The production of a big movie is obviously not something that can be done by finding all the actors, having a complete crew, and having the funds in place.

A lot of behind-the-scenes preparation can take months or even years, and the choice of a scene alone can be heartbreaking. Fortunately, Chen Tiandu's firm stance and decisive actions greatly shortened the preparation time. He and Vin Diesel led the team around, determined one scene after another, negotiated, signed the contract, and Chen Tian, who personally operated the whole process, deeply felt this difficulty.

Many of the original scenes were filmed in Sydney, "Adam Bridge" is actually at the junction of Campbell Street and Elizabeth Bridge, and the intersection in "Agent Training Program" was filmed at Martin Square and Pitt Street, where the Lady in Red also appeared......

These places are beautiful, but Chen Tiandu is unrealistic to photograph, not to mention that he has never been to Sydney, and it is impossible for him to verify them one by one when he changes so many scenes. So it was destined that many scenes would be different, and the place he chose was the New York metropolis. It would be more interesting to see more prosperous architectural wonders and add the popularity of landmark buildings.

Think about it, "What would it be like to jump across the sky between two high-rise buildings in New York, jump up, and see the light and rain of high-rise cars in New York City under your feet, as if stepping through the infinite light path of the Milky Way?"

Of course, this will also make it more difficult to shoot.

And that's not all, many of the props in the movie need to be prepared in advance, the huge iron-hulled spaceship is transported to the matrix special effects factory and successfully reassembled, and the rough prototype is nothing peculiar, many of which need to be post-processed. There are also similar mechanical squid models and robotic arms that are well built. Finally, it was moved to the Warner set and built a long green screen to enclose it. These jobs are all costly, and millions have already been spent before the film has even started shooting.

If you have a bad heart, you really can't stand it.

In the run-up to The Matrix, Kate Belsaikin, Lawrence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving were still training to master the fighting moves and hoisting tightropes, and the former two also learned Chinese kung fu from martial arts designer Yuan Heping to complete the filming of the complex fight scenes required for the film.

When Chen Tiandu succeeded in convincing investors with the idea of implanting elements of Eastern martial arts in Western action movies, it meant that the actor faced extremely painful training, and even the strong man Lawrence seemed a little overwhelmed. Chen Tiandu met with director Yuan Heping several times a day to communicate with each other face-to-face. He also invited Master Wang Shiquan, the master of Bajiquan, to be a martial arts consultant.

Yuan Heping is a person who strives for perfection, especially in action design. Compared with Kate and others, whose training effect is not ideal, he is more worried about Chen Tiandu, because he doesn't know what level Chen Tiandu has learned boxing for several years. Several times he was urged to participate in training as much as possible

But Chen Tiandu knows that he is suffering, and he also wants to be perfect, but there is not much time left for him to prepare, because the schedule has been determined, and it is tentatively scheduled for August next summer. The time is really rushed, but if you don't choose this schedule, the remaining blockbuster schedule will be scheduled for 2ooo years, which is even more than worth the loss.

The start date of the film was finally confirmed for December 8, and the location was Yanjing, China. There is no special reason why it is arranged on this day, it is a matter of course, but this day is just complete.

Chen Tiandu has been busy during this time, and occasionally picks up his boxing skills in his spare time, although it is a showmanship, he has to play it in place, he doesn't want to repeat Keanu's "mistakes".

The time is reduced little by little, and the preparation is more and more perfect. Chen Tiandu's spirit was condensed into one, and he was about to make a big move, but Donnie suddenly called, "Boss, the Internet company you want me to check has been clarified, and they are preparing to sell." ”

"Oh~~"

Chen Tiandu only remembered this matter, Donnie seemed to say that a few days would be enough, but he didn't expect to wait so long. But I understand that during this time, he has been sending him tasks, and it is not easy for him to remember that incident, "Let's talk about the situation." ”

goog1e, the Chinese name is Google.

On September 4, 1998, it was co-founded by two young men, Larry Page and Sergey Bloom, who were studying for a Ph.D. in science and engineering at Stanford University, so the two were also known as "goog1e-guys". goog1e was founded, designed and managed as a private company to provide an Internet search engine "goog1e search"; The goog1e website is not yet available, so it's no wonder that Donnie has been checking it for so long.

In fact, when Donny found out about this company, it was also very strange, it was completely a small network company, and IT companies like this in the United States were everywhere, and he didn't know how Chen Tiandu knew about them.

The two young men are now in talks with Excite to sell the company, and their offer is $1oo. But this figure is obviously not what Excite is willing to accept, and they cut the price to $750,000, and Excite's executive George Bell still refuses to buy it.

Chen Tiandu wanted to focus on movies, but recently he felt that he didn't have enough money to spend, so he temporarily decided to make some investments.

He didn't know what Goog1e's future achievements were. It seems that I saw it in the dream of being knocked out by my mobile phone, and this company seems to be quite good, but I can't remember exactly how it was. If it weren't for the fact that the goog1e app on his phone was suddenly lit up and reminded him, he wouldn't be allowed to engage in a side hustle.

In a humble studio in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, USA, Larry Page and Sergey Bloom were absentmindedly introducing the company's business to a young man in front of them, "Our project, from Stanford's BackRub, is based on its search ranking principle of analyzing a large number of backlink banetks. The original word of the name goog1e is "googo1", which refers to the power of 1oo (square) of 1o, which represents the massive resources on the Internet. We started this company with the mission of integrating global information so that more people around the world can visit and benefit from it......"

Chen Tiandu listened to their report with interest, but Donnie's face was not very good on the side, and he whispered: "Boss, this company doesn't even have a website, and all kinds of facility research are based on theory, except for two students with empty illusions, there is nothing worth visiting." I'm not built yì you buy it. ”

Such a faceless construction made Larry Page and Sergey Bloom very angry and stopped continuing the introduction. "Since you don't want to buy it, are you here to entertain us? Don't think you're presumptuous with a few stinky money, we don't watch much of movies. ”

Chen Tiandu was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said, "Gentlemen, this is just the opinion of Downey's lawyer, I didn't say anything, did I." Although the explanations of the two have been absent-minded, I, the intended buyer, have been listening carefully from beginning to end, why should the two of them be tempered, this is not a gentleman's doing. ”

Larry Page and Sergey Bloom were a little embarrassed for a while, but they had already let go of the cruel words just now, and they were a little embarrassed to apologize immediately.

Since they took the initiative to lower the price to $750,000, but were still rejected by Excite, their self-confidence has been greatly damaged, although they have to do something with their breath, which Excite regrets. But after all, it's a student, and it's a blow to enthusiasm, and it's hard to be angry at this time.

When they opened their mouths and were about to say something, Chen Tiandu interrupted them and continued: "I'm still quite optimistic about goog1e, your concept seems a bit exaggerated now, but it is a noble goal. 'If there is a lot of heart, the world will be as big as it is', who said this sentence...... Well, it's good to be ambitious, I'm afraid you don't have the courage. I'm bullish on this company, and I'm even more optimistic about you, so I decided to buy this company, what do you think of the price of $1oo dollars? ”

Several people in the room were stunned for a moment, and Larry and Sergei looked at each other in a way that seemed incredible.

Donnie was even more surprised, and was about to open his mouth to admonish but was stopped by Chen Tiandu.
