Chapter 287: The Time to Say Goodbye

"This guy ......"

Watching Charlotte walk towards the background of the monitor, Bruce Willis rubbed his nose.

As a veteran actor who has been on the set for more than ten years, of course he can realize that Charlotte came to chat with them just now, not simply sighing and saying goodbye.

Mr. Director is actually subtly helping Sam Phil, a child, adjust his emotions.

As for what he said, although it was not a lie, it could make his old fritter involuntarily a little sour in just a few words, and Bruce Willis didn't believe it if there was no performance in it.

"Mr. Director's acting skills are superb!"

Bruce Willis muttered to himself,

"However, in any case, it is true that as he said, the filming of "The Sixth Sense" is almost over!"

As an old fritter who has experienced a lot of movie crews, Bruce Willis naturally does not have so many sorrows and farewells like children.

However, thinking that the filming of this movie is about to end, he does feel a little reluctant in his heart.

——This is a rare filming process for him to be able to perform well in literary and drama, especially the feeling of being done in one go and hearty during filming, which makes him feel even more reluctant to end the right.

And this time, he got along really well with the people in the crew, including Sam Phil, who played the most against him.

Bruce Willis lowered his head and looked at Sam Phil, who was holding a toy creep-

At this time, Sarah Bomo and Andrea Poliche sang "Time To Say Goodbye" on the set......

"This sensational bastard!"

Bruce Willis twitched his sour nose, and after all, he did not choose to resist the aroused emotions in his heart.

He stretched out his fist and touched it lightly with the fist handed by Sam Phil, which was a farewell between men......

“Action!”

"The Moment of Farewell" didn't play on the set for too long after all, and after a little bit of atmosphere, filming began again-

Bruce Willis, no, it's "Dr. Malcolm" who is having the final conversation with Cole.

"You've done a great job!"

Cole had just finished a performance in a stage play organized by the school, and he was getting along well with his friends, and when Dr. Malcolm first met him, his withdrawn and desolate appearance was completely gone.

This left Dr. Malcolm feeling that his work of helping the child was over.

- It's time to say goodbye!

Cole seemed to realize this, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said to Dr. Malcolm,

"I can make your wife listen to you. ”

"Talk to her while she's asleep, so that she can hear you unconsciously. ”

The doctor didn't speak, he just looked at Cole with a relieved smile on his face.

Cole hesitated,

"We shouldn't see each other again, right?"

After a period of time together, Cole and Dr. Malcolm became acquainted. At this parting moment, Cole was a little reluctant.

Dr. Malcolm was actually a little reluctant, but as an adult, he knew that it was an inevitable process—

"I've done everything I can, and the rest needs you to communicate with your relatives again. ”

“......”

Cole was still a little reluctant. For him, who has few friends because he can see ghosts, Dr. Malcolm is a rare friend.

He was silent for a moment, then showed a smile that could be seen,

"We can pretend we'll see each other tomorrow – just pretend. ”

"yes, just pretending. ”

Dr. Malcolm smiled.

“Good!”

The scene ended, and director Charlotte gave a thumbs up from behind the monitor.

A few days after this scene ended, the filming of the entire "Sixth Sense" was quickly completed.

Bruce Willis was still a little addicted to the drama and continued to shoot other films.

Sam Phil didn't "pretend to see each other tomorrow", and he did come to the Ghost Party Studios a lot, sometimes with Alexis, sometimes with Charlotte.

He said that after the filming of "The Sixth Sense", he is no longer afraid of ghosts.

Of course, these are all hiccupes.

For the actors, the end of the shoot means the end of the work. But for the director and other behind-the-scenes staff, this is just the beginning.

Heavy post-production work awaits.

In particular, because of Katherine Kennedy's matchmaking, the release of "The Sixth Sense" was finally handed over to Warner Bros.

Before Disney rose strongly in the 21st century through a large number of acquisitions, Warner Bros., which held DC Comics and was backed by Time Warner Group, has always been the leader of the seven first-tier companies in Hollywood.

Although this company is slow to make decisions because of the serious infighting among the company's executives, its profound foundation and talent training mechanism ensure that they are strong at the executive level.

In particular, Warner Bros. also has a trait that is envied and hated by other Hollywood companies, that is, it is willing to spend money.

Because of the strong support of Time Warner Group, Warner Bros. often plays what it means to be rich in front of its Hollywood counterparts.

Not to mention anything else, making a movie and finding three or four Oscar-winning actresses to play soy sauce as supporting roles is Warner's favorite thing to do.

– even if it's pure waste.

Warner Bros. executives seem to share a common superstition that hoarding a few more actresses in a movie can greatly increase the probability of box office success.

For this reason, some people even privately nicknamed Warner Bros. "Kai Zihua".

Of course, if it was just a triumphant, Warner Bros. would not be one of the top seven in Hollywood.

In fact, Warner is a company that is very good at spending money.

In other words, Warner has more experience in the field of producing big-budget films than other Hollywood companies.

They produce blockbusters that don't undercost because of too little investment, and don't overrun costs because they're too much work.

This kind of awareness of being willing to spend money but paying attention to costs makes Warner unable to make a stunning work like "Titanic", but it will not drag the company to death because of a movie like "The Wind Whisperer".

To put it simply, it is the standard of Warner's blockbusters.

And such a Warner, in the face of the release of the movie "The Sixth Sense", appeared to be very sincere.

Because as the director of the 1995 North American box office champion film, Charlotte has the capital to make Warner pay attention.

What's more, the actor of this movie is still Bruce Willis.

In 1996, as an action superstar, Bruce Willis's box office appeal was still very high.

Coupled with the optimism of many bigwig-level producers such as Katherine Kennedy, these have strengthened Warner's confidence in the movie "Sixth Sense".

Therefore, even though "The Sixth Sense" is not a pure Warner bloodline film, they still promised to get more than 2,800 open screens for the film, and prepared a detailed publicity plan.

However, there is a premise for all this, that is, they hope that "The Sixth Sense" can be released around Memorial Day in 1996, and set the first shot for Warner's summer season.

This makes the post-production work of "The Sixth Sense" not be carried out in a good way, but must go all out.

Fortunately, this time Charlotte is a screenwriter, director and producer, and she has the complete final editing rights in her hands, so she will not be hindered.

This made the post-production work of "The Sixth Sense" less controversial and repetitive, and everyone just had to think about the direction Charlotte had set and work together.

- Although this also made Charlotte's pressure and responsibility suddenly greater, it was also the inevitable price of gaining power.

In short, in this hectic post-production atmosphere, March 25, 1996 arrived-

The 68th Academy Awards have begun.
