At the beginning, Lin Mu regretted that he was not able to get the script of "The Matrix" one step ahead of Warner, and now they have sent it to the door, although the Wachowski brothers are somewhat forced to helpless, but this landmark science fiction movie has a great attraction to Lin Mu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He couldn't keep it out.

After figuring out the farce between the Wachowski brothers and Warner, Lin Mu was helpless to find that this film, which was regarded as a classic by countless fans in later generations, has now reached an extremely embarrassing position. The producers refused to invest because they couldn't understand what the film was about, and even sued the two directors of the film. In Lin Mu's words, Warner's top management is really going back more and more.

After expressing sympathy for the Wachowski brothers' plight, Lin Mu personally called the chairman of Warner Studios, and the two rivals in the mall spoke on the phone like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and said a lot of polite compliments to each other. Xiao then Lin Mu intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Warner's filming "The Matrix", and the other party was also an old fox in the mall, so he naturally heard a different meaning in Lin Mu's words. No matter how Lin Mu led the words to that side, the other party always talked about him left and right, as if he was very evasive about this matter.

Lin Mu originally wanted to directly propose to him the idea of buying "The Matrix", but he thought about it, and his doing so was likely to arouse the ideas of Warner's top management, and let them rediscover this treasure, at that time, Paramount's situation was passive, not to mention, even if the Wachowski brothers were determined to cooperate with Warner, Lin Mu would probably have to pay a lot of price if he wanted to snatch this piece of fat from Warner's mouth.

Thinking of this layer of stakes, Lin Mu didn't rush to mention this topic with the other party, the two chatted a lot, and then Lin Mu deliberately led the topic to several recent Hollywood movies, and he really unintentionally expressed himself to the other party on the phone! Songmeng has a strong confidence in several films that are being filmed, and when he finally hung up the phone, he also deliberately showed his attention to Warner's new film "The Matrix", and he hoped that Warner could make a good movie this time.

Lin Mu's "kind wishes" made Warner's chairman lose his temper in the office after hanging up the phone, and even took the producer Joe Sylvau to be called by him to reprimand. In his opinion. Lin Mu obviously knew that "The Matrix" couldn't be filmed, and then made this call to ridicule his incompetence and belittle Warner, taking the opportunity to further raise Paramount's value.

Lin Mu took advantage of this to disguise his true intentions, and after sending away the Wachowski brothers, he called his assistant to the office and secretly instructed him to do something, and he emphasized that this matter must be carried out in secret.

Lin Mu's idea is simple, Paramount shows interest in "The Matrix" at this time, which will inevitably arouse Warner's suspicions. In order to smoothly transfer the copyright of the production of "The Matrix". The woods also had to make some small means.

He asked his assistant to find a Hollywood studio, which should not be too close to Paramount, preferably the kind of company that has no direct interests, otherwise it will attract suspicion.

After ensuring reliability, Paramount secretly signed an agreement with this company, and this company proposed to Warner the willingness to buy "The Matrix", and the price might as well be lower, so that he could get the copyright of "The Matrix", and then sell it to Paramount, so as to avoid Lin Mu directly coming forward to let Warner see some clues, although this method is a little shady, but the mall is deceitful, the most important thing is that Lin Mu does not want to waste his efforts in negotiations with Warner.

Everything went smoothly according to Lin Mu's plan, and the assistant found him a distributor from New York, and the two sides quickly negotiated the deal price. Then the film company swaggered to Warner and proposed that he wanted to invest in the film. Warner is also having a headache about this film, which is now a hot potato, and they are overjoyed by the appearance of the wrongdoer.

The Wachowski brothers don't know what kind of means were used to give the studio confidence in their film. The only thing that upset Warners was that they put $40,000 into the film, but the New Yorker was only willing to pay $10,000. The two sides quarreled over the price, and Warner did not want to let go of the wrongdoer, but it was difficult to accept his request on the price.

While there was a lively bargain here, Warner producer Joe Silci, who was watching coldly outside, was puzzled, he obviously asked the Wachowski brothers to find Paramount's woods, where did they find this guy who didn't seem to know anything about movies, and was willing to wipe their butts for them. The appearance of this man ruined Joe Silvo's original plan.

Jossilvo asked the Wachowski brothers to go to Lin Mu, but he didn't actually want to push the film to Paramount. Joe Silvo has always believed in his own judgment, he knows the true value of the film, but he can't find a reason to convince Warner's top management, so he thinks of Lin Mu.

The cooperation between Warner and Lin Mu has been a long time, but the private relationship is not as good as what he told the Gentussky brothers. Warner suffered a big loss in the hands of Lin Mu, when Warner Records was acquired by Paramount, Warner was still complacent about getting rid of it at a high price, but later the situation was that the original Warner Records of the renamed music company did well in the record industry. Not only does he hold the two super trump cards of Madonna and Michael Jackson, but also introduces many popular newcomers, and the company's profits have skyrocketed. Warner only began to regret it at this time, but it was after this teaching that Warner began to pay attention to Lin Mu.

Jossilva's original plan was for the Wachowski brothers to go to Lin Mu, who was sure that Lin Mu would definitely like the script, and then offered Paramount to Warner to buy the rights. If someone else made such a request, Warner's senior management would definitely not hesitate to throw off the bag, just like when they sold their record company. But if Lin Mu wants to buy this movie, the situation is different, and Warner's top management will hesitate. Lin Mu will not watch a film for no reason, so will this film be an undiscovered potential stock like Warner Records. With such doubts, Joe Silvo was confident that he would convince them to continue investing in the film.

The more Qiao Yisylvo thought about it, the more wrong it became, and just when he began to doubt the identity of this New York studio, Warner had already sold the film to the so-called New York studioman for more than 10,000 dollars.

By the time Jossilvo faintly saw the clue and realized that something was wrong. It's too late. He pushed open the door of the negotiation room, only to see Warner's representatives exchanging contracts with the New York studio, expressing a happy handshake. Once such a copyright transfer contract is signed, Warner does not even have a chance to breach the contract.

Joe Sylvo didn't immediately tell anyone about his judgment, hoping that it was just wishful thinking, and perhaps the producer who took the rights to "The Matrix" was just an accident, and his appearance had nothing to do with Paramount.

But then the news shattered his last illusions. The producer sold the rights to "The Matrix" to Paramount Pictures, Warner's old rival, for $10,000 the next day.

In this way, the investors of "The Matrix" changed from Warner to Paramount in such a farce, although they knew that Lin Mu must be behind the scenes, Warner wanted to accuse Paramount of this "dishonorable" behavior, but they could not find any evidence. And from the very beginning. Warners lost the trust of the Wachowski brothers, and they undoubtedly chose to go over to Paramount's side. The director's standing exercise also determines the attitude of the entire crew, so in the reversal of media public opinion, Paramount has always had the upper hand. But even if these two companies quarrel fiercely in the media, it is impossible to really tear their faces in the end, which is the rule of the game in Hollywood.

After successfully obtaining the copyright of "The Matrix", Lin Mu finally had time to sit with the film's directors, the Wachowski brothers, and seriously discuss some details about the film. The film's cast also made some adjustments after the change of investors, and the heroine of the film, Kylie Ann Moss, was unable to continue starring in the film due to a sprained ankle during filming. Fortunately, only a small part of the film was filmed, and the replacement of the heroine did not have much impact on the filming of the film.

The actor is still Keanu Reeves, and if Warner got one thing right in the film "The Matrix", it is undoubtedly that they chose Keanu Reeves in the end. In fact, at the beginning, Johnny Depuworth was the choice of the Shawsky brothers to play the county protagonist Neo, but Warner wanted Brad Pitt or Val Kilmer to play Neo, but both refused to play, and finally Warner Bros. chose the latter between Johnny Depp and Keanu Levi.

After the two sides exchanged their opinions on the cast selection, Lin Mu promised to find a suitable actress for the film as soon as possible, and then their topic returned to the script. Lin Mu had always had a keen interest in the Wachowski brothers creating such a script, so he asked this question when discussing the opportunity to write the script.

"We started with a hypothesis. It is that every business and every part of every human body today is created by the electronic world. Throughout history, there have been people who have made unremitting efforts to find the profound meaning of life, and have made amazing discoveries. In this story. We focus on a small group of people who ask questions and get surprising answers. We want to make their discovery the beginning of a story. Rather than the ending, we're interested in how they responded to the Wachowski brothers, who explained their original intentions.

"And how did you set up the (matrix) in the play?" Lin Mu then came up with some concepts in the script that puzzled him.

"The original meaning of matrix is the child/palace, the mother, the place where life is conceived, and at the same time, in mathematical terms, matrix is used to represent various related data such as statistics. This definition is a good explanation of the mathematical logic of the world of code making. In the movie, it's just a virtual program, but also a place where it actually exists. Here, the human body is placed in a vessel filled with nutrient solution, and the body is plugged in with various plugs to receive sensory stimulation signals from the computer system. Human beings rely on these signals and live in a completely virtual computer illusion. In this way, machines occupy the space of the human mind, using the human body as a battery to keep themselves running. In the script, it is a complex set of simulation system programs. It was built by a machine with artificial intelligence that simulates the previous world of humans in order to control them. Andy Wachowski explained.

"It's essentially a huge network that connects the consciousness of countless people, and the system assigns them different roles, just like a role-playing game in a computer game, except that they don't have the right and consciousness to choose a role.

Humans sustain their own survival needs through this networked virtual life, but the intelligent program in it is in the role of prophet. It is found that there are people in the system who are self-conscious and can be compatible with the roles assigned by the system, and if they are not controlled, it will lead to the instability of the system, which will lead to the collapse of the system. Therefore, the intelligent program written, that is, the architect, creates a "savior" that gives him a partial sense of autonomy. and became the leader of the awakened humanity and led them to the building of Zion. His brother Larry Wachowski added his claim.

"What does Zion represent in the script?" Lin Mu continued to use the explanations of the two authors to supplement his lack of knowledge of The Matrix.

The word Zion in the Bible refers to the mountain on which King Solomon built the temple, located in the holy city of Jerusalem. And in Judaism, "Zion." It represents the glory of God and is a sign of God's redemption. When the earth is destroyed. Humanity will be judged in Zion. In the script, "Zion. It refers to the homeland inhabited by those humans who have been liberated from Belgium. Located deep in the earth, relying on geothermal energy as an energy source, it has become the last base of mankind for combustion and machine cities. We use this name to name the last home of mankind, symbolizing that this is the place where the right head is revealed. Andy Wachowski explains the origin of their name for the human base.
