Chatty Hollywood

In the end, the release date of "Inception" was set in May.

"Anyway, more than half of your movies are released around Memorial Day, and they generally achieve a dominant position."

Charles Rowan said to Charlotte with a look like "We have done statistics,"

"In this case, there is enough time, then "Inception" will be released on this day - this can be regarded as your main schedule!"

"Yeah?"

Charlotte did the math with some disbelief, and found that it was really——

Starting with "The Turn", many of his films are indeed released around Memorial Day in North America.

"So, I'm actually a necromancer!?"

Charlotte complained about herself.

——In the end, the matter was settled like this.

******

As for the movie "Inception", Charlotte fans have actually been looking forward to it for a long time.

After all, according to Charlotte's past production rate of one film a year, the post-production time for this "Inception" is simply too long.

——This is either going to happen, or it is a sincere and meticulous work!

Considering Charlotte's past credibility, everyone basically thinks it's the latter.

Under this circumstance, everyone's expectations for "Inception" are very high.

And when Spectre Studios and Warner announced the release date, fans were immediately ignited——

All kinds of speculations and predictions are flying around the Internet.

What's more important is that the booking of tickets for the premiere of "Inception" suddenly became popular on the Internet.

——Although in recent years, despite the development of the Internet, online booking has increasingly become an important way to sell movie tickets.

But this is the first time that bookings for "Inception" began to surge as soon as the date was announced...

"It seems that everyone's expectations for "Inception" are very high!"

Natalie Portman muttered to herself after refreshing several times before entering the ticket booking website.

——As a Harvard top student studying psychology, even if there is some water in it, Natalie still learned a lot.

She knew very well that this meant how high Charlotte Booth's box office appeal was as a director and a behind-the-scenes worker in the film and television industry.

We also know how everyone's emotions will reverse once the quality of "Inception" fails to meet everyone's expectations.

——So, she was also curious about what this movie was like.

However, Warner's tone this time is very tight.

Although an advance viewing meeting for film critics was held, the reviews released by film critics basically contained no spoilers.

——But it was overwhelmingly positive.

Even Charlotte Booth starred as the male protagonist and played a couple with her wife Charlize Theron in the movie. This behavior was previously praised by many as seeking death.

Now it has also been praised by film critics——

“It’s unbelievable how deep and sincere the feelings are!”

"A performance with rich layers and endless aftertaste..."

"She has shown unimaginable masculine charm. Charlotte might as well become an actress!"

... comments that can almost be described as "licking" gave Natalie a thorough understanding of the integrity of film critics.

And her mother, who has more contact with some producers and is more familiar with the operating rules of Hollywood, told Natalie that this means that the internal screening of "Inception" will definitely receive a very good response, so it will be unlocked in advance. So many movie reviews.

——If the reviews from film critics are generally unfavorable, then the common practice of large-scale commercial production distributors is to try to block comments first, even until one or two days after the release.

In this way, we can first deceive a wave of audiences and box office through preliminary publicity, and then see if the film critics may be wrong.

After all, this kind of thing has happened many times, the most famous one is "Star Wars"...

As for her mother's words, Natalie was also dubious.

She has been in Hollywood for many years now and is a young girl in her twenties, so she naturally has her own opinions.

But she also had to admit that judging from the situation, the chances of "Inception" being successful at the box office should be getting higher and higher.

Especially when Roger Ebert's film review was released two days before the premiere of "Inception"...

*******

"I didn't expect that Roger would rate "Inception" so highly!"

As a girl who wants to achieve something in the Oscars, Natalie naturally knows about Roger Ebert, a film critic who has won the Pulitzer Prize.

In fact, she knew very well that although Roger Ebert was not the kind of film critic who was particularly harsh on commercial films, he also felt that he was not the type who particularly liked commercial films like Kenneth Turan.

And when two such famous film critics sing the praises of the same commercial film, it speaks volumes.

"It seems that Charlotte Booth is indeed a very high-level director! My next film appointment with him should be the right choice!"

Natalie thought to herself.

——Yes, after the persuasion of her mother, Mrs. Heshler, Natalie Portman decided to try her best to get a role in the Charlotte movie.

——Even though it is not a huge production, but more like an experimental film, and it is two films shot in one.

And her proactive attitude seemed to be favored by Charlotte Booth.

Therefore, she passed the audition some time ago and got the role of the heroine in "Blackjack".

At the same time, she will also be the heroine in "Now You See Me".

Her partner is a new actor named Jesse Eisenberg.

——In other words, excluding the possible guest appearances of some big-name actors, Natalie is probably the most popular actor in these two movies.

This made Natalie feel more comfortable.

Of course, Natalie also knew that there were many master-level behind-the-scenes personnel in Charlotte Booth's crew, so her position would not allow her to receive any preferential treatment.

However, people would always rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail!

And now, the increasingly obvious signs of success of "Inception" have given Natalie more confidence——

"I hope my mother and I made the right choice!"

Natalie muttered.

But at the same time, she was a little curious about what some film critics said in their comments that the movie "Inception" is best watched on the IMAX big screen.

"Other than the IMAX screen being bigger and clearer, there shouldn't be any difference, right?"

So skeptical, but in the end, Natalie decided to watch the special IMAX version of "Inception"...
