Chapter 755: Compliments
Just as netizens thought, "The Matrix" exploded at the box office and around it, so Lin Han had enough funds to invest in the special effects production of "The Matrix 2". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because three movies were shot at the same time, the shooting cost was saved to the greatest extent, and even if he spent more money on visuals, the total investment cost was only the level of Hollywood B-grade films.
In fact, A-level B-level C-level movies do not refer to the content of the movie, but the division of investment costs in the industry.
For example, A-level production is the dream of all actors, and the investment needs to be more than 100 million US dollars.
With inflation, this number is only going to get higher!
And B-grade movies are the kind of movies that lack budget, usually have no big stars, high and low quality, and are mainly in the genre of movies that the public likes.
Hollywood's dozens of A-grade productions every year are movies at the top of the pyramid, while B-grade films, low-budget films, and independent films form the base of the pyramid.
Even B-grade movies often make good movies, and the more classic ones are "Kill Bill", "A Clockwork Orange", "Mulholland Drive" and so on!
The famous actor Jason Statham is the king of B-grade films, but in recent years, he has also been involved in A-grade productions.
The production cost of "The Matrix" is so low, but the box office revenue is so high, so it is deservedly called the film with the highest investment output ratio last year!
This is the second consecutive year that Lin Han has won this list, and the last time was "Immortality" that helped him win the championship.
Of course, "Immortality" got a box office of nearly 200 million yuan at a cost of more than 100,000 yuan, and this kind of earth-shattering investment income ratio has left a strong comparison in the entire history of film development.
The production cost of "The Matrix" on the famous box office website box-office-mojo is $40 million, and the global box office is $1.07 billion, which is equivalent to earning back $26.5 for every $1 invested!
Of course, this can't compare with the revenue of "Immortality" as many as thousands of times, but it is more than enough to exceed the rest of last year's films.
With the smallest cost, in exchange for the maximum benefit, businessmen like the most such thing.
Even if Lin Han is resting at home now, there are still countless companies and investors who want to cooperate with him, and they want to book the next film after the "Matrix" series!
For big directors, work is always piled up after a few years, and now Lin Han has made himself from an ordinary potential director to a well-known commercial director step by step.
The trailer of "The Matrix 2" has just come out, and there are quite a lot of praises coming to me, which means to get carried away!
"The first trailer of The Matrix 2 is coming, Neo incarnates as Superman to save Zion!"
"The trailer of the sequel to The Matrix, the most anticipated movie in the summer file, was announced, and the 30-second content exploded in the Super Bowl!"
"The Matrix 2 Trailer: Zion, the Last Base of Mankind, Revealed!"
"The scene is even higher, when the mechanical squid attacks Zion, how will Neo and his party save the last city of humanity?"
"Lin Han's new film narration exposes the content, if Zion doesn't have machines to use geothermal heat, if machines don't have humans to use as batteries, both will be destroyed!"
"Morpheus sweet enemy appeared, I didn't expect you to be such a Morpheus!"
"The coolest trailer for the Super Bowl, which broke 180 million hits within 24 hours of its launch, haven't you seen it yet?"
"Shocked! This sci-fi film that has attracted countless gringos is actually directed by Lin Han!"
The famous British magazine "Empire", the world's most influential film professional magazine, has selected the three most attractive trailers for this year's Super Bowl.
Among them, the top of the list is "The Matrix 2"!
It beat Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and Ace Agent 2, eclipsed Grand Theft Auto, and made Teddy Bear 3 a no-brainer!
Not only that, but it also released several character posters for "The Matrix 2", which is a win-win for them and Galaxy Pictures.
"Empire" magazine is very important to Hollywood A-list stars, not to mention Chu Guang, Xu Jiayan and others, and even Lin Han has a photo of his work on it!
From this short 30-second trailer, the major box office forecasting agencies have drawn important conclusions that the box office of this movie will never be worse than the previous one, and the only doubt is whether it will be 1.2 billion or 1.4 billion US dollars, or even more?
A special commentator for China's "Watching Movies" weekly wrote: "Lin Han is not only an excellent writer, he is also an excellent commercial director, creating a sci-fi world like The Matrix, and I believe that this series of trilogies will definitely be a screen classic!"
Whether it is an audience or a professional, they are full of expectations for "The Matrix 2", and they also have a hint of high expectations for "The Matrix" at the upcoming Oscars.
I don't expect it to be an upset and win Best Picture, but can it win some visual effects and sound awards?
After all, the excellent visuals in The Matrix are obvious to all, and although it doesn't cost much, every special effects shot is impressive.
In particular, the bullet time and the ripples of the explosion are simply reminiscent, and the GIFs made have swept the Internet!
Visual effects (VFX) refers to the various means by which images are created and manipulated outside of live action.
One of its most important features is the ability to create realistic environments through the combination of live action and generated imagery!
The nomination criteria for the Oscar for Best Visual Effects are the contribution of visual effects to the overall production of the film, the artistry, technical level and realism of visual effects.
"The Matrix" uses a lot of live special effects, such as the most classic bullet time, which is shot by itself with hundreds of cameras, and the creativity is very strong, and there is no blind CG production.
This is probably the most likely golden man for "The Matrix", and everyone is seriously analyzing who will win the award in Jurassic Park and The Matrix!
It's not surprising that any movie wins, it's well deserved, but Spielberg They don't lack this award, but Lin Han's personal honor is pitiful.
It is impossible for everyone in the world to praise it unanimously, and some magazines and filmmakers and audiences are singing against the general trend, they think that the commerciality of Lin Han's films far exceeds the artistry.
If it goes on like this, it's just another Michael Bay who will explode!
Some of them are really thinking about Lin Han's follow-up directorial career, while some are fishing in troubled waters and want to take the opportunity to sting Lin Han.
