Chatty Hollywood

This is also true——

After hearing Charlotte's willingness to poach, Mr. Westwood readily agreed.

——Unlike a few years ago, the rise of Spectre Studio is now very strong.

It can be said that, in addition to some shortcomings in its foundation, this studio that has completed corporate restructuring is completely comparable to some second-tier film and television companies.

What's more, there is a well-known director like Charlotte sitting on the scene.

——Such a company is definitely a rising stock in Hollywood. Now that Mr. Westwood has the opportunity to get on board, he will naturally not have any objections.

And he doesn't have any objections to temporarily changing his career to a TV drama producer.

In fact, many second- and third-tier producers in Hollywood often work across the two fields of TV series and movies.

Mr Westwood is no stranger to this.

Of course, the premise is that there must be a good script——

""death Note"!?"

The name on the script made Mr. Westwood feel a little strange.

"Is this a note that a person recorded before he died? It sounds a bit artistic!"

Mr. Westwood, who knew nothing, picked up the manuscript and read it while thinking about it.

Soon, he discovered that this script had nothing to do with "literature".

——This is a high-intelligence battle of wits story with elements of horror and fantasy.

Moreover, the story is very touching.

Anyway, Mr. Westwood just watched it for a while, and his blood boiled with excitement. Then--

"Hey, old Tony, I haven't written your name in this notebook yet. Don't look like you're going to have a heart attack at any time!"

Seeing Mr. Westwood clutching his chest and gasping for breath, Charlotte wondered if she should call an ambulance.

Fortunately, Mr. Westwood waved his hand,

"I'm fine. It's just that the plot is a bit tense, and I felt a little..."

"……All right."

Charlotte was really helpless that Mr. Westwood used this way to praise the script as exciting.

Mr. Westwood continued,

"This is indeed a very good story, and I roughly understand why you decided to make it into a TV series instead of a movie - indeed, such a large number of wits and reversal plots can be filmed in a movie, and the audience will be able to watch it. It’s quite difficult, but if it’s made into a TV series——”

Mr. Westwood paused.

"It should work very well and easily attract viewers to keep watching!"

"That's no problem!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Then, Tony, after switching over, it should be okay to serve as the producer of this TV series first, right?"

"It's not a problem. But——"

Mr. Westwood took out his first aid medicine from his pocket and shook it at Charlotte.

"Your heart-paralysis setting is really a bit ironic to me!"

"..."

"Speaking of which, how many seasons do you plan to film this story?"

asked Mr Westwood.

And Charlotte shook her head,

"Run for two seasons first and finish filming the story! After all, you also know the pattern of American TV series. How many seasons can be filmed depends on whether there is a TV station to renew it."

"I don't think you need to worry too much about this issue."

Mr. Westwood smiled and said,

"Based on my judgment of this script, as long as there are no big mistakes, it will be no problem to successfully get renewed. What's more, we can also borrow your reputation as a great director - what I mean by asking this question is actually that if this script It has become really popular after the series. If there are more renewals, do you plan to continue to extend the story?"

"this……"

Charlotte knew that Mr. Westwood was right.

The story structure of most American dramas is like this. Because of the filming operation mode of one episode per week and one season, the crew themselves do not know how long the story will be filmed.

Those who don’t perform well will probably be cut in half in one or two seasons.

——Such a series is naturally either unfinished or too eunuch. Anyway, it is difficult to tell the complete story;

And if the movie has good results, it will become stinky and long due to constant renewal.

——In the end, the content of the originally fully conceived story outline has been filmed, and the screenwriters have to make up the content now, so the excitement of the TV series will be greatly reduced...

This is also the reason why American dramas tend to be dominated by series with loose structures and relatively independent plots for each episode.

This is determined by the shooting mode of American dramas.

The story content of "Death Note" is exactly not this model——

"I think we'd better finish telling the story and call it a day!"

Charlotte finally decided,

"After all, the story structure is laid out here, and this is actually just a test of the filming of a TV series by our Spectre studio, and there is no need to shoot for too long."

——Furthermore, Charlotte also knew that the second part of "Death Note" in his original world was suspected of being a continuation of the story.

In his opinion, the story ended after L's death, which was actually quite perfect. Adding the following content would be superfluous.

If you find it hard to accept Yagami Yue's abnormal victory of secondary values, you can also change it to him and L dying together. There is no need to add an extra paragraph, but it will reduce the excitement of the story...

**********

Mr. Westwood did not object to Charlotte’s decision.

"You are the BOSS, I listen to you in this regard."

He smiled at Charlotte and then asked another question,

"Speaking of which, which TV station are you planning to air this series on?"

"HBO!"

Charlotte said directly,

"We have been cooperating very closely with Warner Pictures recently. HBO, which is also owned by Time Warner, should be able to sell us more face."

"But HBO is a pay channel, right?"

Mr. Westwood was a little uncertain;

"They have always been famous for large-scale, but when I look at the story of "Death Note", it doesn't seem like there are that many large-scale elements, right?"

"That's just the basic framework."

Charlotte shrugged.

"Not to mention anything else, just the fact that you can set the death method for killing people in "Death Note" is enough for us to play - we can completely set various performance art-style death methods for the killed, and then Photograph them one by one.”

"...If you do this, it won't be made into "1000 Ways to Die", right?"

"How can there be so many? There are 26 types. It would be great to match the number of English words!"

"Right!"

Mr. Westwood pondered,

"This seems really fun, and maybe it will be really popular!"

——No way, because American audiences read more films, they generally have a heavier taste. Even the very literary "Infernal Affairs" has been used in the Hollywood remake of "The Departed", and all kinds of swear words are used. The two male protagonists He even had sex with the same woman...

Mr. Westwood is well aware of the American audience's love for environmentally friendly and bloody violence, so he finds Charlotte's plan attractive, but——

"In this case, in order to set the tone and start the beginning, would it be better for Charlotte to shoot the first two episodes of "Death Note" yourself?"

"That's what I meant!"
