Chatty Hollywood

However, the development of things later did not go as Charlotte expected——

Jack the Ripper did commit another murder.

However, he only committed another murder.

——He did not commit six consecutive murders, complete the forbidden dragon-slaying technique, and then extract the power of the earth veins near "Hogwarts" as Charlotte expected.

After committing the second murder, he suddenly disappeared.

This made the police gentlemen of New Scotland Yard very angry, but also very happy.

——I’m annoyed because once the other party disappears, it becomes very difficult for the police to solve the case.

Although he was a copycat, the other party was indeed very cautious in committing the crime and did not leave any useful evidence to the police - of course, this is the idea of ​​​​the police forensics personnel.

——As scientific workers, they could never imagine the possibility of such special existence as ghosts.

In this case, if the police want to solve the case, they can only hope that the other party will continue to commit crimes and eventually leave loopholes.

But now that the other party has disappeared, this possibility naturally disappears.

——It is almost certain that two more unsolved cases will be added to the records of New Scotland Yard.

As for the reason for being lucky, it’s even simpler——

You know, if murders occur continuously, but the police are never able to catch the murderer, in modern society, they will be under great pressure from public opinion.

Now that the other party can take the initiative to stop and disappear, the pressure on the police will be greatly reduced.

——Although many responsible police officers will not be happy about this.

In contrast, the reporters who really took it easy to watch the excitement were completely unhappy——

After all, without such a major case that attracts readers’ attention, everyone has to look for news again.

——It’s so easy to find news! ?

Some reporters even have the urge to create news themselves.

——Just like in the Jack the Ripper case in 1888, three letters were said to be sent by the murderer. Except for the one titled "From Hell", the other two were later confirmed to be written by reporters.

Polly the Parrot had similar thoughts.

However, he is proficient in the use of bugs and has a good understanding of modern forensic science. He knows that the technical power available to the police in this era far exceeds that of the 19th century.

——To put it simply, if he forges a letter from the murderer now, the possibility of being caught by the police is very high.

What's more, even if he can forge the letter perfectly and ensure that he won't be caught by the police, he can't replace the murderer and actually commit the crime!

——Polly has not fallen that far.

At least, his current life is pretty good and there is no need to take that risk.

"Parrot" Polly just regretted that he lost an opportunity to become famous in one battle.

Fortunately, life soon compensated him——

The filming of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has ended and will be officially released in the UK and the United States on July 31st.

——According to the description in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", this day is actually Harry Potter's birthday.

Fans of the original work were naturally very happy to choose such a day to hold the premiere.

And because of the various promotions during the preparation and filming of this film, the media attention has increased.

What's more, the time difference from the end of filming to the release of the movie is very short this time——

"With such a short post-production time, can the quality of the film be guaranteed?"

At the press conference, "Parrot" Polly asked this question directly.

In this regard, director Charlotte’s answer was very confident,

"Many of the post-production special effects for our movie are produced in advance. Therefore, after the actual shooting is completed, we need to do less post-production work - this is why I am confident that "Harry Potter and the Magic" will be released soon. "Stone" was released."

——That’s it!

As a "technical" reporter, "Parrot" Polly still has some understanding of the film shooting process.

He also knew that the other party's approach was not feasible.

However, he is still preparing to question the quality of the film "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the newspaper.

——After all, this can attract readers’ attention more, right?

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

Charlotte also guessed early on that the media would question the quality of the film "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

No way, who made the special effects production in advance really shorten the post-production time significantly?

——Putting a fully produced movie gathering dust in a warehouse will drive up costs.

If it can be released as early as possible, it would be better to release it as soon as possible.

As for the media's doubts, in Charlotte's view, as long as it is not one-sided, a certain degree of debate can actually enhance the effect of publicity.

The final effect depends on the quality of the movie itself.

In short, Charlotte does not intend to interfere too much, except for making people continue to pay attention to the dynamics of the media and avoid the one-sided negative view of the media.

At this time, while supervising the final editing and soundtrack of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", he had already transferred his energy to the preparations for the new movie "The Mummy"——

"The location viewing in the Moroccan desert has been basically completed. Lao Qiang, when you go this time, you must build all the locations in advance according to the requirements I gave."

In the London office, Charlotte arranged work with the assistant director Lao Qiang, who had a wry smile on his face.

"After filming "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," we immediately set up the set for "The Mummy." Charlotte, I think we really need a break after filming this movie!"

"you're right!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Actually, I thought the same way before taking on the movie "The Mummy" - but Mr. Franklin on the green paper cannot be refused!"

"I agree with this!"

Lao Qiang smiled, then looked around, then lowered his voice and said,

"By the way, is there any special magic-related part in the request you gave me this time?"

"Well..."

Charlotte was silent for a moment;

"Yes, yes, but the props that have the greatest impact - including the "Sun Scripture" and "The Black Book of the Dead" are still in production, so you don't have to worry too much about that aspect..."

"All right!"

Lao Qiang shrugged,

"To be honest, I'm a little interested in those spells now - it would be great if you could turn those spells into props so that ordinary people like us can use them!"

"This is a bit difficult!"

Charlotte shook her head, but her eyes were bright.

“But it’s an interesting direction to try!”

…

"Before you try anything interesting, wouldn't it be better to get the Jack the Ripper problem solved first?"

After Lao Qiang left, Alexis, who had been invisible, suddenly appeared and asked angrily.

Charlotte did not answer this question immediately. Instead, he asked another question,

"Alexis, now that you have a physical form, can you stop using the invisible method to enter my office? This way, there will be many cases where no one sees you coming in, but someone sees you going out, and others will misunderstand!"

"What are you afraid of! After all, many secretaries already have this part-time job!"

Miss Valkyrie looked indifferent.

"As long as Sally doesn't get it wrong!"

"……All right!"

Facing the shameless Alexis, Charlotte had nothing to say.
