"This is an epoch-making film that has never been seen before or since, and it can be said that this film transcends the traditional concept of film, it has both visual impact, cultural, historical, philosophical, and religious connotations, and it can be said that it is a film that can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. You can not only look at it as science fiction and action entertainment, but also understand and reflect on it as a broad and profound work. ”

The film reviews given by the New York Times can be said to be very representative, and most of the mainstream media have shown a positive attitude towards the film.

"The Matrix" can go down in the history of cinema, there are very few science fiction films that can be compared to it in history, some films are good, but there is no depth, some movies are very deep but not good, and "The Matrix" is the kind of movie that is both good and has depth of thought."

There are many, many comments like this.

Compared to the praise that the movie has received, the hero and heroine in it - Keanu? Reeves and Nicole? Kidman, although the two were loved by the audience after the release of the movie and almost became synonymous with the movie, but in terms of acting, they were bombarded by film critics.

"Look at the faces of the male and female protagonists who are always expressionless in the movie, I admit it's cool, but they're definitely going to be the biggest candidates for next year's Golden Raspberry Awards."

As the original author, Ryan naturally also received attention.

"The Matrix novels have been out for many years, almost no one cares, and it can be called one of Ryan's least successful novels, but who would have thought that after he expanded the novel into a movie, he would show such a peculiar world of the world, and the philosophy and ideas contained in it are even worthy of our careful study, even if he is a little pessimistic about the future of technology."

Although the movie has been warmly received by the vast majority of film critics, the word-of-mouth among the audience is seriously polarized, and those who like it are simply loved to the extreme. People who don't like it don't care about it at all, and of course there are so many more people who like it than people who don't.

In its first three days, "The Matrix" grossed more than $50 million, which was much worse than the nearly $100 million first-week box office of "Star Wars Episode 1," but it sparked a wave of popularity in North America.

The cool costumes of the heroes and heroines in the movie have become the object of imitation by many fans and young people.

Even on the streets of Los Angeles in the heat, you can see many young people wearing black trench coats, wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses, and using Motorola flip phones, and their every move is imitating Neo and Trinity in the film.

Various companies that have signed advertising contracts with the film. Almost smiled crookedly.

Despite the fact that the various interpretations of the movie on the Internet and the media are almost overwhelming, Ryan threw the series behind after seeing the box office figures in the first week, as he said, excellent screenwriters and directors will only say half or less in the film, leaving the audience more room for reverie, those points they come up with. I'm afraid that I and the Wachowski brothers will be shocked when they see it.

From the moment the movie is released, what the audience thinks is beyond the control of the producer. There are a hundred Hamlets in the hearts of a hundred people.

Even if Ryan himself stood up and ran to the Internet to make relevant comments, I am afraid that many fans will refute it and be speechless.

"What is real? What you see with your eyes is reality! ”

Under the palm grove of the manor, Ryan was leaning back on a wicker chair. He said to Taylor, who had just finished playing an etude, "Honey, that's just a movie. ”

Then. He remembered that it was an R-rated movie and asked, "Allison, who took you to the movie?" ”

Scott and Mrs. Andrea, who live in Beverly Hills, are almost all Hollywood insiders, but not movie buffs.

"Of course it's me, is there a problem?"

Nicole walked under the palm tree with a cold drink and fruit and sat down on another wicker chair, "Don't worry, Taylor understands the difference between film and reality." ”

"yes, I'm not a kid anymore."

Taylor put her special practice guitar aside, retrieved the ice cream that Lisa had made for her, swallowed a small bite, and said dissatisfied, "I'm going to be ten years old soon, and Ryan treats me like a little kid." ”

After saying that, she took a big bite of ice cream, she ate a little fast, and a little too much, and immediately widened her royal blue eyes, stuck out her tongue like a puppy, and gasped heavily.

"Cool ...... It's so cool......"

Nicole quickly stood up, poured a glass of room temperature juice, and fed her a sip, "Honey, if you continue like this, there will be no ice cream to eat in the future." ”

"Okay." Taylor drooped his head, looking unusually well-behaved.

Ryan couldn't help but be a little strange, although Taylor listened to Nicole, he was too well-behaved, right? Also, her mood has been relatively low today, as if she has encountered some problems.

"Allison......" He looked at Nicole first, and the Australian girl shook her head slightly, but had to ask, "Did something happen?" You don't seem to be having a good day. ”

"When you came out of Warner Records today, you met that Stephanie? Germanotta, she laughed at me for getting uglier and uglier the older I got......" The little girl was visibly a little depressed, touching her little face with baby fat, "Actually...... Actually, I also found out that I am not as beautiful as I used to be. ”

"That's all because of that?" Ryan reclined back in his chair.

In fact, in his eyes, even Taylor when he was a child was cute at best, and he was far from being beautiful, and the little girl began to enter puberty, and her developing appearance was inevitably a little out of shape.

"Isn't that enough?" Women, no matter how big or small, young or old, are all beautiful, Taylor's eyes widened instantly, "I want to be a singer in the future, there will be countless opportunities to perform on stage, if not beautiful......"

"Then let's be a powerhouse." Ryan waved his hand absently.

Taylor pursed her lips, and it seemed that she would cry at any moment, and Nicole pulled her to her side, hugged her in her arms and comforted, "Okay, dear, Ryan is just kidding." ”

Ryan ......

Ryan reached out and rubbed Taylor's curly hair as those pale blue eyes swept over, and the little girl tilted her head away and wrinkled her nose at him with a grunt.

"Let's put it that way, Alison." Ryan straightened his face and said extremely seriously, "You've always claimed to be a senior Hollywood ......."

"It's not self-proclaimed, it is." Taylor winked at him deliberately.

"Okay." Ryan didn't bother to bother with these words, "Then have you found a universal pattern in Hollywood child stars?" ”

"Yes." The little girl did not hesitate to say, "Grow up to be depraved, just like dear Drew." ”

"Of course, you and Nat are exceptions." She hastened to add.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Ryan shook his head.

"What the hell is that?"

"Honey, haven't you noticed that the cuter and more beautiful child stars they are when they are young, they will become ugly when they grow up." Ryan told what happened to most Hollywood child stars, "And those beautiful female stars were not beautiful when they were young, and they were even ugly." ”

"For example...... Chubby chick. Taylor's eyes lit up, then turned into a look of dejection, "But you and Nat haven't become ugly." ”

"Didn't you say that Nat and I are exceptions." Ryan has always been thick-skinned.

"What do you mean......" the little girl jumped out of Nicole's arms, "I'm going to be beautiful when I grow up?" ”

It's beautiful, maybe not, but it has nothing to do with ugliness.

Although he was thinking so, Ryan wouldn't say, "I promise, my dear, you'll grow up to be a pretty blonde lady." ”

"I'm going to grow taller." In the eyes of the little girl, what Ryan said seemed to be fulfilled.

"It's okay to be taller than Nicole, right?" Ryan closed his eyes, but Taylor jumped to the edge of his chair and whispered in his ear, "Is six feet good?" ”

"If I could speak for God." Ryan pushed her little head back and said to Nicole, "You play with her, I'll sleep for a while." ”

"Ryan, are you sure you want to do this?" Nicole suddenly asked without a clue, but Ryan understood what she meant, waved his hand casually, and said, "Nicole, I asked people to register Pirates of the Caribbean as a trademark, it doesn't mean what to do now, if Disney really wants to follow Michael in the future?" If Eisner targets us together, we always have to have some means to fight back. ”

Nicole was silent, she knew that for the past few years, Michael? Eisner used a lot of means in private, such as the free paparazzi, Ryan is planning a counterattack, or a counterattack that cuts off the opponent's retreat.

Lying on the rattan chair, Ryan closed his eyes and was also thinking, the United States is highly developed in business, and there has long been a mature professional manager system, in fact, his foundation and the company under his name have also adopted such a business model, and Michael? Eisner may have a stake in Disney, but not much.

To put it bluntly, all he can rely on is Walt Disney, and if there is no Walt Disney, he is just a senior professional manager with a little money.

The best way to deal with such a person is definitely not to start a war with the whole of Disney, but to ...... him Ousted from the stage.

But, Michael? Eisner single-handedly grew Disney from a billion-dollar animation giant to a massive media conglomerate worth tens of billions of dollars, with the support of many shareholders and directors, and it was not easy to oust Disney from power before it showed signs of fatigue.

In fact, Disney's problems in recent years have faintly emerged, the animation department has not been taken seriously, there is a lack of powerful works in live-action films, and the acquired ABC TV station has not turned a profit even now, plus Michael? Eisner held almost all the power in his hands, and his arbitrary and tyrannical style has caused more and more people to disagree.

Ryan is not in a hurry, he is still young, and he has time. (To be continued......)
