Chapter 424 The Much-Anticipated Release Date!

"Did you hear that?"

"What?"

"Daniel Wu's new movie has been produced!"

"A buddy of mine is a staff member of Universal Pictures. I heard from him that Universal organized a large-scale internal movie viewing party a few days ago to watch Daniel Wu's new movie!"

"According to him, Universal's executives were very impressed after watching the movie and said it was a movie that was not inferior to "Avatar"!"

"Everyone is yelling that they have never seen such a cool science fiction movie!"

"real?"

James was a little unconvinced, and replied to his friends on social software with doubts: "Daniel is indeed good at making movies, but what he is good at is not science fiction movies, right?"

"Can he make a good science fiction film?"

"Hey, buddy, you're behind the times." His online friend replied sternly: "Don't you know, Daniel made a science fiction film in China, and it was also released in North America, called "Gravity". What a cool movie! "

“It was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!”

James frowned. He seemed to have some impression. When the Oscars announced the shortlist a few days ago, he did see a movie called "Gravity" nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

However, as an American, he has never paid much attention to the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

Are you kidding me?

Most Americans never care about things outside the United States, and they don’t even know how many countries there are in the world!

So he didn't notice that the director's name of this movie was Daniel Wu.

As for the release of "Gravity" in North America?

Although Wu Yuan's cooperation with the Big Six of Hollywood is very good, it does not mean that his Chinese-language films will be treated favorably in North America.

Although it is not as miserable as "The Wandering Earth" and was only symbolically released in thirty or forty theaters, "Gravity" was released in less than 800 theaters in North America at its highest, and at the beginning it was only Two to three hundred families.

At this scale, compared with North American blockbusters that are released simultaneously in at least 2,000 theaters, and even more in 3,000 or 4,000 theaters, the influence and exposure are much lower.

In addition, Hollywood deliberately did not promote this movie very much.

So much so that although "Gravity" made more than 50 million US dollars at the box office in North America, its popularity is really average.

Just like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Heroes", not many North Americans have actually watched these two movies.

That is to say, after it was released, North America no longer cared about this movie, and the Oscars also gave it a nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

"To be honest, I'm already looking forward to Daniel Wu's new movie." James' online friends are still chatting on social software.

"As you know, I like science fiction movies very much. I also watched Daniel Wu's "Gravity". It was great. It is a real hard science fiction movie!"

"This time his new movie "Interstellar" is not only a hard science fiction movie, but also an IMAX 3D version, just like "Avatar"!"

"Even if Daniel Wu is not as good as Cameron, he will not be much worse. They are both directors in the billion-dollar box office club!"

"Oh, by the way, there's also Nolan. His new movie will be released soon. It's also a science fiction movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio."

"Oh my gosh, this is a great year for science fiction movies!"

Having no time to pay attention to his friends' chattering, James skillfully opened Google search and curiously searched for news about Wu Yuan's new movie.

After searching, he discovered that the North American Internet was already full of reports about "Interstellar".

From the earliest launch conference, to the Reuters photos taken later, the finalized follow-up reports, and the latest news that post-production has been completed, and internal film screenings were held, are widely spread on the Internet.

Various insiders claiming to be from Paramount or Universal are breaking news about the film.

It is said that Anne Hathaway contributed a very wonderful performance in the movie.

Some people say that although the leading actor is unknown, his acting skills are really good and he is the next Depp.

What's more, it was even reported that this movie predicts the true appearance of black holes and will reveal to the audience what the famous black hole horizon looks like!

It's clear that Universal and Paramount's publicity departments are already working hard.

It's February 16, 2010, North American time. According to Universal's plan, "Interstellar" should be scheduled for August.

As a Hollywood blockbuster, it is normal to start pre-promotion half a year in advance.

It's just right to do some publicity first by using so-called insiders to break the news.

Of course James wouldn't think so much. After reading all the relevant reports on "Interstellar" in detail, he couldn't help but look forward to the movie.

Wu Yuan's reputation in Hollywood is still very good.

Although his reputation is not as high as Cameron's, he has never made a bad movie in Hollywood so far. The public has a very good impression of him and basically looks forward to his new movies.

The reputation accumulated in the past few years has allowed many movie fans to blindly trust him and not worry that he will bring a super bad movie.

So does James.

Although he is curious about Wu Yuan making science fiction films, he doesn't think he will make bad films.

Especially after he found the online resources of "Gravity" and watched it, he thought that Wu Yuan would definitely bring a good movie.

"Oh my God, I just watched "Gravity", this movie is so cool!"

James excitedly shared with his friends: "I never knew that Daniel Wu was so good at making science fiction movies!"

"I almost missed such a good movie!"

"This movie should win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

His friend, Diers, who is also a science fiction movie fanatic, immediately replied: "Yes, I think so too!"

It's not just the two of them.

As the relevant revelations of "Interstellar" spread in North America, many movie fans and netizens were paying attention to the news of this movie, and then followed the Internet to find Wu Yuan's Chinese science fiction film "Gravity".

Facts have proved that this movie is a science fiction film that can conquer the Oscars and win the Oscar for Best Picture. Its gold content is indeed sufficient.

After watching it, eight out of ten North American netizens praised this film, and their expectations for "Interstellar" have also increased!

Wu Yuan can make such a good science fiction film in China, a place with no technology and no market, so how good will the science fiction film he makes in Hollywood be!

I dare not think about it!

"Universal is really good at publicity." Wu Yuan said with a smile after seeing these comments on the Internet.

"Brother, many people on the Internet now say that this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film must be yours." Liu Yifei, who came to the United States from China to accompany him to celebrate the Spring Festival, said with a smile beside him.

There is still half a month before this year's Oscar Awards will be held.

Originally, Wu Yuan was not a very popular object in this Oscar Awards, after all, his film was not nominated for the main awards.

But the hype of Universal and Paramount not only made "Interstellar" popular, but also made "Gravity" popular in North America.

All of a sudden, this movie nominated for the Oscars has attracted much attention.

"Best Foreign Language Film Award?" Wu Yuan shook his head and said calmly, "I've already won this award, so it doesn't matter whether I win it this time or not." (End of this chapter)
