Chatty Hollywood

Charlotte never told Charlize the true identity of the unknown ghost.

The girl was indeed curious, but seeing that Charlotte was deliberately not saying anything, she was smart enough not to ask.

After learning spells from Charlotte, she gradually understood——

Sometimes, it wasn't that Charlotte didn't want to tell her specific details.

But according to the rules of magic, things may change once they are spoken out.

Especially, in front of ghosts and monsters, the human brain is not that confidential.

People or ghosts who are good at magic can steal various secrets from dreams at any time, just like Charlotte did before.

Therefore, the best way to keep a secret is not to remain silent, but not to know at all.

That way, not even ghosts can do anything about it.

**********

On the night of the Oscars, Charlize and Charlotte just spent a cozy night in a small villa in Beverly Hills.

——In the same bed.

And Charlize also woke up in the arms of a man for the first time in the morning.

Feeling the warmth of Charlotte's arms, the girl suddenly felt that this feeling was not bad.

Thinking about what happened next, the girl became a little scared again.

***********

Charlotte didn't know her girlfriend's inner struggle.

In other words, he already knew that he had a troublesome girlfriend, but there was nothing he could do except wait patiently and keep trying.

——Who makes girls have such heavy childhood shadows and always feel afraid of getting too close to others?

To be honest, after Oscar, it has been great to be able to hold her and sleep with her from time to time when she is in a better condition.

Charlotte felt that as long as she was given time, Charlize would eventually adapt.

Now, his main job is still post-production and pre-publicity.

After several negotiations, he and Warner Bros., which is responsible for distribution, set the release date on May 31, a few days after Memorial Day.

Then, the question of how to break out emerged. after all--

May 10, Warner's;

May 22, Paramount;

July 3, Fox;

According to Charlotte's memory, these three summer blockbusters were all difficult to deal with.

Among them, as the masterpiece of disaster movie king Roland Emmerich, it was extremely lethal in this era when special effects technology was not yet popular.

In particular, because of the name, the other party will definitely get a bonus for the Independence Day holiday...

However, the schedule is almost a full month later, so it should not have a direct impact.

Similar situations include——

This is, like, a disaster movie.

It should be said that in an era when film special effects technology was just beginning to emerge, the disaster film genre was indeed flourishing.

Many blockbusters that have exploded at the box office are disaster films, such as, and——

.

It was not until the further development of special effects technology, especially special effects action technology, that superheroes began to collectively log on to the big screen that the dominant position of disaster movies in commercial films was completely replaced.

And now, it is still an era when disaster movies are in the ascendant.

Therefore, it still has a box office advantage.

Although it has a certain time gap with the release schedule of "The Movie", the problem is that this movie is also released by Warner Bros.

Charlotte was concerned that promotional efforts on Warner Bros.'s part were being misallocated, resulting in a lack of publicity support for the film, which was expected to open three weeks later...

certainly,

The biggest trouble is still.

Charlotte, who comes from the future, naturally knows this classic action movie series.

This series has a strong box-office harvesting ability, and its schedule is only one week away. It is definitely the biggest opponent.

Especially, this movie stars Tom Cruise.

Even in 2017, when he is over 50 years old, has fallen out with CAA, and has experienced various suppressions from Paramount, Tom Cruise still has a lot of popularity.

Now in 1996, it is the time when his appearance and popularity are at the peak of his powers.

At this time, the name Tom Cruise alone was worth 30 million at the box office, as evidenced by the film released in 1994.

Although Charlotte is very confident in the quality of the film, facing Tom Cruise at his peak and the film, which is also considered a classic series, he cannot say that he can win.

"It would be great if the schedules of the two could be staggered!"

Charlotte thought to herself.

Of course, he also knew it was impossible——

Although Paramount has reached an agreement with him and will not specifically snipe the film when it is released, this is two different things from asking them to adjust their key summer films.

As for adjusting the schedule to postpone the release?

Not to mention that this is simply a sign of weakness, nor that it is not easy to adjust the schedule. Just when to postpone it is a question——

Don’t forget, we still have to wait for July, it can’t be postponed to August or September, right?

As a result, the cost of waiting for the movie will increase significantly.

"It seems we can only fight hand to hand!"

Charlotte made a judgment in her mind,

"Then, let alone after the release, during the promotion period, the popularity must at least remain evenly matched!"

Charlotte began to study publicity plans...

*******

Time passed like this day by day, and the later stage was gradually completed. But before the movie was released, Charlotte received another surprise——

Nominations for the 1996 Saturn Awards have been announced.

Because it is for movies released in 1995, the film that was the annual box office champion in North America in 1995 is naturally on the list——

"Nominations for Best Horror Movie, Nominations for Best Actor, Nominations for Best Actress, Nominations for Best Director - wow, there's a lot to gain from the Saturn Awards this year!"

In front of Charlotte, white-haired Jay Leno read out the nomination list for the Saturn Awards seriously.

“Charlotte, I remember after the Saturn Awards last year, you said “I’ll beback!” "Bar?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"I did say this last year, so I'm back now, and I also brought back the dress -"

As he spoke, he pointed with his hand, and a picture of Jay Leno wearing an eighteenth-century lady's dress immediately appeared on the big screen in the live broadcast room.

There was a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room.

——That's right, Charlotte is here again.
