Chapter 511: "Inception" premiere, like a fairy

Chapter 511: "Inception" premiere, like a fairy
(This chapter contains a lot of movie plot descriptions, so I would like to remind you in advance that you can skip it if you don’t want to read it.)
Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett didn't stay there chatting for too long.

Chen Linfeng usually doesn't spend a long time in Hollywood, and when he arrived in Emily Ken, he seldom appears at parties, banquets and other occasions. Movie premieres are one of the few places where he can be seen regularly.

Many celebrities and artists have a desire to communicate with him. As Chen Linfeng's fame becomes more and more prominent, they can even be said to be eagerly looking forward to it.

The Avengers of course noticed this sentiment, and they didn't want to stand in the way, so they just briefly communicated their feelings and left.

Before leaving, Robert Downey Jr. said, "Mr. Kevin Feige asked me to say hello for him and hoped to invite you to have a chat."

Chen Linfeng didn't hesitate too much and nodded in agreement, "I'll ask my assistant to contact the time."

The entire Avengers came to support the premiere of "Inception", which may have been done with Kevin Feige's permission.

Chen Linfeng naturally had to return the favor.

Soon after, he was surrounded by Hollywood stars such as Natalie Portman, Shia LaBeouf, Robert Pattinson, and Amy Adams.

This shows the benefits of these stars moving forward.

At least Chen Linfeng really had some more impression in his mind.

For example, Shia LaBeouf, the leading actor in the "Transformers" series, if Chen Linfeng hadn't introduced himself specifically, he really wouldn't have remembered who he was.

I recognize this face when I see it, but if it wasn't mentioned specifically, I would never have thought of this person.

Anyone who watches the Transformers series pays attention to the humans in it.

Oh, and Megan Fox might count as one.

As for the male lead, I'm really not familiar with him. This is the first time I've heard his name.

After chatting for a while, the red carpet outside had almost been cleared and it was almost time for the ceremony to begin.

Everyone dispersed to find their own seats.

The theater they were in was renovated by the China Theater in order to present the ultimate 3D-IMAX effect.

Chen Linfeng walked to the front rows, and Liu Qianqian waved her hand to call him, allowing him to see clearly where his seat was.

"Here, the glasses were just handed out by the staff."

Chen Linfeng took it and sat down.

Not only were there invited celebrity guests in the theater, but some film critics and some fans who had won tickets to the premiere had already entered.

The reporters who were filming outside just now are also entering the venue.

Not only were there European and American reporters, but the Six Princesses were never absent from the domestic scene, and several Internet media outlets such as Sina, Penguin, and NetEase also sent people.

Inside the theater, everyone was playing small games under the encouragement of the host.

There were people in the theater who were responsible for playing some small games and distributing gifts, so the atmosphere was very lively.

Although no premiere was held in China, the cinema did organize a meet-and-greet with the main creators.

At the Wanda Cinemas in Yanjing, Shi Xiaolong, Keanu Reeves, Lawrence, Ken Watanabe and others, as the main creators of the film, attracted a large number of fans.

Even many domestic celebrities came to the scene to support and join in the fun.

Plus many media reporters.

It's not much different from a premiere.

Yang Mi, Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi and Zhang Yunyun did not have to buy their own tickets and could directly watch the movie as guests.

After Yang Mi arrived, her true identity as a Beijing traitor was exposed. She did not sit with the three men, but went to chat with Shu Chang about their friendship.

Then he sat together with Shu Chang, almost next to Shi Xiaolong and others, making them look like the main creators of the movie.

Shu Chang had no choice but to maintain their friendship after all.

The two of them didn't have much in common, so naturally they focused on someone they both knew, namely Liu Qianqian.

"It's great to be able to work with Leonardo and Keanu Reeves. They really have the style of international stars." Yang Mi exclaimed sincerely.

"Yeah, Xixi was showing off to me a while ago."

"Damn it, come back and make her bleed." Yang Mi said gritting her teeth.

This is so enviable.

The trio were also chatting, and they were speculating on how good the upcoming movie would be.

Zhang Xingyun looked at the big screen in front of him with great anticipation. "Directed by Chen Linfeng and written by him, with three top domestic stars, a top Hollywood star, and top 3D special effects, my expectations are already maxed out."

Yang Zi asked, "What level of movie are you looking forward to, The Avengers? Titanic? Or...your name?"

"Why does it feel so weird to put these three movies together?" Zhang Yishan couldn't help but complain.

"That's right, The Avengers is a purely commercial film. It's lively, but I don't think it's that good."

Zhang Yingyun thought for a moment, "Inception is a Hollywood blockbuster, and it should have been compared to Titanic, but when you think about it, it probably can't be compared to it, because the latter's box office and status are too terrifying."

He touched his chin and said, "But compared with Your Name, it doesn't feel right. The box office of 21 billion broke the market limit. The shock it brought to me is still there."

"Well, Inception is just Inception."

Yang Zi rolled his eyes at him, "That's pure nonsense!"

The previous interactive session was basically over, and the lights in the entire theater dimmed.

The movie is about to start.

The audience became quiet, everyone was waiting.

Let's see how this highly anticipated movie performs.

Still on the familiar mountain tops, the Qilin roared.

What’s peculiar is that this Qilin has also been rendered in 3D, and it is so three-dimensional and realistic that you can even see the sound waves from its roar.

Some viewers couldn't help but reach out.

And of course I didn't touch anything.

Those who have watched 3D movies couldn't help but sigh, "This is a special effect that is even better than "Your Name"."

I heard that the cost of "Inception" exceeded 10 billion RMB, so it's not surprising that it has such an effect.

The expectations of the public were further raised.

At the beginning, a butterfly appears and flutters around.

Then, the camera followed the butterfly and came to a beach.

As Chinese people, some smart viewers have already thought of the story of Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly.

Recalling the dream scene in the early promotion of the film, everyone nodded, saying that there was nothing wrong with it, it was the sentiment of Chinese screenwriters.

Cobb, who fell on the beach, was awakened and taken to a neon-style room.

The conversation between the old man and Cobb was a bit mysterious. Zhang Yingyun didn't quite understand it, so he could only write it down temporarily to see if there would be any explanation later.

The scene changed, and it was still the same room, but the old man had turned into a middle-aged neon tycoon.

The movie shows a time-travelling effect here, allowing the audience to suddenly understand that these two are the same person.

"Go back in time? Time travel?"

There is too little information, so please continue reading.

Le Corbusier is introducing a new concept to tycoon Saito.

Regarding the concepts of dream implantation and theft, I recommended to him the exclusive package for the rich, the dream subconscious defense technique.

Shi Xiaolong is online. He is Cobb's assistant, and is called "Loong" in the movie.

In this kind of Hollywood commercial blockbuster, domestic actors appear in a serious manner.

Although there have been precedents with Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian, it still feels novel to many viewers.

Back to the movie.

Saito left without much interest.

At this moment, the scene changed to another room, where Cobb was still sleeping and Saito was lying on the bed.

"The conversation just now was in a dream!" Zhang Yunyun understood instantly.

When Cobb was about to steal Saito's secret, he was destroyed by Mel, and his companion Xiaolong was also captured.

There was no other choice but for Cobb to shoot his companion to death with his own gun.

Xiaolong returned to reality and immediately put Cobb into the bathtub.

A huge amount of water fell from the sky like a huge wave, flooding the entire room.

Cobb, who was in the room, heard some noise, and then saw water coming from all directions and drowning him.

The entire special effects scene is divided into two parts, and the indoor effects are basically the same as the previous version.

Chen Linfeng added an outdoor effect.

The special effects scenes with slightly slowed down footage maximize the shock level.

The audience, who had not yet entered the mood at the beginning, instantly became energetic.

"Fuck, is this the case?"

“It’s a big scene right from the start.”

Everyone immediately became interested.

Cobb points a gun at the real Saito and forces him to reveal the secret.

However, Saito, who had fallen to the ground, touched the wool blanket on the ground and laughed.

“I always hated this wool carpet because it was so old, but now it’s polyester.”

"That said, I'm not on the carpet in my apartment right now at all."

"You really live up to your reputation, Mr. Cobb."

“I’m still dreaming!”

Second level dream!

Here comes the first novelty.

Zhang Xingyun sighed in his heart, "As expected of Director Chen, a dream within a dream!"

The plan failed, Cobb dismissed his teammates and fled quickly.

But Saito still found him, not to kill him, but to give Cobb a new task:
Implant the idea of ​​"dissolving the company" into the heirs of business competitors.

This is exactly the implant idea that Cobb talked about at the beginning.

Cobb didn't want to agree at first, but he had no choice because the offer was too much (referring to being acquitted and being able to go back to see his children).

Next, it’s time to form a team.

This is a common tactic in Hollywood movies.

Frequent use means easy to use.

When the audience saw this part, they felt quite refreshed.

Especially Liu Qianqian also appeared.

The lack of professionalism of previous dream makers was the main reason for Cobb's failure.

This time, he went directly to visit his master, who was also his father-in-law.

I want to find a talented person who is qualified and has a deep knowledge of architecture, space and physics.

My father-in-law is helpless. There are too few people like him.

In the end, Xiaolong thought of someone. Coincidentally, that person was at the destination of their mission.

Then they went to Shenhai and found the genius.

It was Sissi.

She is called "cc" in the film, which is similar to Xiaolong's name, both of which are related to real names, making the audience as familiar with them as possible.

Here, the movie once again shows the ultimate visual effects.

When they realized they were in a dream, the street in Shenhai where they were standing exploded on the spot.

After subverting the laws of physics, the entire Shenhai city can even be folded up.

Zhang Xingyun couldn't help but sigh at the director's imagination, "This scene will become a classic shot in film history."

Two special effects scenes were so amazing that some viewers exclaimed in surprise.

Under the 3D lens, these scenes seem to be happening around you.

During the explosion scene, some people even couldn't help but cover their faces to avoid being blown up.

In the IMAX exhibition hall, coupled with panoramic sound effects, the sense of reality is so strong.

"Reality is like a dream. This is Inception."

Some audience members sighed.

This sentence happened to be heard by the reporter in front.

"Hey, this news headline is good, I can write it down."

In the movie, during the process of teaching CC, a new setting appeared - the gyroscope.

Cobb relies on it to determine whether he is in a dream or reality.

Later, the pharmacist and the pretender were also found and absorbed into the team. Looking at the savior group in "The Matrix", they also joined the team, and I felt that the protagonists were very strong.

Then, the process of making and implementing plans follows the same rhythm as a Hollywood blockbuster and is full of excitement.

Then, came the ultimate mission.

The first layer of the dream was a city with heavy rain.

At the beginning, the plan went smoothly and the dream stealer team successfully kidnapped the rich second generation.

However, an accident soon occurred. The rich second generation had received professional subconscious training.

The subconscious appears as a group of gunmen and attacks the team.

In the chaos, tycoon Saito was shot.

Keanu decides to kill Saito and bring him back to reality.

But they were told that the sedatives they used were too strong and that death would not return them to reality but would instead lead them into a lost realm.

This is another new setting.

The nature of the mission has completely changed. The only way to wake up is to fall from a high altitude or a similar effect to produce a wake-up mode, which is a kick.

There is no choice but to continue the mission.

The Dream Stealer tortures the Impostor by making him the godfather of a rich second-generation man.

Later, the godfather, the pretender, told the rich second generation something during the conversation.

The purpose is to make the rich second generation believe that their father left a secret in a safe.

In fact, that is where the idea that the dream stealer wants to implant is.

While the pretender was working, Cobb told CC about the troublemaker Mel who often appeared in his dreams.

And he tells about his experience with his deceased wife in the Lost Zone.

The dream stealer forced the rich second generation to say a string of numbers and implanted it as a thought. This was the password of the safe in the deep dream.

Afterwards, the pharmacist stayed in the first level of the dream and drove everyone around the city.

Others enter the second level of dreams.

The second dream is an indoor bar in a hotel.

Keanu turns into a woman and steals the wallet of a rich second-generation man.

Cobb reminded the rich second generation and then successfully gained his trust.

Outside, Shi Xiaolong was having a subconscious battle with the rich second generation.

Here, the dream has become somewhat unreal.

Shi Xiaolong's fighting moves all have some martial arts elements, and he even uses some light skills.

Of course, people in the hotel cannot see this scene.

Cobb took the rich second generation away, lying that those subconscious minds were actually people who came to kidnap him.

He also pointed out that the person behind the scenes was the godfather of the rich second generation.

And Xiaolong really brought the Godfather here.

In fact, the Godfather is actually played by Keanu, a pretender.

Cobb suggested going into the Godfather's dream to see what his purpose was.

The rich second generation agreed.

Xiaolong is the dreamer of the second level of dreams. He has to stay to protect everyone and is also responsible for the task of implementing the "kick".

The others then entered the third level of dreams.

The third level of the dream seemed to be a hospital in a snowy mountain.

In fact, when you reach the third level, the difference from reality is huge.

Everything in front of me looks normal.

In fact, if you zoom out a little, you can see that the mountains in the distance and the snowy scenery on the periphery are all textures.

It was specially built by the dreamer CC, just like a big movie set.

The area they are in is The Truman Show.

The camera has shown some scenes outside.

I can only say that it perfectly reflects the bizarreness of dreams.

This opened the audience's eyes, and at the same time they had to admire the screenwriter's imagination.

The team escorted the rich second generation into the hospital.

The hospital has defenders, which are the subconscious of the rich second generation.

Cobb and others attracted fire from the front, while Keanu led the rich second generation to climb up the cliff from the side.

In fact, it is also to prevent the rich second generation from seeing the truth.

On the front battlefield that they could not see, it was like a fight between gods.

Although the defenders' main means of attack are still real weapons, cannons, machine guns and the like have also been used.

In the third level of dreams, there is basically no need to consider reality.

Cobb put on the Iron Man armor directly.

The good thing about working with Disney is that Marvel's copyright is easy to negotiate.

The tycoon Saito, on the other hand, had to endure it, dodging as he walked, and only his silhouette could be seen floating around.

CC was the most outrageous, she even summoned a magical weapon from mythology.

I saw Sissi holding an ancient pagoda in her hand, with yellow silk threads surrounding her.

She raised her foot and stepped on the delicate silk threads, but it felt like she was stepping on steel.

Then she walked in the air, holding the pagoda, and headed towards the hospital at a leisurely pace.

Although it cannot attack, it is not afraid of gunfire at all.

In the reflection of the camera, the whole person looks like a fairy or a god.

Seeing this, Yang Zi, who was drinking Coke, almost spit it out.

"Is this the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li?"

"No, it should be the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Linglong Tower."

Zhang Yishan also widened his eyes. It’s so damn handsome. I want to play too.

At the same time, the scene switched to the rainy city in the first layer of the dream.

The pharmacist drove his car to avoid the subconscious pursuit.

During the intense chase, the vehicle overturned.

The upper level influences the lower level.

Xiaolong was having a tough fight with the guardian, but the whole corridor started to flip over.

Luckily, Bruce Lee is now a martial arts master in his dreams, but the fighting scenes are more interesting.

The rotating corridor prepared by Chen Linfeng was used here.

The whole scene is so stunning.

The audience was overwhelmed and excited.

I don't know how this was filmed.

Eventually, the upper-level pharmacist was forced into a corner and had no choice but to enter the kick early.

He put headphones on everyone and played music.

After hearing this, the little dragon on the lower level estimated the time and played the music in the same way.

In this way, all team members heard the sound coming from the air.

The time relationship between each layer of the dream is 1:20, and the pharmacist is about to kick off.

According to the plan, time is running out for everyone.

The pharmacist completes the kick after level 10, which means the little dragon has 3 minutes, and Cobb and others on the third floor have 60 minutes.

Here comes the best part.

Inside the theater of the Huaguo Theater, some film critics were already staring with their mouths wide open in exaggeration.

They had already anticipated what was to come.

"This has to be the most exciting last-minute rescue in film history." Andrew Sarris trembled all over, excited by the idea.

In the first dream, a pharmacist broke through the guardrail on a high bridge and fell into the water from a height.

In the second level of dream, it has completely become a weightless state.

Xiaolong tied up everyone and put them in the elevator.

In the third dream, the team entered the hospital.

The entire theater fell into a state of inexplicable anxiety.

Robert Downey Jr. knocked his head and felt like he missed out on 100 million by not getting into this movie.

"It's simply a magic of time. In just a few seconds, when the car fell from the bridge into the water, so many intense things happened at the same time."

In the third dream, Mel appeared again.

She shot the rich second generation directly, knocking him down and putting him in a state of shock and near death.

Keanu quickly used a defibrillator to rescue him, but there was no way, the rich second generation's consciousness had already entered a lower level of dream,
In this case, there is no turning back.

They could only continue to move down.

Keanu and Saito stayed on the upper level, planning to blow up the entire hospital and crash it over a cliff as a means of kicking.

Cobb and CC went to the next level.

However, Saito did not hold on to the end. He was seriously injured on the first level and died directly. He entered the lost zone.

This is where Cobb and Mel once lived, and the movie further reveals the truth of that year.

Cobb sensed Saito's death and ordered CC to take the rich second generation away, while he went to the Lost Zone to look for Saito.

At the same time, the car was still falling, and Xiaolong worked hard on the second floor to place bombs around the elevator shaft.

Then music plays, delivering a message to Keanu on the next level.

Keanu picked up the defibrillator and delivered a shock.

At the same time, CC pushed the rich second generation down from a high place.

The kick on the fourth floor, plus the defibrillator shock, the rich second generation woke up on the third floor.

In the ward, he met his father who was in the intensive care unit and took out things from the safe.

The task of implanting the idea was finally completed.

Then, the four layers of dreams kicked at the same time.

On the first level, the car finally fell into the water;
On the second level, a bomb exploded in the elevator shaft, and the people in the elevator were weightless and were hit by the shock wave, which also gave them a feeling of falling;

On the third level, Keanu presses the bomb button and the hospital falls into a snowy mountain;
On the fourth floor, CC jumped from a tall building.

The constant switching of the four levels of dreams pushes everyone's passion to the highest point.

The rest of the team wakes up on the first level.

Only Cobb stayed in the car, drowned, and successfully entered the Lost Zone.

The camera turns and the butterfly appears again, still on the same beach, with Cobb lying on the beach and being helped up by someone.

Andrew let out a long sigh of satisfaction. All the arrangements had their design.

The foreshadowing at the beginning is recovered.

In the movie, old Saito meets Cobb.

The two use guns to return to reality.

Saito achieved his goal, and Cobb was finally able to see his child.

At the end of the movie, Cobb habitually spins his spinning top on the table.

Then, with the accompaniment of a dreamy BGM, she walked towards the courtyard and picked up her child.

The camera then turned to the spinning top.

It keeps spinning.

Keeps turning.

Until it seemed like the speed started to slow down.

The screen went dark and the movie ended.
