"Hey, Daniel, Inception is so hot right now, it's crazy."

"This year's global film market is also too enthusiastic!"

Rickon, the head of the global publisher, said to Wu Yuan with a sigh.

At this time, they were sitting in the nanny car on the way to the TV station.

Recently, the global film market has been really hot.

As of August 6, the North American box office has exceeded $200 million, and the global box office has exceeded $500 million.

Although "Avatar" has raised the global box office, after "Avatar", the global box office breaking $500 million is still an unattainable figure.

At least Nolan has finished surpassing himself.

Xiao Lizi has also succeeded again, and the handsome face that is no longer handsome ten years ago has still conquered audiences around the world with his superb acting skills and excellent movie stories.

Hailed as perhaps the most complex film in the history of cinema, "Inception" is still very impressive at the box office, which shows that despite its complexity, fans highly respect it.

And it's a rare original sci-fi movie.

Although this movie has nothing to do with Universal, the success of "Inception" has also brought a lot of confidence to Universal.

Nolan is inferior to Wu Yuan in terms of fame and status, his original sci-fi movies have been successful, there is no reason that the technology used in "Inception" is more advanced, and "Interstellar", which has an equally complex story, will fail!

This shot of strength has greatly boosted Universal and Paramount.

"Now the outside forecasting agencies have comprehensively raised their box office predictions for "Interstellar"."

"As an original sci-fi movie with the same theme, after seeing the success of "Inception", many media in the outside world generally believe that the global box office of "Interstellar" may exceed one billion dollars and become another masterpiece of yours."

"After all, now that the global box office forecast for Inception has been raised to $800 million, there's no reason you'd be worse than Nolan."

"Well, but the actor of "Inception" is Leonardo, who is popular all over the world, and we are indeed inferior in this regard, which is still risky."

Well, Mads Mikkelsen is disliked again.

It's good that he was in the car behind, otherwise he would have been even more autistic when he heard this.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to Wu Yuan, covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Hey, Rickon, I won't allow you to say that about my actors." Wu Yuan scolded with a smile: "Mads is a good actor, not much worse than Leonardo, he just lacks an opportunity to be seen by a global audience." ”

"Believe me, after this "Interstellar", he will be remembered by the global audience."

Listening to them complain about Mads's low reputation every day, Wu Yuan will be a little emotional when he listens to it too much, after all, this is his appointed actor, and he keeps talking about Mads, isn't it just that he didn't choose the casting well.

"Of course, we have a lot of confidence in you." Rickon hurriedly said: "You can't be wrong with your casting eye, in fact, Mads's performance in the finished film is really impeccable." ”

"Oh, the TV station is here, it's time for us to get to work."

Although there is still half a month before the premiere of "Interstellar", the relevant advance publicity has already begun.

Starting today, the crew of "Interstellar" will frequently promote this drama on some TV shows in North America and Europe in the next half month.

And just when Wu Yuan began to be busy with publicity, the North American film market was also surging.

"Inception" swept the global film market and conquered overseas cities, but the popularity of its release in North America has gradually begun to extinguish, and the market has begun to enter a period of depression.

On July 23, "Agent Sauter" starring Angelina Jolie, known as the "Hollywood sexy goddess" and rated as the sexiest female star in film history, was officially released on a large scale in North America.

The long-awaited heroine blockbuster by Columbia grossed just $36.5 million in its opening weekend, relegating to second place after last week's winner, "Inception."

Although the Colombian company said that the result was close to the expected value of $40 million, it was clearly not ideal.

"Agent Sauter" earned Angelina Jolie $20 million, but it was the lowest-grossing first-weekend of any film she's starred in in recent years.

Prior to that, she starred in "Wanted" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" both grossed $50 million in their opening weekends.

Another new film, "Ramona and Sister", although it was under the banner of the favorite genre film of summer teenagers, ended hastily with a box office income of less than 10 million.

If you put aside the movie "Inception", this summer season in North America can be described as extremely depressed.

Even with the addition of "Inception", the top 12 box office this week continued to decline due to the lack of fresh blood injection, continuing to shrink by 8.5% compared with last week, and finally closed at $157 million.

The good box office brought by "Inception" cannot support the market of the entire summer file.

Obviously, this year's summer file is still waiting for a movie that can really save this depression.

In the media's prediction, this movie is, of course, "Interstellar" directed by Wu Yuan.

As for "The Expendables", which has Li Lianjie joining and is known as bringing together the strongest team of tough guys in history?

The first-week box office expectation of this movie, the media generally only gave 30 million US dollars, which is not as high as the first-week box office of "Inception".

Obviously, the media is not optimistic about this Sylvester Stallone's fried cold rice.

However, at the moment when the aftermath of "Inception" is still there, and "Agent Sauter" is newly released, "Interstellar", which will be fully released next week, is also under a lot of pressure.

At this time when there is pressure and at the same time, the United States is looking forward to it, the premiere of "Interstellar" in North America has touched the hearts of thousands of fans and industry insiders who pay attention to the movie.

On August 9th, a sunny and cloudless day, the premiere of "Interstellar" in Los Angeles officially kicked off.

With Universal and Paramount's connections, coupled with Wu Yuan's own circle of friends in Hollywood, the premiere of "Interstellar" attracted almost half of Hollywood's well-known actors and producers to attend.

Everyone is full of curiosity and anticipation for this billed second real IMAX 3D movie.

Can Cameron's miracle be replicated?

Can IMAX 3D movies really be the password to wealth?

Is the content of "Interstellar" worthy of the title of "the most tough sci-fi movie of the year" and "original sci-fi masterpiece" rendered during its promotional period?

Can Wu Yuan, a Chinese director who mixes in Hollywood, continue his success?

All this, at today's premiere, may be able to find the answer. (End of chapter)
