Hollywood Domination Chapter 406: I give myself to you
"On July 16, the global box office broke 1 billion, and "Codename Shero" ushered in glory, but how much box office potential is there? A new North American king is about to be born-"Inception" is on the stage!"
"The preview screenings received rave reviews, and another highly anticipated masterpiece was released during the North American summer vacation. "Inception" ended the consecutive championship hopes of "Code Shero". Meet, the summer vacation is so cruel!"
"Leonardo turned into a fish? That's just a publicity stunt and won't appear in the film, but this 160 million big production is still one of Warner's key works this year, and it is also Nolan's forte. Subject matter..."
"The box office on the first day was 21 million! The outstanding performance made this movie Leonardo's best box office in recent years..."
"The dialogue ridicules "Titanic", a man's growth is from 'you dance, I dance' to 'I won't dance with you'?"
"The exquisite conception has won praises, the dream concept is full of aura, and Nolan has once again proved himself."
"The suspicion of plagiarism is lingering? The Japanese media criticized Nolan's new work, 'He plagiarized "Red Pepper" directed by Toshi Kon..."
Compared with March and December, the annual summer vacation is full of blockbuster movies, and the most lively and exciting time period is July. On July 2, "Code Shero" will be released, and on July 9, "Code Name Shero" will be released. Despicable Me, a movie that performed very well in the first week, only narrowly lost to "Codename Shero" by hundreds of thousands and became the runner-up. In the weekend starting from July 16, "Inception" had more than 4,000 theaters Opening the painting at the same time also grabbed everyone's attention. Taking the trend of "Codename Shero" as an example, it is somewhat unrealistic to beat "Inception" on the weekend of the third week, but even so, in the summer It can dominate for two weeks, which is enough to show its strength. What people are paying attention to now is the diversion of this live-action movie to the audience of "Codename Shero": "Despicable Me" is an animation, and the influence on live-action movies may not be so great, but the genre of "Inception" and "Codename" "shero" has a higher degree of overlap, and it is also starring Leonardo, a first-line superstar, and the competition with "codename shero" will be more direct.
21 million on the first day, 20 million on the next day, and 19 million on Sunday. The 60 million in the first weekend of "Inception" successfully suppressed the 42 million in "Code Shero", but the gap is not too big , the general praise of film critics, and the enthusiastic participation of Nolan's **** fans did not make "Inception" as hot as "Code Shero". In comparison, the beginning was a bit tepid. And this somewhat disappoints many serious movie fans: Although they also admit that "Codename Shero" is a very good work, but in comparison, the impression left by innovative and interesting movies like "Inception" is more impressive-it's a pity , Quality and box office cannot be equated. Both men, women and children are willing to watch "Code Shero" for the stunts. Whether they can understand the plot or not, the literary drama is not long anyway, and special effects are interspersed everywhere. And what about "Inception"? The thinking is a little slower, and I can't understand the core of Inception. In the end, I don't know what limbo is, let alone any cool special effects of bombing buildings, collapsed buildings, and fighting. This kind of literary style, Movies that feel small and fresh are challenges for children and the elderly, and it is normal that the box office cannot beat "shero".
"I think this design is very interesting." But among young people, the design of "Inception" is really cool. Unlike "Code Shero", the world related to Kelly can only wait The official will add, if the official did not add more stories, the discussion is not long, but "Inception" has left a lot of stalks for the audience. Harry was very interested in this meme. "Do you think Cobb finally returned to reality?"
"The spinning top slowed down in the end, it should have returned to reality... But I think Cobb should have lost his persistence in the end, and I even suspect that he will gradually go crazy like Mel—when you are afraid When you are desperate and lose your attachment to reality, you have actually abandoned reality..." Jon was not so sure, "This will not be a tragic ending, right?"
"The director's intention should be to make the ending very ambiguous." Zade was also more excited, and his speech speed increased. "If you understand the good ending, then as Jon said, Cobb's mental state will be a hidden danger, and if you understand the bad ending-then the whole story is very hopeless. Let the end of the story have a little bright expectation, but it will not violate the temperament of the movie too much, this is essentially a very gray movie, what do you think?"
"Indeed..." Several friends nodded, and Harry immediately asked another question, "But how many ways are there to get down to limbo? Why are limbo connected? They died on the first floor If so, will you appear on the second floor or in the limbo?"
"This setting doesn't seem so perfect, maybe there will be an official explanation..." Jon said, she pushed Charles, "Hey, Charles, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking——" Charles showed a simple and honest smile, "Leo doesn't look as handsome as before, does he? What do you think of his acting skills?"
"boo!" Several people booed him, only Jon got involved in the topic after booing, "But, it's true, he looks quite old in the movie... ...and because he is too fat to escape the mezzanine, his acting skills are not bad-have you noticed that it is difficult for Nolan's movies to make you feel who is good or not good at acting, as if all actors are the same in his hands like."
"Because there is not much room for acting skills?" Charles said suspiciously, "Well, if he cooperates with j.j, he might be suppressed..."
——He elongated his voice slightly, and after attracting questioning looks from the three people, he grinned, "I went to the Big Dream yesterday when I flew to Los Angeles to meet Mr. Vijay ——he happened to answer a call from Leo, and they seemed to be talking about "The Great Gatsby" and j.j—this is what I heard from Mr. Vijay's words—"
"What? Really!"
"Leo is going to cooperate with j.j? Oh! This is really good news!"
Both Harry and Jon cried out in surprise, Zade also stopped, and looked at Charles with envious eyes for a while.
"Speaking of which, how is your financing going?" He asked casually, "Didn't Mr. Vijari—or J.J, ever think of taking a look at your company?"
"j.j has gone to the shooting location now." Charles said shaking his head, "It seems to be over there in Yosemite, or New Zealand—I don't know, Mr. Vijay doesn't talk about her, But I feel that I have passed his assessment, at least we talked well, maybe I will go to Los Angeles again in the future, and sign the financing contract.”
He didn't mention whether he would bring a few friends, and Harry and Jon didn't ask tacitly. Asked, "So, j.j is going to play Daisy? This should be another Olympic role—except for "Nine"—which doesn't count at all—I haven't seen her in a literary film for several years! "
"Don't worry, maybe it hasn't been settled yet—" Charles hurriedly dismissed her excessive excitement. "Anyway, let's look forward to her and Salvi's new film - the filming has started, but it hasn't been named yet..."
"You're right." Jon calmly became overly excited about the new film again, "The first collaboration with Heath - it's really exciting! They will definitely play, they will ——Maybe it’s already soaring now..."

However, Jon's guess was a little bit off-although she has arrived at the shooting base, but Jenny has not started filming yet. On the contrary, in Kitty in "Life Journey", she is talking about Charles. The mention of "The Great Gatsby", or, at least talking to the actor who starred in "Gatsby"-
"Leo, I'm so sorry, I have to apologize to you, I was drunk that night—" As soon as she answered the phone, she preemptively said, "Believe me, I will never drink again in the future, you must Don't take my words seriously—"
"It's already late." On the other end of the phone, Leonardo said in a serious tone. "I've taken it seriously."
"Ah—" Jenny cried out apologetically.
"So I decided to do as you said." Leo continued to be serious. "This is what you said, j.j, I want to win an Oscar, I want 3 billion, why don't I listen to you-"
His voice finally became relaxed, "You are right, I want an Oscar, and I want 3 billion at the box office—so I decided to listen to you, j.j, and I handed myself over to you—— "The Great Gatsby", do you think I should take it?——You have to be responsible to me—"
At the end, his voice pulled up a playful coda...
