China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 350 Movie Fans’ Awareness

Dorian walked out of the movie theater and bathed in the sunshine outside. He felt like he was waking up from a dream, as if he had been in a cave for a long time, walked out of the cave for the first time, and saw the long-lost sun and the human world.

.

Of course, objectively speaking, this movie is indeed very long. He has not watched a movie longer than two and a half hours in a long time.

And as a professional film critic, he doesn't like movies that are too long. He believes that movies that are too long will destroy the continuity of the viewing experience due to people's biological clocks. It is usually difficult for people to concentrate on one thing for a long time.

.

But "The Matrix" is like the rabbit hole that Alice jumped into. There is a wonderful magic that suspends a person's biological clock, even allowing his spirit to temporarily break away from the shackles of the body, and plunge into that magical place without looking back.

in the world.

After all the Easter eggs were over, I returned to my body. Physically, I felt like I couldn't understand the passage of time at all, and mentally, I felt like I was in another world.

Dorian was almost the last group of viewers to walk out of the theater. Most of the others who came out were reminded by the staff. Out of professional habit, he fell into analyzing the movie as a whole after the movie ended, especially

A movie with such a huge amount of information made him overwhelmed with inspiration.

"Listen to me, I'm really not lying to you. This movie is really, I can only use one word to describe it, amazing! You really should come and see it..."

"Did he finally become Superman?"

"What is the purpose of the Matrix?"

If George Lucas demonstrated the power of science fiction, then Chen Jingxing broadened the boundaries of science fiction while empowering it, enough to be called a master of world cinema.

Although he can't control the release, he can still do his best to contribute to the promotion of the movie. Such a classic work that in Dorian's opinion can be recorded in the history of science fiction movies, if more people can't come to

It would be a pity to admire him.

Seeing her boyfriend's proud expression, He Ying rolled her eyes: "It's a shame that you keep saying that I'm obsessed with Korean boy bands. You're not that far behind in terms of fandom."

Thinking of this, Dorian returned to the ticket window and prepared to buy a ticket to watch "The Matrix" again. In addition to driving such a long distance and naturally having to watch it all in one sitting, the main reason was that he wanted to watch the movie for the second time to make him appreciate the movie.

Grasp the movie more clearly, and then write the review as soon as possible.

And "The Matrix" did not live up to his expectations, or in other words, it completely exceeded his expectations.

As soon as Wang Zhen saw that his girlfriend had no objection, he immediately began to recommend other DreamWorks movies that he had always liked but his girlfriend had never bought into.

"It's so exciting, why don't we do it again!"

The hero's face struggled to emerge from the culture medium, and the scene she saw while looking around seemed to still stay on her retinas.

If it were another movie, Dorian might guess that the subject matter or content was not commercial enough, the distributor was not confident, and the positioning was not high. However, the popularity of "The Matrix" in China and East Asia has been quite high these days.

"..."

It's really unimaginable, considering that "Gravity" set a box office record for a foreign film in North America. It's no exaggeration to say that "Gravity" has a box office of US$200 million and is a hit in the United States.

As always, he would go to the theater to watch every movie made by Chen Jingxing immediately.

Someone was able to communicate with him about a movie he liked, and Wang Zhen also opened up the conversation and talked endlessly about his understanding of the movie.

Chen Jingxing is already comparable to George Lucas in Dorian's mind, and this Chinese director is much more versatile than Lucas.

As a well-known film critic, he usually doesn't need to spend money to watch movies. Hollywood film studios still attach great importance to the media and film critics.

However, He Ying still didn't refute it. Although she had never been interested in superhero movies, action movies, or science fiction movies, maybe she just hadn't encountered a movie that piqued her interest.

Dorian can still hear the praise and discussion about the movie around him. There is no doubt that although this is the first time in a long time that he has spent his own money to watch a movie, he has to admit that the movie ticket today cost more than

Quite worth it.

…

However, "The Matrix" is indeed a special case. The rapid and low-key release of this film exceeded his expectations. Fortunately, he is the author of the Boulder Weekly International Film Series Reporting Column. Foreign films themselves are his key focus genre, and Chen Jingxing is a

The director is one of the foreign filmmakers he pays most attention to.

One is to draw the brain into the movie world through audio-visual and immerse it, and the other is to play with concepts and let the brain fall into it with the five senses through narrative.

Not to mention the movie fan who invited a group of classmates to the theater just to support as much as possible the first film released in North America by a young Chinese director.

"Let's watch "Your Name" after we go home. Haven't you always said that you are not interested in cartoons? Let me tell you that this movie is certainly not comparable to "The Matrix", but it is definitely one of the best science fiction movies.

Although the work is not directed by Chen Jingxing, the story is in Chen Jingxing's style, and there is also an element of love. You will definitely like to read it..."

It was unbelievable to him that the next film by the same director was so "deserted" and low-key. There must have been a distribution problem.

He is no longer the junior international student who used the internet and social media platforms to comment on the brain-burning science fiction film "Comet" shot by a director from his home country three years ago.

Perhaps many Americans will not notice this, and not many Americans will pay attention to fashionable topics about Asians, but Dorian's main focus in film reviews is foreign films, and he is looking forward to "The Matrix".

On the west coast, on the road to Los Angeles.

Although "The Matrix" combines elements such as action, science fiction, and fighting and killing that she is not interested in, it gave her the ultimate shock for the first time, not only emotionally, but also in her brain.

It's not just that he has obtained a bachelor's degree, is studying for a PhD, has a girlfriend, and has become more mature.

That's why he didn't miss the low-key release of "The Matrix" and drove dozens of kilometers to Denver to watch the movie - there was no theater showing the movie in Boulder!

"Why does the saint say he is not the savior? And is the little boy at the end the main god?..." Not only is He Ying not bored, she also has a lot of questions to discuss with her boyfriend. Who can make her boyfriend a loyal fan of the director? She will definitely be able to

Let’s understand the movie.

Since "Comet", he has put Chen Jingxing on his tracking list, and with the release of "Fatal Identity" and "The Signal", Dorian has included Chen Jingxing among the directors to pay attention to every day.

He will be the first to preview new films and even other films and TV series produced by DreamWorks.

Such a master does not need recognition from awards.

"It's so cool! The plot is so cool, the Chinese kung fu is so shocking, the action design is so awesome, and the explosiveness and impact are very strong. It's different from previous kung fu movies and martial arts movies!"

Whether it was the fatigue of the carriage or the ticket price of the movie, everything turned into endless satisfaction at this moment, making Dorian excited and filled with indescribable excitement.

While driving, Wang Zhen chattered endlessly with his girlfriend He Ying about the shock that "The Matrix" brought to him.

Of course, the handsome and beautiful actors and the unique and stunning aesthetic style of the movie also impressed her. She never thought that the ascetic black windbreaker and black leather jacket, paired with sunglasses, could also reveal some weird fashion.

And she can definitely get this kind of handsomeness.

He Ying was not bored by her boyfriend's poor vocabulary. She was also deeply shocked by "The Matrix". It was not the action scenes or fighting scenes, but the incredible science fiction creativity and groundbreaking science fiction concepts.

"...Anyway, after I go back, I will show you three trailers of this movie. After watching these three animated short films, you should have a clearer grasp of the movie."

No more worries about driving a long distance to Orlando to see the new film directed by "Comet".

It can even be said that he was the first film critic in Hollywood to pay attention to Chen Jingxing. When "The Night the Comet Came" premiered on Netflix, he was the first to watch it.

The highest achievements of science fiction movies and even commercial movies were easily achieved by one director in one year.

In other words, every day he tracks the latest foreign movies on streaming media like Netflix, as well as video and DVD rental stores. This is his main direction of film criticism.

It is the habit of many men to be good teachers, especially when facing women. Wang Zhen is no exception. After he finished talking to his girlfriend, he said with a triumphant expression on his face: "How is it? I told you

Chen Jingxing is the best and most imaginative science fiction director on the planet, and it’s not too late to become his fan!”

"...Why can the man in black be resurrected?"

It’s incredible that the last film by director Chen Jingxing who made “The Matrix” was “Gravity”!

It's not that "Gravity" is not good-looking or anything, but - these two science fiction classics, which are in tandem, were actually made by the same director!

One is the ultimate in audio-visual experience, and the other is the ultimate in storytelling.

Nor was he an impulsive student who re-translated the text with several classmates and wrote an email to Netflix because he was dissatisfied with the English translation of "Comet" on Netflix.

The main reason is that the director he likes no longer needs him to go around shouting about Amway in recent years, does not need him to invite his classmates and friends to watch movies and contribute box office support, and does not make him worry about whether the next movie will be a flop.

Although Wang Zhen is a loyal fan of Chen Jingxing and can even be said to be a mentally retarded movie fan, his girlfriend He Ying has never had a strong love for Chen Jingxing, including Chen Jingxing's movies, and it cannot be said that she dislikes him. She just has a mediocre viewing experience and has not been influenced by him at all.

and signs of "missionary" influence.

He Ying asked thoughtfully: "Didn't you say that Chen Jingxing is very popular in North America? He is still the foreign director with the highest box office in North America. Why did he feel that "The Matrix" did not have many screenings when he bought the tickets?

There are not many people watching.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhen became very angry: "Humph, didn't Universal give up "The Matrix" because of that mummy? They are blind, and the senior executives of these Hollywood companies are all idlers, but it can't be said that "The Matrix"

The box office of "Gravity" is too high, and some people don't want us Chinese to get too much box office..."

Thinking of this possibility, Wang Zhen became even more angry. Chen Jingxing, the pride of many overseas students or Chinese from the mainland here, is similar to Li An, but Li An is from Baodao after all, and some things are different.

"I am the moderator of the largest discussion forum of 'Science Fiction House'. When I get back, I will mobilize everyone to promote and build momentum on Twitter!" Although Wang Zhen has not fulfilled his fans' "obligation" to promote Amway for a long time, but that is just what he thinks

Chen Jingxing didn't need it, but now he felt it was the turn of movie fans like them to contribute.
