Perhaps it is a deeper understanding of "The Matrix", coupled with changes to the plot, that leads to ...... Wang Meng temporarily forgot about the coming national martyrdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In April, as many as 20 films were released in Chinese mainland.

It set a new record for Chinese films to be released in April.

Among them, the release of "The King of Kung Fu" has made the audience highly anticipated, not only in China, but also in the world.

Only Wang Meng knows that Chinese fans will be disappointed again, and this film is a film with a Western core through and through.

In the United States, "The King of Kung Fu" got a box office of more than 200 million US dollars, and the Chinese side is really bleak.

It is undeniable that this film is, in principle, too Westernized, which causes Chinese fans to dislike it. But in fact, the coming national mourning also plays a large role.

A movie that gathers Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Liu Yifei, Li Bingbing and other big names, with such bad results? Unexpected, but forgivable.

At the beginning of April, "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" performed well, and after gathering Andy Lau and Wu Jianhao, the box office and plot were highly valued.

There has been a lot of news lately, especially in '08, that China has shown great potential, no matter what it is.

"Step by Step" has completed the general post-editing, and it is expected to be completed in mid-May, and the premiere of satellite TV will be finalized in June.

"The Shining" is being filmed in an orderly manner, and after nearly a month of filming, most of it has been completed, and it is expected to be completed in early to mid-May, and it is expected to be released worldwide in June.

Of course, what else does the Chinese media care about? It's kind of weird.

Many netizens always mention the Korean director Jin Zhiwen who bet with Wang Meng every once in a while, reminding everyone not to forget.

This move started as the behavior of Chinese netizens, and later Japanese netizens also thought it was good and kept reminding them in Japan.

Originally, the relationship between China, South Korea, and Japan was ...... Everybody knows that.

Therefore, seeing that China and South Korea are fighting, the devils are also very enthusiastic. This caused Jin Zhiyun to be quite depressed, and he wanted to slowly indifferent to the bets he had made some time ago with the passage of time, but now that he is good, he remembers them.

……

Return to the filming of "The Matrix".

Throughout "The Matrix", it is actually very simple, mainly divided into the shooting of consciousness space and Hope.

Now it belongs to the shooting of the consciousness space, and the 'Hope' is stepping up the layout and construction of the interior.

The 'big guy' at the previous press conference can only be said to be empty, and the interior is not well made, which belongs to the purpose of publicity, and now is the stage of internal renovation.

Including some of the black technology equipment that we can see and so on.

Filming scene......

"Camera...... Lamplight...... Group performance ...... Ready! ”

Wang Meng also put on makeup and entered the filming session. As a leading actor and director, sometimes it's really busy.

The scene is a didactic training program, in which Morpheus trains Neo to enter the matrix, involving hundreds of extras.

Holding the microphone in one hand and waving the script in the other, Wang Meng inspected for a week, and saw that the other staff members were waiting intently for him to give orders, and suddenly felt as majestic as the commander who was about to go to the battlefield.

"Director's camera, ok! …… Reflector, OK! …… Makeup, OK! ……”

Lawrence, who was playing against the scene over there, also made an ok gesture, and after receiving reports from the surroundings, Wang Meng nodded with satisfaction, lifted the microphone and said loudly: "Okay, everyone, finally correct the position of the actor." There are a lot of people in this scene, I hope everyone will cheer up and don't make unnecessary mistakes. As soon as the camera starts, the group actors just go in the opposite direction, and when they see me, they want to walk over with hostility and bump my shoulder, who doesn't understand how to do it? ”

No one answered, Wang Meng waved his hand, handed the microphone and script to Michael Bay, ready to shoot.

In fact, speaking of this scene, there is a movie in later generations that has borrowed it, and Nolan's "Inception" has borrowed such a scene.

"Inception" is about the random creation of the heroine, which leads to the hostility of the guardians in the dream that enters.

And now it's the hostility set by the system in the matrix.

"Seventy-eighth, teaching training course procedure, first, action!" The scene notes dress up and turn on.

The crowd played by the extras began to move, and Morpheus, played by Lawrence, walked in front with his hands behind his back and turned to look at the camera, "The matrix is a system, Neo. ”

Wang Meng followed closely behind him, and people around him kept hitting him on the shoulder, looking at him with strange eyes, as if the whole world was against him.

Lawrence's action behind his back is also what Wang Meng thought of after waking up, and he told Lawrence that Morpheus needed a signature move to highlight his identity, and it was best for the audience to remember this action as soon as they saw it. Lawrence then experimented with many movements, and finally settled on the same movements as in the original.

He is an old actor, and he entered the role very quickly, saying: "The whole system is our enemy, but you are in the system, what can you see?" The office workers, teachers, lawyers, craftsmen you see, these people are narrow-minded, and they are all the ones we want to save. But we don't do it, they are part of the system, that is, they are our enemies. You have to understand that most of these people don't want you to save them. What's more, many people are insensitive, desperately dependent on the system, and will defend it to the death. Are you listening to me, Neo, or is your soul snatched away by the Lady in Red? ”

Cameras follow them, and two cameras glide along the tracks on either side, making subtle noises.

"I'm just ......," Neo tried to explain.

"Look at it again." Morpheus suddenly pointed behind him.

"Whoosh!!"

All the pedestrians of the whole world stopped, including the lady in red who had just walked by coquettishly.

“cut！”

Assistant director Michael Bay interrupted the filming with a shout, Wang Meng frowned, in the scene just now, at least ten people did not stand firm and fell out.

"I'm sorry director, it's my fault. I didn't stand still when suddenly I was thrown by a shout. ”

"Yes, Director Wang, I'm sorry."

Wang Meng smiled helplessly, clapped his palms, and shouted loudly: "Okay guys, I know it's difficult to make everyone suddenly pause in walking. So let's make up this shot, make all the moves, and don't move again. ”

This scene would not have been shot at one go, because in post-production, even the two pigeons that had just taken off had to be fixed.

The second shot was much better, but no one had any problems.

"Good, cut!"

This one is over......

With the filming of the crew at the end of April, Wang Meng temporarily bid farewell to the crew for a few days.

At the end of April, this year's Modu University Student Film Festival began.

Wang Meng's two works have received nearly ten nominations, and the organizing committee has called more than once to invite Wang Meng to participate.

Speaking of which, Wang Meng's first award started at the College Student Film Festival, and Wang Meng was very interested in this very young film award ceremony.

In addition, most of them are voted for, which is a reflection of popularity, and Wang Meng is naturally willing to go.

It's good to have an explanation for the fans who support you.
