Chapter 319 The Movie of the Fastest Conferred God
Americans are a nation that loves to watch movies, so the United States has large and small film critic associations, film journals, and of course many film websites.But among all the movie websites, American audiences, film critics and American film industry practitioners only recognize IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and Yahoo Entertainment Channel. IMDB is the stronghold of the academic school; Yahoo! Entertainment Channel is the base of the entertainment school; and Rotten Tomatoes is a film review website that combines IMDB and Yahoo Entertainment Channel, as well as social media attributes.
However, most people still believe that Yahoo Entertainment Channel represents the tastes of the American middle class. This group of people not only takes care of the box office, but also guarantees word-of-mouth; while Rotten Tomatoes is the world of young people. What this group of viewers love is only big scenes, Although a big production may have a big box office, word of mouth often runs counter to the mainstream; but it is undeniable that IMDB is the most objective movie data site recognized by the entire American film industry, film critics and audiences.
Some professors of American film art once jokingly said, "If IMDB gives you 4 points, then congratulations, your movie can at least be officially released in the United States, and maybe there will be TV networks buying TV broadcasting rights in the future, and it is estimated that DVDs can also be sold. Well done; if IMDB gives you a 5, your film will last at least two weeks in theaters, and maybe a few critics; Even if you pass the test, the budget of your next film will definitely increase greatly; 6 points is an epic blockbuster; 7 points is a hall-level blockbuster... If you can break through 8 points, then your film is enough to be recorded and praised by film history One hundred years, and you will become a master director in Hollywood."
No one thinks the professor's words are too much. You must know that before the official release of "Inception", there were only 50 films in Hollywood with a score of 8.5 or more; among them, only three films scored more than 9 points.These include Jed Sherman's "The Shawshank Redemption" (9.2 points) and Francis Coppola's "The Godfather" (9.2 points) and "The Godfather 2" (9.0 points).Why is Coppola the most important member of the Directors Guild of America despite making few films?Think about his achievements in the "Godfather" series and "Apocalypse Now", as well as his 43 international film award trophies.
Similarly, why is Spielberg so sensitive about Jed's withdrawal from the directors' union?It is understandable when you think about it, but it has shot the work with the highest score on IMDB.Of course, Nolan also succeeded in becoming a god with "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" (8.9 points), but he always felt that the success of the "Batman series" was a bit too clever, so he placed even greater expectations on "Inception". expectations.
Seeing Nolan's worried expression in the MGM Grand Theater in Los Angeles, Jed shook his head amusedly.Los Angeles is Jade's base camp, so Jade has invested in many independent theaters.It is true that American theater chains are extremely developed, but many cities in the United States still retain many distinctive independent theaters.These independent theaters attract people either with their unique taste or with their profound history.This is the case with the Chinese Theater and Sherman Theater (formerly Kodak Theater) invested by Jade. The history of these two theaters in Hollywood is well known to everyone, and they have become the preferred venues for film awards and premieres.
In addition, Jade also invested in the construction of the MGM Grand Theater near Beverly Hills to reproduce the luxury style of the golden age of Hollywood in the 40s, and built a low-key and restrained modern theater in Orange County. Galaxy Cinemas.Since the producer of "Inception" is MGM Films, the premiere of the film was also arranged at the MGM Grand Theater.Beverly Hills is home to countless Los Angeles celebrities, and the retro luxury of the MGM Grand Theater is what they love.Therefore, whenever there is a movie premiere at the MGM Grand Theater, countless celebrities will take the initiative to attend, and the premiere is naturally star-studded.
Although the MGM Grand Theater is a retro theater, the interior decoration still borrows from the design of multiplex theaters such as AMC. Except for the main hall Meyer Screening Hall, which completely retains the decoration style of American golden age movie theaters, the rest of the movie halls are mostly in accordance with modern Designed in cinema style.In order to commemorate the most important leader of MGM - Louis Mayer, the premiere ceremony undertaken by the Mayer Screening Hall must be the annual masterpiece of MGM Films.The reporters, film critics and stars who were invited are of course very familiar with the legend of the Mayer Hall. In order to pay tribute to this important filmmaker, all those who attended the premiere were all dressed up.But Jed doesn't think that these vicious journalists and film critics will transfer their respect for Mayer to Nolan. If "Inception" is not exciting enough, it is estimated that these people will send Nolan from the altar to the trash .
Fortunately, "Inception" is a very exciting movie, and the production cost of 1.6 million US dollars ensures that the two-and-a-half-hour movie is attractive enough.First of all, the gimmick about human sharing and exploring dreams has excited many reporters and film critics. In the movie, human beings have been able to explore the universe tens of millions of light-years away, and they can also go deep into the core of the earth to save the earth.However, few people pay attention to the most common thing in human beings—dreams.In particular, Nolan pointed out in the movie that it is possible to enter the deepest dream of human beings and then implant a simple subconscious mind.In the future, this subconscious will dominate this person's thoughts and interfere with his choices at some critical moments.
This theory sounds a bit miraculous at first, but in the movie "Inception", all audiences found that it seems to be completely feasible technically.Although dream stealers will pay a heavy price for this, once they think that their thoughts may be controlled by others, this makes Americans who advocate "freedom" feel shuddering.Especially seeing the Dream Stealer headed by Leonardo descending into the most private consciousness space of human beings layer by layer, this kind of adventure and excitement also greatly increased the adrenaline of movie fans.At the same time, the various plots of fighting wits and courage in the dream are also designed with ups and downs. The practice of changing one layer of dreamland for another scene makes the audience feel empathetic and feel that they have entered a deep enough consciousness space.Especially in the end, everyone fell into the chaotic zone, but the plot of surviving the catastrophe still made many people satisfied.But the spinning top that didn't stop at the end of the film seems to be implying something...
With the end of the first screening, there were many discussions about "Inception" on the Internet.Undoubtedly, this well-crafted big-scene movie has satisfied countless fans.A film full of various commercial elements and mainstream social values has naturally been recognized by the most mainstream audiences, and journalists and film critics who attended the premiere also shared their "export impressions" on major websites.Although there may be some discrepancies between these "export impressions" and their final draft, they basically represent their likes and dislikes about the movie.What inspired Jed and Nolan was that 70% of professional moviegoers rated the film as "exceeding expectations", while 25% of the audience rated it "fully met expectations", and the remaining 5% rated the film as "exceeding expectations". Although the audience was a little picky, they still gave the evaluation of "basically meeting expectations".Jed no longer has to think about how to do the next publicity, because the film critics will praise the film's reputation, and what he has to do is to expand the scale of the release.
Jade has already planned to release it in theaters in the UK and Western Europe next Monday; it will expand to Eastern Europe next Wednesday; it will be in the Middle East and North Africa next Thursday; Simultaneous release.Soon, according to the statistics of the North American box office on the weekend of the premiere, "Inception" lived up to expectations with a box office of 6300 million US dollars, and the average box office was as high as 1.7 US dollars; and in the second week, although "Inception" Inception's box office performance fell by 30%, but it was still within an acceptable range. Therefore, "Inception" once again topped the weekend box office chart with a box office of 4300 million US dollars, defeating Sony Columbia and Angelina Jolie. even in its third week, with $2800 million, "Inception" beat Paramount Pictures' comedy "Dinner for Fools" to its third top spot at the box office .It wasn't until the fourth week that "Inception" was knocked out of the championship by Sony Columbia's action comedy "Secondary Cop" who was not reconciled to failure.
But at this time, the total North American box office of "Inception" has reached 2.3 million US dollars. At the same time, the IMDB score was as high as 9.1 points, squeezing out "The Godfather 2" and approaching "The Godfather 1" and "Shawshank's Redemption".Of course, as the release time of "Inception" goes away, the score of "Inception" will decline, but analysts pointed out that the worst score of this movie should be above 8.5, and it is very likely that it will be on the IMDBT OP250, which is known as the god list. Top 20 on the list.Both Jed and Nolan are very confident about this.Although "Inception" has ended its championship journey in North America, in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Far East, "Inception" is still in the form of a dusty search for a lot of box office.Especially in the emerging regions of the Far East, with the popularity of IMAX theaters, IMAX3D contributed a lot of box office to "Inception", which made AMC Wanda Cinemas even more happy to increase the construction of IMAX screening halls.
"Boss, I've completed the tasks for the summer file, and it's up to you for the Christmas file." Nolan joked about Jed at the celebration banquet.
Because Jed will launch his seventh Harry Potter movie in the second half of the year, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part [-]".Although some readers think that the film is divided into two parts to "cheat money", Jed believes that since it is the end, it cannot be ended in a vague way, and there are many contents that must be explained clearly.For example, Dumbledore's initial impression of Harry; Snape's transformation and so on.Because Aunt Rowling cheated many readers in the original book, Jed had to round up these points in the movie version.
Of course, at the same time, Jed was also discussing the production of the official documentary "When Harry Left Hogwarts" with the company's documentary department.This is actually a project that was established in the early stages of filming, so there are more materials available to use than the original version.The documentary is expected to be edited into three episodes, which will be broadcast on Jade's Art and Entertainment Channel.The first two episodes will air two weeks before the official release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part [-]", while the third episode will be released simultaneously with the film.The reason for this arrangement is because there will be some plots in the movie in the third episode, and it would not be beautiful if the spoilers are revealed.At the same time, Jade intends to use this documentary as an exclusive gift of the final deluxe Blu-ray gift box, so as to once again rob fans' wallets.
The author has something to say: "When Harry Left Hogwarts" is a good documentary, HP fans should like it.
Uh, sure enough, a fan of TFB sent me a private message on Weibo, and of course the tone was very friendly.
Again, let me explain a few points.
First, I don't mean to look down on TFB.There is a reason for anyone to become famous and gain a foothold in the entertainment circle. I just joked that TFB's fame seems a bit sudden compared to others.
Second, I didn't say what happened to the group of Clover fans. I just talked about the extreme performance of some fans at the CJ scene. The performance of some fans really shamed your idols.At that time, I heard Fan Game's marketing manager say that the chaos at the scene not only alarmed the organizers of CJ, but also alarmed the police.You know, the police are very worried about mass incidents.If you can't abide by the rules in public places, the police have the right to dismiss your activities.I think you don't want to lose the opportunity to get in touch with your idols, right?Therefore, it is necessary to calm down a little during the fan meeting.And then some fans attacked Qifan Games on social media, which is very unwise.They are your idol's sponsors, so it helps your idol to be nice to them.After all, TFB is not as popular as a sky group. If you offend a sponsor, it will not be worth the loss if you lose your reputation in the circle in the future.
Finally, let’s talk about the night show door. It’s not as unbearable as everyone imagined, but the scale is indeed very OVER.
Being photographed was actually done by the people at the scene, and the person involved knew about it, and even made a fuss about making headlines.
So it spread a lot in the circle, and it really hit the headlines of Tencent Games.
Then when it got too big, I started to withdraw the manuscript.
PS: Many of my acquaintances are at that PARTY, there should be some of them, but there is really no such thing as OOXX.
Finally, I would like to add a PS, the current Showgirls all have managers, hidden rules and so on, which are still far away from people of my level.
