Chapter 261: Little Boy

Charlotte didn't expect Bruce Willis to be so hesitant about her invitation.

In fact, he did write the script for "The Sixth Sense" based on Bruce Willis.

- Who made him remember that "The Sixth Sense" in the original world was starring Bruce Willis?

Now, he has even more headaches for the movie "The Sixth Sense", which is actually two other problems-

First, who will play the little boy Cole in it?

Since the time was more than three years earlier than the version of 1999 in his memory, the actor who originally played the little boy was definitely not suitable.

In this case, who should play Cole, a young boy born with yin and yang eyes?

The role of Cole is even more important to the movie than Dr. Malcolm played by Bruce Willis to a certain extent.

As many film directors say, animals and children are the hardest things to master in movies.

If they don't shoot well, they can ruin a movie;

It's filmed, but they can make a movie a classic.

In Charlotte's original world, Haley Joe Osmond, who played Cole, was a model in this regard.

His performance made "The Sixth Sense" a film and television classic.

Unfortunately, due to time, Charlotte couldn't use him.

After all, children are different from adults, and they may grow up a lot worse than they do in a year. How much more is it three years?

In order to make her film "The Sixth Sense" a success in 1996, Charlotte must find his little boy Cole.

It's really not easy.

"Why don't you let Sam Phil try?"

Seeing that Charlotte had been frowning, Alexis, who was temporarily acting as his secretary, came up with an idea.

"This ......"

For Sam Phil, a boy who was really born with yin and yang eyes, Charlotte did think about it. The reason why he didn't make up his mind was precisely because the other party was really yin and yang.

For an ordinary boy who doesn't have a yin and yang eye, playing the role of Cole is essentially nothing more than a performance.

Not to mention whether the acting is good or not, at least it will not leave any psychological wounds that are difficult to heal.

But for Sam Phil, it's a nightmare that reminds him of the past and even the present.

This kind of thing is no different from the experiential way of acting.

And to let a child try the experiential performance method of "both healing psychological trauma and creating psychological trauma", Charlotte feels that it is a bit beyond the bottom limit.

"So you're worried about this!"

After listening to Charlotte's explanation, Alexis couldn't say anything, but she still felt that she should go and talk to Sam Phil.

"Maybe it's not a burden on him! At least, I don't think he's scared of the ghosts anymore. ”

"Really?"

Seeing that Charlotte was noncommittal, Alexis gave another reason,

"Besides, don't you think that for Sam, who really has yin and yang eyes and can see ghosts, it is not enough to just escape or say that he is not afraid of ghosts?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Charlotte's eyes suddenly became solemn when she looked at Alexis.

"I think he needs to be able to deal with the ghosts. ”

Alexis looked at Charlotte equally solemnly,

"Just like you!"

"Like me?"

Charlotte understood what Miss Valkyrie meant,

"You want me to teach him spells?"

Alexis nodded.

"Looks like you like this little guy a lot!"

Charlotte laughed.

"Aren't you the same?"

Alexis muttered,

"Otherwise, you would be so kind and worried that he would be traumatized?"

“...... Maybe!"

Charlotte sighed,

"It may just be empathy, but there is some truth to what you say. I'll leave this matter to you!"

"What?"

"Sam Phil!"

Charlotte shrugged at Miss Valkyrie, who looked confused,

"Since you recommended it, it's up to you to take care of him - whether it's learning spells with me or starring in The Sixth Sense. ”

“...... All right. ”

Faced with such a simple boss, Miss Valkyrie, who was the temporary secretary, could only look helpless.

In any case, after temporarily determining the candidate for the little boy Cole, Charlotte's mood finally relaxed a lot.

As for the second question or trouble, in fact, to a certain extent, it can be said to be the trouble of happiness.

As Bruce Willis's agent Nicholas learned, there seem to be a lot of bigwigs who want to participate in the project of "Sixth Sense" -

Frank Marshall and Catherine Kennedy;

Steven Spielberg, who was brought in by them;

There are also many successful works so far, and Jerry Bruckheimer will be even more famous in the future......

Originally, Charlotte didn't plan to find too many production companies to cooperate with the movie "Sixth Sense".

In his original plan, the Ghost Party studio contributed some money, Jodie Foster's "egg" company contributed some money, and then it was enough to find one of the seven major Hollywood production companies to do investment and distribution.

However, Jodie Foster's production company has been a little short of funds for a while because of its recent investment in several films in a row.

Of course, as one of the most shrewd people in Hollywood, Miss Actress will not give up a project that looks very promising because of this-

She came up with the idea of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

However, how many of them have been in Hollywood for a long time are fools!

Soon, the gossip that "the new work directed by the 1995 North American box office champion "Guillotine Valley" is about to be launched" quietly spread, and then-

"All these famous producers are like vultures! smell a little bit of dollars, and they come right away!"

On the phone, Jodie Foster complains to Charlotte.

“......”

Imagine the appearance of the actress wrinkling her nose and being annoyed, and Charlotte almost laughed out loud for a moment.

He felt that Jodie Foster was simply too shrewd this time-

Those famous producers are all well-connected in Hollywood, and when they see her borrowing moves, how can they not guess that she is short of funds and has projects she wants to invest in?

And Charlotte didn't have long to register the script with the Writers Guild......

"I know I've been so successful lately that I've forgotten that I'm still a rookie in the Producers' League. ”

Jodie Foster was also reflecting on the phone,

"But the problem is, those guys would rather take the risk and invest in it themselves than lend it to me - it seems that they are very optimistic about this project, or rather about Charlotte!"

"Really?"

Charlotte thought about it and felt that she might really be underestimating the significance of being the box office champion of the year in North America.

However, the most important thing right now is -

"Do you think you should let their money in?"

Over the phone, Charlotte consulted the actress.
