Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 674: Trouble Terminator

And just now, those "black people, no, African Americans" remarks between Charlotte and Addison Young were just a mockery of the increasingly obvious "politically correct" tendency in Hollywood.

——In this regard, even if Charlotte is proficient in magic, she cannot fight against the general trend of society.

Therefore, Spectre Studio has also begun to pay attention to this issue from a long time ago.

Of course, this can only be limited to the kind that will really make the studio's movie hit the streets. For example, today Addison Young mentioned that the local indigenous people of Dominica are preparing to protest against the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" for blackmailing their image. This is not the case. List.

But that doesn't mean Charlotte will ignore it.

After all, it is quite troublesome to have a large group of people protest, causing the filming to be suspended, and even the crew to suffer losses.

In particular, Dominica is a country with an unemployment rate of over 60%, which means that there are people everywhere who have no money and are very idle.

——If something happens, a large number of boring people will join in, and it will turn into a group incident.

As a producer, Charlotte still needs to deal with this kind of trouble.

So, in the afternoon, the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", led by Addison Young, the photographer and part-time assistant director, shot some simple shots, while Charlotte went out for a trip...

"nailed it!"

After returning in the evening, Charlotte announced directly.

"So easy!?"

Addison Yang couldn't help but be stunned.

In Mr. Photographer's view, this kind of protest problem caused by reputation is often difficult to solve——

The crew generally does not easily modify the script that has been finally finalized, and the protestors usually do not disperse easily after something happens.

In this case, simple compensation sometimes does not solve the problem.

——The compensation demanded by the protesting parties is often not “simple”.

In short, the ideas of both parties are often on two parallel lines that do not intersect...

If many Hollywood crews encounter this kind of problem while filming on location, many will choose to evacuate quickly and then choose another location.

But Addison Young has never seen someone like Charlotte solve the problem in advance.

"How did you do it!?"

Mr. Photographer asked curiously.

"Actually, I just quickly found people from the Dominican government, and then used Mr. Franklin to clear the way and asked him to help me find those who wanted to organize protests."

"Mr. Franklin!?"

Addison Yang was stunned, but when he saw Charlotte twirling her fingers, he understood.

"It seems that a hundred techniques for stuffing money are also common in the Dominican Republic!"

"Simpler and more direct."

Charlotte smiled and said,

"Anyway, thanks to the gentleman who abides by the principle of equal exchange, I quickly met the person who wanted to organize this protest, or the local indigenous people of Dominica,

Well, the leader? "

"Then what?"

"Then I convinced them!"

Charlotte shrugged, with a calm expression on her face.

"...Why do I think things are not as simple as you said?"

Addison Yang was speechless.

"It's really not that simple."

Charlotte nodded.

In fact, persuading people is not that easy.

After all, the other party is not a beauty.

Even Charlotte did not dispel her dissatisfaction with the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

——He just reasoned with the other party and made the other party realize that the crew would not change the script just because of the protest.

The other party's behavior would, at best, make the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" change filming locations.

And because they have shot in the Dominican Republic, if some viewers misunderstand that the indigenous people of the Dominican Republic were cannibals, they will still misunderstand it.

"...Your explanation will only add fuel to the fire, right?"

Hearing this, Addison Yang was even more speechless. He felt that with Charlotte's explanation, it would be good to come back alive.

——Mr. Photographer really can’t imagine how this problem will be solved.

Fortunately, Charlotte continued to explain——

"I told the other party that if they insist on protesting, this is the only result they will get. On the contrary-"

Mr. Director smiled and said,

"——If they help us film honestly now, they can protest before the second movie is released, and our crew will cooperate at that time."

"Cooperate!?"

"Yes, cooperate!"

Charlotte emphasized,

"In fact, if the Dominicans continue to protest at that time, it will be beneficial to our crew."

"Propaganda?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"For the Dominicans, if we issue a protest statement at that time, it will get more attention, and we can also cooperate and apologize-"

"But you won't change it, right?"

Addison Young quipped.

"Of course!"

Charlotte said unceremoniously,

"Besides, there will be no actual compensation."

"However, that being the case, it's also good for Dominicans - it can increase the island's profile and get more people to visit."

"As for these Dominican indigenous people, we can also organize some lucky audiences in North America to travel here after the movie is released - then, they can "explain" to those tourists in person!"

Charlotte emphasized.

And Addison Young also understood what he meant,

"Just like the Sahara tourism craze triggered by The Mummy!? Did you make a deal with the Dominicans!?"

"It's a matter of seeking common ground while reserving differences, each has its own benefits!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Facts have proved that although Dominicans shout loud slogans, they actually have interests at heart."

"...Well, I can only say that the job of a producer is not something that ordinary people can do well!"

Addison Young sighed and raised his hands in the air to express his profound admiration for Charlotte.

After all, although Charlotte's words do sound reasonable, there are many things in this world that make sense but fail to succeed.

At least, Addison Young has seen many things in Hollywood that should be a win-win situation, but in the end there is no winner.

——Both people and the world are often not so reasonable.

Therefore, Charlotte was able to get the Dominicans to accept the method he gave, ultimately because of his strong language guidance ability.

——As his royal photographer, Addison Young has seen this a lot.

"This guy must have stunned the other person with his words and thought completely according to his way of thinking!"

Addison Yang whispered secretly in his heart,

"I just don't know how much spare money I can make by organizing a trip to the Dominican Republic when the second part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is released?"

——As for losing money, Mr. Photographer didn’t even think about it.

After all, their Specter studio had done this once before when "The Mummy" was released.

Although the scale is small, it is indeed profitable and is good for promoting the film. It can be regarded as a promotional tool, and it can also be said to be a kind of movie peripheral.

——How can we lose money when developing peripheral products?
