Chapter 958: It's a sequel again

The "Matrix" on Earth has been interpreted by various gods.

For example, the first "follo the hite rabbit", to the names of the characters and Zion, to the concerns about artificial intelligence technology and various political metaphors; Of course, there are explanations such as existentialism, structuralism, fatalism and nihilism, etc., in short, many viewers who simply think that "The Matrix" is very good and exciting suddenly find out after watching the movie reviews of many great gods, Damn, buddy didn't understand this movie at all?

Among the people who didn't understand it, including the former Sun Peng.

If you only talk about the first part, what Sun Peng likes about "The Matrix" is the heroine's black leather coat and long legs, the hero's salted fish turning over, and of course, the fire-bursting machine gun and the flying bullet casings, other metaphors and what's the doctrine, who cares?

As for the latter two......

To be honest, if it weren't for the golden finger of the traverser, Sun Peng could be sure that the only thing he remembered was the final earth-shattering battle between Neo and Smith, and the grand scene of humans fighting against mechanical squid!

To put it bluntly, all Sun Peng remembers are special effects!

Even after knowing that "The Matrix" has various interpretations, Sun Peng just read two "profound" film reviews at random. Then when he found that he still needed to spend time trying to figure out what other people's movie reviews meant, he decisively closed the webpage, and then clicked on the latest episode of the American drama CSI......

Sun Peng didn't know if what the critics said was what the directors thought, but he was not interested in those esoteric theories at all.

So when Mary? Taylor held a press conference as he wished, announcing that he would sing the theme song of Sun Peng's new movie, and the reporters aimed at at least half of their firepower at Sun Peng, who was present in friendship, hoping that he could answer the mysterious settings in the "Matrix" movie, the famous screenwriter Lao Bai only left them with a mysterious smile!

What is love, what's my business?

Sun Peng patted his ass and left, and continued to be busy with the post-editing of "League of Assassins". And the original editor of the story didn't speak, and the director of "The Matrix" crackled a lot when interviewed by reporters - Hollywood directors are still very powerful, and they will definitely not be humble and just shoot according to the script.

The only pity is that the director's interpretation does not seem to be so satisfactory.

As for the leading actors, almost all of them were the same in interviews, they just expressed their opinions, but they were silent about the intentions of the script author - to be honest, they must not understand what Lao Bai thought, even if Lin Lin chased and asked many times, in the end Sun Peng just said impatiently: "This thing is the benevolent and the wise, and what you think is what you think!" ”

But in any case, the critics' interpretation has aroused the curiosity of the audience.

Especially for those young viewers who are looking for excitement and novelty, "The Matrix" is undoubtedly a delicious meal! As some people who have watched it first sell their understanding on the Internet, and then desperately help promote the movie, the reputation of the movie "The Matrix" in China and even Europe and the United States has also begun to rise rapidly......

In the second week of its release, the box office of "The Matrix" walked out of a curve that made the producers very satisfied!

From Monday to Thursday, North America easily won 16 million, and then the second weekend it captured nearly 20 million, which is only 30% lower than the first week! In Lao Bai's home camp Huaxia, the box office data for the second weekend was 520 million, and the decline was also controlled at about 30% and a half!

This kind of result is even slightly better than "Galaxy Troopers".

As the most formidable competitor to The Matrix, Steve? Lucas and Michael? Pitt is so tough, and the quality of the movie itself is good, it still grossed $51 million in North America in the second weekend, although it fell by more than 40%, but it topped the box office charts for the second week in a row! The same situation also happened in almost all other countries that were released, that is, the box office in China fell sharply, and the box office of 320 million fell far behind "The Matrix......

……

After seeing the box office of the second weekend of "The Matrix", several studios involved in the production had a headache.

"Gentlemen, the matter of a sequel is urgent!"

On the conference call between China and the United States, Richard? Feynman said in a deep voice: "It's only been ten days since it was released, and the box office in North America has exceeded 65 million, and the final figure is a foregone conclusion that it will exceed 100 million US dollars!" And Huaxia even got 1.8 billion, and the final box office may be able to replicate the huge success of "Hurricane Rescue 2 - True Lies"! That means, gentlemen, at least $800 million...... Mind you, I mean at least $800 million at the global box office! ”

“……”

For Richard? Feynman's words, no one objected!

In fact, not only the participants of Shakelu Pictures expressed their agreement, but even Lotus Pictures nodded again and again, a middle-aged woman about fifty years old licked her lips and echoed excitedly: "That's right! The box office trend here in Huaxia is very amazing, and we guarantee that we can push it up to 3.5 billion! It's really possible to get on forty if you do it well! If the overseas box office is a little better, 900 million US dollars is also assured! ”

Obviously, everyone was a little excited.

I can't help but be excited, not to mention that the movie itself is already a big profit, and the return at the box office alone is already 100% profitable. If you add all kinds of peripherals and the income from expanding copyrights, it is simply a profitable business. And everyone has seen how heated the discussion about "The Matrix" is on the Internet, and you know with your ass that if the second part of "The Matrix" is released in the future, the momentum will definitely be more fierce than "Hurricane Rescue 2"!

To put it simply, it's a huge gold mine that needs to be mined!

Any qualified filmmaker should never give up on the plan to shoot a sequel, and there is no doubt that the second part of "The Matrix" must invest more money and attract more superstars to join! In this way, the identity of at least 800 million US dollars in the world can be met, and fans can look forward to the second part even more!

Merely......

"Gentlemen, the key now is the copyright of the second part, as well as the script!"

After everyone's emotions have calmed down a little, Richard? Feynman nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "And the key person among them is undoubtedly Mr. Laobai of your country!" Only if he nodded in agreement, it was possible for us to start filming the second part, but ...... As far as I know, he has turned down "Hurricane Rescue 3" and has not expressed his position on the script of "The Matrix 2......"
