Bang, bang, bang!

The applause continued.

In order to determine more theaters, a small-scale screening was held at the Wanda CBD Cinema in Beijing, and the invitees were all domestic theater owners and distributors from Asian countries. A screening was also held at the Santa Monica Theater in the United States, inviting the heads of theater companies in the United States and Canada, as well as distribution companies in Europe, Australia, Africa and other places.

The two screenings were all full of applause, and everyone was impressed by "Inception". Therefore, the negotiation of the theater chain was easy and simple, and 3,768 theaters were won in North America, and all IMAX theaters. Although the mainland is 38% of the film schedule, this is only on paper, and the bosses will definitely add screenings in private.

All over Asia, it will be released at the end of December, and other countries and regions will also be released at the end of December or early January. The film is rated PG-13, and children under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by their parents, which is destined to attract a large number of students and add to the box office fire.

""I Am Legend" is hotly released, "National Treasure 2" and "Inception" are waiting for each other, on Christmas Eve, who will win the final victory in the Christmas War? Let's find out on the streets! "Radio Columbia, dedicated to the Christmas box office fights, has prepared an episode.

"There are three days on the weekend, I think I'll watch them one by one, I've already seen "I Am Legend", it's not bad, maybe go and experience "Alvin and the Chipmunks."

"Oyer. Chekyo. Do you remember me? Oye, Chekyo, I'm the black brother, Oye. This time I support. Oye. I support "I Am Legend", Will. Smith, our black brother. Chekyo! ”

"Inception, I didn't say it, from the trailer, I knew it was going to win."

"It seems that the approval rate of the three films, "Inception" is slightly better, and the weekend is coming. Let's wait and see. "Columbia TV, "The Big Bang Theory" in cooperation with Summit Entertainment, has never fallen out of the top three in the ratings, which can be described as a good cooperation, and the program is naturally slightly biased towards "Inception".

The TV station joined in the fun, and the media did not need to say much, the soldiers must fight for it.

"The previous work has a good reputation, and the sequel has set off a storm again, an epic action blockbuster, starring Nicolas Cage, and an interview with the main creators of "National Treasure 2"!"

……

No matter how noisy it is in the media.

In the eyes of countless people, whether it is red, cursed, expectant, or indifferent, on December 20, 2007, it was still in the Beijing Wanda CBD, and the world premiere of "Inception". Although it is a Hollywood blockbuster, it is invested by Dream Chase Entertainment alone, and Shao Shuaijun held the premiere in China.

The main creators are all gathered in Beijing, and after tonight's premiere, they will go to all parts of the world in batches to do publicity.

On the red carpet, the stars shine.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Runfa, Mr. and Mrs. Leonardo and Scarlett, Mr. Gyllen Hill and Mr. Alan. A pair of Peggy, a pair of Wen Zhang and Liu Shishi, a pair of Deng Chao and Sun Li, a pair of Huang Bo and Li Bingbing, a pair of Xu Zheng and Xiaolongnu, are all domestic and international big stars. There are also stars such as Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, etc., either in groups or alone.

Zhang Yimou, who is directing the Olympic Games in Beijing, also took the time to attend the premiere. There are also directors such as Ning Hao, Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Zhangke, Wang Yixue, Li Fangfang, etc., all attended.

Stars, directors, media, and more than a hundred ticket-grabbing spectators, hundreds of people gathered in the cinema waiting to meet Inception.

Gao Zhisheng was busy arranging seats, while Shao Shuaijun and Zhang Yimou and other directors sat down early to talk.

"I heard Zhang Weiping say that he participated in the screening and said that the movie is very good-looking and absolutely popular all over the world. sigh, our mainland finally has a director who can go to the world. Zhang Yimou was quite emotional. He is one of the most famous directors in the mainland, a frequent visitor to several major film festivals, and "Hero" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. But when it comes to popularity, that is, it is only domestic, and few foreign audiences know him.

Shao Shuaijun smiled modestly: "Director Zhang is the director who goes to the world, this Olympic Games will definitely go down in history, as a director, this is the recognition of the Chinese, but also the recognition of the world, unprecedented." ”

This is not a compliment, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in 08 is definitely the most spectacular in the world, and Zhang Yimou's name will be remembered by the whole world with this Olympic Games. Such an honor is just a Zhang Yimou in China. As the leader of the five generations of directors, "Hero" performed well commercially, and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" also won the highest box office of 89 million yuan in mainland literary films.

Seeing such a box office at that time, Zhang Yimou directly called Shao Shuaijun, who was the screenwriter, and said, "You earned, I lost." A nominal screenwriter who has already sold the script has taken a 5% share of the box office, which is almost catching up with his directorial fees. Of course, when he said this, Zhang Yimou was in pain and happy, who would have thought that a literary film could also harvest 90 million box office.

"Let's not blow each other, don't make jokes to Xiao Shuai and Xiao Ning." Zhang Yimou smiled and waved his hand, "I heard that "Inception" uses several special camera equipment, and now, there are few mainland directors who have used Panavision cameras, let alone IMAX and the like." ”

Shao Shuaijun sighed: "We used five cameras, Panavision, aerial photography, high-speed photography, IMAX cameras, and sony's 4K digital. To be honest, if you haven't used these cameras, you can't imagine how much a good camera can have on commercial films. I used to want to go to Nortel to study these photography techniques, but in fact, Nortel didn't understand these cutting-edge technologies. On the one hand, there are cost constraints, and on the other hand, there are market constraints. ”

"We make movies, and directors sometimes eat boxed lunches, which can't be compared to you." Wang Xiaoshuai laughed at himself.

Shao Shuaijun shook his head and didn't say anything more. Some domestic directors do not lack storytelling talent, but what they lack is nothing more than capital and technology, as well as courage.

At this point, the big screen lights up and Inception begins. (To be continued......)
