Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 321: What about miss

Although in the filming process, most of the time, the director's work is more important than the actors.

However, when it comes to film promotion, the opposite is true.

As a director who works behind the scenes, under normal circumstances, it is far less than the appeal of a star to the audience.

Even in the 21st century, there are directors with personal brands such as Christopher Nolan, but overall, the director’s box office appeal is still not strong.

Charlotte never thought that he could have a star-like appeal.

So, when he heard what Barry Mendel said, he was really stunned.

"There are still a lot of audiences here for me!?"

"Yes!"

Even Barry Mendel has a wonderful expression,

"I couldn't believe it before, but after a detailed audience survey, we still probably found the reason—"

Having said that, Barry Mendleton paused.

"In the final analysis, it's still because of the several movies you made before, the overall story style is very obvious-many viewers think you like to use reversal, which makes them feel a kind of surprise."

"And then became my fan?"

Charlotte still couldn't believe it.

"This should be the main factor!"

Barry Mendel smiled.

"However, I think you have a beautiful girlfriend and helped a lot in this regard!"

"Sally!?"

"Yes!"

Barry Mendel explained,

"According to the questionnaire survey, many viewers do like your movies, but they will become your fans. Another opportunity is to see you always accompany Charlize to various ceremonies."

"So I followed Sally and got a familiar face?"

"more or less!"

Barry Mendel gave a smirk.

"To be precise, the audience saw a good-looking mysterious man always attending various events with the increasingly popular Charlize Theron, and they began to wonder who this happy **** was, and then they found out— —"

"Ah! This guy turned out to be the director of three successful commercial films!? And, Charlize Theron can be said to be his muse!!?"

Barry Mendel learned the tone of the audience,

"In short, for various reasons, after the release of "The Sixth Sense", you not only have the status of a big director, but you also have the box office appeal of a super big director. Congratulations!"

"Thanks!"

Charlotte smiled, but wondered in her heart.

"Maybe I can also learn from Nolan in the future. In the introduction of the movie, I added the sentence "This is a Charlotte movie"?"

********

Of course, "Charlotte's Movies" such a compelling title is still a future thing.

At present, the most important thing for him is the release of "Sixth Sense".

With a total box office of 60 million US dollars in the first week, in the 1996 era, it is not a problem to win the box office championship next week.

And it was Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible" that was squeezed out of the box office by "Sixth Sense".

"Unexpectedly, such a horror movie that is not terrible can actually squeeze me down!"

In his mansion in Beverly Hills, Tom Cruise is sighing to his wife Nicole Kidman and agent Pat Kingsley.

"Tom, I told you a long time ago that Charlotte Booth has the potential to become a great director."

Pat Kinsley shrugged, feeling a little helpless in the hindsight of her chief client.

Because it is also Charlize's agent, Pat Kingsley knows more about Charlotte, who is Charlize's boyfriend.

In fact, during the preparation of "Sixth Sense", she had considered whether to help Tom Cruise take down the role of Dr. Malcolm.

Although Charlotte once claimed that he was designed in accordance with the image of Bruce Willis. But if there is Tom Cruise, who needs Bruce Willis?

Pat Kinsley felt that, at least in terms of appearance, his chief client was Bruce Willis with a bitter face.

What's more, Tom's popularity and box office appeal have not declined since "Rising Clouds".

And his acting skills are better than Bruce Willis...

Anyway, in the face of Bruce Willis, the agent lady felt that her chief client was a sure win.

However, Tom Cruise himself expressed no interest in the role of Dr. Malcolm.

So Pat Kingsley could only watch an opportunity to work with Charlotte ran away.

"Tom, you should really consider taking this movie!"

Now, seeing the amazing box office results of "Sixth Sense", the agent lady can't help feeling a bit resentful for her wayward chief customer.

But Tom Cruise didn't care.

"The movie "Mr. Sweetheart" is not bad too!"

He smiled and waved his hand.

"And, Pat, you should know that I have never been very cold with horror movies."

"……All right!"

Now that her client didn't feel sorry, Pat Kingsley stopped talking too much.

However, looking at the box office situation in the new week, there is still a trace of regret in the heart of the broker woman——

Although the box office that exploded in the first week was a bit of a special effects blockbuster, the follow-up box office trend of "Sixth Sense" was far more stable than that of the blockbuster.

Of course, after entering the working day, the box office of any movie will drop. However, compared to "Mission Impossible" and "Tornado", which were also released in May, the box office drop of "Sixth Sense" was much smaller.

Even on Wednesday, the box office of "Sixth Sense" rebounded again, breaking through the $10 million mark in a single day.

"Before the second weekend is reached, the box office of this movie may be able to reach hundreds of millions, right?"

Pat Kingsley thought to herself,

"Maybe, I should invest more resources on Charlize Theron's side. After all..."

***********

Regardless of what Pat Kingsley, a shrewd female agent, thinks, the box office of "Sixth Sense" is indeed as she expected, surpassing the $100 million mark.

And on the second weekend, 40 million US dollars were harvested again in two days.

-Less than two weeks after the release, the total box office reached 140 million U.S. dollars! ! !

This box office result is quite scary even in the summer file where the box office is generally high.

It can be said that Charlotte's "Sixth Sense", following "Drop Head", has once again become a strong contender for the annual box office championship in North America.

Moreover, the reputation of "Sixth Sense" can be said to be vastly different compared to "Driftwood" or other commercial blockbusters.

At least, Roger Albert's two-thumbs evaluation is not something that can be obtained in any movie.

Film critics generally like this film with sincere feelings and horror with warmth.

And most ordinary viewers prefer the exquisite plot design of "Sixth Sense" and the very strong reversal ~ lightnovelpub.net~ carefully recalled but reasonable ending.

Even, "Iseedeadpeople (I can see the dead)!" has become the mantra of many children who have watched movies.

This makes the children's parents a little headache.

However, after being baptized by the feelings of Cole's mother and son in "Sixth Sense", most parents will not directly despise their bear children.

They had to learn from Cole's mother in the movie and be kind to bear children.

This feeling of suffocation brought to parents is probably the only negative effect brought about by the enthusiasm of "Sixth Sense"!

In this case, the media naturally interviewed the crew of the "Sixth Sense", and the major actors such as Bruce Willis and Sam Phil would naturally not let it go.

However, what makes the reporters depressed is that the main director, Charlotte Booth, has never been found.

Where is Charlotte?
