Chapter 447

Please remember the website website:; Please recommend the introduction to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post bar! Because Ryan completed the script of the trilogy at the same time, he made some necessary additions and deletions to the plot, making the movie more and more Coherent, and during the production of the second film, the Wachowskis called in the actors to make some additional shots. One second to remember The fastest update of popular novels

However, these have nothing to do with the plot, and are mainly for the film's advertising sponsors.

Motorola, one of the main sponsors, did not want to pay more advertising costs for the second one, so all the phones were replaced by Samsung.

Since it is a commercial film, it must pursue the maximization of profits.

What's more, compared with the previous life, the trilogy was shot at the same time, saving at least one third of the cost. Although it will bring some other minor problems, in general, the gains still far outweigh the losses.

Ryan generally remembered that he had seen some related reports in his previous life. Keanu Reeves was paid only ten million dollars for the first film, and the sequel was paid 15% of the total box office. If this is true If so, his salary alone is a huge expense.

Although after the success of the first film, the producers inevitably increased the actors' remuneration, but they did not reach such a terrifying situation.

Otherwise, the actors' share alone will take away a considerable amount of profits.

Because of the great success of the first film, Jenkins Films and Weinstein Films, as producers, and Warner Bros., the distributor, prepared more than 8,000 copies for the second film in total, setting a record in Hollywood history. The three parties fought for the largest possible number of theaters, and wanted to push the film's first-week box office past the $100 million mark.

Regarding the release of the film, Ryan also fully learned the lessons of his previous life. Although the post-production of the third film has already started, it will not be released this year. The market always needs a period of time to digest, and there is no benefit in launching the next episode too early.

Of course, it can't be launched too late. September next year will be a hurdle.

Watch Agent Smith fighting Neo on screen. Ryan suddenly thought of The Lord of the Rings, which was about to be finalized. If nothing else, this movie could also catch up with next year's summer schedule, and he had to find a way to stretch the movie's schedule further.

Although Ryan has fine-tuned the plot, the movie is still a bit confusing. Fortunately, the audience can still buy this kind of plot. In addition, the first episode has a huge influence. Most people are immersed in thinking and thinking about the plot. Under reading.

Ryan is certainly not one of them,

In his eyes, the biggest feature of this movie. That is, Keanu Reeves is handsome enough, Nicole Kidman is a beautiful mess, and Lawrence Fishburne is still cool...

Well... the highlight of this one is the addition of an absolutely large vase. Monica Bellucci is indeed plump and sexy.

As for the connotation and philosophy of the film, let the audience and film critics think about it.

Like all Hollywood movies, love is pitiful, and is often used as the opposite of salvation, if you use Ryan's words. Love is simply an unforgivable sin against humanity and society...

Neo inevitably has to choose between salvation and love, and his first choice is Trinity, which is, in a way, a very typical American value. If you can't even protect your personal interests or loved ones, and you can protect the country or the whole world without hesitation, it would be too false...

Even if it's just a fictional sci-fi movie.

The unfinished part of the second part left a huge suspense, judging from the warm applause of the audience. The box office of this film and the expectation of the third film should be maintained at a relatively high level.

Between the second and third films, Jenkins Films has found someone to make related animations. Will do some preheating.

Anyway, Ryan will not take a break unless the oil and water of this series are squeezed out. After the trilogy, after a few years, he can continue to make sequels to make money.

Worst of all, you can also sell the rights to make a sequel, which is also a huge benefit.

Thinking about the past life, why did Walt Disney spend more than one billion dollars to acquire Lucasfilm, isn't it because the other party holds the copyright of the Star Wars series?

Now that we are in Hollywood and we have reached the current stage, we must consider film issues from the perspective of a qualified producer.

After the movie, Ryan wanted to have a good talk with Nicole, but the Australian girl didn't give him this chance at all. He didn't even attend the press conference. He took Jodie Foster's car and left the Shrine Theater. .

What about Nicole?

Just after returning to the manor, Tyler, who was sitting in the front hall playing guitar, ran over, Are you an idiot, Ryan?

Honey, this is not your concern. Ryan responded casually, It's not as simple as you think.

Hmph~ Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The little girl sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, wrinkled her nose, and said with certainty, You must be reluctant to part with Nat, right?

It's getting late, you should go to bed.

Ryan was still a little embarrassed to be told by a little girl in his early ten years, Don't forget, you have to go to Warner Records tomorrow morning.

Not at all.

Seeing Ryan's outstretched hand, Tyler hid on the single sofa next to him and said solemnly, We are studying a very serious topic, don't make trouble!

After pouring a cup of tea, Ryan was quite helpless and sipped it quietly, ignoring the little girl.

The royal blue eyes blinked, and Tyler jumped on the sofa opposite him again, Ryan...I, can I give you an idea?

Ryan didn't even look at her.

You can learn from James. The little girl had to take the initiative to speak. He's doing very well. You can marry Nicole first, and then let Nate be your lover...

Naturally, Ryan will not take this kind of childish talk seriously, and the best way to forget about depression is to temporarily shift your attention to other aspects, such as the word-of-mouth and box office of The Matrix 2: Reloaded.

It's a wonderful movie, but unfortunately, its first film is unparalleled, The Matrix 2: Reloaded did not escape the fate of the sequel film, and compared with the first film, it is obviously inferior.

--New York Times

The Matrix 2: Reloaded develops its unique world with more detail than the first one offered, making it a worthy sequel.

-- San Francisco Chronicle

The Matrix: Reloaded is so exciting, it's a mix of Hollywood's usual elements - heroes and villains, special effects stunts, pursuits and explosions, romance and beautiful words. Compared to the first , it's sadder and wiser and more mature. Some might say it's made for a sadder and wiser, more mature world.

-- Chicago Tribune

Compared with the unanimous praise of the first film, the second film has significantly more criticism. From this aspect, the film's high expectations are not a good thing.

The fights in the movie are full of chaos and surprises, it builds up a huge and hilarious human world, and it's an ugly, bloated, repetitive movie that's totally not worth the audience sitting in front of the big screen for more than two Hour.

-- New York Magazine

There are more fighting scenes, more dazzling bullets, and more fashionable shapes. Except for the surprising plot, it seems that everything is not as good as imagined. Maybe our appetite is too high. The Matrix 2: Reloaded Battle has been reduced to a purely high-tech fighting film, plus some love scenes that are neither salty nor bland, neither soft nor hard.

--The Miami Herald

In any case, the praise the film received far outweighed the criticism, especially with the first film as the basis, the audience was very impressed. In four consecutive days, The Matrix 2: Heavy Loaded into battle, it was almost full.

It made $5 million on Thursday's premiere, jumped to more than $27.5 million the next day, and over two days over the weekend, it took in more than $60 million at the box office.

Although it did not become the second film with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in its first week, the number of more than 3,600 theaters approaching 95 million US dollars has already made Ryan very satisfied.

Just like in the first film, the products that appeared in the movie were very popular among movie fans, especially the new Samsung mobile phones. In just three days, the 10,000 sph-n270 mobile phones they prepared in North America were sold very quickly. empty...

Although the film's box office experienced a major decline in the second week, with a score of $53.14 million, it still overwhelmed other films in the same period, and has been on the top of the North American weekly box office chart for two consecutive weeks.

After the second week, the film began to land in several major overseas markets, continuing the good momentum of the first film and becoming a powerful tool for sweeping the box office.

It's a pity that the box office of the movie did not exceed 100 million in its first week.

This is the call Ryan received from Harvey Weinstein. The fat man seemed to be a little emotional, Ryan, we should invest some money!

Hey, Harvey, rather than breaking 100 million in the first week of the film, we should pay more attention to the actual benefits it can bring us. Anyway, there will be films with box office breaking 100 million in the first week, and Ryan doesn't care about this title. , I heard you negotiated Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with Julis?

Yes, I have made a complete publicity plan. Harvey Weinstein said briefly, We are contacting theaters, and then we will focus on theaters close to the Chinese community.

After saying a few more words, Ryan hung up the phone. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is still a while away from its release in North America. It's enough to leave it to Harvey Weinstein. Few buy foreign language movies from overseas and have rich experience in this area.

Over time, after the doctor's confirmation, the cane that accompanied him for a short time was thrown into the storage room by Ryan, and he could also be reloaded.
