With the end of the 81st Oscar Party, the entertainment industry in 2008 has finally come to an end. Everyone is in a good mood and ready to be busy with the things in 2009.

According to the past practice, Oscar is followed by various disputes, such as Oscar's love for the poor and his treatment of Benjamin; For example, heath defeated the strong and captured the film emperor award. It seems that he is not persuasive enough. There are all those who praise and sing bad, but they are not afraid of all kinds of attacks and criticism from the media.

In fact, from the scale of the whole award ceremony, scene design and even the topics discussed by the host, the impact of the financial tsunami on Hollywood is obvious. Before the ceremony, the scale of the avenue of stars was obviously reduced a lot.

Due to the difficulty of finding sponsors, the conference spared no effort to advertise fashion designers and jewelry brands through the star interview link. This kind of practice of respecting, lowering prices and lowering body shape was rarely seen in the past. The whole stage design and seat design of Kodak Theater also avoided luxury shops, and the audience seats were only a few steps away from the award stage, It gives the audience a feeling of professional and emotional communication between the industry rather than dressing up to watch a luxurious "award stage show".

With the help of the Oscar, mm further expanded his fame and influence. After the Oscar, mark was ready to end his vacation and take over the production of "heart pounding". Its main team had gathered. When Mark gave the order, he could start work.

But then something happened that disrupted all Mark's plans.

Mark worked out the production and distribution plan for 2009 before Yuan Shi. There are still five blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million, plus a number of small and medium-sized productions, and films produced by other film companies. A total of 25 films are distributed, which is the average number per year.

Other companies need producers, accountants and accountants to meet and discuss repeatedly before they can make a decision. In mm, mark makes a decision in one word. He makes a decision and the following people implement it.

But before leaving, mark made an appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan. Mark was talking to them about their play foundation stone laying.

Few people know the other name of foundation laying, inception, which is like Lei Guaner. The original inception, starring Xiao Lizi and Oscar winning actress Marion Cotillard, has been the box office champion (summer) of beimi for three consecutive weeks after its official release. According to the score on IMDB website, the film scored a super high score of 9.3 points (out of 10 points), It ranks the third most popular film in the history rated by the website, second only to Shawshank Redemption and the godfather. What's more amazing is that its box office has reached an amazing 900 million.

It tells about the emergence of a new technology in the near future, which can let people enter other people's dreams, so as to spy on other people's privacy and steal important information. The protagonist is the CEO of a company, and his job is to try to invade other people's dreams to steal and extract information. If necessary, he will carry out further memory transplantation and tamper with his memory.

As a pioneer dream thief, there is naturally a team behind him, including a young technical genius. She is a crucial "dream architect" in this team. The danger has gradually approached. One day, the protagonist's wife was invaded into the dream in her sleep, so she was trapped in the dream and couldn't wake up. The man behind all this threatened the protagonist to invade a rich businessman's dream and implant memory to let the rich businessman cut and split his company, which is almost an impossible task.

This work was jointly written by Chris Nolan and his brother Jonathan. Soon after the script was written, they have completed the split shot script. Of course, they hope to get MM's investment. However, because Slumdog Millionaire is expanding its release with the spring breeze of Oscar, they hope to talk to mark when there are enough chips after the final box office, Because the investment in this film is hard to say, it may take more than 100 million to win.

Nolan said: "the foundation laying will not be a typical science fiction film, but a" contemporary action science fiction film occurring in the structure of consciousness ". It tells not the future world, but the current real world. A new biological information technology has been developed to allow people to enter other people's hearts, thoughts or dreams by injection. It is very similar to others to some extent The matrix or the minority report. "

Mark said, "the hero's name is Cobb. It's a strange name."

"Its pronunciation is the same as that of" dream "in Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi," Nolan said

Mark said, "the ending is a dream."

NORAN was stunned and said, "what?"

Mark said: "The ending is terrible. He has left the child for several years. Why has the child not changed at all when he comes home? Why does Mel appear in the protagonist's dream all the time? My terrible conclusion is that the protagonist never wakes up from the beginning to the end! Because the protagonist has been in Mel's dream, Mel kills and stops him every time just to let the protagonist know This is a dream! Tell the protagonist that this is not true, which is what Mel has always emphasized in the whole film, because the protagonist can't extricate himself in Mel's dream. My conclusion is that the protagonist and Mel dream together, but the deeper they make, the outcome is that the protagonist can't extricate himself, and also gave Mel a hint in the dream that this is a dream. Instead, Mel committed suicide in the dream, and then the heroine returns In reality, Cobb is still dreaming, and the most frightening thing is that Cobb is still dreaming again! "

"Mel appears in Cobb's dream all the time to remind Cobb that this is a dream, not a reality! So Cobb has been meeting Mel in dreams and dreams in movies. Mel always comes to destroy the hero's dream and tell the hero that this is not a reality. Only death can return to reality! But Cobb has never admitted that it is in a dream! Mel can only Destroy his dream again and again. Anyway, up to now, I always think Mel is really dead and killed by the man I love. "

"And he lingered in the dream forever, and Cobb untied the knot in his heart because Mel sacrificed himself! So the end was that Mel was killed by the hero in his fourth layer dream, so Mel lingered in the dream forever! But Cobb couldn't wake up because the heroine died, but he untied the knot in his heart, so he returned to" reality " At home, I saw the child, but the child didn't grow up. It hasn't grown up for several years. The result is terrible and cruel. "

The Nolan brothers are very happy. Mark can interpret these, which shows that he has read the script very seriously and made research and analysis. Only then can he come to the conclusion that an excellent film can be interpreted in many ways under the surface interpretation.

Nolan said: "Through the ambiguous ending, you can see that Cobb's real life is very similar to his dream, that is, you should doubt Cobb. Cobb doesn't need to know the truth whether the top falls or not, because he has been reunited with the children. This is very important. No matter what way, they are reunited, both in dream and reality , it doesn't matter. "

Mark nodded: "it's a bit like a new life in the matrix. It exists in another form, but it seems to burn the brain. The audience can't understand it and won't buy it."

Brain burning films are indeed popular if they are logically correct and can be seen clearly, but if they can't be seen clearly, they will make people confused. This is a big bad film. Brain burning films have very high requirements for directors and screenwriters.

NORAN brothers also have concerns. The special effects of this project are the key. Only by fully showing the arbitrary control in their dream, the audience will buy the collapse of Paris street and the rotating corridor, and have a sense of substitution. The planned investment is more than 100 million. The prospect is good! It seems that there are few successful examples. It is not easy to persuade them to invest more than 100 million.

Nolan said: "this film is experimental and risky, but what we are going to make is an unprecedented and different work. Maybe it will become another hacker empire."

Mark said, "who do you want to play Cobb?"

Nolan said: "I hope it's Leonardo DiCaprio or HeathLedger. The heroine is Eva Green. Of course, this is only a preliminary idea."

Mark said, "I believe you can make an excellent work! I agree to invest in this film, but I need a more detailed and executable plan and budget to decide the amount of investment."

Christopher Nolan's director, Jonathan Nolan's screenwriter and producer, and Emma Thomas's producer form the Nolan family. The main power of the crew is concentrated on them, making Slumdog Millionaire At that time, they set up a production company. At that time, no one paid attention to it, but now it is quite popular. Many companies shake olive branches to them, but they are as smart as NORAN. Naturally, they hold MM's thigh tightly. Mark is forthright, in the slum After a big victory, They rewarded Nolan's production company with $5 million, far exceeding their pay, which made them very satisfied, so they looked forward to the next cooperation.

Mark's satisfaction is that he is willing to delegate power. Working here has the resources and facilities of large companies, and there are no rules of large companies. It's very comfortable.

The happy mark also invited several members of the Nolan family to lunch, but Louise came in a little flustered. She said, "we're in trouble!"

Mark was a little upset and said, "what's so flustered?"
