Chatty Hollywood

However, although Charlotte stood up, there were still no accidents during the subsequent filming of "Silver Linings Playbook."

Charlotte has her own explanation for this,

"Sally, do you know that in ancient China, when people wanted to formally start to use force to oppose the emperor's rule, what was the first thing they did?"

"Is it okay to travel?"

"Traveling? It's not like we're treating guests to dinner. What's the point of traveling!?"

Charlotte said solemnly,

"The first step in resistance is to raise the flag of resistance - that is, stand up!"

"..."

Although this sounded good, Charlize always felt that something was wrong.

Charlotte continued to explain,

"The so-called success is actually to be full of failures and remain standing - resisting the emperor is the same, and making movies is the same. How many things in this world will be absolutely successful? After all, everything depends on man-made efforts, and fear can be It doesn’t solve the problem.”

"...Okay, you're right!"

Charlize was a little uncomfortable with Charlotte's sudden chicken soup for the soul.

She asked the other party why he suddenly remembered this strange statement, but she only got one answer——

"Hold it in!"

"..."

***********

While Charlotte was filming "Silver Linings Playbook" in a rather depressed mood, his reputation in Hollywood became even greater.

This is largely due to the box office performance of "Hell Detective"——

At this time, "Hell Detective" has ended its screenings around the world.

In the United States, it has accumulated a box office of 390 million US dollars, ranking first in the current North American annual box office list in 1997;

In overseas markets other than North America, the box office revenue of US$420 million is also considerable.

——It can be said that the total global box office of 810 million US dollars was simply a myth in 1997.

——If there is not a bigger myth coming at the end of the year.

In short, Charlotte's five consecutive movies since her debut have all been box office hits. Starting with "Sleepy Hollow", she has won the North American annual box office championship for two consecutive years, and she is very hopeful of winning the third consecutive year—— Many people in Hollywood regard him as a symbol of success, and they pay more attention to him.

After all, it is easier to succeed if you cooperate with successful people!

Although Charlotte is very good at hiding his whereabouts because of her knowledge of magic, entertainment reporters can never find him.

But the fact that he and Charlize filmed "Silver Linings Playbook" together could not be hidden after all.

"Did Charlotte Booth go too far? She went to film this kind of movie?"

In the mansion in Beverly Hills, Tom Cruise and his wife Nicole Kidman reviewed the recent news together,

"You know, what he has always been good at are those horror and supernatural commercial movies, but now he is filming some romance movie, and he also directed and starred in it..."

"There's nothing surprising about this. Good directors always want to break through themselves!"

Nicole Kidman gave her husband a strange look.

She didn't know why Tom was vaguely hostile to Charlotte Booth, an emerging big-name director, but she did feel that Charlotte's choice was actually quite understandable.

"Didn't Pat say before that this great director really likes her Charlize Theron? This is probably because he has shot too many commercial blockbusters and wants to change his taste and help his muse compete for an Oscar!"

"It's possible!"

Tom Cruise nodded, then curled his lips again,

"But he also thinks of the Oscars too simply. How could those old men from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences be so easily conquered by a romantic comedy film by a commercial film director?"

"That's true."

Nicole Kidman nodded,

"However, not only did he direct and star in this movie, he also roped in Charlize Theron.

At first glance, it looks like it's just for fun - even if this kind of movie fails, it won't affect his status, right? "

"It won't affect it."

Tom Cruise frowned,

"What will really affect his status is the film "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that is still in preparation - if that film fails, he will return to the status of a general commercial film director."

"Yeah?"

A trace of doubt arose in Nicole Kidman's mind.

It wasn’t that she doubted her husband’s words, but that she didn’t understand her husband’s inexplicable hostility——

Charlotte Booth shouldn’t have anything to do with them, right?

Nicole and Tom Cruise have been married for seven years.

Although she is currently experiencing the seven-year itch, she thinks she understands the man in front of her fairly well - Nicole really can't think of any reason why he hates Charlotte Booth.

"It can't be because of jealousy, right?"

Nicole couldn't imagine her superstar husband being jealous of someone else—well, it was possible to be jealous of someone else's size.

But that’s not a big problem after all!

In fact, as far as Nicole knows, Tom has always admired big-name directors.

——He will take over the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" with himself, mainly because it is a movie directed by Kubrick, who is known as the "God of Movies".

——According to this idea, even if Tom doesn't like Charlotte Booth, he probably won't have any ill intentions toward her!

Nicole Kidman really can’t understand her husband.

**********

In contrast, River Phoenix understands her husband's thoughts better than Nicole Kidman.

This was not because of any consensus between the men, but simply because he had been observing the couple in the dark for many days.

After discovering that Tom Cruise could see the invisible Alexis at this year's Oscars, Charlotte sent River to the superstar's side.

"As a headless horseman, you are good at sneaking underground. Even if the other party can see ghosts, if you are hiding underground, he should not be able to see you if he is not good at magic."

Charlotte explained to Ruifan the reason for sending him, and Ruifan confirmed Charlotte's view after long-term observation.

In fact, even if River didn't hide it deliberately, Tom Cruise couldn't see him.

——Because Ruifan once deliberately took off his own head and floated it past the other party's eyes, but the other party showed no reaction.

If a perverted exorcist like Charlotte could do this, Ruifan believed it. But even if Tom Cruise is a superstar, he should be no different from ordinary people when facing ghosts...

——This only shows that everyday Tom Cruise cannot see ghosts.

"Could it be that Charlotte made a mistake?"

Ruifan shook his head and threw this conjecture behind——

Not to mention that the cunning director is not easy to make mistakes, but based on River's observations during this period, Tom Cruise is indeed very suspicious.

——There is a strange power attached to his body, which is similar to the evil energy of original sin in Harvey Weinstein, but not the same.

What's more, his recent sudden hostility towards Charlotte was also strange.

"It seems that this "Top Gun" is not a completely ordinary person!"

Ruifan thought silently...
