Chapter 757 Xu Qingya Go Save The World

Du Caige didn't tell her about the Matrix until he left Xu Qingya's house.

She has been guessing in the direction of mathematics, wondering whether Matrix will tell the story of a mathematician and mathematics professor.

Du Caige would not tell her that this is a sci-fi film, which tells a creepy story similar to "brain in a vat".

The Matrix.

But of course he couldn't copy the original.

Just like the original "Wulin", he just borrowed a concept, and then shot it completely according to his own ideas.

It's like "Night Banquet", which draws on the core plot concept of "Hamlet"; "City Full of Golden Armor" draws on the core plot concept of "Thunderstorm".

But can you say that "Night Banquet" is a copy of "Hamlet", and "Curse of Golden Armor" is a copy of "Thunderstorm"?

No.

All you can say is that "The Banquet" is based on "Hamlet" and "City of Golden Armor" is based on "Thunderstorm" - and it's a poor adaptation.

Is The Matrix a good movie?

of course.

Countless people have their own understanding of The Matrix.

Countless movie fans have never tired of analyzing various metaphors and easter eggs in the movie.

Regardless of whether those analyzes are really close to the original intention of the director, or they are pure nonsense.

At least it is because the Matrix has such a charm that everyone is tireless and enjoys it.

The Matrix trilogy is definitely a classic that can be left in the film history. When it comes to movies in the 21st century (the first one was released in 1999, but the entire trilogy should be regarded as works in the 21st century), it cannot be avoided. classic.

But that's the Wachowski Brothers, Cross Out, Sisters classic.

Du Caige is also a director with his own pride, how could he copy other people's works.

Of course, he has to rewrite a script based on his own understanding and write a work with a more oriental style.

Let's say that.

In the first part of The Matrix, why did Neo follow those people to the bar at the beginning?

Because of a prompt "Follow the white rabbit", and the person who invited him had a white rabbit tattoo on his girlfriend's shoulder.

For audiences in Western countries, the story of Alice in Wonderland is a household name, and "Follow the white rabbit" is a stalk that everyone can understand.

For Eastern audiences, this stalk is not so friendly.

It's like people who don't watch harem comics and don't understand what "Brother Cheng gets hacked".

For those who have never watched "Saint Seiya", it is difficult to understand what a "small universe explosion" is.

Literally understandable.

"Brother Cheng was hacked by a hatchet" means that a man called Cheng was hacked by a hatchet.

"Small universe explosion" probably refers to the explosion of super strength when encountering danger.

It's not bad to understand this way.

However, it is difficult to grasp the profound connotation hidden under the words.

In The Matrix, there are a lot of stalks and small details in the Western context.

Even the names of the main characters have meanings.

Neo, the protagonist.Change these three letters and recombine them, put O before N, and it becomes One.

And TheOne has the meaning of "savior" in the Western context.

You see, someone's name determines that he is the savior.

And Trinity, the protagonist's lover.

Her name is Trity, which is even better. Think about Triplekill. The root of this word means "three", which means "Trinity".

And the meaning of "Trinity" in the Western context, needless to say?

Morpheus, another important character in the movie, is the leader of the protagonist Neo.

Morpheus is Morphe, the god of dreams in Greek mythology.In The Matrix, as an important leader of the rebel army, he awakens people from the illusory world.

As for "Zion" in the film, if you don't go to Baidu, 99% of the Chinese people will not understand it.

There are many such things.

The reason why The Matrix attracts so many details to analyze and delve into is because of the many metaphors and stalks, there are many worthy of scrutiny and speculation.

But Du Caige, as a big Chinese, of course wants to shoot things he is familiar with.

In his "Matrix" version, of course, it will be full of various stalks and metaphors in the oriental context.

Of course, there will be a problem with this filming, that is, it is too unfriendly to Western audiences, and it is difficult for Western audiences to understand.

There will be very serious viewing barriers.

Therefore, don't have too high expectations for the overseas box office of this movie.

But... Du Caige has passed the time to prove himself with the box office.

He just wants to shoot some fun and interesting things now.

Then Du's version of "The Matrix" is very suitable.

It's fun, cool, and you can stuff private goods into it.

Moreover, as long as the filming is good, the special effects are in place, the fighting is exciting, the main plot is not obscure and can be understood, the box office will not be bad.

But Du Caige hasn't figured out how to shoot yet.

It's just a preliminary confirmation that the version of The Matrix he filmed will not flatter the Western world for overseas box office, but find a Western male as the male lead and an Eastern female as the female lead.

If it is shot like that, it is estimated that the box office will be guaranteed.

The western handsome guy, the tough guy and the ruffian quarterback act as the savior, and the oriental beauty throws himself into his arms, assisting the savior to save the world.

This is a theme that Westerners like to watch.

Even if you can't grasp the profound connotation and understand the various stalks in it, you can still watch it with relish.

But Du Caige wouldn't shoot like this.

The Matrix he wants to film will undergo drastic changes.

First of all, the role of the original savior Neo will change gender.

Who says women can't be saviors?

In such a movie that is likely to be famous in film history, Du Caige certainly hopes that someone close to him will play the most important heroine.

Perhaps "Martial Arts" is not worth much, but with the addition of "The Matrix", it is possible for Xu Qingya to be crowned "Queen of the Movies".

Well, it's not an Oscar, it's just a domestic actress.

As for Xu Qingya saying that she has no time to shoot and wants to go abroad... It's not a problem.

Xu Qingya, go save the world.

……

Although Warner Bros. Pictures also had a lot of things to do, Du Caige stayed in Dahua throughout October.

This is not only because after becoming the highest-grossing director in Dahua Country, his social status has risen again. Many people are eager to make friends with him, and some of them he is unwilling to refuse easily.

This makes him bound to spend a certain amount of time socializing and entertaining.

Another important reason is that Chasing Dream Huyu made a series of major moves in October, including the restart of the film and television base plan; the launch of some film and television works projects; the official acquisition of some small theaters and small theater lines, after reorganization and renewal After the equipment is installed, it will join its own theater chain; of course, there is also the most important thing, the listing of Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment.

Although Yan Yingzhen is behind the scenes and Sun Yaling is the leader in the IPO of Chasing Dream Huyu, Duan Caige and Duan Xiaochen, as the company's leading figures and major shareholders, of course want to use their social influence to do a wave of publicity for the company of.

Entering the second half of October, Chasing Dream Huyu has released the prospectus and officially launched the public offering.

This time, Chasing Dream Huyu only has an IPO in Dahuaguo, taking out 10% of the shares, and wants to raise about 10-20 billion Dahua yuan in funds.

In fact, the cash flow of Zhumeng Huyu is very healthy, so there is no need to raise too much capital.

But because there will be a series of big moves in the future, and if you want to expand rapidly, going public is also a good choice without relying too much on Rouzhi investment and capital injection from major shareholders.

The sale of 10 billion shares at 16 yuan per share means that the valuation of Chasing Dream Huyu has reached 160 billion Dahua. In terms of volume, it has already ranked among the "Seven Biggest Companies in the Dahua Entertainment Circle"—— No, it will become the "Big Eight" from now on.

Of course, it is still close to the bottom of the "Big Eight".

But if you don't compare yourself with others, you only compare yourself with yourself.

It only took two years to start from a registered capital of 10 billion to a 16-fold increase in valuation.

For this IPO of Mengmeng Huyu, there is a lot of capital willing to raise funds, and the capital market is quite optimistic about the prospect of Zhumenghuyu.

Not to mention, there is also a juzhi investment pocket.

In the first ten days of November, Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment was officially listed on the Dahuaguo Modu Stock Exchange, with an issue price of 11 yuan per share.

After that, the stock price rose rapidly, and it rose by 8% on the first day.

For the next period of time, it has also been on an upward trend, which shows that the shareholders of Dahuaguo have full confidence in Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment.

Especially after Chasing Dream Huyu announced a series of production plans, and at the same time several film and television works in production have received good news.

When the time entered December, Diva Duan Xiaochen, Su Manxuan, and Diva Yu Yu, whom the company strongly promoted, released albums one after another, and after obtaining good market feedback, the share price of Chasing Dream Huyu has reached 12 yuan.

more than doubled.

And it doesn't appear that the rally has yet to run out.

This means that the market value of Zhumeng Huyu has reached 350 billion yuan, and the ranking is not too low in the new "Big Eight".

The net worth of several original shareholders of the company, as well as the management, has risen rapidly.

This also makes the entire company, currently in a thriving state.

At this time, Hemingway's new film began to be publicly cast in the circle.

Chapter 758 It's Awards Season Again

Many people don't understand Hemingway's casting of new films at this time.

Because in December, Dahuaguo's awards season is in full swing.

And Hemingway, who just passed his 37th birthday, is undoubtedly the big winner of this year's awards season and is very busy.

How busy is he?

Even for some heavyweight awards, he didn't have time to go to the awards scene.

And the organizers dare not say "you play big, the prize will not be given to you".

What if Hemingway said, "This award is not good, let's create a new award"?

The fact that the Golden Melody Award was eroded and gradually replaced by the "Hemingway Pop Music Award" made the entire entertainment industry very vigilant.

At the Dahuaguo Film "Flying Awards" in October, "Wulin" won 10 nominations, and then won the Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Art and Best Cinematography without any suspense These 9 awards.

At the "Wada Awards" in November, "Wulin" still performed strongly, with 11 nominations, and also 10 awards--Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, and Best Soundtrack .

It may be because of the practice of "sit in a row and share the fruit", so after winning the "Best Director", "Best Picture" and "Best Feature Film" are not enough for the "Wulin" crew.

Interestingly, the Fei Tian Award counted "Feng Yuxiu" played by Liu Pengfei as the leading actor, and then Liu Pengfei missed out on this award.

However, the Wada Award identified Liu Pengfei as a supporting actor, and finally awarded the award to Liu Pengfei.And this is also the first time Liu Pengfei has won an important award.

When he delivered his acceptance speech on the stage, he recalled the hard time when he was an unknown group performer, and once choked up tears. As for whether he really cried or faked it, it's hard to say.

After all, for every qualified actor, crying whenever he says it is just a basic skill.

He is also an actor with a good emotional intelligence. He kept thanking director Hemingway for his insight, thanking the entire crew for their hard work, saying that his opponents were very strong, and he just won by luck...

Du Caige felt at the time that as long as this son could not forget his original aspirations and maintain humility and hard work, he would not be far away from the film king crown.

Naturally, Xu Qingya was also nominated for Best Actress in the "Wada Awards", but she lost in the end regrettably.

It's a pity because her competitors are indeed very strong, and Xu Qingya's acting skills are indeed somewhat lacking.
