[Thank you 'A Bufei' thigh brother 1888 for the tip, thank you 'Jiawen' for the total 1888 tip, thank you 'Hu Xiaolei' for the 588 tip!!] Ask for a reward, ask for a monthly pass, brothers, you can't drop the chain in the last two days! 】
Summer vacation has begun, and there aren't many viewing targets for North American audiences this weekend, with a disaster film named Poseidon released today, as well as a sketch romance film named Bad Luck Eros and a movie called One Ball Fame.
"Unlucky Eros" doesn't mention it, "One Goal to Fame" is through the magic of editing, successfully transferring the wonderful moments of the European League to the big screen, but football is a European sport, and Lao Mei is not interested in it - ice hockey, basketball, rugby, track and field, swimming and other sports are more appetizing to it. Even the distributor Disney Company is not optimistic, and retreats from the difficulties, and changes the scheduled large-scale start to a small-scale release in 1007 theaters.
The competitors are not very strong, even if you count the movies released last week, only the seemingly powerful "Mission Impossible 3" can pose a slight threat.
The audience walks into the cinema and looks at all the targets, and only "Inception" is a movie that makes people want to watch it. What's more, this is also the only big-budget sci-fi film with a 100 million yuan camp released at the same time this week.
Although Hu Yifei has not made any record of shooting a 100 million yuan sci-fi movie before, he has a low-budget sci-fi film "Source Code" with an excellent reputation that has been released in North America, and it is highly evaluated, and the disc has sold millions of copies in North America, and is recommended by countless movie disc collectors.
Coupled with last year's "Hangover" frenzy, the two movies he has made in North America have a good reputation.
With this comeback, and the lack of other particularly attractive films coming out over the weekend, Inception is a natural choice.
……
A little later, Cameron, who did not attend the premiere, dressed in casual clothes, also walked into a movie theater a little closer to home with his wife Susie. From stepping out of the car to entering the cinema, he has been watched by Zhou pedestrians.
Passing by the poster wall, his gaze fell through his sunglasses on a poster on the wall. Several leading actors stood on the roof of a building in the middle of the criss-crossed high-rise buildings, Hu Yifei's face was solemn and his brows were furrowed.
His gaze stopped for a long time on the line "Director: Hu Yifei" on the poster before he looked away and looked at the slogan written on the poster: "This world is not really ......"
"Playing with sci-fi elements? Although the theme of dreams is still relatively novel, it is too difficult to control, and not everyone can shoot it well. I'd like to see if this propaganda is right or not. With a smile on his lips, he turned and walked towards the screening room. It wasn't until I walked into the screening room and sat down that I felt that the gaze on me disappeared.
Who called him the famous "King of the World"?
Today is the day when Hu Yifei's recently promoted very popular movie "Inception" is released, although James Cameron has not personally directed the movie for some years, and he did not immediately agree to Hu Yifei to return to the digital field under his leadership, he just feels that Hu Yifei is not qualified enough. No matter how much money Hu Yifei has, it has little to do with him. It's true that money is a good thing, but after all, he cares about movies, especially as a director who regards technological innovation as his life.
No matter how lively the hype before the release is, it will only be clear when it enters the theater.
As far as Cameron is concerned, he also has to take a good look at the film to see if there are any elements that can move him and help him make up his mind...... Leave or join?
At the same time, the 3,800 theaters in North America were almost full of theaters showing "Inception".
There are many "star audiences" hidden in it, and Ang Lee also took the whole family to watch the movie together.
"Can this little compatriot make such a large-scale sci-fi film with an investment of hundreds of millions?" He's looking forward to it.
And Tom Cruise, tonight he left his daughter again, sunglasses, face mask, baseball cap, a whole set, and walked into the movie theater with his fiancée. He has to carefully observe the performance of his opponent and predict whether his "Mission Impossible 3" can win the championship this week.
Tom Cruise's recent series of actions have been sprayed like a dog, but he is not as scolded by the outside world: narrow-minded, brainless, and looks down on women...... Otherwise, he would not have been able to achieve today's figure at the top of the Hollywood pyramid with just a handsome face.
Hollywood's summer files have always been gold grabbing, and even if there is no Hu Yifei, there will be other people's movies that meet in a narrow way. After so many years, he can still distinguish between public and private.
Taking off his sunglasses and putting down his handbag, Tom Cruise and the two sat in the VIP box in the theater, looked at the time that was about to reach midnight, and waited for the movie to start. Compared to Tom Cruise, whose face is slightly serious, Katie's face is still slightly pale after the end of production a few days ago, but her face is full of happy smiles, which makes up for this sick skin.
She knew very well that her fiancé was fired by Paramount, and she had the intention of befriending the Chinese to start a company together, but now the two movies collided and seemed to be in an embarrassing situation. only expects Hu Yifei's movie to be put down, so that he needs his fiancé's status in Hollywood even more, and it just takes advantage of Tom Cruise's wishes.
"Whew~~"
The theater suddenly fell silent, but Hu Yifei breathed a long sigh of relief. It's not a sigh of relief, it's a tense breath. The others in the back row won't hear it, but the baby, Charlize, Liu Dehao, Joseph, Robert Downey Jr. and others sitting next to him will hear it really.
"Relax, man!" Robert Downey Jr. slapped his shoulder with his fist, and Hu Yifei laughed in return.
Baby quietly grabbed the corner of his clothes, did not speak, and Hu Yifei shook her hand in understanding.
Liu Dehao looked like a big brother and comforted: "Ah Fei, don't worry, you will always face it, as long as you do your best." ”
Hu Yifei nodded and said, "I'm fine." He smiled at Joseph, Charlize and others who were looking at him with concern: "I've watched the movie several times, and it's the first time you've watched it, so enjoy it, I hope it can make you like it first." ”
The curtain opened, the music sounded, and the audience in the screening hall consciously gradually quieted down.
Powerful surround sound, rocker seats, and a huge IMAX screen that floods the entire line of sight.
The logo of the family film industry jumped out of the big screen, and in the sound of music, gongs, drums, and suona sounded in unison, a burst of children's crisp laughter spread, followed by the traditional Chinese shadow puppet show, the shadow puppet show is the scene of the Monkey King making trouble in the heavenly palace, and the children are sitting in rows on the benches.
This logo has been staged countless times in North America last year, but the strong Chinese flavor, coupled with the more exquisite picture after the careful processing of special effects artists in the digital field in the later stage, still makes American audiences watch with relish. As a film company that has successfully launched its company into Hollywood, this logo is even more representative.
Subsequently, the logos of Warner, China Film, Huayi, and Anle Film and Television appeared one after another.
The audience was in high spirits, and the critics were either calm or fierce...... Countless pairs of eyes in North America are looking at the big screen, and "Inception" has been released!
"Whoa......
As soon as the opening scene passes, an abyssal and vast sea appears on the screen. (To be continued.) )
