However, in the next Best Cinematography award, "The Sixth Sense" lost to "The English Patient".

"It's okay, those old men in the Academy of Science and Arts have a special hate to let someone win an award in the first place. ”

Charlotte whispered comfort to Addison Young.

And the latter nodded, with a professional smile on his face,

"I know. ”

Indeed, as Charlotte said, the current Oscar judges hate to win for a second time.

The most recent winner, Tom Hanks, who won the Best Actor award for the second time because of "Forrest Gump", would not have any hope of success if it weren't for the fact that "Forrest Gump" was too strong.

INTERVIEWER In the individual Oscar awards, winning once and winning twice have completely different meanings.

Anyone who can win the award twice can be called a master. What's more, it's a re-election?

So Addison Young's failure is quite normal.

Fortunately, not long after, the crew of "The Sixth Sense", or Charlotte herself, achieved another success -

"Best Original Screenplay Winner, Charlotte Booth, 'The Sixth Sense'!"

Standing on the stage to announce the news was Jodie Foster, who was wearing a silver-gray dress and a bright silver gown.

And when the actress spat out Charlotte's name, Charlotte only felt Charlize grasp her hand tightly.

- I said she was lace edging!

Charlotte smiled bitterly in her heart, but didn't explain anything more.

He just hugged the people nearby, then walked up to the stage and took over the ugly-looking Mr. Oscar from Jodie Foster's hands-

"Before the filming of "The Sixth Sense", I told many people that this is actually a love story, but unfortunately no one believes it. ”

Speaking of which, Charlotte raised the little golden figure in her hand,

"But now it seems that everyone believes it - I feel your love!"

"Hahaha......"

Many people at the scene laughed, even Jodie Foster, who was standing on the side, had a light smile on her face.

She also jokingly hugged Charlotte as a sign of "love".

This left Charlotte a little speechless.

In fact, the moment the golden man representing the best original screenplay arrived, Charlotte did feel something, but it had nothing to do with love-

That's a huge magic, the magic deposited by the movie "The Sixth Sense".

"This award has greatly broadened the magic channel, and it has brought a lot of mana at once—after all of it is absorbed and transformed, the mana will also increase a lot. 」

Charlotte was secretly happy in her heart, but she said the usual acceptance speech such as "thank God and thank you".

- Of course, this line was also prepared in advance, but the actress's on-the-spot performance caught him a little off guard.

However, in any case, Charlotte was still very happy that another little golden figure arrived.

It's just that the next three awards related to the crew of "The Sixth Sense" didn't go so smoothly-

Best Actor, unsurprisingly flew.

Although Bruce Willis has done some public relations out of his own pocket, as an action star, he is too much to be disliked by the Oscars, so it is actually a normal thing to run along.

Charlotte comforted Bruce Willis, who became more and more bitter because of frustration, and worried about her best director.

Sure enough—

"Best Director, Anthony Minghella, The English Patient!"

Mel Gibson, who won the best director last year, announced the result, which did not exceed Charlotte's expectations after all.

In the Oscars, which are getting older and more anti-commercial, after all, it is purely literary films like "The English Patient" that are more dominant.

Charlotte could only applaud helplessly while thinking about what film to make later.

- Now that the post-production of "Hell Detective" is almost complete, he has been idle for the time being.

Although, in order to completely complete the seal on Xu Fu, he also needs to make "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

But this is an adaptation of the film after all, and the preparation time is very long - if nothing else, it is not an easy task just to audition the young actors of the Gryffindor trio.

What's more, there are a lot of magical scenes to prepare.

Even if Charlotte had a spell to cheat, she would still face a lot of difficulties.

It is likely that the preparatory work will be completed by the beginning of 1998.

Charlotte felt that the time in between, at his usual pace, was enough to make another movie.

It's just that Charlotte hasn't thought about what type of film she wants to make this time.

At this time, a magnetic male voice interrupted his thinking-

"Best Picture, 'The Sixth Sense'!"

Al Pacino, who presented the award, is also an old acquaintance of Charlotte - the other party has just made a cameo in his "Detective of Hell" - but the result announced by the other party was beyond Charlotte's expectations......

"This year, the Oscars are bowing to commercial films again!"

At the Vanity Fair party after the Oscars, Jodie Foster chatted with Charlotte and Charlize.

"It can't be considered a bow, right?"

Charlotte felt that Judy's statement was not quite right,

"You know, 'The English Patient' won seven awards, compared to four. ”

"You can't be wrong about that. ”

Jodie Foster nodded, and she looked at Charlize on the side again,

"Sally, what do you think?"

"Who can say the Oscar jury's affairs!"

Charlize shrugged,

"However, I think it's actually normal for "The Sixth Sense" to win this year's best film. ”

"How?"

"Look at the influence!"

Charlize is very straightforward,

"Although "The English Patient" is very popular with the Oscars, its influence in the United States should be far less than that of "The Sixth Sense", right?"

"It seems like that's the case. ”

Miss Actress accepted Charlize's point of view.

But even so, Charlize still has a faint hostility towards Jodie Foster, who often appears by Charlotte's side and works with her.

The two quickly left the scene of the Vanity Fair party, as for what to do......

Anyway, in the next day's Oscar report, there were not many people who complained that "The English Patient" lost to "The Sixth Sense" in the best film.

No way, as a movie with a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, the influence of "The Sixth Sense" is there!

In particular, as Sam Phil said in his acceptance speech, the phrase "I see dead people!" has become a code word for children to communicate with adults, and has become a social phenomenon.

What's wrong with such a phenomenal movie winning the Oscar for Best Picture?

Even, for a while, because of the addition of the Oscars, "The Sixth Sense", which has been in theaters for more than half a year, has once again received intensive attention from the media.

Even literary films like "The English Patient", which shined at this year's Oscars, could not hide its popularity.

——Compared with sad spring and autumn and moaning without disease, people are more often willing to face some things around them.

The word "down-to-earth" seems easy, but it is quite laborious to do.

"The Sixth Sense" conforms to the mainstream values of North America with the family as the core, and it adds a lot of points to it.

And with this gust of wind, the videotapes and DVDs of "The Sixth Sense" were released.

In this case, the harvest is naturally very rich.

And equally profitable is the publicity work of "Hell Detective......
