824 Ten Years (Happy Valentine's Day)
"...... Inception is a very clever film, rich in detail and intricate in narrative that takes people into a subconscious labyrinth. ”
- This is the evaluation of "Variety". ”
"As for Empire magazine, it says that Inception is similar to The Matrix—"
Speaking of this, Charlize looked at Charlotte, who was still stroking her belly, with a little shame, before continuing,
According to their comments, the anti-physics discussions, the brilliant action sequences, the impactful emotions, and the amazing performance of you as the director and lead actor are all addictive. ”
"It's a whole new frontier of Charlotte cinema!"
Charlize deliberately made a tone of truth,
"—Anyway, that's what they say. ”
"Really?"
Charlotte nodded,
"In this way, the media evaluation should be very good!"
"Almost!"
Charlize nodded,
"Still, it's not like there's no opposition—"
As she spoke, she grimaced at Charlotte, who was still caressing her abdomen with the old god on the ground,
The explanation shows that too much worldview is biased and constrained by ethics, the charm of the characters is too shallow and lacks in-depth shaping, and the pretense is profound, which makes people dizzy. ”
- This is what the New York Observer commented, and did not give the film a high score. ”
Speaking of this, Charlize paused deliberately, wanting to whet Charlotte's appetite.
The latter, however, remained unmoved.
This made the South African girl understand how confident her husband really was in this work.
And thinking about the hard work of everyone during the filming of "Inception", the large number of new technologies used in the film, and the wonderful story, Charlize feels that this is actually a natural thing.
"Aside from the sensationalism of the New York Observer, most of the media have given very positive or even very high reviews. ”
Charlize Orthodox,
"This newspaper is a minority of the minority after all, and we can see this from the IMDB score and the freshness of the Rotten Tomatoes website——"
"I've seen this too. ”
Charlotte interrupted his wife with a smile,
"9.4 points, this is the highest score I have ever scored on IMDB, and it is worth remembering!"
"It's not just memorable, it's one of the best in IMDB's overall score rankings, isn't it!?"
Charlize muttered,
"Even if it is "The Godfather" or "The Shawshank Redemption", which are old movies that are regarded as gods by fans, IMDB's score is just hovering around this score, and many times it is less than this score!"
"Now it's it!"
Charlotte shrugged,
Because of this, Inception has temporarily sat in the first place in the IMDB rating. ”
"Unfortunately, it's only temporary. ”
Charlize shook his head,
"The ratings of most movies will gradually decrease as the movie is released for a longer time. ”
"That's right!"
Charlotte nodded,
"However, even if it's only a temporary number one, it's good - after all, none of my previous films have ever scored so high on IMDB. ”
This is true.
Although since "Fatal Bend", Charlotte's film departments have been box office hits, and the reputation of the audience and even film critics is generally good, but his previous works have always been tepid on IMDB, a film review website whose influence has been expanding in recent years-
The score is not low, but it has always lacked the top 10 ratings.
Of course, those that can be on the top 10 are basically very classic movies, and it is not a problem if they can't be listed.
However, Charlotte was still a little dissatisfied.
And this time, "Inception" rushed to the top1 of IMDB in one fell swoop, even if it was only temporary, but it also made him happy......
In fact, it's not just Charlotte who got her heart -
From the release of "Fatal Bend" in 1994 to the present, Charlotte has been a director in Hollywood for 10 years.
This has allowed him to accumulate a large number of die-hard fans, and even some professional film critics, such as Kenneth Turan, are also his fans.
In the eyes of these people, none of Charlotte's movies can make it to the top 10 of IMDB, which is really unpleasant.
However, IMDB's somewhat mysterious scoring algorithm left them helpless.
It wasn't until this time that "Inception" broke out completely and directly rushed to the first place in the IMDB rating, which made everyone excited all of a sudden-
"That's right!"
In the shared apartment, Emily looked at the computer screen and said to Gianna,
"The plot, picture, special effects, scenes, performances, as well as rhythm control and even music of "Inception" are all the best choices, if such a movie can't enter the IMDB top10, it must be a problem with the website itself!"
"But the truth is that Inception has a high IMDB rating, so the site is fine?"
It is rare that Gianna and Emily have reversed the role relationship between complaining and being complained.
- Although after Emily's "mission", Gianna is now a die-hard fan of Charlotte, but in terms of "iron", she still can't catch up with Emily, who has amazing mobility.
Although she also cares about the reputation of "Inception", she is more interested in the plot of the movie itself -
"Did that spinning top fall in the end? Director Charlotte, no, did Cobb return to his real home?"
"Well...... this"
Emily touched her chin,
"I think he's going back, but ......"
Emily couldn't help but frown.
As a veteran movie fan who has been watching movies with her father who has owned a video rental shop since she was three years old, Emily's ability to interpret the language of movies is far better than that of a novice fan like Gianna.
However, because of this, although she saw a lot of details from the story of "Inception", and thus deciphered the conclusion that "Cobb has returned to the real world", she is not completely sure.
- Because with reference to some other details, it seems that a completely different ending can be interpreted.
"It's like Rashomon, or is there a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people?"
Emily thought bitterly.
Fortunately, as a man of action, Emily quickly thought of a way-
"What should I do if I can't read my favorite movie? Then watch it again! If you can't read it twice......
Gianna has no objection to this.
In fact, there are not a few fans like Emily and Gianna, who quickly go to the cinema for a second or even third or fourth time because of their different interpretations of the movie.
- This can be regarded as further confirming the statement that "every Charlotte movie is worth a second watch".
And the Internet was soon filled with a large number of various analyses of "Inception" -
Among them, the interpretation of the ending can be said to be the most.
Among them, there are all kinds of theories, coupled with the analysis of some powerful data emperors and scholars, even many people who were not interested in this movie were attracted to the cinema.
- And then they're "trapped" in the "Magnificent Dream" of Inception.
Naturally, in the comments on the Internet, there is a water army of the Ghost Party Studio.
- As a time-traveler, Charlotte will not fail to realize the importance of online word-of-mouth publicity.
In particular, after gaining the ability to distribute films in North America, the Ghost Party Studio also deliberately strengthened its online publicity department in order to highlight its own characteristics.
In this case, the commercial masterpiece directed by the studio owner Charlotte himself was released, how could the trolls of the Ghost Party studio not add fuel to the fire?
It's just that Porokov, the head of the naval department who was given a "admiral" nickname by Charlotte, found that he didn't actually need to contribute much to the promotion of "Inception" -
After publishing some introductory posts on the Internet, Porokov discovered that countless "tap water" soon sprung up in "Inception", and naturally took over Porokov's original job.
- So, Porokov and the Ghost party studio "Water Army" under his leadership, almost without doing anything, were already lying down to complete the task.
"If only it were like this every movie I promote!"
Porokov sighed in his heart.
Of course, he also knew that it was impossible.
- Not every movie is Inception, and not every director is Charlotte Booth!
But at least, for the time being, Porokov can relax for a while.
"IMDB score of 9.4, Rotten Tomatoes index of 93%, quite a good result!"
Porokov felt that he just had to be careful not to be smeared and troubled by others......
Of course, a good reputation must eventually be transformed into real box office results before the movie can be considered a success.
Like "The Shawshank Redemption", it is difficult to say whether it is a pit for the participants of the movie, such as "The Shawshank Redemption", which only recouped the cost and realized profitability with offline income after 25 years of release.
- Of course, this may be a bit exaggerated considering the way Hollywood studios have always done their accounts, but there is no doubt that "The Shawshank Redemption" did not make much money.
In contrast, Charlotte's film is a completely different situation -
"$60 million on the first day!?"
Although he had long guessed that the box office performance of "Inception" would be very good, Charles Rowan still didn't expect it to be so good.
"This has already surpassed the box office results of sequels of most hit movies, right!?"
As the producer of Warner's docking with "Inception", Charles Rowan has also seen the box office data of many big productions, but it is very small that may reach this number.
"Charlotte Booth's appeal is really powerful!
However, through statistics, Charles Rowan found a problem -
As an original movie, the movie "Inception" can achieve such unimaginable results, which is actually an additional boost.
That's the big IMAX screen!
