Chatty Hollywood

"The promotional methods used by the crew of "The Sixth Sense" are so despicable!"

Until he stepped into the screening room to watch the premiere of "The Sixth Sense", Kenneth Turan was still thinking about this idea.

It’s not that the movie “The Sixth Sense” aroused any ill feelings in him, but simply that from the perspective of a film critic, he felt uncomfortable being restricted from speaking.

Who made Charlotte take the big step of charity before the release of "The Sixth Sense"?

If the movie is good, it doesn't matter. It is the normal job of a film critic to praise a good movie.

It doesn't really matter if the filming is terrible. After all, it is the quality of the film that determines the reputation of the film. If it's a bad movie, the name of charity won't stop the big and small trolls all over the United States, no, it's the film critics.

What I fear most is whether the quality of the movie is good or bad. This industry actually has the most situations. Under normal circumstances, this is when film critics can do their best.

After all, both good and bad are justified!

However, now, because of its charity reputation, film critics may have to sing praises for "The Sixth Sense".

Who wants to be known as someone who doesn’t support charity?

In Kenneth's opinion, this already means a bit of moral kidnapping. Although he has always had a good impression of Charlotte Booth's movies, this incident still made him feel a little awkward.

However, Kenneth Turan didn’t know that this was actually just the beginning——

In the 21st century, various movies using the name of political correctness have emerged in Hollywood, and similar situations have even appeared in commercial movies adapted from comic books.

The most typical example is Marvel's "Black Panther". Although the quality of this movie is not bad, it is not qualified to make the United States sing its praises together.

There is no way, American film critics are too harsh. Even "Titanic" back then was criticized by countless trolls.

When "Star Wars" was released, George Lucas was so criticized that he almost couldn't take care of himself.

If "The Force" hadn't been so great, there might have been no George Lucas in Hollywood now...

But after "Black Panther" gave itself the title of "a black superhero movie", it easily completed this epic task.

There is no other way. With the invincible shield of "racial equality", who among ordinary people would dare to criticize this movie?

Anyone who complains will immediately be called a "racist"!

As a result, "Black Panther", which was only of good quality, was hailed as a masterpiece in North America.

It was not until after going overseas and arriving in some areas where racial issues were not so serious that critical voices gradually emerged...

Of course, even Charlotte would not know about the example of "Black Panther". After all, he had already traveled through time when this movie was released.

For Charlotte, it just happened to be the right time for him to use the name of charity to promote "The Sixth Sense."

As for the issue of arousing resentment from some sensitive film critics such as Kenneth Turan, he really did not consider it.

However, even if he considered it, he probably wouldn't care.

As a commercial film director, what Charlotte cares more about is always the feelings of ordinary movie audiences.

After all, they will contribute movie tickets to Charlotte's movie, and later buy various peripherals because of their love...

Like Andrew Sparks.

Emily's math teacher did not accompany her students to watch the movie this time. Instead, he was accompanied by a policewoman.

"I didn't expect that I would fall in love with women in uniform just like Emily's unreliable father."

Andrew complained to himself in his mind.

"Diana, do you think this movie will be good?"

Taking advantage of the gap before the screening, Andrew asked his female companion.

"It should be good!"

Diana nodded.

She and Andrew met after a previous premiere of "Sleepy Hollow."

Because Kate, who accompanied Diana to the premiere, was suddenly summoned away by an emergency call from her boss, Diana had to leave alone. As a result, I bumped into Andrew Sparks at the entrance of the cinema, who couldn't make it to the premiere and could only watch the second show.

At that time, Andrew was holding a big bucket of popcorn and Coke. When Diana bumped into him, he was completely wiped out.

Because of this mistake, Diana had no choice but to compensate the other party for the loss, and then went to watch a movie with the other party in a daze. When the other party invited her to have a cup of coffee, she did not refuse...

"Andrew is a good man, there's nothing wrong with trying to develop a relationship with him, right?"

Unlike her best friend Kate, Diana had no intention of marrying into work. Besides, Kate talks about "marrying for a job", but that doesn't mean she has a suitor coming from the East Coast...

Anyway, Diana, who was stimulated by her friend, felt that it was time for her to develop a romantic relationship.

Therefore, this time Andrew invited her to watch the premiere of "The Sixth Sense", and she did not refuse.

Of course, her friend Kate is still busy investigating the case and cannot accompany her, which is also an important reason.

"Why is Kate still holding on to the director Charlotte Booth? She even went out of her way to investigate several orphanages where the other party was showing free movies..."

Diana felt that her friend was too persistent, but there was nothing she could do about it.

**********

Also helpless, there is Emily.

What left her helpless was her father——

Although this strange man was the one who took Emily to watch horror movie tapes when she was young, he never took her to the cinema to watch movies.

Emily didn't know why, but after so many years, the little girl had become accustomed to it.

However, today, Emily's father didn't know what he had eaten wrong and insisted on taking his daughter to a movie.

——The one he chose was "The Sixth Sense".

Emily really wanted to see this movie too.

After three films including "The Turn", "Happy Death Day" and "Sleepy Hollow", this little girl who likes to watch directors choose movies to watch has already added Charlotte Booth to her favorite list. The ranks of directors.

Therefore, she originally planned to watch "The Sixth Sense" - but not with her father.

Emily originally made an appointment with Sheldon and the four of them to watch Charlotte Booth's new movie together, but when she saw her father excitedly holding two movie tickets, the little girl really couldn't say anything. What words of rejection.

"I wish I had said no earlier!"

Addison Yang muttered depressedly.

As a behind-the-scenes worker of the movie, he should have nothing to do when the movie is released.

However, after hearing Charlotte's weird story, he completely fell into the director's trap.

Just like now, he was sent to Malcolm Sanitarium to screen "The Sixth Sense" for the patients here.

— to coincide with the premiere.

In fact, many behind-the-scenes personnel affiliated with Specter's studio have received similar tasks.

In fact, they are not responsible for normal movie screenings. They were sent to more than a dozen orphanages, nursing homes, and mental hospitals selected throughout the Los Angeles area just to represent the attitude of the "Sixth Sense" crew.

"But is it really appropriate to screen a horror movie like "The Sixth Sense" in an orphanage?"

While Addison Young was muttering, the screening of "The Sixth Sense" began——

PS1: "Daddy's Girl" is an American movie released in 2007. It is a movie basically starring black people, just like "Black Panther".
