The crew of "Angry City".

The filming location is a park near the suburbs of Chang City, Suzhou Province, and a single park next to it, and the investment cost is very small, counting the actor's salary, the total investment is only 6.5 million.

The biggest name in the crew is Rui Ying, the male protagonist Feng Kang used to play tricks, but Jin Yaohua took a fancy to his honest temperament and a two-ha face.

What is called Erha face, that is, Feng Kang feels quite serious when he doesn't smile, and he feels silly when he smiles.

Originally, Jin Yaohua planned to invite Gou Xiao to play the male lead, but unfortunately there are people under the dog head now, or there may be someone on the body, anyway, it is a habit.

The dog's resources are very good, so Jin Yaohua's email inviting the audition was not replied to at all, but fortunately, he saw Feng Kang, who looked more silly than the doghead.

Jin Yaohua has a characteristic of filming, from eleven to two o'clock at noon, he does not film, according to his theory, this time is the most tired moment for the brain, and I don't know where the theory comes from.

Not long after resting, Feng Kang came to tell Jin Yaohua: "There are many reporters outside Director Jin. ”

"Reporter?" Jin Yaohua was a little puzzled, they must have rented and fenced off this park when they filmed, mainly not to prevent reporters, but to block the onlookers.

The point of confusion is this, Jin Yaohua's movie, unless he himself gives money to publicize it, there will be no reporters coming over at all.

Jin Yaohua put down the storyboard script, and then followed Feng Kang over to read it, and it was really a long shot and a short cannon, at least more than 20 media.

"Phoenix Daily", "The Paper", "Sunday Entertainment", "Youth Daily", "Film Magazine", "Youth Daily", ......

It's not all newspapers in the entertainment industry, such as "Youth Daily" and "Youth Daily", so Jin Yaohua stayed, and his peak moment was when he almost won the best film at the Sundance Film Festival, and there was no such big battle at that time.

"What's going on?" Jin Yaohua didn't know, and before he could react, the reporters saw him coming, and then crowded to the door and began to ask questions.

"Director Kim, what kind of story does the new film "Angry City" want to show? ”

Film reporters are the oldest and ask the most friendly questions, and even the most verbal directors will have a lot to talk about their films.

"The last film "People" almost won the highest award at the Sundance Film Festival, is this one still going to hit the Sundance Film Festival? ”

The Sun Dance Film Festival, also known as the Sundance Film Festival, was asked by a reporter from Sunday Entertainment, and it seems that he has done his homework.

"When will 'Angry City' be released?"

"The box office of "People" was dismal, and it was only 1.3 million when it went offline, what do you think. ”

A lot of questions, Jin Yaohua wondered, could he, the treasure boy, finally be discovered?

But the question was subconsciously answered: "1.3 million is a lot, the shooting cost is only more than 400,000, the heroine is my girlfriend, I sold 1.2 million at the film festival before, not only to return to the original but also to make a small profit." ”

Speaking of making a small profit, Jin Yaohua unconsciously showed a smile on his face, and it could be seen that he really felt a lot.

"As for 'Angry City', I actually wanted to film why urban people are getting angrier, more and more impatient, and less and less considerate. Jin Yaohua said: "I believe that the vast majority of people will not become like this for no reason, I don't know if the filming is good or not, anyway, I want to express my opinion, as for whether to participate in the Sun Dance Film Festival, I will, because I am counting on winning an award to sell some money, otherwise the domestic box office will lose money, and no one will invest in me to make a movie." ”

This thing is too straightforward, and sometimes when the interviewer is too straightforward, you don't know how to dig a hole.

"Director Jin, I told Director Chu that you are a very aura young director, and "People" is the most humanistic work that Director Chu Shun has seen in recent years, what do you think of this evaluation?"

The people from the Phoenix Daily wanted to scold, and they didn't ask the point after asking for a long time, so they couldn't hold back and asked the point, and they were afraid that Jin Yaohua wouldn't know the situation, so they directly called Chu Shun's name.

Jin Yaohua is not a fool, and he roughly understands why so many media suddenly came, it should be Chu Shun who said good things about him in the interview.

I can't help but sigh that Chu Shun's influence is really great, and Liu Guanhong has also praised him before, but it is far from the point where more than 20 media outlets have come to interview him.

"Director Chu is a director I respect very much, especially his "Sweet Honey", I think there are very few films that can compare with the theme of discourse romance films. ”

Jin Yaohua is also telling the truth, he repeatedly pondered the plot structure of "Sweet Honey", it is really good, taking this rhythm as an outline, and then filling in the content, is the template of the era romance film.

"I'm glad that my "People" can be liked by Director Chu Shun, and I will also work hard to shoot works that will not disappoint Director Chu. Jin Yaohua said.

No one thinks there is anything wrong with Chu Shun calling Jin Yaohua a talented young director, even if Jin Yaohua is actually older.

The reporters gathered Jin Huishen for the interview, and Jin Yaohua also cooperated with the interview, after all, this can be said to be one of the few opportunities for his film to be promoted.

The reporters went back to concoct one article: "Chu Shun's most optimistic young director Jin Yaohua, "People" and "Angry City" will take you to decipher", "Who is the rookie director Jin Yaohua that Chu Shun admires", "He made Chu Shun like it"......

Interested people will definitely click in, the traffic is definitely not low, the most important thing is to seek truth from facts, and there is no title party at all.

The interview lasted for more than an hour before the reporters left, Jin Yaohua returned to the filming location and found that the cast and crew were all holding their mobile phones and swiping Weibo, and then he learned that Chu Shun did not say it in an interview, but posted a Weibo.

I'm not Chu Shun: [Yesterday, I secretly visited my friend @Rui Ying, who was filming "Angry City", hahaha There shouldn't be many people who found out, @导演金耀华_是少见有人文关怀和灵气的导演了, "People" was filmed very well. ］

You must know that Chu Shun rarely posts on Weibo, and it is the first time to praise people in public, and in the end, Chu Shun has raised his status in the hearts of reporters since "Paradise Cinema" won awards abroad.

As for Liu Guanhong's praise, it is not that no one listens to Liu Lao's words, but that he, as the vice president of the Directors Association, has a habit of promoting new directors, so it is naturally not big news if he praises too much.

And right...... Liu Guanhong is a poisonous milk, every time he says to the new director, "I'm looking forward to your second work", then eight out of ten people are pulled down, and two people are particularly pulled down and change careers directly.

By the way, Liu Guanhong also said this to Jin Yaohua, hoping that Jin Yaohua can be strong.

"Sakura-chan, why didn't you tell me, the person who came with a hat yesterday was Director Chu, I'm his fan!"

"I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Director Chu? ”

"Director Chu Shun is really powerful, others have to spend money to buy it if they want to be on a hot search, he casually sent a message and arranged it, the key is one sentence, just let us, the crew, who originally had no sense of existence, be surrounded by more than 20 media. ”

"I think this year's Hurun Huaxia entertainment industry is the first on the power list, it should be Chu Shun, and I am not convinced by anyone else. ”

The crew began to surround Rui Ying, and Chu Shun was able to maintain such a high level of attention because there were constantly good works.

The popularity of the Golden Bear Award is almost gone, then there is a box office of more than 2 billion, and then domestic Grand Slams, Palme d'Or, and foreign awards, all of which have not stopped.

After making another big event, Chu Shun stopped at the hotel, and the best foreign language film at the Oscars in February, "Paradise Cinema" did not win, and the winner was "Bad Taste".

On March 7, 2023, XF Digital came with news that the post-production special effects were completed, and Chu Shun really waited for the flowers to thank him, and then immediately looked at the finished product.

"Now I have a 17% stake in XF Digital, and when The Matrix goes public, I'll find an opportunity to take control of XF Digital. Chu Shun's reaction was this.

It's really done quite well, take one of the pictures to show the future situation, there are many abandoned buildings, dense enough to give people goosebumps.

There is a scene in the movie where Neo is hoisted up, because his limbs are atrophied, and he uses a similar acupuncture method to replenish his muscles, and inserts Neo's body full of needles, and this scene is as if someone is doing acupuncture on the earth, and the ground is full of "needles" called high-rise buildings.

In the end, the camera falls slightly on a building, a very futuristic building, with a passenger elevator for the outside view, and the sliding line of "F" is obviously more like a conceptual building than the current high-rise building, with glass and wall tiles, like a metal hand bone sticking out of a cemetery, not dilapidated, just old, without any vitality.

There are no plants on the ground, and of course there are no stinky ditches, because this land is full of gravel, as if it had been a great war, not only the ground was lifted, but the gravel below was also turned up.

The sun has been covered, and the things that are churning in the sky are not like dark clouds, but more like black waves, wave after wave, so that even a little sunlight can not leak, and occasionally white waves, which are lightning.

"I'm more confident, how much can I do at the box office?"

Chu Shun called China Film and communicated with Mr. Tan of China Film on the phone to determine the release time in China and the Labor Day schedule on May 1.

The main investment companies of "The Matrix" are Taiyi Film and Television Company and China Film, and the distribution companies are China Film and Walt Disney Company.

The release time is roughly divided into four batches, the first batch is China, island countries, South Korea, that is, Asia, May 1.

May 2 is Hollywood, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, these.

Then on the Fourth of May came Italy, France, the United Kingdom and other European countries.

The rest of the countries will premiere between May 5 and 8, and will be released in 43 countries around the world.

Although slightly inferior to Hollywood blockbusters in 57 countries, Chu Shun's "The Matrix" is definitely one of the films with the most premieres in the country.

And the publicity, from the time the release time was set, it was launched, and two months was completely enough.

["The Matrix" on May 1, Chu Shun's biggest investment movie so far] was posted in the passenger elevator of the shopping mall.

[May 1 "The Matrix", Chu Shun asked you to meet!] This is an advertisement on a chopping app.

[Chu Shun's new work is here, accompany you to spend Labor Day.] Advertisements on station signs.

Boom, whether it's watching short videos at home or going out shopping, it's all the publicity of "The Matrix", and China Film is really ruthless!
