Chapter 319 Premiere of "Inception"
Generally, the premiere of Zhang Hao's new movie is held in the capital.

But this time is different, Zhang Hao chose to hold the premiere in Shanghai.On the day of the premiere, many filmmakers in the industry came to join in.

Guoshi and his wife, Feng Dapao and his wife, Ning Hao, Xu Dabald, Huang Bo, Bao Qiang, Deng Chao, Lao Hu, Bai Doufu and so on.

On the actress side, seven seven eight eight also attended, Sister Immortal, Ying Bao, Tang Yan, Shi Shi and Wu Qilong also came together.

Artists contracted by Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, Reba, Zhou Yutong, Chen Xiao, Zhang Binbin, Wei Ting and others also attended.

This is really true. Most of the entertainment industry attended this premiere, which was even more exaggerated than the awards ceremony.

As the hosts, Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi received visiting celebrity guests at the entrance of the theater.

A red carpet show and a signature wall were also arranged, and visiting celebrity guests can sign autographs and take group photos.

On the afternoon of the premiere, tens of thousands of fans crowded both sides of the red carpet.Although there was a little rain in the sky, it couldn't quench the fiery hearts of movie fans.

With the beginning of the red carpet ceremony, Zhang Hao took Hua Tsai, Huang Xiaoming, Shu Chang, Yan Biwen, Hou Yong and other leading actors onto the red carpet.

Autographs, group photos, and by the way, these are all necessary processes for red carpet ceremonies.

Afterwards, celebrity guests arrived one after another, causing waves of carnival among movie fans.This grand event was also broadcast live simultaneously by Penguin Video, and millions of netizens gathered in the live broadcast room to watch the premiere ceremony.

Generally, the premiere will arrange a movie screening, but in order to save time, the crew of "Inception" did not do that.

Instead, several undisclosed trailers were played, and then the crew, celebrity guests, and fans interacted.

The visiting celebrity guests shared their feelings, and then wished the film a big hit at the box office.The production staff shared some interesting stories during filming and shared some insider tidbits.

Then some media reporters were arranged to ask questions, and the creators of the crew answered, and the whole premiere ended without any surprise.

A lot of publicity work was done before the film was released, and slogans such as this is a movie that only smart people can understand.

In this world, few people will admit that they are stupid.

The film critics and directors who had watched the test screening before gave the film a lot of praise in front of the media.The 1200 senior fans who participated in the preview gave the film an average score of 9.8.

All of these stimulate the audience's desire to see the movie sooner.

And if the audience wants to see the movie, they have to wait until midnight.

The audience didn't have to wait too long. At the end of the night of the premiere, the audience waited for the zero-point scene of "Inception".

It's similar to "The Martian", because the viral marketing was so good that it drove a large number of viewers into the cinema.

Movies of the same period as "Inception" include "Like You" starring Zhou Dongyu and Jin Chengwu, "Master of Memory" starring Huang Bo, and "Chunjiao Rescue Zhiming" starring Yu Wenle and Yang Qianhua.

The rest are films that were released earlier, "Fast and Furious 14" released on April No.8, and "Pride and Prejudice" starring Reba, which was released on April No.20.

If "Fast and Furious 8" and "Inception" are released together, the pressure on "Inception" will not be small.

But now, it can only be said that the rest are not competitors.

In fact, this is true. Other films have resigned themselves to their fate. "Inception" eats meat, and they are satisfied with some soup.

In a certain Wanda IMAX cinema in Shencheng, Qian Sen came out just after watching the movie. He watched the zero point scene of "Inception" and felt his mind was a little tired.

The fans who came out together also watched the zero point scene of "Inception". At this time, several partners were still discussing the plot of the movie.

"I think the top stopped spinning, and the hero must have returned to the real world."

"No, I think he is still in a dream, all this is just his fantasy."

"Is it possible that this is actually a dream of the hero, and the story of Stealing Dreams didn't actually happen?"

"You nonsense, if the story of Stealing Dreams didn't happen, what happened before?"

Listening to the arguments of these movie fans, Qian Sen couldn't help but smile. In fact, Qian Sen is a film and television UP master, and his main explanations are some suspenseful and brain-burning movies.

He has also done Zhang Hao's column, and he has analyzed movies such as "Manslaughter", "The Prestige", and "Knives Out".

Watching "Inception" for the first time this time, Zhang Hao did not disappoint him, and played another brain-burning drama.

Qian Sen decided to watch it several times, analyze the film, and then publish the analysis video.

Qian Sen is not alone. At this time, countless movie theaters across the country have come out of a lot of confusion. They seem to understand, feel that they understand, think that the movie is very exciting, in short, movie fans with various ideas.

Those who can watch movies in the middle of the night are basically Zhang Hao's loyal fans, or senior movie lovers.

A movie like "Inception" undoubtedly tickled their itch, and they wished they could watch it several times and study the details.

"Inception" is not a typical sci-fi film, but an action sci-fi film that takes place within the structure of consciousness in a contemporary context.

A new bioinformatics technology has been developed that allows people to enter the hearts, minds or dreams of others by this means.

"Inception" is in a way like "The Matrix" or "Minority Report" synthesis.

A brand-new technology has appeared in the world of the film, which allows people to enter other people's dreams, thereby spying on other people's privacy and stealing important information.

Unprepared, dreams have become the best way to enter the human subconscious.

The protagonist played by Hua Tsai, Ke Meng, is a thief, a seasoned thief with rich means.

Unlike most thieves, he didn't need to plunder other people's wallets, and his methods seemed advanced.

In this world, there is a very strange name for a person like him, called Dream Stealer.

His specialty is to sneak into other people's dreams and steal valuable information and secrets from the subconscious.If necessary, he will perform further memory transplantation to tamper with his memory.

And as an experienced Dream Stealer, he naturally has a team.

He and his team were hired by a wealthy businessman to invade the dream of another wealthy businessman's son and implant memories so that the wealthy businessman could split up his company, which is almost an impossible task.

The story is not complicated, but the film uses a relatively complicated narrative technique.

Audiences who like sci-fi movies may feel this way. The stories of most sci-fi movies are actually very simple and straightforward.

The aliens invaded, and the people on earth tried to escape and found a way to defeat the aliens, such as "Independence Day".

Or some scary monster is chasing the protagonist, and the protagonist must find a way to escape or defeat the monster, such as "Alien" and "Jurassic Park".

Or encounter an adventure, change the original trajectory of life from then on, and become a hero, such as most superhero movies.

This kind of repeatable, imitable, and mass-produced story core is one of the characteristics of commercial blockbusters.

A well-made film is widely circulated and sold at the box office.Done poorly, it can appear lackluster, empty, like a bland fast-food product.

But obviously, "Inception" definitely does not belong to the above-mentioned types.

The movie is not shown for a long time, and the audience will find that the plot of the movie is complicated, with ups and downs, and there are hidden or obvious echoes before and after.

Chen Gezi is also one of the people hidden among the many movie fan groups. He secretly went to the cinema to watch "Inception".

It turned out that he had always been prejudiced against Zhang Hao, and could not face Zhang Hao's movies with an objective and fair attitude.

But the successive blows made Chen Gezi no longer look down on Zhang Hao, so he decided to study Zhang Hao's movie magic.

What exactly did Zhang Hao do to the audience, so that the audience couldn't stop.

Seeing this, Chen Gezi realized with a sigh that he had been abandoned by the mainstream film industry to this point.

In Chen Gezi's view, from the perspective of science fiction conception, the conception of the film "Inception" is not unprecedented and unique.

There are many film ideas that are better than "Inception", but none of them attract audiences like "Inception".

What Zhang Hao does well is not the originality of the film, but his wonderful plot and perfect dream details to make the film eye-catching and meaningful.

Generally, film works like "Inception" that involve the space of consciousness often focus on the real space.

But "Inception" is different. The film shows how to enter a dream, how to create a dream, what problems you will encounter, how to wake up, the influence between the upper and lower dreams, etc., thus constructing a complete dream world.

Coupled with some puzzle solving and, as always, excellent visual effects and wonderful action scenes, the whole film looks extremely charming.

Although "Inception" is known as brain-burning, Chen Gezi feels that the main line of the story is very clear, that is, the Inception team headed by Hua Tsai was hired by the wealthy businessman played by Hou Yong to implant ideas into a rich second generation.

This process is completed with a set of dreams.

During this period, the film showed various incredible visual spectacle, such as space reversal, resurrection of the dead, all of which seemed impossible in live-action movies.

Because the depiction of human dreams in live-action movies is extremely limited, including David Lynch, who is just playing with the jigsaw puzzle of reality and dreams in a single space.

The amazing thing about this film is that the dreams described by Zhang Hao can do whatever they want, subverting the laws of physics recognized by human beings at will.

When the subtitles of the film ended, Chen Gezi was relieved. He studied and understood Zhang Hao's movie magic, but he also knew that he would never learn it.

Not to mention him, many directors can't learn it. This is a masterpiece that only a genius director can create.

Yes, a masterpiece.

Even if "The Martian" has a global box office of 11.22 billion US dollars, Chen Gezi does not think this film is very exciting, at most it is a good science fiction film.

But in "Inception", Chen Gezi expressed his complete admiration.

He wanted to applaud, but he was afraid of attracting everyone's attention.

Fortunately, he was not the only one who wanted to applaud. Two rows of seats away, a middle-aged man in a hat stood up and applauded for the film.

The fans who reacted immediately also applauded, and the warm applause resounded throughout the auditorium.

The theater lights came on, and the theater cleaner who came in to clean was surprised to find that the audience did not leave, but spontaneously stood up and applauded.

Cleaning has been working in theaters for five or six years, and has never encountered this situation.

This is just the midnight screening of the film, and there is no director and starring guests present, and there is no need to save face, you can leave after watching.

And the audience's spontaneous applause proved that the movie really conquered the audience.

The applause lasted for more than 20 seconds before the audience gradually walked out of the theater. Many fans were still relishing the plot and discussing the film with great interest.

In the middle of the night, it is inevitable that reporters squatted at the entrance of the theater, wanting to interview fans as soon as possible and get first-hand information.

Zhang Hao's movie is worthy of reporters squatting at the entrance of the movie theater in the middle of the night.

Chen Gezi lowered the brim of his hat, trying to follow the crowd out, but unfortunately, he was caught by a young female reporter.

The female reporter obviously just entered the circle not long ago, otherwise, this kind of hard work of covering news at night, ordinary big reporters would not come.

She didn't recognize that the person in front of her was the well-known director Chen Gezi, so she raised the microphone and asked, "Hi sir, can you answer our two questions?"

Seeing the camera pointing at him, Chen Gezi said inwardly that he was sorry, but he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, because his face wouldn't allow it.

So he had to stand and accept the interview: "Yes, you can ask!"

"What's your surname, sir?" the female reporter asked.

"My surname is Chen..."

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I see that you just came out of the theater of "Inception". After watching this movie, how did you feel?"

Chen Gezi thought about it, and then commented after organizing the words: "I say without reservation, "Inception" has easily become the best big-budget movie this year.

It could even go a step further and say that this is one of the best movies of the past five years, Inception is close to perfection.

Although this is a movie within the conscious structure, it is also a wonderful action movie. Lu Jianqiu's photography is unparalleled, and the actual shooting effect is very good.

The score by Hans Zimmer is also great, the action is dense and the story packs an emotional punch.

This is the most complicated film director Zhang Hao has made after filming "The Dark Knight". "

The duplicitous Chen Gezi still gave Zhang Hao's movie a very high evaluation, and his heart and mouth did not allow him to lie or make malicious evaluations.

Listening to Chen Gezi's long-winded speech, the female reporter was a little dazed for a while. She didn't expect this wretched uncle to speak so insightfully, and his analysis was well-founded.

The female reporter hurriedly wrote down what Chen Gezi said in a notepad, and Chen Gezi repeated what was wrong for the female reporter to correct.

After that, Chen Gezi gave "Inception" 100 points without a doubt. He wanted to give more points, but the full score was only 100 points.

Afterwards, Chen Gezi went home with a small gift from the young female reporter.

The photographer at the side pondered for a long time, and finally remembered where he had seen Chen Gezi.

"I'll go, Reporter Tian, ​​we were interviewing Director Chen Gezi just now."

Reporter Tian suddenly realized: "I said he looks familiar, and the analysis is so reasonable. It turns out that he is the director Chen Gezi!"

Both of them were happy that they had found the big news, and now that they had a bonus, it was not in vain for them to spend half the night.

The next day, the video of Mr. Chen, an enthusiastic citizen, praising "Inception" was spread all over the Internet, and it even became a trending search.

After reading this trending search, an insider who knows Zhang Hao and Chen Gezi's grievances can't help being happy.

What a coincidence!Director Chen didn't do it on purpose, did he?
