In the end, the release date of "Inception" was set for May.

"Anyway, more than half of your films, which are released around Memorial Day, generally get a dominant status. ”

Charles Rowan said to Charlotte with a look of "we've done statistics",

"In this case, and there is enough time, then "Inception" will also be released on this day - this can be regarded as your main schedule!"

"Really?"

Charlotte did the math with a little disbelief, and found that it was really-

Starting from "Fatal Bend", many of his films were indeed released around Memorial Day in North America.

"So, I'm actually a necromancer!?"

Charlotte complained to herself.

- Eventually, it was settled.

As for the movie "Inception", Charlotte's fans have actually been looking forward to it for a long time.

After all, according to Charlotte's previous production speed of one a year, the post-production time of this "Inception" is simply too long.

- This is either a matter of suffering, or it is a sincere and meticulous work!

And considering Charlotte's past credibility, everyone basically thinks it's the latter.

In this case, everyone's expectations for "Inception" are very high.

And when the Ghost Party Studios and Warner announced the release date, fans were ignited all of a sudden-

On the Internet, all kinds of speculations and predictions are flying.

And more importantly, the reservation of the premiere tickets for "Inception" on the Internet became popular all of a sudden.

——Although in recent years, despite the development of the Internet, online booking has increasingly become an important way to sell movie tickets.

However, this is the first time that "Inception" has been able to skyrocket pre-orders as soon as the date is announced......

"It seems that everyone's expectations for "Inception" are very high!"

After refreshing several times before entering the booking site, Natalie Portman muttered to herself.

- As a top Harvard student studying psychology, even if there is some moisture in it, Natalie still learns a lot.

She knows very well that this means how high Charlotte Booth's box office appeal is as a director, a behind-the-scenes worker in the film and television industry.

I also know how everyone's mood will reverse once the quality of "Inception" does not meet everyone's expectations.

- So, she is also curious, what is the movie really like.

However, this time, Warner's tone was very tight.

Although an early film critics' viewing meeting was also held, the film reviews released by the film critics basically did not contain any spoilers.

- But it's a one-sided review.

Even Charlotte Booth personally starred in the leading role, and played a couple with his wife Charlize Theron in the movie, which was previously praised by many as death, and now it has been praised by film critics-

"Unbelievably sincere and deep feelings!"

"A performance with a rich sense of layering and endless evocative ......"

"Showing unimaginable masculine charm, Charlotte should simply become an actress!"

...... Comments that can almost be described as "licking" gave Natalie a thorough glimpse into the discipline of film critics.

And the mother, who has more contact with some producers and knows more about the operating rules of Hollywood, told Natalie that this means that the internal viewing of "Inception" must have received a very good response, which is why so many film reviews will be unlocked in advance.

- If critics generally have bad reviews, the common practice of distributors of major commercial productions is to try to block reviews first, or even stick to it until a day or two after release.

In this way, you can first deceive a wave of audiences and the box office through pre-publicity, and then see if it is possible that the critics are wrong.

After all, this kind of thing has happened many times, most notably Star Wars......

And Natalie was also skeptical of her mother's words.

She has also been in Hollywood for many years now, and she is a big girl in her twenties, so she naturally has her own opinions.

But she also has to admit that judging from the situation, the chances of "Inception" box office success should be getting bigger and bigger.

Especially, when two days before the premiere of "Inception", Roger Albert's film review was also released in advance......

"I didn't expect Roger's evaluation of "Inception" to be so high!"

As a girl who wants to make a difference at the Oscars, Natalie naturally won't be unaware of Roger Albert, a Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic.

In fact, she knows very well that although Roger Albert is not the kind of film critic who is particularly harsh on commercial films, he also feels that he is not the type of film that likes commercial films particularly like Kenneth Turan.

And when two such famous film critics both sing the praises of the same commercial film, it's very telling.

"It seems that Charlotte Booth's level as a director is indeed very high!

Natalie thought to herself.

- Yes, after being persuaded by her mother, Mrs. Hirschler, Natalie Portman decided to try her best to get a role in Charlotte's films.

- Even if it wasn't a mega-production, it was more of an experimental film, and it was a two-part set.

And her proactive attitude seems to be favored by Charlotte Booth.

So, some time ago, she passed the audition and got the role of the heroine in "Decisive 21 Points".

At the same time, in "Shocking Demon Thieves", she will also be the heroine.

And she is partnered with a rookie actor named Jesse Eisenberg.

- That is to say, excluding the possible cameos of some big-name actors, Natalie is likely to be the biggest actor in the two movies.

This somewhat made Natalie feel a little more comfortable.

Of course, Natalie also knows that in Charlotte Booth's crew, there are many behind-the-scenes personnel at the big level, and her coffee position does not allow her to get any preferential treatment.

However, people are always better than the head of a chicken rather than a phoenix!

And now, the increasingly obvious signs of success of "Inception" have given Natalie more confidence -

"I hope my mom and I made the right choice!"

Natalie muttered to herself.

But at the same time, she was a little curious about what some critics commented on that the movie "Inception" is best watched on the IMAX screen.

"The IMAX screen shouldn't be any different except that it's bigger and clearer, right?"

So skeptical, but in the end, Natalie decided to go and see the exclusive IMAX version of Inception......
