Chapter 564: There is a successor
Originally, "The Matrix" was just a novel that had just been serialized for less than ten days, and the plot had not yet fully developed anything, and readers knew little about this novel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But now that the movie has a synopsis written on it, even if it is only the content of the script of "The Matrix 1", it is enough to surprise fans.
"Synopsis: The real world is controlled by a computer artificial intelligence system called 'Matrix', and people are like animals raised by the Matrix, trapped in the imaginary world as biological batteries to contribute power to the Matrix, without freedom and thought. With the help of Morpheus, Trinity and others, the young hacker Neo gradually discovers the truth of the Matrix, peeks into the cornerstone of the world, and finally becomes a savior who can save humanity after hardship. Neo's awakening will bring the war between humans and machines into a new era!"
The synopsis quickly spread on the Internet, and many people who were originally fattening up for a new book couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this synopsis.
It can even be said that it refreshed their cognition of the follow-up plot!
"Isn't this a novel about hackers? How did it become a war between humans and machines, and even a savior?"
When readers think it's hackers vs. government departments, the truth is humans vs. artificial intelligence!
Weibo, QQ groups, and forums all started fierce discussions, Lin Han's stall is a bit big, and his readers and ordinary netizens are curious, how to shoot this story three times in one go.
……
In the quiet courtyard of a family in Yanjing, several middle-aged people with teacups or coffee are gathering together to chat, and young people not far away are looking here from time to time.
This is the nest of Yanjing's more established filmmakers, with tattered dark red sofas and wooden panes of old Chinese Yanjing elements, and even a big kang that needs to sit cross-legged for many years.
They bear witness to the people who come and go here year after year, whether it's gibberish, drunken gossip, or wise sayings.
On weekends, there is a flock of foreigners, occasional trimming, lovelorn, screenplay filmmakers, or old friends gatherings, each starting their own game.
There have been many movies and stories here, a small screenwriter was accidentally photographed by a big director, and a script was polished here little by little, so it can be regarded as a treasure of feng shui!
New people enter, old people stay, the team grows stronger, especially in the evening, and the chance of meeting acquaintances is greater.
Cui Lecheng shook the teacup slightly, and he said: "Lao Zheng, now you are amazing, you are another person who has bravely entered Hollywood." I heard you were nominated for Best Director at the Saturn Awards over there?"
Don't look at his gray beard, he wears a colorful shirt, but in fact, he is a famous Chinese director, who has won the Golden Rooster Award, the Golden Horse Award, the Berlin Film Festival, and the Venice Film Festival, and served as the chairman of the Tokyo Film Festival jury.
Zheng Shuping couldn't hide his proud look, and a huge smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "It's not enough to brave Hollywood, after all, I didn't take on Hollywood movies." As for the Saturn Prize, it doesn't make much sense, do you think anyone here cares about the Saturn Prize? ”
The Saturn Awards are an award organized by the American Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films to reward the best science fiction or horror productions in the field of film and television, as well as outstanding works with breakthroughs and innovations.
Generally speaking, the scope of nominations and the final result are film and television works or filmmakers that are liked by the majority of fans, and last year, "The Martian" was also coquettish in North America, so it is normal to be nominated!
This is a relatively professional award, except for people who like this aspect and netizens who pay attention to North American entertainment, the mainstream media rarely reports it.
Besides, in Zheng Shuping's resume, a Saturn Award nomination for Best Director is nothing!
"Now the momentum of domestic sci-fi films is not bad, Chang'e Pictures invited me to shoot "Out of the Galaxy", what do you think?" asked another person at the table, his name is Ji Gaoxuan, he has shot many good films, and he is a director at the peak of creation.
It's just that his forte is police and comedy, and he can't catch this kind of unfamiliar sci-fi film, but he is unwilling to let go of this opportunity.
Zheng Shuping touched the sparse beard on his chin, and he replied with a straight face: "Now science fiction films should be a big time, if the quality of the book is okay, then it will be nothing." After all, there are few movies of this genre, and we should seize the opportunity. Anyway, Chang'e Pictures is not bad over there, and there are few finger-pointers, so you can fight for box office dividends. ”
Ji Gaoxuan nodded, he had studied Hollywood science fiction films, and he had also thought about shooting his own science fiction film, but when the real opportunity came, he hesitated, worried that directing "Out of the Galaxy" would smash his good reputation.
"Anyway, have you seen the news, the little guy who wrote the script of "The Martian" is going to make a sci-fi blockbuster, what is his name?" Cui Lecheng knocked on his temple, "When people get old, their memory deteriorates, and suddenly they can't remember it." ”
Zheng Shuping laughed, "His name is Lin Han, quite a good young man." The previous "Immortality" was shot very well, the script was quite exciting, and the director's basic skills were also good. Even if I am given the same conditions, I may not be able to shoot better than him!"
Jing Yuan, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke: "Recently, I gave my students an assignment to watch and analyze this movie. Lin Han is not only an excellent writer, but also an excellent screenwriter and director, and now he finally has a young director who can watch. ”
Jing Yuan's identity is different from Zheng Shuping, he is not a pure director, but also the vice president of Chinese opera, and the doctoral supervisor of the directing department, so it is not easy for him to leave behind his views with Nortel and appreciate Lin Han's talent.
"Yes, no matter how you say it, he is also from a professional background, and he has studied steadily for several years, unlike some people who shoot commercials and MVs, and now the film industry is too impetuous. Ji Gaoxuan is also very emotional, their older generation of filmmakers take movies seriously, but who would have thought that bad movies are almost going to occupy the market now.
Bad money drives out good money, they are a little desperate for the future of movies, and when their older generation is old, can young people support it?
Jing Yuan paused, and then said, "But I feel that Lin Han has a feeling that he has gone astray now. He has a big appetite, three movies in a row, who of you can do it? I'm afraid that he will be defeated by this series of movies. ”
"Young people are just impulsive, much stronger than when we were young, I didn't dare to think about this at that time!" Zheng Shuping is easy to recall his youth after he gets older.
Ji Gaoxuan sighed and said: "People also have the capital to toss, we want to make a movie when we are young, which is not to ask grandpa and grandma everywhere to invest, and in the end we can get millions of investments." As a result, this kid is good, he makes his own money and shoots it himself, and he can get it however he wants. ”
This sentence goes to everyone's heart, the economic environment a few decades ago is not as good as now, and they wanted to make movies at that time.
But Lin Han is different, although he learned to make movies, but what really made him famous was the novel series, although science fiction has limitations, but the niche also has the advantage of being niche, readers are particularly loyal, and few give up and leave!
……
Unlike these people, the media generally looks at Lin Han's series of movies, from the plot to the investment, from the selection of the director to the filming process, some people are worried, and some people are gloating and waiting to see Lin Han fail.
China Film News is a professional journal sponsored by the China Film Art Research Center, which introduces the latest trends and trends of the Chinese and foreign film circles to the majority of film workers and enthusiasts at home and abroad from the latest perspective and the most accurate news.
Lin Han invested in the filming of "The Matrix", of course, they also spread it as soon as possible!
Special commentator Peng Yu wrote: "According to the news announced by the Film Bureau, Lin Han's unfinished science fiction novel "The Matrix" will be put on the big screen. As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused great concern among netizens.
There is definite news that this novel will be changed into a trilogy, and filming will start at the same time in June, with a total investment of up to hundreds of millions!
In this regard, fans bluntly said: Lin Han's science fiction novels are not small, but his science fiction movies make people a little uneasy, and they love and fear when they think about it. begged the filmmakers not to patronize and make money, ruining one classic novel after another.
Indeed, in the profile released through the record, we can see Lin Han's ambition, this time he no longer just put the shooting scene in one room, but expanded to all mankind, the discussion about artificial intelligence, and the savior of mankind.
Rookie directors beware of low eyes, the script is full of too many complex elements, if these are fused together, it is easy to form a hodgepodge of four dissimilarities. The big crew is different from the small crew, and Lin Han's control will be severely tested!"
This report is still relatively neutral, and he raised the concern in everyone's mind, that is, is Lin Han really capable of mastering the shooting of three blockbusters now?
This is a continuous film that many well-known directors in China dare not get involved in, even if this movie is his own original, but the difficulty coefficient is definitely five stars!
There are very few people who are optimistic, even fans who don't know about the film industry, they know that movies are best made one by one, and it is too difficult to become a big fat man in one bite.
