Chatty Hollywood

Since Charlotte was visiting the "Lord of the Rings" crew in New Zealand at this time, the game he asked Stern to lead the game department to produce was naturally a game related to the movie.

After all, Spectre Studio's policy in making games has always been to link up movies and games - if there are movies, make corresponding games.

——In this way, one publicity cost can be used as two, and the design plans of some special effects scenes used in the movie can also be shared, which is naturally the best choice.

What's more, based on Charlotte's memory, in his original time and space, there did exist an online game with the theme of "Lord of the Rings", and the production level was considered to be sophisticated, but because "World of Warcraft" was rampant around the world at that time, there was no competition. It’s just this masterpiece produced by Blizzard.

——That's right, what Charlotte wants the game department of her studio to produce this time is exactly an online game RPG masterpiece like the "World of Warcraft" version.

However, the world view and story of "The Lord of the Rings" will be used.

——This time, Charlotte plans to go the way of Blizzard, leaving Blizzard with no way to go.

Of course, it is not that easy to replace the historical status of "World of Warcraft".

After all, before "World of Warcraft", other 3D online RPGs had appeared, but it was this game that finally became popular. There is a reason for this.

Therefore, Charlotte does not necessarily have the ambition to make this "Lord of the Rings" themed game reach the heights of "World of Warcraft".

But if you can make some extra money, why not?

You know, the first decade of the 21st century was the most glorious era for computer online games.

At its most pretentious, it can even be said that you can make money by making a game.

How could Charlotte pass up this opportunity to make money?

What's more, Charlotte felt that with the game production capabilities of Spectre Studio, coupled with his various suggestions as a time traveler, it might not be impossible to make this game a classic of the era.

——So, the development plan for the 3D online game version of "Lord of the Rings" was decided happily.

Although Stern regretted losing the opportunity to paddle, he was still very excited to make such a large game.

However, in order to prevent the production time from being too short and resulting in immature technical effects, Charlotte did not ask the game department to eat everything in one go.

His plan is to first let the game department produce a console version of a stand-alone 3D RPG game, which will be released together with the release of the first part of "The Lord of the Rings".

After that, the game department will gradually expand into a large-scale online game based on this game, and its release time should be around the time of the release of "The Two Towers", the second part of "The Lord of the Rings".

In this way, we can naturally take advantage of the opportunity to link up again.

And by the time the third part of "The Lord of the Rings" "The Return of the King" is released, after more than a year of promotion and revision, the game should be mature enough to launch the first expansion pack...

——This plan is perfect.

Of course, considering that large-scale online games often take two to three years or even longer development cycles, it is not impossible to delay the release.

But the good thing about Charlotte's plan is that even if the game department delays, as long as the game it produces can be released before the third movie "Return of the King" is released, it can borrow the power of the movie series.

This is a much higher success rate than simply making an online game without IP.

As for the situation that by the end of 2003, the third part of the "Lord of the Rings" series, "The Return of the King", had been released, but the game had not yet been produced...

Charlotte feels that in that case, the game department of Spectre Studio can be disbanded and reorganized.

**********

However, whether she is setting up a new game project or implementing various magic working methods within the Spectre studio, Charlotte does it remotely in her free time.

As for what he does in his spare time, there is only one word -

Play!

——Although nominally I came to visit the crew of "Lord of the Rings\

,"But after finally coming to the Southern Hemisphere, how can I be worthy of myself if I don’t have some fun?

Especially after Charlotte and Charlize got married, they didn't even have a formal honeymoon!

Although Charlize, who was born in South Africa, is considered to be born in the southern hemisphere, can South Africa be the same as New Zealand?

Anyway, for Charlotte now, traveling is her main job. As for work, she can just do a little in her free time every day.

Of course, for Peter Jackson, the director of "Lord of the Rings", this is not a bad thing.

After all, Charlotte, as the investor’s boss, is known as a producer. And he is different from other producers who are not actually proficient in directing movies. He is an extremely outstanding director of commercial films.

——If he hangs around the set from time to time, then Peter Jackson will become a complete puppet.

However, Peter Jackson had to follow Charlotte's guidance.

——No way, there is indeed a gap in the directing level between the two parties!

When "Sherlock Holmes" premiered in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, a few days ago, Peter Jackson also went to see it——

I have to accept it! !

Anyway, Peter felt that if he could make such a movie, he would cry like a 200-pound child.

——Well, this is indeed his current weight.

——And this is because I have recently been busy with the preparation and filming of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and I have lost a lot of weight.

*********

In fact, Peter Jackson both rejected and hoped for Charlotte's guidance in the film.

Of course he hopes that he can fully control his own work - this can be said to be a director's instinct.

But on the other hand, he also hopes to be guided by a more powerful director.

——As a fan of Tolkien's books, Peter Jackson really hopes to make the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies perfect.

This made him feel very conflicted.

And Charlotte also realized Peter Jackson's ambivalent mentality——

As a time traveler, he didn't feel he could guide Peter Jackson in the film adaptation of the "Lord of the Rings" series.

After all, the latter is known as "the man born for Tolkien"!

——Without the "Lord of the Rings" series, Peter Jackson's directorial level may be above the average Hollywood level. But in the "Lord of the Rings" series, this fat man is truly the "Lord of the Rings"!

**********

Of course, as a producer, Charlotte didn’t make any demands.

——If he didn't mention anything, Peter Jackson himself would be suspicious.

In fact, in addition to routinely reminding the other party to pay attention to cost control, Charlotte also asked Peter Jackson to design the characters who belong to the demon lord Sauron to be more terrifying.

——The aspect of rendering horror can be said to be the specialty of Charlotte and Specter Studios. As long as the director Peter Jackson does not interfere too much, everyone will naturally know how to do it.

Especially, Charlotte really sent a lot of "Lord of the Rings"...
