Chapter 386: The Matrix

For this premiere, Ryan completely handed over the initiative to the Weinstein brothers. He himself did not even walk the red carpet, and entered the front hall of the theater early.

Attending the premiere were not only Hollywood celebrities, but also representatives of several advertising implanters, such as Motorola mobile phones, Apple computers, and Ray-Ban glasses.

Also, there are people from General Motors, which are all GM car brands used in the film.

Unlike the previous Warner Brothers looking for sponsorships everywhere, after Jenkins Films released the news, many brands took the initiative to find them, and FedEx and Wilson Sports Equipment's surge in business volume after the release of Cast Away also gave a boost. It gave them great confidence and enthusiasm.

Although Ryan didn't star in the film himself, the heroine is his only family member. Will Ryan Jenkins hand over the failed film to Nicole Kidman?

The first part of The Matrix has not yet been released, and the advertising revenue alone has recovered more than half of the production cost. As long as the first part is a big success and these brands want to appear in the next two parts, then Pay more.

These are big customers who will pay in the future. The Weinstein brothers entered the theater early, chatting and laughing with them, and Ryan kept saying hello to the people entering the theater. It was not until a long time later that Nicole held the partner Keanu Reeves walked in.

Keanu, thank you for your motorcycle. Ryan greeted him, and the actor who played Neo, who had grown a bushy beard at this time, waved to him, You're welcome.

Just after the post-production of the film was over, Keanu Reeves used part of the salary he had already received to buy a heavy-duty Prince Harley motorcycle for each of the main members of the crew, including him and Nicole.

The life and way of thinking of this Hollywood star, many people can't understand. Of course most stars in Hollywood have eccentricities, and he wasn't one of the most prominent.

Keanu's sister has leukemia, and he donated a large sum of money to related medical institutions.

The two of Ryan walked to the other side, because they had been filming together for a full year, and Nicole knew him better, His girlfriend is said to be pregnant and is still taking drugs.

This is Keanu's private matter. Ryan reminded.

As far as he knew, the former Keanu Reeves was also an addict. It was not until his friend River Phoenix died of an overdose that he gradually quit drug addiction.

Here.

I will introduce you to a friend.

Nicole pulled him, and the two walked up to a middle-aged actor, Hi, Russell.

Hi, Nicole. Hi, Ryan.

The other party stretched out his hand and introduced himself, Russell Crowe, like Nicole, is from Australia.

Nice to meet you, Russell. Ryan shook his hand, knowing that this must be a member of the Australian gang.

Russell Crowe was not as arrogant and rude as rumored in front of Ryan, but looked very humble. Because Nicole is one of the leaders of the Australian gang, Ryan treats him very politely.

The current time and place can only be to say hello, because people keep walking in front of Ryan and Nicole. There are not a few people who even recommend themselves by talking about unnutritive topics.

Why did you think of introducing him to me? Ryan said Russell Crowe, of course.

I recommended him to Nancy. If there is no accident, Russell will be the leading actor in 100% Men. Nicole laughed and lowered her voice, In order to prevent you from being jealous in the future, I will introduce you to him first. .”

Am I so stingy? Ryan also lowered his voice.

Narrow-minded, old-fashioned, possessive, and machismo. Nicole listed his crimes one by one, Do you want me to tell them all?

Looks like I'm useless. Ryan asked, mocking himself, Are you going to work again?

Hmm... I promised Nancy to be the heroine of 100% Men. She poked Ryan's chest covertly, This is your script, male chauvinist.

Nicole's personality is not suitable for an ordinary life at all. Ryan is very aware of this and didn't say much, as long as she is happy anyway.

In fact, Nancy Meyers originally decided on Mel Gibson as the leading actor, but was rejected by Ryan. He will become Hollywood's public enemy, and in the end he can only make B-grade movies to dawdle. It is better for Jenkins Films to avoid entanglements with him.

As for Russell Crowe, although this movie is not as good as Gladiator, it can still hold him in the front line. There is also A Beautiful Mind, which seems to be about a certain professor at Princeton University, what is his name? He can't remember the name clearly, so he can find someone to look it up, maybe he can get another movie king.

Hey Ryan, what were you thinking?

Leonardo DiCaprio's voice brought Ryan back to his thoughts. He looked around and saw that Nicole was no longer there. He probably went to socialize. He immediately patted Leonardo's arm , asked, Where's your new girlfriend?

Following Nicole to socialize. He pointed casually, and the two tall women were very conspicuous.

Didn't you go on location? Ryan remembered that Mission: Impossible 2 directed by Baige? Wu had already started filming.

Nicole sent me an invitation, so why not come? Leonardo scratched his eyebrows, By the way, come back for an audition.

Audition? Ryan asked cooperatively, Which movie?

Ridley Scott. Leonardo laughed, Your Gladiator, Ryan, maybe we will play opposite each other next year.

You? Ryan deliberately hammered his thin chest, You are too thin.

However, he frowned and thought for a moment, and said, Well, Leon, as long as you can impress Ridley, I'm not a problem here.

If this guy performs well, he might be nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Even if he doesn't perform well, it won't affect him too much.

As for Joaquin Phoenix, I have no friendship with him.

Just like The Lord of the Rings, the preparation of epic films is very troublesome. Ridley Scott signed the director contract, and after the start-up funds of Jenkins Films arrived, he first decided on the location. He originally wanted to Filming in the city of Rome was rejected by the city government of Rome, so the location was chosen near London.

Actors are also recruited in advance, as they undergo months of fencing and riding training.

Ryan didn't expect that Leonardo would be interested in this movie. Probably every time he starred in a movie, he would receive several Oscar nominations. It seems that after Xiao Li became a first-line superstar, he became more interested in honor. Many pursuits.

Leon's girlfriend is a smart person. Nicole whispered as she walked towards the screening hall, I agreed to get her a role in 100% Men.

You can do this kind of thing as you see it. There is no harm in adding a sexy and beautiful female model to a commercial film.

The Matrix, in the previous life, was considered to be a science fiction film rich in philosophy, and even every line, every shot was analyzed, and then all kinds of strange conclusions were drawn, some of which may even break the heads of the Wachowski brothers. Have no idea.

It is undeniable that this movie does have a lot of metaphors, and some lines seem to contain philosophy, but in Ryan's eyes, this is just a cool, funny and profitable movie.

In order to increase the frankness of the movie, when he wrote the script, he removed some nagging things, especially the metaphors in the last two films, like the kind of constant assumptions and self-subversion. Once the audience It will feel very novel, but if the number of times is too much, it will only make people feel bored.

This movie highlights coolness, the costumes of the actors, various props, virtualized fighting, Motorola flip phones, Ray-Ban sunglasses, all of which show the meaning of the word cool.

Of course, looking at it from another perspective, it is also a master of the '13' movie.

cool!

Awesome!

Words like this kept coming from the audience in the back row.

My dear, you are so sexy. Ryan's eyes almost fell on the heroine, and he whispered in Nicole's ear, When you go back at night, can you show me what to wear?

I want to go home tonight, to my own home. Nicole pushed him back directly.

It's really disappointing. Ryan couldn't help shaking his head.

Today is the premiere, if you want to be caught by the paparazzi, I have no problem.

Nicole's words undoubtedly hit Ryan's vitals, he closed his mouth obediently, and returned to the big screen.

The movie has come to the coolest and hottest place-bullet time.

Words like 'cool' have been used countless times by the audience in the back row. Many people have opened their mouths and barely closed them. This movie has indeed touched the itches of many people, especially young people.

As for bullet time, this is not the original of The Matrix. There were similar shots in some movies in the 1980s, but there is no doubt that The Matrix has thoroughly carried forward this film technology. It will definitely be used for reference in many future movies until it is used badly.

Hollywood will still follow suit, and it produces excellent films based on a huge number of bad films.

Then there is kung fu, no matter what kind of evaluation the action of this film will get after it, after it, kung fu is bound to set off a new round of upsurge in Hollywood, although there are many films that use kung fu and profit from it, but this The fad lasted too short.

Of course, because the trilogy was filmed at the same time, enough suspense was left at the end of the movie, such as what is the mother body? There is also Zion, which is frequently mentioned by Murphys and others. Where is this place, which is obviously the last position of mankind? (To be continued..)
