Chapter 361 Big Stride - Time Magazine. The release of "Inception" has gradually returned to calm after a vigorous atmosphere, but the pool has been smashed open, even if the blue whale has been restored on the surface, there is always an undercurrent inside.
Among them, the most obvious impact is the United States, Japan, and Europe.
After the release of "Inception", there was a frenzy of dream interpretation in Japan, the United States, and Europe, and everyone went through a fierce discussion in order to understand the film structure of "Inception". In the end, a more reliable dream analysis has come out, dismantling "Inception" inside and out, from flesh to blood.
It's just that although the structure of the movie "Inception" has gradually become clear, what the movie wants to express, the world in the movie is actually still a little vague.
The blurring of the edges between dreams and reality makes the film as if it were a glowing mystery.
As a result, the BD and Blu-ray discs of Inception were looted as soon as they were sold in these places - DVDs are not only better for preservation than in movie theaters, but they can be watched multiple times, which is very helpful for everyone to better understand the movie "Inception".
The sales of the BD version and Blu-ray version of "Inception" are hot, which many people have already thought of, but they didn't expect it to be so burning.
The BD version and Blu-ray version of "Inception" have reached 3 million sales in just 5 days after it was released in North America, which is even close to the previous hit movie "Batman The Dark Knight", and surpassed "Mobile Suit Gundam UCVOL" in Japan. 1 sold more than 200,000 copies, and Europe also sold more than 1 million copies.
This is the highest record for DVD sales of Chinese-language films.
MGM spent a lot of money to buy the North American DVD version of Inception from Luo Mo's studios, but from now on, they can definitely easily earn back all the money they spent from the DVD sales of Inception, which is also the shrewdness of big companies, they don't do unprofitable things.
At the same time as the DVD was sold, the glory of Inception began to continue as a matter of course.
Piracy on the American side can basically be eliminated, so DVD sales will be relatively higher...... It is not that the Americans have completely established a moral code to eliminate piracy, but that the social cost of piracy is too high and the punishment is too severe. Therefore, after many American directors come to China, they will even immediately plunge into China's pirated DVD market to buy a lot of films.
Now, Luo Mo is the hottest Chinese star in the United States recently, and his temporary influence has even begun to surpass Jackie Chan and Li Lianlian. Of course, this is talking about temporary influence, after all, Jackie Chan and Lee Lian have not made much movement in the United States recently.
However, even if it is only a temporary influence, Luo Mo has been unknown in the United States from the beginning, and now he is in full swing, and this punch and kick from scratch really makes people feel that it is a very infectious history of struggle. The IMDB Filmmaker List in the United States is a relatively influential filmmaker ranking, and Luo Mo is now on the IMDB list with the highest number of followers, which even surpasses many filmmakers in the United States.
"Inception" is still popular, even if it has been released to the big screen, but it is still in the DVD market. Luo Mo's popularity has soared wildly.
This is almost the first time that a foreign director has been able to ignite the spark on the IMDB list like this, of course, in fact, strictly speaking, Luo Mo is also stained with the light that he is also an actor himself, which makes his fans have two parts, and now it is natural that the attention has risen to the first place.
There are many advertisers in the United States who sent Luo Mo job offers, inviting him to the United States to participate in the shooting of some advertisements and endorse some brands, but Luo Mo did not fully accept it. First of all, China is too far from the United States, and secondly, there is a very high-end atmosphere between these advertisements, which can be considered, and other low-end products are still forgotten, which will only affect their influence in the United States.
The IMDB list, as well as Rotten Tomatoes and many other places, are proving the rapid surge in Luo Mo's popularity in North America.
Luo Mo's limited photos of public appearances in the United States have also begun to be treasured by Luo Mo's fans in the United States, and they have also begun to collect all the dynamics of Luo Mo in the world.
As a result, Luo Mo's plan to support new filmmakers in China was basically taken to heart.
Being able to have a group of fans in the United States is something that many Chinese movie stars dream of, but Luo Mo has done a great job of it.
It's a pity that Luo Mo, who everyone is looking forward to very much, will come to the United States again and meet his fans again, but it has never been realized.
This was a bit of a disappointment for everyone.
However, Luo Mo also promised that as long as his time was a little more relaxed, he would go back to the United States.
Whether you mind it or not, there is a fact that everyone can't avoid - the United States and Hollywood are the holy places and goals of countless filmmakers in the world. In China, which star appears in "Time" and which movie is popular in the United States is equivalent to giving gold and doubling its value. And in fact, how much does Hollywood buy China's account? But Luo Mo's worth is real, and he fights with one punch and one kick, without any moisture.
And in addition to these lists, there is also a very intuitive place is Twitter, Luo Mo has now opened Twitter in the United States, and a week later, he has 2 million followers, entering the top five of Asian stars in the number of fans in North America, but this is only his first week!
After a month of development, Luo Mo reached five million followers on Twitter, becoming the person with the most Twitter followers among Asian celebrities.
In addition to the United States, the popularity of Luo Mo in Europe is also soaring.
Compared with the openness that the United States advertises, Europe is self-contained, more conservative and more difficult to overcome. The strict hierarchy and aristocratic mentality inherited from the Middle Ages have made their entertainment industry also engraved with a harsh and xenophobic personality, and their taste in Chinese entertainment is also completely different from that of the United States, and many British people even think that Zhang Ziyi is Japanese.
However, because "The Hangover" in Europe was released late, but "Inception" was released relatively early, so European people's identification with Luo Mo feels like the two movies are superimposed together. Because of this, Luo Mo's popularity in Europe has risen very rapidly, "The Hangover" and "Inception" have made Luo Mo's recognition in the UK begin to approach or even surpass Jackie Chan Lee and connect them with veteran Chinese superstars, Germany is a country that knows filmmakers from other countries mainly need an introduction from the United States, and now Luo Mo's huge American popularity and the popularity of the German "Inception" box office have made Luo Mo have a high reputation in Germany.
Among other countries, Luo Mo's popularity is also very high......
If you want to say that Luo Mo's fame in Europe is not big, then there is only France, France's popularity is soaring, but it is not too high, because the aesthetic taste of French movies is always relatively niche, and movies like "Inception" have received too high a box office in the world, which seems to have aroused the rebellious psychology of French young people, so Luo Mo's popularity in France is low.
The attitude of the European film industry towards Hollywood is somewhat repulsive, and they always feel that these Yankees have taken advantage of the world and become the center of the film industry, which makes everyone very unhappy. So when they saw the appearance of "Inception", a movie that swept the American box office, their hearts were full of schadenfreude, and their attention to this sudden Chinese also increased a lot.
Back in Asia, Luo Mo's influence in the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia has soared, and he is also approaching Jackie Chan and even surpassing his influence in some places......
And he is still young, and future movies will inevitably give Luo Mo more opportunities to surpass his previous achievements.
"Inception" has almost become a cultural phenomenon that pervades the world, and many people are still reminiscing about the long afterglow of those dreams in "Inception", and reminiscing about the worldly views reflected in this movie.
It seems that Luo Mo's trip to the world also needs to begin, from Asia to the United States to Europe...... In short, there is a large group of fans waiting for Luo Mo's arrival, and many people have a stomach of questions that they want to ask Luo Mo.
At the same time, they are also looking forward to Luo Mo's new movie even more.
It's just that Luo Mo didn't reveal his plans for a new movie this time, and he only said that there was a movie on his Twitter in the United States, but he didn't say what category it was. Many fans below are looking forward to it, but Luo Mo didn't reply too much.
Now almost the whole world is looking forward to Luo Mo's new movie.
In fact, this is another reason why he has delayed the launch of a new movie plan...... He was worried that everyone's expectations would be too great, and the pressure he would be under at that time.
After all, what everyone is expecting from him now is to come up with a work that surpasses "Inception", at least he needs to guarantee the level, but he really can't guarantee this...... He didn't dare to guarantee everyone's tastes, nor did he dare to guarantee that his new planned movie would meet their expectations.
Therefore, Luo Mo simply did not announce his major movie plan, of course, the main reason is that Luo Mo is too tired......
In the past two years from "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" to "The Hangover" to "Inception", Luo Mo has hardly slept a day, and the three movies have tormented him in turn, making him haggard, and now that he finally has a little free time, he will not push himself to that realm immediately.
After all, a male star in the entertainment industry, his 30s is the golden age, and he is only 26 years old now, so he is not worried about running out of time.
However, at this time, another blockbuster news bombarded everyone's attention, this news was released by Luo Mo and Luo Mo's studio at the same time, that is, Luo Mo accepted an exclusive interview report from the American edition of Time Magazine.
Time Magazine is a very influential magazine in the world, and many people have heard of Time Magazine's famous name.
Now the American edition of Time Magazine has issued an invitation to Luo Mo!
If it is the Asian edition of "Time", everyone will not be too surprised, after all, there are more Chinese stars who have been on the Asian edition of "Time", Jay Chou, Shu Qi, Faye Wong...... A whole bunch. However, there are almost no others who have been on the American edition of Time Magazine.
Luo Mo took a big step directly, he directly crossed the Asian edition of "Time Magazine", jumped to the headquarters of "Time Magazine", and left his figure in this news magazine that still has huge influence so far.
It is conceivable how popular Luo Mo is now in the United States.
This time, Luo Mo appeared in the American edition of Time Magazine, with the title of "The New Power of Chinese Films." ”
Luo Mo and Jackie Chan, Li Lianlian, and even actors and directors like John Woo and Ang Lee have completely different paths to American fame, they really became famous in the United States through English-language movies, while Luo Mo became famous in the United States, but it was completely because of real domestic movies!
"The Hangover" and "Inception" propelled him to the pinnacle of American popularity.
That's why the American edition of Time Magazine will also have a report.
