Chapter 302
CAA Office
"《"The Matrix" is still being distributed by Warner Bros., and the promotional campaign will begin soon." Martin knocked on the table lightly,"I will not participate in the later promotions, and I will join the crew to film"Pirates of the Caribbean" soon, oh , and the matter of Disney shares is about to come to an end, and the financial team’s review is already underway."
Speaking of this, Martin's face showed excitement.
Jeff, who was sitting opposite him, was equally excited.
His client was going to become a director of Disney. Who would have thought of this!
With Martin's As his power and status increase, Jeff's position of power in the Hollywood circle will also increase.
Once Martin successfully acquires the shares of Disney, Jeff feels that he can say without any scruples that he is the number one agent in Hollywood. Who agrees? , who objects!?
"Jeff, keep a low profile lately! Keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense to avoid accidents."
Martin's words interrupted Jeff's YY.
He nodded hurriedly,"I will, Martin."
"By the way, Charlize's"The Devil Wears Prada" has started filming. Please help her more when you have time. This is the first time that she has been an actress and a producer at the same time."
"I will, Martin"
"Also, we should pay attention to Miramax. The fat guy has been very quiet recently, which actually makes me a little uneasy."430"I will, Martin."
Jeff seemed to have become a yes man.
In the two weeks after the Rose Bowl game,"The Matrix" successively released posters of the main characters.
One of the posters had a pure black background with a dense rain of green code. , in front are Martin, Nicole, Lawrence and other main actors, all dressed in black, with cold faces and a sense of technology.
There is also a poster that focuses on the cyberpunk style, with a huge dark building as the theme, and a White light flows down from the middle of the picture like a waterfall. Martin and Nicole are at the bottom of the poster, occupying a very small area, giving the whole person a sense of mystery.
《The biggest selling points of"The Matrix" are Coo1 and Cyberpunk, which are vividly expressed in these two posters.
In fact, the cyberpunk culture with its dark characteristics is cool in itself. Combining it with technology and fierce fighting will definitely make all viewers feel cool to the core.
This is Martin's confidence!
As the posters of"The Matrix" spread rapidly across North America at the fastest speed, with theaters as the fulcrum.
Warner Bros.'s media and NBC TV stations have also begun to promote it, and"The Matrix" has become (afai) the most popular word on people's lips recently.

4-15.
Dolby Theater Los Angeles
《The premiere of"The Matrix" was held here.
That night, the entrance to the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles was studded with stars—not only celebrities, but also famous directors and executives from major film companies were present.
Steve Spielberg and George Lucas came together, causing a flash of light
"Mr. Spielberg, what do you think of Martin's new film"The Matrix"?"A reporter asked loudly.
Spielberg was stunned,"Uh, what do you think? In fact, I’m about to go see it! Spielberg
's narrow-minded answer aroused laughter.
A reporter also asked George Lucas:"Mr. Lucas, do you think Martin's"The Matrix" will continue to be successful?" George Lucas smiled and said:"
This is a good question. Of course I think he will succeed. You know, I have invited Martin to write the script for my"Star Wars" and strongly requested him to star in it. But guess what?" ?"
"He refused!"
Looking at the surprised looks from all the reporters, Lucas smiled and continued:
"It wasn't until I saw his script for"The Matrix" that I finally understood why Martin rejected Star Wars. I believe that what he is filming is a great science fiction film. He has created a world that is unique to him. When the film is released, , will inevitably open a new era of science fiction films!"
"An epoch-making science fiction film is being born!"
George Lucas's praise for"The Matrix" excited all reporters.
More importantly, George Lucas also revealed that Martin had refused to write and star in"Star Wars", but that was"Star Wars"!
Walking the red carpet after Steve Spielberg and George Lucas was another major Hollywood director - James Cameron.
This man was holding a tall and beautiful girl in a blue dress. He was greeting fans on both sides of the red carpet with a smile on his face.
His female companion was his fifth wife, Susie Amis.
James Cameron was also a romantic and talented man, and was married five times.
Strange. What's amazing is that every time he gets divorced, his ex-wives seem to have no complaints against him. Even after the divorce, he can still get along with his ex-wives like friends, which is quite capable. He has already reached the end of the red carpet. When George Lucas and Spielberg saw James Cameron appear, they stood there and waited for him for a while.
When the three famous directors in Hollywood gathered together, many reporters and fans were really excited.
This These three people are probably the three most profitable directors in Hollywood, right?!
George Lucas created the era of special effects in Hollywood. Although he has relied on the"Star Wars" series for his whole life, his influence in Hollywood is huge..
Even James Cameron began to realize that he wanted to be a film director after watching George Lucas's"Star Wars", so he quit his job as a truck driver.
James Cameron, the successor to George Lucas The special effects master after Lucas and the representative of Hollywood's technical directors, no matter in the past, present or future, he has always been at the forefront of the world's film technology. It is not fair to describe him as a pioneer.Too much.
Steven Spielberg is a typical businessman director. Unlike technology geeks like George Lucas and James Cameron, he even studies special effects himself in order to make movies. He uses special effects and shoots them. Movies are all for commercial service.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Steven Spielberg's movies began to become routine.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Spielberg has basically been resting on his laurels in recent years. He has never directed any more films than"Jurassic Park".》、《"Saving Private Ryan" is stunning, and his career as a director is on the decline.
Of course, this situation is not obvious yet. After the release of"The Terminal" and"War of the Worlds", the two films suffered box office failures, which made the media hype that Spielberg had"exhausted his talents".
Then Spielberg began to concentrate on being a producer, and few directorial works came out. Until the release of"Ready Player One", he made a not-so-complete turnaround.
To be honest,"Ready Player One" has a global box office of US$500 million, of which China's box office accounted for nearly half - US$204 million.
Without the Chinese box office, Spielberg will probably experience another failure.
All I can say is that talent will really be exhausted.
