China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 389 A movie that touches people with emotion

With the five action scenes in the second part of "The Matrix" and the introduction of the Huaxu Kingdom in the first half, the plot is even richer than the first part. In the CG preview, it is still close to two and a half hours long.

It may not have the ground-breaking shock that the first film gave the audience, but it will definitely make the audience enjoy it.

However, in this way, the audio-visual spectacle that was once again enhanced in the second part created obstacles for the third part.

After all, a trilogy like "The Matrix" must follow the principle that one film is bigger than the other, and one film has more spectacles than the other.

This was the case with the original "The Matrix."

The final battle in "Dark III" is more grand than the battle scene between Neo and Smith in "Dark II", with the fight from the ground to the sky, destroying buildings and cities.

But in "The Matrix", the second part basically reached this level.

Moreover, the battle between the male protagonist and the man in black in the sea will only be bigger and more shocking than the scene in "Black III".

This battle will take place from the seashore to the surface, then to the air, and finally into the sea, and then to the bottom of the sea.

Chen Jingxing adhered to his duty as a mascot, listened to Tian Xinye's explanation with a smile on his face, and nodded secretly, it was not just international, it was basically interstellar.

The three words internationalization are basically synonymous with bad movies in the film field.

Therefore, in an interview, faced with the reporter's cunning questions, Lu Hongzhe still did not hold back and revealed that he had two fight scenes with the resurrected man in black.

The mockumentary style is one of the main labels of "District 9", and he does not think that removing the mockumentary shooting format will affect the quality of the film.

Looking at the two Chinese actors and a bunch of Hollywood actors on the stage, the domestic media had mixed emotions. They had never seen this scene before, and they couldn't even imagine what kind of movie this was.

The Chinese media has also paid attention, even though the reputation of co-productions in China has basically been ruined.

Although it was not critical information, Chen Jingxing also warned him.

Even the Hollywood media sent reporters to report on it.

In his opinion, "District 9" is indeed a movie that moves people with emotion. It is a great depressing film. It is not a blockbuster with special effects, nor does it have audio-visual spectacles, nor does it have any brain-burning high concepts.

Anyway, I’m not planning to film “The Matrix IV”, so why not give the audience as many big scenes as possible that can be played and filmed.

Of course, even the leading actors did not get the script of the third part. They only had the script of the second part. The script of the "Matrix" project enjoys the highest level of confidentiality. After all, it relies on pitfalls and mysteries.

The audience’s appetite.

After all, it is the first joint production and co-production between Universal and DreamWorks, so it has a lot of momentum.

The reporter seemed to want to seek more confidence from Chen Jingxing: "Director Chen, will "District 9" be a special effects blockbuster that resists invasion like "The Great Wall", or will it be an action movie with science fiction creativity as its selling point like "Edge of Tomorrow""

Woolen cloth?"

Now that it has reached this level, it is not an exaggeration to hit the earth.

"Are the conversations between characters in the movie in Chinese or English?" a reporter asked.

Tian Xinye held the microphone and said without changing his expression: "Mainly English."

After much deliberation, the United Nations is the most suitable. The UN organization has staff from various countries and races, and this international background is perfectly consistent with the theme of "District 9". It is really a perfect fit.

And among the actors in "District 9" there are also some well-known actors in Hollywood.

After Chen Jingxing took the main creative staff to visit the highway that was about to be completed, he returned to the capital, and the entire "Matrix II" crew was once again idle.

This kind of battle is already at the level of a natural disaster.

It's not that he hasn't thought about localizing "District 9", but the main villain of this movie is actually a human being, or the agency that manages District 9. On the surface, it is about the tragic experience of aliens, but in reality

What is satirically criticized is segregationism and racial prejudice.

If an actor accidentally leaks the script of the second part, DreamWorks can still accept the loss. The third part is a filling in the entire story. All the clues will be revealed in the third part. If it is leaked, Chen Jingxing is afraid

It means vomiting blood.

In the movie, Zhang Yi is the male protagonist, and Wan Qian plays his colleague and girlfriend. She is the heroine in name, but in fact she does not have many roles. The protagonists of this movie are a human male protagonist and an alien male.

Lord, but of course the media doesn’t know the plot.

Lu Hongzhe chuckled weakly as Yan Xiaoyue and others suppressed their laughter: "I was taken into the circle by someone, right?"

However, for Chen Jingxing, internationalization is considered an advantage of this film, but for the media, it is completely the opposite.

The audience's threshold for audio-visual spectacles will inevitably increase accordingly, and the spectacle of the final battle will definitely surpass any battle in the first two parts.

But Chen Jingxing did not take any time off. First of all, he attended the press conference of "District 9" held in Beijing.

It's also about fighting monsters - although "District 9" is about aliens, in the eyes of the media present, there is no essential difference between aliens and monsters.

In this way, the decisive battle in the third part will directly rise to the level of star destruction.

Therefore, Chen Jingxing raised the final battle of "The Matrix III" to another level. Since hitting the sky is not enough, he will hit it in space and on the moon.

Universal has many cooperation projects in other countries, but DreamWorks is of course different. It is also well-known in Hollywood. When American media mentions film companies other than Hollywood, DreamWorks is the first thing that comes to mind.

So if the final battle in the third part is just moved to the city in the second part, it will definitely not be enough.

Only the two names Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks can give them confidence, which is also the role of Chen Jingxing's attendance at the press conference.

There are actually quite a few viewers who feel nauseated by the shaky camera, especially on the big screen, which magnifies this feeling.

In the story of "The Matrix", the moon also symbolizes the main god, or the real source code is here. The male protagonist and the man in black fought on the moon and broke it into pieces, and then died together. It was logical to complete the Matrix revolution.

The reporters in the audience were a little surprised, good guys, this doesn't even count as a Chinese-language movie?

"The background of this movie is set in South Africa, and the male and female protagonists are United Nations staff, so it is a relatively international story..."

Except for the road scene, all other scenes of "The Matrix II" have been filmed. Several action scenes were shot in the studio. In particular, the male protagonist's fight scenes required a lot of special effects to complete. In fact, if it weren't for the ink schedule,

It has been filled, and "The Matrix II" is completely ready to start post-production.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingxing looked sideways at Lu Hongzhe: "You should be more vigilant next time you face reporters."

There are even alien languages.

Just hitting it from the ground to the air, and then from the air to the ground will not work.

After the press conference that made reporters increasingly feel that the future of this international film was not good, Chen Jingxing went to DreamWorks' holding subsidiary - Mo.

Moreover, "The Great Wall" has fewer foreign actors than "District 9".

After all, "The Matrix" dug a lot of holes. Although it has only been a year, there are already a lot of articles about in-depth interpretations and divergent bold speculations about this movie. Netizens are happy to dig out the deep meaning and meaning behind this movie.

The subsequent development of the story.

Whether it is a Chinese-American co-production, a Chinese film adding foreign actors, or a Hollywood film using Chinese actors to please the Chinese market, it is often the result of inferiority.

Either it is designed to be the official responsibility of another country, or the United Nations is the only one taking the blame.

If we can dig out any clues about "The Matrix II", this article will definitely not worry about traffic.

Because of the confidentiality order issued by the crew from top to bottom, the media has become more interested in exploring the ongoing filming of "The Matrix II". Human psychology is like this. The more you keep it secret, the more curious I become, and there is also the incentive of traffic.

In the story of "The Matrix" itself, at the end, Smith, who is as powerful as the savior, has reached the point where even the designers of the Matrix are helpless and completely loses control.

Of course District 9 cannot be set in Chinatown, and the temperament of Siam is really inconsistent with this movie. It seems unreasonable to have to eliminate two Chinese people in the Siam organization.

If it is designed to be an official film from another country, it will be difficult for Chinese actors to be included, unless the background is set in Siam and studied in "Tang Detective", but that is Chinatown, and the Chinese police are reasonable.

Because the last co-production film was "The Great Wall" released at the end of last year.

Therefore, Chen Jingxing abandoned the pseudo-documentary style of the original version and adopted a normal movie shooting method to make it closer to the mainstream.

We are also cooperating with Universal.

The concept, narrative and appeal of this film are all excellent. There is no need to reject some audiences because of this, and it also lowers the film's box office ceiling in a disguised way. The sense of reality is not something that can only be created in the form of a pseudo-documentary.

However, the melancholy aspect is not only the strength of this movie, but also the limitation of its box office.

Just compare it to "Edge of Tomorrow", but what does it mean to compare it to "The Great Wall"? Insinuating that this is the second "The Great Wall"?

Chen Jingxing took the microphone handed over by the host while murmuring in his heart. He thought for a while and said: ""District 9" is a special movie. It is not in the same genre as "The Great Wall" and "Tomorrow". If I have to sum it up,

If so, I would rather say it is a movie that touches people with emotion."

That's why the designer accused the prophet of "you're playing a dangerous game."

In addition to watching the completed sci-fi animated series "Special Forces", this trip was just to appease the somewhat depressed mood of the computer animation department.

"Aquila Warrior", regarded as a science fiction masterpiece by Mo and many people within DreamWorks, did not arouse the enthusiasm and response that some people expected.

Of course, it’s not that it’s not unpopular. Compared with other animation works in China, it can be regarded as the most out-of-the-box animation. The Douban score has also reached a new high, reaching 9.5 points.

However, when comparing DreamWorks' previous animation works vertically, especially "Battleship", the number of views is far behind. This can't help but make people, especially the members of the project team who produced this work, feel a little frustrated.
