlotte finally decided,

"After all, the structure of the story is laid out here, and this is actually just a test of the filming of the TV series by our Ghost Party studio, and there is no need to shoot for too long."

——Furthermore, Charlotte also knows that there is a suspicion of "Death Note" in his original world, and the second part of the latter part of it.

In his opinion, this story ends after L's death, which is actually quite perfect. Adding the following content is superfluous.

If you feel that Ye Shenyue’s abnormal S2 values ​​victory is really unacceptable, you can also change that he and L will die together. There is no need to add a paragraph, but it will reduce the excitement of the story...

**********

Mr. Westwood did not object to Charlotte’s decision.

"You are the boss, I will listen to you in this respect."

He smiled at Charlotte, then asked another question.

"Speaking of ~www.NovelMTL.com~Which TV station are you going to show this episode on?"

"HBO!"

Charlotte said directly,

"Our recent cooperation with Warner Pictures has been very close. With them, HBO, which is also owned by Time Warner, should be more expensive for us."

"But HBO is a pay desk, right?"

Mr. Westwood is a little uncertain,

"They have always been famous on a large scale, but when I read the story of "Death Note", it seems that there are not so many large-scale elements, right?"

"That's just the basic framework."

Charlotte shrugged.

"Don’t say anything else, the killing in Death Note alone can set the method of death, which is enough for us to play-we can completely set a variety of death methods with performance art styles for the killed, and then Shoot them one by one."

"...If you do this, you won't be able to make "1000 Ways to Die", right?"

"It can't be that many, there are 26 types, which can match the number of English words!"

"Right!"

Mr. Westwood pondered,

"This seems to be really fun, maybe it will be really popular!"

——No way, because American audiences read more films, they generally have a heavier taste. Even the literary "Infernal Affairs", to the Hollywood remake of "Infernal Affairs", all kinds of swear words fly together, two male protagonists It's even the same woman...

Mr. Westwood understands American audiences’ love of environmentally friendly colors and **** violence, so he finds Charlotte’s plan very attractive, but--

"In this way, in order to set the tone and start the beginning, is it better for you to shoot the first two episodes of "Death Note" by Charlotte yourself?"

"I mean it!"
