Chatty Hollywood

However, "The Sixth Sense" lost the next best cinematography award to "The English Patient."

"It doesn't matter. Those old guys at the Academy of Science and Arts really hate letting someone win the award again."

Charlotte comforted Addison Young in a low voice.

The latter nodded with a professional smile on his face.

"I know."

Indeed, as Charlotte said, the current Oscar judges really hate re-election.

The latest winner, Tom Hanks, who won the Best Actor Award for the second time for "Forrest Gump", would have had no hope of success if it weren't for "Forrest Gump" being too tough.

——In terms of individual Oscar awards, winning once and winning twice have completely different meanings.

Anyone who has won two awards can be called a master. What's more, it's re-election?

So Addison Young's failure is normal.

Fortunately, not long after, the crew of "The Sixth Sense", or Charlotte herself, achieved another success——

"Best Original Screenplay Winner, Charlotte Booth, The Sixth Sense!"

The person who stood on the stage to announce the news was Jodie Foster, who was wearing a silver-gray skirt and a bright silver gown.

And when the actress's mouth uttered Charlotte's name, Charlotte only felt Charlize's hand tightening on hers.

——I’ve already said she’s a lesbian!

Charlotte smiled bitterly in her heart, but did not explain any more.

He just hugged the people nearby, then walked up to the stage and took the ugly-looking Mr. Oscar from Jodie Foster's hand——

"Before the filming of "The Sixth Sense," I told many people that it was actually a love story, but unfortunately no one believed it."

Having said this, Charlotte raised the statuette in her hand.

"But now it seems that everyone believes it - I feel your love!"

"Hahaha……"

Many people at the scene laughed, even Jodie Foster standing aside had a slight smile on her face.

She also jokingly gave Charlotte a hug as a sign of "love."

This left Charlotte speechless.

In fact, the moment after receiving the statuette representing the best original screenplay, Charlotte did feel something, but it had nothing to do with love——

That is a huge amount of magic, the magic accumulated by the movie "The Sixth Sense".

"This award greatly widens the magic power channel, bringing in a large amount of magic power at once - after all is absorbed and transformed, the magic power will also increase a lot."

Charlotte was secretly happy, but she said conventional acceptance speeches such as "Thank God and Thank You".

——This line was of course prepared in advance, but the actress’s on-the-spot performance caught him a little off guard.

However, no matter what, Charlotte is still very happy to get another statuette.

However, the next three awards related to the crew of "The Sixth Sense" did not go so smoothly——

Best Actor, as expected, won.

Although Bruce Willis spent his own money to do some public relations, as an action star, he is too disliked by the Oscars, so it is actually normal to accompany him.

While Charlotte was comforting Bruce Willis, who was becoming increasingly bitter because of his frustration, she was worried about her best director.

really--

"Best Director, Anthony Minghella, 'The English Patient'!"

After all, the results announced by Mel Gibson, who won the Best Director last year, did not exceed Charlotte's expectations.

In an Oscar that is getting older and more anti-commercial, after all, purely literary films like "The English Patient" have the upper hand.

Charlotte could only clap helplessly while thinking about what movie to make later.

——Now that the post-production of "Hell Detective" is almost completed, he has been free for the time being.

Although, in order to completely complete Xu Fu's seal, he still needs to produce "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

But this is a movie adaptation after all, and the preparation time is very long - among other things, just auditioning the young actors of the Gryffindor trio is not an easy task.

What's more, a lot of magical scenes need to be prepared.

Even if Charlotte had magic to cheat, she would still face many difficulties.

It is likely that the preliminary preparation work will be completed by early 1998.

Charlotte felt that the time in between, at his usual speed, was enough to make another movie.

However, Charlotte has not yet thought clearly about what type of film she will make this time.

At this time, a magnetic male voice interrupted his thinking——

"Best Picture, The Sixth Sense!"

Al Pacino, who presented the award, was an old acquaintance of Charlotte - he had just made a guest appearance in his "Hell Detective" - ​​but the result announced by the other party was beyond Charlotte's expectations...

*********

"This year's Oscars have bowed to commercial films again!"

Jodie Foster chats with Charlotte and Charlize at the Vanity Fair post-Oscar party.

"It can't be considered a bow, right?"

Charlotte felt that Judy's statement was not quite right.

"You know, "The English Patient" won seven awards. In comparison, we only won four."

"You can't be wrong in saying that."

Jodie Foster nodded, and she glanced at Charlize on the side again,

"Sally, what do you think?"

“Who can say what’s going on with the Oscar jury!”

Charlize shrugged.

"However, I think it is normal for "The Sixth Sense" to win the best picture this year."

"How to say?"

"Look at the influence!"

Charlize is very direct and authentic;

"Although "The English Patient" is very popular among Oscars, its influence in the United States is probably far less than "The Sixth Sense", right?"

"That seems to be the case. "

The actress accepted Charlize's point of view.

But even so, Charlize still has a vague hostility towards Jodie Foster, who often appears next to Charlotte and works with her.

The two quickly left the Vanity Fair party. As for what they were going to do...

Anyway, in the reports about the Oscars the next day, not many people were aggrieved that "The English Patient" lost to "The Sixth Sense" in the Best Picture category.

There is no way, as a movie that has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success, the influence of "The Sixth Sense" is there!

In particular, as Sam Fehr said in his acceptance speech, "I see dead people!" This sentence has become a code word for communication between children and adults, and has become a social phenomenon.

What's wrong with such a phenomenal movie winning the Oscar for Best Picture?

Even, for a time, because of the Oscar bonus, "The Sixth Sense", which had been released for more than half a year, once again attracted intensive media attention.

Even "The English Patient," a literary film that shined at this year's Oscars, couldn't overshadow its popularity.

——Rather than lamenting the spring and autumn, complaining about nothing, people are more often willing to face some things around them.

The word "down to earth" seems easy, but it is quite difficult to achieve it.

"The Sixth Sense" is in line with North America's mainstream family-centered values, which gives it a lot of points.

Taking advantage of this east wind, the video tape and DVD of "The Sixth Sense" were released on the market.

In this case, the harvest is naturally abundant.

What also benefited was the promotion of "Hell Detective"...
