On May 2, 2010, the first weekend of the North American summer season, "Inception" held a huge North American premiere at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. DiCaprio, Charlize? Theron, Scarlett? Johnson, Cillian? Murphy, Joseph? Gordon? Levitt, Ken Watanabe, James? Franco, Michael? Kane and others were all present, and the scene was luxurious, which made fans on both sides of the red carpet excited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Summer is always the hottest and most competitive time of the year, and this year is no exception, from vampires to evil aliens, and "Cats and Dogs 2" starring the dog that never gets old and can speak human words, all of which continue to bombard people's minds with fierce propaganda offensives.

As soon as the fierce battle began, Duke and Warner Bros. jointly presented the long-awaited "Inception", due to the weird title and Warner's first-class secrecy of the script, the whole film was clouded with a unique Hollywood mystery in everyone's speculation.

As in the past, Duke kept a low profile when it wasn't necessary, leaving the important moments of the red carpet to the leading actors.

Leonardo in a black suit? DiCaprio, with Oscar-winning actress Charlize in a red printed skirt? Theron talked and laughed and looked relaxed, and in the face of the requests of the media and fans, they also tried to cooperate, patiently posing for them to take pictures.

Joseph? Gordon? Levitt and James? Franco walked the red carpet hand in hand, and the two wore similar black dresses, as if to convey to the outside world that they were a pair of good friends......

Duke holding Scarlett? Johnson walked quickly across the red carpet and before entering the interview area, he was met by a very unexpected person.

"Hey, Duke. Hi Scarlett. "Brad? Pete greeted the two warmly.

Duke and Scarlett shook their outstretched hands one after another, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you here?" ”

"I haven't seen this film yet...... "Brad? Pete muttered, "I'd like to see it sooner." ”

Can you roughly guess Brad? Pete's intentions. Duke didn't ask any questions, and the three of them walked towards the interview area while chatting.

Just Brad? Pete appeared here, and Duke was still a little surprised.

This is the first weekend of the summer season, and it's not just "Inception", a big-budget commercial film, being released. "Agent Sauter" produced and distributed by Sony Columbia Pictures will also be officially released in North America, and the heroine of "Agent Sauter" is Angelina? Julie, Brad? Pete's current girlfriend.

Brad? Pitt didn't go to the premiere of "Agent Sauter" but came to his side, and the intention of building a good relationship with Duke was obvious.

Duke can think of all of this. As for the one who can't figure it out, it can only be said that Brad? Pete and Angelina? The way Julie's strange couple gets along is incomprehensible to outsiders.

The gossip about these two people is not only a topic on the table of the American people, but also the focus of discussion in Hollywood circles, and there are too many entanglements around them.

Take this year as an example, there was once news that the two were about to get married, but Angelina appeared last month? Julie caught Brad live at home? News of Pete and babysitter**, angry Angelina? Julie only fired the nanny.

Subsequently, there was news circulating among the top brass in Hollywood, Brad? Pete asks a private investigator to investigate Angelina? Julie's past. It was discovered that the other party had a chaotic life in 1999, and had taken wild and indecent videos and self-harm photos.

Brad? Pitt understands that Jolie has been committed to building her image in recent years, and if the scandal comes to the surface, it will definitely hit her and her children hard, so he spent $10 million to buy old indecent videos and photos to "wash the bottom" of the other party.

Although it is unknown whether the news is true or false, it is groundless and not necessarily without reason, and more than 90% of Hollywood's gossip is always supported by countless evidence as facts over a long period of time.

As far as Duke knows. Brad? Pete and Angelina? Julie should play her own game, as long as she is not caught by the other party, she basically ignores the other ......

On the web, of course. The reputation and reputation of these two people are not good, in fact, they are just a microcosm of Hollywood, that Jennifer who plays the victim of marriage? Aniston is no better than Angelina? Julie is so good, the American sweetheart changes boyfriends very quickly, and because of the embarrassing position of not being popular or purple after the end of "Friends", Brad must be mentioned in the interview? Peter. Call each other your favorite.

This is just the most common hype method in Hollywood, and the atmosphere in the circle is like this, and no one can say anything, such as many people know Demi? Moore is bisexual and often pulls other women with her current husband Ashton? Kutcher plays threesomes, but he doesn't find it strange at all.

Also Julie's actor ex-husband Billy? Bob? Thornton openly courting Jennifer? Aniston, everyone knows it's not for love......

Using celebrities who have a relationship with you, or borrowing all the elements that can be hyped to promote yourself, is what every Hollywood star or person who wants to be a star is doing.

In the Hollywood circle, showing affection is also a regular means of publicity.

However, some people don't like this kind of propaganda either, and Duke knows very well that love is never for show, and the love that is shown will soon wither and die, which is almost a law of Hollywood.

Whether it's with Ivanka? Trump, or Scarlett? Johnson gets along, Duke gets along with Steven? Spielberg and James? Cameron, like others who never mind showing up in front of the media with their significant other, but that's about it.

And in interviews, even if media reporters ask each other, Duke and Scarlett will only talk about movies.

Standing in the interview area, when asked by reporters about the film, Duke still cooperated, "The relationship between the waking world and the dream life, I have always found it a very interesting and contradictory point of view, in the dream world, whether it is fear, happiness, idealized state, in fact, it is an uncontrollable thing created by the human brain, mind, and ideology, and the imagination space generated by dreams is extraordinary." I began to think about how to show this infinite energy on the big screen, from a very humanistic point of view, in the form of a large-scale action movie. ”

A reporter from the New York Times turned to Scarlett again and asked, "Miss Johnson, what do you think is the focus and core idea of this film?" ”

Hearing this, Duke took a slight half-step back and gave up his position to Scarlett.

She was clearly prepared, and said directly, "I discussed the characters and the script with the director, and I think 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. ”

Scarlett thought for a moment, then said, "Duke said that the core idea of this film is that the creation of a concept is actually like a very elastic parasite, and the traces of its crawling are forever there somewhere in your brain. If someone can invade your dream space and use an extremely real means to act recklessly, or even steal an incomparably ** concept, this kind of entry point for narrating the story will be very fascinating. ”

Although another reporter asked a question, Duke and Scarlett stopped answering, and there were security guards escorting them to the photo area, and the media reporters found a better interview subject, Leonardo? DiCaprio has already walked into the interview area.

Not to mention Leonardo's fame and appeal, the emotional drive of this film comes from the core character, Leonardo? DiCaprio's protagonist Daum? Cobb.

As the lead actor, Leonardo? Facing the camera, DiCaprio said: "I was attracted to Duke's script, the story of the script is very entertaining, the variety is terrifying, anything can happen. But the key 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 was so excited to be a part of this film and to be able to work with Duke! He is an absolute expert at mastering multi-layered storytelling and will make the audience feel authentic at their fingertips. ”

Charlize standing next to Leonardo? Theron is also the focus of the media siege, the Hollywood superstar, fully showing her elegant and noble side, and said, "There is no doubt that I have seen the finished film, just like reading Haruki Murakami's novels, the movie is full of fantasy, but that world does not feel strange surreal, but has a strong sense of existence, and the abundant emotional passages in the movie are also his indispensable main core, although the story is complex, it will never deliberately confuse people." ”

The leading actors walked into the interview area one after another, and after receiving routine interviews, they came to the background board covered with sponsor logos to take a group photo, this moment is star-studded, in today's Hollywood, it can be said that it is a very rare thing to gather so many stars in one film.

For the film industry, a quote from the country where Duke 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!

Standing in front of the backdrop, the crew took a group photo together, and then with the sponsors, and it was not until nearly half an hour later that Duke led the main cast and crew into the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and "Inception" will also kick off the screening. (To be continued.) )
