After seeing the success of "True Lies", the investors of "The Matrix" were naturally greatly encouraged and their confidence in Lao Bai was greatly increased. In addition, the quality of the finished film is indeed beyond imagination, so everyone hit it off, and in the following months, the publicity and distribution funds were increased by 20 million in one go.

Of course, it's dollars!

Especially in North America and China, the two largest markets in the world, as investors in this film, when Shakelu Pictures, Lotus Pictures and Forbidden City Pictures joined hands to build momentum for the same film, the momentum far exceeded any of Sun Peng's previous live-action films, second only to the animated film "Frozen"!

TV commercials, movie roll ads, Internet ads, mobile app ads, and of course, the overwhelming Internet trolls......

In a word, let everyone know the news that "The Matrix" is going to be released!

Of course, this goal is unrealistic, Huaxia is okay, after all, Lotus and the Forbidden City are the top big companies in the circle, especially Lotus Pictures, which is one of the four giants, but Shakelu Pictures in North America is a little bit worse. But several film companies did their best to use all the channels they mastered......

"They now have very high expectations for the box office of this film."

After communicating with Sun Peng about the details of the script of "The Terminator" that night, Wei Xiaolin said with a smile on the phone: "Especially after the box office explosion of "True Lies", all the promotional films and posters put you first...... Now everyone knows that you have three blockbuster movies released this year, a "True Lies" at the beginning of the year with a global box office of more than one billion dollars, a "Matrix" investment in the summer vacation is no worse than the one at the beginning of the year, and at the end of the year, there is an animated film "The Lion King" with a higher investment! Tsk, Xiaopeng, are you trying to dominate this year's box office rankings? ”

"Domination? Ha ha. ”

Shaking his head, Sun Peng was suddenly happy.

"True Lies" is very good at the box office, but the box office of less than $1.1 billion is still far from dominating the global list! Especially those super big productions in Hollywood, because of the huge box office in this world, there are more than 1.5 billion dollar big productions every year, and it is good for the agent dad to be in the top five.

As for "The Matrix", Sun Peng couldn't even think of it.

If it is the third or even the second part, he thinks that he may have a chance to squeeze into the top five in the world, but the first part will be forgotten. Without the fan base of the previous film, and at the same time not sure about the domestic box office prospects of this theme, it is considered a success if it can catch up with the box office of "The Sixth Sense"!

Merely......

Regarding the box office results of "The Lion King", Sun Peng is quite looking forward to it.

Facts have proved that Disney on Earth is also popular with the world, and the success of "Frozen" is definitely not accidental. So if you strictly follow the price rise factor, the box office of "The Lion King" on the earth is higher than that of "Frozen...... Of course, it is the "HD remastered" version of "The Lion King", what kind of results will it be?

So after laughing, Sun Peng shook his head and said: "True Lies" is the foreshadowing of "Hurricane Rescue 1", and it is almost impossible for "The Matrix" to reach its level!" However, at the end of the year, "The Lion King" was released by the Americans in charge of other countries around the world, and I felt a bit of a drama! ”

"That'...... What about me? ”

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Wei Xiaolin suddenly asked.

"Your one? You mean Terminator? ”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Sun Peng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "Brother Wei, the box office of my script will definitely not be too bad, I am absolutely confident in this!" But in the same way, the investment in "The Terminator" is there, including the actors' coffee positions in it...... So I think it's better to be realistic than thinking about it compared to other movies! ”

"Uh...... Ha ha! ”

After hearing Sun Peng say this, Wei Xiaolin's side suddenly laughed dryly.

From Wei Xiaolin's unnatural laughter, Sun Peng could easily hear a hint of embarrassment.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Peng originally wanted to tell Wei Xiaolin that he put the hope of a box office explosion on the second part, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head - whether the second part is handed over to Lao Wei for filming still depends on the quality of this part, and Sun Peng will not say it so early.

Perhaps he also felt the silence on Sun Peng's side, Wei Xiaolin's dry smile quickly became normal, and he said with a smile: "By the way, the biggest opponent of "The Matrix" this time is Hollywood's "Galaxy Troopers", which is a super masterpiece with a star-studded audience!" And...... There is news on the Internet that you almost joined the crew of "Galaxy Troopers" back then? Tsk, if they had your script, I'm afraid they wouldn't really have to compete. ”

"Galaxy Troopers? Is it the Hollywood movie that Hu Tian participated in? ”

After listening to Wei Xiaolin's words, Sun Peng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Steve? Director Lucas did invite me, but not to write a script for them, but to do it as a soundtrack...... Haha, who came out with this news? ”

"Who knows! Maybe it was the crew of "Galaxy Troopers" who did it themselves! After all, the name of your Lao Bai is the most eye-catching in China now, and the big Hollywood directors and superstars may also want to gain some popularity, haha......"

……

After hanging up the phone, Sun Peng went to take a shower first, washed away the fatigue of the day, and couldn't help but touch his mobile phone after lying on the bed.

I searched the Internet for frequently frequented movie websites, and directly opened the trailer click list that indicates the degree of anticipation of the movie, and sure enough, the trailers of the two movies "The Matrix" and "Galaxy Sentai" were pushed to the top.

What makes Sun Peng happy is that "The Matrix" ranks first!

Sun Peng has paid attention to the three versions of the trailer, and to be honest, the director really listened to his words - except for the most popular shots in the whole film, the three versions of the trailer are all playing tricks, and all kinds of suspense are shown one by one, anyway, the audience can't figure out what he is talking about!

So his eyes swept over the trailer of The Matrix, and Sun Peng clicked on the page of "Galaxy Troopers".

Unlike "The Matrix", on the page poster of "Galaxy Sentai", the center of the station is the great Hollywood director Steve? Lucas, and on both sides are the male and female lead Michael? Pete and Helena? Jones. On either side, there is the Chinese superstar Hu Tian and a black actor, as well as several other white actors......

If you talk about coffee positions alone, it is not on the same level as the Matrix.

Seeing this, Sun Peng was not interested in watching the trailer again, but shook his head helplessly. Thinking that the most central name on the poster of "The Matrix" turned out to be himself, the screenwriter, Sun Peng knew that there should be no suspense in the box office battle between the two movies this summer......
