Charlotte didn't take much advantage of Andrew Kevin Walker.

After all, Paramount was only a little weak and apologetic for hiding from him that he had reached an agreement with Jodie Foster.

Legally, nothing has been wronged.

In fact, if Charlotte wasn't a rising commercial film director, Paramount wouldn't care about his mood at all.

In this case, even if he really opened his mouth, Andrew Kevin Walker couldn't promise him much.

Therefore, Charlotte simply accepted it when she saw it, and he just asked Paramount to agree to two conditions-

First, do not snipe "The Sixth Sense", which is scheduled to be released around Memorial Day.

After all, "Guillotine Valley" is only Charlotte's past work, and the copyright is not in his hands. And whether "The Sixth Sense" can succeed is the key to determining whether Charlotte can sit firmly in the position of a first-line director in the future.

In this case, it is naturally a good choice to exchange the past for a considerable future.

And for Paramount, this condition is also acceptable. After all, there are so many blockbusters in the summer file, why do you want to stare at a "Sixth Sense"?

- Apparently, Andrew Kevin Walker, who reached an agreement with Charlotte on behalf of Paramount, did not expect that "The Sixth Sense" would be such a horror movie......

Second, when "The Sixth Sense" hits the Oscars next year, Paramount will have to help.

After personally participating in one Oscar, Charlotte also had some ideas about the statuette.

Although it is far less crazy than Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio in the future, Charlotte has absolutely no problem if there is a little golden man of his own.

Especially when he received the Best Picture trophy with Jodie Foster and Andrew Kevin Walker, he once again absorbed a lot of condensed mana from it.

— just like last year's Saturn Prize.

After the Saturn Prize, Charlotte studied the trophies she had won for a long time. Now he can confirm that if the film he made himself wins an award, the trophy awarded to him will indeed contain mana.

The amount of mana contained is directly proportional to the importance of the award, and also proportional to the influence of his films.

- Not to mention anything else, the same trophy from the Saturn Award, the trophy in "Fatal Bend" provides far less mana than the one in "Happy Death".

And this time the best movie statuette also confirmed Charlotte's conjecture again.

After he digested the mana he had gained this time, his spell level would be able to go up to a higher level.

The only thing that makes him regret a little is because the little golden man for the best picture is the honor of the entire crew, not his own.

This made him less likely to continue to use this trophy to absorb and improve mana in the future.

And the main reason why he wants a little golden man who belongs to him is also for cultivation-

Charlotte has discovered that the reason why these trophies provide him with mana is not because of their unusual materials.

These trophies are not so much natural artifacts as they are passages – passages between him and the films he makes.

Just like Charlotte discovered before, in this world, some movies with great influence and content that can mobilize the audience's emotions can precipitate or condense magic.

These magic powers are the favorite of many ghosts, which is why he encountered so many ghosts in Hollywood, the birthplace of many movies.

And as a living person, Charlotte is not unable to absorb these magic powers and convert them into her own mana.

It's just that the only movies that can absorb the magic of him are those that he has personally participated in filming.

After all, the magic of movies comes from the human heart, which cannot be seen or touched, and there is no trace.

Ghosts are able to absorb them, often because the content of the film resonates with their essence.

And if Charlotte wants to absorb, she must have a basis - that is, he must have participated in the production of movies.

Especially the films he made under his own leadership can provide more magic.

Of course, this "more" is only relative.

In fact, the process of transforming the magic precipitated by the movie into its own mana is very long, and the efficiency is also very low.

But because it is still the era of the end of the law, the aura is thin, and the progress of ordinary cultivation methods that rely on aura is even slower-

This method of converting movie magic into mana without relying on aura is relatively fast.

This is also the reason why his cultivation speed has greatly increased since the release of his previous "Fatal Bend".

- That's exactly what he did after unconsciously absorbing the magic precipitated by "Fatal Bend".

After that, after more than a year of research, Charlotte finally understood the relationship between magic and mana precipitated by the movie.

This is also thanks to the two trophies of the Saturn Award -

He kept the trophy at home, and every time he approached the trophy to cultivate, he could feel a slight increase in his cultivation speed. Over time, he finally discovered the secret.

And the trophy he won is called a channel, which is also the reason -

Secretly, the connection between him and the magic of his own films is very weak. The award he won, however, would strengthen that connection and speed up the speed at which he could absorb the magic of transformation.

It's like the recognition of a credible award, which can make the public more convinced that the success of the movie comes from him, so that the magic in the vast expanse is better with him.

This is in line with Charlotte's theory that all spells and ghosts come from the human heart, but to confirm this conjecture, we still need to continue to work hard.

However, Charlotte felt that in order to further improve her cultivation speed, it seemed to be a good choice to make a few movies that could not only be box office hits, but also win awards in a row.

After all, box office success can increase the impact of the film, which in turn increases the magic of precipitation.

But to quickly absorb and convert this magic into mana, you need the help of heavyweight awards.

— like Oscar.

From this point of view, Charlotte's desire for the golden man is no different from her peers in the Hollywood circle.

- although the reasons for his desire are completely different.

As a representative of Paramount, although he couldn't imagine the reason why Charlotte longed for the little golden man, Andrew Kevin Walker still said that he could help.

Of course, what neither of them explicitly said was that there had to be no conflict of interest between them.

In fact, Charlotte is very clear that Paramount can agree to these two conditions, which are based on the success of "The Sixth Sense" and the continuation of his directing career.

If he had suffered a Waterloo, it would have been difficult to say what had happened next.

Praise high and step low, Hollywood's survival logic has always been like this.

Charlotte was pondering, but suddenly received an alarm in her heart-

It turned out that the Irish leprechaun who had been sent to Charlize by Charlotte had sent a call to the police.

"Did Sally come across anything strange again?"

Because she had something to talk to Andrew Kevin Walker, Charlotte didn't pull Charlize with her. At this time, he turned his head to look, but he couldn't help but get nervous.
