Chatty Hollywood

Since meeting Joanna Rowling and acquiring the film adaptation rights for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," Charlotte has positioned herself as an angel investor.

He wants to use his own power to promote the "Harry Potter" series, and then sell it after its popularity reaches a certain level - isn't this very similar to the way angel investors make profits from their investments?

——Angel investors make money from Series A and B investors who come in later!

Although for some reasons, Warner, who is currently being recruited by Charlotte to take over, has not yet made up its mind, Charlotte's overall plan direction has not changed.

——Warner can’t do it, there’s still Disney!

Besides, Warner, known as "Kai Zihua", has always been slow to respond, so Charlotte can afford to wait.

In short, his current late-stage commercial development plan for the "Harry Potter" series will open up part of it to Warner.

After all, when it comes to painting a cake, you have to let the person being fooled see something first!

——Why else is it said that PPT is the primary productive force in the entrepreneurial world!

It was David Heyman who followed up on this plan from Warner.

"Rowling has previously announced her intention to serialize "Harry Potter". Based on what I know about her, she is likely to write seven. So, if everything goes well, our movie will at least be made. Seven.”

Before the opening ceremony of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Charlotte explained to David Heyman why he wanted to build a large "castle"-like studio.

"For a single movie, it is indeed a waste to build such a large and realistic studio - similar effects can be achieved by combining scene shooting and computer special effects;"

"But if we really shoot seven movies, this studio can be recycled over and over again - this will save a lot more than using pure computer special effects."

"What's more, if all goes well and the "Harry Potter" series is a success, this studio can also be used as a tourist attraction - there will definitely be many fans coming here from all over the world just to see "Hoggy" Woz’s style—when we’re not filming, this place can be opened with admission fees!”

"And when the filming of the entire "Harry Potter" series of movies is completed, we can further strengthen the building here and turn it into an existence similar to Disneyland..."

After being left speechless for a long time by Charlotte with a grand plan, David Heyman had to admit that even if Charlotte Booth, a director, does not make movies, he can still rely on his business ability and eloquence. Make a name for yourself in the business world.

But even so, before seeing the real "Hogwarts", David Heyman was still dubious about Charlotte's words.

——After all, what the other party said was so beautiful that it made him feel a little unreal.

Moreover, after working hard in Hollywood for so many years, how could David Heyman not know the principles of studio construction——

Unless the director has a very clear understanding of the entire story world in his mind, it will be difficult for the studio to completely reproduce the scenes in the movie.

——Most Hollywood studios are actually messy.

Most directors film it and then gradually realize the images and scenes they want on film through editing and post-processing.

——Because it is easier and has a higher error tolerance rate.

Of course, there are directors who really build grand locations in advance. The famous "money-burning little expert" James Cameron is a typical example.

——With the popularity of "Titanic" and its box office explosion, his various anecdotes during the filming of this movie have also become interesting topics in and outside the Hollywood circle.

The imitation Titanic ship that the crew spent 100 days and huge sums of money to build is a typical grand artificial location.

However, even Cameron couldn't make his "Titanic" look beautiful while filming.

——According to some staff members of the "Titanic" crew, they later said that during filming, the entire Rosarito location was more like a huge refugee camp.

The beautiful giant wheel in the movie was, after all, produced by computer special effects.

So, if Cameron is so obsessed with details, how can Charlotte, who has never built a giant set before when filming a movie, do everything he says?

Anyway, David Heyman didn’t have much confidence before.

However, all these doubts have now been shattered by the "Hogwarts Castle" that is so full of fantasy that it is almost dripping with fantasy——

“How on earth is this done!!?”

David Heyman could only think of wonderment.

Only then did he remember that Charlotte Booth seemed to have been an artist before, and was particularly good at setting up scenes...

*************

Of course, "Hogwarts" isn't so realistic just because Charlotte is good at setting the scene.

It's even more because he knows magic.

When arranging this "Hogwarts", the director certainly referred to a lot of dream scenes, and it was possible to achieve such a strong sense of fantasy, but it was because he arranged a lot of them in this "old castle" studio. of magic circle.

These magic circles may have no effect on their own and consume very little mana, but together they successfully brought the filming scene of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" from ordinary reality into a fantasy style.

What's more, Charlotte also brought Francis Farmer here——

After gradually taming the dragon from Malcolm Sanitarium, Charlotte managed to separate Francis, who was composed of many remnant souls, from the dragon's consciousness.

On the one hand, this can reduce the thinking ability of the dragon's own consciousness, making it easier for Charlotte to control the dragon;

On the other hand, it makes Francis Farmer's consciousness more independent, no longer always influenced by the dragon's instinct, but always thinking about whether he is Francis Farmer or a dragon, or something else.

——After all, the question "Who am I" is the ultimate question in the history of human philosophy. Charlotte doesn't think Francis, who is always confused, can figure this out...

In short, Francis Farmer is no longer a dragon. It would be better to say that after she was classified by Charlotte, she became something like a dragon knight——

She can help Charlotte control the dragon, or she can collect spiritual power again and give birth to dragon veins and dragons in the new land.

Therefore, it seems that it is not wrong to call it the "Mother of Dragons"...

——Although the speed of re-breeding dragons may be very long, it is absolutely impossible to succeed in just a few decades.

However, in a short period of time, she could turn a new location into her own territory.

In the territory, both she and Charlotte who have contracted with her will have their strength enhanced, and they can also use some special spells - such as actively shielding other ghosts.

Moreover, she can also make her own territory deliberately imitate the characteristics of other areas.

——Another reason why the current "Hogwarts" can be so realistic is because it borrowed this ability from Francis Farmer.
