Chapter 262: Hell Hospital
After discussing with Charlotte, Jodie Foster, as the main investor at present, finally agreed to bring in more investors.
— or the producers who are bigger than her.
Because she understands that although they will thin out the profits they make from the "Sixth Sense" project, in turn, they can help make more profits.
At least, now, with Katherine Kennedy's matchmaking, Warner Bros. has the intention of entering the game.
plus Paramount, who is very interested in Charlotte's new movie because of the success of "Guillotte Valley", and Fox, who has always had a good relationship with Miss Actress......
Judy suddenly discovered that before the filming of "The Sixth Sense" officially started, the predators who wanted to enter the market were already beyond her ability to cope.
"Now, you need to have the ability to play five balls at the same time without landing!"
Miss Actress asked herself if she had the ability to be the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck, so it became a good choice to pull those big-name producers into the game to help.
"It's a shame that I can only be a participant in this new Charlotte movie, not a leader. ”
Judy wrinkled her nose in disgust.
However, she actually knew that from the beginning, she never really took the initiative in working with Charlotte.
- Charlotte Booth, although she can't be compared with her in terms of capital and connections for a while, but she is not a normal person!
Thinking of her past experience, Miss Actress suddenly looked forward to it-
"I really want to see those old guys being played by Charlotte!"
Charlotte had no idea what Jodie Foster expected from him.
After deciding to bring in more big-name producers to help, he was actually relieved.
Unlike the actress who worries about being squeezed out and diluted by other producers, Charlotte has no worries about this.
- Talent can be worthless in Hollywood, and it can be heavier than a thousand pounds.
It all depends on where you occupy.
Now, he has the key script in his hands, and at the same time he is the initiator of the new movie, which gives him a natural advantage -
Although screenwriters are not the most powerful positions in the film industry, once combined with positions such as directors or producers, they will play a role far greater than 1+1.
Such a person is born to be the most suitable person to lead the production of the film.
Even a big director such as Spielberg does not dare to ensure that his grasp of the story is higher than that of such a person.
What's more, he also has a North American box office champion film of the year as a seniority.
In addition, his Ghost Party Studio is a complete behind-the-scenes team - as long as the predators who enter the market in the future still follow the profit-seeking nature of capital, they will not easily beat his idea.
- Without him, the price of replacing him is too great.
So, for Charlotte, it won't be too much trouble to bring more predators in.
Now, his most important work is still the preparation of the film.
- In fact, the more fully prepared the preliminary preparations, the more irreplaceable Charlotte's position becomes.
"That being said, isn't it a bit hasty to decide where to shoot right now?"
The old gun asked.
As a partner who has always worked closely with Charlotte, Mr. Assistant Director does not think there is anything wrong with the rapid progress of the preparations.
- Better than those stillborn projects!
What the old gun really doubts is Charlotte's chosen filming location -
"Malcolm Sanatorium, is this really the right place?"
As a friend of Charlotte, Old Gun also knew that Charlize's mother lived there,
"If nothing else, wouldn't Sally mind?"
"No, it won't. ”
Charlotte is very sure of this,
"I've explained this to her before. ”
"Really?"
Facing the old gun's brave-looking gaze, Charlotte shrugged her shoulders.
He did tell Charlize about his intention to shoot "The Sixth Sense" at Malcolm's Sanatorium, but he didn't give a specific explanation, saying that he wanted to take the opportunity to explore this mysterious place.
Charlize doesn't have a problem with that.
After all, although she didn't tell the girl about the "dragon", Charlotte said that Malcolm Sanatorium was a little weird when she accompanied her to see her mother.
- Then now take the opportunity to make a movie to investigate, and it will be ruthless.
Anyway, in the girl's opinion, her mother's soul has been fixed to the red spider by Charlotte's side.
Then, the exploration of Malcolm's nursing home should not cause too many problems.
Anyway, she didn't mind much.
Of course, this also has to do with the fact that Charlotte didn't lie at all this time.
- He's only hiding a few facts!
"However, if Sally doesn't mind, Malcolm's Sanatorium is a good place to be!"
The old gun groaned.
He doesn't know the twists and turns behind this, but he just thinks about the problem from the perspective of the movie.
"Anyway, in your script, the actor's name is also Malcolm, so you can't have planned to do so, right?"
"You say yes, yes!"
Charlotte shrugged.
What should he say?
In fact, it is really just a coincidence that the name of the male protagonist in "The Sixth Sense" overlaps with the name of Malcolm's nursing home. But even if he says it's a coincidence now, I'm afraid no one will believe it!
Then it's just wrong!
What's more, Charlotte thinks that maybe this can really be a weapon to break the game-
That's right, he chose to shoot the new film "The Sixth Sense" at Malcolm Sanatorium, and the purpose was not just to investigate.
In fact, after investigating, he has found that the problem of Malcolm Sanatorium is indeed not as simple as "dragons"-
First, he went to see Charlize's mother privately again in the name of visitation.
- Of course, the visitation is just an excuse. The real purpose is to investigate.
He found that Charlize's mother was far more than just Charlize in Malcolm's nursing home.
Charlotte didn't find the scattered spirits in the vicinity.
That's weird -
"Could it be that someone is deliberately creating a soul disorder with some evil method? Or is it ...... Something to do with dragons?"
Charlotte couldn't guess why.
At the same time, he also hired a private investigator to investigate the history of Malcolm's nursing home, only to find out that it was a psychiatric hospital with a long history-
Malcolm Sanatorium was founded in 1936 as a hospital for the treatment of mental illness.
The founder was Malcolm Heard, a well-known psychiatrist of the time.
He specializes in lobotomy and even participated in the operation of the famous Hollywood actress Francis Farmer.
Although in the 70s of the 20th century, studies showed that lobotomy is not actually a good treatment, and can even turn people into dementia.
But back then, it was a popular treatment.
At least, for a long time, Malcolm's sanatorium treated some of the mentally ill who seemed "incorrigible" at the time.
Of course, as this surgery was replaced by new technology, Malcolm Sanatorium also abandoned this technology in the footsteps of the times.
But this black history cannot be buried.
And in Charlotte's opinion, the dementia caused by lobotomy really looks very similar to the symptoms of soul disorder -
"It couldn't be that Dr. Malcolm turned into a ghost and was still "operating" all the patients he felt needed to be treated, so he caused a lot of soul sickness, right?"
Charlotte speculated.
