Chapter 386: The Matrix

At this premiere, Ryan completely handed over the initiative to the Weinstein brothers, and he himself did not even walk the red carpet and entered the theater vestibule early.

The premiere was attended not only by Hollywood celebrities, but also by representatives of several advertising implanters, such as Motorola mobile phones, such as Apple computers, such as Ray-Ban glasses.

In addition, there are people from General Motors, and the movie is full of GM-owned car brands.

Unlike Warner Bros. in the previous life, when Warner Bros. was looking for sponsorship everywhere, after Jenkins Pictures released the news, many brands took the initiative to find it, and FedEx and Wilson Sports Equipment After the release of "Desert Island", the sharp rise in business volume also gave them great confidence and enthusiasm.

Although Ryan didn't star in the movie himself, the heroine is his only relative, Ryan? Would Jenkins give the failed work to Nicole? Kidman?

The first part of "The Matrix" has not yet been released, and the advertising revenue alone has recovered more than half of the production costs, and as long as the first part can be a big success, these brands still want to appear in the next two films, so pay more money.

These are all big customers who will pay money in the future, the Weinstein brothers entered the theater early and accompanied them to talk and laugh, Ryan also kept saying hello to the people who entered the theater, until a long time later, Nicole held Keanu, the partner in the movie? Reeves walked in.

"Keanu, thank you for your motorcycle." Ryan greeted him, and the actor of Neo, who had grown a thick beard at this time, waved his hand at him, "You're welcome." ”

Just after the end of post-production, Keanu? Reeves used part of the salary he had already received to buy a heavy-duty Harley Prince motorcycle for each of the main members of the crew, including him and Nicole.

The Hollywood star's way of life and thinking is incomprehensible to many. Of course, most Hollywood stars have quirks, and he is not the most prominent one.

"Keanu's sister has leukemia, and he donated a large amount of money to the relevant medical institutions."

Ryan and the two walked to the other side, because they had been filming together for a full year, Nicole knew him better, "His girlfriend is said to be pregnant and is still taking drugs. ”

"It's Keanu's private business." Ryan reminded him.

As far as he knew, the former Keanu? Reeves was also an addict until his friend Raven? It was only after Phoenix died of an overdose that he gradually quit his addiction.

"This way. Let me introduce you to a friend. ”

Nicole pulled him along, and the two walked up to a middle-aged actor, "Hi, Russell." ”

"Hello, Nicole. Hello, Ryan. ”

The other person stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "Russell? Chloe, like Nicole, is from Australia. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Russell. Ryan shook his hand, knowing that it must be a member of the Australian Gang.

Russell? Chloe was not rude in front of Ryan as rumored, and looked very humble. Because Nicole is one of the leaders of the Australian gang, Ryan treats him very politely.

The time and place now can only be a greeting, because people keep walking up to Ryan and Nicole. It's almost, talking about topics that are not nutritious, and there are not a few people who even recommend themselves.

"How did you remember to introduce him to me?" Ryan is talking about Russell? Chloe.

"I recommended him to Nancy. If nothing else, Russell will be the male protagonist of "100% Men". Nicole laughed and lowered her voice, "In order to avoid your jealousy in the future, I'll introduce you to you first." ”

"Am I so stingy?" Ryan lowered his voice as well.

"Narrow-minded, old-fashioned, possessive, and machismo." Nicole listed his accusations one by one, "Do you want me to tell them all?" ”

"It looks like I'm good for nothing." Ryan laughed at himself and asked, "You're going to work again?" ”

"Uh-huh...... I agreed to Nancy to be the heroine of "100% Men". She poked Ryan in the chest covertly, "This is your script, machismo." ”

Nicole's personality is not suitable for ordinary life at all, Ryan knows this very well and doesn't say much, anyway, as long as she's happy.

Actually, Nancy? Meyers' initial finalized lead actor was Mel? Gibson, but was vetoed by Ryan, that person's head is not very clear, God knows when he will make a mistake, and it will not take a few years to become a public enemy of Hollywood, and after getting the worst, he can only make B-grade movies, and Jenkins Films is better off getting entangled with him.

As for Russell? Chloe, although this movie is not as good as "Gladiator", how can it be praised as a line, and the "Beautiful Mind", which seems to be about a professor at Princeton University, he can't remember what his name is, he can find someone to check it, maybe he can win another actor.

"Hey, Ryan, what are you thinking?"

Leonardo? DiCaprio's voice pulled Ryan's thoughts back, he looked around, Nicole was no longer there, probably going to socialize, and immediately patted Leonardo's arm and asked, "Where's your new girlfriend?" ”

"Follow Nicole to socialize." He casually pointed to the two tall women who stood out.

"Aren't you out on location?" Ryan remembers, White Dove? "Mission Impossible 2", directed by Wu, has begun filming.

"Nicole sent me an invitation, so I can't help but come, right?" Leonardo scratched his eyebrows, "Come back for an audition by the way." ”

"Auditions?" Ryan asked cooperatively, "Which movie?" ”

"Ridley? Scott. Leonardo laughed, "Your Gladiator, Ryan, maybe we'll play against you next year." ”

"You?" Ryan deliberately hammered down his slightly thin chest, "You're too thin." ”

However, he frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, Leon, as long as you can impress Ridley, it's not a problem on my side." ”

If this guy plays well, he may be nominated for Best Supporting Actor, even if he doesn't play very well, the impact on himself is not too great.

As for Joaquín? Phoenix, with whom I have no friendship.

Just like The Lord of the Rings, the preparation of an epic film is very troublesome, Ridley? Scott signed a director's contract, and after the start-up funds for Jenkins Film arrived, he first decided on a location, which he originally wanted to shoot in the city of Rome, but was rejected by the city government of Rome, so he had to choose the location near London.

Actors are also recruited in advance, as they are all trained in swordsmanship and riding for several months.

Ryan didn't expect that Leonardo would be interested in this movie, probably every time he starred in a movie, he would be nominated for several Oscars, and it seems that Xiao Li has more pursuit of honor after becoming a first-line superstar.

"Leon's girlfriend is a smart person." As she walked towards the screening room, Nicole whispered, "I agreed to get her a role in '100% Men.'" ”

"You can just watch this kind of thing." It doesn't hurt to include a sexy and beautiful female model in a commercial movie.

"The Matrix", in the previous life, was considered to be a science fiction film rich in philosophy, and even every line and every shot was taken out and analyzed, and then a thousand strange conclusions were drawn, and some of them may not even be able to think of the Wachowski brothers breaking their heads.

It is undeniable that this movie does have a lot of metaphors, and some lines seem to contain philosophy, but in Ryan's eyes, this is just a cool, funny and profitable movie.

In order to increase the refreshment of the movie, when he wrote the script, he removed some of the things that were chattering, especially some noisy metaphors in the last two films, like the kind of constant assumptions and continuous self-rebuttal, once the audience will find it very novel, but too many times, it will only make people feel bored.

This movie is all about highlighting cool, the actors' costumes, various props, virtual fights, Motorola flip phones, Ray-Ban sunglasses, all of which show the meaning of the word 'cool'.

Of course, from another point of view, it is also the culmination of the '13' movie.

"Cool!"

"Cool!"

Such words kept coming from the back row of the audience.

"Honey, you're so sexy." Ryan's eyes fell almost entirely on the heroine, and whispered in Nicole's ear, "When you go back at night, can you wear it to me?" ”

"I'm going home in the evening, to my own home." Nicole just pushed him back.

"It's so disappointing." Ryan couldn't help but shake his head.

"It's a premiere today, and if you want to be caught by the paparazzi, I have no opinion."

Nicole's words undoubtedly hit Ryan's vital point, he obediently closed his mouth and returned to the big screen.

The movie comes to the coolest and most climactic place - bullet time.

Words like 'cool' have been used by the audience in the back row many times, and many people's mouths are almost never closed, and this movie has really scratched the itch of many people, especially young people.

As for bullet time, this is not original to "The Matrix", as early as some movies in the 80s, similar scenes appeared, but there is no doubt that "The Matrix" has completely carried forward this film technique, and it will definitely be used in many movies in the future until it is used badly.

Hollywood will follow suit, and the wonderful films it produces are based on a huge number of bad movies.

And then there's kung fu, no matter what kind of evaluation the film's action will get, after it, kung fu is bound to set off a new round of craze in Hollywood, although there are many films that use kung fu to profit from it, but this trend lasts too short.

Of course, because it is a trilogy that was filmed at the same time, there is enough suspense left at the end of the movie, such as what exactly is the mother? And where is Zion, which is frequently mentioned by Morpheus and others, this place that is obviously the most rear-end position of mankind? (To be continued......)
