Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 684: 1 stone, 2 birds, 2 birds

"Don't worry, I just think the music and some special effects scenes can be enhanced, and I won't mess with the plot and editing."

Charlotte's explanation later made Robert Egger feel relieved.

After all, after being in Hollywood for so long, Iger also knows that many great directors have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Just like James Cameron, let’s not talk about spending millions of dollars to redo tableware for a single logo when filming "Titanic".

——In Egger’s view, it was simply a tragedy.

While filming True Lies, the studio tyrant even forced actress Jamie Lee Curtis to actually hang out of a flying helicopter just to shoot a set of action shots.

Of course, because Cameron himself went into battle himself and leaned out on the helicopter to shoot this group of shots, Jamie Lee Curtis finally agreed.

However, how dangerous it would be to do so, and how much trouble it would cause to the crew if something went wrong, everyone can basically understand.

——Not to mention anything else, just the intervention of the Screen Actors Guild after getting the news is enough to cause a headache.

Therefore, many actors are unwilling to cooperate with James Cameron for the second time. There are reasons...

Of course, this damn obsessive-compulsive disorder is better than the literary youth disease that seeks death. After all, it is ultimately about striving for excellence!

But many times, this kind of excellence comes at the expense of spending more money and delaying the release time.

If possible, Robert Egger naturally does not want such a thing to happen in "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".

And although Charlotte seems to have great self-control now, who knows if when it comes time to make changes, he will get excited and make too many changes, resulting in a delay?

Robert Iger didn't dare to take a gamble, but because "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a joint project between Disney and Spectre Studios, he couldn't force Charlotte.

In desperation, he had no choice but to use inducements——

"Charlotte, our people are trying to help convince people at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I think you still have a good chance of winning the best director. In this case, it would be better for "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" to be in If it is released before the influence of the Oscars has completely dissipated, it will be more beneficial to the film's box office."

"That's true."

Charlotte nodded,

"But in this case, the release date of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" will probably be moved forward to Memorial Day - that is the beginning of the summer season, but it is not too far away from the Oscar ceremony, so it is relatively It’s the right time!”

"Yes."

Robert Egger echoed.

——So your modifications must be made as soon as possible! ! !

Although he didn't say this, the meaning behind his words was very clear.

Charlotte understands this.

In fact, he had no intention of performing major surgery on "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".

However, at the preview screening just now, he suddenly discovered that some of the special effects could be improved, and he was not satisfied with some details of the music.

That’s why I came up with a plan to revise it again.

But seeing that Robert Iger seemed to have misunderstood something, and because she more clearly supported him in his bid for the statuette, Charlotte made the mistake.

"Come to think of it, Charlotte, you seem to have a connection with Memorial Day."

Robert Egger continued,

"Starting from the first movie "Fatal Turn", several of the movies you shot were all released around this date, right?"

"Yeah?"

Faced with this problem, Charlotte was stunned.

"I haven't counted it in detail before, but it seems to be the case - this is probably a coincidence!"

“Maybe Memorial Day is a lucky day for you!”

Robert Egger smiled and said,

"So, I think our "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" should also be released on Memorial Day this time, so that it will definitely inherit your previous excellent box office results."

"……I will try my best!"

——After all, you are just afraid that my revision will cause the movie to be delayed! ?

Charlotte felt that Robert Egger must have been deceived by Hollywood's directors who were the best in skipping films, so he was so nervous when he heard Charlotte's words.

But the problem is——

"Iger, this guy has probably never collaborated with James Cameron, right?"

***********

Of course, Charlotte has no intention of skipping the ticket.

Although to a certain extent, the extent of his modifications to "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was indeed a bit tight in terms of time, it was quickly resolved after recruiting the post-production team of "Lord of the Rings 1" for temporary help.

——Anyway, in order to avoid 911, Charlotte set the release date of "Lord of the Rings 1" to December 2001. The pressure in post-production is already very small.

In short, the final revision of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" went very smoothly and did not cause the delay that Robert Egger was worried about.

While it was being revised, the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Holy Auditorium in Hollywood, California——

"This should be Ovelia's first time appearing in public, right?"

Sitting in the extended car, Charlize asked Charlotte while teasing her daughter who rarely came out to play in her physical form.

"This should be."

Charlotte nodded,

"Speaking of which, Ovelia was born after last year's Oscars ceremony. This year's Oscars ceremony can also be said to be her first birthday party, right?"

"Of course."

Charlize smiled and said,

"The Oscar organizing committee specially invited us to take this little guy with us this time. Is it because of this?"

"There is a possibility."

Charlotte smiled;

"After all, your acceptance speech after winning the Best Actress title last year left a deep impression on everyone, and the organizers of the Oscars have always had no integrity for the sake of ratings..."

"So, our daughter will get attention at the Oscars again this year?"

Charlize asked.

"It's more than just attention!"

Charlotte shook her head;

"What I'm most worried about is whether she will cause any trouble."

"You mean?"

"This girl can release her spirit state at any time now!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly and said,

"With her past mischievous style, what do you think she will do? - I wouldn't be surprised even if all the statuettes in the background disappear due to her."

"So exaggerated!?"

Charlize was stunned,

"But you should be able to control her, right?"

"Well..."

Charlotte shrugged.

"The thing is - I'm happy to see it happen!"

"..."

At this time, Charlize remembered who her daughter had inherited her prank-loving personality...
