29 December 1995.

On this day, "12 Monkeys" was released.

It should be said that although there were some problems in the previous internal test screenings, many people still had high hopes for this movie.

First of all, the story of the movie is indeed very interesting.

Secondly, the film's male lead, Bruce Willis, is a popular superstar.

And the heroine Charlize Theron and the supporting actor Brad Pitt also have very good box office movies released this year, and they are currently in full popularity......

In theory, this should be a successful movie.

And yet—

"There is no such thing as a "should" in this world. ”

After watching the premiere, Charlotte, who accompanied Charlize to the premiere, quietly gave the verdict in the girl's ear,

"Hanging!"

"Why?"

The girl was obviously a little unconvinced,

"It's a good movie!"

"A good movie doesn't necessarily have a good box office!"

Charlotte shook her head,

"The Shawshank Redemption is a prime example. And—"

He pointed to his nose,

"I smell bewilderment. ”

"Confused?"

Charlize was stunned for a moment, and then reacted,

"Don't understand!?"

Charlotte nodded.

The girl's face suddenly became difficult to look at.

She knew that Charlotte's so-called "confusion" did not mean that he couldn't understand it himself.

As a successful commercial film director, how could he not understand a movie like "12 Monkeys"?

Isn't this Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange?

By "bewilderment", he refers to the audience attending the premiere.

- They don't understand.

Charlize, who knows Charlotte's details, knows that when he says "smells", he really smells-

As a director who often uses ghosts as opponents and casts spells on the audience's emotions at premieres, Charlotte is really sensitive to the emotions of the audience.

He said that he "smelled" the audience's "confusion", so many viewers should really not understand!

In fact, this is also the most worrying problem for the main creators of the crew in the feedback from the previous internal preview screenings.

"Forget it, whatever!"

In the end, Charlize could only relax as Charlotte said, and no longer thought about anything related to the box office.

After all, now that the movies have been released, what can you worry about?

It's impossible to kill a main creator in order to increase the box office, right?

Although the lower limit of people who mix with Hollywood is not high, it is still rare to be as low as that.

In addition to this trick, the general trick has a limited pull on the box office of "12 Monkeys".

"Anyway, with "Guillotine Valley" and "Happy Death Day" as the base, the box office of this movie will almost not affect you at all. ”

Charlotte advised,

"And, after all, it's a good movie, time will tell. Now, leave it to God!"

"Okay. ”

Feeling that Charlotte's words made sense, Charlize finally let go of the worries in his heart.

In fact, the girl will be so uncomfortable, and it is largely caused by Charlotte-

The three films with Charlotte have been box office hits, which makes Charlize go too smoothly ahead.

It can be said that so far, she has not experienced the box office failure of the movie she starred in, and she has not been criticized by harsh film critics.

This reduced her resistance to defeat to a certain extent.

Therefore, in the face of "12 Monkeys", which is currently showing signs of box office failure, Charlize will suffer from gains and losses.

However, after Charlotte's explanation, the girl's mood also adjusted, and she was even in the mood to make Charlotte's jokes,

"How's it going, the audition for the cast of "The Sixth Sense" is going well, right? I heard from Pat that she recommended you a lot of beauties, and a few of them invited you to coffee?"

"To be honest, quite a few. There were also a few who invited me to the bar. ”

Charlotte's face was honest,

"But alas, I prefer Kvass, and if I go to the bar, I'm afraid of being hit by a girl who is drunk and committed. ”

“......”

At this moment, Charlize really wanted to strangle Charlotte a little.

In fact, to this day, she can't understand why she smashed Charlotte into a coma at that time.

Although Charlotte said that it was fate, Charlize always felt a little embarrassed when she thought that this fate came from her weight......

The girl knew that Charlotte did not take the opportunity to steal it.

It's not just trust, it's because she's experienced Charlotte's firepower firsthand before she came today.

- That impact, it really looks like it's been holding back for a while.

Even in the dream world, the two can still "communicate deeply", and even because there is no physical limit, they are not afraid of injury, and the communication is more enjoyable and has more tricks.

But after a long time, Charlize still found that there was still a difference between that and the "communication" in the real world.

That's not to say that the real world feels better, but it's okay to say that each has its own merits.

In fact, girls even find that Charlotte tends to be particularly impactful when it comes to meeting in reality through "communication" in dreams for a long time.

Truth be told, Charlize would even feel a little unbearable.

However, she can also use this to confirm Charlotte's condition.

"If you miss this time, you will have to wait a long time next time there are so many beauties for you to choose from!"

The girl continued to joke with Charlotte.

In this regard, Mr. Director just smiled and did not say anything.

At present, after audition, the actors of the four most important roles in "The Sixth Sense" have actually been decided-

After much consideration, Bruce Willis finally agreed to play the male lead, Dr. Malcolm;

and Dr. Malcolm's beautiful wife, played by Olivia Williams from CAA;

The little boy Cole, still as planned, is played by Sam Phil, and his parents have no opinion;

As for Cole's mom, it is played by Tony Colette. She is also an actor for CAA.

"Pat Kingsley owes me a favor this time. ”

Charlotte explained to Charlize the main cast of her new movie, and the girl's face was a little gloomy after listening to it.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't ...... this time"

"It's okay, we'll have a chance to make movies together in the future!"

Charlotte promised Charllotte.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

The girl's eyes smiled playfully,

"Speaking of which, didn't you say you were going to go to Malcolm Sanatorium to shoot on location?

"It's settled. ”

Charlotte nodded.

Although it was his original plan to go to Malcolm Sanatorium to shoot the location of "The Sixth Sense", he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

After Lao Gun contacted the current director of the nursing home, the other party readily agreed to the crew's request for filming.

The dean said that in the early '80s, there was a movie that was filmed at Malcolm Sanatorium, and now with the crew of "The Sixth Sense" it is nothing. ”

That's what the old gun told me when he came back. ”

Charlotte explained.

"You've made movies before?"

Charlize listened, and was also a little curious,

"Do you know what movie it is?"

"The dean said he couldn't remember!"

"It's not going to be Jack Nicholson's One Flew Over the Asylum, right?"

"How is that possible?"

Charlotte couldn't help but laugh,

"One Flew Over the Asylum was released in 1975, and according to the director, the film was shot in the early 80s. ”

"Oh!"

The girl felt a little sorry, but in a blink of an eye, she remembered another interesting question,

"Is the director of the sitarium also called Malcolm, the same name as the male protagonist of your new movie?"

"Not really. ”

Charlotte shrugged,

"Malcolm was the original dean, and he died in 1982. The place of his death seems to be in a nursing home. ”
