Chapter 363: Van Helsing (2nd Update)
The second installment of the "Matrix Monster Cinematic Universe Project" series, titled "Vampire Slayer", has only a few hand-drawn characters and a script scene planning map.
This rough and not atmospheric style of painting obviously belongs to Chen Tiandu himself.
A blood-red wildebeest, draped all over it, sat a knight wearing a huge cloak dancing to one side and a large felt hat on his head. The knight was a little cold, especially the long sword that he carried diagonally behind his back, dragging from his shoulders to the ground, almost as close to a man.
This knight is obviously the protagonist, and on the opposite side is a delicate carriage, surrounded by three guards: Tree Demon, Shadow Demon, and Wolf Demon, and the carriage is in a posture of confrontation with the knight. There is also a huge armored car on the other side, which stands on three legs......
It's just a few comics, a bit of Japanese anime style, and it's obviously a fantasy theme.
Judging from the knight's wildebeest and the long sword on his back, it seems that the action style of the movie is biased towards cold weapons, but the huge armored car next to it makes people very puzzled, what kind of movie will this be.
"Christmas Chen is so talented, self-written and directed, and the painters are so good!" Many netizens left messages and comments on the official website of the matrix.
It's no secret that Chen Tiandu is good at painting, and sometimes inspiration comes, and he often posts a few hand-drawn drawings on his blog, but he refuses to explain what the painting is about, which makes countless fans suspicious. There is also the gossip media, which compares the hand-drawn script drawings of several major Hollywood directors, whether it is Robert Zemeckis, the leading figure of the academy, or James Cameron, the "king of the world", who specializes in painting, he really doesn't lose anything.
As a leading figure of young directors, no one can compare with him.
Some people may mention Ben Affleck, but it is clear that there is a big gap between the awards and the box office.
"What is this for, with monsters and villains as the protagonists, to create a magical world. Finally, like the Marvel Universe, gather all the monsters into one big movie? Adam Ferguson, chairman and CEO of Universal Cinematic Entertainment Group, sat in his office and looked at the latest content on the official website of the Matrix with a stern gaze, and immediately summoned a group of subordinates over, "I want to know the content of the Matrix Monster Universe Project, Universal is the paradise of monster movies, we have classic Frankenstein, Mummies, Pharaohs, and Scorpion Kings, why can they think of this movie plan, but we can't think of it." Check, check it for me immediately, find out their routines, and then bring me a feasibility report to see how feasible it is for Universal to create a series of movies. ”
It has to be said that the announcement of a series of future plans of the matrix has made this soon-to-be-listed company popular with investors.
There have been several giant-level investment consortiums that have sent fundraising inquiries to the matrix, and more attention is paid to the film industry. Everyone knows how important it is for a giant to take a stake in the matrix.
Among them, there are many giants such as Time Warner, Disney, Paramount, and Sony, who have expressed their intention to buy shares in Matrix Pictures.
The Wall Street Journal sent the front-page headline to Matrix Films, "On Wall Street, film and television groups are not very concerned, but the listing plan of Matrix Films will undoubtedly inject a clear stream into the dormant capital market." It is conservatively estimated that the IPO of matrix films will not be less than 1.5 billion, and under the rush of funds, it is possible to double the share capital ......"
USA Today reported: "Several giants have been paying close attention to their fundraising plans, and matrix films have become a sought-after commodity in the capital market as soon as they announced their listing plans." ”
Even the "Xinhua News Agency" issued a report, omitting the specific situation of the Chinese film company's imminent listing, and also interviewed Matrix CEO Peck. "Japan has Sony-Colombia, and now the Chinese can also say generously that we have a matrix. With the development momentum of the matrix, it may not be impossible to catch up with and surpass the six giants in the future. This is a great miracle for a Chinese filmmaker. ”
According to the Xinhua News Agency, China and even the whole of East Asia have attracted close attention. A cultural film company has not been listed in China. Various media outlets are carefully calculating how much the market value will reach after the matrix is listed.
For everyone, this is a glittering gold mine with a bright future.
A takeover is unlikely, so become his shareholder. As long as the matrix is merged, it is equivalent to one less future enemy, and it also expands its own business. The Hollywood Big Six have always done this for so many years.
Original scripts and blockbuster movie series are the most difficult parts of the industry, but in matrix films, this problem seems to be completely absent. They just finished a super-grossing series, but there is also a super-grossing series in their hands, most of the movies made by Chen Tiandu are based on series, how can this guy be so bold, does he think that the movies he makes will definitely make money?
No matter where Chen Tiandu's confidence came from, but he dared to do this, and gave others a strong convincing force, just rushing this point is enough. In the face of many giants looking for cooperation, the matrix only needs to carefully choose a development partner.
Hugh Jackman was filming "X-Men 2", but after receiving the script, he took it very seriously, spending all his time outside of work. After reading the first chapter of the script, he was drawn in, like a fantasy novel, fascinating.
In the 19th century, deep in the mountains of western Romania, there was a mysterious town full of legends, Transylvania. Legend has it that it is a world where right and wrong are reversed. Whenever the sun sets, when evil spreads, demons run out of the deepest part of the nightmare......
Count Dracula is the ruler of the town, possessing a degrading temptation, enigmatic powers, and a large number of men, including his three vampire brides, werewolves, and dwarves.
Monster Hunter Van Helsing was tasked by the Witchers' Guild to go to Transylvania to eliminate Count Dracula and fight to the death with Count Dracula......
"Stranger, get out of here. This is not a safe place. Every night, the place is overrun by dead creatures. Anna said as she made a quick walk through the jungle, one foot deep and one shallow.
"That's what I'm here for, I'm a sniper who makes a living by capturing monsters. If you can afford it, I can help you. ”
"Don't try to make a fortune here, outsider, Count Dracula is the embodiment of death, not the source of your wealth."
"I'm willing to die for money, but I'm afraid you can't afford to hire me."
……
"Run, werewolves are coming."
"Didn't you say you came here to hunt killer wolves?" Van Helsing called in the rear.
"Occasionally, I am also chased by human wolves!" Anna didn't look back.
"It doesn't look like it's happening."
……
"The trick to leadership is, first of all, to give them hope, and secondly, to make people feel awe-inspiring in you. And the so-called reverence is respect...... Fearful. ”
"Promise hopes to control people's hearts. It's respectful! Thunder means can grasp the situation. It's dreadful! ”
"People have fear and confidence in you, and if you give them promise and hope, they will obey your leadership, follow in your footsteps, and even if they let them die, they will have no regrets. As long as they see the existence of the light, they will even stand up and fight themselves! ”
"With a sword in one hand and a pawn in the other, this is the eternal trick of rule. Unfortunately, the Villaris family can only hold swords. ”
……
"It's a war! In this war, everyone has two choices. Or shrink your head, linger for a long time, and die cowardly and inactively, or you can puff up your chest, take up arms, and die heroically! Which one do you choose? Van Helsing stood high on the town's platform and shouted, with a huge vampire corpse lying at his feet and a bitten child on the other.
"Heroic death!" All the townspeople shouted in unison, and at this moment, the passion in everyone's hearts had been ignited by Van Helsing.
They finally realized that hundreds of years of insensitivity could not change their tragic fate, and only fighting with anger was their last and only way out.
"Take up arms! Build defenses! Van Helsing shouted.
The townsfolk took action.
……
These conversations show that Van Helsing is a very good witcher, both in terms of personality and strength. In Hollywood, there are many good actors, but good roles are hard to come by. In fact, there is no choice at all, and for the name "Christmas Chan", Hugh Jackman has already agreed. As soon as "X-Men" is finished, it is just time to go to film "Van Helsing".
Immediately, Tong Guò's agent announced, "I am very honored to receive the role invitation for "Van Helsing", this is a very good script, I was not selected during the audition for "Pirates of the Caribbean", I did not expect "Van Helsing" to work with Christmas Chen. He said he couldn't wait, and when the Wolverine role was completed, he would go all out to prepare Van Helsing.
The outside world was speechless for Christmas Chen who had just announced that he was going to take a break for a while, but then immediately announced the shooting plan of the new film.
Didn't you shout "Xiying" a few days ago, the shadow of a ghost, just don't change the true colors of workaholics.
This week, the most lively viewing period of "The Matrix**" has faded, but in the global market, "The Matrix**" is the top choice no matter where it is.
At the earliest, the matrix claimed that 100 countries and regions around the world would be released simultaneously, but in fact, this was simply impossible. In some places, due to policies and scheduling needs, it is difficult to achieve true synchronization. There was a time lag, but it was about the same time.
For this kind of "phenomenal", "idol", and "epoch-making" films, it is not unusual that there are more than 100 markets, and in the next two weeks, it is time for these huge markets to gradually gain momentum. Therefore, in the second week of the overseas market, we can maintain the super box office potential that does not lose the first week.
Japan has long been conquered, South Korea is the backyard of the United States, what "boycott" has long been a topic that has been gone for too long, and now the program is to praise Christmas Chan!!
Compared with the situation in other countries, there are many media critics, movie fans, and celebrity fans, who have sent all kinds of praises and fascinated the young people of today.
The total box office of China's two sides and three regions has exceeded 20 million US dollars, which is only scratching the surface of the total overseas box office of 368.5 million, but this proportion may increase......
In 10 days, "Matrix**" collected $600 million at the global box office, which is significantly higher than "Reloaded". Since "Reloaded" can win the global box office of $920 million, does anyone think that "Matrix**" can't enter the global box office 1 billion box office club?
As the hype continues, time goes by, and a new week rolls up again.
The number on the box office list suddenly made people's eyes widen. R1152
