On the last day of March, at the raucous premiere of "The Matrix", Barry Meyer finally raised his eyebrows. The internal preview screening of "The Matrix" www.biquge.info was screened by the audience, and the evaluation of both the media and the audience was quite good.

Since last year, he broke the mold and promoted the Wachowski brothers, the carpenter brothers, to serve as directors with a massive $60 million investment.

The pressure on him has been constant, especially with his rival Abel Samiton, who has not done much since he lost the rights to Harry Potter. On the contrary, he spared no effort to cause trouble for Barry Mayer and the "Matrix" team, from the rental of the studio, to the on-site shooting, to the production of post-production special effects, etc.

As the plans for The Matrix unfolded, so did the pressure on Barry Meyer, which has been around him for the past year.

It wasn't until the release of the film that the pressure that had been accumulated for more than a year was finally swept away, and whether it was success or failure, it was finally time to reveal the results.

Barry Meyer took a deep breath and smiled on the red carpet answering reporters' questions, feeling a mixture of nervousness and lightness.

He saw that the Wachowski brothers were also speaking to the media, and the two brothers' nervous looks were all written on their faces, but Barrymeyer knew that he was no more relaxed than them. If the Wachowski brothers tie their directing career together, then he combines his decades of work with his future career prospects.

As long as "The Matrix" is successful, then he will become one of the seven leaders at the helm of Hollywood. But if he fails, he will not only lose to Abel Samiton in the battle for the CEO, but he will also have to plan for his future.

After all, the bitterness of such office power struggles has always been no less than that of real political struggles.

He and Abel Samiton, whoever becomes the next CEO of Warner Pictures, the other will lose his foothold at Warner.

"This is a crazy thriller about the future, the film shows an imagination beyond the ordinary, but also combines the traditional science fiction sensibilities, and the film's new visual technical expression is indescribable. - Los Angeles Times

"It seems that the recent "Matrix" has a very good review, why don't you go and see it together?" asked Amy Adams, putting down the newspaper.

"Oh, you watch this kind of sci-fi action movie too?" Jeremy Renner asked in amazement.

"Go, just allow you men to watch science fiction movies, can't we women watch them?" Amy Adams flicked the newspaper over, and Jeremy deftly dodged it.

"Haha, well said, I've got you covered, Amy. Sid walked out of the stairs with Variety, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jeremy and Amy's words.

"Are you interested in going to see it?" asked Amy Adams.

"Well, if you want to see it, we can rent a screening room and have Lindsay and Britney come and see it. After all, this kind of blockbuster is only enjoyable to watch on the screen in the lobby. Sid said with a shrug.

"Bao Hall, how can such a tyrant thing be without me. I have to make friends. Jeremy Renner posted it "shamelessly".

"Go, I'm only interested in girls, and the five big and three thick men are going. Sid said with a look of disgust.

"Hahaha......" Amy Adams couldn't help but laugh when she saw the funny scene of the two men.

Just as Jeremy was about to say something, a car drove in from outside, and Sid looked up and laughed, "Looks like they've arrived." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

"Long time no see, Chris. Sid smiled and held out his hand.

"Hello, Sid. Christopher Nolan also smiled and shook his hand, and Jonathan Nolan and Emma Thomas shook hands with Sid one by one.

"It's Jeremy (Renner) and Amy (Adams), and I think you've seen them in the movies. Sid then introduced Jeremy and Amy to the Nolans.

"Of course, I really enjoyed the performances of the two in Little Sunshine Beauty. Chris and the others also greeted Jeremy and Amy with a smile.

"How does it feel to move to Los Angeles?" asked Sid.

"The California sunshine has made my health a lot better. Nolan's wife, Emma Nolan, said with a smile.

"Hehe, there aren't many other things in California, and the sun is the most abundant. Sid said with a smile.

After the pleasantries, several people sat down.

"Well, I've already read the script for "Fragments of Memory". Sid said as he pulled out the script he had given him earlier.

Hearing that the Nolan family opposite Sid couldn't help but be upright, Sid's judgment will greatly affect their next development in Hollywood.

"So, what do you think?" asked Chris (Nolan), his mood suddenly lifting.

"Well, the story itself is novel, although it doesn't reach the level of complexity of the parallel worlds, time travel we talked about last time. But the way to recount the story is indeed relatively novel and interesting. Sid's affirmative words made the Nolan family on the other side breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fragments of Memory", as Nolan's early film, was actually not put at the forefront of IMDB by die-hard fans until he became famous with the "Batman Prequel" series, but it is undeniable that the film is indeed groundbreaking.

After all, the year 2001, when "Memory Fragments" was launched, was an era when the term "butterfly effect" had not even become popular. Parallel time and space, multiverse gods, and horses are things that are insulated from the public.

"So when can we start filming ......" Chris (Nolan) asked with some eagerness, and if it weren't for his wife kicking him gently, he would have kept asking.

"Well, let's put it that way. Sid touched his chin, "First of all, of course I'm interested in investing in Memory Fragments, but I think Chris (Nolan) you need to make a few movies first and get familiar with how the Hollywood crew works, so that you have more control over the shooting and the crew." ”

"Well, that's good. Emma Nolan hurriedly said that she was afraid that her brainless husband would say something rude, so she immediately agreed.

"What do you think? Chris (Nolan). Sid looked at Chris (Nolan) with an unmoved smile.

"Can I pick the script myself?" said Chris (Nolan).

"Chris (Nolan)!" Emma Nolan shouted eagerly.

"Of course, I've written two plays recently, so I don't know which one you want to choose?" Sid smiled and pulled out two brand new scripts from behind him.

"Sid, your script!?" exclaimed Jonathan (Nolan), who had not spoken all the time, as the youngest Oscar for best screenplay in history, exclaimed.

In the hearts of insiders, it is already a supernova that is rapidly rising. And Sid has never had anyone else shoot his own script so far, and he has always been a script director.

Now Sid is willing to take out the newly written script and shoot it for Nolan, which is simply pie in the sky.

"Jonathan!" said Emma Nolan helplessly.

"Hehe, do you want to see it?" Sid asked with a smile.

"Eun!" Jonathan nodded like a kid seeing candy, and even Chris (Nolan) next to him couldn't help but sigh.

"Then you should read this book first. Sidsey went over one and then handed the other to Chris (Nolan), "This is the one I think is the best for you to shoot right now - 'Buried Alive.'" ”

"Buried Alive?" Chris (Nolan) was immediately attracted by the title on the cover.

"Yes, the story is about an American construction contractor who was attacked by a group of Iraqis while working in Iraq and woke up to find himself in a rudimentary wooden coffin. He had to use his mobile phone and lighter to escape in a race against time. Sid's story is simple, but it's compelling.

"And the story takes place ......?" Chris flipped through two pages, surprised to find that the story seemed to be more interesting than he thought.

"In the coffin!" Sid nodded, "All the stories happen in a coffin, and the protagonist is only one person!"

"A one-man show? Sounds interesting. Chris (Nolan) raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"You'll know it if you've read the script. Sid smiled confidently, and then he turned his head to say, "So for "Buried Alive", the most important thing is the actor, and I have also chosen the actor for you, which is Jeremy (Reina). ”

"Jeremy (Reina)?" Chris (Nolan) thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

Chris (Nolan) has seen all of Sid's films, and has already judged Jeremy (Renner), who has a very solid performance in "Black Hole", "Curfew" and even "Little Miss Sunshine".

This is indeed a powerful actor who is growing rapidly, although Sid's all-encompassing designated starring role seems a bit domineering.

But as long as it's the right actor, Chris (Nolan) doesn't mind using it. Besides, this is, after all, Sid's script, Sid's investment, and Sid's company.

So Chris (Nolan), who still holds the idea of studying in Hollywood, is very humble. After all, he is just a small foreign director who has made an amateur movie, and he is far from arrogant.
