On September 22, more than 200 people gathered in a screening room at DreamWorks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What's playing on the big screen is the final release of The Matrix.

Among these people, there are theater companies from all over the world, as well as the leading actors and crew of "The Matrix".

This is the last screening, and there have been two such screenings before, but this is the final release.

More than two hours later, the movie ended.

Many people are lost in thought, and it is not difficult to see that this is definitely a film of a trans-era nature. It simply subverts the scope of understanding of science fiction.

As for why meditate? Funny? It is said that as a reviewer, you just need to see if the film is exciting. But! These guys were actually caught up in the connotation and philosophy of the film, which is a bit unbelievable.

Such an experience, they have more or less experienced it.

But every time after such an experience, it is the rise of a classic, or the benchmark of box office hits.

This time they were fortunate enough to experience it again.

Whoa...... The applause rang out, and then ...... Thunderous applause.

"Director Wang, happy cooperation."

"Director Wang, the world will be shocked."

"I'll admit it's a classic!"

"Let's get rich together!"

The world's major cinema operators have not been stingy with their praise, and Wang Meng is relieved. Wang Zhonglei, who is also an investor in Huayi Brother, was also relieved.

Next is the last wave of publicity, and hurry up to copy the copy, and then it's time for the release.

Blind work is always fast, until September 27, Wang Meng rushed to the United States again with expectations.

This time, the premiere was held in two places.

Wang Meng will host the premiere in the United States, and the domestic premiere will be handed over to DreamWorks and the cast and crew.

At nine o'clock in the morning on September 28, it was a Chinese afternoon.

The two premieres were held together.

The premiere in the U.S. was held jointly by Warner and DreamWorks.

Lawrence and Hugo Scarlett and others fulfilled their promises, and even Michael Bay, invited his friends to the scene, among which the arrival of George Lucas surprised Wang Meng a little.

and this year's hottest director, Christopher Nolan, and Wang Meng's god 'James Cameron' have all been invited by Warner.

"Hello Director George Lucas, thank you for coming." Wang Meng greeted George Lucas.

"Wang, I'm here to learn, listen to Michael, this movie will shock me, if I was born ten years earlier, it will reach the status of "Star Wars"." George Lucas laughed.

"Wow! Director Michael scared me. Wang Meng said in surprise, he didn't expect Michael Bay to be so optimistic.

But that's right, maybe ten years early, there will definitely be such a reputation.

But after all, it was too late.

However, the so-called late is also the aspect of special effects technology. For the setting, "Absolute Consciousness Space", "Bullet Time", "Cyberpunk Model" and other introductory Wang Mengs are confident. As for the box office, it will only surpass, not less.

"Hi Wang, hello, I've wanted to know you for a long time, I like your "Butterfly Effect" very much." Nolan greeted Wang Meng.

Wang Meng is also very interested in this, not to mention that Batman was resurrected by him, but to say that the movie "Memory Fragments", Wang Meng admires it, not to mention the later "Inception" and "Star Trek".

Of course, there is also a question, "It seems that the creation of "Inception" is related to "The Butterfly Effect" and "The Matrix", and Nolan also said that he was inspired by the creativity of "The Matrix". So these two works, which have been many years late, are now appearing, will Nolan start creating "Inception" next year? Perhaps this is a mystery?

"Hello Mr. Christopher, thank you for coming. There is a saying in China called "sympathy", and I also admire your creativity. Wang Meng shook hands with Nolan and said.

Nolan and Wang Meng's handshake, in the hands of the reporters at the scene, the camera clicked constantly.

Some people even thought that the two genius directors finally met.

If it is said that Nolan is a genius and a genius, then the next great god, Wang Meng has a feeling of looking up.

It's not Wang Meng's groveling scum, but he really admires.

James Cameron was born on August 16, 1954 in Ontario, Canada, to a middle-class family where his father was an electrical engineer and his mother was an artist. A science fiction novel he wrote when he was 12 years old was the basis for the story of his science fiction film The Abyss. When he was 14 years old, he saw Stanley Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey", and from then on he had a desire to make films, and he began to shoot rudimentary films with his father's 8mm camera.

In 1971, he moved to the United States to major in physics at California State University. After dropping out of college, he worked a variety of jobs, including driving trucks for others. In 1977, Cameron saw George Lucas's sci-fi film Star Wars, and he began to realize that he wanted to be a film director, so he quit his job as a truck driver. In 1980, he got his first full-fledged job in the film industry, working as an art director for Roger Cove's film "Fight for the Century", making special effects models

In 1981, James Cameron directed his first production, Piranha 2. In 1984, Cameron released his first film, The Terminator, which he wrote and directed. The film, which cost only $6.5 million, grossed $36 million in the U.S. and $78 million worldwide.

In 1986, James Cameron's second work, "Alien 2", came out. In 1987, Alien 2 was nominated for seven Academy Awards, and eventually won two awards, Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects, for which James Cameron won the Best Director Award at the 14th Saturn Awards.

In 1989, Cameron wrote and directed his third film "The Abyss". This sci-fi film is a little different from James Cameron's other similar works, although it is interspersed with fights and descriptions of mysterious creatures under the sea, it focuses on telling a story about the relationship between husband and wife in a sci-fi setting in a slower pace. Some viewers thought the pace of the film was too slow, and the film was a failure at the box office.

In 1991, his film "Terminator 2" was released in the United States and achieved a box office of $200 million.

In 1992, the film won four awards at the 64th Academy Awards: Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, Best Makeup, and Best Sound Editing. James Cameron won the Best Director Award at the 18th Saturn Awards for this film, as well as the Best Screenplay Award.

In 1993, James Cameron founded his own stunt production company, Digital Field.

In 1994, True Lies, the first film with stunts produced by the "Digital Realm", was released, directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and others. "True Lies" embodies Cameron's chauvinistic thinking, in which he portrays Aryans as heroes and non-Aryans as terrorists. The film grossed $146 million in the United States and $280 million in the international market.

In 1997, James Cameron directed the film "Titanic", which cost $200 million to produce and starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and others. During the filming of the film, James Cameron was very strict with the actors and staff, the cold words of the investors, the complaints and confrontations of the actors and his subordinates against his eccentric temper, and the difficulties encountered during the filming process, all of which made Cameron almost on the verge of collapse, but he still persevered.

After the release of "Titanic", the box office in the United States reached 470 million US dollars; At the global box office, it exceeded $1.8 billion, breaking the box office record in film history and becoming the highest-grossing film between 1997 and 2010. In 1998, at the 70th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won 11 of them, tying the record for the number of awards won by Ben Hur.

Of course, the sentence 'I am the king of the world' is also admirable. Although he is also arrogant.

In 2000, he directed and produced the TV series "The ******End of the World" based on gene therapy. In 2002, he collaborated with the Discovery Channel on the documentary Return to the Bismarck. In 2005, he announced the start of filming the movie "Avatar", which is a science fiction film with live-action performances combined with computer CG animation. The film cost $300 million, breaking the record for the cost of film production.

In August 2009, during the production of the 3D film "Avatar", James Cameron was inspired and decided to use this technology to remake the 1997 film "Titanic". On December 18, 2009, the movie "Avatar" directed by James Cameron was officially released. The film was released in North America for 47 days and grossed $601.1 million, breaking the previous box office record of 600.1 million held by "Titanic". As of September 2010, "Avatar" has grossed more than $2.7 billion worldwide, breaking the global box office record.

(PS: I feel the need to say that when I meet someone I really admire, I can't help but want everyone to know that he is very powerful.) Admit that I'm not objective anymore, and I'm idealistic, I admit it. Sometimes I wonder why there are no such directors in China? There is also a Spielberg who is as famous as him, but this guy hates China, I don't like him, although he is also very good, but I resist it in my heart. Well, it's still idealistic, my fault. ）

If the global box office of "Titanic" is 1.8 billion US dollars, which makes people look up to the mountains, then "Avatar" is 2.7 billion US dollars, which makes people desperate.

Take Wang Meng as an example, he is confident that he can surpass many directors in this world at the box office, but James Cameron is the only one who makes him feel a little scared, too inhuman.

Even if there is a reborn person, even if there is a golden finger, there is a feeling of insufficient weight.

Wang Meng sometimes wonders, is this old guy also reborn, why is his life so sci-fi, a good forklift driver doesn't drive, and he goes to get a movie, is it the goldfinger he got at that time?

Of course, this is to think about?

And James, not only who competes at the box office, but also his promotion of special effects and love for technology, is also no one? Several new revolutions in movies have been refreshed by him, think about it! .

"Hello Mr. James, thank you for coming, it's an honor." Wang Meng looked at this god who was about the same height as himself, and he still felt a little excited in his heart.

"Young director Wang, you are very good, I have seen your works and have a lot of ideas. Of course, your love for special effects and new technology, I think we must have something to talk about. I hope The Matrix will away. James Cameron said.

Well, both of them are probably the kind of people who have a soft spot for new technology and special effects.

"I'm sure it will." Wang Meng is very confident.

"Huh...... I found out that we have something in common again, we are both confident, confident and unlikeable, haha......" James laughed.

Similarly, the conversation between the two made the reporter excited, and the photo talk continued.

After that, Wang Mengyi greeted a group of Australian gang actors one by one,

There are Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Sam Worthington, Eric Bana, and many more.

I heard that the Australian gang is very united, and it can be seen here, and it can also be seen that Hugo Weaving is very popular.

The visitors also included Lawrence's group of friends and Scarlett's group of friends. A bunch of actors invited by the summit and so on.

This premiere is no less than a small awards ceremony.

Many Hollywood reporters felt incredible, but they didn't expect Wang Meng's influence to be so great.

Not to mention the shock of a group of Chinese journalists, look, this is the top group of Hollywood movie stars. He is also a world-renowned celebrity!

I didn't expect to come so much this time!

Naturally, this can be a bit dangerous! The source of danger is the success or failure of The Matrix!

Wang Meng is at least a little worried, no one can guarantee it, right?

I wasn't nervous, but I was nervous by so many big names and reporters, and I was really nervous.

If...... That? Wang Meng said goodbye to Hollywood completely, but if he doesn't say goodbye completely, it will take many years to turn over!

Of course, there is a flip side to everything.

Just said that the failure has scary consequences, but! If it succeeds, then Wang Meng will also have the reputation of these big names, and the ratio of director to first starring is quite strong.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that if "The Matrix" reaches the fame of the original, Wang Meng will be like the Titanic's little plum, popular all over the world.

……

And in the magic capital of China, in the afternoon.

There was also a grand premiere here, and where the fame of "The Matrix" was, there was almost no need to deliberately invite anyone, and countless journalists and film critics would come to watch it.

The big production of 130 million dollars is a number when it comes to speaking, but when it really comes, there is a sense of storm coming.

In October of this year, the Chinese media, including film and television companies, did not deny a prediction that was about to come true?

That is, October will be the month of The Matrix. No one doubted it.

After all, this is the home base of DreamWorks.

Not to mention the presence of celebrities and celebrities, even the deputy mayor of the government, Niu came, how can you say that there is also his hard work?

Take directors as an example, several of China's top directors are here, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Tsui Hark, Chen Kexin, Wong Kar-wai, and other big-name directors. I didn't know and thought the director was partying.

Their common purpose is to see what Wang Meng has done? Is it a desolate beast? Or fall into the dust?

Not to mention a group of DreamWorks actors, as well as actors who have a good relationship with Wang Meng.

The crew of "The Matrix" here has Li Bingbing, Zhang Hanyu and Sun Honglei as the façade.

The stars are all together, and the big names are gathered.

Coupled with the vast number of lucky fans, the screening hall that can accommodate nearly 1,000 people is full.

This is a 3D giant screen, which is one of the few LMAX productions at present.

It can also be said that this release is also a refresh of China's new special effects technology.

"Lao Chen, have you seen it? What do you think? A group of directors gathered around what they had seen, and Chen Kexin asked.

"It's breathtaking, it's incredible." Chen Kexin said.

"Is it so mysterious?" Wong Kar-wai was a little unconvinced.

"Just look at it, I can't find a second such work in China, and maybe there may not be such a director in the next five or even ten years." Chen Kexin is very determined.

"Shhh After listening to this, the director took a breath of cold air.

Looking at Chen Kexin's appearance, it seems to be the real thing!

"Just look at it." Zhang Yimou can still see it.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

[ps: Thank you for the reward from an old bookworm book friend, thank you. This is a big chapter of nearly 5,000 words, and I can't guarantee that I won't be unconscious today, so I'll get a big chapter in advance. If you can't add two more chapters, book friends forgive me that it may be one chapter. (To be continued.) )
