As early as the beginning of the year, Time Magazine listed the ten most anticipated movies by the audience in 2013. [Please search for novel updates]

"Legend of the Ranger", "Wolverine: Battle of the Samurai", "Star Trek: Into the Darkness", "Iron Man 3", "Lightning Man 2", "The Matrix", "300 Muscle Man", "Wild Speed 6", "Future Soldier 5", "The Hobbit: Wild Valley Dragon" are the ten movies on the list.

Among them, the 3D fantasy blockbuster "Legend of the Ranger" starring Jack Spurg, and the Lord of the Rings series "The Hobbit: The Dragon of the Wild Valley" are undoubtedly the most concerned, followed by the Marvel superhero movie "Iron Man 3", and again the biker "Wild Speed 6".

Although Zhang Tan's "The Matrix" is among them, it is not ranked high, and the future machine movie "Future Soldier 5" and the interstellar travel sci-fi film "Star Trek: Into the Darkness" are ranked eighth, ninth and tenth, respectively, and this ranking is directly related to the decline of science fiction movies in recent years.

It is undeniable that science fiction movies have a great influence, but in the past ten years, filmmakers' science fiction thinking seems to have dried up, and they are always spinning around on the themes of machine Qì people, doomsday earth, and alien attacks.

Either it's a sequel, a sequel, and a sequel.

There is nothing new, and I have seen too much aesthetic fatigue, which naturally makes people repeatedly disappointed.

And when the trailer of "The Matrix" was launched, this ranking was immediately updated, and the audience expectation of "The Matrix" was instantly refreshed to ma (maximum) Cheng dù.

This sleek, cool trailer has clearly ignited the enthusiasm of sci-fi fans and action fans alike.

Neo's dodging moves quickly became popular among fans as the most handsome cool moves of the year.

Even when distribution companies such as Warner Bros. and Summit Entertainment had not yet begun to advertise on TV stations, many national TV stations took the initiative to broadcast this trailer when introducing the movie.

The name "time" was quickly discovered by fans.

"Hey, yo, it's unimaginably cool, just for this shot. I will definitely go to the cinema to see it! Bob, a black guy, said in a hip-hop way when interviewed by a BB TV reporter.

Another white lad said, "This shot is full of imagination and I love it." The Matrix looks fascinating. ”

There is also a girl with a freckled face: "I like that Chinese director, he is very magical, I have been following "The Matrix", it will be the best sci-fi film of the year." ”

Seeing that the trailer was so successful, the distribution company naturally chose to keep up the good work. Fueling the fire, the promo video has been expanded to all corners.

At the same time, a second wave of propaganda also began to act.

The male and female protagonists include several main supporting characters who participate in various programs to promote the film, with Zhao Zhuo mainly responsible for the Chinese market. And Zhang Tan inevitably has to help with publicity, after all, it is a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, and it can't be too capricious.

His first show in the United States was a late-night talk show "Uncle Sam Talk Show", which aired every Saturday at midnight on the TV station, and it was a live broadcast format, and Americans liked to watch talk shows at midnight. And the ratings of "Uncle Sam's Talk Show" can rank in the top three of these late-night talk shows.

The audience covers Western countries such as Europe and the United States.

Live talk shows require the host to have great eloquence and be able to drive the atmosphere, and the guests also need to be able to play and tease. Zhang Tan appeared on this kind of live talk show for the first time, and it was fake to say in his heart that he was not nervous. When he was in China, he rarely appeared on the show, and he could talk a lot during interviews, but he was not very suitable for this kind of scene.

However, he also has his own way of coping, which is to pretend that his English is not good and needs the help of a translator.

This way he can have a good buffer time. Then avoid the rhythm or traps set by the host, which, of course, may affect the flow of the show. But ensuring that you are forced is the first priority, and the ratings of the program are not high. Zhang Tan didn't care at all.

In this way, on Saturday night, Zhang Tan came to the scene of "Uncle Sam's Talk Show", first determined the topic scope of the talk show backstage, and then started the live broadcast.

Hundreds of people were also invited to liven up the atmosphere, including many local Chinese in New York. made Zhang Tan feel very kind.

"Hello, welcome everyone to come to Uncle Tom's talk show every Saturday night." The host, Tom, is a handsome uncle.

The audience immediately applauded.

Then the camera focused on Zhang Tan, and Uncle Sam introduced: "The guest who came tonight, wow, it's very magical, he is called the most terrifying man, come, let's welcome the most terrifying man, Chinese writer and director Tan Zhang!" ”

Zhang Tan also made a vicious expression of wiping his neck, and said the signature line of "Saw Horror": "i-lay-a-game!" ”

The scene immediately burst into laughter, and Zhang Tan didn't know if it was really funny or an effect, because he didn't look to the right, there was a director standing there, responsible for guiding everyone to laugh and applaud.

Uncle Sam asked, "You've made a lot of movies, and we're familiar with "Source Code", "Chainsaw", and what's more?" ”

"Crazy Stone," "What Time Taught Me."

"Okay, I see. "Saw Horror" is very cool, you made it, and "Smart: Ghost Record" is also very cool, you created it? ”

"Producer, screenwriter."

"'Death is Coming' is also very cool, did you create it?"

"Producer, screenwriter."

"Wow, no wonder you're the scariest man, three of the coolest horror movies of this century, all created by you."

"The scary thing is the aura, and in terms of appearance, I think I am very handsome." Zhang Tan emphasized.

Next, under the guidance of Uncle Sam, the two chatted from Tiannan to Earth, and then returned to the "Matrix" movie, chatting about many behind-the-scenes stories of film creation. In the dialogue, a lot of space is about Zhang Tan's personal experience, how he started writing novels, how he started to be a director, and even writing songs.

Zhang Tan wanted to say ******** jokes at first, active and active expressions, but it was obvious that Sam and the audience did not feel the beauty of these jokes.

No one cheered, Zhang Tan simply asked and answered, maybe it wouldn't be humorous like this, but at least it wouldn't be embarrassing.

And as long as he puts his own experience, a little, it will be a very legendary story.

The world can't find anyone who is more capable than him at his age, oh, except for North Korea's Kim Sanfat, Sanfat is the most awesome of the post-80s, there is no one.

Zhang Tan can only settle for second.

An hour of talk show, unconsciously spent in a chat.

Finally, Uncle Sam ended this episode of "Uncle Sam Talk Show" with "You are a magical genius".

Later, when Zhang Tan was leaving, the assistant reported the dynamic ratings of the show to him. This talk show, compared with the previous issue of basketball stars, the overall ratings will drop by 0.1 percentage points. But interestingly, the ratings for the opening of the show were relatively low, and by the time it came to the end, the ratings surpassed the closing of the previous episode.

At least it proves that when this talk show was going on, it didn't lose much of the audience, but increased a lot.

"Obviously they didn't know me before, but once they did, they were attracted to me and my charm." Zhang Tan analyzed the rise in ratings.

This is not bragging, in the days after the show was broadcast, his assistant helped him collect the reaction to the show, and Zhang Tan still attached great importance to his first time on the show in the United States.

The response has been very positive.

Many European and American viewers left messages on the AE wave OK of "Uncle Sam" for this episode of the program.

"The first time I knew Tan Zhang, it turned out that he was so powerful."

"Is this Chinese really only twenty-six years old?"

"It turns out that "Chainsaw", "Smart: Ghost Shadow", and "Death is Coming" were all created by him, my God, I like these three horror movies."

"Great, China Tan is fantastic."

"He looks very intelligent and handsome, I thought he was a star in China, but he was actually a writer and director."

"It sounds so incredible, is he popular all over China when he was a teenager, isn't he the same as Justin Bibo, oh, I was wrong, Justin is a bad role model, and Tan is a genius."

"I'm going to watch 'The Matrix,' and Tan is one of my favorite directors." (To be continued.) )
