"Inception" is Target Entertainment and the first time Yuehua Media has tried a big production.

The production cost is as high as US$160 million!

If this fails, it is equivalent to announcing the failure of Dingfeng Entertainment. From now on, go back and continue to tinker with small and medium-sized productions!

Why did DreamWorks become the sixth thorn in Hollywood's side?

It's because it can shoot big productions!

It can be said that the success or failure of "Inception" is related to its development prospects after its peak.

Moreover, this drama was decided directly by Zhang Junsheng, rather than by the peak green light system...

Generally speaking, large Hollywood film companies, including many small and medium-sized film companies composed of shareholders, have strict project approval and review systems. The project preparation of a movie is never used to bring scripts to the CEO or other executives. Those who think the script is good can directly make the decision.

Once "Inception" fails, it will greatly affect Zhang Junsheng's position at the top later!

...

The schedule chosen by "Inception" is particularly suitable. This weekend, there are no other major production films that will be opened except "Inception". There are no previous films that threaten "Inception".

As for "Kung Fu Panda 2", it is an anime movie that focuses on family fun, and the target audience is inconsistent!

This is also the main reason why Tingfeng promised "Kung Fu Panda 2" to be released before "Inception"!

This summer, Disney is definitely a mixed bag...

"Toy Story 3" and "Kung Fu Panda 2" all sold well at the box office, making them all show their popularity. However, "Alien Battlefield" released two weeks ago is definitely a typical example of a low opening and low closing. Half a month after its release, the North American box office has just exceeded 30 million US dollars. In the cliff-like continuous decline, the North American box office exceeding 50 million US dollars has become a luxury.

"Alien Battlefield" is a super big production with an investment of more than $250 million, plus promotion and expenditure of nearly $400 million!

Not weaker than "Avatar"...

Then the box office lost a lot!

The local box office in North America failed, and the overseas box office was also bleak...

Taylor Ketch is definitely a talent!

He starred in all three movies that lost a lot this year!

"Alien Battlefield", "Super Battleship", "Barbaric"…

Is it a movie that leads to a bad actor, or is it a bad actor that leads to a bad movie?

He starred in two heavyweight blockbusters "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield", but he also suffered a box office successive Waterloo, causing Taylor Ketch to fall from the clouds to hell, and his whole body is still "seriously injured" and has not healed...

"Kung Fu Dream" released the previous weekend had a very good box office in the first week. It remakes "Karate Boy", which was very popular decades ago. It belongs to many Americans' sentimental movies, and it is not surprising that the box office is high.

In addition, Shi Huang is at the peak, so it is normal for Americans to buy it!

But no one thinks that entering the second week of the screening will threaten Inception.

As a mainstream commercial film in Hollywood, "Inception" can be regarded as a giant from production to promotion to distribution.

In North America alone, the promotional investment of "Inception" is as high as US$50 million!

In addition, the global paintings were launched at the same time, and the investment in publicity was at least as high as 100 million!

Rely on reputation to win?

Don’t joke, this is the summer season, and next week, "Agent Sauter" and "Sex and the City 2" will be released!

...

The story of "Inception" is actually very simple, which fits the basic framework of Hollywood blockbusters: the male protagonist took a very difficult task for a certain goal, and convened a team with distinct personalities in the process, and finally overcame huge difficulties and finally completed the task, and overcame a story about his long-term inner demon.

Every series of "Fast and Furious" is basically like this routine!

The difference is Nolan’s way of telling it!

Nolan carefully demonstrated how to enter dreams, problems that may arise in dreams, how to wake up, etc., so that the dreams can completely form a complete world with its own unique laws, laws and logic.

This is called the construction of a science fiction world!

Then, with some puzzles and excellent visual effects, the whole film looks particularly charming.

The framework of the big world is to explain the profession of Dream Infernalers.

The so-called dream invader is to enter a person's subconscious through dreams and steal important information from his dreams.

Implanting ideas is to enter a person's subconscious through dreams, build a reasonable plot, and let him naturally accept a certain idea, thereby affecting his actions in his real life.

"Inception" is not intended to test the audience's IQ, so the plot is complicated but not intentional. Everything is needed for this shocking content.

It seems complicated, but without a single extra shot or a redundant line, missing a shot or missing a conversation will make the movie incomplete.

The plot is also quite clear, because the whole story has a very obvious main line - that is, the dream intruders Cobb and Arthur, who were entrusted by the Chinese giant businessman Chen Daoming, invaded the consciousness of Fisher, the son of Fisher, the son of the British giant businessman, the British giant businessman, and made him automatically disband his father's company after the death of Fisher.

This process is completed with a layered dream.

Every level of dreams is a visual wonder!

For example, space is reversed and people are resurrected...

All this seems impossible to happen in live-action movies, because live-action movies portray human dreams in extremely limited ways. What is amazing about "Inception" is that the dreams described can do whatever they want and subvert the recognized physical laws of mankind at will.

Of course, the final outcome was that the Inception group succeeded.

To be honest, this ending subverts the consistent values ​​of American films, and to confess that all wars are for the sake of interests.

From the first level, it did not follow Hollywood's film tradition of punishing evil and promoting good, but emphasized the social rules of interest supremacy. The Dream Inception Group helped one consortium destroy another because of its interests, and did not consider whether this move was just. On the surface, Fisher Little was defeated;

But from a deeper level, that is, the second level, it has a great Zen spirit. Fisher Little seems to be beaten back to his father's state of starting from scratch. In fact, this is the realm of a top rich man that the movie wants to express. After death, you don't leave a dime for your descendants, and only leave your own pioneering spirit. The spirit is a priceless treasure.

As for the spinning top at the end of the movie, it was probably because Nolan didn't think about whether to give Little Lizi a happy ending...

In other words, according to Nolan's usual idea, love is more of a kind of incompleteness or regret, but in order to consider the market...

Just neutralize and let the audience guess Jiba!

...

At the Hollywood Chinese Theater, when the film was subtitled, extremely warm applause rang out.

Zhang Junsheng also stood up and applauded warmly!

"Inception" is really an excellent movie.

At the same time, he turned his head slightly and looked back. The applause from the ordinary audience in the back row was particularly loud, and it continued for several minutes without a stop.

He glanced at Wen Ziren, and the latter also smiled...

Stay stable!

If ordinary audiences are satisfied, it means that this movie is likely to be a big hit!

This is true. Inception won a box office of $28 million on the first day. Then, based on the premiere audience satisfaction provided by the top side, the average score of "Inception" is as high as 9.2 points...

In addition, both professional media and always picky film critics are willing to give praise and unanimous praise. IMDb even directly gave a score of 9.0!

Rotten Tomato Index: 86%…

The popcorn index is as high as 87%;

Of course, for a large commercial production, rating is not the most critical, the most critical thing is the box office results.
Chapter completed!
