Of course, since it was a random guess, Charlotte herself did not expect her guess to be correct.

But he did realize that there may be more secrets hidden behind Malcolm's nursing home.

Just in case, he felt like he had better investigate it there.

The filming of "The Sixth Sense" provided him with a good excuse.

And if that Dr. Malcolm really turned into a ghost back then, then the actor of the movie with his name may be a springboard for Charlotte to cast spells.

- That's why Charlotte insisted on filming "The Sixth Sense" at Malcolm Nursing Home.

- Because only in this way can the conditions of the springboard be considered valid.

As for whether this will cause a psychological shadow to the actor who plays the male lead, Charlotte doesn't care.

- For men, he will not take care of women and children in the same way.

"However, if it was filming in Malcolm's sanatorium, Rivan and I wouldn't be able to go in and help, would we?"

When Old Gun went to contact the nursing home, Alexis suddenly thought of this question.

"That's true in the short term. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"But in essence, the dragon repels ghosts that don't belong to them, it's just a territorial consciousness. I can think of a way to help you get your access certificate. ”

“...... All right. ”

- Why do you say that dragons are terrifying monsters that are no different from more unsympathetic security personnel?

Alexis felt weird.

Of course, she didn't forget the work Charlotte gave her before.

"I've spoken to Sam Phil and he agreed to be on The Sixth Sense. ”

"Is he afraid?"

"Sort of. ”

Charlotte shrugged.

He felt that Sam Phil, a young boy who was really born with yin and yang eyes, was far less afraid of ghosts than Cole in the story of "The Sixth Sense".

This is actually normal.

After all, unlike in the movie story, in reality, there are more ghosts in Hollywood, but not to that extent.

- Sam Phil probably hasn't seen many of the ghosts that scare him.

"But if his yin and yang eyes are maintained, it will be a matter of time before he sees dangerous ghosts. ”

Charlotte felt that perhaps retracting Sam's yin and yang eyes would be the best help for him.

Of course, it's too early to say that.

Not to mention anything else, the use of underage actors also requires the consent of the guardian.

"Have you consulted Sam's parents?"

Charlotte asked.

"That's nature. ”

Alexis nodded,

"They agreed!"

"That's good!"

Charlotte was satisfied,

"Now, all we need to consider is the choice of two female leads. ”

As she spoke, Charlotte picked up a large stack of actresses' resumes,

"Look, it's all from the CAA!"

"That's a lot!"

Alexis sighed,

"It's no wonder that when I was alive, so many auditions always failed - sure enough, even if it's a small role, if you want to win it, you can't rely on it. ”

“......”

Charlotte didn't comment on Alexis's exclamation.

He deliberately asked Charlize to reveal the news to Pat Kingsley, in addition to selling personal favors, it was also the idea of asking the agency to help screen it first.

Now it seems that it is not unreasonable for CAA to make the packaging business prosperous in Hollywood.

At least, most of the resumes of actresses sent to Charlotte meet his basic requirements-

Cole's mother, a single mom who has a lot of roles in the movie, is the heroine in the truest sense of the word.

This role requires a certain amount of acting skills while not looking too old.

As for the wife of the male protagonist Dr. Malcolm, the role of the male protagonist's spouse can naturally also be said to be the heroine.

According to the script, she can essentially be described as a young and beautiful widow.

However, in order to avoid being seen by the audience in the early stage, she must not fully show the taste of a widow, but more like a cold wife who has a bad relationship with her husband.

So, beautiful with a touch of sadness and depression has become a requirement for this role.

- Neither of these roles is particularly difficult to play.

But to say that acting skills are not needed at all is also impossible.

"It looks like I'm going to have to do an audition. ”

Charlotte pondered.

At the same time, another director is also pondering the problem of the heroine of his movie.

"Do you want to use this Charlize Theron?"

Taylor Heckford was a little hesitant.

As a seasoned director, Heckford has always felt that an actress who is too beautiful is not suitable for a role with a tragic fate and sympathy.

Because, beauty brings jealousy. Jealousy, on the other hand, is the opposite of sympathy.

However, during the audition, Charlize Theron's performance was really good.

In fact, she was the most emotionally expressive of all the actresses who auditioned.

"It seems that even though the three movies she participated in before were all commercial films in the pure sense, her acting skills still got a lot of exercise!"

However, Heckford can't say that his "Devil's Advocate" is not a commercial film -

If it weren't for the box office, he wouldn't have found Keanu Reeves, who was handsome and basically had no facial expressions, to be the leading actor.

- Isn't it because of Keanu Reeves's explosive popularity after "Life and Death"?

Of course, in terms of acting, he also has Al Pacino as a guarantee as a villain.

But this is also the reason why he is hesitant to choose the heroine-

Should you lean more towards acting, or do you want to tend to have more box office?

If you want to lean into acting, Charlize Theron, although she performed well in the audition, she has to be.

- Her acting skills are relatively not mellow enough. It's expressive, but it can be stiff at times.

In fact, as an old-school director, Heckford feels that under his guidance, many savvy actresses can meet the acting needs of the heroine.

"It's nothing more than a few more NGs. ”

This is not really a problem for an old director like Heikford.

What really made Charlize Theron the first choice for the heroine was the popularity of the other party-

Cui in "Happy Death Day" and Katrina in "Guillotine Valley", these two popular roles have given Charlize Theron, an actress who has just turned 20, a pretty good box office appeal.

This kind of popularity is helpful to the box office of "Devil's Advocate".

But on the other hand, it is this popularity that makes director Heckford hesitate.

- Because the other party is not a small character who is unknown and can be at his mercy.

- The other party's agent, Pat Kingsley, put forward very clear restrictions in terms of some shooting scales.

This gave Hekford a feeling of being limited in play.

Although, as a veteran director, he can also shoot the desired effect by borrowing positions, stand-ins and other methods.

But the feeling is always different.

Eventually, Hydford could only sigh.

He remembered a line from his new movie -

"Vanity is undoubtedly the devil's favorite original sin!"
