Although she got new clues about Tom Cruise's previous strange performance, Charlotte didn't rush to check it out.

In his opinion, the immediate matter is more important.

The filming of the literary drama behind "Sherlock Holmes" is still very smooth, and gradually, with the completion of other preparations, the martial arts part will begin.

At this time, Mr. Westwood came to England.

Along with him was a fat man named Peter Jackson.

——The director of the future "Lord of the Rings" series and "The Hobbit" series.

Mr. Westwood did not introduce Peter Jackson to Charlotte at the beginning, but first talked about his work——

""Death Note" has taken off in the country!"

Mr. Westwood looked very excited,

"Some time ago, the ratings have surpassed the 20 million mark-for such a series that is still the first season, this is simply unimaginable. Charlotte, are you really sure not to add some more stories at the back? "

"... Haven't you already read the general script outline!"

Charlotte smiled.

"It's true that there is no more room to add content, and if you reluctantly write, it will only be a bit of a dog!"

"Yes?"

Mr. Westwood was a little disappointed,

"But in this way, this "Death Note" will end at most three seasons, right?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"This drama is actually an attempt by our Ghost Party studio in the field of TV dramas. If the filming time is too long, it will actually be disadvantageous."

"Well, you are the boss, you have the final say!"

Mr. Westwood shrugged.

"Anyway, HBO has already renewed the second season. According to the current ratings, when it is almost over, they will spend 80% of the money to let us continue to shoot. I hope you don't change your mind."

"probably not."

Charlotte shook her head.

"Also, even if I really change my mind, there is nothing wrong with you, right?"

"That's true."

Mr. Westwood nodded.

Immediately, he began to introduce Peter Jackson to Charlotte——

"...At present, the plan of the new line tends to be conservative, and Peter feels that it is difficult to tell the story of "The Lord of the Rings" clearly with just one film, let alone the unique scenery of Middle-earth-he He still hopes to be filmed into a trilogy mode. Therefore, he now wants to find a stronger collaborator."

——Mr. Westwood concluded.

After hearing this, Charlotte nodded.

He pointedly to Peter Jackson on one side,

"Peter, since you are willing to come to see me with Mr. Westwood, you must know what we mean-then, if we reach an agreement on the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" into a trilogy, are you sure to throw Open a new line and cooperate with us to make this trilogy?"

"This is natural."

Peter Jackson nodded.

He had already thought about it long before he came.

——As a book fan of Tol King, he can't let his idol's work be dusted because of himself. Therefore, the movie "The Lord of the Rings" must be made well, and the trilogy plan is also imperative. And which company is willing to support his plan, he is also willing to cooperate with which company.

He didn’t have any nostalgia for the new-line company that had been conservative in his original plan and had always had a bad reputation in Hollywood, but—

"Xin Xian is currently studying this project. I am now transferred to the ghost party studio. Will it cause some legal issues and affect the release of the film?"

"That's not true."

Mr. Westwood on one side shook his head.

"As far as I know, the research on the new line is progressing very slowly. At present, the film adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings" have not been officially won. In this case, as long as we start in advance, the trouble should not be big."

"Moreover, even if we want to mess with us, we are not afraid!"

Charlotte added,

"Behind the new line is actually Warner Pictures. The relationship between our Ghost Party studio and Warner is actually not worse than that of the new line—in fact, considering the cooperation of the Harry Potter series, and what I have Warner’s shares may be better. If everything is negotiated, Warner will help us get a new line."

"Yes?"

Peter Jackson will be suspicious.

And Charlotte is definitely authentic.

"That's it. In fact, a few days ago, Warner and I were in London now, and David Heyman, who worked with us on the Harry Potter series, had a special talk-if things are finalized, we are going to make " The release of the movie "The Lord of the Rings" is also entrusted to Warner Pictures."

"So..."

This news really relieved Peter Jackson a lot.

Although there are not many works, he is not a new director. He who once filmed "The World of Corpses", he knows that the success or failure of a movie is not only the production level, but also the distribution.

Especially the "Lord of the Rings" movie.

——This shows that it is a fantasy film, a kind of commercial blockbuster, which is naturally very dependent on the power of distribution and publicity.

Peter Jackson was also worried about the distribution capabilities of the Ghost Party studio before-

After all, as a director’s private company, although the Ghost Party Studio has gained a lot of fame in recent years~lightnovelpub.net~, it has not established its own distribution channel like New Line, which will bring "The Lord of the Rings". If the movie is handed over to them, how to distribute it is a problem.

——And now, listening to Charlotte, if the release is to Warner Pictures, then it will naturally not be a problem.

When Peter Jackson thought so, he couldn't help but feel relieved a lot...

********

Of course, the specific cooperation agreement cannot be finalized with just two sentences.

Later, everyone will have to negotiate concretely.

However, after determining the intention, both sides have no problems in the general direction.

Charlotte handed over the negotiation with Peter Jackson to Mr. Westwood, and he himself set out to prepare for the subsequent funding issues.

——Fortunately, because of the previous move, after allowing some well-connected partners to invest in "Detective Sherlock Holmes", there is still a large amount of liquidity in the accounts of the Ghost Party Studio, which is enough to start the "Lord of the Rings" series.

And Charlotte has already talked to some close investors about the movie "The Lord of the Rings". In view of his good box office results, everyone trusts him very much...

Therefore, Charlotte quickly completed the funding preparations, and before the new line reacted, she acted first, and directly grabbed the film adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings".

After the new line realized what had happened, it was naturally very dissatisfied.

However, because Charlotte has already passed David Hyman ahead of time and pulled Warner Pictures behind the new line on board, the new line can only protest.

——After all, the owners behind Warner’s new line have agreed, what else can the new line say?
