China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 535 "Manslaughter" is about to end early

After Chen Jingxing, the producer and the starring actors briefly thanked each other, reporters and fans rushed to ask questions to the film's creators, of course the main target was Chen Jingxing.

"May I ask Director Chen, is the male protagonist Jian Bo finally dead?"

"It depends on how you understand it. If you look at it from another angle, his code and his consciousness exist in every new life, just like the previous five generations of saviors."

"Director Chen, does the end of the movie imply that robots have defeated humans? So "The Matrix" is actually a tragedy?"

Is there any hint? It’s almost made clear, right? Isn’t the Matrix Revolution the realization of the robot completion plan?

Fans around him kept complaining about the reporter's questions.

Chen Jingxing answered very carefully. This question was a bit of a trap. If he admitted it, the reporter would be able to write an article after he went back - "Director Chen Jingxing admits that "The Matrix III" is a tragedy" or "The Tragedy of the "Matrix" Series"

end"

This is indeed a fact, after all, Chen Jingxing’s lunch box is so satisfying.

Of course, the tragic ending of "The Matrix" is a plus for movie fans or critics, but "The Matrix III" is going to be a box office hit, and it's not an ordinary box office hit.

Director Chen, your "Interstellar" has also been filmed. It is said that this will be the last part of the space trilogy. I noticed that your next films are two war films, but as a journalist and a science fiction fan

, I would like to ask if you will create a new science fiction series in the future?"

And Chen Jingxing has accumulated a considerable number of fans through ten movies and other works of DreamWorks.

Movie fans were naturally excited about Chen Jingxing's paintings, but reporters seemed much calmer.

However, although it has been more than a year since "Once Upon a Time on Earth" was announced, I heard that the filming of the TV series has been completed. Although it is not clear when it will be broadcast, the credibility of Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks is still guaranteed.

Coupled with the influence of Hollywood comic book movies, a movie universe was created in a short time, and the series of IPs became a hot spot in the industry. The "Feng Shen" universe is considered to be the third domestic movie after "Tang Detective" and "The Matrix"

universe.

So the Matrix is ​​something that helps artificial intelligence make up for its own shortcomings, and it coincides with the movie "The Matrix III". Did Director Chen refer to the opinions and opinions of the fans when he created "The Matrix III"?"

There was a low noise, not only from reporters, but also from surrounding movie fans.

We cannot learn from Chen Jingxing's "hardcore science fiction". This kind of light science fiction work that incorporates comedy elements is indeed lower risk and more confident.

I believe you as a ghost!

"I often read discussions and comments from movie fans. After all, feedback is very important in film creation. The audience's views and opinions are very important to any creator.

It has been in theaters for 12 days now and has a box office of 700 million, which can be considered a considerable success.

However, announcing the project of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" and saying that he will personally make a movie about this project are two different things.

"The risk is low, but the cost is not small. The budget for the first part is 300 million."

It shouldn't be a mess.

Chen Sicheng clicked his tongue and said: "You have just finished the "Matrix" series and you are eager to open a new pit. Are you really not giving us a way to survive?"

Then I thought I would write a story in which humans and artificial intelligence coexist harmoniously, and can even work together to advance to a higher civilization, so I came up with the story "The Matrix".

Chen Jingxing consoled him: "The comedy market is huge. The cost is low, the risks are small, and the benefits are greater."

Chen Sicheng sighed and shook his head.

For example, there are speculations that it is about prehistoric humans, or even the origin of humans, prehistoric civilization, dinosaurs, etc.

So he still has to try to downplay the tragedy of the movie, which will really dissuade many ordinary viewers.

Yes, for the main gods and saints, their plan to complete the machine civilization has been successful, but if you look at it from another angle, it can also be understood as a plan to complete the human race. The flesh and blood are weak, but the consciousness has soared."

"Director Chen, many fans of the movie have previously raised conjectures about the purpose of the matrix. One of them is that robots lack chaos and disorder. Because of the lack of creativity, civilization has lost the ability to evolve.

As if Jay Chou had just announced the name of his new album, fans have already started guessing the melody and the story of the music video. Some even even made their own songs similar to Jay Chou's style to pay tribute to their idol.

Especially when Wen Zhi'an, a new director, started to direct his first TV series, but there was no follow-up for more than a year, so the public attention that had been lively for a while also disappeared.

I read a lot of Omnic Crisis stories very early on, and I felt that the relationship between robots and humans in traditional science fiction works was too binary. Either I will destroy you, or you will destroy me.

Chen Jingxing took a look at this reporter, which media he was from, and asked the marketing department to block him when he got back.

I said before that this will be a science fiction universe composed of several film and television dramas. The script of the first film has been initially completed and I will be responsible for directing it.

You can’t say that I don’t care about the opinions and opinions of movie fans?

The Q&A between the reporter and Chen Jingxing obviously brought "Once Upon a Time on Earth", a project whose name was only mentioned in words, to the public again through the premiere of "The Matrix III" and returned to the attention of public opinion.

Chen Jingxing couldn't help but hesitate, "You invested 300 million in a children's film? How about money laundering?"

Of course, he also knew that Chen Sicheng's film production costs were quite high, at least 20 to 30% less, but that was still impressive.

"Thank you." Chen Jingxing and several of the main creators all smiled. He picked up the microphone and said: "I do have a new science fiction series coming next. I think everyone knows that it is the TV series "Once Upon a Time on Earth" directed by Wen Zhi'an.

But I said before the filming of the first part of "The Matrix" that this would be a trilogy. The scripts of the three movies were completely created together and were not modified during the filming of the second and third parts. script,."

"Isn't your outer space trilogy also approved? The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother."

Chen Jingxing's remarks really frightened the reporter who asked the question, but some movie fans present actually rolled their eyes.

This kind of hype that is mentioned from time to time is very common. For example, the "Fengshen" trilogy, led by Penguin Pictures and jointly developed by United Cinemas and Jangho Entertainment, has been producing something every few months since the second half of 2017. Volume and heat.

His ambition is to create a cute family comedy series similar to "Yangtze River No. 7". It may be that the fusion of comedy and detective work in "Tang Detective" has made him more confident in his sense of smell. He feels that such a science fiction-themed family Comedy has great commercial potential.

"Okay, this scene is worth watching. It seems that "Manslaughter" is no longer available."

In 2016, Chen Jingxing even created the "Matrix" trilogy, which was a huge success during the National Day release that year.

However, Chen Jingxing's words comforted Chen Sicheng to a certain extent.

The excitement among movie fans at the time was no less than that of "Once Upon a Time on Earth", or even much higher. After all, "Fengshen" is our country's traditional treasure trove of mythological resources. Who doesn't want us to make our own mythological stories like "The Lord of the Rings"?

What about the epic level?

Moreover, the original background happened to be that Chen Sicheng's "Tang Detective" invested by DreamWorks was released in the summer of 2015. With an investment of 80 million, it achieved a box office of 1 billion and gained a huge reputation. Chen Sicheng talked about creating the "Tang Detective" universe.

Chen Jingxing tried to dispel the tragedy of the film in front of reporters, at least not as a director to convey such a message, but reporters still did not give up the opportunity to make big news.

It's just a pity that the third part of "Tang Detective" by our predecessors has been released, and the final chapter of "The Matrix" has also premiered. In the past two years, the universe of "Fengshen" has not had anything except a few concept posters and a few final makeup photos.

Nothing real has landed.

From the background, "Once Upon a Time on Earth" will be a bigger story than "The Matrix". You can see some clues from the name. The number of movies currently tentatively planned will exceed "The Matrix". I can't say that it will definitely happen.

More than the "Matrix" series, but I will continue to do my best to create interesting science fiction stories for my fans and audiences at home and abroad."

He is currently filming one of the units of the tribute film "My Youth and Me". Today he specially took time to participate in "The Matrix III" because he wanted to see how the final chapter of the series would turn out.

Among them, speculation about prehistoric civilization is more popular.

Human beings used robots as tools to try to solve their own problems and finally reached the cooperation and integration of humans and artificial intelligence, realizing the coexistence of the two. I think this is a win-win situation. The robots won, and humans also won.

"Manslaughter" itself was scheduled to be released in mid-December, but after hearing that Chen Jingxing was planning to put "The Matrix III" on the Christmas schedule, it was released ahead of schedule.

Chen Jingxing looked doubtful: "How could it be a tragedy? In the background of "The Matrix", humans have long been wiped out by robots? "The Matrix" actually depicts the process of human rebirth and even evolution.

After dealing with reporters and fans for a while, and handing over the booth to starring actors such as Lu Hongzhe, Yan Xiaoyue and Bao Shengming, Chen Jingxing returned to the stage.

"My comedy is a family science fiction comedy at best, but it can't be compared with your science fiction universe."

The next reporter sounded a little excited, and seemed to be a movie fan himself: "Director Chen, first of all, congratulations to you and everyone else. This is the perfect finale. The machine civilization completion plan of "The Matrix III" is really shocking.

, and complement the human completion plan of "Aquila Warrior". They are both fascinating science fiction stories that combine imagination, philosophical depth and epic feeling.

After all, the box office of Xingye's "Yangtze River No. 7" was also ranked fourth in the domestic box office list that year.

Fans of Chen Jingxing's movies around him glared angrily at the reporter who asked the question. This question indeed sounds a bit strange and is not offensive at all, but if the answer is not good, then the reporter will have too many angles to write articles from, and indeed

It’s hard to answer.

"Once Upon a Time on Earth" is a project that Chen Jingxing revealed last year. At that time, it triggered a wave of public opinion. Many die-hard fans can make various interpretations of the four words "Once Upon a Time on Earth" and have various opinions on the story.

guess.

And because of its good reputation - objectively speaking, the version of "Manslaughter" invested by Chen Sicheng is the best version of this story among all remakes, including Tianzhu's own remakes.

The future "Manslaughter II" will be another matter. Not only is it trying to sell itself to someone else, but its remake is also a failure.

Therefore, the box office curve is also relatively strong and is expected to hit 1 billion.

The movie quality of "Matrix III" obviously shattered Chen Sicheng's last bit of luck, and "Manslaughter" will end early.
