Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Chapter 367:

"Oh My God……"

"This imagination is even bigger than mine before."

"I think about it, based on this idea, our Matrix will not just be one, but two. No, two is too few. It will be three."

"It could be four."

"Fourth part?"

Looking at Chen Ping, the director brother asked: "What will happen in Part 4?"

"If the system is restarted, everything will start again."

"Holy shit..."

Although this was just a sentence, the director brothers were once again stunned by Chen Ping.

Although this sentence is simple, the amount of information in it is extremely large.

it is known.

The matrix is a system.

Agent is an antivirus tool.

Humans are viruses.

then.

Humans, agents, and the mother body are always in a constant struggle.

In this, no one among the three can do anything to the other.

Sometimes the system wins, sometimes the agents win, and sometimes the virus wins.

Just when the three of them were fighting fiercely, the system directly restarted.

The so-called restart is the same as reinstalling the operating system.

What happens if I reinstall the operating system?

The matrix becomes a new matrix.

Antivirus software has become the new antivirus software.

Viruses are completely removed.

Or.

At this time, the virus has not yet begun to invade the mother's body.

All previously dead viruses may re-invade.

That is to say.

All humans who have died before may be resurrected.

This is a big deal.

"Chen, you are really a genius."

Looking at Chen Ping, the director brothers' eyes were filled with sparkle.

At the same time, they also muttered to themselves: "Yes, The Matrix can't be one part, but two, three, or even four, or even a series."

"If that's the case, then we should leave a tail in the first part."

This tail is the setting that leads to the second, third, and even fourth part.

"Chen Ping, how do you think we should leave a tail in the first part?"

"It's easy."

Chen Ping had already thought about this setting: "For example, if the agent, that is, the anti-virus software, becomes intelligent, what will happen to him?"

"GOOD."

The director brothers applauded loudly.

Such a setting can make a perfect transition to the second part.

Just imagine.

If anti-virus software generates intelligence, will it still help the system do things?

Or.

Anti-virus software, that is, the agent played by Chen Ping, after he develops wisdom.

On the one hand, he may help the system, but on the other hand, he may also want to escape the system...or finally control the system.

This night.

The three of them chatted for a long time.

We chatted until 2 o'clock in the morning.

A little worse, which affected the filming the next day.

But even so.

The director brothers were also extremely excited.

Even if the filming is delayed a little, it doesn't matter.

Originally, they only had a vague idea about the second part.

But after Chen Ping's imagination, those settings, and those crazy innovations... it was enough to launch an amazing Matrix series.

Then, the two brothers are likely to create a box office myth of their own.

…

"Chen Ping, the director seems to be very interested in you recently."

"Yeah?"

"Don't pretend to be like me. The director has been chatting with you non-stop recently. You don't know that the other main actors are a little envious of you."

"Haha, I've been trying to suck up to the director recently. I hope the director can give me some extra scenes."

"Come on, do you think flattery is useful?"

"Of course it works. Look, my role will increase soon."

Chen Ping said to martial arts instructor Yuan Heping.

He said so much to the director brothers, and it was not without reward.

He just wants to add drama to himself.

at the same time.

He also wanted to ensure that the agent he played could serve as the only villain in the trilogy or tetralogy.

"Chen, today is your show."

"OK."

"How are you prepared?"

"I'm available anytime."

"I know your acting skills."

After several days of filming, Chen Ping didn't have many roles and didn't have many lines.

today.

Chen Ping's highlight is here.

Today’s highlight is about the agent played by Chen Ping, the anti-virus software, who captured Morpheus, the No. 2 character in the Matrix.

"Okay."

"All preparations."

"start."

The clapperboard rang.

The helicopter took off and arrived at the 160th floor.

Agent Smith, played by Chen Ping, got off the helicopter.

He wears sunglasses.

Although sunglasses cover Chen Ping's eyes, you can see Smith's superiority with just one glance.

"This guy has some acting skills."

Annie, the female No. 1 who was watching Chen Ping from the side, complained.

She specially came to watch Chen Ping's play today.

Watching Chen Ping's drama is not that she likes Chen Ping, but that she hates Chen Ping very much.

But there's nothing I can do about it if I hate it.

He couldn't beat Chen Ping again and again.

The previous male No. 2 Bourne had already been severely taught a lesson by Chen Ping.

They didn't dare to attack Chen Ping again.

As actors, acting is their source of confidence.

Previously, they once won praise from the director with their acting skills.

They really want to compete with Chen Ping in terms of acting skills.

For example, Bourne is playing opposite Chen Ping at this time.

Morpheus, whom he played, stared at Chen Ping with a pair of extremely hateful eyes.

But in Chen Ping's eyes, these eyes were nothing more than a joke.

Looking at Bourne, Chen Ping smiled contemptuously: "Poor human beings."

This laugh, and this sentence... once again fully demonstrated Chen Ping's aloof image.

No.

Not just high and mighty.

But Chen Ping has a God-like perspective.

Or.

In Chen Ping's eyes, Bourne is just an ant.

"Huh……"

Seeing Chen Ping's look, the director brother felt like he was stimulated by something.

This look is truly amazing.

even.

Such a look also made the actors Anne and "Reeves" beside them extremely surprised.

They didn't expect that Chen Ping would perform Smith so perfectly.

To know.

They never thought that Chen Ping would play Smith in such a way.

In their eyes, Smith was nothing more than an agent, nothing more than a thug.

He has no emotions, he just acts on the orders of the matrix system.

But now...

Although it seems that Chen Ping has no emotions.

But this kind of lens that treats you like an ant from God's perspective is quite shocking.

certainly.

For this shot, the inspiration came from the previous science fiction movie "The Three-Body Problem".

For people in the high-dimensional world, they look at low-dimensional creatures from a God-like perspective.

In their eyes, humans, or other creatures in the low-dimensional world, are just bugs.

For bugs, will you be born with any pity?

impossible.

even.

For them, not only will they not feel any pity, they can also dominate your life at any time.

This is not cold or arrogant.

Instead, he is as high as a god.

"Have you ever tried to stop and look at the world and be shocked by its beauty..."

With just one glance, Chen Ping was shocked by Bourne, the actor who played Morpheus, who had been dissatisfied just now.

Chen Ping smiled.

This feels good.

"It's a genius design," he continued.

What Chen Ping is talking about here is exactly the matrix of the system, which is the virtual world in which everyone lives.

"Billions of people live in it, mediocre and ignorant."

"You know, the original mother body was designed to be a world without pain, and everyone was happy. But it turned out to be very bad, which instead caused a greater disaster, and everyone died... Me too It feels strange, how could this happen?”

"Some people think that we can't describe your perfect world in programming language. But I believe that as a species, the way humans define reality is through pain and misery."

While talking.

An assistant on the other side picked up the syringe and injected a dose of medicine into Morpheus.

This potion is what invades Morpheus's brain.

Then, Chen Ping added: "So for your lower-level brains, the perfect world is just a dream that you desperately want to get rid of. This is why the mother body was redesigned like it is now."

Chen Ping now transformed into a life coach.

He came to Morpheus, leaned over and said: "Look out the window, your time has passed, and the future belongs to our world."

Finished.

Chen Ping pulled a stool in front of Morpheus, and then sat down leisurely: "Share something I learned during my time here. It came to my mind when I was trying to classify your race. Yes, I realize that you are not real mammals. All mammals on this planet will reach a balance with the natural environment in which they live. But this is not the case for you humans. You migrate to a piece of land and start breeding. , keep reproducing until all resources are exhausted. The only way you can survive is to keep moving from one place to another. There is another creature on this planet that is very similar to you, you know What kind of creature is it?"

"Virus."

"Yes, that's right, you are the virus."

Facing Morpheus, Chen Ping said with great certainty: "Human beings are the disease of the earth, you are the plague of the earth, and we are the antidote."

This sentence made Morpheus turn pale.

The other actors who were watching were also completely conquered by Chen Ping's wonderful reading.

But Chen Ping's role is not over yet.

After waiting, the agents thought they could get the password by hacking into Morpheus's brain, but they didn't get it for a long time. Chen Ping, who was so embarrassed and angry, took off his glasses and sent away his two assistants: "I'll tell you clearly. I...hate...this place."

Chen Ping said word by word: "This zoo, this prison, this simulated world, no matter what you call it."

"I can't stand it anymore, the smell, if there is such a thing as smell, I've had enough."

"I have to leave here, I want to be free..."

When all this was said, Reeves and Anne on the other side were completely stunned.

This one stays.

It's not because Chen Ping's acting skills have reached an astonishing level.

Although at this time Chen Ping's acting skills had already impressed them with admiration.

But Chen Ping's line was actually not in the original script.

That is to say.

Chen Ping actually changed the lyrics.

"Oh My God……"

"The anti-virus software has mutated, and it has become intelligent."

"Is he going to betray his mother's body?"

Annie turned her head and looked at the director team.

She wanted to say: "Chen Ping changed his lines."

This is no small matter.

No matter where they are, actors cannot change their lines.

The actors must read the lines in the script word for word.

certainly.

It’s not like it can’t be changed.

When your coffee position reaches a certain level, you can also change it.

But at this time, Chen Ping has not yet reached this point.

Don't say it's Chen Ping.

Even they can't change the lines easily.

In Hollywood, actors, directors, screenwriters... there are strict career divisions.

Actors only perform.

The director is only responsible for filming.

The screenwriter is only responsible for the script.

Especially the screenwriter.

On this side of the country, screenwriters may have a small status.

But in Hollywood.

The screenwriter is almost the same as the director.

If you want to change the lyrics, it is equivalent to challenging the director's status.

No, it is equivalent to challenging the status of the director and screenwriter.

Annie wanted to remind the director.

Just when he was about to speak, Reeves grabbed Annie.

"Annie, don't talk."

"Why?"

"Didn't you see that the director didn't say a word?"

Annie looked at the director.

really.

The two directors on the directing team didn't say a word.

Not only did he not say it.

The two of them didn't seem to see Chen Ping change his lines at all.

When seeing all this.

Anne knows.

Chen Ping's change of lines has been approved by the director.

"OK."

"ut..."

The director shouted loudly.

"very good."

"Chen Ping, the Smith you played is so classic."

"I'm wondering, once this Smith comes out, will everyone look forward to the rebirth of Smith in the next film?"

At the end of this scene, the director came to Chen Ping.

Yes.

This scene is exactly what Chen Ping mentioned before.

Through this tail, you can subconsciously think that there may be many more scenes about Smith in the future.

after all.

Today's Smith is no longer an anti-virus software that only knows how to obey system commands.

He is also an anti-virus software that produces wisdom.

While he obeys the orders of the system on the one hand, he actually thinks the same as humans.

He doesn't want to stay in this virtual world.

He also wanted to be free.

Isn’t such a villain very attractive to you?

Do you also want to see him appear again?

…

"Chen, I think we can talk some more."

CAA's chief agent "Kang Bo" found Chen Ping again.

As the largest agency in Hollywood, they had noticed Chen Ping long ago.

However, when they tried to contact Chen Ping, Chen Ping made a request that the contract period was not bound.

This puts CAA out of consideration.

only.

The Lord of the Rings made Chen Ping famous, and all the major brokerage companies wanted to bring Chen Ping under their banner.

Although Chen Ping has not signed with any brokerage company yet, no brokerage company wants to give up.

for them.

It is entirely possible that Chen Ping's potential is comparable to, or even surpasses, Chen Long's.

"Mr. Kangbo, didn't I tell you before?"

"Yes, but I think we may not have communicated well."

"Really? Have you agreed to my request?"

The scenes for The Matrix were quickly wrapped.

Chen Ping, who has not signed a contract with an agency, has no filming in Hollywood for the time being.

This is normal.

Hollywood is no better than China.

A lot of domestic directors will rush to cooperate with Chen Ping.

But in Hollywood, on other people's territory, there are really not many companies willing to give an actor who has not signed a contract.

As for being able to play "Lord of the Rings" before and now "The Matrix", it can only be said that Chen Ping is pretty lucky.

But luck cannot always cheat.

It is impossible for Chen Ping to always have people recommending him in Hollywood.

No.

After Chen Ping finished filming "The Matrix", he was ready to pack up and go home.

Just the day before returning to China, the CAA agency found Chen Ping again.

Faced with Chen Ping's request, Kang Bo shook his head: "Chen, I know that you have also opened a company in China. Even your cooperation with major stars is bound to a number of years, isn't it?"

"This is just the early stage. If they need it, I can also work with them using a studio approach."

"Hollywood has Hollywood rules. Chen, you haven't been in Hollywood long. Look at Chen Long, hasn't he signed a contract for several years?"

"I think the rule in Hollywood is to make money."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "There is no rule that cannot be broken, if I can make you money."

"Can you guarantee that every movie you make will make money?"

"At least, it was true until I debuted."

This made Kang Bo not know what to say.

His investigation data on Chen Ping showed that Chen Ping was right.

Of all the films Chen Pingzhi has made since his debut, none of them has lost money.

There is even a series of films that are making huge profits.

Of course, this is also one of the important reasons why they are interested in Chen Ping.

only.

Chen Ping's request not to be tied to years is really unacceptable to CAA.

"It seems that we don't know each other well enough. In fact, I also want to recommend a movie to you."

"What movie?"

"You must be interested."

"Talk about it."

"dark Knight."

"Batman?"

Chen Ping was shocked.

He didn't expect that CAA's resources were so strong.

It's such a blockbuster movie right from the start.

However, Chen Ping said: "Am I playing Batman?"

Seeing Kang Bo's confused look, Chen Ping said, "Just kidding."

How is it possible for Chen Ping to play Batman?

"You play the villain, Joker."

"clown."

clown.

Although he is not Batman, Chen Ping wants to challenge the role of the Joker more.

honestly.

When this role appeared, Chen Ping was really moved.

only.

He also knew that Kang Bo just wanted to test him.

After signing a contract with them, it is not certain whether Chen Ping can get this role.

after all.

Although Chen Ping has been popular for a few days because of Lord of the Rings, he is really a newcomer in Hollywood.

If Chen Ping guesses correctly, at most, CAA will give Chen Ping a chance to audition as a clown.

As for whether Chen Ping can play this role after the audition, that has nothing to do with CAA.

"Isn't it exciting?"

"There are some."

Seeing Chen Ping's excited look, Kang Bo nodded with satisfaction: "You know, we at CAA are the largest agency in Hollywood. We have cooperated with almost all film companies in Hollywood, and we have also signed contracts with companies like CAA Mellon, Berg... such great directors. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that it was Berg who recommended you time and time again, and it was Mr. Berg who recommended you to audition for the role of Lord of the Rings. As long as you sign with us at CAA, I Think about it, you will definitely not have to worry about film sources in the future.”

"Take me to thank Mr. Berg."

"You're welcome. If you join us, you can thank Berg in person."

"I will, but maybe not in this way."

"That's such a shame."

Seeing that Chen Ping was still unmoved, Kang Bo stood up and said, "You have my contact information. I will wait for your call at any time."

"You also have my contact information. If you agree to my conditions, I can sign a contract with CAA."

"goodbye."

Although there is some excitement, but... sometimes it can only be like this.

What's more.

Chen Ping doesn't necessarily have to act in Hollywood movies.

The domestic movies he plays can also go abroad and go international.

For example, "Hero".
