The movie is a dream, but Nolan brings the audience into a dream within a dream, and Martin is the pioneer of the dream of theft.

He starred in the dream thief Daum Cobb, who is best at infiltrating other people's dreams, stealing valuable information and secrets in the subconscious, and if necessary, conducting further memory transplants to tamper with the other person's memories.

A creative concept and theme, a simple story, but once again Nolan uses a relatively complex narrative technique.

Even so, this film is not difficult to understand at all.

Hollywood has proven time and time again for decades that movies that are too complex will only drive audiences away from the market.

And Nolan also used a lot of visual spectacle shots that captivated passers-by.

Dream scenes, there is no need to respect the physical laws of the real world at all, all kinds of space flipping, sea water inflow, urban collapse, etc., can be played to your heart's content.

The only thing that can limit a movie is budget and imagination.

When the Kodak Theatre's big-screen credits were closed and the ceiling was lit up, the audience burst into applause.

If "The Matrix" has created a new realm of "pretending to be a movie", then "Inception" has pushed it to new heights.

The audience applauded, and Nolan took the main creator of the crew to the stage for a curtain call.

Tom Hardy has been quietly watching Martin and watching him stand with Nolan enjoying the craziest adoration of the audience.

Thinking about what he had endured for Martin, he was inevitably unbalanced.

The greatest grievance and suffering fell on him, but the gains, money, and glory belonged to others.

followed the curtain call with the main creators of the crew, Tom Hardy was not the slightest bit excited and excited, only depressed and sad.

Finally survived to the end, and after coming out of the backstage, he joined the agent.

The two walked out together.

Tom Hardy asked: "When the filming of "Inception" first started, director Nolan told me that he wanted me to play the villain Bane of "The Dark Knight Rises", why did someone else get the role? ”

The agent said: "The feedback from the crew is that you are not big enough. ”

"They're talking nonsense!" Tom Hardy doesn't believe it: "If it were for this reason, Director Nolan wouldn't have invited me in the first place. ”

The agent was silent for a moment and said, "Before the shooting, when I communicated with Emma Thomas, Nolan's mind hadn't changed, but shortly after the shooting...... When I asked again before the crew left for Paris, Nolan said that the invitation to you was just a preliminary idea, and that it would be discussed until Bane auditioned. ”

Tom Hardy couldn't help but say, "Another shooting!" ”

The agent didn't want the client to think that he was incompetent, and the ready-made excuse was put in front of him, so he simply pushed it up: "That shooting incident had too much impact on you, everyone thought it was done by you, no one was willing to defend you, and director Nolan also overturned the idea of asking you to play Bane." ”

"I know." Tom Hardy asked, "Originally, they weren't targeting me. ”

The agent nodded and responded: "According to Brad Pitt's confession, he was instructed by Harvey Weinstein to target Martin Davis. ”

He was relieved: "Harvey Weinstein is about to be severely punished!" ”

Tom Hardy didn't speak, feeling that the culprit was not Harvey, but Martin.

Xavi was far away from him, but Martin was close.

But these Tom Hardy are all pressed in their hearts, and Martin's bastard is not easy to mess with.

On the other side, Martin, Leonardo, and Nicholson, the three bastards, get into the same car and prepare to go to the night club to wash their faces.

The topic of the trio is still on the party that Leonardo is preparing.

Leonardo has been looking at his phone, saying the latest news: "In addition to models, there will be several Russian and Ukrainian actresses who want to break into Hollywood." ”

Martin suddenly remembered the Catherine the Great who often appeared in short online videos in his previous life, but unfortunately he only remembered that the other party played such a role, but he didn't know what his name was.

"Russian and Ukrainian actresses, Milla Jovovich in Hollywood, I only know one Yelena Korikova, I talked to her when she was developing in Hollywood, but unfortunately she went back to Russia," Nicholson said. ”

Martin asked, "Jack, are you talking about serious chat?" ”

Nicholson spread his hands: "Isn't it normal to have a deep chat after chatting?" ”

Leonardo shrugged his shoulders and said to Nicholson: "You're going to be disappointed, Yelena is too old, the actress who will come by then will be about the same as a model, and she won't be very famous, after all, the first time I organized a party over there, I haven't fully figured out the way." ”

Martin suddenly thought of a question: "Leo, there won't be swallows among these people you invited, right?" ”

Leonardo had heard: "Swallows of the KGB? Rest assured, there will never be. Swallow cultivation is not easy, each one is too precious to be used on us. ”

He grinned and said, "Even if there is, what can I do? At that time, I will hire the most professional security guards, and they will only become prey when they come in! ”

Nicholson was interested: "I've heard so many rumors about swallows, and I've never seen them, let alone started them. ”

Martin nakedly revealed: "Because you have no value! ”

"Yes, you have value." Nicholson countered: "After killing so many Russian spies, the swallows will definitely calm you down completely......"

Leonardo deliberately asked, "How to be calm?" ”

Nicholson pulled out with one hand and cut with a knife with the other: "Of course it is!" ”

Martin knows very well in his heart that he has never killed a Russian spy, and it was all the LAPD and the FBI who framed Da Mao.

Leonardo pressed Martin's shoulder: "Hey, you're not going to be cowardly, become a soft egg, right?" ”

Of course, Martin won't admit it: "What are you kidding, I've always been the hardest one!" ”

The three of them went to wash their faces, refreshed one by one, and ran to Avalon to have a few drinks before they went home.

Martin had an extra text message on his phone, which was sent by Thomas, and Warner Bros. did a questionnaire at the premiere, and the audience responded very well.

The next day, the media word-of-mouth ban on "Inception" was lifted.

The Los Angeles Times' columnist Kenneth Turan gave the film great praise: "The anti-physics discussion, the brilliant action sequences, the impactful emotion, and the astounding performance of Martin Davis as always, in Inception, are addictive." ”

Other media outlets have also received rave reviews.

"Martin Davis has once again proved his eye for film selection, and Inception with director Nolan is a fascinating sci-fi dream journey."

On the website, it's a carnival for movie fans.

"One person has a thousand faces, it is precisely a good actor like Martin, it is also a commercial movie, but the characters he created show a completely different temperament, in "Fast Pursuit" he almost performed the action scene to the extreme, and this "Inception" shows elegance, humor and wisdom......"

With the lifting of the ban on the film's word-of-mouth, the statistics of all aspects have been released, with a freshness of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, an average score of 9.2 on IMDB, a score of 83 on MTC media, and a comprehensive score of A on CS live audiences.

"Inception" has a good reputation.

Of course, there are bad reviews, such as a part of the group that is targeting Martin.

"Martin's films are always very chaotic, full of violent elements such as explosions, shootouts and killings, which have nothing to do with art, and he is as far away as the artist is from New York to Los Angeles."

Who can make everyone like it except money and gold and the like?

There are martin fans, and naturally there are martin blacks.

Martin is okay, Nolan has generated a large number of black fans because of the battle for points on IMDB for "The Dark Knight".

"Inception" has just finished its premiere, and many one-star negative reviews have appeared on IMDB's related columns.

"This movie is pure garbage, one of the worst movies of all time, and I know that my remarks will inevitably be attacked by Nolan's brainless fans, because I see through the essence of Inception - bullshit nonsense!"

Similar reviews were quickly inundated with insane positive reviews.

But for this super production, which has a budget of up to $160 million and a total cost of $80 million in publicity, the only thing that really judges success or failure is the commercial benefits.

Of all the commercial revenues, the box office is the most basic.

Commercial screening is an online advertisement, and consumers have a bad review of the advertisement, which will definitely affect offline sales.

By Thursday night, "Inception" was in advance in 1,800 theaters across North America.

Because of the original film, the midnight box office only received $4.12 million.

"You're not going to hit the streets, are you?"

Bruce, who got the previous night's report in the manor, frowned: "That's a bit low." ”

Martin took a deep breath and reminded: "The midnight box office of 'Avatar' was only $3.53 million, which is the inherent disadvantage of original films. ”

If it weren't for him and Nolan's fame, it would be nice for this film to have a $2 million midnight box office.

Martin asked, "What about "The Last Wind Child" in the same schedule? ”

"$2.75 million, but it's an animated film adaptation," Bruce said. His voice changed sharply: "However, the reputation of the film is very poor, the IMDB score is not more than 6, and the CS live audience score is only B-." ”

"At the end of the day, you will know what you can do," Martin said. ”

This year's Independence Day falls on a weekend, Americans have a three-day holiday, and Inception is fully released in 3,988 theaters across North America starting July 2.

The film did not follow a strategy of simultaneous global releases, even in markets such as the United Kingdom, Mexico and Brazil, which would be released as soon as next weekend.

Even if "Inception" has Martin and Nolan in the lineup, the natural high risk of original movies still makes many people full of doubts.

Past box office superstars and big-name directors have fallen on original films.

In one day on Friday, "Inception" earned $26.54 million, sitting on the top spot at the box office.

"The Last Wind Child", which was released at the same time, only received $15.57 million.

The former has excellent word-of-mouth from the media to the audience, indicating that there will be a very stable box office trend.

The latter has a sparse reputation.
