Chapter 453: "Inception" Released Earlier

“But isn’t it a bit too short, just over a minute.”

As soon as the trailer was over, Anne Hathaway took the lead in applauding and praising it.

Wu Yuan shook his head and laughed, explaining: “This is just a pre-promotional video, which will be put on the Times Square and other places with LED advertising screens as an advertisement.”

“It will also be launched on online platforms such as Twitter and YouTube.”

“Half a month before the movie is officially released, there will be another official trailer, which will be put on the theater and the Internet.”

Unlike a few years ago when a movie usually only prepared one trailer, these days, with the development of the Internet, there are more and more ways to promote movies.

Preparing a few more trailers is not a difficult thing for the distributor, and the publicity effect is very good.

“It sounds great.” Mads Mikkelsen said expectantly.

“Okay, guys, go home and prepare, and cheer up to deal with the next movie promotion work! "Wu Yuan clapped his hands and said solemnly.

Time soon came to July.

The release date of "Interstellar" was set for August 12, the tail end of the summer season.

As the release date approached, from Universal, Paramount and other production and distribution companies to actors such as Anne Hathaway and Mads Mikkelsen, all became nervous and prepared for the early publicity of "Interstellar".

However, on the Internet, the news of the release date of "Interstellar" was hot for a few days, and then it was quickly taken away by another movie.

Nolan's new film "Inception" is about to be released.

For this movie, Nolan has implemented a strict confidentiality system since the beginning of production.

How strict is it?

When the filming plan was announced early in the film, it was rumored that Leonardo Dicaprio's character was named Jacob. Hastley, and the character played by Ellen Page is named Isabella.

All the fans who follow this movie think this is true. After all, there is really no point in keeping the name of the protagonist of a movie secret.

Until the movie was about to be released, Nolan slowly announced that the rumor was false. In fact, the male and female protagonists were not called this name.

This was just a smokescreen for official publicity.

All the details about this movie that were previously announced in the publicity were all false and deceptive.

Good guy, I don’t know if Nolan is really sure about the protection of this movie. The confidentiality requirements are very strict, or is it deliberately used as a topic to hype up the topic.

Anyway, with this hype, the global attention to "Inception" has risen rapidly.

Many fans who originally had no interest in this movie were inevitably curious about Nolan's secrecy.

Humans are so mean. The more you don't let me know, the more I want to know.

The more you hide it, the more I want to see what you are hiding.

Legendary Pictures, which is in charge of the investment and distribution of this film, also took the opportunity to release the trailer that fans have been waiting for.

In the sea Leonardo waking up, exciting gunfights on the streets, London turning upside down, the world constantly collapsing and exploding, everything is so attractive.

Nolan really brought a mysterious and thrilling science fiction world to the global audience!

With many audiences excited and looking forward to it, "Inception" held its world premiere in London on July 8, 2010.

On the day of the premiere, all the guests and film critics who watched the movie gave rave reviews, praised the content of "Inception", and gave high scores one after another. The film has received a lot of praise.

On July 13, 2010, "Inception" held its Hollywood premiere in California, and three days later, it was released in North America!

Thanks to the good reputation and media expectations brought by the London premiere, countless North American audiences bought tickets to enter the cinema to experience this movie as soon as possible.

In the three days of the premiere weekend, "Inception" earned 47.52 million US dollars in box office, directly landing on the top of the weekly box office champion!

In a certain cinema in Los Angeles.

Looking at the spinning top on the screen that kept spinning and seemed to stop, Liu Yifei's face flashed a trace of confusion.

"Brother, did Cobb wake up in the end, or was he still in the dream?"

Wu Yuan nodded and smiled: "If you think he woke up, then he woke up. If you think he is still in the dream, then he is still in the dream."

"Nolan did not give a standard answer. It depends entirely on the audience themselves."

The ending of "Inception" will be the most discussed part of this movie, and Liu Yifei is no exception.

She frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "Well, watching it once seems a little bit not enough."

"To be honest, I am a little confused, and I can't tell the difference between reality and dreams. Which moments are dreams and which situations are reality?"

"But I hope that Cobb wakes up in the end, returns home to reunite with his children, and returns to the beautiful and real world."

After watching "Inception", kind people will tend to hope that Leo finally returns to reality and has a relatively happy ending.

People who are more realistic and have more thoughts are more willing to believe that the spinning top did not stop at the end, and Leo is still in the dream. This seemingly beautiful ending is actually just an illusory dream, and he got nothing.

There is no good or bad difference between the two, it is just a different direction of the ending. Which one you are willing to believe depends on the fans' own inclination.

This is the result Nolan wants.

In fact, this result is also in line with the psychology of most people in reality.

People always believe in an answer they want to believe more, even if this answer is not necessarily correct, right?

"This is a very exciting movie." Wu Yuan said with a smile: "Next, this movie will definitely become a hot topic among fans around the world, and the box office will soar."

It is this "Inception" that really established Nolan's reputation as an international director.

Before "Inception", although Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy had good box office, it only had some reputation and popularity among superhero fans. At least outside North America, the popularity was very limited.

But the movie "Inception" is different. It is a movie that will become a classic, and it will still be mentioned in various reviews even ten years later.

Nolan has also truly gained global fame and has become a benchmark for the new generation of science fiction film directors.

The box office performance of more than 40 million in the first weekend is the best proof.

And this box office performance is just the beginning. In the next week or two, "Inception" will be released on a large scale around the world, setting off a higher wave.

Witnessing the release of this masterpiece with his own eyes, Wu Yuan was still quite touched.

"I hope that "Interstellar" will also become a masterpiece movie regarded as a treasure by movie fans, and it will still be mentioned as a classic ten or twenty years later!"

"I believe it, it will!"

"Yeah, I believe it too!" Liu Yifei nodded heavily. (End of this chapter)
