With the end of the 81st Oscars, the affairs of the entertainment industry in 2008 have finally come to an end, and everyone has packed up their mood and is ready to be busy with 2009.

According to past conventions, the Oscars are followed by various controversies, such as the Oscar's love for "The Pauper", the disgrace of "Benjamin", such as Heath's defeat of a group of strong people, winning the Best Actor Award, and it seems that the convincing power is insufficient, etc., there are all those who sing praises and sing about declines, but they have the ratings that they can get and they are not afraid of all kinds of attacks and criticism from the media.

In fact, judging from the scale of the entire awards ceremony, the set design, and the topics discussed by the hosts, it is clear that the financial tsunami has hit Hollywood. Before the ceremony, the Walk of Fame was obviously much smaller in size.

Due to the difficulty of finding sponsors, the conference did not hesitate to openly advertise fashion designers and jewelry brands through celebrity interviews, which was rarely seen in the past, and the entire stage design and seating design of the Kodak Theater also avoided extravagance, and the audience's seats were only a few steps away from the awards stage, giving the audience a feeling that the people in front of and behind the scenes of the American film industry did not come to watch a luxurious "awards stage show", but the professional and emotional exchange between the industry.

And this MM also took advantage of the Oscar wind to further expand its fame and influence, after the Oscars, Mark is ready to end his vacation and take over the production of "Heartbeat", its main team has been gathered, just wait for Mark's order, you can start work.

But at this point, something happened that disrupted all of Mark's plans.

Mark had formulated the production and distribution plan for 2009 before the yuan, and it was still five blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, plus a number of small and medium-sized productions, plus the distribution of films produced by other film companies, a total of 25 films were released, which is the average number per year.

Other companies have to meet and discuss repeatedly with producers, accountants, and accountants before they can decide, but in MM, Mark is a word, he makes a decision, and the people below implement it.

However, before leaving, Mark meets with Mr. and Mrs. Nort and his brother Jonathan Nou, and Mark talks to them about their play "The Foundation".

The original version of "Inception" starring Xiao Li Zi and Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard, won the box office champion (summer) of North America for three consecutive weeks after its official release, and according to the IMDB website score, the film received a super high score of 9.3 out of 10, ranking third among the most popular films in history by the website, second only to "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Godfather" What's even more amazing is that its box office is reaching an astonishing 900 million.

It tells the story of a new technology in the near future that can allow people to enter other people's dreams in order to snoop on other people's privacy and steal important information, the protagonist is the CEO of a company, and his job is to find ways to hack into other people's dreams to steal and extract information, and if necessary, he will carry out further memory transplantation to tamper with his memory.

As a pioneer Dream Thief, there is naturally a team behind him, among which there is a young technical genius, and she is the most important "dream architect" in this team. Danger is looming, and one day the protagonist's wife is invaded in her sleep, so she is trapped in the dream and cannot wake up. The mastermind behind all this is to blackmail the protagonist into invading a rich businessman's dreams and implanting memories for the rich businessman to cut up his company, which is an almost impossible task......

This work is co-written by Chris Noumen and his younger brother Jonathan, and now that the script has been written, they have completed the storyboard script, of course, they hope to get MM's investment, but because "Slumdog Millionaire" is expanding its release with the spring breeze of the Oscars, they hope that after the final box office of the movie comes out, they will have enough chips to talk to Mark later, because the investment in this movie is not easy to say, maybe it will exceed 100 million to win.

Nolan said: "The foundation will not be a typical science fiction movie, but a "contemporary action science fiction film that takes place within the structure of consciousness", and it is not about the future world, but about the current real world, in which a new bioinformation technology is developed, which allows people to enter the minds, thoughts or dreams of others by injection, which is in a way very much like the synthesis of "The Matrix" or "Minority Report". ”

Mark said: "The actor's name is Cobb, which is a strange name. ”

"It is pronounced the same as the Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi for dreaming. ”

Mark said: The ending is a dream. ”

Nuo Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"

Mark said: "This ending is terrible, he has been away from the child for several years, why did the child not change at all when he came home? Why does Mel keep appearing in the protagonist's dreams? My terrible conclusion is that the protagonist never wakes up from the beginning to the end! Because the protagonist has been in Mel's dreams, the reason why Mel kills people every time and comes out to stop him is to let the protagonist know that this is a dream!" Tell the protagonist that this is not true, and this is what Mel has been emphasizing throughout the film, because the protagonist can't extricate himself from Mel's dream, my conclusion is that the protagonist and Mel dream together, but the deeper they go, the more they end, the protagonist can't extricate himself, and he also gave Mel a hint in the dream, saying that this is a dream, but it turned out that Mel committed suicide in the dream, and then the heroine returned to reality, Cobb is still dreaming, and the most frightening thing is that Cobb is still dreaming again in the dream!"

And Mel appeared in Cobb's dreams all the time in order to save Cobb to remind Cobb that this was a dream, not reality! So Cobb has been dreaming in the movie, dreaming and dreaming to meet Mel, but Mel always comes to destroy the hero's dream, to tell the hero that this is not reality, and only death can return to reality! But Cobb has never admitted that he is in a dream! Mel can only destroy his dream again and again, anyway, until now, I have always felt that Mel is really dead at the end of the film, and was beaten to death by the man he loves. ”

And he wandered in the dream forever, and Cobb sacrificed himself because of Mel in exchange for untying the dead knot in his heart! So the ending is that Mel was killed by the male protagonist in his fourth dream, so Mel wandered in the dream forever! But Cobb couldn't wake up because the heroine died, but he untied the dead knot in his heart, so he returned to the "real" home and saw the child, but the child didn't grow up, and he hadn't grown up for a few years, which was too terrible and cruel. ”

The Noir brothers are very happy, Mark can interpret this, which shows that he has read the script very carefully, and it is only after doing research and analysis that he can come to such a conclusion, an excellent film work can be interpreted in more ways than one under the superficial interpretation.

Nolan said: "Through the ambiguous ending, you should be able to see that Cobb's real life is very similar to the dream, which means that you should doubt Cobb as a person, whether the top falls down or not, Cobb doesn't need to know the truth, because he has been reunited with the children, which is very important, no matter what way, they are indeed reunited, whether it is in a dream or in reality, it doesn't matter." ”

Mark nodded: "It's a bit like a new life in The Matrix, existing in another form, but it seems too brain-burning, and the audience won't buy it if they don't understand it." ”

If a brain-burning movie is logically correct and understandable, it is indeed popular, but if you can't understand it, it will make people foggy, this is a big bad movie, and this brain-burning movie has very high requirements for directors and screenwriters.

The Normen brothers also have concerns, the special effects of this project are the key, only by fully showing the freewheeling control in the dream, the collapse of the streets of Paris, the audience will buy it, there is a sense of substitution, the plan to invest more than 100 million, the prospect! It seems that there are not many successful examples, and it is not easy to persuade to invest hundreds of millions.

"It's an experimental, it's adventurous, but we're going to make something like never before, something different, and maybe it's going to be another Matrix," he said. ”

Mark said, "Who do you want to play Cobb?"

"I hope it's Leonardo DiCaprio or Heath Ledger, and the heroine is Eva Green, but of course it's just a preliminary idea. ”

"I believe in your abilities, you can make a great work!" I agreed to invest in this film, but I need a more detailed, executable plan and budget to decide how much to invest. ”

Christopher Nou's director, Jonathan Nou's screenwriter and producer, Emma Thomas's producer, formed the Nou's family, the main power of the crew was concentrated on them, when filming "Slumdog Millionaire", they set up a production company, which was unpopular at the time, but now it is quite popular, many companies are shaking olive branches to them, but shrewd as Noo's Appendix, naturally hugging MM's thighs, Mark is bold, in "Slumdog After the big victory, they rewarded Nuo's production company with 5 million, which far exceeded their salary, which made them very satisfied, so they are very much looking forward to the next cooperation.

What satisfies them is that they are willing to delegate power, work here, have the resources and convenience of a large company, and do not have the rules and regulations of a large company, which is very comfortable.

Mark, who was in a good mood, also invited the Noir family to lunch, but at this time Louise walked in in a little panicked, and she said, "We are in trouble!"

Mark was a little upset and said, "What's so flustered?"
