Chatty Hollywood

"So, do you think Mike Newell can succeed?"

asked David Heyman.

"I can only say that the quality is enough!"

Charlotte shook her head;

"The details will definitely need to be discussed with you. However, I am worried that he will not be able to direct this series for a long time."

"Why?"

"Also because of his style!"

Charlotte shrugged and said,

"Directors with an overly delicate style would have a hard time directing commercial blockbusters - such directors are actually more suitable for literary films or small- and medium-cost romance films. When directing commercial films, they are faced with situations where performances need to make way for special effects from time to time. They It’s hard to endure for a long time. Moreover, they tend to get caught up in some details and ignore the overall movie.”

"This is really..."

David Heyman gave a wry smile, and his rating of Mike Newell, which had been raised due to Charlotte's previous praise, was lowered.

"Then let me tell you about the second candidate!"

Seeing Charlotte nod, David Heyman continued,

"Alfonso Cuaron is a Mexican director. He has a deep connection with Hollywood. "Your Mother Too" released in Mexico this year is his work, and the current reviews are quite good."

"Alfonso Cuaron..."

Charlotte sighed.

Charlotte, the future great Mexican director, naturally knows.

After all, the first Latino best director in Oscar history is still very eye-catching——

Although this person has not directed many movies personally, and not many have achieved high box office, but "Gravity" is enough to attract people's attention.

You know, "Gravity" is a science fiction film, and the Oscars have always discriminated against science fiction films.

——Alfonso Cuaron is not only the first Latino best director in Hollywood history, but also the first director to win a statuette for a science fiction film.

That kind of people,

Of course Charlotte knows.

——Although to a large extent, this is because he is thinking about the "Gravity".

You know, most of the time in "Gravity" is actually the heroine's one-man show, which is simply the best choice for the Oscar-winning actress.

This movie would allow Sandra Bullock, whose face was filled with hyaluronic acid at the time, to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, so there would be no problem with Charlize playing the role.

——When Charlotte agreed to collaborate with Charlize on another movie, she actually wanted to do this "Gravity".

This movie can be said to be tailor-made for Charlotte, who is not very good at the literary and artistic themes that Oscar likes.

After all, although Charlize did not put forward any requirements for the quality of the movie, Charlotte, as a husband and director, could not ignore it.

——He still has some thoughts of winning a double Oscar winner.

——After all, that sense of accomplishment...

**********

Of course, Charlotte's consideration of Alfonso Cuaron is more based on the "Harry Potter" series.

"I know Alfonso Cuaron to some extent - judging from movies and past experiences, he is very religious about movies. If he can grow into a film master in the future, I will not doubt it. Yes. But——"

Charlotte pondered for a moment,

"——The "Harry Potter" series must have a strong British style. This is something we have unanimously determined a long time ago. Can a Mexican director grasp this cultural feeling?"

"That's true."

David Heyman nodded,

"Then you think Alfonso Cuaron is not so suitable?"

"That's right."

Charlotte agreed,

"Tell me about the third person!"

“The third guy is also a British director.”

David Heyman said,

"However, unlike Mike Newell, who became famous in Hollywood because of "Four Weddings and a Funeral," this person is still unknown in Hollywood - in fact, I discovered him while I was in England. A television director.”

"TV drama director!?"

"Yes."

David Heyman said somewhat proudly,

"Charlotte, I admit that you are indeed very professional as a director and producer - the two directors I just mentioned can only be said to be one of the many second- and third-tier directors in Hollywood, but you are so familiar with them. I can evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, but I don’t believe it, you know this third person!”

"...So, what's the name of this third person?"

"David Yates!"

"..."

Well, sure enough!

In Charlotte's original time and space, the two Davids from the "Harry Potter" series finally got together——

In his original world, David Yates was the director of the "Harry Potter" series starting from the fifth "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", and even the new director J.K. Rowling later dug The Pit, that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series, was also directed by David Yates.

However, for David Yates, Charlotte really can't make any accurate evaluation like Mike Newell and Alfonso Cuaron before.

——Who makes David Yates have no other well-known works except the "Harry Potter" series and the subsequent "Fantastic Beasts" series?

This guy almost exists for Rowling's magical world.

"I really don't know who this Yates is."

Charlotte had no choice but to tell David Heyman the truth,

“David, can you introduce me to his more famous works?”

"Well..."

David Heyman smiled bitterly,

"If he had some well-known works, I believe you would know him!"

"...What you said makes sense."

"In short, this is a director who does not have a well-known work, but has great potential."

David Heyman smiled and said,

"Recently, a TV series directed by him was just released in the UK called "The World Now". If you are interested, you can watch it."

"OK."

Charlotte nodded,

"But, David, how did he convince you to consider him as your successor as director, even though he was still unknown?"

"It can only be said to be a coincidence!"

David Heyman shrugged;

"In short, after talking with him, I think he has good abilities and his directing concept is consistent with what I want, and -"

“And he’s not famous, so he’s cheaper than other well-known directors, and he’s obedient, right?”

"Yes."

David Heyman didn’t deny Charlotte’s words,

"Charlotte, you know, unlike you, most of the time, in Hollywood movies, especially commercial blockbusters, the director is not actually the core figure who ultimately determines success or failure. The real core figure -"

“It’s the producers and the people who control the whole story, right?”

Charlotte shrugged.

"Just like the original "Star Wars" series, the second highest-rated "Empire Strikes Back" was directed by Irvin Kershner, and the final third "Return of the Jedi" was directed by Richard Marquand Yes, but when everyone talks about Star Wars, the only thing they remember is George Lucas, the Sith Lord?”

"Because George Lucas was the producer, he directed the first one and has been in control of the entire story!"

David Heyman nodded,

"Yes, that's what I meant!" (https:)
