Walking into the screening hall, Tom Cruise quickly glanced at the auditorium, and there were almost no vacant seats, "This is the call from Ryan Gosling, Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron force."

"Nicole, you made the right choice in this movie." Tom Cruise sat down and said sideways to his wife Nicole Kidman.

Nicole Kidman shrugged, "Nobody in Hollywood can say no to a Ryan Gosling movie."

"Indeed." Tom Cruise nodded, "Not everyone has the qualifications to say the expected $800 million worldwide box office."

Speaking of this, Tom Cruise couldn't help but feel a little sad. The expected global box office of 800 million US dollars can make everyone stunned, and even treat it as a joke.

But Ryan Gosling has this qualification.

"Okay, stop talking, the film will start soon." Nicole Kidman shook her head, stopping Tom Cruise from continuing to talk.

Not long after, the opening title of Orion Films flashed by, and the screening of "Inception" officially began.

Almost at the same time, 3,500 movie theaters in North America poured in a large number of audiences and walked into the screening halls one after another.

Most of them are young people.

At the beginning of the film, Leonardo DiCaprio is lying on the beach by the sea, and two little girls are playing not far away.

Next, the film introduces a brand new profession, which has a very strange name "Dream Stealer".

Every dream stealer can enter the depths of other people's dreams and easily obtain various important business intelligence.

Dom Cobb, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is a dream stealer, and the best dream stealer in the business,

He can sneak into the most fragile dreams of people, steal any valuable memory in the subconscious, often can obtain many secrets that cannot be detected, and even implant and tamper with memory.

However, because of subconscious interference from his late wife Mo'er, he failed to steal the information needed by his employer, and thus faced the danger of being killed within two days.

In order to save his life, he had to accept the employment of the wealthy Japanese businessman Saito to perform an almost impossible task.

As a result, a powerful team was formed, including "Pretender" Eames, "Pharmacist" Yusuf, and "Dreammaker" Ariadni.

At the same time, he is also a kind of redemption, as long as he completes the last task, he can go home to see his daughter.

The plot of the whole story is not complicated, even very simple, far less complicated than written in the script.

The plots in mainstream Hollywood commercial films are almost all very straightforward, without any redundant content, and the film goes straight to the point from the beginning.

Of course, "Inception" is different from mainstream commercial films. The plot setting is very clever and often unexpected.

After just watching the beginning, Tom Cruise couldn't help but sighed, "Obviously, this is an outstanding film, Ryan constructed a real world in the film, a world belonging to Dream Thieves." real world."

Nicole Kidman nodded lightly, "The plot of "Inception" is hard to describe in words. Anyone who sees it for the first time will be shocked by the world constructed inside."

Movies like this generally have only two results, one is the box office smash, like the movie produced by New Line Pictures last year, and the other is the box office hit.

Obviously "Inception" belongs to the latter.

George Lucas, on the other side of the guest seat, stared at the screen, "Leonardo DiCaprio's emotional expression seems to be a little bit worse, Charlize Theron is obviously more explosive .”

"This is an actress with great potential."

"As for Ryan!"

He revealed a hint of contemplation, "There is no doubt that Ryan's directing level is as good as ever."

"No, it's even better than ever."

On the big screen, what really attracts the audience is not the acting skills of Leonardo DiCaprio and Charlize Theron, but the plot setting of the entire film.

Ryan perfectly constructed a brand new world through his own unique narrative technique, coupled with various visual effects, as well as the wonderful acting skills of Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron and others, and finally created "Inception" on the screen.

"$800 million at the box office may not be impossible," George Lucas said to himself.

Robin Grande on the side looked at George Lucas in surprise, "How is this possible?"

"I admit that this film is very interesting, but the global box office of 800 million US dollars is almost an impossible expectation."

Apart from The Phantom Menace, which is currently in theaters, only four films have grossed more than $800 million worldwide, and Inception wants to be one of them unless it becomes another Star Wars prequel first: The Phantom Menace".

"Because this is Ryan Gosling's movie." George Lucas said lightly without looking back.

Robin Grande was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Ryan Gosling's box office achievements in the past, and subconsciously nodded.

There are only a handful of directors in Hollywood who have this ability and confidence, and Ryan Gosling is one of them.

In recent years, every film directed by Ryan Gosling has been a box office hit, and "Terminator 3" is among the top ten in the global box office list.

The expectation of a global box office of 800 million US dollars may not be impossible to achieve.

He gradually realized one thing, Ryan Gosling has already left other Hollywood directors behind, and only a few directors such as George Lucas can compare with him.

"$800 million Box Office Expectations!"

"You're sure you're not joking!"

Charlize Theron moved a little closer, lowered her voice and said, "When I faced the reporter's question just now, I didn't even know how to answer."

Not only Charlize Theron didn't know how to return, but Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicole Kidman also didn't know how to answer.

Even the senior management of Orion Films hesitated for a long time, and did not explain how to calculate the expected box office of 800 million US dollars.

"Of course I'm not joking."

Ryan looked at her and said very seriously: "My global box office expectation for "Inception" is at least US$800 million."

Not that Ryan is megalomaniac, the original Inception made $830 million worldwide, so his global box office estimate is at least $800 million.

Of course, expectations are only expectations, and no one is sure how much box office "Inception" will eventually get.

"Have you thought about making a sequel?" Charlize Theron glanced at Ryan beside him.

Once it really meets Ryan's expectations, "Inception" will achieve unprecedented success, enough to be recorded in the history of Hollywood science fiction films.

Orion Pictures could shoot a sequel while it's hot.

"I don't have that idea for now." Ryan replied softly.

For the time being, he doesn't have enough energy to prepare for the filming of a sequel to "Inception". A series of superhero film shooting plans will be the focus of Orion Pictures in the future.

There are no plans for an Inception sequel, at least until the Avengers are assembled on screen.

"Is it because of "Spider-Man"? Or "Avengers"!" Charlize-Theron knew that Ryan had been planning to film "Spider-Man~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and put a group of Avengers on the big screen.

"In the future, Orion Pictures will focus on superhero films." Ryan did not answer directly.

"I really want to see the Avengers appear on the big screen sooner." Charlize Theron sighed with emotion.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like to put a group of Avengers on the big screen, and it would definitely shock all Hollywood film companies.

It's a pity that her positioning is not suitable for superhero movies, and among the female superheroes under Marvel Comics, there is no suitable character for her.

Of course, for a long time, "The Avengers" was only a plan on paper.

With the gradual development of the plot in the film, various incredible visual effects appear, such as inverted cities, unparalleled spatial changes, resurrection from the dead and so on.

Scenes that have never appeared in Hollywood live-action movies appear one after another in the film, which makes the audience exclaim, fantasizing about becoming a dream stealer, doing whatever they want in dream worlds.
