Chapter 363: Hallucination
Warner's side reacted quickly -
The next morning, Barry Mendel, Warner's man in charge of "The Sixth Sense," arrived to meet Charlotte.
Congratulations is one thing, but more importantly, it is to determine the strategy for winning the prize.
After all, that's 8 Oscar nominations!
Moreover, they are all relatively important awards.
If you don't do public relations and rush for the award, I really feel a little sorry for myself.
Of course, even if you want to win the award, some awards are helpless -
Among them, the 3 nominations for acting are all of this genre.
For a pure action star like Bruce Willis, being able to win Ottie is the biggest victory, and the actor throne is simply a luxury.
Unless Bruce Willis wants to spend his own money to fight, the crew won't do much for his slim hope.
As for Toni Colette Colette's best supporting actress, she is also a soy sauce role.
You must know that in the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actress at this Oscar, there are both old-timers like Lauren Bacall and powerful middle-aged people like Juliette Binoche.
Anyway, in Charlotte's opinion, Toni Colette, who has very little seniority, really has no chance of winning.
But Sam Phil's Best Supporting Actor is a bit of a possibility.
After all, although Oscar doesn't want to have convulsions as often as the Grammys, it's not impossible to have occasional upsets.
The stubborn old men at the Academy of Film Science and Arts sometimes want to make big news.
- A Best Supporting Actor winner who is not yet 12 years old seems to be a good choice.
In particular, Sam Phil's performance in "The Sixth Sense" can indeed be said to be extraordinary, and it is completely the finishing touch.
If Warner had done a good job, it might have been possible.
Sam Phil also has a downside, though.
That is, in 1994, Anna Paquin's Best Supporting Actress can already be said to be an underage miracle.
When he won the Oscar for "Piano Don't Love", he was also under the age of 12.
Now, just three years later, the question is whether the Oscar jury wants to make another big news like this......
However, after Charlotte discussed with Barry Mendel, she still chose the award of Best Supporting Actor as one of the key targets.
It's up to people!
As for the two technical awards, Best Editing and Best Cinematography, Charlotte didn't have much in mind.
On the one hand, the Oscars do not have as much public relations as the acting awards in the selection of technical awards.
On the other hand, it is also because of the technical awards, which are not of great significance to the promotion of the film -
There is a movie that will say that it is a movie that "won the Oscar for Best Actor", but the movie has never said that it is a movie that "won the Oscar for Best Editing".
Technical awards, in addition to the honor of being a behind-the-scenes person, are more through numbers when promoting-
Like "Eight Oscar-nominated films", or "Five Oscar-nominated films" and so on.
Unless otherwise specified, most of these nominations or awards are technical awards.
Although Hollywood's film industry is developed, the behind-the-scenes workers still receive far less attention than the actors.
Of course, the crew of "The Sixth Sense" will also give Addison Young and Andrew Mondshane some support, but it depends on their own luck to win the award.
After all, there is little point in focusing on key technical awards.
What's more, Addison Young has already won the best photography once, and it is not easy to win it for a second time......
For Charlotte herself and the crew of "The Sixth Sense", the most important thing is the last 3 awards.
Not to mention the best film, this can be said to be the brightest jewel in the crown of the Oscars every year, and there is no one who does not want it.
And Best Director and Best Original Screenplay are both nominated by Charlotte herself.
Even if Charlotte is not in a hurry when it comes to honors, borrowing the Oscar trophy to draw the magic from the movie is something he has always wanted to do.
For Charlotte, the more the Oscars are, the better.
Barry Mendel is also very supportive of Charlotte in this regard.
Not to mention the best director, in terms of the best original screenplay, Warner feels that Charlotte does have an advantage.
In this case, why not give this promising young director a certain amount of support, so that everyone can cooperate in the future?
Coupled with what Paramount promised before, Charlotte really feels that she has a lot of hope at the Oscars this time......
However, no matter how much Charlotte has plans at the Oscars, it will be in March and April next year.
Now, his focus is still on the filming of "Hell Detective".
Because of the addition of Jodie Foster, the heroine's acting skills basically don't need to be worried.
- After all, Miss Actress has won two Oscars, and her acting skills are still very good. In particular, Angela's character, slender and sensitive, strong and brave, is exactly the type of character she is best at.
And although the actor Keanu Reeves has always been rated by film critics as having no acting skills, perhaps it was this collaboration with Depp that brought back memories of the time when several people were messing around, and he did perform Konstantin's depraved and cynical temperament.
Now, under Charlotte's effective scheduling, the crew of "Detective Hell" has finished filming most of the ordinary scenes and has begun to enter the special effects scene part-
"Fire, I was burned by fire!"
Balthazar, who had been knocked down by Konstantin with a holy shotgun, laughed and seemed completely unaffected.
At this time, Billman, played by Johnny Depp, has been killed by the demon Balthazar.
And Konstantin, with the help of Angela, finally found out about Balthazar.
Enraged by the murder of his friend, the exorcist rushed to Balthazar's human residence with weapons and fought directly with Balthazar......
Keanu Reeves thought it was strange at this point.
The actor who played the demon Balthazar was not famous at all, but the other party's acting skills were very good.
And with the cooperation of the other party, Keanu felt that he played very well.
Even, when he looked at the other party's face, he felt like the other party's face had really become a half-human and half-demon for a while.
Keanu wasn't alarmed by this.
Because he has experienced this feeling many times in the crew of "Detective Hell".
As it turned out, it was all his hallucination.
The hallucinations caused by his excessive involvement in the play.
- That's what Mr. Director explained to him anyway.
Keanu agrees with this explanation, and even, he is a little happy about it-
"I'm in such good shape this time, those film critics can't say that I don't have acting skills, right?"
