Chapter 552: Big Ambition
The sequel to "The Matrix" was not put on the agenda because the first part of the previous one had a good box office and good reputation, but they were originally a complete story, but the first movie time could not accommodate so much content, so it was divided into three.

Unlike the first installment, which received worldwide acclaim, "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" is the role of the previous and the next in the trilogy, and it is also the episode that has caused the most controversy and discussion!
The classic thing about this series of movies is that each one has found a breakthrough where the audience thinks it has developed to the extreme, and it is reasonable.
In the first part, Triniti kissed Snow White and woke up Snow White, making Neo a savior, incarnating as a superman in the mother's body and killing all sides; In the second part, Neo begins to block the mechanical octopus with his bare hands in the "real world", and pinches Trinity's heart with his hand to bring her back to life; In the third part, Neo was blinded after failing to kill the boss alone, but after he was blind, he was able to see more things, and he could see through his skin the agents who had infiltrated the "real world" from his mother.
"The Matrix" cost $63 million, earned $460 million at the global box office, and won four awards at the Oscars, one of which was the best film editing known as the outpost of the Oscars for Best Picture, which was an extremely outstanding result at the time!
The story itself has a very sci-fi entry point, most people in the future world have become biological batteries in captivity by machines, drunk and dreaming of dying in the virtual world.
This idea allows the audience to think about the reality and illusion of the world they are in, and of course, the extreme domination of human beings is an interesting fantasy that can easily hit the large hollow stronghold.
The reason why it is so popular and popular, "The Matrix" also has a complete storyline, high. The tide is repeated, and there are overwhelming visual effects, these three are fused together, and the audience feels the ultimate refreshment!
Especially in the second half of the movie, the traitor appears, rescues Morpheus, duels with the Men in Black, and Neo is resurrected, almost every paragraph maintains a sense of tension and excitement, but the progress of the plot is very smooth for everyone.
The audience doesn't have a show, and they don't have time to think about why such a battle is arranged, and almost every scene has memorable visuals: shootouts on the first floor, bullet time, helicopters smashing tall buildings, hovering bullets, codification of the parent world, etc......
Even for many viewers who can't understand the philosophy behind this movie, this is still a 100-point work. For viewers who are willing to expand their brains from this, it is 100 points plus 100 points!
……
Lin Han rubbed his hands, such a classic science fiction movie was born in his own hands, and it would be fake to say that he was not excited.
There are very important scenes in this series of movies, and the Wachowski brothers revolutionized the "bullet time" ultra-slow motion and ring shooting, which has become a classic shot in film and television!
The exaggerated reproduction of the elastic deformation of the object, as well as the air trailing caused by the bullet, are both pioneered by the Matrix, and the film has a very violent aesthetic and comes from the incense. Hong Kong's action director Yuan Heping cooperated with the director tacitly, combining the flying debris with the beautiful character movements, which is simply pleasing to the eye.
This also made Keanu Reeves complete a gorgeous transformation from a second-tier Hollywood actor to a super-first-line actor, and this movie is for him to interpret what is handsome and what is cool, and become an idol all over the world!
The sales of black trench coats and sunglasses were boosted by this movie, and the classic Nokia phone has also become a trend icon.
"The Matrix" is a successful fusion of science fiction and action, two concepts that are incompatible, and people can only admire the ingenuity of the conception
said a thousand things and ten thousand, and now "The Matrix" only has a preliminary idea, let alone starting filming, and even the script has not been written.
The production of a movie is mainly divided into the preparation stage, the shooting stage, and the post-production stage, and all three stages take a lot of time!
In the preparatory stage, it is mainly about the script, whether it is adapted or original.
In Lin Han's head, the plot of "The Matrix" is naturally there, and what he has to do now is to write this script, and at the same time plan to get the novel out!
Perhaps many people know that "The Matrix" is the original movie of the Wachowski brothers, but after the success of the movie, an official novel was also developed, and there was a movie before a novel.
Lin Han knew that this was a very good IP, and he tasted the benefits of the linkage between the novel and the movie, so he wanted to take out the novel together!
The novel of "The Matrix" is very large, the first part is equivalent to an introduction, according to the plot of the movie has been modified, added and deleted, the second and third parts are much larger, with Neo's dream as the trigger to write seven or eight interspersed timelines and story lines interspersed.
The Neo in the novel is much more powerful than in the movie, and it also details the mental growth of Morpheus and the rest of the captains, the destruction of five different worlds, and even the detailed description of the region of Zion.
It's just that since this is a domestic science fiction film, the background in the movie needs to be modified, and the name of the protagonist and the surrounding environment must be in line with the domestic situation.
Now sitting in the office, he can't write a novel, so he simply enters the registration of the National Copyright Office and fills in various forms, and registers the story first, so as not to leak the story or be stolen by others in the future, so that there are traces of lawsuits.
Lin Han already had a premonition that his preparation time would last for a long time, because he wanted to get the script of the "Matrix" trilogy out in one go, and at the same time write the novel, which is a big project!
The reason why he said earlier that he needed hundreds of millions of funds to shoot this movie was that he had an incomparable ambition, and he wanted to shoot the "Matrix" trilogy directly in one go, just like the original "Lord of the Rings".
There is a very common term for filming a series of movies, that is, "set shooting", to put it bluntly, it is concentrated filming and then released in episodes.
The term comes from Peter Jackson's production mode of filming "The Lord of the Rings", when "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was released, in fact, the later "Two Towers" and "The Return of the King" had already been filmed, and only some post-production work was needed, such as special effects processing and editing sound effects.
In this way, not only can you increase the coherence of the story itself, but you can also reduce costs.
You must know that a large part of the cost of "The Matrix 2" comes from the skyrocketing salaries of actors, Keanu Reeves and others have doubled in value after the success of "The Matrix"!
If you use the model of set shooting, then there will be no situation where actors ask for a price increase, they look like they are just making a movie.
It's a bit like the filming mode of a TV series, where the script is filmed in one go, and then divided into dozens of episodes.
If it weren't for the preparation of three movies to shoot together, then Lin Han wouldn't have needed such a high cost, this is an adventure, very dangerous, but worth a try!
