The scale of the release of "The Sixth Sense" is far inferior to that of "Terminator 3", and even inferior to "Liargian", which was released two weeks ago.

There were only 2300 movie theaters on the first day of filming, but for a new director, it is still considered a large-scale release.

Several large theater companies have promised to expand the scale of the film's release as soon as the film's box office on the first day meets expectations.

Ryan didn't even bother to say anything about this, theater companies have always been like this.

To put it bluntly, it is profit-seeking.

On the big screen, the movie started playing.

The couple, played by Bruce Willis and Nicole Niederman, drink to celebrate an award, followed by a long period of passionate scenes.

Then unexpectedly, a patient that Bruce Willis had given up rushed in and shot and killed Bruce Willis.

The following plot progressed very slowly. It was nothing more than a psychiatrist trying to cure the mental illness of a beautiful little girl. There was no suspense or horror.

For audiences who like to watch horror and horror movies, it is simply a kind of torment. Some people even couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, thinking that they were deceived by the promotion of the movie.

The movie played on the screen is more like a literary movie than the spooky horror movie in the promotion.

According to the normal model, "The Sixth Sense" will usher in a box office failure.

However, when the little girl played by Scarlett Johansson said that she could see the souls of the dead, the plot of the whole film suddenly changed. It turns out that the horror plot has always existed, but it has not been discovered.

"God, it turns out that the character played by Bruce Willis in the movie is already dead."

"Great film with an unexpected plot."

"Bruce-Willis and that little girl's acting skills are amazing."

Ryan is more interested in looking at the screen. The rivalry between Bruce Willis and Scarlett Johansson is really eye-catching.

I have to say that Knight Shyamalan trained Scarlett Johansson well, adding a bright spot to the film.

Of course, the biggest selling point of the whole film is the plot reversal at the last moment of the film. Scarlett Johansson was born with the ability to see the souls of the dead, not some kind of mental illness, and Bruce Willis has been dead for a long time. It's just that he doesn't know it.

From the beginning to the end, Bruce Willis only communicated with the character played by Scarlett Johansson, and the rest of the screen only gave people a feeling of communication, not really communication.

Let the audience who think they understand it cry out in surprise, while the audience who don't understand it are at a loss.

No movie is 100 percent perfect, at least not The Sixth Sense.

Shirley Lansing suddenly said in a low voice: "People who watch this film for the first time will have an illusion and want to watch it carefully from beginning to end."

"Paramount's professionals expect that the release of this film will cause a considerable wave of second viewing."

"The value generated by this script is by no means more than 3 million US dollars."

When Paramount staff saw "The Sixth Sense" for the first time, they chose to watch it again.

I think it's the weirdest movie they've ever seen.

"It's not that exaggerated." Ryan looked very calm, "The number of second viewers may not be that many."

The audience for the second time is another feature of "The Sixth Sense".

After the movie on the screen ended, warm applause erupted from the audience seats, and many audience members applauded spontaneously.

"The Sixth Sense" is not only very qualified as a spooky horror film, it can even be regarded as a classic.

The two quickly ended their conversation and got up to face congratulations from the media and guests.

"Nate did a great job." Ryan hugged the director of the film, Knight Shyamalan, "You created a classic movie."

"And Scarlett." Ryan skillfully reached out and touched the beautiful blonde hair on her head, "Outstanding acting skills can be used as a textbook."

Hearing Ryan's praise, Nate Shyamalan couldn't help but twitched his mouth, looking at Scarlett Johansson with a very weird gaze.

Ryan hugged the main creators of the crew one by one. When it was Nicole Kidman's turn, he seemed to pause slightly, and whispered in Nicole Kidman's ear, "Excellent."

"Thank you." Nicole Kidman didn't show any abnormality on her face, she just said thank you.

At the moment, Ryan asked Jon Fertimer to take the entire crew to the press hall to be interviewed by a group of media reporters.

He himself and Shirley Lansing sat down in the lounge beside him.

Ryan did not talk to Shirley Lansing immediately, but put a book in front of her, "the first work of a British female writer."

Shirley Lansing picked it up and flipped through it a few times, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?"

"This is what you said, a new collaboration!" She looked up at Ryan.

"That's right." Ryan nodded, "This is a book for children of all ages, to be precise, a magic book."

"Orion Films has already bought all the copyrights of this book, but its sales are not very good."

Ryan was not disappointed about this point. Under the huge sales of "Harry Potter" in his previous life was the marketing operation of the entire Time Warner Group.

At present, neither Orion Pictures nor Antonia Kidman's mother's distribution company can compare with Time Warner Group.

So the best choice is to find a film company with the support of a media group to cooperate with.

In the end Ryan chose Paramount over 20th Century Fox.

Twentieth Century Fox has no shortage of franchises, such as the "Star Wars" series that is already in the pipeline.

In contrast, Paramount is recognized as not good at operating series films, and there are almost no blockbuster series of films under its umbrella.

By cooperating with it, Orion Films can gain more benefits and the right to speak.

"I am very interested in the stories in this book."

Ryan said very directly: "It's a pity that Orion Films is just an ordinary film company and cannot promote and market worldwide, so it needs the support of a large media group."

"It's going to be a series."

Hearing Ryan's words, Shirley-Lansing showed a dignified look on her face, and lowered her head to read carefully.

From "The Blair Witch" to the just-released "The Sixth Sense", Ryan's eyes seem to be able to see through the future.

Shirley Lansing dare not underestimate the cooperation project he recommended, otherwise Touchstone Films and Disney are the best examples.

"The physical distribution company of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is only a company based in Canada, and the author himself is not well-known, which severely limits the sales of this book."

"And Paramount has the support of Viacom Group." Ryan said confidently: "This will be an unprecedented series of films."

"Orion Pictures is willing to share the copyright with Paramount to create this series of films together."

Undoubtedly, the attraction of a series of films makes Shirley-Lansing's heart beat constantly faster. She knows very well how amazing the income a series of films can bring.

However, Paramount's luck seems to have been out of the series of films. There are many blockbuster films produced every year, but there is no series of films that can support long-term income.

"I need to seek the opinions of other company executives, as well as Mr. Sumner-Redstone." Faced with an opportunity to create a series of films, Shirley Lansing will not give up anyway.

What's more, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ recommended her to Ryan Gosling.

However, if Paramount wants to pass this project, it needs to go through some procedures, and even Shirley Lansing cannot directly agree to it.

"No problem." Ryan is very aware of the value contained in "Harry Potter".

It is difficult for Paramount to refuse this cooperation, and not only can he use Viacom's channels to promote and market the entire "Harry Potter" series, and share a very sweet cake.

By the way, we can also deepen cooperation with Paramount to relieve the pressure brought by 20th Century Fox.

From this point of view, Ryan has always been very close. With the channel of Orion Films, it is impossible to market the "Harry-Potter" series all over the world.

It's better to share a piece of cake, which can bring more benefits.

Viacom Group is the third largest media group in the United States, and even the market value of Viacom Group in the previous life surpassed that of Time Warner Group.
