American fame and fortune

Today, Nolan has become a signature brand of high-end commercial films.

A "Dark Knight" and a "Inception" made Nolan a god in the hearts of countless movie fans.

Nolan can be said to be a typical star director of this era. Together with Martin as the leading actor, he is hailed as a golden combination in movies and has huge market appeal.

Since mid-June, the crew and creative staff, including Martin and Nolan, have been interviewed frequently on TV or in magazines.

The so-called "brain-burning science fiction masterpiece of the year" has also been hyped in promotional announcements.

At the same time, there are also so-called movie viewing guides that are widely circulated.

Similar to "Inception" back then, "Interstellar" has not yet been released, and related physics science popularization and expert analysis are bombarding all major online platforms at the rhythm of the screen.

The promotional video for "Interstellar" rarely shows scenes from the movie.

In the last trailer released in July, Martin's voiceover was paired with a large number of real aerospace archive footage from NASA and SpaceX, which also attracted a large number of aerospace fans.

Warner Pictures has full confidence in the combination of Nolang and Martin. As the film is approaching release, all aspects of the film's promotion are overwhelming.

"Nolan and Martin's new film creates a cosmic wonder!"

"In "Interstellar," the wonders of black holes are scientifically presented on the big screen for the first time, creating the most breathtaking visual effects in film history!"

"Martin, who was rescued in space last time, shoulders the destiny of saving mankind this time, performing a different kind of romance that is rational and rigorous!"

After the Independence Day holiday, Warner Bros. Pictures held a grand premiere for "Interstellar" in Los Angeles.

There was a huge crowd in front of the Dolby Theater.

In order to create a buzz and show off, at Nolan's suggestion, Martin, Nolan, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain walked on the red carpet of the premiere together.

The fans shouted everyone's name almost crazily. When the four people stood in the media area, the flash on the camera turned the sunset into the blazing midday sun.

Jessica Chastain turned her back to the camera, showing off her beautiful white back.

Martin suddenly discovered that compared to Jessica Chastain, who was older than her actual age, Anne Hathaway on the other side looked older.

Especially when I smile, my crow's feet are too obvious.

After taking routine photos, Martin and Nolan walked in front and entered the Dolby Theater together.

The two of them were chatting about Oscar competition while walking.

When it comes to Oscars, Nolan is not immune, so he chose the very politically correct theme Dunkirk evacuation for his next project.

"I heard that the first movie you directed has started post-production?" Nolan asked.

Martin said: “Louise was in charge later on.”

Nolan became interested and said with a smile: "Maybe one day, we will become opponents at the Oscars."

Martin thought for a while, maybe one day, he said: "Chris, the gap between me and you is too big in terms of directing."

Although he learned a lot from Nolan, he only learned a small part of his directing ability. On the contrary, Martin learned 70% to 70% of Nolan's marketing master side.

If this happens, Martin may not even be considered a match for Nolan if he is just trying to make movies.

Nolan came over and asked: "What about your next directed project? Do you have any plans?"

Martin only revealed it to Louise, but when Nolan asked, he still said a few more words: "If you don't direct "Joker", I plan to give it a try myself."

Nolan said seriously: ""The Dark Knight Rises" will be my last superhero movie."

Martin was not surprised and did not continue the topic.

The group entered the VIP room. Daniel, the president of Warner Pictures, greeted Nolan and immediately came to see Martin: "Let's have a few words alone."

Martin followed him to a less crowded place.

The two have experienced cooperation, split and then cooperation. It can be said that they are very familiar with each other. Daniel asked directly: "Aren't you going to collaborate with Nolan on his next film?"

Martin said: "The theme of his next film is the evacuation of Dunkirk. There will be no male protagonist, and all the main roles are planned to be played by British actors."

"That's it." Daniel was a little worried about the market prospects.

World War II-themed movies have not performed well commercially in Hollywood in recent years, and audiences no longer seem to appreciate the so-called humanistic care and reflection.

Hollywood’s method of reflection is not easy to use in North America.

Especially in recent years, there have been an increasing number of views that "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List" are overly sensational.

Daniel roughly guessed what Nolan was thinking: "For the Oscar?"

Martin smiled: "You should discuss the details with Director Nolan. Warner Bros. is still his first choice."

Daniel nodded, but frowned when he left, because the market prospects for this type of film are not very good, even if the director is Christopher Nolan.

He would rather want Nolan to continue to cooperate with Martin and continue to make science fiction movies, even original science fiction movies.

But when a director reaches the level of Nolan, just like an actor reaches the level of Martin and Leonardo, the studio can no longer force it.

Hollywood is no longer a one-stop shop.

Musk, the fat white man who had been waiting for a long time, saw that there was no one around Martin and came over.

The female companion holding his arm was neither Amber Heard nor Dalulla Riley, who was remarried to him, but a stranger.

Musk didn't mean to introduce it, but spoke directly to Martin: "Man, congratulations on the North American box office of "John Wick 3" exceeding 500 million US dollars. If I had known it was so popular, I would have guest-starred as the villain."

This guy has many fans online and acts in a very high-profile manner. Martin continued: "The next part of the series, "New York Continental Hotel," will start filming soon. If you are interested, you can make a guest appearance on the set."

Musk was very interested in this: "Leave me your contact information."

Martin left Chad Starsky's contact information with him and said: "Tesla is very popular recently, and the stock price is rising very fast."

"What does this mean?" Musk never lacks confidence: "I operate well!"

He smiled so hard that the flesh on his face was shaking: "What I promised you is correct, right? Every dollar you invest in Tesla has achieved at least a tenfold increase!"

“Hopefully it goes up tenfold,” Martin said.

Musk vowed: "It will definitely happen."

Martin deliberately looked like he believed in him.

When Martin invested in Tesla in 2012, Tesla's market value was only $3.2 billion.

What now? The market capitalization reached nearly US$33 billion.

Martin made two investments of US$50 million in Tesla. Together with the stocks purchased on the secondary market, the investment with the lowest increase was more than ten times.

The two chatted about investment for a while, and a staff member came over to remind them that the premiere screening was about to begin.

Musk left the lounge first with his female companion.

Martin gathered the creative team and followed Nolan and Emma Thomas into the screening hall.

Although "Interstellar" is an original film that prefers a hard science fiction style, due to the strong market appeal of Martin and Nolan, the Dolby Theater tonight was full of seats.

In the entire Hollywood director circle, Nolan's fan madness definitely ranks first, and no other director can match it.

From the moment the crew entered the theater to everyone taking their seats in the front row, the waves of applause in the Dolby Theater never stopped.

It wasn't until the lights on the ceiling went out that the theater returned to silence.

Perhaps in order to create a sense of reality, the film adopts a pseudo-documentary approach at the beginning, with some old people describing the crisis the earth is experiencing.

The earth is experiencing extreme climate, food crisis and widespread death of plants caused by blight. The end is approaching. The only remaining team of NASA and SpaceX found the hero and asked him to lead the last team through the planet near Saturn. Wormholes, looking for potentially habitable planets.

At first glance, this appears to be an interstellar adventure science fiction epic.

From time to space to wormholes, everything shown in the picture gives people a sense of shock.

But essentially, it's still a Hollywood cliché.

Such as family and affection.

It turns out that love saves everything.

I can’t say whether this is good or bad, but under the shocking scenes, such an old-fashioned theme will definitely cause the film to cause some controversy.

Of course, Nolan insisted on using IMAX cameras to shoot and refused to use 3D images. The effect is indeed so good that it can be called "one of the most beautiful space images in the history of movies."

The visual effects and the boo-boo of a black hole are enough to attract many viewers to go to the theater to watch this space blockbuster.

Another point is that time, space and thinking logic have always been one of the selling points of Nolan's films. This time he threw his ambitions for time and space directly into the vast universe.

As for the true and false physics and space theories, it is hard to say how much the audience can understand.

The experience of the past few decades shows that the more difficult a film is to be understood by a majority of the audience, the worse its commercial performance will be.

Some movies, even if they are blown up by some fan groups, will still take more than ten or twenty years to recover the cost.

When "Interstellar" ended, there was thunderous applause.

In fact, many viewers don't understand the things in space at all.

But most of the people who attended the premiere were die-hard fans of Martin and Nolan. Even if they didn't understand it, they would still say that the film was well shot and very exciting.

Even those who dare to express their opinions and say that they don't understand or are being mystified will immediately be criticized as brainless, idiots and idiots, saying that these are problems with your IQ, not the movie.

Especially die-hard Nolan fans.

Similar situations have been played out three times in the IMDB wars and social media wars of "The Dark Knight", "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises".

Nolan took Martin and other crew members on stage to take the curtain call, and in addition to the still warm applause, he also won a round of cheers.

When the premiere ended, the crew and creative staff were the first to leave.

In the front hall where the audience left the show, multiple staff members from Warner Pictures conducted a random questionnaire survey.

Nolan's fans spoke enthusiastically, expressing their love and admiration for Nolan's movies in the questionnaire feedback.

"It's really so magnificent that I can't describe it in words. I burst into tears at the end."

"Can I give 100 stars? Can I give 100 stars to "Interstellar"? It's full of awe, for the universe, for the movie, and for director Nolan!"

“My friend asked me why my knees hurt, because I watched the entire movie on my knees!”

"I'm so shocked that I don't know what to say now."

Just as Nolan's fans were expressing their excitement, some enthusiastic fans passing nearby shouted loudly: "God-like Nolan!"

"Nolan, you are my faith!"

Facing Nolan's film, ardent fans seem to have lost their minds.

There may be directors in Hollywood who have more fans than Nolan, but they will never have as many fanatical supporters as Nolan.

Not to mention the director, even Martin's fans are not so enthusiastic.

This may also be related to the fact that Martin does more shabby things in his daily life. He is constantly breaking the filter of God-making.

Scandals about Martin are flying everywhere, and the trio of bastards are notorious...

Just like no one would worship Leonardo and Nicholson as gods.

Not long after Martin left the theater, he received a message forwarded from Thomas, and the live audience scores calculated by Warner Pictures were released.

An expected "A+".

In addition, there is one more number - an average of 97 points!

Such statistics also gave Warner Pictures so much confidence that it lifted the ban on "Interstellar" that night.

The next morning, the IMDB score was released, starting at an astonishing 9.6 points!

This is better than the starting scores of "The Dark Knight" and "Inception"!

It just shows that Nolan is being deified.

In stark contrast, Rotten Tomatoes’ Rotten Tomatoes collection of column film reviews has a freshness rating of only 78%!

This number is not bad, but compared to the Rotten Tomatoes reputation of past Nolan films, it can only be said to be average.

"Hollywood Report" said: Martin Davis' performance is as outstanding as ever, and the Oscar nomination for Best Actor is beckoning to Martin again, but director Nolan is lost in space. The plot of the movie is unattractive and relies entirely on high concepts. And Martin's performance holds up.

"Empire" believes that director Nolan's new film is too fettered by secular emotions, resulting in a vulgar story and theme, too many plot loopholes, and insufficient overall tension.

Some media and film critics even said: "Interstellar" is a rotten movie wrapped in colorful sugar coating.

Despite the criticism the film and Nolan received, Martin's performance was still praised.

"Martin interprets the role of a father who puts family first very well, and several emotional scenes are truly tear-jerking."

Between the premiere and the release, the reputation of "Interstellar" began to diverge.

Fans enthusiastically gave it high scores, but the media and film critics believed that compared to Nolan's past films, "Interstellar" was of mediocre quality.

But the atmosphere of the market has been greatly enhanced by movie fans.

"To say that "Interstellar" is a masterpiece is the greatest compliment to this word."

In the enthusiastic atmosphere created by Nolan fans, the film started smoothly.

On Thursday night, midnight screenings began. Among the same 3,600 midnight screenings, the attendance of "Interstellar" was far inferior to that of "John Wick 3," the sequel to the hit movie.

The midnight box office revenue was $9.67 million.
