v2 Chapter 751： Strange couple

On May 2, 2010, the first weekend of the North American summer vacation, "Inception" held a huge North American premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Duke was the director and starring Leonardo DiCape. Leo, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, Hilian Murphy, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ken Watanabe, James Franco, Michael Kane, etc. were all present, and the scene was impressive. Said luxury, so that fans on both sides of the red carpet are excited.

The summer file is always the hottest movie and the fiercest competition of the year. This year is no exception, from vampires to evil aliens, and the dog that never grows old and talks about humans. "War 2" is constantly bombarding people's minds with fierce propaganda.

As soon as the fierce battle kicked off, Duke and Warner Bros. jointly presented the highly anticipated "Inception". Due to the weird title and the first-level secrecy maintained by Warner on the script, the entire film was in the public domain. The mystery that is unique to Hollywood has been cast in the speculation.

As in the past, Duke still kept a low profile when it wasn't necessary, leaving all the important moments of the red carpet to the protagonists.

Leonardo DiCaprio in a black formal dress and Oscar actress Charlize Se in a red print skirt, chatting and laughing, with a relaxed attitude. They tried their best to meet the demands of the media and movie fans. Cooperate and pose patiently for them to take pictures.

Joseph Gordon Levitt and James Franco walked on the red carpet hand in hand. The two wore similar black dresses, seeming to convey to the outside world that they are a good pair of friends...

Duke quickly walked across the red carpet with Scarlett Johansson, and before entering the interview area, he met an unexpected person.

"Hey, Duke. Hi. Scarlett." Brad Pitt greeted the two warmly.

Duke and Scarlett shook hands one after another, and he couldn't help asking curiously, "Why are you here?"

"I haven't watched this movie..." Brad Pitt said vaguely, "I want to see it sooner."

You can roughly guess Brad Pitt's intentions, and Duke didn't ask carefully, and the three of them walked towards the interview area while chatting.

Only Brad Pitt is here. Duke was still a little surprised.

This is the first weekend of the summer file. Not only is the release of a large-scale commercial film "Inception", and "Agent Sauter" produced and released by Sony Columbia Pictures will also be officially released in North America. The heroine is Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt’s current girlfriend.

Brad Pitt did not go to the premiere of "Agent Sauter", but came to his side, and his intention to build a good relationship with Duke was obvious.

These Duke can think of it. As for what can't be figured out, it can only be said that the way that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get along is incomprehensible to outsiders.

The gossip surrounding these two people. It is not only a topic on the American public table, but also the focus of discussion in Hollywood circles. There are too many entanglements surrounding them.

Take this year as an example, there was news that the two were about to get married, but last month there was news that Angelina Jolie caught Brad Pitt and the nanny at home, angry Angelina. Julie only fired the babysitter.

Afterwards, there was news circulating among the top in Hollywood that Brad Pitt asked a private investigator to investigate Angelina Jolie's past. It was discovered that the other party's life was chaotic in 1999, and he took wild and indecent video tapes and self-harm photos.

Brad Pitt understands that Julie has worked hard to build her image in recent years. If the scandal surfaced, she and her children would definitely be hit hard, so he spent $10 million to buy old indecent video tapes and photos to "wash the bottom" for the other party.

Although the news is unknown whether it is true or false, it is groundless and not necessarily without cause. And more than 90% of the gossip in Hollywood is always corroborated as fact by countless evidences over a long period of time.

According to Duke's understanding, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie should play their own roles, as long as they are not caught by the other party, they basically ignore the others...

of course. On the Internet, the word-of-mouth and reputation of these two people is not good. In fact, they are just a microcosm of Hollywood. Jennifer Aniston, who plays as a marriage victim, is no better than Angelina Jolie, this American. Sweetheart changed her boyfriend very fast, and because of the embarrassing status of "Friends" after the end of "Friends", Brad Pitt must be mentioned in the interview, calling him his favorite.

This is just the most common hype in Hollywood. The atmosphere in the circle is like this. No one can tell. For example, many people know that Demi Moore is bisexual, and often pulls other women with her current husband Ash. Dayton Kutcher played threesome, but he didn't feel strange at all.

And Julie’s ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton publicly pursued Jennifer Aniston, everyone knows that it is not for love...

It’s what every Hollywood star or anyone who wants to become a star is doing to promote oneself by celebrities who have a relationship with him, or by all the elements that can be hyped.

In the Hollywood circle, showing affection is also a regular means of publicity.

However, some people don't like such propaganda methods. Duke is very clear that love is never shown. The show love will soon wither and die. This is almost a Hollywood law.

Whether dealing with Ivanka Trump or with Scarlett Johnson, Duke is like Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, and he never minds bringing his significant other. Appeared in front of the media, but that's all.

And in the face of interviews, even if the media reporters asked each other, Duke and Scarlett would only talk about movies.

Standing in the interview area, when asked by reporters about the film, Duke still cooperated and said, "The relationship between the waking world and the dream life, I always think is a very interesting and full of contradictions. Here, whether it is a fearful, happy, or idealized state, it is actually an uncontrollable thing created by the human brain, mind, and ideology, and the imagination space created by dreams is extraordinary. I began to think about how it should be. Show this infinite energy on the big screen and express it in the form of a large-scale action movie from a very humanistic perspective."

A reporter from The New York Times turned to Scarlett again and asked, "Miss Johnson, what do you think is the focus and core idea of ​​this film."

Hearing this question, Duke stepped back a little and gave up his position to Scarlett.

She was obviously prepared and said directly, "I discussed the role and script with the director. I think the focus of "Inception" is that dreams can be shared... Dreams are designed to be real, both visually and perceptually. , So that the dreamer himself is in a dream state without knowing that it is just a dream. In that subconscious state, a person’s deepest and most precious secrets are at a glance."

Scarlett thought for a while, and said, "Duke said that the core point of this movie is that the creation of a concept is actually equivalent to a parasite with extremely flexible vitality, and the traces of it crawling will always exist in your brain. Somewhere. If someone can invade your dream space, use an extremely real means to act wantonly, or even steal a concept of incomparable privacy, this kind of storytelling entry point will be very fascinating."

Although another reporter posed a question, Duke and Scarlett stopped answering. A security guard walked towards the photo area, and the media reporter found a better person to interview, Leonardo DiCap. Leo has entered the interview area.

Leaving aside Leonardo’s fame and appeal, the emotional drive of this film comes from the core character, the protagonist Dom Cobb played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

As the lead actor, Leonardo DiCaprio faced the media camera and said: "Duke's script attracted me. The story of the script is full of entertainment, diversified and horrified. Everything can happen. But the key is It is the protagonist who wants to pursue a long-stored truth and find a way home. The story itself is also extremely original. No one has had a similar experience, let alone what it would feel like. All this I am very excited because I can participate in the filming of this film and I can also collaborate with Duke! He is definitely an expert in mastering multi-level storytelling and will make the audience feel the truth within reach."

Charlize Theron, standing next to Leonardo, was also the focus of the media siege. This Hollywood superstar fully showed her elegance and nobility, and said, "There is no doubt that I have watched the movie. It’s like reading a novel by Haruki Murakami. The movie is full of fantasy, but the world is not a strange surreal world, but a strong sense of existence. The abundant emotional passages in the movie are also indispensable for him. The main core, although the story is complicated, it will never deliberately confuse people."

The protagonists walked into the interview area one after another. After receiving regular interviews, they came to take a group photo in front of the background board covered with sponsor’s trademarks. At this moment, the stars are shining. In today's Hollywood, there can be so many in one film. Stars can be said to be very rare things.

For the film industry, a sentence from the country where Duke once lived is very suitable-good wine is afraid of deep alleys, and the film's gorgeous star lineup will ensure that it will be discovered by more fans!

Standing in front of the background board, the crew took a group photo together, and then took a group photo with the sponsors. It was not until nearly half an hour later that Duke led the main cast and crew of the crew into the Chinese Theater of Hollywood, and "Inception" will also be released. prelude. (To be continued.)
