On May 2, 2010, the first weekend of North America's summer vacation, "Inception" held a huge North American premiere at the Hollywood Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. Director Duke and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johnson, Cillian Murphy, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ken Watanabe, James Franko, Michael Kane and others were all present. The scene was luxurious, which made the movie fans on both sides of the red carpet excited.

The summer season is always the most popular and competitive time of the year, and this year is no exception. "Cat and Dog War 2" starring vampires to evil aliens, and the dog who never grows old and speaks humans, are constantly bombarding people's minds with fierce publicity offensives.

As soon as the fierce battle began, Duke and Warner Bros. jointly presented the "Inception" that movie fans were looking forward to. Due to the weird title and the first-level confidentiality that Warner maintained for the script, the entire film was cast on a unique mystery in Hollywood in the speculation of everyone.

As before, Duke still kept a low profile when it was not necessary, leaving important moments on the red carpet to the starring actors.

Leonardo DiCaprio, in a black formal outfit, chatted and laughed with Oscar winner Charlize Theron in a red printed short skirt, with a relaxed expression. Faced with the requests of the media and movie fans, they also tried their best to cooperate and patiently posed for them to take photos.

Joseph Gordon Levitt and James Franco walked on the red carpet together. The two wore similar black dresses, seemingly conveying to the outside world that they were a pair of good friends...

Duke quickly walked across the red carpet with Scarlett Johnson in his arms. Before entering the interview area, he met a very unexpected person.

"Hey, Duke. Hi Scar." Brad Pitt greeted the two enthusiastically.

Duke and Scarlett held the hands that reached out, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you here?"

"I haven't watched this video yet..." Brad Pitt vaguely, "I want to see it earlier."

You can roughly guess what Brad Pitt is about. Duke didn't ask in detail, and the three of them walked towards the interview area while chatting.

It was just that Brad Pitt appeared here, and Duke was still a little surprised.

This is the first weekend of the summer season, not only is the release of a large-scale commercial film "Inception". "Agent Sauter" produced and distributed by Sony Columbia Pictures will also be officially released in North America. The heroine of "Agent Sauter" is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's current girlfriend.

Brad Pitt did not attend the premiere of "Agent Sauter", but ran to him, and his intention to establish a good relationship with Duke was obvious.

Duke can think of these. As for what he can't figure it out, I can only say that the strange couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get along is something that outsiders cannot understand.

The gossip about these two people is not only a topic on the table of the American people, but also a focus of discussion in the Hollywood circle. There are too many entanglements around them.

Take this year for example. There was news that the two were about to get married, but last month there was news that Angelina Jolie caught Brad Pitt and the nanny at home. The angry Angelina Jolie only fired the nanny.

Later, news spread among the top leaders of Hollywood. Brad Pitt asked a private detective to investigate Angelina Jolie's past. He found that the other party was in a mess in 1999 and had taken wild and indecent videos and self-harm photos.

Brad Pitt understands that Julie has been committed to building an image in recent years. If the scandal appears, it will definitely hit her and her children. So she spent $10 million to buy aged indecent video tape and photos to "wash the bottom" for the other party.

Although the news is unknown whether it is true or false, groundlessness may not be without cause. Moreover, more than 90% of Hollywood's gossip are always proven as facts by countless evidence for a long time.

According to Duke's understanding, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie should have played their own games. As long as they are not caught by the other party, they will basically ignore the others...

Of course, on the Internet, these two people have a bad reputation and reputation. In fact, they are just a microcosm of Hollywood. The Jennifer Aniston, who plays the victim of marriage, is not much better than Angelina Jolie. This American sweetheart is also extremely fast to change her boyfriend. Moreover, due to the embarrassing status of not being popular or not being purple after the end of "Friends", Brad Pitt must be mentioned in an interview, saying that the other party is his favorite.

This is just the most common hype method in Hollywood. The atmosphere in the circle is like this, and no one can say anything. For example, many people know that Demi? Moore is a bisexual and often invites other women to play threesomes with her current husband Ashton Kucher, but she doesn't find it strange at all.

There is also Julie's ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton publicly pursues Jennifer Aniston, and everyone knows that it is not for love...

Borrowing celebrities who have something to do with you, or all elements that can be hyped to promote yourself is something that every Hollywood star or who wants to become a star is doing.

In the Hollywood circle, showing love is also a conventional means of publicity.

However, some people don’t like such propaganda methods. Duke knew very well that love was never used to show it. The love that was shown would soon wither and die. This is almost Hollywood’s law.

Whether it's dating Ivanka Trump or getting along with Scarlett Johnson, Duke, like Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and others, never mind showing up in front of the media with his partner, but that's all.

Moreover, when faced with interviews, even if media reporters ask each other, Duke and Scarlett would only talk about movie topics.

Standing in the interview area, when asked by reporters about the film, Duke cooperated, "I always think that the relationship between the awake world and the dream life is a very interesting and contradictory point of view. In dreams, whether it is a fearful, happy, or idealized state, it is actually an uncontrollable thing created by the human brain, mind, and ideology. The imagination space generated by the dream is extraordinary. I began to consider how to display this infinite energy on the big screen and express it from a very humanistic perspective in the form of a big action movie."

A reporter from the New York Times turned to Scarlett again and asked, "Miss Johnson, what do you think the focus and core philosophy of this film are."

Hearing this question, Duke took a little step back and gave the position to Scarlett.

She was obviously prepared and said directly, "I have discussed the role and script with the director. I think the focus of Inception is that dreams can be shared... Dreams are designed to be extremely real both visually and sensory, so that the dreamer himself is in the dream but does not know that it is just a dream. In that subconscious state, a person's deepest and most precious secret is fully visible."

Scarlett thought for a moment and said, "Duke said that the core view of this movie believes that the emergence of a concept is actually equivalent to a parasite with extremely elastic vitality, and the traces it crawled through will always exist somewhere in your brain. If someone can invade your dream space, use an extremely real means to act recklessly, or even steal an extremely powerful concept, this narrative entry point will be very fascinating."

Although another reporter asked questions, Duke and Scarlett no longer answered. Security personnel were guarding him and walked towards the photo area. The media reporter found a better interviewee. Leonardo DiCaprio had already entered the interview area.

Not to mention Leonardo's fame and appeal, the emotional driving force of this film comes from the core character, the protagonist Gong Mu Cobb played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

As the starring actor, Leonardo DiCaprio said in the media camera: "Duke's script attracted me. The script's story is very entertaining, with a diverse performance that is thrilling, and anything can happen. But the key is that the protagonist wants to pursue a long-standing truth and find his way home. The story itself is also extremely original. No one has ever had a similar experience, and it is even more unimaginable what it would be like. I am extremely excited about all this because I can participate in the filming of this movie and cooperate with Duke! He is definitely an expert in grasping multi-level storytelling, and will make the audience feel the reality that is within reach."

Charlize Theron, who stood next to Leonardo, was also the focus of media siege. The Hollywood female superstar fully showed her elegant and noble side and said, "No doubt, I have watched a full film, just like reading Haruki Murakami's novel. The movie is full of fantasy, but that world does not feel a strange surreal world, but a strong sense of existence. The abundant emotional passages in the movie are also his indispensable main core. Although the story is complicated, it will never deliberately confuse people."

The starring actors went into the interview area one after another. After receiving routine interviews, they took photos in front of the background board full of sponsor trademarks. At this moment, the stars are shining. In today's Hollywood, it is very rare to gather so many stars in one film.

For the film industry, the saying of the country where Duke once lived is very suitable for wine and fear of deep alleys, and the gorgeous star lineup of the film will ensure that it is discovered by more fans!

Standing in front of the background board, the crew took a photo together, and then took a photo with the sponsors. It was not until nearly half an hour later that Duke led the crew's main cast and crew to the Hollywood Chinese Theater, and "Inception" will also kick off the opening screen. (~^~)
Chapter completed!
