Chatty Hollywood

Unlike the Japanese version of "Death Note", the American version of Charlotte does not particularly struggle with the psychological changes of the protagonist Moon Wright (Yakami Light).

Of course, this does not mean that he did not make relevant introductions.

However, taking into account the characteristics of American audiences when watching dramas, he shot the first episode very quickly and explained a large number of plots in a simple and clear way.

The average audience may not be able to tell, but knowledgeable industry insiders understand that this is a great test of the director's narrative ability.

In fact, HBO would be willing to buy the drama "Death Note". In addition to Charlotte's reputation, the first two episodes he carefully shot are also an extremely critical factor.

After all, the biggest reason why those dramas that test too much intelligence are often not liked by the audience is that they cannot understand them or they are too tired to watch because of the large amount of information.

But Charlotte's "Death Note" is able to tell a large amount of information clearly and simply, and it can also arouse the audience's interest.

A series like this has the potential to become a hit, so HBO will naturally not give up.

What's more, Charlotte also introduced an original case in the first episode——

The case's allusion to Simpson's murder of his wife, as well as the protagonist Moon's final decisive killing, make people feel instinctively happy on the one hand, but will inevitably cause controversy on the other.

And this is exactly the necessary element for a hit drama.

However, Charlotte’s intention in introducing this original case was not just to stir up controversy.

In fact, this case not only effectively introduced the protagonist Moon's high IQ and reasoning ability to the audience, but also completely established this character.

——Even if his behavior is a bit out of place and definitely not politically correct, the audience can't help but instinctively like him.

At this time, Charlotte made a reversal at the end of the episode, allowing the FBI, represented by the mysterious detective L, to appear and challenge the "killer" Moon Wright. The entire story was suddenly pushed to a climax. .

It can be said that the original case introduced by Charlotte is not purely for the sake of time, but also to make the transition of the plot more natural.

Anyway, almost all the viewers, including Charlize, were caught by the exciting content of the first episode.

After the show ended, Charlize directly asked Charlotte about the plot behind it.

However, before he could answer, the woman regretted it again——

"No, I can't listen to spoilers, that would be boring!"

Well, Charlize still has some persistence in this regard.

Although few persist——

"Otherwise, you can just show me the content of the second episode! Anyway, this episode was filmed by Spectre Studio. You must have a sample of the second episode, right?"

"..."

Faced with the mother's demands for coquettishness of her unborn child, Charlotte fell into a dilemma...

*********

However, except for Charlize, who went directly to the producer's bed to urge the update, other "Death Note" fans were not so happy.

Who told American dramas that the broadcast mode is basically one episode a week?

In order to get through this difficult week, many fans not only watched the video or replayed it multiple times, but also started various discussions on the Internet.

In particular, "Death Note" involves two opposing concepts, violence for violence and procedural justice, but both have a large number of supporters, so naturally a lot of disputes will arise.

Even though Charlotte has no literary place to emphasize this aspect, as the discussion of the first episode on the Internet deepens, these conceptual questions are still involuntarily raised.

By this time, the discussion was already very deep.

What's more, the first episode also alluded to the Simpson case, which had caused a great uproar in the United States in the past few years and made it a household name...

In short, with the careful promotion of Spectre Studio and HBO, "Death Note" suddenly became popular in the United States.

Even some elderly people who were not originally the target audience,

I also started to pay attention to this controversial drama.

So, when the second episode started airing, the total viewership of "Death Note" suddenly soared to 15 million.

——As a series in its first season, especially when it is broadcast on a pay TV station like HBO, this number is already quite exaggerated.

Anyway, people at HBO are overjoyed about it.

And Charlotte was finally relieved.

He wasn't too worried about the poor performance of "Death Note" - he still had some confidence in this aspect - but before the ratings came out, Mr. Westwood's look of always holding the medicine made him dumbfounded. , and a little worried.

Now, "Death Note" has very good ratings and has become a popular drama, so he doesn't have to worry about Mr. Westwood suddenly being stimulated to the point of having his heart paralyzed.

——Of course, if he is so excited that he gets sick because of his good grades, that is another matter...

In short, Spectre Studio has made a good start in developing TV series.

Before Mr. Westwood's communication with Peter Jackson about the "Lord of the Rings" project came to fruition, Charlotte had nothing to worry about.

After privately coordinating several times with Jodie Foster and other investors he often worked with, he put aside his domestic affairs and left for the UK to officially start filming "Sherlock Holmes."

Joining him this time were Charlize and Charlize's assistant Sophia White.

——Because the post-production of "The Devil Wears Prada" has been completed, the pregnant Charlize has nothing to do for the time being, so she plans to accompany Charlotte to the UK for a while.

"In order to compete for the Oscars, the release date of "The Devil Wears Prada" will be pushed back to the end of the year as much as possible. I just need to return to the United States before then!"

Charlize explained,

"With this film this year, I think I have great hopes!"

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Besides, you still have it!"

He pointed at Charlize’s still flat belly,

"Oscar gives preferential treatment to pregnant women!"

"Yeah?"

Charlize didn't realize this, and now she realized it after being reminded by Charlotte——

Indeed, Oscar has always given preferential treatment to pregnant women and the dead.

It can be said that if you are nominated for an Oscar and want to ensure that you win, dying unexpectedly is the best guarantee.

Of course, most people may not be able to be so cruel, but it is still no problem to get pregnant.

——Later Natalie Portman used this trick when she won the Oscar for "Black Swan".

Although today's Hollywood stars are not as naked as they were later, everyone is still somewhat aware of the tendency of Oscars.

——Charlize smiled and nodded,

"Then if I really win an award this year, let's name it Oscar?"

She touched her belly.

"What a terrible name!"

Charlotte complained,

"You will have no hair when you grow up!!"

"This is really..."
