Chapter 20: I, the male protagonist of "The Matrix".
"William, what movie?"
"It seems to be about hackers, I can't remember the name of the movie?"
"William, is it called "The Matrix"? Is it called "The Matrix"!" Li Fulong took William's hand and asked excitedly.
It's no wonder that Li Fulong is so excited, "The Matrix" is one of the most influential science fiction films at the end of the century.
With its grand setting background and the perfect combination of Chinese action and sci-fi, it can be described as a near-perfect sci-fi action movie.
Especially the "bullet time" and "human beings are planted" god settings that fans talk about.
Even Nolan's "Inception" is a lot of reference, and is called "the 'Matrix' in "The Matrix"
In fact, "The Matrix" only needs to watch the first part, which is very classic. The last two are simply terrible, I don't know what to say, the plot is simply unbearable.
And the heroine in the movie doesn't know why, the more she shoots, the uglier she gets!
"Like, I'll help you ask!"
"William, please, that's it, I don't care, I want this, I want the role of this movie! I must get an audition! I want it now!"
"Okay then, I'll call and ask, and I'll fight for this role for you!"
With "The Matrix", who cares about other "garbage" movies!
I'm going to be the hero of The Matrix!
I will be "overnight famous"!
I'm going to be a big star!
I will become an idol in the hearts of the world's horrors!
Li Fulong has now fantasized stupidly, and even laughed out loud, as if this character was his own, and he would come as soon as he was called.
"Li Fulong, this little guy is still too tender, the selection of films is too child's play, I don't want to play big-budget films, I have to act in hacker movies that no one plays. ”
William couldn't understand Li Fulong's world at all, and William thought to Li Fulong as he looked so excited.
However, this "The Matrix" also caught William's attention, so William picked up the phone in his hand and prepared to ask about the movie.
"Hey Bruce, let me ask if Warner is going to make a movie called 'Black Empire?......"
“… Oh... Is it called "Twenty-Two Century Killing Network"...... Who is in charge of this project...... Joe Silvo is the producer, well... Okay..."
“… Oh... Is it...... Go there and get the script?...... Good... When to look in the mirrors?...... Eddie, is it okay?......"
“… OK… Thank you... No problem..."
When William called, Li Fulong also calmed down, he hadn't gotten the role yet, and everything was still in a bubble.
Seeing William finish the call, Li Fulong asked excitedly.
"William, how's it going?
"Well, there is really this project, I'm going to re-look the mirror actor, the script will be available tomorrow, and then we'll study the plan for the mirror!"
"Oh, yes, great, thank you, William, this is going to be the most important opportunity of my life!"
Li Fulong trembled a little when he spoke.
Are you ready to be a big star?
So, the day after he got the script, Li Fulong pulled William to study the plan for the goggles.
After all, this time the mirror is related to the direction of his future.
"No wonder Will Smith, Nicolas Cage, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and so many others refused to play!"
"Eddie, I really don't understand, no wonder Warner's investment budget is not large, and we have to consider newcomers!"
"But this time it's an internal mirror, and you only need to do it once, so it's really an opportunity!"
William read the script once and didn't know what it said, so he said to Li Fulong depressedly.
Will Smith refused to star in "The Matrix" and went to film "Hurricane", calling him the last mistake of his life.
An old friend of the Chinese people, Nicolas Cage rejected the male protagonist Neo for family reasons.
Brad Pitt, the man was the first choice of Warner's top brassiers, but he said "no" directly.
Yes, Xiao Li also refused, but he was worried that the special effects of the movie would not be good due to insufficient budget. Xiao Li's talent for picking books has been reflected here.
"yes, that's great, we have a better chance without these big stars!"
"I just understand, I'm in charge of the mirror, you're in charge of liaison, we're a golden partner?"
"This is our chance, and there will be times when they regret it!"
Li Fulong is becoming more and more confident in the future, as long as he becomes famous in this fight, he will not be soft on the script in the future.
At that time, I won't be able to pick a good script based on the memory of my previous life, and the more successful I will be by then, the more successful I will be, and it won't be a matter of minutes to win an Oscar.
Li Fulong began to fantasize again.
In terms of the greatest return on investment, it is not only the Internet that can reap a hundredfold and thousandfold return on an actor sometimes with just one opportunity, a movie.
And movies, rich and rich, fatal and famous, can really be described as fame and fortune.
Look at Daniel Craig before James Bond in "007" to know.
Of course, all of this is based on the fact that Li Fulong can get this role.
Li Fulong also racked his brains to think.
And his biggest disadvantage is obvious, there is no box office appeal, and there are no movies with protagonists. ”
"My biggest advantage is that I have watched the full film than others, I am more familiar with the script, and I can understand the characters better!"
What to do?
How can you show your strengths, can you still say to others, "I've already seen this movie!"
And William, who was on the side, put down the nasty script and picked up a set of dark dresses to show Li Fulong.
"Look, I'm going on a date, do you think Sofia Coppola will like my outfit?"
"Yes, definitely. You're so handsome, you're in your 50s!"
Li Fulong sneered impatiently.
This old thing, when he was young, he didn't work hard, he just knew his work, but now that he is old, he plays romance.
is still chasing the daughter of the great director of "The Godfather" Francis Ford Coppola, this difficulty is not small, almost 20 years old, and I still play "grandson love", and I am not afraid that the "godfather" will shoot you!
Clothes, costumes, props, clothes, yes, clothes!
In addition to the wonderful plot and fights, the biggest highlight of "The Matrix" is the stylish windbreaker and sunglasses.
Isn't this the equipment that best reflects the temperament of the male protagonist!
"William, thank you, I need your help now, I need a set of clothes!"
"Help me order a dress, a high-necked Zhongshan suit in the front, and a windbreaker with a Chinese robe in the back, black and shiny!"
"And a pair of ultra-narrow sunglasses!"
"By the way, good luck on your date!"
As he spoke, Li Fulong jumped up directly and kissed William.
