Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Going to Hollywood with Chen Ping were Yuan Heping and his assistant.

Although Chen Ping and Yuan Heping have never cooperated before, after staying in Xiangjiang for such a long time, he naturally knows Yuan Heping.

"Director Yuan, let's get on the plane."

After waiting in the terminal for a while, several people boarded the plane.

"Chen Ping, how are you? Are you familiar with the script?"

"I'm the main villain and I don't have many lines. I'm already familiar with it."

"I mean, the whole Matrix script."

"I think this is a very science fiction film, very innovative, and it breaks our imagination."

"yes."

Although he is a martial arts instructor, Yuan Heping also lamented about the script.

The Matrix is ​​not about computer hackers.

This story is about the war between man and machine.

The story takes place in 2199, or later, but that doesn't matter.

What matters is.

When humans began to invent robots to work for humans, the robots suddenly became intelligent one day.

Or.

At that time, humans invented not just robots, but artificial intelligence, also known as AI.

Robots are no longer satisfied with being controlled by humans. Eventually, after artificial intelligence develops to a certain height, robots control humans.

Moreover, they placed humans in a culture solution and raised them in captivity.

In order not to be discovered by humans in the real world, artificial intelligence invented a network called the matrix.

All human thoughts have entered the matrix.

In the mother's body, humans can live, taste, touch... and everything.

It's like human beings have entered a dream or a virtual world.

Because this world is too real.

It’s so real that almost most people don’t know that this world is actually a virtual world.

It's like we're dreaming.

When we don’t wake up from our dreams, we don’t even know we are dreaming.

certainly.

Robots are not created to make humans live a better life, so they create such a matrix.

Robots use various means to plant humans directly like crops.

This is very possible.

For example, using artificial insemination, the baby is placed in culture fluid as soon as it is born.

Or it can be cloned directly without manual labor.

As for the purpose of putting humans in culture fluid?

Just like humans growing crops and raising animals, it is to obtain the energy needed by the human body.

The same goes for robots.

To function, they also need energy.

Where does the energy come from?

From the human body.

That is to say.

In the eyes of robots, humans are nothing more than a battery or something that provides energy.

So.

As a series of main characters in the play, a few of them discovered that this is a virtual world.

They want to destroy the matrix and re-establish the real world.

"It's really a wonderful setting."

Yuan Heping continued: "However, this is not easy to shoot."

"Yes, not only must the story be told well, but there must also be no logical errors."

The two were chatting about the plot on the plane.

…

The next day, Chen Ping and others came to the Matrix crew.

at this time.

All the main characters from the entire crew have arrived.

Chen Ping also saw the director of The Matrix.

The director of The Matrix is ​​not one person, but two people, one named Lawrence and the other named Andrew.

Because the two are brothers, the media has always called them the Wachowski brothers.

However, for unknown reasons, the two of them turned transgender in their previous lives, and then became the Wachowski sisters.

But fortunately, the two of them are still brothers at this time, and they seem to be normal and have no other special hobbies.

"Hi, Director Yuan, I'm your fan."

"Lawrence, Andrew, thank you for asking me to be the action director."

"You're welcome. We think you are the most powerful action director in the world. Moreover, many plots in our drama are advanced through action."

"I saw it too."

"So... the rest will be left to you. I can say that in addition to us being responsible for the entire plot shooting, you will be responsible for all the action scenes."

"Thanks."

Yuan Heping communicated with the two directors for a while.

Then, Chen Ping is also very welcome to join.

but.

Although The Lord of the Rings greatly increased Chen Ping's fame, the two directors did not view Chen Ping in a different light.

Again.

There are other characters in the cast who are more famous than Chen Ping.

For example, Keanu Reeves, who plays the male lead Neo,

Another example is Bourne, who plays the second male role of Morpheus.

There is also Anne who plays the female lead, Trinis.

Chen Ping has only been popular for a while. These roles are famous in Hollywood.

But Chen Ping didn't think much of it.

He was originally playing the role of the third male lead, and he had only been in Hollywood for a short time, so it was normal for him not to be looked at in a different light.

Moreover, the role of Chen Ping, the third male lead, was not determined by the two directors, but recommended by Yuan Heping.

In fact, the director had another choice for the third male lead.

This candidate is Weaving, who plays the elf lord in The Lord of the Rings.

It’s just that Uygur didn’t have a schedule, and Yuan and Ping also recommended it at the time.

In the end, as fans of Yuan and Ping, the two directors agreed with Chen Ping.

"That's right, two directors, there are a lot of action scenes in our film, so I made a plan, you see..."

Yuan Heping came up with a plan: "In order to better shoot our drama with high quality, I suggest that all the main actors of the crew, that is, the actors involved in the action scenes, undergo half-month action training."

"Half a month, isn't it too long?"

"It is indeed a bit long, but I read the script, and there are a lot of action shots in it. Moreover, according to the settings of the script, many plots use actions to promote the plot. For example, a series of scenes shown by the female lead at the beginning The incredible actions all require training to complete. And finally, the PK between the male lead and the villain, if there is no certain action foundation, this will also affect the filming of the entire film."

The action here drives the plot, which is about a group of main characters living in the matrix of the virtual world.

Their movements, the abilities they display, emerge through knowledge of the rules of the entire matrix.

The more they understand the rules of the matrix and their movements, the stronger their abilities become.

for example.

When you really think that you are the savior, then you can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and you can do anything.

"Although the 15-day training is a bit long, there is a saying in China called the skill of sharpening your sword and chopping firewood without hesitation. I think it is still worth it."

"let me see……"

The two directors thought about it for a while, then nodded: "OK, Director Yuan, just do what you want."

"Thank you two directors."

…

It has to be said that Yuan Heping is one of the famous action directors in Hong Kong.

After he created a training program, the next day he gathered a group of major actors to start training a series of action moves.

"This is our Chinese Tai Chi..."

"This is Wing Chun."

"This is Bagua Quan..."

but.

Yuan and Ping didn't just let a group of actors practice domestic boxing skills.

In order to keep up with international standards, Yuan Heping also taught a series of other boxing techniques.

Such as Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, Muay Thai...etc.

only.

At the beginning, the main actors were quite interested in practicing and it felt relatively fresh.

However, after three consecutive days of training, several main character actors began to become dissatisfied.

"What kind of training is this? I haven't been feeling well these days."

"Yeah, my hands hurt, my waist hurts, and my whole body hurts after practicing."

"What kind of bullshit training is this? I don't want to practice anymore."

This kind of training is more difficult than military training.

The next day, the actress Annie, who played the female lead, waved her hand and said, "Director Yuan, I can't practice anymore."

"Can't practice anymore?"

Yuan Heping encouraged and said: "Annie, you also have a lot of action scenes, hold on for a while, and I will give you a stunning Trinini in return."

"Sorry, I'm just an actor, not a fighter. I won't practice anymore. If you want to practice, you can practice."

Finished.

Anne sat aside and went on strike.

Yuan Heping looked cold and said, "Annie, if you do this, I will tell the director what happened today."

"snort……"

Annie glared at Yuan Heping and had no choice but to continue training.

…

That night.

Anne called the male number 1 Reeves and the male number 2 Bourne over.

"Hey, hey, hey, two big-name celebrities, I'm being bullied by others, and you don't care."

"Annie, who bullied you?"

"Who else could be that damn Chinese action director?"

"Oh, don't talk about this, I actually feel pain all over my body."

Reeves shook his head, feeling extremely depressed: "But forget it, it is said that the director is a fan of this action director, so let's not cause trouble for the director."

"I don't want to cause trouble for the director, but I think this kind of action training is useless. In fact, I think this guy is not training us for filming at all, he just wants to establish his authority over us."

"Establish your authority?"

At this point, Bourne, who plays the second male lead, nodded: "I feel it too."

"You see, Reeves and Bourne both think so."

"You guys..."

Reeves spread his hands and didn't mean anything.

Anne, however, set her sights on Bourne. She felt that she could pull Bourne to her side: "Bourne, we won't practice together tomorrow."

"This won't work."

Bourne shook his head: "He is the action director after all, and the director also promised to let him train us for half a month. Even if he doesn't want to practice, he has to find a reason."

"The reason is not simple. When the time comes, you stand up and challenge Yuan Pingping to see if he dares to accept it."

"Haha, that's a good idea."

Bourne laughed.

In fact, he had already had this idea.

…

"Director Yuan, we have been training for the fifth day. I feel like our moves are useless."

On the fifth day, after half an hour of training on the first flip, Bourne found an excuse and said.

This made Yuan Heping frown: "Why is it useless?"

"I think these are all just showy, have no practical ability, and look too fake."

Yes.

That's what Byrne thinks.

In fact, he never felt that such a move had any effect.

even.

He has always laughed at the so-called kung fu in China.

With such powerful kung fu, China should dominate the world.

"So, you want to fight with me."

Although he is over 60 years old, Yuan Heping still has the arrogance of a martial arts practitioner, staring at Bourne and saying.

"Haha, you are already 60, let me forget it."

Bourne smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll knock you over with one punch."

Byrne is black and very large.

Not to mention anything else.

Just the size alone is intimidating to most people.

But as soon as these words came out, Chen Ping, who was standing aside, said: "In that case, how about fighting with me?"

Although Chen Ping does not think Yuan Heping will lose to Bourne.

But after all, Yuan Heping is older.

Even if you can beat Bourne, it won't be a good thing if something goes wrong.

No matter what Chen Ping said, it was Yuan Heping who recommended him, so he naturally had to stand up.

Even if Chen Ping was not recommended by Yuan Heping, the Chinese should help the Chinese.

also.

This guy actually doubted Chinese Kung Fu.

Chen Ping couldn't bear it either.

certainly.

There is another layer.

Chen Ping also wanted to help Yuan Heping teach them a lesson.

In fact.

When they came to the crew, although these actors did not say it clearly, they secretly laughed at Yuan Heping and Chen Ping from time to time.

Yuan and Ping formulated a fifteen-day training plan, partly to train the skills of the actors.

On the other hand, I also want to establish my authority.

otherwise.

When the actions set by Yuan and Ping are not executed by these actors, or they are not very cooperative in execution, there will be trouble.

This is very possible.

Domestic artists have never been particularly respected by others in Hollywood.

Not to mention an actor, he is also a director.

For example, director Wu Yusen.

After filming "A Better Tomorrow", Wu Yusen also went to Hollywood.

But.

In several of the films he directed, he encountered difficulties from many big-name actors.

so.

No matter what, Chen Ping will stand up.

"you……"

See Chen Ping.

Sean laughed loudly: "It's just you, can you do it?"

Sean compared Chen Ping's body shape with his.

really.

Sean is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 200 pounds.

Although Chen Ping is of decent height, under his perfect figure, he is only 75 kilograms.

Just looking at appearance, the two Chen Pings may not be Sean's opponents.

not to mention.

Sean is still black. Looking at his four legs and bones... it makes people feel unstoppable.

"Whether it's okay or not, we'll know after the fight."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "However, if you hurt someone, you have to agree to it first when the director asks. We are discussing. In other words, we are competing in advance. Anyway, in the play, we have different Less scenes of fighting, right?”

"Hmph...you should tell the director about this."

Bang.

Sean felt that he was insulted by Chen Ping and threw his clothes aside.

"OK..."

Chen Ping made a Wing Chun starting hand gesture and said: "Come on."

Sean roared and rushed towards Chen Ping.

Chen Ping took an inch and walked up to Sean, punched down, and hit Sean in the abdomen with a bang: "Let me tell you, this is Wing Chun."

Sean was in pain and hit Chen Ping with a right uppercut. Chen Ping staggered Sean and fell to the ground with a swing.

Some of the other actors nearby burst into laughter.

Sean got up angrily and rushed towards Chen Ping again.

"This is Bajiquan, you can experience it."

"This is the hammering power of Tai Chi, and you can experience it."

"This is Xingyiquan..."

"This is Tongbei Fist..."

Chen Ping used more than a dozen boxing techniques and moves.

Every time a boxing technique was mentioned, Chen Ping punched Sean.

There was only a crackling sound...a chaotic noise, accompanied by bursts of screams.

Bourne, who weighed 200 pounds, finally collapsed completely and could not get up again.

"I go……"

"Chinese Kung Fu is really so powerful."

"Oh My God……"

Seeing Chen Ping deal with Sean in a few seconds, the actors watching were completely stunned.

Especially the female number one Anne.

When she saw Chen Ping, her hands were trembling.

If Chen Ping had beaten her so hard just now, she would probably have been lying on the ground.

"Call doctor, call doctor..."

"No, call and send him to the hospital."

"Quick, quick..."

After a brief shock, the staff panicked.

The second male lead was knocked down before the filming of this drama even started.

What if this affects subsequent filming?

However, compared to their panic, Chen Ping said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. He is fine and will wake up tomorrow."

Although Chen Ping beat Sean violently, Chen Ping was measured and did not attack the vital points.

As long as he rests for a day or two, Sean will be fine.

"Chen Ping, have you practiced?"

Yuan Heping stepped forward and stared at Chen Ping in great surprise.

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Director Yuan, all he practices are routines and he doesn't have much practical ability."

"You don't have much practical ability yet."

Yuan Heping pointed to Sean, who was already on a stretcher, and said with a smile: "But thank you very much for today."

"Director Yuan, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this role. Besides, I can't bear this guy dare to insult Chinese Kung Fu."

"Hahaha... I just said I saw you right."

Patting Chen Ping on the shoulder, Yuan Heping was very happy today: "Don't worry, I will handle it from the director's side."

Subsequently.

Xiao En was violently raped by Chen Ping, which also alarmed the director.

Although the director attaches great importance to it.

but.

After Yuan Heping's explanation and the testimony of the actors and staff on the scene, the two directors did not say anything.

Just this one thing.

No one dared to say no to Yuan Heping's training.

…

"Director Yuan, thank you. These fifteen days of training were really great."

"This is what I should do."

"Now, can we start?"

"I think it can be done anytime."

"OK."

The 15-day training is over.

Seeing the significant changes in the spirits of the main actors, the director brothers were very satisfied.

The next day, filming of "The Matrix" officially began.

The first scene has nothing to do with Chen Ping.

It mainly revolves around the male number 1, female number 1, and male number 2.

The plot of the story tells that "Neo", an urban youth, is a hacker. While he was constantly engaging in hacking activities, he discovered some of the truth about the world. He felt that the world seemed to be controlled by some kind of force. Then, Humans Female No. 1 and Male No. 2, who had escaped from the mother body, found Male No. 1... At this point, it was revealed that human beings have always been controlled by robots. .

There are many philosophical issues involved here.

for example.

What are the facts?

What is reality?

How to prove that we have minds and consciousness, rather than electric currents generated by the brain?

Does the world we live in really exist objectively?

Is the you in the mirror really you?

Just like teacher Luo Xiang said:

Is there Antarctica in this world?

Why do you think there is?

Does it really exist objectively?

have you been there?

There is one on the map, but it may be fake.

It's possible that people around me organized a big conspiracy to lie to me that Antarctica existed in this world.

Is there a Qin Dynasty in Chinese history? Why do you think there is? Have you been there?

You said that Sima Qian wrote historical records. Isn't it possible that Sima Qian was lying to you, or he himself was also deceived.

This is also the question Chen Ping is thinking about when there is no chance.

Why think.

In fact, it is just for better filming.

The most exciting thing about The Matrix is ​​the setting, not the actors' performances.

so.

If you want to play a role well, it doesn't depend on your acting skills, but on the setting of the character.

Just like watching The Matrix in your previous life, can you imagine which actor in it has great acting skills?

No.

You can't imagine.

Maybe at that time, you completely ignored your acting skills.

What you care about is whether the number one male is the savior?

What you care about is whether this world is the real world.

What you care about is whether humans can rebuild their homes.

What you care about is the agent's final destination.

Originally, Chen Ping thought that The Matrix was a trilogy.

But after coming to the crew, he discovered that it was not the case.

The current director only has ideas for the first part, and he has not yet thought about the second or third part.

Fortunately.

The director brother has a habit of telling the actors a series of questions about philosophy and the setting of The Matrix.

It's just that the actors are not philosophers, let alone the plot setters behind the scenes.

Not only did they not do much research on philosophy, but they also just acted out the plot according to the setting.

As for what is behind the plot setting, many people actually don’t know.

This is also normal.

The Matrix is ​​so complicated that even if you are an actor, you may not know what it is about.

but.

There is a loyal audience here, that is Chen Ping.

Or.

Chen Ping is not only a loyal listener, he is also an excellent adviseer.

…

Today, after filming, the two director brothers began to give a speech to Chen Ping again.

"Chen Ping, do you know what the agent you play represents?"

"Stands for antivirus software."

"Hey...how did you think it was anti-virus software?"

"If the mother body is a system, then the humans who escape from the mother body are viruses, that is, the male protagonist, male number 2, female number 1...these humans who invade the mother body, they are all viruses. They enter the mother body in order to infect the mother body , and then destroy the mother body, so they are also viruses. As a program to remove viruses, it is anti-virus software.”

"Hahaha, I haven't even thought that Smith is an anti-virus software. Your name suddenly makes it more concise."

The two director brothers nodded approvingly: "Then do you think Neo is the savior?"

"no."

Chen Ping shook his head.

"Why not?"

"He is just a super authority selected by the mother body, or we can call him a super administrator. It's just that this super administrator discovered that he was living in a virtual world, and he began to rebel against the mother body."

"Super Admin, this metaphor gets even funnier."

"Why would you think of Neo as a super administrator and not the true savior."

"Isn't there a line in this? The previous generation of the mother body has completed 5 generations, and now it is the sixth generation. I think there will be a savior in each generation, or a super administrator will be born in each generation. As for why there are super The administrator is not doing it for human beings, he just wants to better evolve himself. Let the super administrator discover the bugs and fix them."

"pretty."

The two director brothers snapped their fingers.

Since the filming of The Matrix began, Chen Ping is the first actor who can fully understand the meaning of the script.

As for everyone else.

There is no need to think about it, just thinking about the settings makes my mind go fuzzy.

"So, director, we don't have just one Matrix, right?"

Chen Ping said weakly.

"There is only the first part for now, and we want to make the second part. However, the first part is not finished yet, and we don't know what the box office will be."

"I see."

The box office determines whether a second film can be made.

"Another one, we haven't figured out how to set up the second part yet."

"I have a suggestion."

Chen Ping knew that the opportunity had come.

"Talk about it."

"The ending is that the savior kills the agent I play."

"Yes."

The two nodded.

But Chen Ping asked back: "Is the agent really dead?"

"There's none?"

The director brother asked: "Since agents are anti-virus software, humans are viruses. For anti-virus software, super administrators are also viruses. Since the anti-virus software is killed by the virus, it also means that the anti-virus software is useless. This is also It means the anti-virus software has crashed, which means it is dead.”

"I do not think so."

Chen Ping shook his head: "Director, according to the plot setting. The savior was killed by the anti-virus software first. In other words, the anti-virus software killed the virus first. Then the virus finally discovered that he was not an ordinary virus, he was a super virus. Administrator, so he used his authority to resurrect. Then, he used his highest authority to see through the code of the anti-virus software, and then deleted the anti-virus software, that is, killed it."

"Yes, that's it."

The two directors nodded: "Is there any problem here?"

"has a problem."

Chen Ping said again: "This creates a BUG. The anti-virus software kills the virus, and is finally killed by the resurrected virus. This is a contradiction. This represents a logical error in the matrix of the system. Since it is a logical error, Then he couldn't handle the anti-virus software in the mother system, because the system didn't know how to determine whether the anti-virus software was dead or not. He also found it inconceivable how Smith could be killed by the person he killed.

Therefore, the mother body cannot run this logical error.

As a result, Smith ultimately escaped the system's grasp.

In other words, it seems that Smith is dead, but he is not. Not only is he not dead, but he is no longer controlled by the system and is freer... even. Because he escaped the control of the system and was not deleted by the system, he eventually turned into a virus... and took control of the system. "

Chen Ping is naturally talking about The Matrix 2 and The Matrix 3.

As for why I say this.

Very simple.

That is to add another scene to Agent Smith, played by Chen Ping.

Yes.

Since the acting skills are not impressive, there is only one way, and that is to increase the character settings.

in this way.

In Chen Ping's setting, Agent Smith, played by Chen Ping, is not only the villain of The Matrix 1, he is also the ultimate villain of The Matrix 2, The Matrix 3, and even The Matrix 4.
