Saving the world is not as good as chasing stars [US Entertainment]

《黑客帝国2》于2001年5月29日上映,两个月后下档时，美国本土票房达到三亿4000万美元,海外票房高达四亿8000万。

With a global box office of 2000 million US dollars, it has become the most successful R-rated film in the history of world film.

Not only the Cadillac CTS and the SPH-N270 mobile phone produced by Samsung that appeared in the film are very popular.

The heavy locomotive that Margaret Adjani rode in the highway chase scene even launched a special custom-made model named after Trinity. Orders surged and it was sold out in just a few days.

But compared to the first work, the reputation of "The Matrix 2" in the critics is difficult to adjust——

"The Matrix Reloaded develops its unique world in far more detail than the first episode offered, and Adjani's own action is breathtaking." --Chicago Sun-Times "

"A worthy sequel, Trinity's loss is heartbreaking, but timely and tragically uplifting for the film." -- San Francisco Chronicle

"The film is worth recommending. The high-tech action scenes are dazzling and the styling is stylish, but the plot is obviously not as perfect as the first episode. The next sequel is worrying. Adjani is unexpectedly smart to get out in time." - "New York Observer"

"Commercially acclaimed, but the love scene is not too salty, Adjani is clearly more interested in the Italian stunner, and the two European beauties are full of sparks." - The New York Times

Regardless of whether the critics are positive or negative, or generally doubtful about the sequel, "The Matrix 2" has an extremely high box office of 2000 million US dollars, creating an unusually high salary for the two leading actors.

This movie not only saved the sluggish acting career of the leading actor Keanu Reeves, making him return to the list of top Hollywood action movie actors, but also became a Hollywood star with a base salary of 500 million plus [-] million in box office dividends. One of the most profitable stars.

And Margaret Adjani's 20.00% five box office dividend contract made her rake in 750 million US dollars, setting the highest single-film income.

No actor in history can get such a huge amount of remuneration for a movie, and no one can shake her top position in a short period of time.

Although these two actors set such a staggering salary, there is no doubt from the outside world——

The amount is indeed terrifying, but people's sky-high income is earned by real money at the box office.

Not to mention the influence of the film, if "The Matrix 2" is replaced by other people, it obviously does not have the ability to carry the box office.

What is surprising is that Adjani and Keanu Reeves both gave a large part of their salary to the stuntman, martial arts team, costume and special effects department, making many behind-the-scenes staff millionaires.

After that, Margot really spent a lot of money and moved to Malibu Beach in western Los Angeles County.

"Margaret Adjani's $2300M Malibu Beach Mansion Becomes David Geffen's New Neighbor." —Chicago Sun-Times

"Ajani's stay sparked a housing boom in Malibu? Tony Stark, the richest man in the United States, bought 12 super luxury houses in Malibu, with a total value of over [-] million U.S. dollars." - "Wall Street Journal"

"Malibu Beach has become the most popular area for rich people. Gotham's richest man, Bruce Wayne, bought a mansion owned by Los Angeles Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt at a high price, becoming the latest crazy buyer." - "New York Daily News newspaper

"Lex Luthor spent $3700 million to buy a Malibu seaside mansion in the hands of Yahoo CEO Terry Semel for the first time after he won the election of the President of the United States, and became a new friend with Hollywood actress Adjani." "Washington post"

"In just 20 days, Malibu Beach sold [-] million-dollar properties and became the best-selling residential area in the United States. Is it because of the extraordinary charm of Hollywood actresses?" - "Pyramid"

In the picturesque mansion on the Pacific coastline, Margot was sitting in front of three "the most fanatical buyers of luxury homes in the United States".

Facing the sea, the 270-degree super-large viewing platform is magnificent, with the typical blue sea and blue sky in Southern California in front of you, and the beach scenery is beautiful and unique.

However, Margaret did not admire the endless Pacific coastline, but said with a straight face, "Good day, new neighbors" blowing the gentle Southern California sea breeze.

The top three richest people in the United States are too lazy to see each other, but today they happened to form a group to chase stars. Eyelash Jing suggested, "Honey, maybe you should hold a move-in party?"

Compared with the star-studded Beverly Hills, the Malibu residential area in the west of Los Angeles County is mostly wealthy Jewish financiers, as well as the super-rich in the technology industry like Tony Stark, who enjoy exclusive 27-mile invincible sea views.

If it's other entertainers, moving to Malibu Beach will certainly throw a move-in party with great fanfare.

But when the protagonist is Margo, few people mention this matter, not to mention that she doesn’t like to attend party dinners, and the fact that she has always kept herself clean is also destined to prevent “little pills” from appearing at her parties.

Party master Bruce, rich second generation, playboy Wayne said, "The open-air infinity pool in the backyard is simply perfect for parties."

Handsome brucey babe looks interested and wants to go for a couple of laps right now.

The new President of the United States, Lex Luthor, with half-length curly blond hair, handed Margo a beautiful long gift box.

On his often moody face, his smile was shy and sincere at this time, with a bit of a nerd in science and engineering, "Margot, congratulations on moving."

Two other rich Americans who came with empty hands, only thinking about the party: this hypocritical blond curly is sinister.

The politician who likes to play tricks the most, is arrogant, conceited, moody and nervous, now he pretends to be green tea and white lotus essence?

And Margot was looking at the contents of the gift box in surprise——

It turned out to be the manuscript setting diagram left by Tolkien, the author of "The Lord of the Rings", including maps, sketches and concept drawings, etc., both in terms of imagination and painting skills.

"This is probably the best gift I have ever received." Margaret expressed her surprise without concealing it.

Two other super-rich people who have been ignored --

When the hell is this phony, cunning blond curly going broke?Or kicked out of the White House because of a scandal?

And Lex Luthor is putting away all his dangerous dark sides, and is obsessed with chasing stars with a shy face.

Tony Stark became more and more dissatisfied, and said to Margaret, "What's so great about the manuscript setting diagram, I can find the manuscript of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy for you."

Baby Bruce went on to say, "I have the manuscript of "The Silmarillion" in my collection. I asked the veteran to send this manuscript to the publishing house, but it was rejected because ordinary people could not understand it."

Not to be outdone, the new President of the United States said, "Margot, I will bring you the hand-painted illustrations and manuscripts of The Hobbit tomorrow."

In just a few sentences, three rich and stupid fans began to rush to give gifts.

And Miss Margo didn't have time to intervene. The three rich men in the United States in front of them wanted to give her all the manuscripts of masterpieces in their collection.

Tony Eyelash Stark seemed not satisfied, "How about moving all the famous paintings I have collected?"

Brussie Baby: "I have a lot of jewellery."

New U.S. president: "I have a diadem in my collection that was worn by the Queen of France."

The mascara was dissatisfied: "What's the big deal, I'm the richest!"

Baby Bruce: "Wayne Enterprises is the longest running!"

Lex Luthor: "I am the current President of the United States!"

Margot couldn't bear it anymore and knocked on the tabletop, making a crisp sound, to stop the childish show-of-wealth fight.

The French beauty put the "Lord of the Rings" manuscript into the gift box again, placed it carefully, and then looked at the top three richest people in the United States, "I will only accept this gift."

The three gentlemen were obviously ready to refute, and Margaret raised her eyebrows, "Just say one more word, and never plan to enter this house again."

The two super rich and the president of the United States obediently shut up——

Margo is always good at threatening me, but what can I do?She looks really good-looking, of course I have to forgive her.

When the three rich and stupid fans were obsessed with star chasing, the evil god Loki, who was imprisoned in the prison of Asgard, the remote Asa god domain, had a pale and sly face and a strange expression.

This prison looks quite comfortable. The transparent energy wall glowing with golden light separates the different cages, and God's Domain soldiers are stationed not far away.

Loki, the evil god with profound and beautiful features, is not wearing a golden armor and a dark green cloak, but a simple long robe, which further shows his good inverted triangle figure with strong waist and long legs.

He was tall and tall, and beside the bed on one side were a large number of classical books, most of which were written by Shakespeare, and the one he was unfolding seemed to be a sonnet.

But Loki didn't read it, but stood expressionlessly in front of the transparent energy wall.

The evil god is very good at illusions. For example, right now, this large energy wall is being turned into something like a screen by his illusions to show movies to pass the time.

Loki's behavior is obviously tacitly approved. No one cares whether he reads a book or watches a movie to pass the time. Anyway, this dangerous little prince just doesn't escape from prison.

And Loki was looking at the French beauty emerging from the energy wall with a cold expression——

If he had watched these movies earlier, he probably wouldn't have left her behind Stark Tower.
