Chatty Hollywood

"If this film succeeds, Charlotte Booth will be promoted to an A-list director with editing rights."

Agent Nicholas analyzes for Bruce Willis,

"And if you star in this movie, you will also have a good relationship with him."

——Nicholas understands what it means to have a good relationship with a great director, even if he doesn’t talk about Bruce.

The reason why he was hesitant was mainly because of another aspect——

"What if the movie failed?"

"It would have been a glorious failure, and Charlotte Booth would have had to do it all over again. And you—"

Nicholas spread his hands,

"It is estimated that in a few years, no director will ask you to make movies other than action movies."

"yes!"

Bruce Willis sighed.

Although he is portrayed as a tough guy in the movie, this does not mean that he has no brains in life.

In fact, he has been wanting to transform for a long time after becoming famous for his action movies. In other words, as an actor, he instinctively wants to prove his acting skills.

This was the reason why I participated in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp" last year, and it is also the reason why I participated in "12 Monkeys" this year.

However, although "Pulp" was successful and "12 Monkeys" was also well done, the acting requirements in both films were rather strange, and Bruce failed to prove his feelings at all.

Moreover, "Pulp" has an alternative style, and its success will only be attributed to Quentin and has little to do with Bruce.

And "12 Monkeys"...

"It would be great if '12 Monkeys' could be successful at the box office."

Bruce Willis sighed.

——That way he wouldn’t have to make such a difficult decision now.

"It's hard to say!"

Agent Nicholas is not very optimistic about the box office prospects of "12 Monkeys".

"After several internal test screenings, the feedback received was very polarized - critics generally liked the film, but many viewers felt that they did not understand it..."

"I don't understand..."

Bruce Willis's brows were wrinkled, which made his face look even more bitter.

Of course he knows that the so-called "can't quite understand" can also be interpreted as "this is all a bunch of stuff" if it's a bit more vicious.

When many viewers say they "don't quite understand" a movie, its box office is in great danger.

Although based on Bruce Willis's own feelings about the finished film, "12 Monkeys" is likely to become a classic in science fiction movies.

But there is a big difference between being a science fiction classic and becoming "ET" or "Blade Runner".

Bruce Willis increasingly felt that he might have made a movie that was neither a hit nor a hit.

This makes him more cautious about his next film, especially his next non-action film.

His agent Nicholas also noticed his hesitation.

"Otherwise, we wait until the box office results of "12 Monkeys" come out?"

"Then it's too late!"

Having been in Hollywood for more than ten years, Bruce Willis naturally knows how popular a new movie from a director who just won the annual box office championship in North America will be.

Especially, what Charlotte Booth sent him now was an invitation to be the leading actor.

As long as he hesitates for a few more days, other actors with similar status to him will immediately get the news.

By that time, the competition he faces will be at least several times more intense than it is now.

Moreover, as director and producer, Charlotte Booth may also change her mind because of his delay in responding...

"Speaking of which, why did Charlotte Booth give me the audition invitation first?"

Bruce Willis suddenly remembered this question.

"According to the person who sent me the invitation, when Charlotte Booth wrote the movie script called "The Sixth Sense," it was based on you from the beginning—"

"You believe this too, Nicholas?"

Bruce Willis chuckled,

"Which movie has been made without the director and screenwriter saying that they designed the story based on the image of the protagonist from the beginning? In fact!? As an agent, you don't know the inside story!?"

"Of course I know."

Nicholas said in a deep voice,

"But, I also know that saying such things proves that they are sincere."

"this……"

Bruce Willis was stunned.

What Nicholas said was indeed true.

Directors or screenwriters say that the script was written based on the image of the lead actor from the beginning. Although most of them are lies, they do not lie without reason.

If it is before or after the movie is released, it is naturally to create an image of sympathy among the crew members to increase the box office;

And if it’s the preparatory stage, what about when actors are invited?

That means they really want this actor to star.

Bruce Willis's brows, which had been frowning for a long time, suddenly relaxed.

"Since they are so sincere, I'd better study the script first. So far, it seems that this movie does have many successful elements."

"Yes."

Agent Nicholas nodded.

And in his heart, Mr. Agent was already cheering.

——He has been Bruce Willis's manager for many years, and it is natural to see that this man who always has a grimace when he is not smiling has actually moved his mind.

As an agent, Nicholas actually wanted Bruce Willis to take over "The Sixth Sense".

Based on his experience in Hollywood, it can be said that this movie is basically made up of successful elements——

A talented, commercial film director who has proven himself many times and is on the rise;

With the residual power of a movie and a large amount of funds gathered;

A complete and mature behind-the-scenes production team;

And an absolutely riveting script.

Nicholas, who had read the synopsis of the script in advance, felt that if Bruce Willis missed this movie, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

In fact, he still had good news that he didn’t have time to tell his customers——

Famous producers, Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy, are also interested in this project, and their production company is seeking to invest in "The Sixth Sense".

Moreover, they also roped in Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment.

What does this mean?

This shows that many big-name producers with vicious eyes are optimistic about Charlotte Booth's "The Sixth Sense"!

Faced with an invitation to film like this, why are you still hesitating?

Anyway, Nicholas made up his mind that if Bruce Willis still couldn't make up his mind after reading the script, he would spit out all the news in one breath and completely stun his client.

With such a good opportunity, why should you hesitate?

However, looking at Bruce's increasingly relaxed brow, the agent felt that it seemed unnecessary to say anything about what he was going to prepare later...
