The box office of the film market is developing according to a certain law, for example, there were not many commercial films in the mainland market before, that was because there were too few people who walked into the cinema to watch movies, and most of the people who were willing to enter the cinema were people with certain ability and social status ("Shaolin Temple" should be regarded as a commercial film in that era).

Therefore, literary films are popular; Later, this fact changed, more and more people entered the cinema, and Feng Xiaogang began to use his continuous cultivation and cultivation of the habit of Chinese people to watch Chinese New Year movies every year, so that the box office gradually rose. However, in 1999, movies were not the preferred entertainment method for the general public, and if there was no particularly anticipated movie, most of the salaries were deposited in the bank.

And this year's National Day, "The Matrix" is obviously such a movie worth looking forward to.

As the sixth set of programs of the Central Television Station, the movie channel transmits programs to the whole country through guò satellite compression and scrambling. Since the successful trial broadcast on November 30, 1995, it was officially launched on January 1, 1996, and it is also the only professional movie channel in the country so far. In 1999, the country's population reached 585 million. According to the CCTV-Sofurui Company's survey and statistics on the ratings of each channel of China Central Television Station in the sample area, the average ratings and market share of the movie channel among all channels of China Central Television are among the best.

Such a TV channel for exclusive movies is still very popular with domestic filmmakers.

As the host sat down, there was an action on the spot, and the interview officially began.

"Welcome director Chen Tiandu to our exclusive conversation on the movie channel, welcome." The host applauded to himself.

Chen Tiandu wore a warm-colored sweater, entered with a smile, and waved to the camera, "Hello everyone." ”

A pair of flat eyebrows are rich like ink charcoal, loyal and handsome, which makes people look good.

"Today, I heard that I was going to interview director Chen Tiandu, and I was so nervous that I couldn't do it, for fear that there would be a mistake in this interview. When I really met the director, I found that it was very kind. In fact, everyone doesn't know that before we started, the director saw that we were very nervous and kept joking with everyone to ease the tension. I want to ask the director, when you are filming, you have to be a director and an actor at the same time, will you also enlighten other staff members in the crew? ”

"Yes, filming is a collective work, and I'm not actually the kind of person with a lot of ability. I have to direct and perform again, and as soon as I turn on the camera, everyone's attention is all on me, and I am so nervous that I can't do it. Fortunately, I am still an investor, so if I smash it, I will be cheeky and try it again, and I will be cheeky after many times. But when others work with me, you can't be too nervous, so enlightening everyone is a must, and it's also one of the director's jobs. ”

The host said: "Actually, strictly speaking, you graduated in 1997 and went to Hollywood to film, and now it has only been two years, so the first drama "The Sixth Sense" since your debut has reached the peak beyond the reach of others, will it have any impact on your future filming of "The Matrix"? ”

Chen Tiandu nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course there will be an impact." There is an old Chinese saying that the higher you stand, the more it hurts to fall. "The Sixth Sense" was so popular that after that, everyone would be paying attention to my second film. Fortunately, I am a thick-skinned person, and the opposite side of pressure is also motivation. is like a whip, spurring you to shoot this drama well behind your back. Fortunately, so far the movie "The Matrix" has not disappointed everyone. ”

"Directors, actors, screenwriters, your films are often a combination of multiple characters, and people say that you have a strong desire to control. And your first film was a horror film, the second was a science fiction film and the third was a feature film, have you ever wondered what you are best at? ”

"Desire for Control...... Yes, indeed. I've also thought about this question, as long as it's a movie starring me, if I work with other directors, I'm afraid it will be unsatisfactory. Because I don't like other people's fingers in my story, I just work a little harder, and the director will do it himself, after all, I graduated from the directing department, and the director is my right job. When it comes to being good at that side, I can't answer this, every drama is filmed so hard. If you ask me what kind of movies I prefer, I can tell you the answer directly......"

"Oh, what kind of movie is that?" The host asked pretending to be curious.

"Oh, there's nothing strange about it. I prefer a little more cheesy comedy because it's more down-to-earth. If I have the opportunity, I hope to make a comedy I like every few years in the future, so that everyone laughs and laughs until my stomach hurts, and that's what I yearn for. ”

……

On the evening of September 30, the Temple of Heaven in Yanjing was brightly lit. The huge movie posters of Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus occupy the most conspicuous position on the Temple of Heaven, and the inflatable model of the mechanical spaceship is also erected, and the mechanical squid decoration makes the whole scene thick and gorgeous.

It was the first film ever in China to hold its premiere at the Temple of Heaven.

Chinese pay more attention to pomp and circumstance, and perhaps some people still think that it is too insulting for a movie to be screened in the Temple of Heaven. But a few years later, even the people's congress has become the venue for the premiere of the movie, and I'm afraid no one would have thought of it.

There are not too many celebrities to help, and the audience who come to the audience will also snap up the seats below. Chen Tiandu was alone, and as soon as he appeared, he caused earth-shattering cheers. This made Chen Tiandu himself very surprised, he is popular in the United States, but he is not in China all the year round, and there are so many people who are sought after, which is really touching.

There were also several special audience members sitting in the front row, and Donnie watched with great interest as the boss accepted the applause of the audience on the stage, and said to Ma Huateng next to him: "The boss is more popular in the United States, especially after the release of "The Matrix". ”

Ma Huateng asked curiously: "I heard that the box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars, how much can the matrix company get from such a big box office?" ”

Downey shook his head, "I'm just the boss's private investment consultant lawyer, not a Matrix employee. The profitability of movies is very complicated, and for blockbusters like "The Matrix", the box office is not the biggest profit point, and more profits come from the surrounding offline. I don't know what the specific profit is, anyway, after the boss's two movies, the media in the United States has already settled accounts for him, saying that he is the youngest billionaire. ”

Ma Huateng and others were suddenly envious, it has only been two years, and they are billionaires, and movies are really making money.

Chen Tiandu on the stage was a little excited, and shouted loudly: "As a filmmaker, the premiere is the moment I enjoy the most. As a Chinese filmmaker, I would like to say that the most exciting moment is to show a movie in front of my relatives in my motherland. ”

Everyone looked at Chen Tiandu on the stage, and the reporters' flashes were connected into a film.

"No matter what kind of achievements my film has achieved overseas and what honors it has achieved, I hope that it can be seen by domestic audiences, and I will do everything possible to get it back to China for release, and I hope that more domestic fans can see my film. If a filmmaker leaves his motherland and his compatriots and audiences, then his film is a source of water and a tree without roots, and it is destined to not grow. Thank you all for your support, I love you. ”

"Wow~~" There was a round of applause and cheers from the audience.

The host suddenly said: "There is an important guest who rushed to the scene today, can Director Chen guess who it is?" ”

Chen Tiandu was stunned, this was not a pre-arranged procedure, and he deliberately said a few names in a funny way, "Spielberg?" Zhang Yimou? Director of the Lee case? Stop playing, I can't really guess this. ”

"Hahaha, it's not difficult to be a director. Treat to our Morpheus actor Lawrence Fishburne and our beautiful Miss "Trinity" Kate Beckinsale. They all had jobs and didn't have a schedule to go to China, but this time they specially excused themselves from their jobs and came here just to meet the Chinese audience......

Then I saw the big black man and the curvaceous Kate walking up together, and Chen Tiandu was also stunned, and then a smile bloomed on his face. smiled helplessly: "Even I hid it, and you will have good fruit to eat in the next play." ”

Kate walked over, greeted the audience in half-baked Chinese, and then generously took Chen Tiandu's arm. The audience suddenly screamed, "Kiss one, kiss one, kiss one......"

The host also coaxed, "What should Miss Kate do if she can't understand Chinese, should she shout Kiss?" ”

“Kiss，，Kiss，Kiss……”

Lawrence also understood this time, and joked: "I feel that I am superfluous, the scene is handed over to you, I will go back." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey." Chen Tiandu walked over with a smile and gave him a big hug, "Thank you, buddy." ”

"Kiss, Kiss, Kiss......" the fans were still shouting.

Chen Tiandu spread his hands helplessly, Kate also smiled lightly and took the initiative to hug him with both hands to hook his neck, Chen Tiandu naturally put his hands on Kate's waist, and when he lowered his head, a pair of cold lips were imprinted. I haven't seen each other for many days, and this kiss has not been overdone, but it seems to have become more intense.

"Wow~~"

The audience suddenly set off a high tide. The reporters' flashes kept flashing, and they knew that tomorrow's front-page cover was there.
