Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 410: Leap over the ocean

Although "Detective of Hell" exploded at the box office and the word-of-mouth was overwhelming, now that the movie has been released, this is not the focus of Charlotte's life.

Even though he, as a film producer, still has to deal with some publicity and promotion work, but the focus of his life has shifted to other things——

The investigation of the Lord of Hell continues, although there seems to be no clue in the short term.

But the other party was too mysterious, and Charlotte didn't dare to take it lightly.

And how the investigation revealed Tom Cruise. Although Charlotte prepared a plan, it has not yet begun to implement it.

Now, Charlotte’s attention is mainly on "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"——

After being published in early 1997, J.K. Rowling's fairy tale novels sold very well.

Although it would not be possible to make Rowling's book a **** like the posterity advertised, it was indeed sold out and needed to be printed.

Joanna Rowling's standard of living has changed drastically as a result.

However, Charlotte is more concerned about the TV animation version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by the Ghost Party Studios.

After all, the novel has not yet been released in the US, but the animation has already been broadcast on ABC TV.

Although the average number of viewers was only over 5 million at the beginning of the broadcast, after a period of time, this number has more than doubled to 12 million.

The peak number of viewers has reached a staggering 18 million.

——That is the number Harry Potter reached when he first participated in Quidditch in the animation.

For a TV animation that hasn't been played for a season, this is already quite an amazing achievement.

ABC added a 12-episode reservation to the Ghost Party Studio just after the fourth episode of the animation, which turned the original 12-episode first season into 24 episodes.

After the peak viewership reached 18 million, they even more eagerly booked the second and third seasons.

But this is not the biggest success of the animation "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"——

After all, there are always dozens or hundreds of new American dramas released every year. Although it is not easy to get the next season's reservation, it will not be difficult to make it to the sky.

In fact, there are many longevity episodes in American TV dramas.

Any of these dramas can claim to have grown up with a generation of Americans.

However, the surroundings of these episodes are not as much as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"——

From the most typical magic wand, to Hogwarts school uniforms, and Hedwig owl dolls, they are all very popular.

Mattel is also in contact with the Ghost Party Studio to make Hermione Granger's Barbie dolls.

Although normally speaking, the authorization of these things belongs to the original author Rowling, but because of the agreement between Charlotte and Rowling, the various authorizations from the United States are fully represented by Charlotte's Ghost Party Studio.

What's more, these companies that hope to get peripheral authorization refer to the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

The copyright of the animated version is in Charlotte's hands.

Charlotte made a lot of money because of this TV animation.

Considering that in the production process of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", Charlotte used a lot of spells, which greatly reduced the cost. It can be said that the money he made from this TV animation even exceeded one. The profit of a large-scale commercial film.

Although, for the current Charlotte, this is not what he most wants from "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"-

In order to completely seal Xu Fu, what he needs most now is the "Sorcerer's Stone".

In other words, the sage's stone.

Charlotte has tried it. Before the overall broadcast of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is completed, he cannot build the "Sorcerer's Stone" with the help of this TV animation.

On the one hand, it is because the Philosopher’s Stone has not actually appeared in the animation.

On the other hand, it is also because the influence of animation is not enough.

After all, the current peak audience of 18 million, although very good in the television circle, is still not even worse than the influence of movies.

Charlotte felt that he still had to find a way from the movie--

"I just wanted to buy and sell the movie adaptation rights of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", but I didn't expect to have to do it myself in the end!"

Charlotte sighed to Alexis.

As the head of the animation department of the Ghost Party Studio, when discussing "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", Alexis will naturally be there.

What's more, because she had rescued Joanna Rowling once, she had a good personal relationship with Mama Magic.

On several occasions, Charlotte simply sent Miss Valkyrie across the Atlantic to save trouble and went to England to talk to Rowling.

——This is not to save money on a plane ticket.

However, the wings of the Valkyrie did give Alexis the ability to move quickly.

If Charlotte is willing to continue to provide mana for blessing, her flying speed can even catch up with the F-22 Raptor, which has just been announced and has not yet officially entered service.

——As a fifth-generation fighter, that thing can cruise at supersonic speeds.

In short, things about "Harry Potter" are not important, Charlotte will usually let Alexis communicate on his behalf.

After all, Miss Valkyrie's mobile ability is indeed not comparable to that of a living person.

Now, they are talking about the live-action movie of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

In fact, with the hot screening of the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the American publishing rights of its novels have been taken down by Random House.

Charlotte helped Rowling contact this agreement.

Now, the American version of "Sorcerer's Stone" is being urgently revised.

——Although the languages ​​of the United Kingdom and the United States are both English, there are some subtle differences in the usage of many slang and common vocabulary. In this regard, some revisions are needed.

Besides ~lightnovelpub.net~ Since the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is now in theaters, Random House is not a fool, and they naturally want to take advantage of the situation to promote it.

Even for the character illustrations in the book, they did not adopt the more traditional European and American style of the British version, but directly borrowed the style and character of the TV animation.

——Of course, correspondingly, as the copyright owner of TV animation, Charlotte also has a little income.

It can be said that the "Harry Potter" craze has become a popular trend in North America. When the North American novel version is officially released, then the live-action movie can really be said to be ready for everything.

"Is Warner still hesitating now?"

Alexis asked.

"Hesitation doesn't count, but, as you know, the brains and reaction speeds of the top Warner managers..."

Charlotte shrugged.

"However, now that Disney is also in the game, it should stimulate them!" ()
