Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 486 The bad guy must die

The first thing to do is naturally to expand Spectre Studio, which is about to be completely corporatized - although after corporatization, the name of the studio may still be used.

In short, expanding your company means hiring new people and expanding your office space.

This means that the overall cost increases, which naturally requires money.

However, considering some of the funds that Charlotte has already hoarded and some of the funds that have been withdrawn from the stock market in advance in order to cope with the upcoming bursting of the Internet economic bubble, the liquidity in Charlotte's hands is not small.

Coupled with the more than 30 million obtained from the deal with Warner, it is more than enough whether it is to cope with the expansion of Spectre Studio or continue to hunt for lows in the stock market.

Charlotte is going to use the remaining money to improve her personal life.

You know, because she is busy with work, Charlotte has not invested much in personal enjoyment in the past few years after time travel——

Except for the villa that Jodie Foster half-sold and gave away and later rented to Charlize, and the island he defrauded in the name of Patrick Jane, Charlotte does not have many fixed assets. .

Of course, Charlotte still has a nice car and a well-decorated house.

But compared to the average level of Hollywood stars, Charlotte's life can be described as hard and simple.

Especially since he is now worth a lot of money.

So, now that she has some extra money, Charlotte is ready to buy one or two properties first——

First of all, the villas in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica Beach are almost standard for Hollywood stars.

Charlotte has Jodie Foster's half-sold, half-given villa in Beverly Hills, but nothing on the beach in Santa Monica.

Compared with Beverly Hills, it is cleaner there, which is more in line with Charlotte's preferences.

Charlotte is planning to get another piece of land with a private beach on Santa Monica Beach and build a larger villa.

——After all, there is Santa Monica Beach in his dream world. In reality, it is a bit unreasonable to not have a piece of land there...

Secondly, I am also planning to buy a house in Charlotte, London.

Considering his long-term cooperation with Warner Bros. on the Harry Potter series, he estimates that he will not go to London too often in the future.

In that case, it would be a bit inconvenient to always stay in a hotel.

Having your own house is naturally a better choice.

What's more, with the help of an Irish leprechaun who likes pranks but is good at cleaning up the house, comparable to a top housekeeping service company, Charlotte doesn't need to hire a special house caretaker, let alone worry about someone sneaking in and doing anything.

——After all, British paparazzi are famous for their lack of moral integrity, and Charlotte has indeed encountered bugs before...

**********

In short, buying a house in London is a very reasonable choice for Charlotte.

And just as he was choosing a suitable target and continuing to supervise the post-production of "The Mummy" in London, an unexpected piece of news disrupted his plan——

"What!? Erin Wuornos committed suicide!?"

Charlotte was picking out a place to live in London with Charlize when she heard the news.

To be honest, the death of a serial killer did not arouse any emotional fluctuations in Charlotte.

However, for Charlize, this is very important news——

Charlize had previously wanted to adapt Erin Wuornos' story into a film.

To this end, she also asked Charlotte for help and hired a female screenwriter named Patty Jenkins to interview Erin Wuornos.

Patty Jenkins did a fantastic job.

In the past few years, she has been following up on this matter, visited Erin Wuornos many times, and even became good friends with her.

To a certain extent, Patty Jenkins’ interview transcript is actually the autobiography of Erin Wuornos.

but,

Because the murder case committed by Eileen Wuornos is still ongoing, the relevant prosecutors and judges are strongly opposed to Hollywood filming a biopic about Eileen Wuornos at this time.

Because they know very well that under the jury system implemented in the United States, a movie about Erin Wuornos is likely to have a great impact on the jury's verdict.

——After all, it is too normal for American lawyers and judges for a jury to get mad and give a strange verdict due to some unexpected factors.

What's more, even if they have never eaten pork, they have still seen pigs running away——

You know, lawyer dramas are a long-lasting genre in American TV dramas.

The lawyer protagonist there can finally achieve a comeback, often relying on a speech in court that can make people cry.

It was the jury composed of ordinary people who were moved by this speech and became dizzy.

——Jury members, although carefully selected by both the prosecution and defense, generally have certain legal qualities. But after all, they are not judges and prosecutors who abide by the law. They will follow their feelings from time to time.

To put it simply, it is occasionally unreliable.

Of course, in order to promote their own jury system, Americans deliberately promote this unreliable practice as the human part of the jury or the law.

The words cannot be considered wrong.

However, because of the "human nature of the jury," the judges and prosecutors who were tricked were definitely not just one or two.

So when they heard that Hollywood was planning to make a biopic of Eileen Wuornos during her trial, judges and prosecutors immediately went crazy.

After all, Hollywood has always been a place where American leftists gather, and they love to go against the U.S. government.

When they make movies with villains as protagonists, they often look for the so-called "humanity" in the villains.

——From a movie perspective, this may not be wrong. But in the eyes of prosecutors and judges, this is an effort to whitewash and beautify the murderer.

Especially during the trial of the case, if this kind of movie is released, it is very likely that the jury will make a verdict in favor of the murderer.

Naturally they cannot tolerate this kind of thing.

Therefore, they had already let the news out——

If the Elle Wuornos biopic is planned before the trial is over, they will definitely seek a court injunction to ban the film from being released.

——It is precisely for this reason that although Charlize and Patty Jenkins had already made preparations to shoot the Eileen Wuornos biopic, they never dared to do it.

And now Erin Wuornos has killed herself.

what does that mean! ?

This means that the protracted trial and evidence collection can be over.

——After all, the defendant is dead. Even if you try her in absentia and sentence her to death, what will happen?

In fact, when it comes to this kind of thing, the trial usually ends without a problem.

And this also means that the biopic of Eileen Wuornos, which Charlize has been preparing for a long time, can finally start to be developed——
