Chapter 685: The Last Movie

After the official release of "The Matrix: Reloaded", it received $217 million at the North American box office in the three days of the first week of the weekend.

If such a box office growth rate is placed on other films of other companies, it will definitely surprise everyone and think that this thing is really terrifying.

However, when it comes to a movie like "The Matrix 2" now, everyone will only feel that this is almost a bit of a routine - after all, this is Li Chencan's movie.

Li Chencan's movie, has there ever been a time when it fails?

Everyone went to the cinema to watch "Reloaded" and did feel that it was worthy of its name, after all, it was Li Chencan's film, and this movie continued the plot of the first part and expanded a lot.

It's just that at the same time, there are also many people who feel that "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" makes people feel that they are too commercial-oriented, and they feel that there are too many fight scenes in it, so many that people can't stand it.

Some of these ideas have been endorsed by many people.

But that doesn't stop "The Matrix: Reloaded" from getting higher and higher box office in the whole world, and the world box office of this movie reached $684 million in the first week, which is also a rather terrifying number, seeing that it was only three days of release, and almost broke through the shackles of one billion dollars directly. This reminds everyone of many other movies now, and they can only sigh loudly and say a few words that cannot be compared, cannot be compared......

Indeed, whether it is other people or other film companies, there is really no way to compare with Li Chencan.

The box office of Li Chencan's previous cumulative directed movies has reached the terrifying figure of 10 billion US dollars. And after "The Matrix: Reloaded", that number has been pushed forward by a large margin.

In this regard, he has really become the first director in the world.

One thing is quite scary. That is, the current Li Chencan has not yet reached the age of thirty, and he has already surpassed many directors who are already fifty or sixty years old, and have high attainments in commercial films, and they are basically surpassed very easily.

Li Chencan's two film companies in China and the United States, including the inspection film production and distribution company in the United States, and the Xuanying film production and distribution company in China. The two companies, in just a few years, each have billions of dollars in assets. And these assets basically belong to Li Chencan alone, and they will not be divided by others because of the shares...... After counting these things, it makes people feel that Li Chencan is either himself or in his industry. Everyone else is basically invulnerable.

And he's not even thirty years old!

This is also crucial. It's terrifying.

A month after its release, "The Matrix Part II" grossed $1.54 billion worldwide, and it seems likely to become the global box office champion of the year.

However, a month after its release, the film has gradually been withdrawn from theater in many parts of the world, but the box office of the film is still increasing, and according to the performance of various places, the final box office of this film should exceed 1.6 billion US dollars.

The box office of 1.6 billion US dollars will also bring a total revenue of about 600 million US dollars to Fireworks Film Company. That's quite an amazing, quite impressive profit figure. The next fireworks film company can also grow a little after such profit figures.

This is also the power of Li Chencan's films.

"The Matrix: Reloaded" has a rating of 8.6 on the IMDB website, which is not as high as the first part of "The Matrix", but this rating has still entered the threshold of classics, and many people are waiting to see "The Matrix Part III" is the final work of the series.

…… However, while waiting for the third part of "The Matrix", everyone is actually waiting for the official release of "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight".

It is estimated that this film should be finished now, and the next thing should be in post-production of the movie.

However, Li Chencan didn't particularly care about the post-production of "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", because he knew that after the tempering of the two movies "Batman: Time to War" and "Batman: The Dark Knight", those people were basically able to produce "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" with the highest standards in strict accordance with Li Chencan's standards, and Li Chencan didn't have to worry too much about this matter.

So Li Chencan put a lot of his energy into his new movie......

His new film may also be the last film copied by Li Chencan at this stage.

Of course, there is still a "The Matrix Part III" that needs to be filmed and released by him, but that is only a sequel after all, and there are some differences from the last movie that Li Chencan wants to copy.

During the filming of "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", Li Chencan thought of a lot of things, so he had more feelings about this movie.

The "Batman" trilogy is to promote a kind of Batman spirit to everyone, from the first to the third.

In the beginning, it was Batman who gradually overcame his inner fear and became a person who wanted to change the whole world with the power of one person.

In the second part, Batman's spirit began to be restrained, he became the Dark Knight, but what he wanted to achieve was infused into Gotham City with a Harvey Dent, although Batman became the dark man in people's eyes, but his spirit was through.

In the third part, it is the rise of the spirit of Batman, after this part, although Batman's life and death are unknown, but his spirit has really spread in Gotham City, penetrating into everyone's hearts, so that the spirit of Batman has really risen in Gotham City, so Batman at this time, whether he is alive or dead, but in this world, what he wants to change has been done.

It was Batman's persistence and persistence that made Li Chencan think of more things in the process of filming this movie, and he thought of a spirit.

A spirit of redemption.

So, Li Chencan began to study his own movie, and he wanted to replicate "The Shawshank Redemption", which was so successful in another time and space that it was incomprehensible, basically in the fan circle of any country and in the history of world cinema, and had a strong honor.

The movie "The Shawshank Redemption" is really too classic.

Li Chencan will be the finale of his temporary copy of the film.

Actually, speaking of this "The Shawshank Redemption", basically, no matter whether you pay attention to the movie or not, you are no strangers to this film, everyone knows this movie, knows the bits and pieces of this movie, and many people have watched it over and over again.

Li Chencan also pulled this film several times in his previous life, and he is very familiar with the details of many movies.

The theme of the film is "hope", and the whole film shows the fear of "the passage of time and the transformation of the environment" through the special background of prison, which is a forced deprivation of liberty and a high emphasis on discipline, and the ending of the film also has a kind of "The Count of Monte Cristo"-style catharsis of revenge.

The film has been voted number one of the 250 best films by more than 400,000 members on IMDB and has been included in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 films of the 20th century......

This movie is not simply a prison escape process, but more importantly, a kind of self-redemption of people, the destruction of habits in human nature, getting used to this thing, for those who are used to it, is a good thing, and for those who still have a trace of change of faith, it seems a little scary. Because at this time, the "enemy" to face is yourself. External pressure is imposed, acceptable or unacceptable, but habits have penetrated into one's body and even bones. If you want to change your habits, the first thing you need to change is yourself. This is a very difficult thing for all living beings.

Habit means familiarity, it means safety, it means being in control, but it also means repetition, it means boredom, it means a lack of innovation, it means a lack of passion...... Habits don't matter if they're good or bad, they just depend on people's needs. And in this movie, if the actor Andy fails to escape, everything will be the same as before, and what awaits him may be a more cruel punishment. But who would know there was another way of life if they hadn't tried?

…… This is also one of the true meanings of salvation.

Li Chencan wants to make this movie into a swan song as much as possible in this time and space!

He wants to perfectly copy that film from that time and space to this time and space.

So, Li Chencan is now also starting to ask people to find prisons that are willing to cooperate to shoot this movie, preferably some abandoned prisons, and he is also thinking about a suitable actor in his heart - in the American film industry, Li Chencan can also be said to have gone through a while, so he is no stranger to some stars in the American film industry who are suitable for this movie, and he is making the final handsome selection.

However, his most important job is to make the script of "The Shawshank Redemption" and the storyboard of the movie, for Li Chencan, it is very difficult to do this job, even more difficult than making some special effects blockbusters.

Because, many things in this movie are condensed with top-level wisdom and lens language.

Li Chencan almost retreated at his home in Rongcheng, thinking about these things every day, until December 13 this year, when Li Chencan turned 29 years old.

This means that he is one step closer to turning thirty, and there is only one last bit of time left.

The script and storyboard of "The Shawshank Redemption" are estimated to be completed until around January next year.

PS: Physical condition, there is no hope at all.

I thought I might have to give up on myself.

One thought, a few needles of water, may really ruin my life. (To be continued......)
