Chapter 696

It is impossible for Lin Chen to take the script of "The Matrix" and let all film and television companies read it.

You must know that the most powerful thing in Huaxia is the copycat, and then it is to follow the trend.

What's more, many film and television companies are currently staring at the scripts of Xinghuo Film and Television.

Lin Chen bets that if he gives the script to other film and television companies, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will shoot and set up projects one by one.

Plagiarism is certainly impossible, but it's always okay to follow the trend.

For this reason, Lin Chen was very clear from the beginning, that is, if you are interested, let's sit down and talk, or even give you an outline, anyway, the real essence of "The Matrix" is creativity, it is a discussion about robots and humans, some philosophical reflections, and special effects like 'bullet time'.

As he expected, in addition to Mi Le, Imperial Capital, and Wanya, the other five film and television companies chose to refuse.

They may feel that on the one hand, "The Matrix" is unreliable, and on the other hand, they think that since we know such an idea, it is okay for us to shoot it ourselves.

In this regard, Lin Chen didn't want to say anything except hehe.

Several companies here today are full of sincerity, and they have also negotiated some before and after.

Then Lin Chen took out this promotional video.

See for yourselves.

Where I really spend my money.

As for everyone's doubts, Lin Chen also answered them one by one.

If you only look at the outline of "The Matrix", you will only think that this is not the story of human resistance against robots?

But after really watching it, I will understand that, as we said before, this movie is actually very complicated, and it talks about human nature and philosophy.

30 minutes later, Lin Chen chuckled: "Okay, I've said everything that should be said, and I also believe that everyone can see the complexity of this movie, it's not just a so-called war between robots and humans, this movie is written by me, I acted, and I directed, so only I understand how to shoot "The Matrix", so about how much everyone invests and how to invest, I will leave it to Mr. Yuan, I just want to ask you if you have any other questions?"

Zhao Haobo of Miller Film and Television frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, I want to ask how much the production cost of "The Matrix" is?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you announced that it was 300 million, but looking at today's trailer, I think 300 million may not be able to stop. ”

"I can't stop it, Director Lin, what is your expectation for this movie?"

......

People from other film and television companies also asked.

After all, money doesn't come from the wind, especially this year is a film and television winter, and many people need to maintain their company's cash flow.

There is one thing to say.

Winter is coming.

Everyone needs to save food for the winter, and many film and television companies have made substantial layoffs this year, which is the same reason.

When winter comes, the first thing you need to make sure is to survive.

Of course, after surviving, you need to find a way to invest.

If it were other people and other companies, it would be said that they would invest 300 million, plus such an extremely complex sci-fi film, everyone would definitely not dare to take risks easily.

But Lin Chen is no one else.

Produced by Xinghuo, it must be a high-quality product.

For this, after nothing is a problem, the next step is to invest.

Talk about investment.

Lin Chen didn't ask about this.

The investment in the first part of "The Matrix" does not hurt even if the share of Spark Film and Television is a little smaller, because this movie does have a certain amount of risk, and at the same time, it still needs to let others take some risks.

At that time, how to do the sequel to "The Matrix" is up to Spark Film and Television.

Just like the original "Wolf Warrior", the first Beijing Kyoto seems to have mortgaged its own house, but because the box office is good, the second part naturally has more autonomy, not to mention the crazy box office achieved by the second part.

In the screening hall, after Lin Chen left, it became lively.

After all, Lin Chen has said everything that Lin Chen should have said in "The Matrix", and thinking about the miracles Lin Chen has created in the past, it is certain that the box office of "The Matrix" should not be bad.

"What if we lose?"

Zhao Haobo gritted his teeth fiercely at this time: "Then admit it." ”

Not only Zhao Haobo, but also Ma Rufei, Ning Chao, Cao Yun and others decided the same.

Of course, if they say regret, they also have a little regret.

That is, you should be more confident in Lin Chen, so that you can get a good share of the "Matrix" in advance.

At the moment, we can only compete.

The cake is that big.

Everyone will definitely only be able to score evenly.

In a day's time, Yuan Ye also told Lin Chen that he had negotiated.

Among them, Miller Film and Television has invested the most, with a total investment of 80 million.

There are no eternal enemies in this world, not to mention the previous battle between Lin Chen and Wu Bing's ideas, whether the two of them tear Mile Film and Television on Wu Bing's side, it is nothing more than business.

Now Xinghuo Film and Television needs to invest, so Miller Film and Television is willing to invest the best.

In addition, Jihai Media invested 20 million, Wanya Film and Television invested 20 million, Imperial Capital Film and Television invested 20 million, and other small and medium-sized film and television companies invested a total of 15 million.

Since then, the investment has basically reached 155 million.

It's basically half the cost of production.

OK.

Lin Chen is acceptable.

However, he didn't expect that the two companies of Wanya and Imperial Capital would only invest 20 million, obviously they have a certain degree of confidence in "The Matrix", but it just stops there.

But this is also in Lin Chen's arms.

Since this is the case, then, Lin Chen looked up at Yuan Ye and said, "Let's make an official announcement directly." ”

In a word, it also set the tone.

The Matrix has officially announced.

"The third work "The Matrix" written, directed and acted by Lin Chen is about to start, this film is jointly invested by Xinghuo Film and Television, Mile Film and Television, Jihai Media, Wanya Film and Television, Imperial Capital Film and Television, etc., with an estimated production cost of 400 million, so stay tuned!"

As soon as the news came out, the industry exploded.

"Khan, I really didn't expect that so many companies would invest together?"

"Yes, wasn't Xinghuo Film and Television still fighting with Mile Film and Television before?"

"That's right, but it's also a proof that everyone is looking at interests. ”

"That's true, but what I want to know more is how did this become 400 million again?"

"Obviously, with a company, the production cost has increased even further. ”

"The two movies directed and acted by Lin Chen, "Big Talk" and "Truman's World", have achieved good results, and now I will watch this "The Matrix". ”

"Don't worry, I don't think there's anything wrong with this one. ”

"Yes, this is Lin Chen. ”

......

It was directly discussed on the Internet, and many people had some expectations for "The Matrix".

After all, after watching Lin Chen's previous interview and what he said, I was looking forward to this movie.

The industry was also a little shocked.

As we all know, often at any time, the production cost is expected to exceed at the beginning, and even some film and television companies that will exceed the production cost and burn money will go bankrupt directly.

This is the brutal film and television company.

In this paragraph, the film and television dramas produced by various film and television companies have gradually recovered their senses, and many of the production costs are not even 60 million, and they are mainly small costs.

It's really rare to see hundreds of millions at every turn like before.

And thinking about it again, Lin Chen has criticized blockbusters before, although he also explained it at the launch conference of "Thin Men and Women", but obviously it can't be understood.

In general, many people think that Xinghuo Film and Television is so inflated for what?

Let's not talk about 400 million, but also according to the previous 300 million, the current film market has canceled all the ticket supplements, so the box office of many movies is becoming more and more cruel.

In the past, when the ticket supplement was not canceled, everyone could still make a wave with the ticket supplement, but now it is not possible.

In such a situation where the time, place, and people are not available, Lin Chen chose to shoot a blockbuster.

Either bloat.

Or self-confidence.

Faced with many doubts, Yu Linsheng chose the latter.

He wrote a Weibo: "All along, looking at Lin Chen's works, it can be seen that it has been a full 8 years since he graduated from the first "Soul Ferry" to "Dear", 8 years, Lin Chen has shot countless classic TV series, and has left many movies, but Lin Chen is still improving, still moving forward, in this area, I think Lin Chen has done a very good job, he has never been in his comfort zone, therefore, I believe that the movie "The Matrix" will not disappoint us either. ”

Many fans of Lin Chen's Weibo also liked it.

"Yes, as an old fan who has been a fan of Lin Chen for eight years, this is what I like most about Lin Chen. ”

Lin Chen has never fooled the audience, and every one of his movies is full of sincerity. ”

"Hollywood's sci-fi blockbusters have always burned money, and it is obvious that Lin Chen is also preparing to do so this time. ”

""The Matrix" is just a name, I don't know what to say, let's look at the next starring role. ”

......

Later, in the middle of the discussion, a set of posters was unveiled for The Matrix.

Lin Chen, Lin Shuang, Sun Hai and other leading actors also appeared, and everyone had a frightened look on their faces, and at the same time, half of them were true and half of them were false, which seemed to have a certain meaning.

At the same time, the poster behind it is also half ruins, half of which is a sunny city.

As for this Weibo, there is also a topic called 'Fiction and Reality, You Know What'.

"Seeing this, I can't help but open my mind, this, there are robots here?"

"yes, I'm also a little dizzy, I really didn't expect such a pictorial. ”

"But I still don't understand, what the hell is this?"

"I don't know, I don't understand. ”

"That's right if you don't understand it, who doesn't know that Lin Chen's movies have always been like this?"

"Sci-fi films, can Mao not see any sci-fi films now?"

......

Countless people discussed.

It was a real surprise for them.

A poster with a hidden mystery.

Then, naturally, the industry is also paying attention to "The Matrix".

Many people don't know about "The Matrix", but people in the industry have heard of it, after all, there are many secrets in the industry.

"I don't understand too much, this kind of theme of robots and human wars has long been a vulgar street, why does Lin Chen want to do this?"

"Yes, Lin Chen has always been creative-oriented, but this time I think he is a bit of a cliché. ”

"That's right, but you can't say that, after all, what can you tell just by looking at the outline?"

"Let's keep looking. ”

"It's too early to say anything, but I suggest that you don't stand in line easily, think about the people who mocked Lin Chen before, which time was not slapped in the face?"

......

Lin Chen did not take the discussion in the industry to heart.

This kind of discussion is also a good thing for Lin Chen.

The hotter "The Matrix", the better.

When everything is ready, Lin Chen is ready to start the machine directly on May 1st.

At that time, there will be another wave of publicity, and then "The Matrix" will strive for the release of the Chinese New Year.

Yuan Ye also reminded Lin Chen that there will be two award ceremonies in July and August, and Lin Chen was shortlisted for "Journey to the West", if he can win a Best Actor or Best Director, then it will be a status improvement for Lin Chen.

After all, it's embarrassing to say, Lin Chen has not won the Best Director Award in the film industry so far.

The outside world's call for "Journey to the West" is still quite high.

What Lin Chen may be able to win the best director and best actor with "Journey to the West".

Wait.

Xinghuo Film and Television naturally needs public relations and some soft advertisements, in addition, other film and television companies have not stopped.

To be honest, for winning the Best Director award, it is impossible for you to say that Lin Chen doesn't care.

But you have to say how much you care.

That's not the case.

How old is Lin Chen this year?

It can be said that Lin Chen is currently in the golden period of directors, his age is an advantage, and even Lin Chen will definitely be able to occupy a place in the Lifetime Achievement Award in the future.

Even if he really finishes his talents now, it doesn't matter.

In eight years, Lin Chen has created many film and television dramas.

With his film and television dramas, he can also be on the list.

What's more, Lin Chen has been improving.

Just as Lin Chen was preparing for the launch of "The Matrix", Lin Xiao suddenly came.

Time forks, now Lin Xiao is already a big girl, in the past two years, Lin Chen has not deliberately pulled out the seedlings to help grow, so that Lin Xiao has honed his acting skills in various movies on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has not fallen behind in singing.

However, Lin Xiao's press release did not have any.

Yes.

has not been on any hot searches, and there is no publicity in public relations, as if everyone has forgotten Lin Xiao.

"Brother, help. ”

Lin Xiao's face was slightly ugly and said to his brother.

"Huh?"

Lin Chen: "What's wrong?"
