"Director: Wan Xiaohu."
"The latest science fiction masterpiece!"
The subtitles fade and the picture lights up.
At the entrance of the university stairs, an old man spoke to a girl (Alan Peggy), and Leonardo stood aside.
"Mr. Cobb has an errand and he wants to talk to you."
“Is it an opportunity for a work internship?”
The train rushed into the street, the car was spinning in the heavy rain, and people were floating in the hotel corridor, all kinds of incredible scenes flashed. Then they jumped back to the university, and Leonardo stepped forward and said, "That's not."
The picture changes again, and the city of Paris begins to curl.
"We create a dream world!"
Several people walked into the insurance room.
"That's a dream proposition!"
The elevator rises by the sea.
"They will fill their secrets in their dreams!"
On the streets of Paris, the girl pointed at Leonardo: "And you break in and steal?"
Liu Dehua came into the camera and was fiddling with a machine.
"Well, strictly speaking, it's not legal."
Several scenes flashed, several people in the hotel room were suspended in the air, someone on the roof was dragged away, the elevator fell in the passage, and countless people in the dim room fell asleep. Countless huge ruins of the building collapsed one by one. The bustling streets suddenly rolled up and folded in half. Leonardo stood alone in the palace, and suddenly the water flooded the mountains of gold!
"This is called dream inception!"
Leonardo took a deep breath: "I'm ready!"
Clang, the picture darkened, and another row of bright silver metal-like fonts appeared: "Leonardo DiCaprio."
"Natalie Portman."
"Alan Paige."
"Zhou Runfa."
"Liu Dehua."
Various lenses flash, and then gorgeous special effects appear, forming cold fonts that are interspersed in the picture.
"subconscious!"
"It's the crime scene!"
"Inception!"
As soon as Joseph Levitt Gordon took out his sniper rifle, Liu Dehua next to him took out the bazooka: "Dear, what are you afraid of? Have a bigger dream."
Bang.
Rocket launch.
The screen suddenly became dark.
The subtitles appeared last time: "On July 16, it will be landed in North America, major ordinary theaters and IMAX theaters in mainland China."
...
There are three versions of the trailer for "Inception" and are aimed at different ticket stores. The trailers placed are also different, attracting audiences from different cultures to the greatest extent. In addition to trailers, posters, patch advertisements, online virus marketing, celebrity activities and other promotional methods, they are also used in every way.
During the entire publicity period, Sasha Entertainment spent nearly $40 million in publicity expenses.
With the production cost of $160 million, the total cost of "Inception" will reach a sky-high price of $200 million.
Such a big deal is to fight a beautiful box office battle!
"Oh, I have bought tickets for "Inception" for a long time. As for the boss's movie, I must support it unconditionally. I didn't expect to get the free ticket from your Time Network again. I'm so happy that I can see "Inception" as soon as possible." A college student wearing glasses said carelessly in front of the camera in front of the reporter from Mtime Time Network.
"This time I got the premiere ticket. What should I do if you bought the movie ticket?" asked the reporter.
"Of course I'm watching it again. I've watched none of my boss' movies several times."
"Then congratulations, we will see you all the way to the mainland premiere on July 14th."
After seeing off the college student with glasses, the picture instantly moved to another place, and a reporter was still asking a passerby holding the premiere ticket in his hand.
This time, Time.com is delivering premiere tickets on the one hand, and taking the opportunity to promote it on the other hand.
"How does it feel to get the premiere ticket to Inception?"
"I'm very excited. I'm a die-hard movie fan of Wan Xiaohu. This is the second time I have received a premiere ticket. The first time is "Never End". For this ticket, I have been on your Time Network for more than a week!" Passersby said excitedly. It seems that they are veteran members of Time Network.
Tickets from Time Network are not delivered casually, and they need to complete some designated tasks, such as inviting ten friends to leave messages, such as posting their own movie reviews.
"Please predict how much box office "Inception" can win in China?"
"Well, I think I can break 1.4 billion and defeat the box office of "Avatar"." Passersby said confidently.
"Why are you so confident in Wan Xiaohu?"
"Wan Xiaohu has a nickname, you should know it. It is called the Box Office Record Terminator. He has refreshed all kinds of box office records in China, and there are also various Chinese film records. It is maintained by Wan Xiaohu's movie. I think this science fiction film that Wan Xiaohu invested the most should be able to achieve better results."
"But 1.4 billion records are too difficult?"
"This... set a goal first, then take it slowly." The passerby also felt that it was a bit unrealistic. "Avatar" is a phenomenal movie, and it cannot be surpassed by just saying that it can be surpassed.
After the passerby bragged, Time.com interviewed another white-collar beauty.
"It's a surprise, are you also a die-hard movie fan of Wan Xiaohu?"
"Of course, why do you ask that?"
"Uh, I think most of the movies directed by Wan Xiaohu are science fiction types, and there shouldn't be many girls who like this type."
"How could that happen? Don't you know that Brother Hu is the most handsome one among the directors. He is young and versatile. No matter what movie he makes, I will support him!" said the beauty with a silly face.
...
The noisy pre-screening event resounds the reputation of "Inception" throughout this summer, in no corner of the world.
After July, the premiere of the movie will bloom all over the world. Today, Leonardo DiCaprio will attend the Italian premiere, tomorrow Natasha Portman will attend the South Korean premiere, the day after tomorrow Allen Peggy will attend the UK premiere, then Andy Lau will attend the Japan premiere, and then Zhou Runfa will attend the Malaysia premiere.
On July 12, all the creators attended the North American premiere.
On July 14, Wan Xiaohu took Liu Dehua and Zhou Runfa to attend the premiere of mainland China.
The premiere was held in the IMAX multi-functional hall of the CBD flagship store of Jiahe Cinema. Many shots of "Inception" were shot in IMAX. The most perfect experience is naturally presented on the IMAX large screen.
The two-hour movie viewing process can be described as "gaochao" one after another.
Shocking, praise, and emotion filled the entire cinema.
When the last "Director Wan Xiaohu's Work" rose, applause rang like a tide, for ten minutes, endless.
"You are so enthusiastic. Thank you for your applause and support. This is an affirmation to me, my team, every actor and staff in the crew. From your applause, I feel your love, which is enough. In order to shoot "Inception", we visited six countries in three months, from China, Britain, France, Morocco, Canada, and then to the United States. The hardships in it are unforgettable. But with your applause, it is worth it!"
After the premiere, as a custom, Wan Xiaohu, as the director, went on stage to say some thanks in a brief manner: "I am here, especially thanks to my team, Leonardo, Natasha, Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Allen, and Gordon. Thank you all the actors, thank you every crew member... Thank you for every movie fan friend, media friend present, thank you everyone."
The applause rang out again.
After walking out of the theater and coming to the interview area, media reporters were eager to ask questions. There were too many questions to ask about this masterpiece-level blockbuster "Inception".
"Director Wan, the film's shots are so amazing. Is it difficult to shoot such a shot?"
Wan Xiaohu nodded: "It's very big. "Inception" is like a puzzle with thousands of pieces. You have to think carefully about every detail. The shots in the movie have been strictly considered before they have decided to shoot them. How to make the shots full of beauty without being disconnected? This is all the work that plagues our crew. I am very proud that we completed the task outstandingly under difficult conditions."
A reporter asked Zhou Runfa again: "Brother Fa, is it difficult for you to play the role of Long Fa?"
Zhou Run waved his arm: "Because there are many levels of dreams in the movie, as an actor, director Xiaohu has strict requirements on subtle expressions. But in some cases, you have to grasp and do your homework. Each level of role is different standards. You must maintain the personality of the characters and be close to the style of each level. Many shots are also shot in real scenes, and they are even full of dangers and are very difficult. But now I will say, Ah, I did it, I did it with such a difficult challenge."
"Brother Fa, Andy Lau, you two are Chinese superstars. What is the reason that attracts you to join "Inception" as a supporting role?" A reporter asked a question that many people want to ask.
Whether it is Zhou Runfa or Liu Dehua, they are used to being superstars. Even if they are not famous in Hollywood, they will not fall into the level of three supporting roles or four supporting roles.
Liu Dehua laughed: "Xiaohu and I are friends. Whether it is for such an excellent script or for Xiaohu, I will act, even if it is for soy sauce."
Zhou Runfa also laughed: "I felt embarrassed very early, because the last time Xiaohu asked me to act in "Wanted Warrant", and I failed to cooperate successfully. I just thought that no matter what, I would cooperate with Xiaohu again."
A reporter asked Wan Xiaohu again: "I just finished watching the movie and am still shocked. How did those incredible shots be taken? Especially the explosion of Leonardo and Allen at the entrance of the cafe, would it be too dangerous?"
"Well, I can't finish the technology behind these shots in three or five hours. In the future, when the DVD is released, I will edit the behind-the-scenes footage of the shooting to the end, so I won't go into details now. As for the explosion on the streets of Paris, I can only say that Leonardo and Allen Peggy are very brave." Wan Xiaohu said casually.
In fact, he was just fooling around. This shot looked extremely dangerous, but it was not dangerous at all. They were on the streets of Paris because the local city and government did not allow T~NT explosives to be used, and could only be replaced by liquid nitrogen. The most advanced directional blasting technology was used to open a safe island at the entrance of the cafe.
After repeated experiments, the safe island is even safer than the places where the peripheral crew filmed.
Wan Xiaohu doesn't say these contents now, but naturally they are to increase the mystery and attract audiences. When the box office is almost done, they will deceive the movie fans into buying DVDs in the form of decryption.
In this way, the premiere ended successfully, and the box office battle after it was released!
This summer season.
"Inception" is here!!
Chapter completed!
