Chapter 303: The Second Coming

Charlotte didn't tell Charlize the true identity of the nameless ghost in the end.

The girl was indeed curious, but seeing that Charlotte deliberately didn't say anything, she was smart not to ask.

After studying the law with Charlotte, she gradually understood-

Sometimes, it's not that Charlotte doesn't want to tell her the specifics.

Rather, according to the rules of spells, things can change once they are spoken.

In particular, in front of ghosts, the human brain is not so secretive.

A person who is good at spells or a goblin can steal all kinds of secrets from dreams at any time, just like Charlotte did before.

Therefore, the best way to keep a secret is not to remain silent, but to not know it at all.

That way, even the ghosts are helpless.

On the night of Oscar's day, Charlize and Charlotte just spent a cozy night in a small cottage in Beverly Hills.

- in the same bed.

And Charlize also woke up in the arms of a man for the first time in the morning.

"It's ironic, he's been together for so long, and he's used so many places on his body, but it's the first time he's sleeping with him......

Feeling the warmth of Charlotte's arms, the girl suddenly felt that this feeling was not bad,

"My fear of being too close is getting better again......, isn't it?

Thinking of the back, the girl became a little scared again.

Charlotte didn't know what was going on in her girlfriend's heart.

Or rather, he already knew that he had a troublesome girlfriend, but there was nothing he could do other than wait patiently and keep trying.

- Who made a girl have such a heavy shadow of childhood, and always feel afraid of being too close to others?

To be honest, after Oscar, it is already very good to be able to sleep with her in her arms from time to time when she is in a better state.

Charlotte felt that as long as she was given time, Charlize would eventually get used to it.

Now, his main job is the post-production and pre-promotion of "The Sixth Sense".

After several negotiations, he and Warner Bros., who was in charge of the distribution, set the release date on May 31, a few days after Memorial Day.

Then, the question of how to break through also arises. After all—

May 10, Warner's Tornado;

May 22, Paramount's "Mission Impossible";

July 3, Fox's "Independence Day";

According to Charlotte's memory, these three blockbusters are the same summer blockbusters as "The Sixth Sense", but they are not easy to deal with.

Among them, "Independence Day", as the representative work of disaster film king Roland Emmerich, is extremely lethal in this era when special effects technology is not yet popular.

In particular, because of the name, the other party will inevitably get a bonus for the Independence Day holiday......

However, the schedule of "Independence Day" is almost a whole month later than "The Sixth Sense", which should not have too direct an impact.

In a similar situation, there is also "Tornado" -

This is the same as "Independence Day", which is a disaster movie.

It should be said that in the era when film special effects technology has just begun to rise, the genre of disaster movies has indeed flourished.

Many blockbusters that exploded at the box office were disaster movies, such as "Tornado", "Independence Day" and-

"Titanic".

It wasn't until the further development of special effects technology, especially special effects action technology, that superheroes began to collectively log on to the big screen, and the dominant position of disaster films in commercial films was completely replaced.

And now, it is the era when disaster movies are in the ascendant.

Therefore, "Tornado" still has a box office advantage.

Although it, like "Independence Day", has a certain time gap from the release schedule of "The Sixth Sense", the problem is that the film is also distributed by Warner Bros.

Charlotte was concerned that the unreasonable distribution of publicity power on the part of Warner Bros. led to a lack of publicity support for "The Sixth Sense," which was expected to be released three weeks after "Tornado......

Of course, the biggest trouble is "Mission Impossible".

Charlotte, who comes from the future, naturally knows the classic action movie series "Mission Impossible".

This series has a strong box office harvesting ability, and the schedule is only one week away from "The Sixth Sense", which is definitely the biggest opponent of "The Sixth Sense".

In particular, this movie stars Tom Cruise.

Even in 2017, when he was over fifty, fell out with CAA, and experienced various suppressions from Paramount, Tom Cruise still has a lot of popularity.

And now in 1996, it is the time when his appearance and popularity are in full swing.

At this time, the name Tom Cruise alone was worth 30 million at the box office, as evidenced by the 1994 release of "Interview with the Vampire".

Although Charlotte is very confident in the quality of "The Sixth Sense", he can't say that he can win in the face of Tom Cruise in peak condition and "Mission Impossible", which is also a classic series.

"If only we could stagger the schedules of the two!"

Charlotte pondered to herself.

Of course, he also knew that it was impossible -

Although Paramount has reached an agreement with him that it will not be a special sniper when "The Sixth Sense" is released, this is not the same thing as asking them to adjust their summer focus films.

As for "The Sixth Sense", it adjusted its schedule and postponed its release?

Let's not say that this is a sign of weakness at all, and it is not easy to adjust the schedule, just when it will be delayed, it is a problem-

Don't forget, there is still "Independence Day" waiting in July, and it can't be postponed until August or September, right?

As a result, the cost of waiting for a movie will rise dramatically.

"It seems that I can only go hand-to-hand with "Mission Impossible"!"

Charlotte made a judgment in her heart,

"Then, after the release, let's not talk about it, during the promotion period, at least we must maintain an equal balance in popularity!"

Charlotte began to work on propaganda options......

Time just passed day by day, and the later stages of "The Sixth Sense" were gradually completed. And before the movie was released, Charlotte ushered in another surprise -

Nominations for the 1996 Saturn Award were announced.

Because it is aimed at a movie released in 1995, "Guillotine Valley", which was the annual box office champion in North America in 1995, is naturally on the list-

"Best Horror Film Nomination, Best Actor Nomination, Best Actress Nomination, Best Director Nomination - wow, "Guillotine Valley" has gained a lot at this year's Saturn Awards!"

In front of Charlotte, the white-haired Jay Leno read the list of nominees for the Saturn Award seriously,

"Charlotte, I remember after last year's Saturn Prize, you said, 'I'll be back!', right?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"I did say that last year, so I'm back now, and by the way, I'm back with that dress—"

As he spoke, he pointed with his hand, and a photo of Jay Reno wearing an eighteenth-century lady's dress immediately appeared on the big screen in the live broadcast room.

There was a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room.

- That's right, Charlotte is back on The Jay Reno Tonight Show.
