However, although Charlotte set up the FLAG, there were still no accidents during the filming of "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds".

Charlotte has her own explanation for this,

"Sally, do you know what was the first thing people did in ancient China when they were going to officially start using force against the emperor's rule?"

"Parade?"

"What's the use of a parade instead of a dinner party!?"

Charlotte solemnly said,

"The first step of resistance is to erect the banner of resistance - that is, to set up a flag!"

“......”

It sounded good, but Charlize always felt that something was wrong.

Charlotte went on to explain,

"The so-called success is actually to stand tall with the FLAG of failure all over your body - it is the same to resist the emperor, and it is the same to make movies. How many things in this world will be absolutely successful? After all, it is man-made, and I am afraid that FLAG will not solve the problem. ”

“...... Well, you're right!"

Charlize was a little uncomfortable with Charlotte's sudden chicken soup for the soul.

She asked the other party why he suddenly remembered such a strange statement, but only got one answer-

"Hold it!"

“......”

Just when Charlotte was filming "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" with a little depression, his reputation in Hollywood was even greater.

This is largely thanks to the box office results of "Hell Detective" -

At this time, "Hell Detective" has been screened all over the world.

In the United States, its cumulative box office is 390 million US dollars, ranking first in the current 1997 North American annual box office list;

And in overseas markets other than North America, the box office of $420 million is also quite impressive.

- It can be said that the global box office with a total of 810 million US dollars is simply a myth in 1997.

- If there isn't a bigger myth coming at the end of the year.

In short, because Charlotte has made 5 consecutive movies since her debut, all of them have exploded at the box office, and since "Guillotte Valley", he has won the annual box office champion in North America for two consecutive years, and he is very hopeful to win the third consecutive year - many people in Hollywood regard him as a sign of success, and they pay more attention to him.

After all, it's easier to succeed when you work with successful people!

Although Charlotte is very good at hiding his whereabouts because he knows spells, entertainment reporters can't always find him.

But he and Charlize filmed "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" together, but they couldn't hide it after all.

"Is Charlotte Booth overinflated, going to make a movie like this?"

In the Beverly Hills mansion, Tom Cruise and his wife, Nicole Kidman, review the latest news.

"You know, what he has always been good at are those horror and supernatural commercial movies, but now he is running to make some romance films, and he also directs and acts himself......"

"It's not surprising that a good director always wants to break through himself!"

Nicole Kidman gave her husband a strange look.

She doesn't know why Tom is vaguely hostile to Charlotte Booth, an emerging big-name director, but she does feel that Charlotte's choice is actually very understandable.

"Didn't Pat say before that the big director likes her Charlize Theron very much! This is probably because he has made too many commercial blockbusters, and he wants to change his taste, and by the way, he will help his muse to hit the Oscars!"

"It's possible!"

Tom Cruise nodded, then pouted again,

"But he also thought that the Oscars were too simple, how could those old men from the Academy of Film Science and Arts be easily conquered by a romantic comedy made by a commercial film director?"

"That's just as well. ”

Nicole Kidman nodded,

"However, his film, not only directed and acted by himself, but also pulled Charlize Theron, at first glance, it is the nature of playing tickets - even if this kind of movie fails, it will not affect his status, right?"

"It's not affordable. ”

Tom Cruise frowned,

"What will really affect his status is the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that is still in the pipeline - if that film fails, he will return to the status of a general commercial film director. ”

"Really?"

A trace of doubt rose in Nicole Kidman's heart.

It's not that she doubts her husband's words, but she doesn't understand his inexplicable hostility—

Charlotte Booth shouldn't have anything to do with them, right?

Nicole and Tom Cruise have been married for seven years.

Although she was now experiencing a seven-year itch, she asked herself if she knew the man in front of her well - Nicole really couldn't think of a reason why the other party hated Charlotte Booth.

"It can't be jealousy, right?"

Nicole couldn't imagine her superstar husband being jealous of someone else — well, it was possible.

But that's not a big deal after all!

In fact, as far as Nicole knows, Tom has always admired big-name directors.

- He will take on the movie "Eyes Wide Open" with himself, mainly because it is a film directed by Kubrick, who has the title of "God of Cinema".

- According to this line of thinking, even if Tom doesn't like Charlotte Booth, he probably won't have malicious intentions towards the other party!

Nicole Kidman really couldn't understand her husband.

In contrast, Riven Phoenix understands her husband's mind better than Nicole Kidman.

It's not because of a consensus among men, it's purely because he's been hiding in the shadows to observe the couple for days.

Since discovering that Tom Cruise can see the invisible Alexis at this year's Oscars, Charlotte has sent Raven to the superstar's side.

"You're a Headless Horseman, and you're good at stealth. Even if the other party can see the ghost, but you are hiding underground, if he is not good at spells, he should not be able to see you. ”

Charlotte explained to Rivan why he had been sent, and Rivan confirmed Charlotte's opinion after a long period of observation.

In fact, even if Rivan didn't hide it, Tom Cruise wouldn't be able to see him.

- Because Ruifan once deliberately took off his head and floated past the other party's eyes, but the other party did not react.

If a perverted exorcist like Charlotte could do that, Rivan believes. But even if Tom Cruise is a superstar, he should be no different from ordinary people when facing ghosts......

- This can only show that the everyday Tom Cruise can't see ghosts.

"Could it be that Charlotte made a mistake?"

Rivan shook his head, putting the conjecture behind him—

Not to mention that the treacherous and cunning director is not easy to mistake, but according to Rivan's observation during this time, Tom Cruise is indeed very suspicious.

- There is a strange power attached to his body, similar to the original sin evil in Harvey Weinstein's original body, but it is not quite the same.

What's more, the sudden hostility he has recently developed towards Charlotte is also strange.

"It seems that this "TopGun" is not a complete ordinary person!"

Ruifan thought silently in his heart......
