In addition to Duke's consistently good RP accumulation and the market appeal of actors such as Leonardo, the cultural transformation caused by the rise of Internet and video game culture is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is also the focus of Duke's promotional proposal to Warner Bros., using Internet terminals to develop some clever promotional means to induce the audience's attitude towards the film in the direction of the participants.

In other words, it is easy for audiences who have generally experienced the baptism of online virtual society and role-playing video games to intervene themselves in the story of the film as a participant, allowing them to participate in the production of the meaning of the film - specifically in the case of "Inception", it is manifested in the fact that fans are enthusiastic about the plot of the film after the release, and the gathering of the fan community and fan culture makes the momentum of "Inception" wave after wave.

Compared with the connotation or decipherment, this is the real killer feature of "Inception" - to involve the audience, it must not be too difficult and elegant, nor too simple and too crude, just like the scene in the film where Cobb asks Ariadne to design the labyrinth, and the increase and subtraction must be just right.

∝ ♀ as for video games, it's better to understand, if you watch two hours and someone says, "This is a video game," the film will be a big hit.

In filming and post-production, Duke also paid attention to this aspect.

In some ways, Cobb, like Neo, is caught up in the Matrix Empire, and once you enter the realm of dreams and virtual reality, it's always a loop, whatever you want, and the film becomes a black party full of fake reality and inaction.

Because it's a dream. The ability to do whatever you want also provides a great opportunity for Duke to create a visual spectacle.

"Inception" can be said to be the Inception version of "The Matrix" to a certain extent, and the popularity of video games today can make fans more interesting to accept the story of "Inception".

After filming in Paris, Duke led the crew out of Europe and to the Whitler Mountain Ski Resort in Canada. Filming the attack on the bunker.

Frankly, the second half of the film is the key to the success of Inception.

The biggest highlight of "Inception" is the solution of the four-layer dream in the second half. Nolan sets up the difference in the sense of time between the different levels of the dream, allowing the audience to hold their breath and stare as they witness a bus falling from the bridge - the innermost part is Cobb going to the edge of the dream to meet his deceased wife, then the shootout in the snowy mountain, then the fight in the weightless building, and then the middle bus falling from the bridge, each level must be crossed at the same time.

As a result, whether the bomb will explode at the last moment has become the most concerned question for the audience. The seemingly boring dream game is transformed into an action blockbuster by Nolan, which is the focus of Inception's success.

As for the "last-minute trick" where the spinning top is still spinning, it's just a standard Hollywood routine.

And there was so much in the dream that in the end, there was no need to, and to a large extent, it was impossible to explain, how did Cobb wake up in the cabin? Is he still in a dream? Was his deceased wife's theory that reality and dreams could not be distinguished? When the film is shown, these question marks are and must be carried.

If we really want to go back to the roots, "what is true" is an eternal philosophical dilemma, Heidegger once said: "The being for which this being exists." It's always my presence. ”

According to this rather solipsistic phenomenological philosophy, as long as the perception is completely real. That's real - if Neo never wakes up in the breeding container, that virtual world is real to him, just like Neo's world, as long as the perception system doesn't alarm him, then there is no point in asking about the truth of the world.

But for the audience, these questions have the greatest significance. is that they will tirelessly pursue the truth after watching the film, and then want to use their truth to convince others, they will watch the movie over and over again to find evidence to prove that their truth is the truth!

That's the biggest use of these question marks.

Whether the person set is Duke, or Christopher? Nolan. This aspect is necessarily the same.

The scene of the ski resort is one of the places where Duke has changed a lot, and almost everyone knows that the action scene is Christopher? Nolan's Weakness, Duke Jean to Jimmy? The professional team led by Carter redesigned the entire action scenes, and the shooting of these hot scenes is more like his style.

In fact, just like the filming of "The Dark Knight", all the action scenes in "Inception" were overturned by Duke, and these are what he does best, even if Leonardo? DiCaprio and James? Franco and others' action scenes are a bit bad, but there are corresponding stunt doubles that can be used.

Filming at the ski resort continued until mid-January, and Charlize? Theron's scene ended early, and there weren't many scenes of her.

Before leaving Whitler Mountain Ski Resort, Charlize? Theron specifically found Duke.

"Will there be time?"

Knock on the door and enter Duke's room, Charlize? Theron glanced at Scarlett, who was studying the script, and said to Duke, "Can I go out for a walk?" ”

Duke nodded to Scarlett, took the down winter jacket from the hanger, and put on a cotton hat after putting it on. Theron walked out of the room together and left the hotel where he was staying.

The weather outside was a little gloomy, and a few snowflakes would fall from time to time, because the weather was a little cold and the air pressure was a little low, and the two did not go far, but walked slowly towards the place where there were few people in the small square in front of the hotel.

Thick leather boots landed on the bluestone ground, crushing the falling snowflakes, Charlize? Theron put his hands in his pockets and said, "I just got the news that I've been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. ”

"Congratulations." Duke also got the news.

Charlize? Theron stopped and turned to look at Duke, "How do you want me to thank you?" ”

Duke, of course, didn't get the meaning of this sentence wrong, thought for a moment, and said, "If you have time at the start of the NFL season next year, you can attend my team's opening game." ”

The Oakland Raiders he bought have relocated to Los Angeles this season and officially changed their name to the Los Angeles Commandos, and now it's January 2010, and the Super Bowl is about to take place. Brady, Shawn? After the contracts of Lynch and others, this season is still in the run-in stage and did not make it to the playoffs.

In the words of the team manager who hired him, Duke's poor record also had something to do with Duke, because he never went to the field to watch the team after buying it.

Therefore, Duke is ready to pay more attention to his team next season, after all, the profitability of the NFL team is also quite impressive.

Without any hesitation, Charlize? Theron responded, "I'll definitely have time." ”

With that, the two continued to walk forward, and the topic of conversation also shifted to this year's Oscars. Hearing from Theron's words, she knew very well that her nomination was a victory, and the possibility of winning the Best Actress Golden Man for the role of Ferrosa was infinitely low.

Aside from Best Actress, "Fury Road" did not receive a heavyweight Oscar nomination, and the rest were technical awards such as Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Makeup and Best Art Direction.

Obviously, except for Charlize, who contributed an excellent performance? Theron, the academy doesn't want to give other aspects of Fury Road to recognition.

But in various selections by the media and audiences, "Fury Road" was the biggest winner of the film released last year.

Among the top 10 films of 2015 selected by the National Film Association, The Hollywood Reporter, Empire Magazine, Vanity Fair, The New York Times and many other media outlets, "Fury Road" is not only on the list, but also ranks first!

In various votes for the public on the Internet, "Fury Road" also won almost all the titles of Best Picture of the Year.

With these, in fact, whether there is an academy and an Oscar affirmation, for Duke, it doesn't matter at all.

Besides, this is also a good thing, if he uses up his character this year, it will inevitably affect the plan he has prepared.

This planning time is very tight, because it has to be taken into account next year's Oscars, and Duke has already made Nancy? Josephson submitted the first draft of the script and rough plan to Warner Bros. to the review committee, and when "Inception" was released, it would move on to work on that project.

There is only one scene left about Scarlett in this shoot, and what she is studying is also the script of that project.

Duke is well aware that time is tight, but after last year's Cannes Film Festival, he has a certain plan.

And he didn't want to invest too much time in an Oscar film, and the compressed months were just used to prepare and produce "The Avengers", which was far more important to him than the Oscar statuette.

Duke and Charlize? Theron gradually walked to the edge of the small square, and the conversation shifted from the Oscars to the movie itself.

"By the way...... Charlize seemed to remember something, "the latest Hollywood script blacklist is out, are you interested?" ”

"Nope." Duke shook his head directly, "I don't have any interest in the scripts and projects on the list. ”

At a time when Hollywood is prone to sequels, remakes, and reboots, original and excellent scripts are, to a certain extent, indeed a guarantee of a good work, and the blacklist may not be a 'best' list, and the script does have a certain quality.

Most of the scripts on the blacklist are not large-scale films, but scripts that cut into the inner emotions of the characters - in other words, they are basically scripts with small costs, small investments, and small productions.

This simply does not meet Duke's needs. (To be continued.) )
