Chapter 196: Straight Lady Thief! (The third shift, ask for a monthly pass)
(The monthly pass can't be stagnant, vomit blood and ask for a monthly pass!! )
Megan is back in school now, she doesn't want to go back, but she can't help Chen Tiandu threaten her, "If you can't graduate with an A, don't think about the next play." ”
This really pinched her vital point, and the contract was pinched in Chen Tiandu's hands, so she really had no power to resist and went back to school obediently. also surprised her that Megan, who was originally a thorn in school, returned to school and became a future movie star, and the envious eyes of her classmates around her made her a little fluttery, and it seemed that going to school was not so sad.
After learning that she had actually opened a personal fan website, she stayed there all day long, according to what Chen Tiandu taught her, uploading some photos of her life every time, or some fun videos of herself to share with fans.
Chen Tiandu thought that many disasters in the future were caused by selfie videos, and he also added an insurance to her. did not give Megan the permission to be an administrator, but only gave her the permission to upload materials, he himself is one of the administrators, and every picture and video uploaded by Megan must be reviewed before it can be posted. In case some unnecessary videos leak some ulterior details, then it will be over in an instant.
This kind of website that shares his life with others is the prototype of Weibo, and it also reminds him of a website on the artifact mobile phone that has not yet been launched, "Should I take action now......?"
In addition to Meghan, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are also the most anticipated combination, and the scene of two muscular arms fighting each other in the movie, although it is fleeting in the trailer, still makes people see the popularity of the two big men fighting each other. Plus this is the second Hollywood film of "The Rock". It is also the first film after officially exiting WWE. Naturally, it is more interesting.
The second trailer on the Matrix's official website didn't support the third day. At ten o'clock the next night, it was announced that it had been cracked. It took a total of 28 hours and 10 million valid clicks, and the news really surprised many people as soon as the news spread.
Gillis World Records officially confirmed, "This is the fastest movie trailer in the world to break 10 million views so far, and a certificate of honor has been awarded to Matrix Film Studios!" ”
As the CEO, Peck came forward to receive the Gillis World Records certificate and posted the award pictures and videos of the process on the official website. Statement: "This is not a certificate from Matrix Films, nor does it belong to Christmas Chan, but the certificate of all the millions of registered users on the official website. We need to frame it and place it in the most conspicuous place in the matrix building, so that passers-by can see it clearly. ”
Whether this move is sensational, deliberately pleasing fans, in short, it is their achievement, which is indelible. It doesn't matter what outsiders think, anyway, the shouting of fans on the official website doesn't seem to stop, "We're really awesome." ”
In addition to the pride of their own participation. Another reason also comes from the content of the second trailer.
This is a super long version of the trailer, which is 3 minutes and 35 seconds long. When you watch these muscular straight men and iron-blooded women face the PK tank on the highway, the plane that is about to take off on the airport runway, and the escalating visually striking creative action scenes follow one after another, which makes people worry, I heard that this is the first episode of a series of movies, so what should the director let them fight in the next episode?
In this version of the trailer, the analysis of the plot has been slightly increased, and more wonderful footage of human-vehicle interaction has also been revealed.
Take the sports car vs. tank on that section of the highway as an example, Roman drove the sports car to the front in order to slow down the extremely fast tank, and forced the tank to intercept the tank, and wrapped the steel rope on the sports car around the tank's cannon barrel, and then jumped on the car driven by Brian on the other side at the moment when the tank crushed the sports car; And Dominic jumped out of the air from the other side of the bridge to save his girlfriend Letty, pushing this chase scene to the extreme.
and in the first version of the trailer, the audience generally reflected the better hand-to-hand combat scenes.
The hand-to-hand combat scene between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson on the Rock is also added a few more seconds from different angles in the trailer, which makes the vast audience addicted and not enough to watch!
And in this version of the trailer, not only Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson teamed up on the plane during takeoff, but also revealed that Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano (she is the female representative of MMA mixed martial arts) The two life-and-death fights of the Thunderbolt Lady brought a slight difference to male heroism.
At 1 minute 20 seconds and 2 minutes and 2 seconds, two thematic lines were added: "drag racing or death" and "never betray your family"!
The former highlights their fate as drivers, while the latter is a theme that runs through the film.
Smooth, exciting, and the action scenes are more exaggerated, those gripping and exciting action scenes, what the film reveals from this version of the trailer are undoubtedly on top of the higher level expected, and the excitement is not just a three-minute trailer.
After cracking the second version of the trailer this time, the third task also appeared: when the trailer reaches 10 million effective clicks, it will unlock the shooting of insider videos; In addition, for every two million additional video clicks, a wonderful still will be decrypted; If the monthly pass does not increase by 30, the old donkey will have to be added!
This almost rogue way of publicity, so that other competitor companies see the direct scolding of the mother, translated into Chinese should be: "straight lady thief!" ”
Spielberg had completed the filming of the "Band of Brothers" mini-series based on the movie "Saving Private Ryan" last year, and now he is busy with his friend Stanley Kubrick's posthumous "Artificial Intelligence".
When chatting with my friend Jeffrey, I occasionally mentioned: "You said that Christmas Chen will star in the next play, how about it?" ”
Jeffrey wondered: "Your next one, do you mean that sci-fi movie or action movie, doesn't the actor already have a pre-selection...... Well, no matter which one. It's all a good idea. Chen's acting skills are becoming more and more mature. Should be able to navigate. It's just ......" then thought of something, "but it seems that he said that he won't appear in other directors' films." ”
Spielberg shook his head and said confidently: "No one will act in their own drama for the rest of their lives, how can they know if they don't try." ”
……
While everyone's eyes are still on "Fast and Thrilling", another long-awaited movie, the sequel to "The Matrix" has successfully completed the assembly a few days ago, and is ready to hold a press conference to announce the start of filming at a later date.
A set of photos from the Los Angeles Times made the news public: "Monica Bellucci, the Italian goddess of sexy, appeared at the hotel. She is one of the actors of the sequel to the previously exposed series of movies to join "The Matrix" and came to Los Angeles to prepare for the film's launch conference. The joining of the sexy goddess has also greatly increased the proportion of women in "The Matrix". In addition, the members of the first part of "The Matrix", Charlize Theron, Lawrence Fisborn, and Hugo Weaving, who has just finished filming "The Lord of the Rings", have also returned to ......"
(Note: It seems that Monica was written as French before, but I amused it, and I have found the mistake and made corrections, which does not affect the reading!) )
Because it was two episodes filmed in a row, just coordinating the schedules of several actors wasted a lot of effort. And there are a lot of new members this time, and many of them are new faces. Among them even includes Zhou Yunfa, who has become increasingly famous in Hollywood. Also present in the hotel. He will play the key character "Keysmith" in "The Matrix 2: Reloaded".
It is not easy to invite Zhou Yunfa to play the role of the keysmith.
Today's Fa Ge has become more and more famous in Hollywood. Not to mention before, take the recently released Ang Lee movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as an example. At the end of last month, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which had been heard for a long time, was finally screened in Hollywood, and the reputation is getting better and better, and the number of theaters that have been screened is also increasing, and the box office is continuing to increase.
Compared with Chen Tiandu's "Infernal Affairs", which was promoted in North America long before its release, Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not so good. They started with screenings in the United States, slowly cultivated word-of-mouth, and then increased the number of theaters to concentrate on screenings, until now more than 2,000 theaters are simultaneously released.
As in France, the Americans were stunned. Flying on the wall, which is completely different from Bruce Lee's kung fu, and deliberately integrates the connotation of the story with the taste of Westerners, has attracted more and more Americans to pay attention to and discuss it.
In other words, this movie is completely fermented by word-of-mouth, in exchange for a continuous release opportunity.
The Hollywood Reporter commented: "Another Oscar-level masterpiece, next year's best foreign language film, will be born in two Chinese-language films." ”
The box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" continues to rise, and Zhou Yunfa, as the leading actor, will naturally rise in status. It's not that Chen Tiandu was invited this time, the movie is "The Matrix", and it is impossible for him to play a supporting role.
Chen Tiandu invited him to have an appointment on the Oscar red carpet, and Fa Ge verbally agreed at that time. Secondly, all the settings made by Chen Tiandu for the character of "Keysmith", except for the direction of the story structure, including lines, actions, and styling, are only left blanks, which is a special script handed to Fa Ge.
The purpose is simple, "You fill it in and we'll shoot it." ”
Such an arrangement also made Zhou Yunfa feel that this compatriot young man was full of enthusiasm, and he was embarrassed to refuse.
Got Fa Ge, it was an unexpected surprise.
The director team discussed that they originally wanted to invite the kung fu emperor Li Lianjie to play the prophet's bodyguard Sai Ruofu, who had an important fight scene with Neo in the sequel, and the huge group composed of three parties came up with an idea, hoping that Li Lianjie could join and complete the fight with Chen Tiandu.
After the news came out, many domestic fans were excited, and they were very eager to see the picture of these two idols acting together.
As a result, Li Lianjie's agent directly offered $10 million, so that the negotiations were stranded before they even began. At this time, Jet Li was arrogant, and he had already played the leading role in movies such as "Dragon's Kiss", and he didn't care too much about a supporting role, in addition, his external worth was indeed 10 million US dollars, but this obviously did not meet the price of a supporting role in a few scenes, and the result was naturally a collapse.
Chen Tian didn't say anything about this, but felt a little regretful. He is not a narcissistic character of "the world must revolve around me", some people accept and some reject, very realistic. There are many things that Hollywood can't refuse, such as Spielberg, etc., but he Chen Tian has not yet reached that level. In the end, I chose Zou Zhaolong, who was also good at the same skill but a hundred times cheaper, and his English name was Colin. (To be continued......)
