Chapter 214 Celebration
The situation with No Man’s Land is a bit complicated.

On the other hand, Ning Hao re-edited a version within three days and made some adjustments to the ending.

This time he did not send it directly to the Film Bureau, but gave it to Han Sanping and asked him to pass it on.

The result was that he was beaten again.

Han Sanping was also very angry. The reason given by the General Administration was that it did not comply with the review regulations and had to be handled in accordance with the regulations.

After all, politics, eroticism, religion, and ethnicity are all big issues when it comes to film censorship, and the reasons given by the other party are also in line with regulations.

"Director Han, Warner Bros. and Director Gu sent a message that Director Nolan and others will come over in three days to promote the movie."

After hearing this, Han Sanping could only put aside the matter of "No Man's Land" for the time being.

“The venue must be arranged in advance, and media reporters and guests attending must be notified in advance.

This film is the group’s most important investment project this year and we cannot afford to make any mistakes.”

"Okay, Director Han."

The earliest form of domestic film premieres can be traced back to December 2002, when "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou held its world premiere at the Great Hall of the People.

The premiere was a grand event, marking the beginning of the era of domestic commercial blockbusters and also kicking off the premiere as a form of publicity.

Although the first China Film Festival, held from September 1989 to 9, 21, was an important film and cultural event, it was a film festival rather than a film premiere.

Just like "Interstellar", China Film Group confirmed the invited guests for this premiere early on.

It involves a large number of media, film and television companies, theater managers and celebrity artists in the circle.

The employees of China Film Group who were in charge at this time all knew what to do to satisfy Han Sanping.

...

Nolan was originally going to hold a premiere promotion in Los Angeles, but due to an extra premiere in Europe, he ran out of time.

Gu Wei did not wait for Liu Yifei to come to Hollywood again, and the two sides agreed to meet in the capital.

In the blink of an eye, it was July 7th, the time for the premiere celebration of "Inception".

The venue chosen this time is the Capital National Indoor Stadium, and it is jointly organized by China Film, Star Film and Television, and Warner Bros.

As the most anticipated Sino-US co-production of the year, and hosted by several large companies, the Capital Gymnasium was packed with stars and guests on the evening of the 17th.

There was a red carpet at the entrance of the venue, with a huge movie poster standing on one side.

The stars and guests who came to support the event signed their names on the posters as they passed by, and then stood there for a while to allow the media to take pictures.

Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others who became famous with "Chinese Paladin III" also received invitations.

The main creative team arrived in the capital one day in advance.

at dusk.

Vehicles carrying various celebrities slowly entered the venue.

Liu Yifei, wearing a long dress, got into a car at the hotel entrance and drove towards the stadium.

Nolan, Leonardo and others were also in the other cars nearby.

As an investor, Gu Wei has arrived early and will not walk the red carpet with the creative team.

At this time, the lights outside the venue were already brightly lit, and a large number of camera flashes were flashing.

At another entrance of the stadium, fans continued to come in.

This was also Han Sanping's arrangement. A movie was to be shown at the premiere. There were a total of 5000 tickets for the audience, and all were sold out early.

"Boss Han, this is quite a big event. It must have taken a lot of effort."

"Haha, not bad."

As the two were talking, they saw Ning Hao coming to the scene with a sullen face.

"Director, Mr. Han."

Even when facing the two of them, Ning Hao was weak and looked listless.

"Okay, it's just that. I'll go find Director Tong in a couple of days."

Hearing this, Ning Hao's face changed instantly, and his energy and spirit returned visibly, as if he had become a different person.

...

Guests arrived on the red carpet from time to time.

Wang Changtian of Guangguang brought his artists with him, and Xie Nan was responsible for hosting today and did not join them.

Then came Huayi Company and others.

Wang Zhonglei was carrying Li Binbin, and Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Hanyu and others were following him.

Facing the camera, everyone was smiling and waving from time to time.

The weather in July was very hot and the reporters present were busy and sweating. There was nothing they could do as there were too many people.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the atmosphere reached its climax as a convoy of cars entered the venue.

Even though Gu Wei and the others were in the conference hall, they heard the loud noise.

"Director Gu, Yifei and the others should be here."

Wang Changtian said cheerfully, and the others nearby also looked over.

"Ah."

"Director Gu, I wish you a big box office success."

Ye Ning and others came up to him and spoke first. Lu Zheng, Jing Tian and others next to him also greeted him.

"haha, thank you."

"Director Gu, I heard that you invited Song Ge over. You acted pretty quickly. I talked to him before, but I didn't expect that he would become a member of Xingchen Film and Television in the blink of an eye."

Speaking of this, Ye Ning felt a little regretful. After all, the two sides had talked several times and the other party was already attracted. He didn't expect that he would be snatched away by Gu Wei.

"The company's business is growing and we are in need of management talent. Wang Chen just happened to mention him to me."

Gu Wei did not explain too much. Even if the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, they are still competitors. After all, Wanda Pictures is also engaged in film production business.

Outside the venue, fans cheered loudly as Leonardo and others arrived.

There were many slogans written on the cheering banners on both sides.

There were also fans holding big posters with happy smiles on their faces.

The first person to walk onto the red carpet was director Nolan, accompanied by a translator.

The host on the red carpet was from the domestic film channel selected by China Film Group.

"Director Nolan, this is your first time in China. What do you want to say to the fans here?"

The director next to him quickly translated the host's question to Nolan.

Hearing this, Nolan said with a smile.

“Huaxia is a country full of wonders. I don’t know much about it, but Director Gu Wei was born here, which made me curious about this land.

At the same time, I am very grateful to the fans who came to the scene. Believe me, this movie will not disappoint everyone."

The reporter then asked a few more questions about the box office, and Nolan's answers were very humble.

Leonardo tonight is wearing black clothes and has a slicked back hair. Compared to twelve years ago when "Titanic" entered the mainland, he is now full of the charm of a mature man.

"Leon, I love you."

"Leon, welcome to China."

As soon as he got out of the car, Leonardo heard a loud shout.

The translator who accompanied him kept talking beside him, and Leonardo waved with a smile on his face.

"Crystal, where is Gu?"

After signing, taking photos and interviews, Leonardo and Liu Yifei entered the venue. He was also looking around, searching for Gu Wei.

"They are all waiting inside, and there are thousands of viewers who will watch the movie with us tonight."

Liu Yifei was wearing a white long dress and had delicate makeup on her face, and she spoke in a low voice.

"Oh, it's unbelievable. I didn't expect that I have so many fans in China."

Arriving at the entrance, the main creative team gathered together and headed towards the inside of the stadium.

Fans on the seats on both sides shouted everyone's names from time to time, and several people waved in response.

After the main creative staff greeted Gu Wei, Han Sanping and others, they sat in the first row. Other celebrity artists took their seats one after another according to their status.

As the host Xie Nan came on stage and introduced the basic information of "Inception", the premiere celebration officially began.

There must be a performance at the opening, and China Film invited many group photos to go on stage and show off their singing skills.

Originally, Han Sanping arranged for Gu Wei to go on stage and give a speech, but he refused.

To be honest, with such a big scene and so many guests and audiences coming to support it, it doesn't make much sense to brag a little more or less at this moment.

Gu Wei left the stage to Nolan and others.

The performance and interview sessions ended and the movie viewing session officially began.

At the beginning of the movie, the logos of Warner Bros., Tomorrow's Star Pictures, and China Film Group Corporation appeared one after another, followed by the main film.

In terms of attribute definition, "Inception" belongs to the suspense (brain-burning) series, and its most brain-burning aspects have two aspects.

First, how to construct a dream, the time ratio, how to wake up, and whether it is theoretically feasible...

Second, how do you distinguish between reality and dreams, what dangers there are, and how do you understand the final outcome...

Cobb was awakened by the waves on the beach. The guard who caught Cobb said to an old man:
"He is already unconscious, but he still wants to see you."

Cobb was then brought to a weathered old man by the guards. The old man looked at the spinning top in front of him and said, "I know what this is. I saw it on a man a long time ago. We met in a dream."

After saying this, Cobb suddenly looked up, his eyes full of spirit, and stopped eating.

"I feel like it's a bit hard to understand." Some spectators in the stadium were already whispering.

"The script was provided by Director Gu, so it should be fine. Let's continue reading it."

Someone nearby spoke.

The flow rate of time in dreams is different from that in reality, and the flow rate ratio between dreams and reality is different for each person, which is related to the activity level of the cerebral cortex.

Under normal circumstances, when no potions are used, the time flow rate ratio for each layer is 12 to 1. That is, one day in reality corresponds to 1 days in Dream 12 and 2 days in Dream 144.

However, when the dosage of sedatives increases, the activity of the cerebral cortex accelerates and this ratio will be increased to about 20.

As the film played, many people began to understand the meaning of the dream within a dream.

"Awesome, worthy of being a famous Hollywood director, one layer after another, you can't understand it unless you look carefully."

Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang, who were preparing to shoot "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Aftershock", watched and talked.

"Director Gu is really amazing. I don't know how he came up with such a script. Nolan is also amazing. He was able to understand it perfectly and film it."

Throughout the entire plot of the movie, in every dream and memory of Cobb, he wears a silver ring on his left hand, but in reality Cobb does not have a ring. In the last scene and after waking up on the plane, there is no ring on Cobb's left hand either, which proves that this scene is a real scene.

Of course, this could be a bug, or it could be a suspense left behind. It depends on how the audience understands it.
