Chapter 388 Five action scenes in "The Matrix II"

On the overpass.

Chen Jingxing, who was wearing a safety helmet and did not hold an umbrella, was already sweating after walking under the scorching sun for more than ten minutes.

The summer movie market frenzy created by "Spike II" has come to an end. Although the movie is still being released, the box office has become increasingly thin.

Times have changed. There may be movies in the world that can last for several months or even more than half a year, but "Wolf Fang II" is obviously not it.

This phenomenal movie has already received a cumulative box office of close to 4.3 billion. Judging from the current box office trend, there is no room to continue to create miracles. DreamWorks has no intention to continue to postpone the key. The National Day "Spike"

Ⅱ》will be officially launched on streaming media.

The movie channel seems to have tasted the sweetness of last year's special National Day screening of domestically produced movies, so this year there will also be a National Day film exhibition. "Spike II" will be the opening movie, competing with the National Day party for ratings. Who made us the sixth princess? Even if

CCTV doesn’t care about anything.

The summer vacation has come to an end, but the scorching heat has not left with the ending of "Wolf Fang II".

The beginning of autumn has passed early, and the end of summer has arrived, but the "end of summer" has not come out. The temperature in the north, especially in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, has even reached a higher level than the severe heat.

The fierceness of the autumn tiger also caused continuous delays in the original construction period.

The man in black can infect programs, and naturally he can also infect creatures in the sea. The animals in the matrix are also programs, including giant whales, crazy sharks, and schools of fish.

The fourth battle scene is the journey to the "source code" after rescuing the locksmith. The passage leading to the source code is equipped with a "firewall". Once the "firewall" is broken through, the hero's savior's ability will also be suppressed. Of course, it will still be

Better than his teammates.

This action scene is a low-level combat scene, including highway racing, pursuit, fighting, collision, and explosion scenes.

Not only the protagonist's martial arts after resurrecting from the dead and becoming the savior, but also the normal awakened ones' martial arts have greatly increased compared to the original version.

Only when paired with exciting audio-visual spectacles can it produce a qualitative change and reap huge box office profits.

Therefore, just like the original version, Chen Jingxing decided to build a real highway for filming, not just a highway, but even an overpass.

Yan Xiaoyue raised her hand and imitated a fan to slap half of her face twice. Her forehead was already sweating. She smiled and said: "It's okay. When I was filming "Yue Nv Sword", I even squeezed through the RV with others. This

The conditions are much better, and we don’t have to live here every day.”

This is a high-level martial arts battle.

All programs, including the code of the "Scavenger" Man in Black, which has developed a hatred of the Matrix, is dissatisfied with the meaning of its existence or "purpose", and wants to be free, contain the code of the savior from generation to generation.

High - low - high - low, the four battles in the matrix are carried out at the correct rhythm, and the two levels of action scenes can be perfectly arranged in the plot without conflict, and there will be no high or low martial arts.

contradiction.

The code of "Da Luo" is essentially the "savior" of the previous generation.

You must know that in "The Martian" Chen Jingxing refused sponsorship, even for dairy products or drinks.

Too much force will make it impossible for the male protagonist to continue "sparring" Chinese Kung Fu with others in the sequel.

The first scene is a battle between the male protagonist and the saint's guardian - "Da Luo".

But the core program still survived under the protection of the saint, or was secretly intercepted, creating the program "Da Luo".

At this time, the man in black is already a super virus not much worse than the male protagonist, and he also has the ability to infect and assimilate humans and programs.

This makes the audiovisual experience of "The Matrix I" completely surpass that of the original version, and is also an important reason why it can get more than 800 million U.S. dollars in global box office - of course, China contributed 476 million U.S. dollars.

Chen Jingxing turned around and walked towards the three-story building built not far away. After hearing this, he replied: "No, the filming schedule is not urgent. There is no need to make the workers work hard."

Of course, since it is not really supposed to function as an expressway, it is actually a fake expressway, but even so, the cost is as high as hundreds of millions.

Chen Jingxing arranged five action scenes in "The Matrix II".

The person in charge of the construction company accompanying Chen Jingxing looked at Chen Jingxing's expression and thought that the big employer was a little dissatisfied with the progress of the construction, and quickly said: "Originally, there are still ten days to complete the project, but if we work harder, it can be shortened to one week."

This will be the last scene shot for "The Matrix II."

The savior of the previous generation chose to save mankind among the two choices given by the Lord God. He dissolved into the matrix, and his code became part of the matrix.

Even if the male protagonist is invincible throughout, he can still create an exciting plot full of dangers.

But this creates obstacles for the second and third parts.

The fourth battle included not only a battle with the guards of the "Firewall", but also a battle with the man in black who also wanted to go to the "Source Code" to find the Lord God through the Firewall. The two had a fierce battle in the "Firewall"

, of course the abilities of both people were greatly suppressed by the "firewall".

In the end, when the man in black found that he could not assimilate the male protagonist and could not trap him, he gave up the fight. The male protagonist was freed and then rushed to the scene of the battle with his teammates at supersonic speed, rescuing the female protagonist and the captain at the critical moment.

Chen Jingxing covered his forehead with his hands and looked at the half-built road ahead from the overpass.

Chen Jingxing walked into a building built next to the highway, looked at the few people who were leaning by the window and looked out and said, "How is it? Although there is no electricity nearby, generators are still ready and the air conditioners are turned on.

, and it is estimated that the temperature will not be so high in another half month."

The person in charge of the construction nodded in agreement. Looking at Chen Jingxing's back, he admired in his heart. Not to mention his ignorance, he had never seen such a heroic film and television company.

Even though the action scenes on the highway are not as good as the heroic drama between the hero and the man in black, high-level martial arts scenes can rely on special effects, but this kind of scene is the most difficult to shoot.

The 500 million budget to build roads is only one of the reasons. The leading actors are paid more, the second part has bigger scenes and more action scenes.

It is not impossible to say that some film and television cities have been built for filming, but they can attract tourists and even other film and television projects, and the cost can be recovered slowly.

Because the weather is too hot and the heat is too severe, after DreamWorks requested that the working hours be changed to morning and evening, the number of working hours in the day was reduced. After all, DreamWorks is hailed by the media as the film and television company most likely to reach a market value of 100 billion.

There is really no need to dig into this aspect.

The second and third battle scenes are unfolded at the same time, and the audience will enjoy exciting low-level martial arts action scenes and shocking high-level martial arts action scenes at the same time.

It will also be the one with the largest number of people in any movie filmed by Chen Jingxing.

Therefore, this saint's guardian also possesses some of the power of the savior to a certain extent, and can compete with the protagonist.

The hero couldn't come over in time to help because the third battle was also going on at the same time.

The fifth and final action scene is in the real world.

However, although these hundreds of cars are provided for free by sponsors, the budget of the entire movie is still more than 500 million. Of course, this is a relatively generous budget. Chen Jingxing's own movies often leave more space. This is "

Lessons from Overspending in The Martian.

Chen Jingxing is not good at controlling budgets, which is his fatal weakness as a commercial film director, but who makes him the boss of DreamWorks? For the sake of the continuously rising stocks, even the butler Xu Wenshen has no complaints.

The male protagonist stepped forward, immobilized the electronic squid, caused it to self-destruct, and then fainted.

Actor Bao Shengming, who plays the captain, is quite open-minded: "How else can we invest 500 million? The cost of our movie will be second only to "Gravity", right?"

The most amazing sci-fi concepts and creative ideas are commercial successes like "Fatal Identity" and "The Signal".

There is no doubt that this is a unique high-level martial arts battle, and it is also the highlight of "The Matrix II". Mo's special effects artist also had a headache for this.

How can the hero's high martial arts and the companion's low martial arts coexist organically in one movie?

I definitely want both high martial arts and low martial arts, because high martial arts has the visual wonders of high martial arts, and low martial arts also has the audio-visual charm that high martial arts can't show.

The third battle is between the male protagonist and the resurrected man in black.

Originally, the producers consulted the authorities. As long as DreamWorks paid for it, they could not block the road for Chen Jingxing to film. However, the action scenes in "The Matrix II" would cause great damage to the road, and the damage would be considerable. So,

The only option left is to build the road yourself.

Chen Jingxing knew that the way to shorten the construction period mentioned by the person in charge of the construction party was to increase the working hours, so he politely refused.

The squid robot pursued the spaceship, and the humans escaped from the ship. They escaped from the capture of the electronic squid in the underground tunnel, but were eventually chased by the electronic squid.

This battle takes place by the sea, on the sea, and in the sea.

In the second scene, after the saint gives a way to save Huaxu Kingdom, the captain, the heroine Jiang Xian and other teammates try to rescue the locksmith who can lead to the source of the matrix code.

"The vehicles are all provided by sponsors." Chen Jingxing shook his head when he heard this. As soon as "The Matrix" was released last year, many sponsors came to him, and because there was a road scene in "The Matrix II", Chen Jingxing

This time, I was quite generous and chose a car brand.

Lu Hongzhe, who played the male lead, was still staring out the window at the various cars parked on a large concrete floor and sighed: "Director, your handiwork is really huge. These cars alone are worth tens of millions."

?”

Even though Lu Hongzhe had known the script for a long time and knew that this scene would be shot on a self-constructed road, he would still be shocked when he came here in person. According to the script, hundreds of cars were destroyed in collisions and explosions. Seeing this densely packed scene with your own eyes

The car, and the thought that it would be basically destroyed by one scene, made him a little stunned.

At that time, there will be dozens of cars running on the road together, which will require dozens of special drivers, plus the crew members, which will be a lot of people to eat and drink.

Compared with the original "The Matrix", the biggest change in Chen Jingxing's "The Matrix" is actually the change in the force value.

There are not many fatalities in the Chinese film and television industry when filming, and even more accidents happen when setting up scenes and buildings. Chen Jingxing, who loves feathers, is cautious in this regard, so DreamWorks also keeps a close eye on these outsourced tasks.

.

Chen Jingxing still used this road action scene in the original version. This scene is indeed a classic. All Chen Jingxing had to do was to make it more exciting and shocking.

Building such a section of highway and overpass on this wasteland will have to be blasted and demolished in the future, but there is no way to recycle the waste. Tourists will not come to this wilderness to appreciate this section of highway. It is more than ten kilometers away from the new city.

Whether the city will one day be able to develop here is another question.

This building is specially designed to store equipment and also for the crew and actors to rest during filming. After all, it is far from the city and it is not a movie studio. An RV cannot provide enough rest space.

Of course, if you don't build in the wilderness, the cost of using the land alone will be quite high. After all, the land close to the city is either agricultural land or industrial land in the city, residential land or commercial land. How can you just let it happen?

There's a lot of construction going on up there.

This will also be the biggest suspense left in the second part.

Because there are dialogues between the saint and the male protagonist, and the main god and the male protagonist, the amount of information in "The Matrix II" is not much less than that in the first part.

And because there are these five action scenes, the audio-visual spectacle of the second part will definitely exceed that of the first part, and the level of tension and excitement will be even higher.
