Entertainment: Taking her daughter out of the house, it is popular on the Internet

Chapter 324 Overseas premiere, box office in the first week (seeking subscription)
Gu Chenfeng was very happy that "Inception" had an overwhelming domestic reputation.

At nine o'clock in the evening, he and Reba came to the Disney theater early, and together with the other main creators of "Inception", greeted the big Hollywood stars who came to the premiere.

What Gu Chenfeng didn't expect was that Nolan, the director of "Inception" on Earth, was the first to walk on the red carpet.

And after Gu Chenfeng's "Operation Blade Red Sea" became popular, Nolan sent someone to invite Gu Chenfeng to join his new movie, but unfortunately he was rejected.

The reporters also knew about this, so everyone wanted to see if there would be any surprises when the two met together, so they immediately pointed the camera at the two.

Gu Chenfeng didn't wait for Nolan to finish walking the red carpet, he had already greeted him, stretched out his hand, and said hello in fluent English: "Mr. Nolan, thank you very much for coming to participate in "Inception" in your busy schedule. " premiere."

Although Gu Chenfeng knew that Nolan was able to attend the premiere because of Disney, not because of him.

After all, he doesn't have much influence in Hollywood at the moment, and these Hollywood big shots came to this premiere to save face for Disney.

But at any rate, this movie is also starring him and the screenwriter is himself. When people come to the premiere, Gu Chenfeng will naturally greet them with a smile. This is the most basic etiquette, not that Gu Chenfeng wants to curry favor with anyone.

For this very powerful director in Hollywood, Gu Chenfeng is also full of respect, not only because he has shot many classic movies, but also because he usually donates his salary.

Nolan himself lives a very simple life, which Gu Chenfeng thinks is admirable.

Nolan didn't feel any unhappy because Gu Chenfeng rejected his invitation at the beginning, instead he smiled and shook Gu Chenfeng's hand, saying: "Mr. Gu's "Zootopia" is really good. , Even in Hollywood, there are very few people who can produce such an animated film, I believe Mr. Gu's film must be very exciting."

Gu Chenfeng said: "Mr. Noke, you are a very respectable director. Your achievements in movies are beyond the reach of countless people. I hope this movie will not disappoint you."

Noke laughed loudly and said: "Okay, in fact, I wanted you to join my movie because of your confidence and persistence in the movie. When I first saw "Zootopia", I already I guessed that you would definitely enter the world film market, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, so here you are."

"Actually, I have always hoped to see films from Huaguo join the world stage, so that the world's film market will become more and more diverse, and I can feel that the film industry is making progress."

"If "Inception" is really good, I would like to promote it for you on my Twitter."

Gu Chenfeng said happily: "Mr. Noke, thank you very much, your mind is very admirable."

"···"

Seeing Gu Chenfeng and Nolan standing there talking and laughing, disappointed the reporters who were expecting a conflict.

What they hoped most was that the two of them could argue and create a hot topic, only then would they agree with the interests of the media reporters.

It's a pity that the two didn't give them such an opportunity.

When Zhang Qingqing saw that Gu Chenfeng and the international director Noke were able to talk without being humble, she was both pleasantly surprised and surprised.

Because the previous Gu Chenfeng was in China and basically didn't deal with other filmmakers very much, Zhang Qingqing even wondered if Gu Chenfeng had social phobia.

But now it seems that there is no such thing as Gu Chenfeng, even if it is other big directors in China, there are not many other big directors in China who can do it.

However, Zhang Qingqing also felt more and more that she should study foreign languages ​​hard, because she didn't understand what Gu Chenfeng and Noke were saying at all, but saw that they were talking happily.

After Gu Chenfeng chatted with Noke for 5 minutes, Gu Chenfeng left.

As soon as I walked out of the theater, I saw Spielberg coming out of the car.

In the next two hours, Gu Chenfeng, Reba and others stood at the door to welcome more than 100 Hollywood celebrities.

It can be seen that although Disney ranks at the bottom among the six Hollywood giants, the company's influence is still very terrifying, otherwise it would not be possible to find so many Hollywood big shots as the platform for "Inception".

This made Reba, who had never seen much of the world, very excited. Usually, she could only see these Hollywood legends on TV or in movies. Who would have thought that one day she would chat and laugh with them?
And all of this was brought to her by Gu Chenfeng, so Reba is very grateful to Gu Chenfeng.

It can be said that without Gu Chenfeng, Reba would definitely not be able to bring his own movie to the international stage so quickly, maybe he is still filming TV dramas in China now.

However, since she got to know Gu Chenfeng, she has been invited to participate in several films in a row, making Reba, a goddess who was originally active in the TV drama field, become a domestic actress with a box office of tens of billions.

If "Inception" is successful, then Reba will become an international actress, and her social status will be greatly improved by then.

···
At zero o'clock, "Inception" was released in Lighthouse Country.

The unique setting, meticulous logic, brain-burning plot, awesome visual effects, and the wonderful performances of the actors gave the audience a strong shock.

The overseas version of "Inception" is similar to the domestic version, and there are no major changes, but some details and lines are slightly different, mainly for the convenience of Western audiences to understand the plot.

In the movie theater where Gu Chenfeng and others are located, since the broadcast of "Inception", everyone has locked their eyes firmly on the screen. Except for the exclamation every time they reach the highlights, they can almost It can be said that it is a needle drop.

Reba looked back at everyone's reactions several times, and found that no one was sleeping, and no one left to go to the bathroom, which reassured her a lot.

After the film ended, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium, which lasted for 2 minutes before stopping.

There is a customary rule in Hollywood. If the movie is not good, everyone will clap and applaud because of the face of the director or actors, but it will only last for five or six seconds at most.

Only such an excellent movie as "Inception" will everyone give such a long and warm applause.

When Gu Chenfeng led the crew to bow to thank everyone, Nolan suddenly asked: "Mr. Gu, I want to know whether the ending of the story is in a dream or in reality?"

Gu Chenfeng spread his hands and said with a smile: "Director Noke, the biggest advantage of an open ending is that you can imagine it. If you want it to be in reality, then he is in reality. If you want it to be in a dream , then it is in the dream.”

"So, I want to ask you, which ending do you think is better?"

Nolan thought for a while, and said, "If I choose, I might let you be in the dream."

Gu Chenfeng said with a smile: "Then he is in a dream."

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter after hearing the conversation between the two.

After leaving the theater, Nolan was surrounded by more than 20 reporters, and even other Hollywood superstars were not surrounded by so many people.

No way, the legendary director's reputation is too great, and he asked his assistant to invite Gu Chenfeng to join him, but he was rejected, so the reporters wanted to find out more about Nolan up.

"Mr. Nolan, what do you think of the movie "Inception". If the full score is [-], how much score would you give this movie?"

Nolan sighed: "There is a saying in Huaguo, that is, the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than the previous generation. I am not a person who likes to compliment others, but I have to admit that the filming of "Inception" is really wonderful. Not one of the best sci-fi films I've seen in years."

"If the perfect score is 9.8, I will give this movie a [-], because I ask myself, I can't think of such a good idea, and I can't make such a movie."

"Mr. Nolan, you're saying this movie is better than the ones you made, aren't you?"

Nolan said with a smile: "At least I think so. In my opinion, the strongest part of "Inception" is not only the amazing special effects, but more importantly, the amazing plot, especially Mr. Gu's interpretation of dreams." The setting is even more astonishing to me.”

The reporters were extremely surprised when they heard Nolan's words. They didn't expect him to give this movie such a high evaluation.

Not only Nolan, but other Hollywood big shots also gave "Inception" a very high evaluation.

Spielberg said: ""Inception" made me feel extremely amazing. Mr. Gu's imagination is too rich. I dare say that next year's Oscar for Best Screenplay will definitely have Mr. Gu. I very much hope that there will be one. I have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Gu, if Mr. Gu can write a script for me, that would be even better."

Director Li Lan said: "If Gu Chenfeng's "Zootopia" was the best animated movie I've ever seen, then this "Inception" is the best sci-fi movie I've ever seen, bar none .”

"I think "Inception" has a very high possibility of reaching a higher position in the global box office rankings, which will once again break the ranking of our Huaguo movies on the list."

···
These big names in Hollywood gave "Inception" a high evaluation, thinking that it is qualified to hit the top ten of the global box office list, especially Nock's certification, which made "Inception" popular in Europe and the United States .

After all, Nolan's global appeal and influence are very powerful, and movie fans also know his character. If the movie is not good, even if he is given more money, he will not mention the movie. It is impossible to praise a good word.

But Nolan actually praised "Inception" so much this time. There is only one possibility, and that is that this movie is really good-looking and exciting.

Soon, Rotten Tomatoes gave out reviews from fans. A total of more than 11 people rated it, and the freshness reached 8000%. This is definitely the movie with the highest rating in the past three years.

"My God, what's going on, this Gu from Huaguo is too powerful!"

"The plot of "Inception" is too brain-intensive, but I like it very much."

"I think "Inception" is not only a good plot, but also a great special effects picture, especially the scene where the street is curly is simply too handsome."

"I just want to know who the second male actor is. Although he is not handsome, he is really good at kung fu!"

"I think the heroine is the most flavorful. Although she doesn't look amazing, her temperament is really good."

"I especially like that the movie has an open ending. Is the protagonist in a dream or in reality? It all depends on our own imagination."

"I gave "Inception" a [-]% freshness. No matter how you look at it, I think it is the best sci-fi movie I have ever seen, almost none of them."

"No wonder Gu Gan said to use "Inception" to announce the arrival of Huaguo movies to fans all over the world. This movie really has this strength."

"To enter other people's dreams to steal secrets, and even implant a piece of consciousness into other people's dreams, this brain hole is simply too cool."

"···"

At the same time, the overseas Rotten Tomatoes score of Chen Gang's "Chi You God of War" was also released.

Since his global distributor did not hold the premiere, the popularity is definitely not as high as Gu Chenfeng's "Inception", but the ratings are not bad, with a freshness rating of 91%.

When everyone saw the rating, they were all a little surprised. Originally, overseas audiences thought that there was only one Huaguo movie, Gu Chenfeng, released globally, but they didn't expect that there were actually two this time.

More importantly, these two Huaguo movies have gained a very good reputation, which is what surprised many people.

Soon, the global first-day box office of "Inception" came out, reaching 2.88 million US dollars, ranking first.

And the second place is Chen Gang's "Chi You God of War", which earned 1 million US dollars in pre-sale box office worldwide. Although this result is very good, it is still 1.88 million US dollars behind "Inception".

After seeing this result, Chen Gang and Warner Company were very helpless.

They were very confident in this movie, that's why they dared to release it at the same time as Gu Chenfeng's "Inception", but who knew that Gu Chenfeng had no way to fight back after this release.

This made both Warner Bros. executives and Chen Gang extremely depressed.

Gu Chenfeng was very satisfied with the box office of "Inception" on the first day. He originally thought that it would be good to get [-] million US dollars on the first day, but who knew it was almost [-] million US dollars now.

When Reba heard the news, he jumped up and down in the room happily.

As a not very well-known actress in Huaguo in the film industry, Reba never even dreamed that the movie she is currently starring in can get such a high box office on the first day all over the world.

At this time, she received a call from China: "Reba, congratulations, you are going to explode."

It turns out that Yang Mi in China has been paying attention to the box office of "Inception" on the first day, and called Reba as soon as she saw it.

After calming down, Reba said to Yang Mi on the other end of the phone: "Sister, thank you, but I know that at this time, I have to take every step well, and I can't be proud, otherwise I will fall from the altar of."

When Yang Mi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Oh, you have only been out with Teacher Gu for a few days, and your mentality has changed so much. I am really worried that you will be punished by Teacher Gu." Hooked to his company."

"Sister, don't worry, Mr. Gu is not that kind of person. He always remembers those who helped him. How could he do such a thing?" Reba quickly explained.

"Hehehe!" Yang Mi laughed and said, "You know her so well? Do you want to be Tangtang's stepmother?"

"Sister, what are you talking about? How could I have such an idea? Don't you understand Teacher Gu's character?" Reba's heart skipped a beat when he heard Yang Mi's words, but he still gave a stiff explanation. road.

When Reba was chatting with Yang Mi.

Gu Chenfeng in the next room had just finished chatting with Luo Qingcheng, and was about to put away his phone and go to sleep.

At this time, I received a call from Zhuo Le.

No need to think about it, Gu Chenfeng knew what this guy was going to say, so after connecting the phone, he took the phone away.

"Wow Kaka, Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, our box office on the first day is too awesome, 3.88 million US dollars worldwide, which is almost 20 billion soft sister coins! Do you think we will rely on this "Pirates" "Dream Space", directly impacting the world's box office champion?"

Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, Zhuo Le's extremely excited roar came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, hello, Teacher Gu, are you listening to me?"

"Calm down!" Gu Chenfeng said lightly.

Zhuo Le continued: "This time we are sure to win, hahaha, just wait for Chen Gang to quit the film industry."

He is really happy and excited now. After all, "Inception" has achieved such a good result on the first day of its premiere. As the chief director, how could Zhuo Le not be excited?

Although he knew that his film would definitely win Chen Gang's "Chi You God of War", he did not expect to win so cleanly.

Gu Chenfeng said helplessly: "As I said, the goal of my movie was never Gang Chen, and his movie was not bad, with a score of 91% overseas."

"Regardless of your gamble, this time Huaguo Films has finally gained a reputation in the global film market."

Indeed, the reason why Gu Chenfeng is a little happy today is because there are two Huaguo movies all of a sudden, which have won such a good box office and reputation overseas.

This is far more gratifying than "Inception" winning "Chi You God of War".

After chatting for a while, the two hung up the phone.

···
In the following time, as the word-of-mouth of the two Huaguo movies "Inception" and "Chi You God of War" increased, the box office also increased.

On the second day, the global box office of "Inception" exceeded 3.12 million US dollars, reaching 1.52 million US dollars, and the global box office of "Chi You God of War" also reached [-] million US dollars.

On the third day, "Inception" was even more powerful, reaching a total global box office of 3.5 million U.S. dollars. This news directly shocked the world, but "Chi You God of War" did not have such good luck. On the third day The global box office of the film has fallen to 1.1 million US dollars.

···
Soon, a week passed.

In the next four days, the global box office of the two films dropped somewhat, but "Inception" still managed to maintain a global box office of around 8000 million per day, and "Chi You God of War" maintained at 1000 million to [-] million per day. It looks like [-] million US dollars.

Therefore, the global first week box office of "Inception" reached 15.5 billion U.S. dollars, and "Chi You God of War" also reached 8.3 million U.S. dollars, which can be regarded as two very successful movies.

As for the leading actors of "Inception", Gu Chenfeng, Wu Jin, Reba and other actors in the crew are all very popular overseas.

And Chen Gang was once again known to overseas audiences because of the movie "Chi You God of War", but the bet between him and Zhuo Le had obviously lost.

The first week was the one that contributed the most to the movie box office. Chen Gang couldn't beat Gu Chenfeng, let alone the next three weeks.

At New York International Airport, Gu Chenfeng and Reba picked up Wu Jin, Zhuo Le and others who came from China into the car.

Gu Chenfeng looked at Wu Jin and said with a smile: "Brother Jin, you've been busy these days!"

Wu Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Although he is very busy, he is very comfortable."

Gu Chenfeng asked: "Are there a lot of drama appointments and endorsements looking for you?"

"That's right, there are about twelve plays, and more than twenty endorsements. My agent is already crazy with joy. These are all small money!" Wu Jin said a little excitedly.

Gu Chenfeng pointed to the Reba next to him, and said, "There are only twelve drama appointments and more than twenty endorsements? Compared with that Reba, you are far behind!"

Wu Jin was taken aback, looked at Reba and asked, "Are you more than me?"

Reba nodded, and said, "I have about sixteen plays, and over forty endorsements, large and small."

"Damn!" Wu Jin was speechless, and said, "I thought I was the best, but I didn't expect you to be better than me!"

After speaking, he looked at Gu Chenfeng and asked, "Teacher Gu, what about you, do you have more people than us?"

Gu Chenfeng shrugged, and said, "I don't have any endorsement or acting appointment, and they don't even look for me."

At this time, Zhuo Le who was next to him added, saying: "Everyone knows that you have never accepted endorsements or commercial performances. As for the script, there are probably few people in Huaguo who can write better scripts than you, so they must not I'll be looking for you."

Hearing Zhuo Le's words, Wu Jin said with a smile: "Director Zhuo is right, there are really few scripts written by Chen Feng in China. As for foreign countries, everyone must have finished reading "Inception." After ", everyone knew about his ability as a screenwriter, besides, there is Director Zhuo, the queen director, so no one will look for him."

Gu Chenfeng raised his forehead rather rascally and said: "Oh, there is no way, people are too good, there will always be all kinds of troubles."

"Cut!" Wu Jin and Zhuo Le both cut at the same time.

This guy is simply too pretentious, and his pretentiousness is still the kind that people can't refute.

Even Zhang Qingqing, who was standing next to him, felt that Gu Chenfeng had been with Zhuo Le for a long time now, and he had also learned to pretend. Before, he just pretended to be in front of Wu Xiaoxiao, but now he started to pretend in public .

Alas, this artist is getting harder and harder to handle.

After everyone frolicked for a while, Gu Chenfeng said seriously: "Brother Jin, Reba, I personally suggest that you should not be in a hurry to turn your popularity into money. For an actor, the more successful his first movie is, the more successful he will be. In the future, we must be more cautious when choosing movies, and we must not capsize in the gutter."

"As for endorsements, it's best to choose those big brands with guaranteed quality. Many celebrities and artists don't pay attention to these. Often because of problems with the products they endorse, their popularity will drop. I don't want to see you repeat the same mistakes."

Wu Jin nodded, and said: "Don't worry, I'm an old Jianghu after all, and I can still control this point."

Reba also opened his mouth and said: "I have asked my sister to put everything on hold. After the total box office of "Inception" is released, I will go back and discuss it with my sister."

"That's good!" Gu Chenfeng nodded.

Half an hour later, Gu Chenfeng took everyone to have a sumptuous lunch. After returning to the hotel, everyone rested and went to a talk show in the evening.

This was arranged by Disney for publicity. Gu Chenfeng never participated in such programs, so he called Wu Jin and Zhuo Le over.

Wu Jin's performance in the movie has been appreciated by countless fans and industry insiders, so Gu Chenfeng asked him to come here, on the one hand, to help promote "Inception" and increase the box office, and on the other hand, to help him accumulate overseas popularity .

As for Zhuo Le, this guy originally came back from Hollywood. Now that the movie "Inception" is so popular, he must come here to pretend to be aggressive. Of course, because Gu Chenfeng has his own things to do, so as Zhuo Le, the chief director, is undoubtedly the most suitable to bring the main creative staff to participate in the interview.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhuo Le took Wu Jin and others to participate in the talk show.

On Gu Chenfeng's side, he met Disney's CEO, Herman, in the hotel.

Ever since seeing the popularity of "Inception", Herman has always wanted to meet Gu Chenfeng, and he also investigated Gu Chenfeng in private, knowing that he still has the Marvel Universe in his hands, so This time I came here to talk to Gu Chenfeng.

"Mr. Herman, hello!" After seeing Herman, Gu Chenfeng smiled and stretched out his hand.

Herman stretched out his hand and greeted in Chinese with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu, I have long admired your name!"

Hearing that Herman could speak Chinese so well, Gu Chenfeng was a little stunned. This guy is the CEO of Disney, how could he speak Chinese so well?

Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn, and the CEO of Disney has learned it so well.

As if seeing Gu Chenfeng's doubts, Herman said with a smile: "When I was young, I lived in China for a few years, so I learned Chinese."

Gu Chenfeng suddenly said: "So that's the case, but Mr. Herman is not old now, when did he go to Huaguo?"

The current Herman looks like he is in his 40s. He is not really old, but his ability to take the position of Disney CEO at such a young age is enough to show that he is very capable.
