Chapter 852: Are You Cold?
Summer is always the hottest and most competitive time of the year, and this year is no exception, from toys to the second generation of techno-rich people to Martians, as well as the green-skinned monster of the anti-traditional fairy tale, they are constantly bombarding people's minds with fierce propaganda offensives.
The fierce battle has reached its climax, and Matthew and Christopher Nolan jointly presented the long-awaited "Inception" by fans, due to the weird title and Warner's first-class secrecy of the script, the whole film has been shrouded in a unique Hollywood mystery in everyone's speculation.
Matthew walked the red carpet amid the chanting of countless fans.
When he came to the media area, he was dressed in a formal suit, chatting and laughing with Emma Roberts in a short dress, and his demeanor was relaxed, and in the face of the requests of the media and fans, they also tried their best to cooperate and patiently posed for them to take pictures.
Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy walked the red carpet one after another, and the two wore similar black dresses, as if to convey to the outside world that they were a pair of good friends......
This is the last good schedule of the summer season, "Inception" held a huge North American premiere at the Emirates Rock Theater, and the main creative team led by Matthew and Christopher Nolan all appeared on the red carpet.
There is only one exception - Anne Hathaway.
"Why didn't you see Anne Hathaway?" asked Emma Roberts, taking advantage of the reporter's photo.
Matthew waved at the fan before replying, "Christopher Nolan refused to let her go." ”
The incident in London seriously affected Christopher Nolan's senses, and if Emma Roberts hadn't had a good aunt, she wouldn't have been able to come to the premiere.
As for Anne Hathaway, other aspects don't have much of an impact, but Christopher Nolan won't work with her anymore.
Seeing Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy approaching the media area in the back, Matthew and Emma Roberts tacitly left the area together and walked towards the interview area.
Unlike the typical American chick like Julia Roberts, the petite Emma Roberts is more in line with the oriental aesthetic.
Matthew unconsciously thought of everything that happened when he was in Canada, approached Emma Roberts a little, and asked in a low voice, "Emma, have you been cold lately?"
Emma Roberts was stunned for a moment, how could it be cold in Los Angeles in July?
"Just because it's not cold outside doesn't mean it's not cold inside. Matthew said with deep meaning.
Hearing this, Emma Roberts immediately understood, and the refreshing feeling of friction and heat appeared in her memory, and immediately said, "Inside...... It seems to be a little cold. ”
Matthew naturally understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "I'm most happy to help you keep warm." ”
Emma Roberts had already decided, "Okay. ”
Matthew saw a reporter coming up, lowered his voice and said quickly, "I'll be waiting for you at the back door after the premiere." ”
Emma Roberts didn't say much, just nodded.
A female reporter came up with a photojournalist, and according to the premiere plan, Matthew, the male lead, would definitely be interviewed.
"Mr. Horner, what do you think is the core of this film?" asked the female reporter.
Matthew thought for a moment and said, "The point of Inception is that dreams can be shared...... Dreams are designed to be both visually and sensually real, so that the dreamer himself is in the dream and does not know that it is just a dream. In that subconscious state, a person's deepest, most precious secrets are laid out. ”
At this point, he organized the language and continued, "The core idea of the film is that the creation of a concept is actually the equivalent of an extremely elastic parasite, and the traces of its crawling are forever there somewhere in your brain. If someone can hack into your dream space and act recklessly in an extremely real way, even stealing an incredibly private concept, this kind of storytelling can be very fascinating. ”
The female reporter asked again, "How about this cooperation with director Nolan?"
"Absolutely wonderful! Matthew was unsparing in his praise for the film and Christopher Nolan, "The film is full of entertainment, diverse and thriller, and anything can happen." But the point is that the protagonist wants to pursue a long-hidden truth and find his way home. The story itself is also extremely original, and no one has ever had a similar experience, let alone what it would be like. ”
"I'm so excited to be part of this film and to be able to work with director Nolan." He is an absolute expert at mastering multi-layered storytelling and will make the audience feel authentic at their fingertips. ”
Finally, Matthew deliberately put the conversation on Christopher Nolan, "Director Nolan is such a brilliant filmmaker! I can't believe that I have the opportunity to work closely with such a talented team. We had a long discussion about the characters, the past and relationship of each individual with each other. Director Nolan very encourages everyone to express their opinions, no matter the size of the role or the number of scenes, he hopes that everyone can integrate with the role, give their own ideas, and make the character and the actor truly one. ”
As a top star-level actor, there are quite a few benefits to getting closer to another commercial director who is on his way to the top.
And Matthew has a general impression that Christopher Nolan seems to have been shooting sci-fi or war films later, which are very consistent with his positioning.
Next is a world where superhero movies and sequel remakes are rampant, he won't take on superhero roles, the starring role of the sequel has long been fixed, and there are not many first-line commercial productions for him to choose from.
Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly a pretty good one of them.
Coming to the sponsor's background board to take a group photo, Matthew saw Christopher Nolan, Christopher Nolan has always had a good relationship with him, and immediately came over and took the initiative to smile and say hello.
"Actually, I really want you to appear in The Dark Knight Rises. Christopher Nolan's topic is inevitably related to the movie, "It's hard to find an opponent who can beat Batman, you are the most convincing choice." ”
Matthew spread his hands and said, "You know, I'm not interested in superheroes. He laughed, "Chris, playing Bane at my salary will cause an imbalance in the crew's salary. ”
Christopher Nolan nodded slightly, "You're right. ”
He is not a simple director, but has also been playing the role of producer in his own crew, and knows that Matthew has a very reasonable point.
After thinking for a while, Christopher Nolan said, "I still have some sci-fi plans in the future, and I hope we still have the opportunity to work together." ”
The actors who play the role need a good director, and a good director also needs a good actor, and the power of the two sides together is huge.
Matthew said calmly and seriously, "I also hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation." ”
Needless to say, both of them have a rough idea of each other's attitudes and positions towards cooperation.
For the film industry, a quote from the country where Matthew once lived is fitting - good wine is afraid of deep alleys, and the film's gorgeous star cast will ensure that it is discovered by more fans.
Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy walked over at this point, and Matthew went over to hug the two of them one by one.
"You kid, make such a big deal in Rio de Janeiro. Michael Fassbender seems to have heard some gossip circulating in the circle, "He didn't even ask me and James to attend!"
James McAvoy shook his head and sighed, "You're so disappointing, Matthew!"
"What are you talking about?" Matthew said, looking incomprehensible.
"You ......," Michael Fassbender pointed at him.
Matthew took a step back, looked the two of them up and down, deliberately changed the subject, and asked, "Are you wearing a couple's outfit today?"
Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy's black gowns are very similar in style.
"The two of you, one is going to play Professor X and the other is going to play Magneto. Matthew teased, "You can't love and kill each other like these two guys, will you?"
He deliberately looked at Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy with a different look, "You two aren't going to get together, are you?"
Michael Fassbender came over and put his arm around his shoulder, "You're thinking too much, there's still a lot of forest in Hollywood waiting for us to conquer!"
"Yes," chimed James McAvoy, "women can't push it, so there's no time for men." ”
Matthew couldn't help laughing, perhaps under his influence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy's emotional road became extremely bumpy, and the girlfriends around him changed one after another, and even James McAvoy, who was arguing for an engagement before, didn't know why he canceled the engagement.
These two people, among the second-tier stars in Hollywood, can also be regarded as well-known lumberjacks.
Standing in front of the advertising backdrop, the crew took a group photo together, and then with the sponsors, and it wasn't until nearly twenty minutes later that Matthew followed the crew into the Emirates Rock Theater.
This weekend, apart from "Inception", there were no other big-budget films, and none of the previous films that could threaten the existence of "Inception".
"Alien Battlefield", which was released two weeks ago, is definitely a typical example of starting low and going low, half a month after its release, the North American box office was just over $30 million, and in the cliff-like continuous decline, the North American box office of more than $50 million has become a luxury.
"Kung Fu Dream", which was released the weekend before, seemed to be doing well at the box office in the first week, but no one thought that it could threaten "Inception" after entering the second week of screening.
As a mainstream commercial film in Hollywood, "Inception" can be called a giant from production to publicity to distribution.
