Suncheonfu, a cinema screening hall.

The Matrix on the big screen has come to an end.

Qin Wei's lips pursed tightly, and his eyes looked at the big screen intently.

At the beginning of the screening, he had already looked at it by the light of the screen, although it has been more than ten days since the screening, it is said that no matter how good the film is, it should be cold, let alone a working day. But this theater may have something to do with its location in a busy area, and at a glance, the theater still has nearly half of the occupancy.

And throughout the two-hour broadcast, no one left the theater halfway.

Exclamations, exclamations, buzz every few minutes.

Qin Wei actually looked at it far more seriously than them.

As early as when this movie was first released, he already wanted to come over to take a look, but he never came, and he was a little hesitant - not to mention anything else, over the years, the first person who really made him angry was Li Qian! From the bottom of his heart, he was absolutely unwilling to contribute even a penny to the films of Li Qian and Minghu Culture!

Moreover, there are also hidden worries, as soon as Li Qian's movie was released, many reporters blocked him, threw all kinds of questions to stimulate him, trying to get a little bit of his evaluation of this movie from his mouth.

Of course, if he can attack aggressively, or even attack Li Qian, it would be great - don't even think about it, Qin Wei VS Li Qian, and catch up with "The Matrix" is so popular, as soon as this news comes out, it will be a fire in three minutes!

So at this time, Qin Wei was really afraid of what if he ran out to watch this movie and was bumped into by a reporter? Not to mention anything else, it was to take a photo of himself in the movie theater, which was full of things that he couldn't explain - a photo could make those reporters immediately explain that "Qin Wei appeared in the movie theater to watch "The Matrix", and after being discovered by the reporter, he asked about his feelings after watching it, and his silence was correct"!

Look, "The Matrix" was praised all at once!

Moreover, if he went to watch the movie of Li Qian, his sworn enemy, even if he finished watching a few words of criticism, Qin Wei would feel strange and embarrassed - in case someone responded with a sentence, who let you watch it! No!

What a shame!

The letter of renunciation back then had already made Qin Wei feel quite ashamed, and it was simply the heaviest slap he had ever received in his life! If he came to the cinema and was humiliated again, he felt that he would have no face to mix in the domestic film circle in the future-I am not a thick-skinned guy like Zhao Meicheng!

However, after thinking and thinking, hesitating and hesitating, he finally came.

The domestic box office of this movie rushed upward, breaking all domestic film records, and also breaking all domestic box office records, that's all, to this day, he Li Qian already has such appeal, with that status, but this movie is so popular in North America, and it is not inferior to "Jurassic Park 2" - except that the first week of "Jurassic Park 2" is too fierce, it even has the upper hand!

This hit Qin Wei's key point all of a sudden.

Speaking of which, after 30 years of filmmaking, he is known as a master at home and abroad, but in recent years, he actually has no great ambition. From the perspective of Chinese films, from his own status in Chinese films, the goal is lofty, he also tries to do a good job in Chinese films, rush out, to earn tickets from foreign audiences, and promoting Chinese culture abroad is still secondary, the key is to earn money from foreigners, that is really cool, that is really fame and fortune.

From a personal point of view, in fact, it is almost old and earns more money.

Moreover, the domestic film circle respected art films, and his art films were the best, but now the times have changed, and commerce is king, and he was the leader of the entire domestic film circle, and he also tried to bring China's domestic commercial films up - not in his position, not in his politics, in fact, the reverse is often applicable, really capable and talented people, once they sit in that position, always want to do something consistent with their identity.

Therefore, it is a good thing to earn more money, prepare for retirement, make another contribution to Chinese films, bring out the commercialization of Chinese films, and then go out and earn more money from foreigners - for yourself and the public.

And if you want to earn foreigners' money, if you want to earn more, what is the goal?

North America!

He has already conquered Europe, since he began to be active in Europe, until "Red Light District" is considered a peak, whether it is his art films or commercial blockbusters such as "The Door of Life and Death", he has always had an excellent reputation in Europe and sold well at the box office.

Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, "The Gate of Life and Death" sold very well, proving that his films are still very marketable and popular in this pan-Chinese cultural circle.

However, for a long time, he couldn't enter the North American film market.

"The Door of Life and Death", the best box office at the box office, is before "Hulu Baby" and "The Matrix", and it can be blown out to some extent, but now, it is not worthy of lifting shoes for others!

And film directors like him, to be honest, have been greatly influenced by European literary films since they were young, so the pursuit of film art is really tireless, but on the other hand, in their growth period, it is the period when Hollywood films quickly conquered the global market.

Over the years, Hollywood has almost conquered everything, and even Europe, which they originally regarded as a temple, has gradually become the backyard of Hollywood movies after entering the nineties!

The art films that were originally very high at the box office gradually fell silent, but those commercial blockbusters in Hollywood became popular in Europe, and one by one they reaped the mouth-watering box office.

So although he has always believed in and worked hard to pursue the art of film, even the palace of art films in Europe has been broken by Hollywood, how can Qin Wei not see it?

To put it mildly, although he is touted as an art master by many art film lovers in China, deep down in his heart, he has never been willing to classify himself as the same kind of guy who only knows how to bury his head in making some so-called art movies that no one can understand and no one likes.

He believes that cinema is an art, but he also believes that cinema must make money.

So in his opinion, aren't your Hollywood movies awesome? Then I sell the movie to the United States, sell it to North America, and get a big box office there, that's really awesome!

However, even if he takes the commercial route and invests heavily in making commercial films, from "The Gate of Life and Death" to "Golden Stage", his two commercial films are hardly successful in North America.

This made him very frustrated for a while.

However, at this time, Li Qian actually succeeded!

This surprised him again!

When he studied Europe and admired European literary films to make art films, in his heart, those European film masters were simply amazing, almost unsurpassable. When he wanted to make money to watch Hollywood make commercial blockbusters, he had to admit that other Hollywood movies were really good.

After two consecutive failures to hit the North American box office market, especially "Golden Channel", which failed in China, once made him feel that Chinese films, from various perspectives such as ideas, stories, and actors, are likely to be naturally not easy for North American audiences to accept.

So, after "Golden Terrace" hit the streets, he took a break for a while, and he was recently trying to conceive a new story, and this story, from the beginning of the sketch, he was already thinking about whether to invite a Hollywood star to come over and do the leading role - of course, this play must be a foreigner's play, it can take place in China, but it must be told around a foreigner.

As a result, he has been searching and collecting information related to Marco Polo lately.

In his opinion, filming a "Marco Polo" and finding Hollywood first-line stars to play it may be a good way to break through the North American film market!

However, at this time, first "Hulu Baby", followed by "The Matrix".

A pure Chinese story, starring an absolute oriental face, has actually achieved great success at the box office in North America - Qin Wei almost couldn't believe it when he first heard the news!

So, without telling anyone, he quietly came to buy a ticket and entered the venue.

The movie is really good!

Although Qin Wei came with all kinds of disbelief and all kinds of doubts before he came, after watching the movie for less than twenty minutes, he was sure that this movie would definitely be very level.

The characters, lenses, colors, and even the special effects are all top-notch.

The kind of excellent movie that can bring the audience a delicate texture from the first shot, this movie is no worse than Hollywood's top blockbusters!

Therefore, the inner scrutiny and questioning are put away.

With a touch of awe in his heart, with a learning mentality, he began to watch the next hour and a half - not disappointed at all!

So much so that when the movie finally ended and many viewers excitedly left their seats while discussing the plot, Qin Wei still sat there steadily, full of emotion in his heart.

He has watched "My Sassy Girlfriend", Li Qian at that time was still relatively immature, even if it was a simple urban romance light comedy, he controlled it well, but in fact, there are still many things that can be found and improved.

When it came to "Huang Feihong", after all, it was the right station, and he also took the time to watch it, and the scheduling of the camera, the picture, and the actors has been greatly improved, but to be honest, in Qin Wei's opinion, if it weren't for his story being super good, his movie wouldn't look so good!

However, now, in the third movie I saw, his skills seem to have improved by leaps and bounds, and even ...... It can be described as reborn!

Story arrangement, mirror style, and picture scheduling, all of which are fine!

It's already a master of the masters!

Sitting in his chair, he couldn't help but think: "No wonder it sells well! He has found the key to telling the story to both Chinese and Americans with great accuracy!"

…………

When the audience was almost gone, the theater staff had already walked in to clean up briefly, and when they saw that there was still an audience member sitting in their seats, they reminded loudly, "It's over, the next show will be shown soon, if you need to watch it again, please go out and buy a ticket." ”

Qin Wei suddenly woke up and came back to his senses.

Buckling up his large sunglasses that covered half of his face, and putting on his mask, he got up and left.

Well, if you are pure Marco Polo, to make an oriental landscape film, of course, it is simple, it has to shoot a little depth, and it is easy to look at China at that time from the perspective of Westerners, but the story is ......

This needs to be considered again.

In addition to the screening room, walking out of the aisle, he was still thinking about something while slowly walking out, and suddenly, the flash light turned on.

Qin Wei was taken aback at that time.

When I looked up, I saw a reporter with a microphone in his hand, who should have been interviewing the audience watching the movie just now, and I don't know why, I was discovered by a photographer.

At this time, the person who took the photo just now had already greeted loudly, "It's Qin Wei and Qin Dao!"

There were people talking quietly in the lounge area of the movie theater, although it was not noisy, but it was definitely not quiet, especially when there were reporters interviewing, it seemed noisy. But when this voice came out, the rest area immediately fell silent - the reporters there and the photographers with cameras looked back for the first time.

Qin Wei walked out quickly.

The reporter's eyes were shining, and he strode over, and the microphone stretched out in front of Qin Wei, "Hello Director Qin, did you just go to see "The Matrix"? What do you think of this movie? Director Qin, Director Qin...... Have you heard the news that this movie has been a box office hit in North America and Europe? Can you share your thoughts on this? A few words would be fine......

Qin Wei ignored it and quickly broke out of the door.

If he wasn't worried about his image, maybe he would have to run away.

walked out of the movie theater, waited until he came to his car, got in the car, and finally got rid of the reporters, and then, without taking off his sunglasses and mask, he started the car first and drove away from the street, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and dared to take off his sunglasses and kouzhai.

However, this is clearly not the end of the story.

More than two hours later, he was writing his thoughts on watching the movie at home, Hu Fei's phone called, connected, and his voice was a little excited, "Lao Qin, have you gone to see "The Matrix"?"

Qin Wei let out an "um".

"What do you think?"

"It was a good shot. ”

"You're not stimulated, whatever?"

"Yes, but it's not mature. ”

There was a "snap" on the other side of the phone, and it was estimated that Hu Fei couldn't help but slap it on the table excitedly, and then, his voice suddenly became high-pitched, "Great!

"If you have any ideas, just say it, you can talk to me at any time! Funds, I will give you as much as you want, actors, I will give you whoever you want, if not, I will go to the door of someone's house and kneel, and invite you! Uh...... Belch...... Except for Li Qian, this is really not invited! But anything else, whoever you want, I'll take it for you!"

At this moment, Hu Fei on the other end of the phone was so excited that he couldn't help himself, but Qin Wei on the other end of the phone had a calm expression, or rather, he was actually extremely calm in his heart.

It seemed that he had made up his mind, and then, the whole person calmed down.

It is calm to the extent that there are no waves in the ancient well.

Facing the phone, he said slowly: "I also think that I am not old yet, and I have not yet reached the point of being eliminated." Then make a drama and prove that I'm not old!"

***

Recently, everyone's complaints, in the book review area, in the chapters, and in the readership, I have seen them.

Allow me a moment to adjust.

Even if you cut in and out the wrong way from the beginning, at least you have to round this paragraph, right?

Thank you!
