Although during the filming of a movie, most of the time, the director's job is more important than the actor.

However, when it comes to the promotion of the movie, it is quite the opposite.

As a director who works behind the scenes, under normal circumstances, he is far less than the appeal of stars to the audience.

Even in the 21st century, there are directors with personal brands such as Christopher Nolan, but on the whole, the box office appeal of directors is still not strong.

Charlotte never imagined that she could have the appeal of a star.

So, when he heard Barry Mendel's words, he was indeed stunned.

"And a lot of the audience is here for me!?"

"yes!"

Even Barry Mendel had a wonderful expression,

"I couldn't believe it before, but after a detailed audience survey, we still found out the reason—"

Speaking of which, Barry Mendel paused,

"At the end of the day, it's because of the few movies you've shot before, and the overall story style is obvious - a lot of viewers think you like to use reversals, which makes them feel like a surprise. ”

"And then you became a fan of mine?"

Charlotte still couldn't believe it.

"That should be the main factor!"

Barry Mendel smiled,

"Still, I think you have a beautiful girlfriend who helps a lot with that!"

"Sally!?"

"That's right!"

Barry Mendel explains,

"According to the survey, a lot of viewers do like your films, but they will become your fans, and there is also the opportunity to see that you always accompany Charlize to various ceremonies. ”

"So I just followed Sally, did I have a familiar face?"

"Almost!"

Barry Mendel smirked,

"To be precise, it's the audience who sees a good-looking mysterious man who always accompanies the increasingly popular Charlize Theron to various events, and they begin to wonder who this happy bastard is, and then they find out——"

"Ahh!?h

Barry Mendel learned from the audience's tone,

"In short, for various reasons, after the release of "The Sixth Sense", you not only have the status of a great director, but also the box office appeal of a super-first-class director, congratulations!"

"Thanks!"

Charlotte smiled, but in her heart she pondered,

"Maybe I can learn from Nolan in the future, and in the opening introduction of the movie, I can say, "This is a Charlotte movie"?"

Of course, the very high opening of "Charlotte's movie" is still a matter for the future.

At present, the most important thing for him is the release of "The Sixth Sense".

With a total box office of $60 million in the first week, in the era of 1996, it was not a problem to win the weekly box office championship.

And the box office champion squeezed out by "The Sixth Sense" is Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible".

"I didn't expect such a horror movie that wasn't scary to squeeze me down!"

In his mansion in Beverly Hills, Tom Cruise is lamenting to his wife Nicole Kidman and agent Pat Kingsley.

"Tom, I told you a long time ago that Charlotte Booth has the potential to become a great director. ”

Pat Kingsley shrugged, a little helpless at the aftermath of her chief client.

Because she is also Charlize's agent, Pat Kingsley knows Charlotte as Charlize's boyfriend better.

In fact, during the preparation of "The Sixth Sense", she considered whether to help Tom Cruise take the role of Dr. Malcolm.

Although Charlotte once claimed that he was a character in the image of Bruce Willis. But if there can be Tom Cruise, who wants Bruce Willis?

Pat Kingsley felt that at least in terms of appearance, her chief customer was Bruce Willis with a bitter gourd face.

What's more, since "Top Gun", Tom's popularity and box office appeal have not declined.

And his acting skills are also better than Bruce Willis......

Anyway, in the face of Bruce Willis, the agent lady felt that her chief client was a sure win.

However, Tom Cruise himself has shown little interest in the role of Dr. Malcolm.

As a result, Pat Kingsley could only watch an opportunity to work with Charlotte run away.

"Tom, you should have thought about winning this movie!"

Now, seeing the amazing box office results of "The Sixth Sense", the agent lady can't help but feel a little resentful of her wayward chief client.

But Tom Cruise didn't care.

"The movie "Mr. Sweetheart" is not bad!"

He smiled and waved his hand,

"And, Pat, you should know, I've never been very fond of horror movies. ”

“...... Alright!"

Since her customers didn't regret it, Pat Kingsley didn't talk anymore.

However, looking at the box office situation in the new week, a trace of regret still rises in the heart of the agent woman-

Although the box office exploded in the first week, it was quite a bit of a special effects blockbuster, but the follow-up box office trend of "The Sixth Sense" was far more stable than that of special effects blockbusters.

Of course, after entering the workday, the box office of any movie will drop. However, compared with commercial blockbusters such as "Mission Impossible" and "Tornado", which were also released in May, the box office decline of "The Sixth Sense" was much smaller.

Even, on Wednesday, the box office of "The Sixth Sense" rebounded, once again breaking the $10 million mark in a single day.

"By the time the second weekend arrives, the movie might be worth hundreds of millions at the box office, right?"

Pat Kingsley thought to herself,

"Perhaps, I should devote more resources to Charlize Theron's side. After all, ......."

No matter what Pat Kingsley, a shrewd female agent, thinks, the second-week box office of "The Sixth Sense" did indeed break through the $100 million mark quickly as she expected.

And by the second weekend, it was another two-day harvest of $40 million.

- Less than two weeks after its release, the total box office reached $140 million!!

This box office result is quite terrifying even in the summer season where blockbusters are gathered and the box office is generally high.

It can be said that Charlotte's "The Sixth Sense", after "Guillotine Valley", has once again become a strong contender for the annual box office championship in North America.

Moreover, compared with "Guillotine Valley" or other commercial blockbusters, the reputation of "The Sixth Sense" can be said to be very different.

At least, Roger Albert's two thumbs up evaluation is not something that can be obtained by any movie.

Film critics generally liked this film with sincere feelings and warmth in horror.

Most ordinary viewers prefer the exquisite plot design of "The Sixth Sense", as well as the ending with a strong reversal, careful but reasonable ending.

In fact, "I see dead people!" has become the mantra of many children who have seen the movie.

This is a bit of a headache for parents of children.

However, now that they have just been baptized by the feelings of Cole's mother and son in "The Sixth Sense", most parents will not directly despise their bear children.

They have to learn from Cole's mom in the movie and be kind to the bear child.

This feeling of depression brought to parents is probably the only negative effect brought about by the popularity of "The Sixth Sense"!

In this case, the media naturally interviewed the crew of "The Sixth Sense", and the main actors such as Bruce Willis and Sam Phil naturally did not let go.

However, to the dismay of the reporters, the main director, Charlotte Booth, they never found.

Where did Charlotte go?
