Director who specializes in American comics

Chapter 23: "The Matrix" needs 3 parts

Welcome!When it comes to "The Matrix", Andy seems to have opened up the conversation: "Hey, Wang Xuanyuan, if I want to say that the deepest impression on me from this shooting, it is the gay Nu and Yuan Ba ​​are in trouble."

Andy took a sip of Coke and continued: "Keanu is the most attentive actor I have ever seen. He is a civilian movie star. It stands to reason that after the popularity of "Speed" in 96, Keanu has become a Hollywood first-line star, right? Although we haven’t filmed much in the past few years, and life seems not to be going very smoothly, the two of us and the executives of the production company Warner only thought of this after we were rejected by Will and Depp, who we originally liked. As an action star who has just passed his age, he didn't expect that it would be settled after just talking. Do you know what Keanu said at the time?"

Andy looked at Wang Xuanyuan excitedly, his intention was very clear, he wanted Wang Xuanyuan to follow his words and ask him.

Of course Wang Xuanyuan was very cooperative and said: "What did Keanu say?"

Doug next to him didn't seem interested in what Andy said. He must have heard Andy say it many times.

Andy invited some vocals and imitated Keanu's voice and said: "I haven't filmed for more than a year, and my motorcycle has broken down. And I think this script is really good and creative, so okay, I Got it."

After Andy finished speaking, he said excitedly: "Wang Xuanyuan, you know, at that time, last year, we two brothers were still new directors. When we signed Keanu, Warner's chief producer Bruce He gave us 10 million and said you can go ahead and shoot it. As a result, my brother and I used the 10 million to shoot the ten minutes of the main film, and then said to Bruce: We shot the title sequence for 10 million. Take a look. If you If you decide not to invest more in us, then so be it. If you decide to invest more, then allocate another 50 million to us brothers. As a result, guess what."

Wang Xuanyuan could only act as a spectator again and said: "What's wrong?"

Andy said with great satisfaction: "After seeing his 10 million results, that old guy Bruce decided on the spot to give us an additional 50 million. Together with Keanu and Yuan Baye, we, the two brothers, filmed for a year. We just finished shooting the pre-production, and now we’re working on the post-production.”

Wang Xuanyuan asked: "Has it been decided when it will be released?"

Andy said: "It's decided, March 3st next year, there is still a year of post-production time to arrange, the time is very tight, the post-production of the fight scene that was just completed a few days ago, isn't this the post-production of the fight scene that I just finished at noon today?" Put it on the plane.”

Andy said excitedly: "Hey, Keanu hasn't left yet. He's still working with us in post-production. When I get the chance, I'll introduce you to him. Keanu is really good and very common. I believe in us." This movie by the two brothers can bring Keanu's influence to an unprecedented level. Really, believe us, we are very confident in this movie."

Wang Xuanyuan said: "I believe in you, Andy. The "Matrix" trilogy will be a rare masterpiece. As the first dawn of the new millennium, it will surely make film critics and movie lovers dream. .”

Andy smiled and said, "You really think so? That's great. Wait, what did you say? The Matrix trilogy? What trilogy?"

Wang Xuanyuan said with some surprise: "Yes, three parts of "The Matrix", a continuous story, a story about fate."

Andy said with some confusion: "Who did you listen to? We brothers never said that we would make three movies. Now this is a complete story, a story about self-understanding. How can you say more?" What about Part Three?”

When Wang Xuanyuan heard this, he said, "Oh no, I knew this movie would be a trilogy, and each one is more exciting than the last. But as the person involved, they are just filming the first one. Could it be that they don't have three movies yet?" This concept, without a continuous plot throughout the story?

Wait, could this be an opportunity for me? A chance to catch the masterpiece of "The Matrix"?

Even Doug next to him showed an expression of interest and turned his face to look at the two people.

Cathy didn't know what they were talking about at all. She was in New York. Although she often watched movies, she didn't know these things better than these three directors. Although there was another director who was not a director, but Directing student.

Wang Xuanyuan said in confusion: "You said you two brothers have never considered a trilogy?"

Andy nodded and said, "I never thought about it. The two of us have been thinking about it for several years, absorbing inspiration from "Neuromancer" and "Ghost in the Shell". In addition, the Internet has just emerged, so the two of us will These three and artificial intelligence AI were combined to come up with this virtual reality system. We named this system "trix" after the super computer in the British TV series that has been popular for decades. This is the inspiration for our creation. .”

After Wang Xuanyuan listened, he made a thoughtful gesture and said: "Actually, I think your story can be dug deeper and deeper. I have read the outline of your movie, and now this one is about the savior. I'm right about the story of how they discovered that the reality they were in was a huge virtual system and tried their best to escape."

Andy said: "Yes, it is such a story. Reality is actually virtual, but virtuality is really real. Some people want to stay in the virtuality, while some people want to break the virtuality and return to reality. Machines cannot Rule over humanity, and humanity must escape its fate.”

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Your story is really suitable as a beginning and an origin. Have you ever thought that this savior is the only one? Do you really think that the current system is the only one? Do you really think that the agent program was really deleted? Do you really think that the prophet is helping mankind? Do you think that is the ultimate fate of the savior? Defeated Agent Smith, rescued their heads, and destroyed the agent headquarters , is it that simple? Is the system trix just finished? Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, but resistance has no end."

Wang Xuanyuan's series of direct questions made Andy speechless. Doug's brows furrowed as he asked them. Andy fell into thinking. Judging from his serious look, he probably had an idea inspired by Wang Xuanyuan. None of the other three people disturbed him. They sat quietly, not daring to make any noise for fear of affecting his thinking.

After a while, Andy slapped his thigh and said: "What Brother Xuanyuan said is so reasonable. The ending we have now is too hasty. According to the question Xuanyuan just asked, there are still many things that can be explored in the story. It should be made into a trilogy. It’s not a problem. Xuanyuan, my good brother, you are so talented.”

Wang Xuanyuan said in his heart, thanks to my artifact, it seems that I may be about to start my take-off.

Doug also smiled and said: "You have new ideas again. I'm so happy for you. A good script and a good idea. You should know how precious these are in Hollywood. Although Xuanyuan only proposed a few It’s a question, but it gives you some guidance.”

Andy said: "Xuanyuan, I invite you to work with us two brothers to create the story line and direction of "The Matrix" after that. The three of us are going to build a shocking fictional world. Of course, we must first ensure that this Only by launching one film can we have enough funds to present the story in our imagination."

Then he said in a low voice: "Bruce gave us a shooting budget of less than 665 million this time. In fact, it is far lower than the budget we two brothers had in mind. I believe it will be popular next year. By then I will definitely let Bruce's stingy People came up with $ million." See more! Prestige official account: hhxs
