Chapter 1106 The invitation of the falling crew

During the Spring Festival, Jiang Xia still didn't go home, but he took his parents to the magic capital to celebrate the New Year.

The filming of "The Matrix" is progressing quite well, and after Jiang Xia shoots the right shots, he handed them over to the special effects team and let them start production.

Jiang Xia is trying to make "The Matrix" release in the summer of next year.

The production of special effects shots will be relatively slow, so Jiang Xia let the special effects team of "The Matrix" shoot and produce at the same time.

In this way, there are generally waste shots, but Jiangxia can minimize the waste rate.

When "Falling" was in production, it was made like this, making special effects shots while shooting, wasting quite a lot of shots and wasting a lot of money.

During the Spring Festival, the pre-sale box office of "Infernal Affairs 2" finally ushered in an opponent.

The blockbuster led by Yang Ruoman fought a battle with "Infernal Affairs 2", with a total pre-sale of more than 200 million at the box office on the first day, and the two movies were almost half divided, which was completely different from last year's "Infernal Affairs".

After the first day, "Infernal Affairs 2" did not have the exaggerated rating of last year's "Infernal Affairs", and there were many praises, but there were also some negative reviews, mainly focused on the two small leading actors.

The teenager Liu Jianming and the teenager Chen Yongren are not the protagonists in the movie, but only the protagonists in name.

The real starring roles should be Ni Yongxiao and Han Chen, and it can even be said that there is only Ni Yongxiao.

Ni Yongxiao, played by Shi Yingbo, showed off his acting skills in this movie, more than Lu Xiuping, and also attracted much attention.

Although there are also two actors in the blockbuster starring Yang Ruoman, the acting performance in this special effects blockbuster is obviously not as strong as the feeling in the feature film.

Jiang Xia did not appear in "Infernal Affairs 2", which disappointed many people.

It is said that "Infernal Affairs 2" is more like a prequel to "Infernal Affairs", but it is just named "Infernal Affairs 2".

In this part, he explained Chen Yongren's family situation, the grievances between Liu Jianming and Han Chen, how Han Chen made his fortune, the grievances between Huang Zhicheng, and why the two were so familiar.

If Jiang Xia looks at it himself, among the three "Infernal Affairs", his favorite is the first part, followed by the third part, and then the second part.

Just like everyone's perception of "Infernal Affairs 2", the juvenile version of Chen Yongren and the juvenile version of Liu Jianming are really incomparable with the old actors in terms of acting skills.

Jiang Xia and Le Xu, among the supporting roles of actors, can show their demeanor, but they can't, they have no sense of existence at all.

So when Jiang Xia played the subtitles at the end of the film, he played "Leading Starring: Shi Yingbo".

It means to tell everyone that the protagonists of this film are not Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, but Ni Yongxiao is the real hero.

In the film review, some people also pointed out this problem.

and said frankly that Jiang Xia has helped Shi Yingbo book next year's Golden Horse and Academy Awards, and if there is no movie as brilliant as "Infernal Affairs", he will definitely not run.

But in the same way, some critics pointed out that it is a bit unrealistic for Jiangxia's film to win the "Best Director" again, and it is impossible to award the "Best Director" to the same person in a row at the two awards ceremonies of the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue.

Jiang Xia only pouted at this.

He had a little idea of re-election, but after thinking about it for so many years, there was indeed no re-election, so he sighed slightly, and could only wait for the opportunity, such as "Infernal Affairs 3" and "The Matrix".

Separating the two films may work wonders.

Jiang Xia was considering this possibility.

When "Infernal Affairs 2" was released, the Oscars also opened.

The Oscars are very face-saving this year, Jiang Xia was shortlisted for "Best Actor", the movie "Infernal Affairs" was shortlisted for "Best Foreign Language Film", and at the same time, Jiang Xia was also shortlisted for "Best Director".

As China's most well-known artist in the world, many foreigners only know Jiangxia except for the most well-known top leaders.

Jiangxia is now like a business card.

Like Yao Ming in his previous life, he has many fans in the world.

Football fans know Jiang Xia very well, and the movie series "Superstar" curated by Jiang Xia is very much in line with their taste.

In particular, Tanzan, a rising football star in Newcastle, has a lot of respect for Jiang Xia.

He imitated Ronaldo's "pendulum pass" in the movie before being discovered by scouts, and finally it was Moses who spent money to bring him to the Magpies, and now he has been in the Magpies for three years, helping the team win a Champions League, and has the potential to become a world-class superstar, known as the number one striker in football in the next decade.

Tanzan has recommended Jiang Xia's works on social networking sites many times, and once got a full set of Jiang Xia's signed albums and autographed books from Moses, which were shown on social networking sites.

Jiang Xia was not familiar with him and did not respond, but he sent him a letter through Moses and asked him to cheer up and play football.

There are many similar things, the basketball team of the United States, many people have publicly stated that they are fans of Jiangxia, especially like Jiangxia's movies and music, and many people have also shown off a space walk in an interview.

Jiangxia, which is very well-known abroad, it doesn't seem to be big news to be shortlisted for an Oscar "Best Actor", but being shortlisted for a Chinese film makes Chinese filmmakers very uplifted.

Jiang Xia used movies to pry open the door to the world step by step, so that people in China can see that it's not that we can't do it, it's that you don't work seriously, it's really a good work, and the Oscars can see it.

After the Oscars, although the four major crews of "Infernal Affairs" were empty, the appearance of Chinese stars also accounted for a lot of space in the report on the second day.

Three days after the award ceremony, Jiang Xia met an old friend he had not seen for a long time in the magic capital - Oge, the producer of the movie "Falling" series.

"Jiang, long time no see. As soon as Auge came up, he gave Jiang Xia a hug.

Jiang Xia said politely, and asked, "Mr. Ogge, you came to me, what's the matter?"

"Jiang, that's the case, I wonder if you've paid attention to the Fall series?" asked Ogy.

"I'm sorry Mr. Og, I didn't pay attention. Jiang Xia said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, our Fall series is about to have its final installment, and in this final part, you are featured in Mr. Will's script, so I'm here to invite you to play Geralt again. Og understood.

Jiang Xia didn't speak, he muttered for a long time, but still refused: "Mr. Ogg, I'm very sorry, I'm filming my movie now, as a director and star, I really can't leave, I'm sorry." ”

"No, no, no, Jiang, we don't need you to leave, we can set up a venue in China to shoot your scenes. Director Martin said, it only takes a month, only borrow your time for a month, really, only need a month, Jiang, I have read the script, without Geralt, the story really can't be complete. Auger said anxiously.

Jiang Xia said: "I still need to think about it, I'm sorry, Mr. Og." ”

"Okay then, Jiang, I'll give you the script, you read it first. I will be waiting for you in China for a month, and I hope to get good news before I leave China. Auger said.

"It's hard to say. Jiang Xia didn't give him an expectation, and he was ambiguous.

Ogur left dejectedly.
