Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 662: Eyes open at the sight of money

Although with the development of the times, the revenue from peripheral products accounts for an increasingly important proportion of the revenue of film companies, generally speaking, peripheral products like a ship are something that no one can think of.

After all, if you make a movie about ships and the boats can be sold as peripheral products, then if you make a movie about arms, can Hollywood also sell arms?

Although in Charlotte's original time and space, "Lord of War" released in 2005 did show this once - not only did it perfectly serve as an arms dealer's commercial, but many of the arms in it were indeed real arms. , and then actually sold it.

But such violent peripheral products don’t come around very often after all.

Moreover, this time and space has not yet reached 2005, and no one except Charlotte knows about it.

...Anyway, Charlotte pointed to the three large wooden ships in the huge water tank in Rosarito and said that these were all peripherals of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, and that they had sold the tunnel in advance, so they still let all the crew Everyone was in admiration.

In fact, he did not lie——

Among these three ships, the "Intrepid" was booked in advance by a wealthy Australian whose family owns many mines.

——This is still the string pulled by Nicole Kidman;

As for the "Interceptor", it was Eliot Lord, a wealthy man in Silicon Valley, who bought it.

——There are many Geeks in Silicon Valley. This emerging rich man is obviously relying on the Internet wave to make a fortune, but he prefers old-fashioned wooden sailboats. Among the weirdos in Silicon Valley, he can only be regarded as ordinary.

And he was able to get to know Charlotte because she invested in Google.

——Ellot Lord is also one of the investors in Google, and he is also an acquaintance of Charlotte.

After hearing that Charlotte planned to shoot a pirate-themed commercial blockbuster, the geek rich man who likes wooden sailboats approached Charlotte...

As for the final "Black Pearl", the buyer was Charlotte herself.

The reason——

"What, you plan to have the Ovelia ghost ship directly attach to the Black Pearl!?"

When chatting in private, Ruifan, who heard Charlotte's plan, felt that his boss's imagination was beyond the sky.

"Have you discussed this with Charlize?"

Because Alexis was filming "Little Island" in the UK, River felt that he could not stop Charlotte, so he could only use Charlize's name.

However--

"I'm just here for Sally!"

Charlotte looks like a good man who loves his wife;

"Sally really likes the feeling of driving the Ovelia across the sea, but the problem is that she is a living person and always driving the ghost ship in the spirit form is not good for her health. And if the Ovelia has an entity attached to it, If she is on board the "Black Pearl", then she might be sailing on the outer sea in her real form!"

"..."

It wasn't until this moment that Ruifan realized that he and Charlotte were not in the same class.

——Even if Ruifan is still alive and his career is at its peak, he is just a rising star in Hollywood, playing yachting and other things. Although it is not impossible, he is not good at it after all.

And now that Charlotte has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, it is natural for her to enjoy yachting like many rich people do.

What's even more valuable is that, as a master of spells, he can also ingeniously play with wooden sailboats attached to ghost ships...

"Ruifan, don't even think about stopping him!"

Sitting aside, photographer Addison Yang, who is also an insider, has a very open mind.

"After all, using a ghost ship as a yacht or something does sound interesting. What I'm more interested in now is another thing -"

As he spoke, he looked at Charlotte,

“Have we saved on filming costs by selling these boats?”

“Not just savings!”

Charlotte shrugged.

“After selling the Intrepid and Interceptor in advance, we have made back all the costs of manufacturing these three prop ships.

He also made an additional two million yuan. "

"..."

"Charlotte, let's just build the ships in your second and third scripts!"

Addison Young's eyes glowed with golden dollars,

"Like the Flying Dutchman, if it could be built, it would definitely be sold more expensive, right?"

"……Maybe!"

Looking at Mr. Photographer's enthusiastic look, Charlotte suddenly felt that he was in the wrong profession.

*********

In fact, Addison Young was not the only one who was shocked by the price of this super peripheral in Charlotte.

When Charlotte, as the first producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew, finalized the sales contracts for these ships and then sent them to Philip Bierman, as the executive producer, to discuss the details, the official The producer, who was busy negotiating contracts with a group of agents, was shocked.

He flew directly to Rosarito, and as soon as they met, he made a suggestion similar to Mr. Photographer——

"Build a few more ships!"

"...It's not that easy!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Although there are many rich people in this world who have money and weird hobbies, there are only a few who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy this kind of peripheral prop ship!"

"You're right!"

Philip Biermann was also a little embarrassed.

He understood that Charlotte was right.

In fact, if it weren't for Charlotte's reputation that made "Pirates of the Caribbean" a hit before it was released, I'm afraid this good thing of selling prop ships as peripherals in advance would never have happened.

And after having already encountered two miracles, he still wanted to pray for more miracles. Philip Biermann felt that he was indeed overthinking.

but--

"Can we try to find a buyer first, and if we find one, then build the prop ship again?"

Phillip is not so open-minded even if he doesn't make any money.

In response, Charlotte shrugged.

"If you can do it - but I said it in advance, I can sell these two boats at such a high price, not only because the buyers themselves like old-fashioned wooden handmade boats, but also because of the participation of these two boats. It was because of the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" - if you are too slow to find a buyer, even if the boat is built, it will not be able to catch up with the filming."

"I understand this!"

Philip Biermann nodded,

"But if the second and third parts are to be filmed immediately, then the Flying Dutchman must at least be built, right?"

"Yes."

Charlotte did not deny this.

"However, this is the only one. I don't intend to build all the other ships using real methods - ships that are rarely used cannot use so many real ingredients."

"All right!"

Philip understood what Charlotte meant;

"I will work hard to find ways to allow the crew to build more real ships."

"Then it's up to you!"

Charlotte said lightly. (https:)
