Chapter 1090: Unfalsifiable
Chapter 1090 cannot be falsified
The Matrix!
The sci-fi trilogy that Jiang Xia came up with is naturally the extremely influential "The Matrix"!
This is a film story that cannot be falsified.
Just like the law of the dark forest proposed in the popular "Three-Body Problem" in the previous life, this cannot be falsified.
We can't be sure if we're living in an illusory world of The Matrix.
The three scripts were given to You Fangfei and them.
Several people collectively watched it, from the first script.
Jiang Xia sat aside and closed his eyes to rest.
After continuous filming, he was also a little tired.
Soon, after several people finished reading the first story, or before they finished reading it, Gong Shan said in surprise: "Jiang Xia, what do you think of this story?
"It seems that there is no way to prove that it is fake. You Fangfei sighed.
Zhang Pengpeng continued to look down and said, "I have a question, why are all personal names foreign?"
"Good translation into English. Jiang Xia said, "Moreover, among the actors, some foreigners will be invited to play." In both the illusory world and the real world, there are people of all races. ”
"No problem. Zhang Pengpeng said.
The others are okay with that.
In the script, the names used by Jiang Xia are basically foreigners' names, which follow the original book very well.
He didn't want to make it into a pure Chinese film in the first place.
Such a science fiction movie, made into a movie starring only Chinese, is not very scientific.
There are many Chinese elements in the original "The Matrix", from costumes to actions, to some lines, and even some scenes, there are Chinese elements in it.
Jiangxia plans to shoot "The Matrix" with Chinese elements and other elements.
A film that faces the world must have such a comprehensive element in it.
Jiang Xia's plan for this movie came after filming "Journey to the West", when he wanted to make a movie that hit the world box office again.
When he was in the pirate's den, he thought about filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", but after thinking about it, if he wanted to shoot that series, the actors had to invite European and American actors, which did not meet some of his requirements.
Eventually, he set his sights on The Matrix.
The movie itself has Chinese elements, plus the script is excellent and the story is excellent, it is definitely the best choice.
The only difficulty at that time was funding.
Later, after You Fangfei told him how much money he had, Jiang Xia decided to start filming this movie.
The investment of 600 million yuan is the first film, and the follow-up investment funds can be recovered from film investments such as "Infernal Affairs" and "Chainsaw", and can continue to invest.
Moreover, the investment of 600 million yuan is not taken out by Qianqiu Pictures alone, they have such a good relationship with Hengying now, they have to join forces, and even cooperate with foreign companies.
Jiang Xia delineated that a maximum of four companies can invest, and if there are more, it will make his voice smaller.
The most difficult part of the whole story is the special effects.
The original movie was released in 2001, and the special effects technology at that time was obviously a little weaker than later.
Now you have to surpass it in terms of special effects alone.
So the special effects team must invite the top.
This is also the reason why Jiang Xia must come to meet the person in charge of the special effects team in person, if he doesn't meet in person, he has no bottom in his heart.
After reading the script of the first part, Gong Shan quietly took a picture, put his name on a mosaic, and sent it to a meager one: "The script of the legendary 600 million movie!
Comments from netizens came quickly.
In addition to shaking the wit and asking for praise, many people are curious to ask: "What science fiction story?"
"What does it mean to be unfalsifiable? ”
"What does it mean to be unfalsifiable?"
"Isn't it stupid? I just can't prove it's fake, and I'm curious, what kind of story is it?"
"Sci-fi? unfalsifiable? Tsk, my curiosity has been piqued. ”
"Is it really so powerful?
"What kind of story is it? Can't you name me?"
"Excuse me, is it difficult to falsify?"
"Go upstairs and check it yourself. ”
"Is Jiang Xia really going to make a big move this time?"
……
Qianqiu Pictures' official meager did not post this, but posted a picture of Jiang Xia talking with the person in charge of the special effects team, accompanied by the text: "Director Jiang communicates with the head of the top special effects team, guess how much money was signed for the contract? ”
Downstairs there was a lot of guessing numbers.
The highest reached 500 million, and the lowest was 300 million.
No one knows what the sci-fi movie Jiang Xia is going to make will look like, so they can only guess.
In fact, the contract signed by Jiang Xia with the special effects team is floating, after all, it is a trilogy, so only the special effects shots of the first part were signed, and it did not reach an exaggerated 500 million, but more than 300 million points, which is equivalent to exactly 50 million US dollars.
There are still fewer special effects shots in the first part, which is much less than the second and third parts.
The main task of the first part of "The Matrix" is to build the world, to establish that unreal and real world.
Of course, there must be special effects shots, which are not exaggerated.
Jiang Xia's three scripts were left in Qianqiu Pictures, and the next preparations were handed over to You Fangfei to be responsible, and Ding Yiyi assisted from the side.
"I think it would be better if you could change the name of the person to something Chinese. Natalie said to Jiang Xia.
"Well, why?" Jiang Xia asked curiously.
At this time, the two were on the plane to Xiangjiang, all the scenes of Gong Shan had been completed, and Natalie still had some scenes, so she followed Jiang Xia back to Xiangjiang.
"I think it's not good to make a movie in China because the name is too Western. That's my opinion, and you're right, if you face the world, it would be better to translate. Natalie said.
Jiang Xia said: "Okay, I'll think about it, and I'll discuss it later." ”
"Yes. Natalie nodded.
Jiang Xia asked, "Are you still practicing martial arts?"
"Yes, Shanshan said that I am very good. Natalie gestured in a fighting stance.
"That's good, when my hacker trilogy is finished, maybe a series of movies will be tailored with you as the protagonist. Jiang Xia said.
"What movie?" asked Natalie curiously, "why isn't Shanshan the main character?"
"She's too busy, Shanshan is not suitable for this kind of filming method that is bound to a certain role. Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "The disadvantage of the series of movies is that people bind themselves to the characters, and after this series, it may be more difficult for you to take on other movies." ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I only make our company's movies. Natalie laughed.
"Yes. Jiang Xia smiled.
On the plane, looking at the sky outside the window, Jiang Xia's eyes were full of contemplation.
