Chatty Hollywood

Discovering that the original director of Malcolm Sanitarium died in the sanatorium certainly set off alarm bells in Charlotte's mind.

He increasingly suspected that the ghost of Dr. Malcolm, who was good at lobotomy, was at work here.

"However, ghosts are not something that anyone can change if they want to. Not only does it require a lot of chance, but it also requires enough obsession. What obsession does Dr. Malcolm have?"

Charlotte thought,

"Furthermore, there is a "dragon" hidden underground in the Malcolm Nursing Home. Under normal circumstances, even if a ghost is born, it will either be driven away quickly or controlled by the "dragon". How could it be..."

"I always feel like something is wrong!"

This was the only conclusion Charlotte came to.

However, whether it is right or wrong, it will not affect the filming of "The Sixth Sense".

After intense preliminary preparations, the filming of Charlotte’s new movie has begun——

**********

This is the first time Bruce Willis has worked with a director like Charlotte Booth.

To be honest, it was really refreshing for him.

Most of the directors he worked with before, regardless of their directing level, liked to talk to the actors more or less.

And this is something Charlotte Booth rarely does.

Most of the time, he just sat behind the monitor and kept saying "Cut," "Good," and "Do it again."

But Bruce Willis will not look down on the other party because of this.

Because this crew is so well prepared in terms of details——

From the decoration of the home of Dr. Malcolm, whom he plays, to the light and shadow effects in the church where he and the little boy Cole first met, everything was designed very carefully.

Just by being in it, Bruce Willis felt an invisible pressure.

This pressure makes him nervous, makes him anxious, makes him scared, and makes him more like Dr. Malcolm in the script.

As an action star with average acting skills, although Bruce Willis can also give wonderful performances,

But rarely can I express myself freely when shooting.

Most of his wonderful literary plays were honed through NG over and over again.

But this time, he rarely entered a state of explosive acting. Many shots that required repeated shots in the past were passed in one go this time.

This fiery state made him feel a little incredible.

He felt that the filming scene seemed to be full of various guidelines, guiding him into the scene all the time——

Things like the little boy Cole's toy soldiers, the case notes he watched, etc. all seemed to remind him that he was Malcolm, a psychiatrist who was shot by his own patient a year ago.

——This should be set by the director in advance, right?

Even the location where they filmed was called Malcolm Sanitarium.

The meticulous arrangement guides the actors into the play subtly. Charlotte Booth's guidance method is better than most directors.

——At least, that’s what Bruce Willis feels now.

The only thing that made him a little unhappy was that the director asked the entire crew to call him "Dr. Malcolm" both on and off screen.

——Start from when he enters the crew and end when he leaves the crew.

Bruce Willis knew that this was to help him get into the role, but he was not Daniel Day-Lewis, and he really couldn't enjoy this method of forcing others to play indiscriminately.

But Bruce Willis couldn't object.

Because he was wrong first——

After taking on "The Sixth Sense", another film he had previously taken on suddenly adjusted the shooting plan, causing the schedule to be advanced. As a result, the shooting time of "The Sixth Sense" was squeezed together.

Although there is no schedule conflict, as the leading actor, Bruce Willis' time is very tight.

He discussed with Charlotte, hoping to give priority to filming scenes related to him, and the director agreed.

The condition was that while he was on the set, everyone would call him "Dr. Malcolm" and not even allow him to completely remove his makeup, keeping him in a state of immersion.

This is helpful for shooting.

Bruce Willis agreed.

As a result, he has the current situation that makes him depressed.

Of course, it's actually not correct to say that he doesn't like this state at all. To a certain extent, he likes this state of being deeply involved in the play.

However, due to issues with his acting skills and methods, he had rarely entered this state before.

This made him a little panicked.

"Don't worry, Dr. Malcolm!"

Perhaps sensing his fear, the director rarely raised his head from the monitor during filming and comforted him,

"You are a person who helps others overcome their fears! Don't be intimidated by your own fears!"

——Well, this is not a comfort at all, it is completely forcing him into the drama.

Bruce Willis, who often performs violent action scenes, felt that Charlotte Booth was like using a pair of strong hands to force him into a bathtub full of water named "Malcolm".

The problem is, not only can he not resist, he also has to cooperate with the other party's actions——

Yes, I am the one who helps others overcome their fears. How can I be afraid myself?

At the very least, Vincent’s situation must not be allowed to happen again!

"Dr. Malcolm" shook his head, mustered up his courage, and walked into the church.

——This is the place where he and the patient he is now treating, the little boy Cole, met for the first time.

Cole was not easy to get in touch with. When faced with the doctor's self-introduction, he reacted very coldly, and even said a Latin word to his toy soldier that the doctor did not understand.

This made "Dr. Malcolm" a little helpless, but before he left, the boy asked him again:

"I'll see you again, right?"

——This sentence gave the doctor hope for his work.

"Both of them performed very well!"

Standing next to the monitor, Lao Qiang whispered to Charlotte who said nothing.

As an assistant director, he never thought that the initial filming of "The Sixth Sense" would go so smoothly——

Just the fact that Bruce Willis can get into the role smoothly is already very good.

And the bigger surprise is that Sam Fehr does play the little boy Cole.

"Children and animals can ruin a drama if they don't behave well, but if they behave well, they can make a drama successful."

He couldn't help but think of this famous saying that is widely circulated in Hollywood.

——Fortunately, we are now the one being accomplished.

Lao Qiang felt that Sam Fell's performance was very expressive.

That feeling of being shrouded in invisible fear, many adult actors don't perform well, and they will overexert themselves if they don't master it well.

But Sam Fehr did it with ease.

It was almost as if he had lived in such an environment.

Lao Qiang felt that Charlotte really chose a very suitable young actor this time.
