Chapter 394: Filming in progress

The principle of "The Matrix" is actually very simple, and it seems to be a bit of a time-traveling nature. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is just like Wang Meng's "Butterfly Effect" before.

The difference is that "Butterfly Effect" changes the direction of the story through time and again. I hope for a happy ending, but the ending is heartbreaking.

The Matrix is about stopping things from happening.

One is the rebirth of the soul and the other is the entry of the mind.

Just like in our novels, there is a physical crossing and a soul crossing.

Although the form is different, the essence is similar. As a joke, one has a golden finger and the other doesn't.

Of course, in the eyes of the Chinese people, it seems that "The Matrix" only has the difference of simply pretending to be handsome and cool, and the overall fight is refreshing to watch.

Of course, the most important reason why we love "The Matrix" is that the elements of kung fu and Chinese philosophy are inseparable.

Today's society is full of materialist theories and proofs, telling that the world is a world composed of matter, and there is no such thing as an 'alternative' theme.

"The Matrix" has contradictions, the ending is materialistic, but the play is full of philosophical fantasy plots.

Of course, Wang Meng himself is not a materialist in the strict sense of the word.

Maybe it wasn't before it was reborn, but it didn't think that way after it was reborn.

said before that Wang Meng liked "Butterfly Effect", which was related to his liking in his previous life, but the impact in this life was even greater.

He firmly believes that the universe is unpredictable, the world is mysterious, and there are always things that we don't understand and that science can't explain.

Some people say, "It is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing", perhaps Wang Meng is like this.

Our country belongs to a country of contradictions, and thousands of years of mythology, or the worship of ancestral spirits, have been deeply rooted in the marrow.

Belief - people are watching the sky, retribution is unhappy, etc., the sustenance of the consciousness category.

But, judging from today's knowledge, many of them are very far-fetched.

However, in real life, peace of mind can indeed make the body temperature drop and the body cool, and the effect of hot summer is even more obvious.

More intuitively, "no desire is rigid". Well, it makes sense, it's true.

But what I don't understand is what is desirelessness? Is it possible that there are people who don't have a desire at all?

No way?

This is the intuitive embodiment of idealism, but we are a country that flaunts materialism.

From "the mind is calm and naturally cool" to "I think, therefore I am", it is the advancement of consciousness.

The former only emphasizes that consciousness can affect the body and body, while the latter completely denies the view that the body and body determine consciousness, and believes that the human mind is the basis of all matter, and the body without thought is a walking dead and has no meaning.

In reality, there are often some tests on the soul, many people who are on the verge of death have the experience of soul leaving the body, and the mysterious reincarnated spirit child also seems to confirm the idea that the soul is immortal, and the reincarnation of spirit, body, and body soul, but the most daring assumption appears in "The Matrix", don't think that it is just a dazzling high-tech movie, and many of its lines have a different depth.

For example, Morpheus trained Neo in kung fu, and he said: Don't you notice, you don't need to breathe in this space...... I want you to forget about yourself. Compared with the "unity of man and sword" of Chinese martial arts, Morpheus's realm is undoubtedly higher, people are - people are swords and swords are people, he is directly - no one has no sword, completely forgetful, the implication is to forget the shackles of the body, with the infinite expansion of consciousness to defeat the opponent, this is "absolute consciousness".

You are afraid to be serious about everything, as long as you study it carefully, you will find something different.

Wang Meng is like this, he wanted to shoot "The Matrix" before, but more of the "Matrix" in the previous life was a classic masterpiece, and almost everyone said it was good, so he also felt that it was good, and he must shoot it.

Through the filming of more than a month, Wang Meng has better understood the in-depth significance of "The Matrix".

Therefore, sometimes Wang Meng will adapt some lines in the play or the elaboration of oriental culture according to his own ideas.

For example, in one of the passages, Neo went to the Prophet and saw a lovely boy who resembled a little living Buddha in the West and Tibet, and taught Neo how to bend the spoon with his mind, and he said, "Don't try to break the spoon, it's impossible." The spoon doesn't exist, it's not the spoon that changes, it's your heart.

Seeing this, Wang dreamed of the famous "wind moving flags" in a public case of Buddhism in China.

It is said that a bunch of monks have eaten enough to eat and rest in the cool at the entrance of the temple, and the flagpole at the door is flying, one monk says: "The wind moves"; one monk says: "The flag moves"; the third monk says very deeply: "That is, it is not the wind moving, nor the flag moving, but the human heart is automatic."

Buddhists say that the realm of this third person is not ordinarily high, he has risen simple natural phenomena to the realm of consciousness, recognized the extraordinary role of consciousness, and also recognized that greed, hatred, and obsession are all from the indefinite heart, and he has been fully enlightened.

In the movie, Neo can bend the spoon by changing his heart, but he is not enlightened, but he takes the first step to become a savior, which may be the different understandings of consciousnessism in the East and the West: the East advocates self-cultivation to achieve self-redemption, while the West saves the world through self-cultivation, broad or narrow, but it is difficult to have a precise limit.

In the process of shooting, it is not the process of shooting according to the film, as I said before, a set has to shoot all the shots that need this scene.

Wang Meng's here, because of Wang Meng's in-depth understanding of "The Matrix", is even more willful - consciousness training and philosophical dialogue, combined to shoot.

Wang dreams of using his deeper understanding of The Matrix to elaborate his own ideas, or more ideas about Chinese culture.

Some time ago, the shooting of live-action fight scenes and live-action shots has slowly come to an end.

Now it's time to shoot the part of the consciousness training and the use of live action.

This will be followed by a move to other cities and studios.

Wang Meng expects that in early June, the footage of the real-life fight scenes and the real-life shooting of the idea will be completed, the shooting of all the live-action scenes will be completed in July, and the finishing work will be carried out in the studio by August.

However, during this period, the shots of special effects are also in the production of special effects to realize dreams, and after the real-life shooting is completed, special effects still need to be processed.

As for the full special effects, the side is the shooting of the studio, and of course, the virtual shots of the full special effects also need to be processed.

For today's changes, Wang Meng doesn't know, can he make Western audiences understand?

After gathering the views of Michael Bay, as well as the Hollywood members and actors of the crew, everyone really felt that it was very good, and it could raise the difficulty of philosophical science fiction.

Similarly, it will also allow oriental fans to see more oriental cultural themes.

This seems to be a win-win nature, so Wang Meng is relieved.

You can add your own understanding without overdoing it, as well as the exploration of oriental cultural philosophy.

Even Michael Bay said that it was already wonderful, and now it will be even more exciting, which is simply the meaning of a mythological classic. (To be continued.) )
