Chapter 597: Leonardo's Prodigal Son Turns Back
The European premiere of the film was held in the romantic capital of Paris.
On the day of the premiere, not only Martin and Nolan and other main creative staff were present, but the supporting actor Mane also specially invited Sophie Marceau and Isabelle Huppert to help.
When taking pictures, Mene stood in the middle of the two French actresses' leading figures, holding one waist with one hand, indescribably chic.
He stole all the limelight alone.
The French press even praised him: "After Morgan Freeman, Hollywood's most capable supporting actor of African descent!" ”
Of course, Martin's limelight is not weak.
On both sides of the red carpet of the premiere, there was a large red film, and hundreds of fans wore red cultural shirts of the Coke God Cult and raised the Coke in their hands to salute Martin.
They shouted, "Long live the Master!" ”
There were even people shouting: "Master, lead us to overthrow the waste Paris City Hall and establish the kingdom of the Coke God!" ”
The romantic citizens of Paris will not only go on strike, but also delusionally want to make another wave of big songs.
Martin opened the Coke and toasted with them.
The followers of the Coke God Cult in Paris were excited, clamoring for a strike to celebrate the arrival of the leader.
But no one takes it seriously, mainly because no one cares.
After all, they are either on strike or on the way to strike.
Compared to Martin and Mene, the British actors in the crew were given a cold reception, and they were not treated much by fans to the media.
The British actors also seemed to go through the motions, rushing by.
The premiere went well, and at the end of the show, Martin and Alan Peggy accepted Huppert's invitation to go to her for a drink together.
It's also just a simple drink, Leonardo and Nicholson have come to Paris.
Martin needs to recharge his batteries to deal with the upcoming Mao Mei War.
When the crew returned to the hotel where they were staying, Tom Hardy entered the door and met Leonardo and Nicholson, who were also returning from their outing.
The two met Nolan and chatted a few words.
Tom Hardy followed Nolan and listened secretly for a while, Leonardo mentioned that he was going to have a party or something, and sent an invitation to Nolan, but Nolan politely declined.
After taking the elevator upstairs and back to the room, Tom Hardy pondered Leonardo's words.
The Hollywood bastard trio is notorious, and Leonardo is partying in Paris, and Martin is sure to be participating.
Tom Hardy has been in Hollywood for a while, and I have heard a lot of rumors, such as an organization such as a fashion supermodel group in the United States, which often fools around with Martin, and every time he takes turns.
It is said that the bastard trio often throws shady parties and gathers a large group of people to mess around.
Tom Hardy thought for a few minutes, called his attendant Rogers, and said, "You go and ask who Leonardo and Nicholson, who live in the same hotel, have been hanging out with lately, and I've heard they're going to organize a big party." ”
Rogers didn't understand what his boss was going to do, and said, "These two are very high-profile, and they often accompany people in and out, so it shouldn't be difficult to ask." ”
Tom Hardy tapped him on the shoulder: "Go ahead, ask carefully." ”
Rogers smiled and said, "Tip a little, the doorman in the lobby will say anything." ”
Tom Hardy nodded: "Don't be noticeable. ”
Rogers left the room, went downstairs and had a chat with the doorman, quietly handed over a few euros, and quickly asked a lot of questions.
He was afraid that the doorman would not tell the truth, so he inquired with the other two lobby waiters before returning upstairs.
"Boss, basically ask clearly." Rogers entered Tom Hardy's room, closed the door and said: "Leonardo and Nicholson stayed in the hotel a day earlier than the crew, they had a few contacts with the newly divorced Russian supermodel Natalia Vodinova, and they also had a long chat in the lobby lounge this afternoon. ”
Tom Hardy knew that the supermodel had previously married into an old British aristocratic family and later divorced.
He pondered and said, "Not quite right, Natalia is 27 years old and not in Leonardo's hunting range. ”
Rogers reminded, "Didn't you say they were going to organize a big party? Natalia has a lot of influence in Russia and Ukraine, as well as in the entire region of the former Soviet Union, will Leonardo invite people through her? After all, the quality of young female models in Eastern Europe is not generally high. ”
Tom Hardy thinks it's very likely that he's also attended some big parties in the entertainment industry, many of which were done through a well-connected middleman.
For example, the famous Huppert makeup party in the Paris entertainment industry was organized by Huppert with his own fame.
Tom Hardy asked, "Any idea who attended?" ”
"Didn't ask." Rogers whispered, "They only saw Leonardo in contact with Natalia, no one else. ”
Tom Hardy can judge: "The bastard trio is definitely going to organize a party, but they don't know when or where. ”
Rogers continued, "They didn't invite us to participate, what a bunch of bastards!" ”
Tom Hardy scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "You go down again, tip more, let the doormen pay attention, and if Martin, Leonardo, and Nicholson go out together, notify us immediately." ”
Rogers said, "Boss, you don't want to make trouble, do you?" He reminded: "I heard that Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck were trying to Martin and are now in hospital. ”
Tom Hardy was upset: "When did you become so timid?" ”
"Hollywood selectively forgets these people, but I've seen Ben Affleck's report in the corner of the newspaper." Don't blame Rogers for being timid: "Ben Affleck came out of prison for temporary medical treatment, and he saw a proctology department!" ”
Hearing this, Tom Hardy's legs tightened inexplicably, but he was still a little confident, mainly because he didn't plan to overdo it, and said: "We don't do risky things, we just find out when and where they meet, and then call the media." ”
Rogers' heart was put back in his stomach.
Tom Hardy added: "The paparazzi have always been crazy, and I heard that a group of them are messing around, if you are brave enough to run in and shoot it, it must be exciting." ”
"Boss, it's really yours!" Rogers settled down and walked out of the room and downstairs.
Tom Hardy came to the window and looked out at the brightly lit Paris, and finally felt a little more relaxed.
He pondered it, and the next morning asked Rogers to rent a car and buy a new mobile phone, which he could throw away when he called.
The crew was still in Paris for various promotional events, with Martin, Nolan and Mene being the busiest, with at least two announcements a day.
From the interview with Le Figaro to the ace program of France One, they can be seen.
"Inception" was already a big hit in North America, and there were many French elements, coupled with the appeal of Martin and Nolan, the film received $8.89 million at the box office in its first weekend of release in France.
In the UK market, across the channel, the film also had a good start, earning $9.66 million in its opening weekend.
"Inception", which was mainly opened in Europe and Latin America, earned $62.2 million in its first week overseas.
In North America, the film was unusually stable due to good word-of-mouth, falling only 39% the following weekend, collecting another $45.92 million.
Counting the harvest of the previous four days, the North American box office has exceeded $150 million!
"The reputation is good, the box office is high, and there are not many people who can do it."
In the hotel room, Nicholson put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Martin, "You bastard, you have both." ”
Martin said happily: "Do you know what vision is? That's the vision! ”
Leonardo was dismissive and said, "Since you have vision, let me ask you, when will I get the best actor?" ”
Nicholson answered, "Wait another ten years!" ”
"Maybe there's a chance this year." Martin had just given Natalie Portman a bad idea the other day, and when he faced his old buddy Leonardo, inspiration gushed out.
He first analyzed it seriously: "You see, Harvey Weinstein was put down by us, although the trial has not started yet, but it will be at least ten years in prison, and now the awards season is equivalent to vacating a large piece of resources, if you start quickly, maybe you can really grab an Oscar." ”
Nicholson nodded slightly: "You have some truth in what you say. ”
Martin carefully recalled, who was the same actor as Natalie Portman? I really can't remember, in my previous life, it seems that in the first few years after 2010, Harvey broke out in the last wave, and he didn't want to do Oscar, and the ferocious public relations also led to disgust.
Now that Harvey is gone, the movies and people he pushed for have become unknown.
Hearing the two die-hard friends say this, Leonardo's confidence suddenly appeared: "My performance in "Shutter Island" is very good, and the film has a good reputation, I have been in the Olympics for ten years, and the academy should consider me, right?" ”
"It's hard to say," Nicholson said. ”
"In recent years, the situation of the Oscars has become more and more obvious, and it is difficult to win awards just by relying on roles and normal publicity and public relations." After analyzing it, Martin began to run the train with his mouth full: "Leo, you angered the old men back then, you must show an attitude to prove that the prodigal son will not change his money!" ”
Leonardo frowned: "My ten years are not enough? ”
Martin said: "I have a way, if you do what I say, there is a 90 percent chance of winning Best Actor next year!" ”
Leonardo felt that Martin must have had a bad idea, but after many years of no gain, Martin, the bastard, won the Oscar before him, and he couldn't help but ask: "What good ideas do you have?" ”
Martin said seriously: "It's very easy to prove to all the Oscar judges that Leonardo's prodigal son is back, and you get married at the beginning of the awards season can definitely change the judges' opinion of you, and prove that Leonardo has matured and is no longer the unruly yellow-haired boy." ”
