On the 17th, the box office of "Inception" on the premiere day was released: $21.7 million. Three days after its release, the box office reached 62.7 million in the first week, ranking sixth in the year after films such as "Iron Man 2" and "Alice in Wonderland".
To be honest, it's not particularly outstanding, but before Lenovo's release, the mainstream media's declining arguments, this achievement seems to be very elegant.
"Nolan rebuilt 'Batman,' but this time he doesn't have to rebuild anything, and instead some directors will go to Inception to find it." ―Roger of the Chicago Sun-Times? Albert
"When Inception is over and the lights come on, you sit in your seat and stare at the screen, remembering what just happened. There is no comparison table to evaluate the fashion of the complex world led by Nolan. It was the most brilliant intellectual ever. ―Elizabeth, New York Daily News? Wittman
"Inception has surpassed many classic sci-fi films, such as Blade Runner and The Matrix. Unlike 99% of other movies, where you know as little as you know before watching Inception, Nolan quite cleverly blurs the line between dream and reality, and Inception will become a masterpiece as a summer blockbuster. ―The New York Post, Lou? Rummenik
Similarly, there are also many media who are shameless in order to show that they are mavericks:
"I'd love to tell you how bad this film is, but because this movie is so annoying, it's too hard to fully describe how bad it is." ―New York Watch, Lex? Reed
"Everything Nolan does is obsessive-compulsive and hypertrophistical. Far from being his ticket to the Pantheon, Inception is a clumsy movie with a lot of money. "―Net, Stephanie? Zazarek
"It's not depth, it's the sickness and chaos that is everywhere on screen. "Inception" should be called self-deception, it is a two-and-a-half-hour old cow and a broken car. ―The New York Media, Armond? White
The media, especially the film critics, either stand or spray, and few are truly objective.
And Warner is fanning the flames more and more, what brain-burning, gods, the first strange thing in the summer file, etc., are overwhelming...... So on the seventh day of release, the box office officially exceeded 100 million.
In fact, there are relatively few, although some people will enter the theater for this type of film, but there are many more people who are not interested at all. The success of Inception still lies in the enthusiasm of audience discussion and speculation.
Of course, the benefits that actors get are real. The first to bear the brunt is Xiao Li, except for the big ship, his commercial appeal is really not strong. The main reason is that the selection of films is too cold, and all kinds of melancholy splits.
And for now, "Inception" will definitely surpass "Get Away with Crime" (165 million) and become the second work in his career to touch $200 million.
is also bullish, as well as Marion Cotillard, who has not adapted to the rhythm of commercial films, Alan Page, who has no masterpieces since "Juno", and Chu Qing, who lacks a mainstream Hollywood masterpiece.
Back then, Li Lianlian filmed "Lethal Weapon 4", and his personal score was second only to Mel Gibson. The day after the release of Jù, a producer came to find him and tailor-made a B-grade movie for him, and his worth soared from hundreds of thousands of dollars to tens of millions.
Chu Qing's situation is different, first of all, he is not an action star, and few old beauties are willing to watch a literary film starring Chinese. Secondly, in recent years, the economic recession has made Hollywood's choice of non-white and black-skinned actors more rational.
So, he went all the way from "The Human Skin Inn" to "The Mill", then to "Midnight Kiss" and "The Killer Has No Holiday", and finally established his position with "Inception".
Almost all viewers who have watched the movie will pop up one word when they mention Arthur and that weightless fight: unbelievable!
Almost all fans who like Xiao Li have to admit that in that short confrontation scene, their idol was almost blown up.
Almost all the media are predicting that "Inception" will win the Oscar for technical awards, but the actor awards are basically useless. However, consider the Saturn Award, especially Chu. Because looking at the sci-fi and horror movies in the first half of the year, he is simply invincible.
Among them, the comments of "Village Voices" are the most interesting:
"Saying that Leo has the hope of winning the Oscar is just wishful thinking on the part of fans, and the academy will not favor this old routine. On the contrary, Chu, ha, from the perspective of a simple audience, his role is too small! However, it is precisely because there are not many scenes that this magical attraction is maintained. ”
"Village Voice" is an American art magazine, it has always been close to Chu Qing, and once made a list of the world's top 100 actors in 2006, Chu Qing is the only Chinese actor selected, ranking 21st.
This time, their evaluation is a little subjective, but quite representative.
That's right!
Too little, not enough to see, pants off half cool...... This is a grievance of many people. But looking back, if his drama volume is increased by three percent, will Lao Mei be so sought after?
The supporting roles are brilliant, just supporting roles; The protagonist is brilliant, and there are too many factors in all aspects.
…………
Hollywood, studio.
The nines were all present, and Luda was poking around in front of a large iron box with a laptop. Subsequently, he pasted the villain's palm print and swiped it on the electronic screen.
"Drop!"
The faces of the other eight changed in unison, staring at the box without blinking. I saw Luda twist the switch with great effort and pull it out, "Wow! ”
The $100 million bill was piled up like a hill in front of me, crackling and falling to the ground as the door opened.
The playing cards in Gay's hand have been flying, Tyrese jumped up in fright, Paul Walker hugged Jordana and kissed deeply, and Vin Diesel was still smiling.
As for Gal Gadot, he tilted his head and glanced at Chu Qing, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth. Chu Qing stretched out his arm and took her into his arms.
"Click! good! ”
Lin Yibin shouted to stop, walked to the middle of the field, and said: "Everyone has worked hard, Chu will be finished today, we regret that we can't say goodbye." ”
"Please! The word farewell sucks, as if you hate me. The creature laughed.
Then, the main creator came over to hug him in turn, and the familiar ones gave a few words, and the unfamiliar ones were extremely polite. Wooden method, where "Inception" is placed, even Vin Diesel does not dare to pretend to be a big name.
If you say, the 20 million club + dividends is the top of Hollywood actors, S-level; The 15 million-20 million belong to A; 10 million-15 million, belonging to a-; 5 million-10 million, belonging to B.
You know, how much is Vin Diesel's salary in "Speed 5"? The actor + producer package is calculated for a total of $15 million. And Chu Qing went through this battle and entered the house properly, and those people came to make an appointment again, and there were no 10 million people who dared to speak?
"Oh, I don't want to say goodbye so soon......"
Gadot deliberately stayed at the end, hugged him for a minute, then let go slightly, and said softly: "Chu, it's a pleasure to work with you, you have taught me a lot, I, I ......"
She was a little depressed, so he deliberately made fun of her and said with a smile: "I don't want to part with you either, I haven't seen enough yet." ”
"Ha, you're really not good at flirting...... That's right! ”
The girl paused, suddenly took out a white-gold card, and said, "This is for you." ”
"What is this?"
"I opened a hotel in Tel Aviv, come and play when you have time, and I'll give you a 20% discount."
"Uh......"
He looked down again, and said strangely: "You mean, this is a VIP card?" ”
"Force ngo! It's a limited edition! ”
Gadot blinked, pretending to be the real thing, but in fact, he just liked to skin with him.
Chu Qing felt a slight pain, put his hand in his pocket, and said, "Okay, I will definitely go when I have time." ”
…………
Just when he was about to return to China, the popularity of "Inception" had spread to China. Fans scratch their hearts and lungs, they want to see Xiao Li, they want to see the boss, they want to see the boss beat the Yankees!
And as the popularity became higher and higher, all kinds of gossip began to circulate, and Weibo became the main front.
"This Thursday, Warner's Asia Pacific director will bring a digital copy of "Inception" to Hall 4 of the General Administration of Film Review. It is rumored that the hall can seat 200 people. If you want to see this movie on the big screen, then please retweet it! ”
After a while, it became:
"I participated in the review and watching of the film, and I told everyone very responsibly that the old men in the General Administration didn't understand it at all! I don't understand! I don't understand! They don't know if they should go through the trial! ”
After a while, it became:
"Inception has long been reviewed, but the version is different, and what we will see is a 130-minute castrated version!"
Every time a message broke out, it attracted crazy forwarding, and netizens didn't know whether it was true or not, anyway, they moved their fingers.
So much so that when Fang Yimin interviewed the person in charge of Warner in China, they made it clear: It's pure! We don't need to hold such a test film meeting, "Inception" has a good reputation overseas, and it has already been decided to introduce it. It's just that we still have to communicate with the official, and there will be news after a while......
In the midst of the noise, Chu Qing quietly returned to China, and then, uh, was immediately arrested. (To be continued.) )
