Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

December 22, 2013.

Christmas season.

Gravity was released in 4,236 theaters across the United States.

Among them, there are 2,300 3D theaters. (It is a theater, not a theater.)

Among these 2,300 3D theaters, there are 700 IMAX-3D theaters. These 3D theaters will be a huge booster for the box office of Gravity.

…………

In front of Huaxia Grand Theater.

The red carpet for the premiere was laid out, and the stars walked on it one by one, attracting flashes of light.

In the banquet hall.

When James Cameron saw Martin, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are so fast, aren't you? You finished shooting a sci-fi film like Gravity in less than a year, and it was released. Let me think, you started shooting in February, right?"

Martin nodded and said, "It was in February, but the preparations started last year, so strictly speaking, it took more than a year."

"That's fast, anyway, I can't imagine it." James Cameron shook his head.

The vice president of 20th Century Fox smiled and complimented: "Martin's high efficiency in filming is well known, and he is not only efficient, but also of high quality, which is the most incredible."

"I suspect you are referring to 910 me?" James Cameron glanced at him with his eyes slanted.

Recently, whenever James Cameron attends an event with Martin, there must be a senior executive of 20th Century Fox following him. How afraid are they that James Cameron will be kidnapped by Martin!

There is no way. The main reason is that when investing in "Avatar", 20th Century Fox did not perform as well as Martin, and James Cameron has praised Martin's courage and ability many times in public, which made them feel guilty.

Steve Spielberg also came over, accompanied by George Lucas, who had sold his company and was ready to retire.

Steve Spielberg smiled and said to Martin: "I heard that you used a lot of new technologies in this film, so I dragged George to come and enjoy it."

George Lucas shook hands with Martin and jokingly said to Spielberg: "Old man, you have to admit that you are old. Can you still play with new technologies? Why don't you learn from me and enjoy life in retirement."

"Go away, I'm not old. I still have strong curiosity and creativity. I'm not even 70 years old. I'm not an old guy like you." Spielberg retorted.

Spielberg is indeed an energetic old man, and he is also very receptive to new film technologies.

In the original timeline, this guy shot the sci-fi adventure film "Ready Player One" at the age of 72 in 2018, and it was a big hit at the box office. Since then, he has been active in the film industry as a producer and is an evergreen in Hollywood.

Christopher Nolan also came, and Bale was with him.

Although the two did not meet because of the "Batman Trilogy" in this life, Nolan still chose Bale when filming "Interstellar".

Perhaps there is really a kind of fate between people that attracts each other.

To put it bluntly, it's just that they like each other.

"Interstellar" was released in August this year. At that time, Martin was in New York accompanying his mother Jennifer Aniston and did not attend the premiere, but it was said that the day was very lively.

It's normal. After all, Nolan is also a famous director, and people in the circle still give him face.

"Interstellar" was released in early December, with a global box office of 820 million US dollars, which once again proved Nolan's strength, and Bale also became popular.

Nolan walked over with Bale.

"Hi, Martin, this is Belle. Belle, this is Martin."

"Hello, Belle."

"Hello, Mr. Meyers."

"Call me Martin."

"Okay, you can call me Chris, too."

Bell seemed a little shy.

As an artistic guy, Christian Belle actually has a high status in the circle, but he always feels a little uncomfortable and can't let go when facing Martin.

Martin smiled and shook his hand, "Man, I saw your performance in "The Machinist". My God, you are so thin! I was thinking at the time, this actor is really dedicated, he is acting with his life."

Martin knows how to chat.

Bell smiled.

"The Machinist" is his most proud work.

Although he didn't win any important awards, it was with this movie that he won the recognition of the mainstream Hollywood circle and got more opportunities.

"Did you really lose 110 pounds in just half a month?"

"Not really. It was for publicity. I spent a total of three months losing weight, eating only a can of tuna and an apple a day."

"Three months, wow, that's also amazing."

…………

It was 8:30 in the evening.

The movie started.

Bell had heard Nolan mention Martin's new movie a long time ago, and Nolan always praised it, but Bell had reservations.

Because Nolan only judged that this movie must be a classic based on Martin's script and the use of technology.

But Bell has his own opinion.

He thinks that the quality of a movie depends on how the director shoots it - there are many cases in Hollywood where good scripts are ruined by directors.

Bell has seen all of Martin's previous movies. He has read a lot of movies, and the most profound impression Martin has on him is his diverse style.

Biographical films, superhero films, and thrillers all seem to be within his grasp, and the pure science fiction film "Gravity" should be the first one.

In Bale's opinion, "District 9" should be classified as a drama film, where the actors' performances account for a larger proportion, and the science fiction elements are actually just a spur..

I wonder how Martin will perform this time when he changes to another genre?

Bell is a little curious.

And it's not just Bell who is curious, there are also film critics scattered in major theaters.

Kevin Thomas, who has been promoted to deputy editor of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, sat in the sixth row of the audience seats at the Huaxia Grand Theater, looking at the big screen with anticipation.

Martin's first pure science fiction film is said to have used a lot of new technologies. I wonder what it will look like?

Several theater representatives who attended the preview revealed that this movie can make people feel deeply shocked and frightened.

Shock is understandable, but why is it fear?

Is it a science fiction film of the fear type?

Kevin Thomas is extremely curious.

The logo of Meyers Films flashed.

Then the screen went black, and the dark and vast universe appeared in front of all the audience.

The voice-over sounded.

"600 kilometers above the Earth. The temperature fluctuates between +258 and -148 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no medium for sound transmission, no atmospheric pressure, and no oxygen. Life cannot survive in space..."

The camera began to rotate, giving people a floating feeling, making the audience wearing 3D glasses feel as if they are in the vast space.

Then, a blue planet almost occupied the entire field of vision of the audience.
