151. Gathering of Heroes in the United States of America 02

"The Matrix" is a science fiction film produced by Warners, directed and written by brothers Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski, the script is inspired by the non-traditional literature they read and wrote, the rapid development of the Internet and the rapid popularization of personal computers, as well as the intelligent weapons created by Stark Industries, and the artificial intelligence that was rumored to be created by Tony Stark, the current head of Stark Industries, have further refined the ideas of the two.

Warner's producer Joe Silvo saw the script and was immediately drawn to the story, deciding to shoot it. Johnny Depp was the first choice of the Wachowski brothers when it came to choosing the leading actor, but Warner had a better candidate, as they tried to hand the script to Eric Xavier, who had made history in the past year. Of course, they still have a list of candidates, after all, the whole of America knows that Eric Xavier's main job is a researcher at EX Industries, and he only proposed at the EX Industry Expo last year the grand goal of conquering the cancer gene chain in the next five years, and "The Matrix", a sci-fi action movie, requires him to take over the filming, and undergo a series of hard training, and the filming time is conservatively estimated to take four months, so it will take at least half a year, and the chances of the other party agreeing to come down are not favored by Warner.

But Warner still wants to give it a try, they have worked together before, and Eric Xavier's second film, "Los Angeles Confidential", was invested by Warner. The film invested $35 million and eventually earned $300 million at the global box office and won an Oscar. You must know that this is under the squeeze of the two super blockbusters "Titanic" and "A Thousand Shots".

By the way, these two films that are destined to be remembered in film history, Eric Xavier's capital injection accounts for 30% of the total production cost of "Big Ship", as of a few days ago, the total global box office of "Big Ship" has exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars, and the global heat has not faded, everyone does not know what kind of box office miracle this big ship will create.

And the latter has completely made Eric Xavier an idol, superstar, and speaker in the United States and even the world (this is not a joke, the speech with the theme of "soul without genes" is still praised by relish, and various scholars and experts are evaluating its value, and it was previously said that it raised the box office of "One Shot" by at least 100 million US dollars, which is really not a casual statement).

In short, a proper winner in life.

In the eyes of the producers, it is the box office harvester.

As you can imagine, when Eric Xavier agreed to join, Warners cheered and showed Fox and Paramount, who had been sent because of the big ship, that it was our turn for the next year. The Wachowski brothers, who are directors and screenwriters, were equally happy when they learned the news, they originally thought that Eric Xavier had no time, so they retreated to the next best thing, and now it is even better.

Of course, in addition to Eric Xavier's acting skills, good looks and box office appeal, he is also super rich, and he is keen to invest in movies, look at "A Thousand Shots" He invested 50 million US dollars without saying a word, and of course there was a follow-up, and a check for 60 million US dollars for "Titanic", this is simply #People are stupid and money come quickly#, cross out, and it is the director's dream investment candidate.

Besides, Eric Xavier has the behemoth of EX Industry behind him, and even technical support can be provided, take a look at the special effects provided by the EX special effects company in "One Shot", which is definitely a precedent for a lot of special effects technology. Now, everyone knows that this special effects company is owned by Eric Xavier.

It can be said that there is such an actor in the group, the investment is in place immediately, the technical support is in place, and the box office is also on the way to be in place.

Anyway, it's the best candidate.

You ask #People are stupid and how fast to come# This name is Eric Xavier, AKA Gu Qing doesn't know, of course he knows. When filming "A Thousand Shots", because of the sensitive issues (this movie is about the advantages and disadvantages of genes, and considering the subtle relationship between ordinary people and mutants now), when the film was called a "propaganda film" of the EX industry, the outside world judged it like this, and the great director James Cameron also called to ridicule it.

But then again, #δΊΊε‚»ι’±ε€šι€Ÿζ₯#ηš„ι‘Ύι’ε‡­ε€Ÿη€θΏ™δΈ€ιƒ¨ε½±η‰‡, it's right to make a lot of money.

When he watched this movie for the first time, Gu Qing was very interested, and now let him watch it a second time, it is a little subtle. Let's put it this way, if the current point in time was before he took over the film, then he wouldn't have made it a second time, but now that he has taken over the next step, there are many ways to terminate the contract, but Gu Qing still didn't in the end, there is such a reason: Hugo Weaving, the actor who played the villain Agent Smith in this movie, has the same appearance as Lord Ravendell Elond.

Moriarty, who knew about this, said in a cheerful tone: "Little Honey, you have so many relatives, Daddy is really happy for you, and I never knew that you still had masochistic tendencies~" Moriarty, who spoke as always jumpy, held a book in his hand, "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" with relish.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows, the meaning is obvious, let's not laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps.

Moriarty gave his boyfriend a wink, "That's why I said we were born to be a couple." ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced you to my current relatives yet." Gu Qing clasped his hands together against his chin and said slowly, "Um, what is known to the outside world on the surface, my father, the owner of EX Industries, Charles Xavier, a big capitalist, oh, he is my finest. ”

As he spoke, he also demonstrated to Moriarty the #ε€§θ’°δΊΊ#, from his current appearance to the appearance of Charles Xavier, the great capitalist, with an angular outline, dark blonde hair meticulously combed to the back of his head, a cold momentum, and a cold, ruthless and arrogant look in the eyes of people.

Moriarty put the book aside and stared at the middle-aged version of Mr. Xavier with burning eyes, "Well, it's spicy. ”

Gu Qing leaned back and changed back to his original appearance, "Actually, Charles Xavier, Professor X, the spiritual leader of the mutant faction who advocates peaceful coexistence with ordinary humans, daddy; Eric Lanshel, Magneto, the boss of the mutant faction who advocates fighting against ordinary humans to take over Earth, and his abilities can be glimpsed in his title, oh, don't worry, I've beaten him once, Mummy. ”

Moriarty's interest was even stronger, his big eyes shone brightly, "Sweetheart, this setting instantly made me make up a lot of love and hatred in my brain, don't tell me, they were best friends when they were teenagers, they didn't agree with each other when they were young, they went away, and now they are still in opposition?" ”

Gu Qing thought about the story between Professor X and Magneto, and his expression became subtle: "It's far more #sadomasochistic love than you said#, well, a lot of abuse." ”

"Oh? But what about your manipulative identity? Moriarty blinked his wet eyes, "Honey, you'll have to make it clear to me, or it won't be good to show your stuff when you go to see your parents again, don't you think?" ”

Gu Qing sighed: "Didn't I sue you, daddy, Professor X, he has the most powerful telepathy and thought control ability?" As for Mummy, he doesn't know where in the world he is carrying out his great work. Of course, #δΈ‘εͺ³ε¦‡ζ€»εΎ—见公婆#, don't worry, baby. Well, and I mean, mummy discriminates against non-mutants, even those who are acquired. ”

Moriarty: "......"

So, before meeting your "in-laws", adapt to society and make a good movie.

……

"The Matrix" became popular before filming because of Gu Qing's joining.

After "A Thousand Shots", the public paid attention to his next move, so when the news of his next movie came out, the film was in place from the inside, from the director to the actors, from the cost of production to the production team, from the script to the type of film, etc., which can be said to be not a national concern.

Judging from the feedback, the expectation is not optimistic.

In fact, there is another movie starring Gu Qing released this year, that is, "Saving Private Ryan" directed by Steven Spielberg, in which Gu Qing is not the starring role, and the male lead is Tom Hanks. When filming this movie, who would have thought that after only half a year, Gu Qing's popularity and status would rise like a rocket.

-- "A Thousand Shots" brought him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, another starring "Los Angeles Confidential" was also well received, and the investment in "Titanic" broke film history records one after another. You must know that before the movie was released, neither "One Shot" nor "Titanic" was favored by film critics, especially the latter, and the release date was postponed again and again. Looking back now, my face was swollen.

Under the watchful eye, "The Matrix" entered a semi-closed filming.

The reason why it is said to be semi-closed is because many scenes in this movie cannot be closed, such as a scene of a helicopter flying over a high-rise building.

This scene was filmed in Sydney, and many reporters were moved by the news, and they were eager to photograph Gu Qing's appearance in "The Matrix". The crew is really, will you die if you put a makeup photo outside? What a mystery! If you are too careful, the public will not buy it! Well, the last sentence is the idea that the reporters secretly rubbed, if the public didn't buy it, would they come to Australia across the ocean? Stumble!

However, there are too many journalists, right? It's too hard to eat these days! Wait, it seems a little wrong, when did the Playboy reporter also come to interview Eric Xavier for the scandalous insulator? No, he still has a scandal object, Leonardo DiCaprio, the two of them at the Golden Globe Awards at the beginning of this year, the "kiss of the century" is still talked about by the general public, everyone now doesn't pay attention to whether they kiss or not, anyway, they all default to their kiss, they want to know how many times they kissed now!

"Who are you squatting?"

"Tony Stark! What about you? ”

"Eric Xavier!"

After the reporters on both sides exchanged information, after knowing that Tony Stark was chasing stars with a female companion, and the star being chased was Eric Xavier, they looked at each other, and then exploded. O Virgin Mary, this time the fun, no, the news is great!

Why?

Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Industries, made his first circuit board at the age of four, the V8 engine at the age of six, the future of the Ark reactor, entered the Department of Electrical Engineering at MIT at the age of fifteen, graduated with the highest score at the age of seventeen, became the chairman of Stark Industries at the age of twenty-one, and a genius, a billionaire, a playboy (in no particular order), slept through the cover of Playboy for twelve months, fed many tabloids and many paparazzi in the United States, and was simply their reborn parents!

In this way, it has nothing to do with Eric Xavier, who is a Hollywood star, except for "Playboy".

But who made Eric Xavier have a bunch of other halos in addition to the aura of a Hollywood superstar? At the age of twenty, he had a Ph.D. in genetics and biological sciences from Harvard, and at the age of twenty-three, he received a Ph.D. in psychology, the heir to EX Industries, and a genius, a billionaire, a scandal insulator (in the same order), a good friend who has also become the idol of boys and girls around the world, and has supported many newspapers and media in the United States, while also threatening to buy the American media behind the notorious tabloid "National Inquirer".

So, let's list the keywords that have intersections, "genius" and "billionaire", it is enough to have these two things in common!

Who made them both not average geniuses and average billionaires?

Stark Industries started as an arms dealer, and now people have laundered it and called it a weapons industry, but everyone knows that arms dealers make money, and Stark Industries, as a leading enterprise, has absolutely no total value. Tony Stark is its chairman, and the top of the Forbes list has been contracted by him.

Let's look at EX industry, the predecessor of EX industry is Straker industry, Straker industry itself is an old industrial group, before the change of dynasty into EX industry, it can be compared with Stark industry, after becoming EX industry, not only did not wither, but was injected with new vitality, coupled with the decline of Osborne industry that overlapped with it in the field, after last year's EX Industry Expo officially confirmed its leading position in the field of medicine and genes.

It's going to be said here, Eric Xavier is just the heir, and there is still a "dead father" distance between him and Tony Stark, the chairman, and the wealth value is definitely not as good as Tony Stark's, but he can't stand up to being a genius, and at the same time a genius who can put money in his hands.

To put it bluntly, these two goods are proper life winners, the fifth diamond king, and it is really normal to be compared together.

But it's so amazing, the two of them have never been in the same frame! This makes people have to sigh that the earth is so small and the United States is so big. But now, they are going to be in the same frame, big news!

The reality didn't disappoint them, this time it's really the same frame and not P, as for the atmosphere of the scene, why didn't anyone think of installing a bugger, the professionalism of being a paparazzi!

Journalists: "QWQ"

Now turn your gaze back to the scene.

Tony, rich and willful, playboy, Stark made a phone call to visit the crew for the sake of the Pomeranian's smile, which is really normal.

And Gu, rich and capricious, life winner, and Qing were pushed out by the crew to have a friendly exchange with Tony Stark, which is normal.

Tony Stark stood outside, wearing a white suit and pink shirt or something, wearing brown sunglasses, a mustache, plus a blonde beauty and a fragrant car, constantly exuding arrogance and pride.

The blonde beauty was amused by Tony, and Tony enjoyed it too, when suddenly the female companion's laughter stopped and exclaimed, "So handsome." ”

Handsome, of course handsome, Tony Stark is never narcissistic, he calls it self-confidence.

However, it was not him who the female companion boasted about. Tony followed her line of sight, this was the first time he had seen Gu Qing in person, and before he could start talking, a subtle unhappiness rose in his heart. Oh, of course, it can be thought that it was his female companion, and he didn't even praise another man for a long time.

Gu Qing just finished a scene, and before he had time to change out of the clothes in the movie, he was wearing a black slim ankle-length coat, black shirt + black trousers + knee-high leather boots, and wearing sunglasses.

Anyway, it's a big handsome!

Tony Stark still had the same posture, and when Gu Qing took off his sunglasses, he took the initiative to reach out and saw the leather gloves Gu Qing was wearing, "Oh, you don't like shaking hands, I know, I don't like it either, except for beautiful women, of course." Hi Tony Stark, I was kidding. He didn't take his hand back.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stark, and I'm Eric Xavier." Gu Qing had a pure smile on his face, took off his gloves and shook Tony's hand, he was now able to control his ability freely, "And I agree with your point of view, a handshake will pass a large number of pathogens, in fact, kissing is safer than shaking hands." Um, you're not waiting for me to kiss you, are you? ”

Tony Stark: "...... If you must, please... Allow me to solemnly refuse. ”

-- They have one thing in common, and that is that they have a lot of personality. To Tony Stark, ask the dignitaries and celebrities who choked to death; And Gu Qing, when he was asked in an interview about "spending 50 million US dollars to invest in making a promotional video", the sentence he replied "rich and capricious" became crazy and became popular, and "capriciousness" was going to be broken.

"Tony, just call me Tony. Do you know? I appreciate your speech on the theme of "Maintaining World Peace", of course I know it is not titled this, but you cannot deny that you are calling for world peace. The title of that talk was "The Soul Has No Genes."

Gu Qing's face did not change and accepted Tony Stark's 'compliment': "Thank you, I have heard of you before this." ”

Tony Stark slipped his hand into his suit trouser pocket and asked with interest, "Oh, really?" So how do you feel about me? ”

Gu Qing's azure eyes contained sincerity, and he looked down at Tony Stark, a great arms dealer: "A true patriot." ”

Tony Stark is also able to keep his face unchanged: "This is really a very chic assessment, no irony, isn't it? ”

"Of course, you hold the power of the weapons empire, lead it to new heights, create intelligent weapons, advanced aircraft and satellite positioning technology, and you can say that you have created a new pattern of the weapons industry, defending the freedom of the United States and the interests of the United States in the world. This is not a true patriot, what is it? Gu Qingyi said it rhetorically, very infectious, even if everyone who heard it thought it was sarcastic, but when it came out of his mouth, he felt that it was very natural.

Tony Stark "Wow", "I was almost touched by that, really. So do you need me to praise you a wave? That's really embarrassing, I haven't seen the movie you played in that pursues #Everyone's Equality#, I took the girls to see the big ship that hit the iceberg, believe me, I really like this movie, especially the line 'I am the king of the world'. ”

Gu Qing bowed slightly: "I can understand." This sentence is praise or disparagement, then #benevolence sees benevolence, and wisdom sees wisdom#.

Tony Stark took off his sunglasses and buttoned up his shirt on his chest, revealing his big caramel eyes: "Youknowwhat, I know you're making a movie involving artificial intelligence right now, trust me, I'm more than happy to help you and you make a splash at this year's Stark Messe for free, of course." ”

"I'm sure Mr. Joe Silvo will be happy, oh, he's the producer of this film." Gu Qing is not an investor or producer of this movie, strictly speaking, it does not represent this film, "However, I am personally happy to have an academic exchange with you on 'artificial intelligence'." ”

Tony Stark raised an eyebrow: "Are you serious?" ”

Gu Qing frowned, feeling that this matter was not so incomprehensible, so he let go of his brows, blinked his blue eyes, which also fascinated thousands of people, and said lightly: "I like your eyes, so yes." ”

Tony Stark: "...... Oh, should I thank you for this illogical compliment? Okay, then I really thank you, but I have to say sorry to you. You can also see, I'm very busy now, wait for the next time, you make an appointment with my secretary Xiao Pepper, let's find a place with an atmosphere, and then have the academic exchange you said. God knows, I haven't had an academic conversation with anyone in years. Tony Playboy Stark likes to have deep β™‚ conversations ♀ in bed, and at first glance he is not used to academic-communication.

"I'm looking forward to it," Gu Qing tilted his head to look at the 'reason' that kept Tony Stark busy, and his female companion showed a smile that few people could resist, "So, do you want to take a group photo?" ”
