Chapter 386： The Matrix

For this premiere, Ryan completely handed over the initiative to the Weinstein brothers. He didn't even leave the red carpet, and entered the front hall of the theater early.

At the premiere, not only Hollywood celebrities, but also representatives of several ad placement companies, such as Motorola mobile phones, Apple computers, and Ray-Ban glasses.

In addition, there are people from General Motors, and all car brands under General Motors are used in the movie.

Unlike the previous Warner Bros. looking for sponsorships, after Jenkins Pictures released the news, many brands took the initiative to find them, and after FedEx and Wilson Sports Equipment were released in They gained great confidence and enthusiasm.

Although Ryan is not in the movie, the heroine is his only family. Will Ryan Jenkins give the failed work to Nicole Kidman?

The first film of "The Matrix" has not yet been released. The advertising revenue alone has recovered more than half of the production costs. As long as the first film can be a big success, these brands still want to appear in the next two films. Pay more money.

These are the big customers who will pay in the future. The Weinstein brothers entered the theater early, chatting and laughing with them, and Ryan continued to greet the people who entered the theater. It was not until a long time later that Nicole took part in the movie. Keanu Reeves, his partner, walked in.

"Keanu, thank you for your motorcycle." Ryan greeted him. The Neo's actor, with a thick beard, waved to him, "You're welcome."

Just after the post-production of the film, Keanu Reeves used part of the salary he had already received to buy a heavy-duty Harley Prince motorcycle for the main members of the crew, including him and Nicole.

Many people cannot understand the life and way of thinking of this Hollywood star. Of course, most Hollywood stars have quirks, and he is not the most prominent one.

"Keanu's sister got leukemia, and he donated a large sum of money to related medical institutions."

Ryan and the two walked to the other side, because Nicole knew him better after filming together for a full year. "His girlfriend is said to be pregnant and is still taking drugs."

"This is Keanu's private matter." Ryan reminded.

As far as he knows, the former Keanu Reeves was also a drug addict. It was not until his friend Revan Phoenix died of an overdose that he gradually quit the drug addiction.

"Here. I'll introduce a friend to you."

Nicole pulled him, and the two walked up to a middle-aged actor, "Hi, Russell."

"Hello, Nicole. Hello, Ryan."

The other party stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "Russell Crowe, like Nicole, is from Australia."

"It's nice to meet you. Russell." Ryan shook his hand, knowing that this must be a member of the Australian Gang.

In front of Ryan, Russell Crowe was not rumored to be arrogant, but rather humble. Because Nicole is one of the leaders of the Australian gang, Ryan is also very polite to him.

The current time and place can only be said hello, because people keep walking in front of Ryan and Nicole. There are not a few people who even recommend themselves by talking about topics that are not nutritious.

"Why do you remember to introduce him to me?" Ryan said of course Russell Crowe.

"I recommended him to Nancy. If nothing else, Russell will be the actor of "Men 100%"." Nicole laughed and lowered her voice, "In order to avoid you being jealous in the future, let me introduce him to you first. ."

"Am I so stingy?" Ryan also lowered his voice.

"Narrow-minded, conservative-minded, over-possessive, and machismo." Nicole listed his crimes one by one, "Shall I tell them all?"

"It looks like I'm useless." Ryan laughed at himself and asked, "Are you going to start working again?"

"Hmm... I promised Nancy to be the heroine of "Man Hundred Percent"." She concealedly poked Ryan in the chest, "This is your script, macho."

Nicole's character is not suitable for ordinary life at all. Ryan knows this very well and didn't say much, as long as she is happy anyway.

In fact, Nancy Meyers originally decided that the male protagonist was Mel Gibson, but Ryan rejected it. His head was not sober, and God knew when he would be muddled. It would not take a few years. He will become a public enemy of Hollywood, and in the end, he can only make a b-level movie. Jenkins Pictures still has less trouble with him.

As for Russell Crowe, although this movie is not as good as "Gladiator", how can it hold him in the forefront? There is also the "Beautiful Mind", which seems to be about a certain professor at Princeton University, what is it called? He can't remember the name, he can find someone to look it up, maybe he can bring another actor out.

"Hey, Ryan, what are you thinking about?"

Leonardo DiCaprio’s voice pulled Ryan’s thoughts back. He looked around. Nicole was no longer there. He was probably going to a party. He immediately took a photo of Leonardo’s arm. , Asked, "Where is your new girlfriend?"

"Follow Nicole to socialize." He pointed his finger casually, and the two tall women were very conspicuous.

"Didn't you go out on location?" Ryan remembers, Baige? The filming of "Mission Impossible 2" directed by Wu has already begun.

"Nicole sent me an invitation, can't you stop coming?" Leonardo scratched his eyebrows. "By the way, come back for an audition."

"Audition?" Ryan asked cooperatively, "Which movie?"

"Ridley Scott." Leonardo laughed. "Your "Gladiator," Ryan, maybe we will be playing an opponent next year."

"You?" Ryan deliberately hammered his slightly thin chest. "You are too thin."

However, he frowned and thought about it, and said, "Well, Leon, as long as you can impress Ridley, it's not a problem with me."

If this guy plays well, he might be nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Even if he doesn't play well, it won't have much impact on him.

As for Joaquin Phoenix, he has no friendship with him.

Just like "The Lord of the Rings", the preparation of epic films is very troublesome. Ridley Scott signed the director contract. After the start-up funds of Jenkins Pictures arrived, he first determined the location. He originally wanted Shooting in the city of Rome, but was rejected by the city government of Rome, had to choose the location near London.

Actors must also be recruited in advance, because they have to train in swordsmanship and riding skills for several months.

Ryan didn’t expect Leonardo to be interested in this movie. Probably, every time he starred in a movie, he would be nominated for several Oscars. It seems that after Xiao Li became a first-line superstar, he has more honors. Many pursuits.

"Leon's girlfriend is a smart man." Nicole whispered as he walked towards the theater. "I promised to get her a role in "Men 100%."

"It's fine for you to handle this kind of thing." It doesn't hurt to include a **** and beautiful female model in a commercial movie.

"The Matrix", the past life is considered to be a science fiction film rich in philosophy, and even every line, every scene is analyzed, and then we come to strange conclusions, some may even break the head of the Wachowski brothers. Have no idea.

It is undeniable that this movie does have a lot of metaphors, and some lines seem to contain philosophies, but in the eyes of Ryan, this is a cool, interesting and profitable movie.

In order to increase the refreshingness of the movie, when he was writing the script, he removed some ridiculous things, especially some of the latter two metaphors, like the kind of constant assumptions and constant self-overturning. Once the audience It will feel very novel, but the more times it will only make people feel bored.

This movie highlights the coolness, the costumes of the actors, various props, virtual fights, Motorola flip phones, Ray-Ban sunglasses, all of which show the meaning of the word ‘cool’.

Of course, looking at it from another perspective, it is also a master of the installation of '13' movies.

"Cool!"

"Awesome!"

Such vocabulary is constantly uploaded from the position of the audience in the back row.

"My dear, you are so sexy." Ryan's eyes fell almost all on the heroine, and he whispered in Nicole's ear, "Can you show it to me when you go back at night?"

"I want to go home in the evening and go back to my own home." Nicole directly pushed him back.

"It's so disappointing." Ryan couldn't help but shook his head.

"Today is the premiere. If you want to be caught by paparazzi, I have no opinion."

Nicole's words undoubtedly hit Ryan's vitals, he closed his mouth obediently, and his energy returned to the big screen.

The movie has come to the coolest and most **** place-bullet timeThe word'cool' has been used by the audience in the back row many times, and many people have almost never closed their open mouths. , This movie really caught a lot of people, especially young people’s itches.

As for the bullet time, this is not the original "The Matrix". Similar shots appeared in some movies in the 1980s, but there is no doubt that "The Matrix" thoroughly carried forward this film technology. In the future, many movies will definitely learn from it until it is used up badly.

Hollywood will follow suit. The wonderful films it produces are based on a huge number of bad films.

Then there is Kung Fu. No matter what kind of evaluation the action of this film will receive, after it, Kung Fu is bound to set off a new round of upsurge in Hollywood. Although there are many movies that use Kung Fu to benefit from it, this The stock trend lasted too short.

Of course, because the trilogy was shot at the same time, there was enough suspense at the end of the movie, such as what is the mother body? There is also Zion, which is frequently mentioned by Morpheus and others. Where is this place, which is obviously the last place for mankind? (To be continued...)
