American Peanuts

Chapter 102 Titanic reunites

Of course, not only can they adapt movies, but they have also filmed many movies in a row. The two protagonists have become popular because of this, and they have become a movie series adapted from novels with a cumulative box office second only to "Harry Potter". They are a real money-grabbing monster.

Charlie Rossi did some calculations, and considering that the movie was released in 09, it should already be in the preparation stage for filming.

But the question is which company actually bid for the auction?Charlie Rossi has never heard any relevant news in the past few days. Most of them are led by small companies outside of the major film studios.

"Artis, look who is behind the movie adaptation of the Twilight novel." Charlie and Artis ordered.

Atis made several calls and said she was inquiring with relevant personnel.

"It seems that our Mr. Merlin is about to wave the magic wand in his hand again?" Nicole Kidman smiled.

"If you don't pick up the money when you see it, it's no different than throwing it into the Great Lakes." Charlie Rossi couldn't help but say.

"Are you so sure that you will get a return? The film industry is a high-risk industry. Some people get rich while others lose everything. To a certain extent, it may be more exciting than Wall Street." Nicole Kidman stood there Present your point of view.

In a sense, she and Militao have highly consistent views. Both of them come from the field of literary films and have always adopted a cautious attitude towards traditional commercial films.

"Youth movies, fantasy clothes, handsome men and beautiful women, and a wide readership, there is no reason not to make money." Charlie shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Well, maybe this is the difference between an investor and a wage earner." Nicole Kidman smiled.

"You have a point. We shouldn't be blind, but we must be decisive when we encounter a suitable opportunity." Charlie felt that he had said something nonsense. If it were so easy to distinguish good opportunities from bad, then everyone should get rich .

Soon Artis came back with the news, and through some clues, she found the agency that purchased the copyright.

"It's a small company called Summit Entertainment. It once invested in "Two Smoking Barrels" and had no particularly outstanding results. It's headquartered in Santa Monica, California."

"It's very close to us. It takes about half an hour to drive there." Nicole Kidman said.

"Help me make an appointment with the other party to see if they need help, such as bringing in new investors, but don't expose my identity." Charlie Rossi additionally told Artis.

You have to ask for directions first before making the next step.

The rest of the time was completely relaxing time. Gal Gadot and Artis had a great time, while Charlie and Nicole Kidman were like two parents, watching them.

"I'm looking forward to playing with you for real next time." Nicole Kidman said goodbye to Charlie with a smile.

"Of course, there will be opportunities in the future." Charlie responded.

She turned around and walked into the courtyard of a high-end villa in Beverly Hills.

"Let's go back." Charlie asked Gal Gadot to start the car.

"Sir, that woman came a day early, this is unfair competition!" Kate Winslet argued.

It's still the same hotel suite, and it's still the same time, the difference is that someone has changed.

Compared with yesterday's gorgeous Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet is obviously more conservatively dressed at this time. She wears a short-sleeved jacket with a collar and a light green knee-length skirt. She has a little smile on her face at the moment. He was so angry, especially after hearing Charlie personally admit that Nicole Kidman was here yesterday, his expression completely lost control.

Charlie, who was sitting across from him, spread his hands and said, "It's the same every morning and every night. I think you should know this."

"No, it's completely different...forget it, let me start the audition." Kate Winslet was a little unhappy, brushed her ears with her hands, and stood up to start the audition.

Originally, she thought she was already guaranteed this role, but unfortunately, there was a problem with Westin Films.

A few days later, Westin Pictures actually changed owners and let Charlie Rossi, a young man, take charge of the overall situation.

Well, Kate Winslet doesn't want to bother with these deals among Hollywood's upper echelons.But the problem is that all previous discussions with the assistant casting director came to nothing.The assistant casting director was a friend of her husband's, so he was supposed to be a sure shot.

However, Charlie Rossi jumped out at this time and wanted to personally check the choice of the heroine.

Kate Winslet vaguely felt that he was probably related to Nicole and Kidman, so she re-selected actors in this way.

Suppressing some displeasure, she began to audition.

Charlie watched very seriously from the sidelines. Although he didn't have his own cooperation, it can be said that Kate Winslet performed well in this part.The problem is that she is still a bit worse than Nicole Kidman. It can be clearly felt that she is not as well prepared as Nicole Kidman.

It is clear at a glance which is better and which is worse.

"I will think about it again and make a detailed comparison. Miss Kate, you can go back and wait." Charlie Rossi explained.

The other party didn't say anything. Charlie sent her to the door. Seeing that she was not very happy, he comforted her extra: "Don't think too much. Although she came a day earlier, I am fair to both of you."

It was just extra comfort at first, but unexpectedly, Kate Winslet suddenly got a little angry.

"Sir, I understand some things, but having said that... I still hope you can truly insist on fairness. This movie definitely has a chance to win the Oscar, and you don't want to ruin it, right?"

"Of course." Charlie nodded.

"By the way, how is your preparation for "Road to Revolution" going?" Charlie asked at this time.

This movie may be a bit niche for domestic audiences, but it is the reunion of the golden couple Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio after Titanic.

The director of this film is actually Kate Winslet's current husband. Of course, the marriage of the two did not last long, and the divorce was announced three years later.

"You know this movie?" Kate Winslet said in surprise.

After getting Charlie's definite answer, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Not very good. There is currently no suitable male lead candidate for such a movie about family."

"What do you think of Leonardo? This is your reunion after Titanic. I believe this gimmick alone can make the movie attract more audiences." Charlie Rossi asked at this time.

"Leonardo? Does he have time? I think this..." Kate Winslet didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The husband did not consider Leonardo. It was not that Leonardo was not qualified, but... he did not consider it at all. Both husband and wife subconsciously believed that Leonardo would not come. After all, this was a film with no gimmicks. A family life movie about a frustrated middle-aged man.

"Trust me, he will be interested, you can try it." Charlie nodded.

According to the normal timeline, they will also find Leonardo at the end, and after their own reminders, the couple will be able to get in touch with Leonardo faster.

In return for changing roles, Charlie felt that he should do her a small favor...
