Chatty Hollywood

In Charlotte's original world, "Sherlock Holmes" stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.

The two men each used their own charm to interpret the relationship between Holmes and Watson very interestingly.

This is arguably one of the important selling points of that movie.

However, that was already in 2009——

At that time, Jude Law had become stronger and bald, and the handsome British man, whose hairline was gradually receding, was seeking a transformation;

And Robert Downey Jr. has already made a comeback with "Iron Man";

These two points are completely different from the situation Charlotte is facing at this time——

It is only the end of 1998 and we are about to enter 1999.

At this time, Jude Law was still at the peak of his appearance and was cooperating with Matt Damon in "The Talented Mr. Ripley", while Robert Downey Jr. was deeply addicted to drugs...

Is it appropriate to shoot "Sherlock Holmes" in advance at this time?

In other words, should another actor be used to play the role?

Charlotte herself couldn't tell.

Therefore, when Lao Qiang questioned the actors he proposed based on the movies in the original world, he just shrugged.

"I'm just saying it casually at the moment, Old Gun."

Charlotte explained.

But Lao Qiang doesn’t see it that way——

"You say this every time, but 80% of the time it will turn out to be what you want - although judging from the results, your choice is indeed the right one, but this time it is really different!"

Lao Qiang said anxiously,

"Not to mention Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr. has gained a lot of notoriety in the past two years because of being caught taking drugs. Now everyone is reluctant to use him, for fear that he will be half-acted. If drug addiction suddenly breaks out, the joke will be big!"

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded.

Whether it was the education she received before time travel or the experience she gained in making movies in the years after time travel, Charlotte understood that actors who take drugs are an extremely annoying existence.

Not only do they go crazy from time to time, but their working status and even working hours are difficult to guarantee, and they also spoil the overall atmosphere of the crew.

Not to mention the negative impact it would have on the entire film's publicity work once it came to light.

Even though European and American countries are not as strict about drugs as China, for the public, this is not a good thing after all.

Of course, in view of the social atmosphere, many Hollywood stars have the habit of taking a puff. If the law does not punish the public, it is difficult to beat the drug addict to death with a stick.

But even so, there are still very few people who have reached the level of Robert Downey Jr. and been arrested and jailed multiple times for drug possession.

——Most Hollywood stars, even if everyone knows that he or she takes drugs, will never let this side of themselves be directly exposed to the spotlight of the media.

——Even when they go to rehab, they go to professional “alcohol treatment institutions” rather than drug rehab centers.

In fact, there are several such "alcohol treatment agencies" in Hollywood, which specialize in helping celebrities "give up drinking."

Many celebrities have gone there to "give up drinking" - like Spielberg's goddaughter Drew Barrymore, godson Shia LaBeouf, and Johnny Depp, who has a fairly good relationship with Charlotte...

Therefore, Charlotte is not sure whether the current Downey can play the role normally.

——It's not that he can't use magic to help Downey overcome his drug addiction, but he has no way to solve the problem of heart addiction.

Moreover, he was not related to Downey, and he had not received any request. Why would he use magic to help Downey?

After all, the problem of drug addiction is purely due to Donnie seeking his own death, and the problem related to ghosts is different...

But on the other hand, if Charlotte doesn't use the "original cast" like Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law when filming "Sherlock Holmes," who should he use?

Charlotte couldn't help but have a headache.

**********

but,

In any case, the cast and crew of "Sherlock Holmes" can still wait, but the post-production work of "The Mummy" is gradually coming to an end.

It was already early 1999.

This year's Oscar nominations have been announced.

As Charlotte expected, this year's Oscars did not have much to do with him——

Even though "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" once again allowed Charlotte to win the North American annual box office championship in 1998, it was ultimately a purely commercial movie that could no longer be purely commercial.

At the Oscars, movies like this don't have an advantage.

What's more, after "Titanic" won the award in a crushing manner last year, the Oscar judges will definitely be "artistic" with a rebellious mentality...

Of course, this has little effect on Charlotte.

As a commercial film director, among the films he has shot before, except for "Silver Linings Playbook", there are no purely Austrian films.

——If it weren’t for the fact that the Oscar statuette can be used as a magic weapon for him to increase his magic power, Charlotte would pay even less attention to Oscar...

*********

In contrast, Charlize pays much more attention to Oscars.

After all, unlike male stars who can flex their muscles in commercial films, female stars generally have less box office appeal.

As they appear more in commercial blockbusters, the best way to improve their style is to win the title of "Oscar Best Actress".

With this title in hand, many things will be different.

If nothing else, at least in the field of commercial endorsements, the net worth of a movie queen will be a lot more expensive.

So, after Silver Linings Playbook, Charlize starred in The Cider House Rules last year.

——This is also an Austrian film.

The film was filmed in July 1998 - so Charlize, as the lead actor, was able to spend such a long time with Charlotte.

However, in order to compete for the Oscars, the film's release time was postponed to December.

——Who makes the Oscar judges often judge based on their feelings or even newspapers? The closer a film is released to the awards season, the more advantage it will have?

In short, with her good performance in "The Cider House Rules", Charlize successfully received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

However, it is really difficult to win a prize——

Not to mention Oscar regulars like Meryl Streep and powerful actors like Emily Watson, this year’s Oscars also featured a cheater like Gwyneth Paltrow.

As an acting family, the Paltrow family has many connections in Hollywood, and they are backed by professional Oscar traders like Harvey Weinstein, so the call for the queen to be crowned is quite strong.

——Even if most people in the industry can see that Gwyneth Paltrow's performance in "Shakespeare in Love" is not particularly outstanding, it is not even comparable to several other nominees, but who can tell What about the backstage?

Anyway, Charlize, who felt that she would have to run with him 80% of the time, was a little unconvinced.
