Chapter 1175 again

"Initial D" has just been released, and the long-awaited "The Matrix: Reloaded" is about to be staged.

Many domestic movies want to scold their mothers.

Because the release time of "The Matrix: Reloaded" is the month of domestic protection.

It's been decades, and the so-called domestic protection month is still there, which also makes Jiangxia complain, but it's okay.

The existence of the domestic protection month has made many low-cost movies that want to gamble here, avoiding Hollywood super blockbusters.

However, the release of Jiang Xia's "The Matrix: Reloaded" bankrupted their plans.

is completely at the level of a Hollywood super blockbuster, an old work more than ten years ago, the first super movie to win the global box office of $1.2 billion during the Spring Festival, and PK on the same stage with a group of their small-budget movies, which is simply for Wu Song and Sun Wukong to fight, which is not an order of magnitude at all.

However, it is clear that the second part of "The Matrix: Reloaded" is obviously not as strong as the box office of the first part.

Although it has also been silent for more than ten years, after the super high box office explosion of the first part, the box office of "The Matrix: Reloaded" has shown its due results.

By the time it was released, the total global box office had only exceeded $600 million, half of the $1.2 billion in the first part.

Jiangxia Movies has exceeded one billion movies in a row, and finally broke the box office myth in this one and dropped one billion.

For the box office of this movie, Jiang Xia didn't pay much attention to it.

600 million US dollars, the cost has long been recovered.

Even, Qianqiu Pictures doesn't pay much attention to the box office of the "Matrix" trilogy, and letting it be released is more of an obsession.

The filming of "The Grandmaster" is still so slow, but fortunately, the actors have entered the role well, and the main actor Gong Shan has entered the role quite well.

It is more difficult for Jiang Xia himself to enter the role, he is not only an actor but also a director, and he is a bit divided.

Zhang Luofu is fine, and he urged Jiang Xia to write the script.

However, Jiang Xia wrote half of it, but threw the script to Zhang Luofu.

"You write it for him?" Gong Shan asked curiously.

"I wrote half of it for him, and the second half of it gave him an outline, if he couldn't write it, he would have studied it for so many years as a director. Jiang Xia said.

"Not necessarily, if you ask me to write a script, I can't write it. Gong Shan said, "Does he really have the ability?"

"There must be, it's a big deal to let him write a few more times, as a director, you have to have the ability to make movies according to other people's scripts, and you have to have the ability to write your own scripts, because not all the time you can have a good script for him. Being a director, waiting for a good script? It's not my style. Jiang Xia said.

"Everyone has a different style, why do you force him to learn from you. Gong Shan said to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia said: "It's not for him to learn from me, practice brings true knowledge." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Xia turned around and sat on the chair.

Stretching comfortably, he said: "Over the years, you have also seen that many teachers of Chinese opera and Beijing Film have switched careers to make movies, and they have a lot of theoretical knowledge, but what about the movies they make? box office, awards, and word of mouth, none of them are qualified, all of them are bad movies." This is a typical theory divorced from practice, but some actors have changed careers to become directors, and they have done a good job, which is practice brings true knowledge. ”

"So?" Gong Shan said, coming to give Jiang Xia a slap on the shoulder.

Before, when Jiang Xia was filming, her shoulder was slightly injured, and she also massaged Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia said: "So, as a director, you have to keep filming, you have to keep yourself busy, and you can't have free time." ”

"Just like you?" said Gong Shan.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "You can't be like me, I'm too special." Other directors and screenwriters, without my high output and high quality, generally speaking, can produce a movie in two years, which is quite good. Even for me, it's hard to achieve the high production of one movie a year now, and I have to produce one movie every two years. ”

"The investment is big, and it's difficult to shoot, a blockbuster in two years, it's fast enough. Gong Shan said.

"It's also invested now. Jiang Xia said, "Otherwise, it will be difficult to make a good movie, but when the generation of grandmasters is almost finished, the next script can be prepared, and it is also the last script I tailor-made for you, whether you can win the Oscar for Best Actress, it depends on your fate." ”

"No problem. Gong Shan said, "If the next work is really as good as that, and I can't get it, I can only accept my fate." ”

"If you win the Best Actress, it will be the first Chinese and will definitely go down in history. Jiang Xia said.

Gong Shan said: "Now it is also recorded in history. ”

"It's different, after all, the level and concept of winning Best Actress are different. Jiang Xia said.

"What about you, do you have a movie for yourself that won Best Actor?" asked Gong Shan curiously.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "There is a preparation, but like you, it depends on your fate." It was a film I had for myself to be 60 years old, and I wouldn't start filming until then. ”

"I'm curious now, how many scripts and movies did you prepare during the filming of Harry Potter?" asked Gong Shan.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Guess?"

"Guess your size. ”

Gong Shan pinched Jiang Xia and made Jiang Xia "ouch" in pain.

"It hurts. Jiangxia said.

"It hurts you. Gongshan said.

Jiang Xia pouted.

"Let's film well. Gongshan said.

"Well, shoot well. Jiang Xia nodded.

"The Grandmaster" has to be filmed well, but at the same time, the last part of the "Matrix" series has also begun to be promoted.

The movie was originally planned to be released for the Chinese New Year, but the schedule was advanced by a month and will be released in mid-November.

The reason for bringing the schedule forward is to make way for blockbusters.

Qianqiu Pictures has other movies this year to fight for the New Year, and it is also a movie with an investment of more than 300 million, the movie version of Jiangxia's super IP "Star Change".

Jiang Xia himself doesn't know how "Star Change" should be adapted into a movie, he doesn't care, he can't care about it, what is his love.

The release of "The Matrix: Matrix Revolution" is not optimistic at the box office.

It is true that the global box office is more than 600 million and less than 700 million, which cannot be considered high.

The entire trilogy of movies has a global box office of $2.2 billion, which is not low among the same trilogy films, and can even be said to be quite high.

What's more, these three series of movies were all released within a year, and the box office potential was also overdrawn.

No series of movies has been released so frequently, but every year later, maybe it will be better.

However, Jiangxia is not without gains.

At the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars in the new year, Jiang Xia once again won the "Best Director" for "The Matrix", and was also shortlisted for "Best Actor" and "Best Screenplay".

After more than ten years, Jiangxia won the "Best Director" again!
