Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 613: Transfer (the holiday is over)

In fact, as far as Charlotte knows, "The Vampire Diaries" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are indeed two different types of dramas.

Although they are all fantasy TV series, they are more inclined to teenagers, but the story of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is more serialized, and the independence between the stories of each episode is higher. The narrative structure centered on the heroine also has the so-called " Feminism" color.

In contrast, Charlotte's original time and space "The Vampire Diaries" is more like an American love story-in simple terms, it uses the continuous arrangement and combination of several male and female protagonists to illustrate the plot.

It's just that "The Vampire Diaries" is dressed in the fantasy coat of a vampire story.

To a certain extent, it is said that it is a fantasy version of "Gossip Girl", in fact, it is not a big problem.

It just so happens that in Charlotte's original time and space, when this episode was broadcast, it was catching up with the "Fall in Love with Vampires" craze brought by the "Twilight" series...

In fact, in the beginning of the first season of "The Vampire Diaries", it made a considerable "reference" to "Twilight".

It's just that, later it gradually exhibited more complex stories.

Compared with the love story in "Twilight" that can be described as "pure", the love in "The Vampire Diaries" is more chaotic and heavy.

Of course, it can't reach the level of heavy taste of another American vampire drama "True Love Is Like Blood"...

*******

In short, Charlotte is now taking out the script of "The Vampire Diaries", in fact, it also has his considerations-

First, now the two male protagonists of the American version of "Death Note" by the Ghost Party Studios, Moon and 1, use Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder respectively.

——That is, the two male protagonists of "The Vampire Diaries" in his original time and space.

Both of these two have gained considerable popularity because of "Death Note" and have maintained a happy cooperative relationship with the Ghost Party Studio.

This is because the two young people are more sensible, facing the powerful old fritters like Charlotte and Mr. Westwood, they dare not raise their tails at all.

On the other hand, it is also because of the contract between the two and the crew;

After all, unlike the other side of the Pacific Ocean, because of the habit of filming and broadcasting American TV series, actors generally have to sign long-term contracts with the crew.

The current contract between the two and the crew has not expired, so it is natural to be honest.

In fact, it is this kind of system that can support American dramas without changing actors for more than a dozen seasons.

On the other side of the Pacific, TV stars are more free because there is no long-term convention.

Therefore, it is very difficult to produce a series of more than ten seasons on the other side of the Pacific, or even to shoot several seasons.

——It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

Once a drama is popular, from the director to the actors, the value will double, and various new film invitations will be faced. It will be very difficult to gather the crew after one season.

Of course, industry habits are different, and there is no way to say which one is better.

At least, TV stars on the other side of the Pacific, unlike TV stars on the US side, are easily trapped in a role in a drama and never come out for a lifetime.

After having an excellent work, they can continue to try new episodes and characters, and even enter the film circle, which is quite smooth.

At this point, they are actually luckier than American TV show stars.

However, for those drama fans, this is not a good thing—

All the feature-length works, after the film and television, are either greatly compressed, or they can only be shot at the beginning.

The excessive shooting is not bad, so let's just ignore it;

If the shooting is good, then everyone wants to wait for the next season, it is really far away.

And even if it really waits for the next season, the possibility of being the original team is still very low.

Just like a famous "Ghost x Light" series.

Although the water in this one is a bit deep...

**********

In short, as the two male protagonists of "Death Note", Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder have signed long-term contracts with the Ghost Party Studio.

Even if the two seasons of "Death Note" are over, the studio does not need to give them any additional compensation.

But from Charlotte's point of view, letting them go directly is actually a bit of a disadvantage.

——The popularity they gained from "Death Note" will be used in other dramas or movies.

Although this is in Hollywood, it is actually quite normal.

Today you rub my popularity, I will rub yours tomorrow!

But Charlotte didn't want to do that.

——He is going to rub his own popularity directly.

After all, I knew that these two men were the two male protagonists of "The Vampire Diaries" in the original time and space, so why not take out the Vampire Diaries?

On the one hand, there is a version of the original time and space for the base, the two should indeed be very suitable;

On the other hand, you can also take advantage of the popularity of the two now derived from "Death Note" to directly entice "The Vampire Diaries".

In particular, because of the existence of the previous long-term contract, even if the contract is changed, the cost of using these two people is much lower than inviting other celebrities of the same popularity.

——According to the habit of the American drama circle, even if the two want to negotiate with the crew, they will have to wait for the end of the long-term contract even if they want to negotiate with the crew~lightnovelpub.net~.

Using them now is the time when the price/performance ratio is the highest.

"you are right!"

Mr. Westwood also agreed with Charlotte’s view.

"but--"

Mr. Producer flipped through the script and frowned slightly.

"This time in "The Vampire Diaries", why did Paul Wesley play the upright brother Stephen and Ian Somerhalder as the evil brother Damon? "The role positioning in "is just the opposite?"

"Well..."

Charlotte smiled.

"First, if you continue to read the script, you can see that the black and white of the characters in "The Vampire Diaries" are actually constantly changing. The good guys will become black and the bad guys will be washed out. Therefore, no one is Pure integrity or pure evil!"

"This is understandable!"

Mr. Westwood nodded.

"However, this kind of gameplay feels a bit like George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire"."

"From whose main perspective, who will become like the protagonist and be understood and liked more by readers?"

"Yes. Anyway--"

Mr. Westwood just wanted to nod his head when he suddenly thought of a question.

"——You wouldn't be like the story in "A Song of Ice and Fire", who will be killed by a story with a main perspective?"

"I haven't gotten so crazy."

Charlotte shrugged.

"However, when it comes to "A Song of Ice and Fire", I feel that if it can be adapted into a TV series, it will be great!"
