Chapter 352 Arrival in the United States, Meeting. Inception's promotion in North America began at the beginning of the year, and has become more frequent in the last month.

Before and after, Luo Mo's studio made "Inception" invest a total of 30 million US dollars in North America, which is much more than the money spent on "The Hangover" at the beginning.

However, this year's "Inception" was also promoted many times better in the United States than last year's "The Hangover".

This is first of all due to the American influence that "The Hangover" brought to Luo Mo, and secondly, thanks to the participation of Zhang Ziyi, Luo Mo, and Jeff Bridges - this is really very likeable. Needless to say, Zhang Ziyi is one of the most beautiful women in China in the hearts of Americans, and her previous series of movies also have a lot of influence in this country, and she once appeared on the list of "the fifty most beautiful faces in the world" in the American list.

In fact, Americans have a very unique aesthetic for Chinese, and they think women like Yu Nan and Lucy Liu are beautiful...... But in the eyes of Chinese aesthetically normal, these two people are very ordinary, especially Lucy Liu...... Very average! Zhang Ziyi can be regarded as an aesthetic face that China and the United States have in common.

After Luo Mo passed "The Hangover", his popularity in the United States skyrocketed, and he suddenly became a very well-known director in China, and he has now launched his new film so soon, and Luo Mo's popularity is climbing wildly.

Then there's Jeff Bridges, and the Oscars are too important in the hearts of Americans...... In fact, this is very important in the minds of people in the whole world. And Jeff Bridges, as the winner of this year's Academy Award for Best Actor, has now become a supporting role in the movie and has become the focus of publicity.

After adding a Jeff Bridges, the arrogant Americans' expectations for "Inception" instantly soared - there were Americans in it! As a result, under the main publicity centered on these three main actors, the popularity of "Inception" in the United States skyrocketed.

And now the latest news, Luo Mo has come to the United States!

Many fans also want to meet him.

On the first night he came to Los Angeles, the jet lag made Luo Mo a little tired, but he pressed this fatigue into his heart.

Because he booked a ticket to an NBA team here, today is a regular season game, the Los Angeles Lakers host the New Orleans Hornets, Luo Mo is lucky, and he can see the duel between his two favorite stars at once. After entering the society, Luo Mo had fewer opportunities to watch NBA games, especially after Maddie sank and Yao Ming continued to be injured, making him gradually discouraged from the NBA as one of the Rockets fans, and he liked it even less. But as long as there is time and opportunity, I will still pay attention, let alone this situation of seeing the ball game live?

After watching a game, Luo Mo followed Yang Siyi and quickly left the stadium, but he posted a Weibo in the middle, took a photo on the court, and added the words: I saw Kobe Bryant at the Staples Center. The tweet soon had thousands of more comments under the watching, which had grown to 180W followers.

The next day, the journey officially began.

In Los Angeles, Luo Mo and the others held a meeting.

At this meeting, the starring actors of "Inception" participated in Luo Mo, Zhang Ziyi, and Jeff Bridges, and many people came to the scene, many came to see Luo Mo, and many came to see Zhang Ziyi...... But in any case, the scene was very lively. And not only did there be a lot of Chinese at the scene, but there were also a large proportion of blacks and whites, many of whom came for Luo Mo, after all, a vulgar "Hangover" is really another Luo Mo's image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

There were a lot of people at the scene, but it was the first time for everyone to see Luo Mo, but some people seemed a little excited-

"Hey, this guy is Luo Mo! He doesn't look as old or as lewd as The Hangover......"

"It's such a young man...... I'm reminded of "The Hangover", it's a hilarious movie. ”

"The new movie should be good, it's 3D, but no one knows if he can make it good or not......"

…… In the midst of everyone's discussions, Luo Mo said a word of thanks and expectation in English that was close to the speech, which he repeated several times by himself, and now he speaks it in English, very fluently, and there is no mistake in pronunciation. If you speak English well, it is still a plus in the eyes of Americans, and Luo Mo soon established a better image in the hearts of this group of Americans.

However, next, the reporters' questions were not friendly at all, but the most important thing was that their very unfriendly questions, after they were asked, they immediately attracted the noise of the audience, because they liked these sharp questions very much-

"Director Luo, "Inception" uses 3D real-life shooting techniques, which has always been a very top technique, with all due respect, your country's movies do not rely on visual effects to win, so are you very confident in the three-dimensional effects and special effects of "Inception"?"

Luo Mo paused, and after understanding the full meaning of this sentence, he smiled and said: "I have to say, the special effects team used in "Inception" is Weta Digital, which is the special effects team that produced "Avatar", maybe you can also ask "Avatar", will it suffer in special effects?" If their answer is no, then I think Inception also has reason to say that our special effects will be very good, please rest assured. ”

Luo Mo's words make sense, anyway, it is their special effects company, so the special effects should still be guaranteed.

"You want to tell the story of dreaming in this movie? What kind of effect do you want to create? Someone asked.

"That's a good question." Luo Mo said: "As we said before, this movie will make us think about a question, that is, how should we distinguish between dreams and reality, and my movie has a relatively strict logical structure...... And all of that will be ...... in the movie."

Who knew that Lu Dao, he had just finished saying this sentence when he was interrupted by a reporter-

"Hey, Director Luo, we don't like to listen to you boast here, to be honest, I've always had a question for you, your "Inception" is not a Chinese kung fu movie we like, nor a costume film, nor is it a B-grade comedy that you made very likable before, so what do you want to use to attract people in this movie, apart from you, Zhang Ziyi, Jeff, and 3D effects?"

Luo Mo's face turned green when he heard this interruption, these self-respecting and arrogant Americans are sometimes really arrogant to the extreme.

However, he tried his best to suppress this unhappiness in his heart, in fact, many Americans are still polite, and this guy is a discordant.

But the questions he asks are also straight to the heart - yes, why does he think his film can be so good? Why did he think he could sell well in North America?

Many people were staring at Luo Mo.

Therefore, Luo Mo must answer this question head-on, otherwise he will at least lose in his aura today.

Luo Mo paused slightly and said loudly: "As you know, "Inception" has been fully released in Asia, not only in Chinese mainland, but also in many other countries and regions in Asia, including Japan, South Korea and so on. The attraction of my film is the same as that of most good movies - the details, the plot, the structure, the visuals, ......"

Luo Mo didn't say much, but he was really unhappy in his heart...... He is now counting on "Inception" to let this group of people see the blockbuster he made, not "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Hero", but it can still sell a lot of money here, and it can still make Americans applaud.

"Do you think Inception's North American box office will continue The Hangover's success?"

This is also a sharp question, in the eyes of many Americans, except for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "The Hangover" is already the peak of the box office of foreign language films, and there should be no way to surpass it, and now Luo Mo has come to the United States with a movie that has been strongly promoted, his intentions are obvious, he must want to create a box office miracle in North America.

It's just that the result can really be exactly the same as he thought?

People in the United States think it's hanging anyway...... He can't be as good as every movie.

Luo Mo thought about it carefully, and still adopted the same attitude as he said when he was in China: "Yes, and I have a great hope that I can make the final North American box office of "Inception" surpass "The Hangover." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the audience was in an uproar!

Everyone thinks that "The Hangover" should be the pinnacle of Luo Mo's movies, and when he should be content, suddenly he filmed another "Inception" and was ambitious, but he didn't expect his ambition to be so big!

Many people secretly thought in their hearts that this young director was really too arrogant. Does he really think that his films can achieve the desired effect? Do you really think getting a high box office will be as easy as "The Hangover"? North America is not so easy to mix, even Zhang Yimou, who Americans used to like a lot, is no longer as popular as before after a "City Full of Golden Armor...... And he is a young man, and now his tone and ambition are so big, his biggest possibility is definitely to sink in the North American box office market!

Although his movie has so many attractive elements - the well-known Zhang Ziyi, the star and director of "The Hangover" Luo Mo, the Oscar for Best Actor Jeff Bridges, and such a high publicity investment, even if it is such a favorable time and place, it sounds really difficult to produce a box office that can surpass the more than 100 million dollars of "The Hangover".

It is likely that this group of Chinese will suffer a big loss this time...... Then he was hit on the head and bled to the bottom before he began to know the reality.

It's just that these thoughts in the hearts of Americans were quickly shattered in the reality of "Inception" later!

Two days after Luo Mo's meeting, "Inception" officially premiered in North America! The premiere on this day was held together with the official release of the movie, and before the premiere, there were still a lot of sharp words that rushed to Luo Mo without reservation...... Luo Mo had to sigh that after all, it was a foreign country, and these people didn't give themselves any face.

If he wants to save face, he can only earn it back from the movie!
