Chapter 1169 The Question of Identity
The Matrix was a huge success!
Word-of-mouth and box office double harvest!
Jiang Xia couldn't help but smile when he heard the results of the box office in the first week.
At the beginning, Qianqiu Pictures had just been established, and 600 million yuan of investment was smashed in, and there was not even a splash, which invisibly delayed the development speed of Qianqiu Pictures, and now it seems that the original insistence seems to be right.
In the summer, there will be a second "The Matrix: Reloaded" released, which is very fast and will not make the audience wait too long.
In foreign countries, the reputation of "The Matrix" exploded.
As many people in China have analyzed, although "The Matrix" is a movie more than ten years ago, it perfectly integrates a large number of Eastern and Western actors into one movie.
In today's Hollywood blockbusters, Chinese faces are often seen, He Ying, Gong Shan, Xiang Ying and others are even more familiar, and there are also some new actors who join, but they are all minority.
In Chinese films, some Hollywood stars are often invited to participate, and there are also a few.
It's not that there are fewer movies, but the number of people who participate in movies is small.
Actors from the East and the West, it seems that in a movie, there must always be one that occupies the mainstream, and it is difficult to integrate the two elements, and there must be one dominant.
Nowadays, "The Matrix" seems to solve this problem perfectly, the Eastern and Western actors are almost half divided, the story takes place in a Chinese city, the environment is Chinese, but the core of the story is indeed a Hollywood-style Western story.
Cinematic elements from the East and the West blend perfectly, from ancient hand-to-hand combat, to modern firearms, and even the mechatronics of the future.
It can be said that a "Matrix" mixes all the elements of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and the integration is so appropriate.
For this alone, Jiang Xia's contribution is enough to go down in history.
Many academic film researchers have begun to study how Jiangxia integrates these elements just right to see if they can be promoted.
Cultural exchange and cultural integration are the mainstream of the world, and under the condition of ensuring their own characteristics, more active exchanges can lead to more development.
In an interview, a well-known Hollywood director mentioned Jiang Xia's "The Matrix".
He said: "Yes, I love the Matrix movie. This is Jiang's work more than ten years ago, and I didn't think about how great it was until I saw it, and when I saw it, I felt that it was one of the greatest works of this century. ”
"Yes, great. Its greatness lies mainly in the fact that it has developed a new way of thinking, which tells us that the film culture of the East and the West can be integrated, and shows us a broader path. There are also a lot of good actors in China, and there are a lot of good actors in Hollywood, and we have been promoting cooperation between the two parties, and there has been no better angle, which is something that has been working hard for many years without results. ”
"Now we know that Jiang had found a way more than ten years ago, but unfortunately he didn't accept the interview, which made us take a lot of detours. The Matrix has its rightful place, Jiang Xia is the best director of this era, yes, you heard it right, I didn't say one, he is the best director, the best filmmaker. ”
The praise is high.
The media reported with the title of "The Best Filmmaker", specifically pointing out that Jiang Xia is the best director and the best filmmaker of this era.
It's an exaggeration, but the backlash has been small.
Jiangxia's tens of billions of dollars at the box office are listed there, and they have been shortlisted for the Oscar "Best Director" many times, integrating directors, screenwriters, and actors, and are talented.
Brilliant to the point of despair.
Better than his acting skills, not as good as his screenwriter, better than his screenwriter, not as good as his director, better than his director, not as good as his acting skills.
Besides, in these three areas, who would dare to say that he could surpass him in any of them?
Hopelessly powerful.
The industry has launched a worship of Jiangxia, and expressed admiration for Jiangxia in foreign media and social networking sites.
Then, the music circle next door is unhappy, the collective is unhappy, Jiang Xia is also a very strong singer, okay? The fourteen-minute dance video has simply influenced an era, even now it is a classic action.
Why is it that in the eyes of your film industry, there is no such thing as our music industry?
As a result, the music circle also began to worship Jiangxia, not to say how strong Jiangxia is, but to declare its existence.
Foreign artists collectively began to advocate Jiangxia, making the Chinese a little confused, what did Jiangxia do? Suddenly a group of people said that Jiangxia was invincible?
Jiang Xia himself was a little inexplicable.
Foreign media advocated him, and his team naturally notified him as soon as possible, but Jiang Xia was inexplicable and didn't know what the situation was.
He can only let the team understand first.
Although Jiang Xia was not happy, You Fangfei still forcibly arranged a team for him, and the reason used made Jiang Xia unable to refute that he was old and had to be taken care of by his side.
At the age of being in his fifties, he is not young, but with his physical state, he really doesn't look like a person in his fifties, but You Fangfei's kindness, Jiang Xia can only respond.
Soon, the reason why the foreign media advocated Jiangxia was found, and it turned out to be a sentence from the director, so there was this situation where all people advocated Jiangxia.
After Jiang Xia heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he had nothing to say.
Gong Shan laughed and said, "Don't you respond?" ”
"Let me be humble and polite? I don't, after all, I do think I'm the best. Jiang Xia said.
"I thought about it carefully, but I couldn't refute it. Gong Shan said, "You are not as good as some super directors in terms of total awards, but you are very powerful in breadth." ”
"The awards will slowly catch up. Jiang Xia said, "The most Oscars for Best Director should be four, I won twice, but I was shortlisted five times, right? Wait, I will definitely win five times." ”
"You remember wrong, the most Oscars for Best Director are three and the most nominations are six. Gong Shan said.
"Well, I don't remember that data as well as you do. Jiang Xia said, "Anyway, my goal is to try to win five times." ”
"Come on, then. Gong Shan said, "I'm optimistic about you." ”
"Thank you. Jiang Xia said.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Jiang Xia finally did not respond to foreign news, and Qianqiu Pictures did not respond, the news was lively for a while, and after "The Matrix" was released at the box office of 1.2 billion US dollars, it did not continue to discuss.
"The Matrix" didn't win the box office in China, let alone anywhere else, and "Harry Potter" was just too powerful.
"The Matrix" can have the current box office results of 1.2 billion, or Jiang Xia's personal bonus, otherwise it will definitely not have such a high box office.
