"What, what?"

The reporters immediately pricked up their ears and swarmed up like chickens, "Michael, can you tell me more about it?" Are you saying that you want to make a movie with Chen Tiandu, and Chen has already sent you an invitation? Is it co-directed, or is it directed by you, with Chen as an actor? What kind of movie is it? ”

Michael Bay has been in the circle for so many years, and he has long been a good person, how can he be so easily talked by reporters. Haha smiled and said: "The specific content is not convenient to disclose for the time being, we are negotiating." ”

He succeeded in piquing the curiosity of journalists and then discarding it. The reporters who connected to the premiere didn't have the heart to watch it, and in fact, such a popcorn movie didn't exceed expectations.

With Michael Bay, there would have been a hot picture, and now it's just a rehash of the old trick, that's all.

After the reporters finished the premiere of "Jedi Men II", they secretly began a fiery investigation. Look at how many backup items the matrix still has, not exposed to the public. I don't know if I don't check, but I'm shocked when I check.

The next day, "USA Today" was the first to kick out the news: "Chen Tiandu teamed up with Michael Bay's new film plan: is it "Transformers" or "Special Forces", "Iron Man", "Batman" or "Agent Couple"? ”

"The whole United States is still paying attention to the three blockbusters launched in the summer ♂ of 'Matrix', but 'Matrix' has made so many preparations quietly. As early as last year, they had secretly bought the film rights to Hasbro's signature animation "Transformers", and by the way, they also bought the popular "Special Forces". As per the agreement with Hasbro. The matrix must be within the next five years. These two themes were made into live-action movies and screened. The exact purchase price is unknown. But there is no doubt that the sci-fi cartoon "Transformers", which once swept an era, is about to be brought to the big screen. ”

Then on the report, there is also a careful analysis of which project Michael Bay is most likely to take over, and the answer is that "Transformers" and "Special Forces" have equal opportunities.

DreamWorks Rispielberg was shocked when he learned the news in the newspaper. He had been approached by Hasbro a few years earlier, but at that time, DreamWorks had just been launched, and he had a lot to do. Neither the money nor the special effects technology can meet the requirements of making a "Transformers" live-action movie. So. It was just an idea in his head, and he forgot about it when he got busy. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he was actually cut off by the matrix, and his intestines were blue with regret.

"Steve, is it that bad? It's just two themes. Jasenberg was puzzled by his bitter and vengeful expression.

Spielberg shook his head with a dejected expression, "No, my gut tells me that this is a major loss. I used to have to follow up a little bit, and maybe now these two themes will fall into the hands of DreamWorks. But now it's too late. ”

Jasenberg remained skeptical, but no one in the entire DreamWorks could ignore Spielberg's opinion. He asked tentatively, "Then why don't we get involved in this project, no matter how much Matrix likes to make big-budget movies." It is impossible to juggle so many plans at the same time. ”

Spielberg looked up sharply, "You're right, we still have a chance, we have to get involved." ”

But by the time Jasenberg contacted the Matrix, they were already behind, and Paramount was one step ahead of them. But that doesn't hinder anything, as the matrix doesn't promise Paramount anything. Subsequently, Warner and Fox also sent cooperation intentions. Peck was very helpless about these people who heard the news, because Chen Tiandu was personally grasping this project, and he could only tell these bigwigs: "The film has indeed been approved, but the specific details, the investment budget, and the script are all empty." The matrix is now fully operational, and there is simply no time and talent to prepare for this project. Everything will be considered after the end of this summer. At the same time, it also revealed a signal: "With the strength of the matrix, it is impossible to independently produce so many large productions, and the project really needs to find someone to cooperate." "That's enough, let's get in touch.

Today's matrix company has developed somewhat deformedly.

Other independent production companies are all small and big, and occasionally make blockbuster films. But the matrix has become an alternative to Hollywood, they rarely make small-budget movies, and the only one is "Juno" that Chen Tiandu shot in order to win the award. Strangely, the small movie "Juno" has become a box office predator, reaching a height of $480 million worldwide. As far as the box office is concerned, this is completely comparable to the blockbuster stance.

I don't know how many people cursed them behind their backs for a fall, and then broke their legs.

But the steps of the matrix are getting bigger and bigger, and there may be many obstacles along the way, but there is never a fall from the beginning to the end.

Even the Los Angeles Times teased him with the full version of the entertainment page: "There is a young independent production company in Hollywood, but the boldness to make movies is more like a big company than the big six film production companies." They never care about losing money, and the movies they make invest more than the other. The number of films produced each year is small, but it always manages to occupy a place in the annual box office charts. ”

"In the eyes of those film experts, this is completely an act of seeking death, never considering the risks. But they are mavericks. Along the way, it has become the most unique landscape in Hollywood. ”

"Now that the matrix is about to be listed, the market is bullish all the way. Perhaps only after this company goes public can it completely end Chen Tiandu's strange development path. Today is July 20th, and there is only a little over a month left before the matrix is listed. Chen Tiandu himself will also usher in two high-profile companies belonging to him to be listed in September. He is gradually transforming from a director to an IT businessman and entertainment tycoon. ”

"It's impossible to predict what kind of miracles his future holds. Maybe at that time, when people look at him, they need to look up to see it. ”

After seeing this report, some people looked back and found that both Google and Matrix will be available in September. At that time, Chen Tiandu's worth will inevitably double.

This year has become his year. A Chen Tiandu year.

……

July 13~20. The second week of the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean". It was also the first full seven days.

This week, in order to compete with "Jedi Men II", the Matrix publicity department has launched a means of film shooting tidbits, and the real documentary video of the Black Pearl encountering a real storm during the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was first exposed, and the whole ship almost died at sea.

After the launch of this video, it caused a lot of controversy, and people saw that Chen Tiandu was still a "tyrant" in such a big storm, asking the actor to stick to his post and continue filming, and he was not afraid of death. is simply ignoring the life and death of the actor.

But many more were moved by their concerted efforts to fight the storm and sing the pirate song intermittently: "This is a person who is crazy about movies, and he can make such real movie pictures." ”

"I always thought that those storms were made by post-special effects, at most they poured some seawater on the actors' faces, but I didn't expect to face real sea storms and waves."

"A mad director, it's no wonder that Kayla kept saying that it was a hard, dangerous but sweet filming journey when she was promoting. I understand a little bit now. There is a billionaire to die with you, what is there to be afraid of. ”

This tide of public opinion, driven by the matrix, has attracted a lot of attention, but it has helped the box office of the movie. No one can say.

The week of July 20 passed, and the Jedi Men returned. The box office revenue of the entire market is on fire again.

After the latest weekend box office data was released, all the forecasters were a little dumbfounded. A fact they don't want to see, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has successfully completed the streak!

Everyone in the world who pays attention to the box office of the movie, opened the Internet, and saw that "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the second week of release beat the new film released this week, "Jedi Men II" starring Will Smith, and won the top spot in the weekend box office charts. And with a weekend box office result of $48.9 million, he won a small victory of $46.7 million for "Jedi Men II".

While some critics are bullish on Sony's Jedi Men II, audiences are happy to choose the movie they want to see. The ambitious film has already grossed more than three times the box office in 1995 when its previous episode premiered weekend. But under inflation, the current 46.7 million may not be as good as the 15 million in 95.

And the word-of-mouth of the film reviews is also a mess, and crazy fans are clamoring for Will Smith to win the Golden Raspberry Award.

Instigated by the previous media, now the fans are also fighting, and the captain's fans began to show their power for the first time, "Bad movie, super bad movie, such a movie dares to shout at Captain Jack Sparrow." Understand how the clown died, arrogant to death. ”

The IMDB rating fell below 6, and the freshness on Rotten Tomatoes was only 52%.

"Lost, it's a mess."

Will Smith depressedly locked himself in his room. Although he was unusually polite when he first faced reporters, in fact, he didn't think about killing "Pirates of the Caribbean" with this movie. But now it has proved that the gap between him and Chen Tiandu has been hit, and he doesn't even want to go to the propaganda that he has connected.

Although the performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the second week was also controversial, the second-weekend box office of $48.9 million fell by more than 63% compared to the domineering $133 million in the opening weekend. But they are still the weekly box office champions, and they have generated a total of $84.2 million seven days a week.

In this way, the film's North American box office has also accumulated to $217.52 million.

Ten days of accumulation, successfully exceeded the $200 million mark.

The performance of the deep-sea adventure cartoon "Finding Nemo" is still quite unexpected. The film grossed $7.3 million this weekend, down just 14 percent from the previous week, the smallest drop among the top films.

Once again, Pixar's animation has proven its quality, with the film grossing $303.8 million to date, far more than any other film released in the summer slot, and is likely to become the second biggest animated blockbuster in film history after The Lion King.

And this movie is also the second film to break the $300 million mark this year after "Speed 2".

It is predicted that the third film to break the $300 million mark must be "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

Then, in this year's annual movie box office rankings, the matrix may have to occupy two places in the top five.

Sean Connery's adventure film "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" picked up a little this weekend, after all, the first week was really stunned by "Pirates of the Caribbean", and this weekend once again earned $10.1 million, ranking third on the box office list. This can be regarded as a little comfort for the old 007 in old age.

At the same time, the pirate trio has already embarked on their global promotional journey.

The first stop was England, where the charm of pirates conquered the arrogant English gentlemen without any suspense. This pirate captain with countless shortcomings turned such an annoying character on others into a heartthrob.

Everywhere Chen Tiandu went, there was a boiling and cheering.

Keira Knightley returned to England to promote, and she returned to her homeland after becoming famous.

Look at their popularity right now: Keira Knightley became a complete overnight hit, and her brokerage contract was signed in the Matrix Artist's department. Now there is an epic blockbuster "King Arthur" looking for her to audition for the heroine, Chen Tiandu personally made the decision, the audition was just a formality, the two sides just negotiated a simple one, and successfully won the role, another heroine!

Kayla jumped up excitedly to offer a kiss, which made the two of them emotionally ambiguous on the way to publicity.

And Heath Ledger, an Australian student who could only perform in some literary films before, completely became the object of fans after the second stop of the promotion was specially selected in Australia.

"It's incredible, I used to be very popular in Australia, but I can't compare with it now." Heath Ledger was a little overexcited.

Chen Tian was very calm, pretending to b: "This is the charm of commercial blockbusters." Although it can't help you win prizes, it is an excellent way to gather popularity and wealth. ”

"Hey, Heath, Brad Pitt has a movie called Troy, I wonder if you're interested."

Heath Ledger was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm an actor, as long as the script isn't too bad, it doesn't matter." Do you recommend it to me? ”

Chen Tiandu said: "As long as you are interested, you can give it a try." The more popular you are, the more favorable our next movie will be. Of course, your opponent is Orlando Bloom, the 'Elven Prince', promise me to kill him. Your acting skills are ten times better than him. ”

"Haha, you think too highly of me."

Heath Ledger said this, but there was excitement in his eyes.

Keira Knightley watched from the side, and suddenly said darkly, "You guys are too affectionate, you can't have any ideas." ”

"Oh, Shet......"

The two of them bounced away like an electric shock, and Chen Tiandu shook his hand with disgust, as if he had touched something unclean, which made Heath Ledger depressed. (To be continued......)
