Chapter 189: Challenge Me, Then Come (First Update)
Peck hurriedly said, "Boss, something is wrong. I'm afraid we have to advance the release schedule of "Fast and Thrilling", otherwise it will not be good if someone really takes the lead. Damn, we've just heated up the market when another company announced the start of a racing movie. And this time it's the ...... of the world."
Chen Tiandu listened to his long words, and it took a long time to understand what was going on. It turned out that after Rainey Haring's public provocation yesterday, today Universal also announced that it will quickly start filming a new racing movie, adapted from the popular stand-alone game "Need for Speed", and the protagonist of the hit American drama "Prison Storm" and the popular supporting role of "Crime Scene Investigation" will join the shooting, so that the film has not yet started filming to gain a lot of attention. Universal also announced that it would invite a well-known Oscar-winning screenwriter to adapt the story, with an investment of no less than $60 million, and the film is expected to compete for next summer.
"It's not a temporary idea, and it's not a craze for racing."
Universal's explanation is obviously more formal than Rennie Haring's, after all, they are a big company, "In fact, Universal had the idea of making a racing movie a long time ago, and we also talked about Christmas Chan's "Fast and Thrilling", but it didn't work out. As for why it is placed in the summer file, it is also a matter of timing. Immediately, a reporter asked if he would fight with Chen Tiandu's "Fast and Thrilling", after all, compared with the F1 car of "Life and Death", "Need for Speed" and "Fast and Thrilling" are closer to the theme.
A Universal spokesperson said: "Universal is not afraid to compete with any film, we are Universal, and that's enough! ”
Yes, Universal is one of the top seven in Hollywood, what is the matrix? At most, it's a small independent production company that has been established for two years. Take what to compete.
"That's a threat!"
Chen Tiandu groaned slightly. If the future does not change. Maybe "Fast and Furious" is a Universal movie, and they are not lying.
It's just that the promotion method of "Fast and Thrill" is based on games, but the new game can't compete with "Need for Speed". The plot routine of "Need for Speed" is also similar to "Fast and Furious", and it is really unpredictable what the future will be.
But then he thought of his movie, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Then come on." ”
It's like you're in the ring. Need for Speed is announced a new actor every day, and the film adaptation of the well-known game has already made the movie based on the famous game famous.
On the other hand, "Life and Death" seems to be not to be outdone, sending an actor out every few days to make a fuss. The highlights around the movie are bursting non-stop, and today it was revealed that Stallone is old and strong, and he almost ran over the record line in an F1 car. Tomorrow, a certain actor will show up to tout, and many first-person shots of F1 cars are simply exciting!
Because it is a formula car movie, many international famous brands have been pulled to show up. There is also news that Schumacher, the king of records, will personally appear on the set and make a cameo role. It has attracted countless fans.
Only "Fast and Thrilling" is tepid, and occasionally wears a few fresh stills. After the intense shooting. Chen Tiandu didn't even have time to surf the Internet. Compared with the fiery offensive of the other two films, it is too low-key.
And this is obviously a racing craze that has been artificially hyped, and it has also attracted several production companies to express their interest in making a racing movie. Who said that Hollywood doesn't follow the trend, they follow the trend and have no discipline. The racing theme is so hot now, and fools know that there will be a good show to watch next summer. They don't want to compete for a big game, as long as they can cut a few hundred dollars out of it, they can make a lot of money.
And this batch of racing craze attracted another burst of enthusiasm from the official website of "Fast and Thrill", which was gradually quiet. Whether it's lively or indignant, this place has become a gathering place for fans of the racing movie craze. Because the official website has been integrated with Google.com, it is too easy to enter the official website of the matrix. As long as you have a Google account, you can have a private space page when you come in, don't be too generous.
Netizen "I love Remington" said: "It's so shameless, it's obviously following the trend of Christmas Chen, but he still says it so justifiably, he wants to challenge Christmas Chen!" Chen, respond ah, hit them hard We believe in you! ”
A netizen with a registered account of "Ghost Dragon" wrote: "These movies are too fierce, and it is estimated that the matrix is enough to choke, and even Schumacher was invited out of "Life and Death". Need for Speed has countless fans, so you haven't played Need for Speed? However, "Fast and Passion" is original, and the cast is only directed and not starring this time, which invisibly makes people lose a lot of popularity. The rest of the actors, except for the two leading actors, are all unknowns, so I really sweat for them! ”
Movie fan Ida was more excited and wrote a tirade to cheer the scene: "I believe that Christmas Chen will definitely create a miracle, after "The Sixth Sense", it attracted a group of similar psychological suspense horror films, but none of them can have a higher box office than "The Sixth Sense"! The classic bullet time footage from "The Matrix" has now appeared in N movies, but none of them can surpass the original! Even "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly a classic movie, and I believe that Christmas Chan will never disappoint us! ”
However, they never waited for Chen Tiandu and the matrix to respond, but waited for the media to add fuel to the fire, making things even more gunpowder-like.
""Life and Death" is scheduled for May next year, and Rainey Haring threatens to make May high!"
Sylvester Stallone, one of the film's leading actors, should not be loud-mouthed, and openly criticized in an interview a few days ago, saying: "I never watch Christmas-Chan movies, I think he is just an idol exaggerated by the media, caught up with the trend of the American dream and was pushed out in line with the times." Of course, I'm not racist, I know that there are Chinese directors who have been in the limelight lately, and I like John Wu's films, but "The Matrix" is clearly suspected of plagiarizing the style of his compatriot predecessors, and he is an overrated, exaggerated child......"
Immediately, an excited reporter asked, "You just said that you never watched Christmas Chan's movies, why did you know that "The Matrix" was plagiarized?" ”
Stallone smiled and said, "That's what everybody says. ”
This interview was immediately thrown into the media like a bomb, which made the reporters excited. Sure enough, the next day, countless media outlets who were eager to have big news about the explosion every day rushed to report this sentence, and even processed this sentence deeply.
"Sylvester Stallone bluntly said that the classic sci-fi movie "The Matrix" plagiarized John Wu, 'He is an overrated and exaggerated child'!"
Universal Group also made a playful statement, "I think "Fast and Furious" is just a gimmick, and they may want to make a racing game, because there is a racing game of the same name that has recently been released. And our Need for Speed is based on a well-known game and is already ahead of the curve......"
As soon as these reports came out, the matrix was indeed a little flustered: "Damn! You can't be too shameless! ”
And countless "hacker fans" are completely explosive, "Plagiarism, it's been more than a year since the film was released, and no one said that "The Matrix" was plagiarized, and now this guy who doesn't watch the movie casually says plagiarism." When will Stallone's big mouth be sewn! ”
There are also angry fans who posted nude stills of him starring in A-movies when he was young, which angered the famous Stallone, and he was ashamed to say: "My figure is not bad." But some people have gone too far! ”
“? ……? ”
What does this mean, is it accusing the matrix of manipulating and scolding people behind his back, exposing his old truth?
Usually you can be silent, but at this time you absolutely cannot. Peck hastened to make a statement, "The main focus of the matrix has always been on filming in London, and Christmas Chan doesn't even know what happened here. We were innocently attacked when we were innocently involved, and we have never fought back. As for an actor alluding to someone manipulating and slandering his image, it is pure nonsense! ”
Wu Yusen, a good old man known as "Santa Claus" in Hollywood, has sold 215 million in North America with "Mission Impossible 2", and the global box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars. He knew that Chen Tiandu was implicated, but he was absolutely unwilling to participate in this dispute, and he was really blocked by reporters at the door and had to respond, so he said a few words dryly, "The sci-fi film I have filmed, "Changing Face" is barely counted. I can't make a sci-fi blockbuster like The Matrix, I love The Matrix. ”
"OK, that's the response!"
Countless fans of "The Matrix" breathed a sigh of relief, they studied many movies seriously, and "The Matrix" has nothing to do with Wu Yusen's movie. If you want to say that it has something to do with it, it seems that it is also the "aesthetics of violence" that Wu Yusen is famous for, but the word "aesthetics of violence" is not his patent. In terms of fame, Quentin is the master of violent aesthetics, and he can only postpone it.
"Count him self-aware, let you go." That's what loyal fans have to say.
Chen Tiandu was still filming "Fast and Passion" seriously, but he was so inexplicably pulled up, and he was even stepped on as a stepping stone. "The mud bodhisattva also has three points of fire", "the tiger is still a sick cat if it is not powerful", Chen Tiandu suddenly became angry!
He went directly to the official website and wrote a sentence: "I'm waiting for you, come as soon as you see each other in May next year!" -- Chen Tiandu. ”
After Stallone went berserk, he was persuaded by his agent to restrain him a little, after all, that young man is now on fire. He also felt ashamed, and wanted to end there. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Tiandu actually responded, and he was so domineering.
"I'm waiting for you!"
This is completely from the height of the challenged, looking down on the posture of the challengers. almost didn't blow up Rainey Haring, Stallone, and Universal Movies.
And the matrix fans, who had already been a little decadent, instantly became high, and a new round of brushing was set off on the official website forum. And the media is a little excited.
To use a Chinese phrase, Chen Tiandu's previous image has always been a gentle and humble Chinese young man, with the beautiful qualities of an Oriental in the eyes of Westerners. But now that the rabbit is in a hurry, he can go up the tree, and he is innocently implicated and pulled out to hype, and he kicks his nose in the face, and everyone has to be angry.
What's more, there are still good gossip media from time to time, which makes the entire entertainment industry boiling. (To be continued......)
