King of Hollywood

"First of all, I want to say sorry to you." Jeter Li, wearing sunglasses and a white shirt, clasped his fists and bowed slightly to Keanu Reeves.

"Sorry? Why..." Reeves hadn't finished speaking when the other party hit him with a straight punch to the chest. Immediately, the two began to exchange fists and feet.

Amidst the bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang—— This is what Adrian has repeatedly explained. The first part of the original fight was okay, but the second part was a bit too elegant because it wanted to highlight the characteristics of the virtual space. First.

Of course Adrian has to learn this lesson, so he told Yuan Heping again and again, how to play well and how to shoot, but at the same time, the audience should feel that it is not so fake. Therefore, not only Yuan Heping tried his best, but Jeter Lee also helped a lot. Judging from the current situation, they have done a good job. Jeter Lee and Reeves are completely common in kung fu movies. , the demeanor of an expert sparring.

In addition, Adrian put a lot of effort into cutting, and the transition between close-fitting bunt and open-close was just right, so one or two low exclamations could be heard in the auditorium from time to time.

Similarly, Neo also modified more than a hundred Smiths in the small courtyard afterwards. It was completely opposite to the Guardian's sparring. Care was taken here until finally too many Smiths came up and crushed him. When he had to knock them into the air and fly off the battlefield, the unreal side was revealed, and the actions such as swinging a stick and spinning and falling to sweep people off their backs were completely cancelled.

As for the effect, just wait and see, the box office will prove everything.

Next, the role of Sophie will be on the scene, and of course, there will be Adrian's cameo as the Frenchman.

"I suddenly feel a little regretful now," looking at the greasy-faced self on the screen. Adrian couldn't help sighing, "This look is too bad."

"How come, I think it's good." Monica smiled lowly on the left, and she didn't know if she really thought so or was just joking.

"That's right, listen to his lines, the cadence and rhythm are so interesting." Sophie smiled lowly on the right.

Adrian raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Just sighed again. In fact, he played this role pretty well, and he always has a mocking look that makes people feel very flat. In addition, he wrote a small program for a pretty chick's cake to make a young girl. I don't know how the media will edit him tomorrow.

The Frenchman refused to hand over the key to the man. His wife found Neo and offered to help him, but only on the condition that he would kiss her. Of course, Adrian couldn't really let the plot develop like this, so he made a spoof here. When Neo hesitated, the Frenchman's wife sneered. Then she looked at Trinity: "Jealous? Well then, on another condition, I want her to kiss me."

Imagine how stunned the audience in the screening hall was when they heard this sentence, and Sophie on the screen smiled very seductively, which was in sharp contrast to Monica who kept silent and looked very cool. certainly. In the end, Trinity kissed her, but at first she only touched her lower lip lightly, but the Frenchman's wife suddenly grabbed her and forced a deep passionate kiss, and glanced at Neo proudly and provocatively. As for Neo, he couldn't help but squeezed his fist lightly.

Of course, no one except the crew knew Sophie did it on purpose. In fact when filming here, Adrian was going to be like the original. Monica was perfunctory at first, and then Sophie was very dissatisfied and threatened to do it again by threatening the keyman. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the filming, Monica was about to leave after the first kiss, but Sophie suddenly took her own initiative and pulled her back for a deep kiss, which left everyone present stunned for a long time.

But the effect of this shot is indeed very good. Sophie's proud and provocative glance is facing the camera, which is quite tempting. Monica's surprise and surprise can be seen even if she is wearing sunglasses, and it is very natural. So Adrian kept it, and it had little impact on the plot anyway.

"Thank me, Ed, let's see how much everyone likes it." Sophie said in Adrian's ear as if asking for credit.

Adrian looked at her, then at Monica on the left, then at the hall, and smiled helplessly. Indeed, after all, it is the two most representative women in France and Italy kissing in front of the camera, and Adrian also specially optimized this shot in the later stage, making the already very tempting picture even more attractive. It's not surprising that there were meaningful tut-tuts among the audience.

Despite these changes, the overall story is told smoothly, even better than in the original. The second part of the original version is because it pays too much attention to the minutiae, playing with special effects, fighting and all kinds of metaphors. As a result, the whole movie seems to be nagging, diluting the main plot and diluting, so that the audience did not understand the theme at the end. what.

Although the main plot of the current version has not changed, it is still a large-scale awakening of human beings. The Matrix decided to send a mechanical octopus into Zion from the outside to destroy it. Neo and others entered the Matrix to destroy it from the inside. Trap, the Matrix just used their resistance to escalate.

All the plots are serving this theme, without too many hints, and the prophet is not so clever, but when Neo asked, he said that there are some things that he needs to find the answer by himself. Therefore, after the lights were turned on, there was warm applause all over the place, which made Adrian heave a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Ed, it's another good sci-fi movie." At the subsequent party, Spielberg, who came to the premiere, praised it.

"It's very imaginative, and it's not lost to me." Cameron joked next to him.

"Thank you, I'm glad to hear you say that." Adrian said solemnly, and then blinked at Cameron, "How about this, James, how about you help me design some huge combat machinery? Anyway The third one won’t come out until late next year, and I’ve got a lot of time to make changes, and those bodies you designed in Transformers are great.”

The preliminary preparations for "Transformers" have been almost done. According to Adrian's instructions, Cameron deliberately designed several Transformers to be full of thickness, but at the same time, they are not lacking in flexibility. Although the CG clip Adrian watched has not been rendered in depth, it feels quite good, and he has to give Cameron a thumbs up.

"No, no, no, you have a very good design. Those... exoskeleton machines, I think Chrysler or Lima can invite you to be the creative director." Cameron laughed and raised his hands.

"It seems that "Transformers" is about to start scaring?" Spielberg asked immediately, with a somewhat envious tone.

The huge profits that Marvel Comics and the Harry Potter series can bring. Especially the latter, even though only one movie was released, the enthusiasm caused by it is completely unmatched by other series of novels. What's more, the media also has its own toy company, not to mention the peripherals of the Harry Potter series, and some peripherals of Marvel Comics have gradually transferred to Hasbro, although not all of them have been transferred. But Hasbro has taken the bulk of it, and with the addition of two valuable animation studios, this piece is enough to make many people jealous.

Especially DreamWorks, even though they have developed fairly well, their congenital deficiencies make them a little bit stretched many times. It looked so beautiful before. But a "Pearl Harbor" made them very painful. If it wasn't for the support of Spielberg and the alliance with the media, and Adrian's support from time to time, the current situation may not be optimistic.

Now, "Transformers" will undoubtedly become a new blockbuster movie series for Universal. Children in the 1980s have grown up, even if they want to fulfill their childhood dreams, they will spend money to go to the cinema. How can DreamWorks not be envious of these? Why is Adrian's vision always so accurate?

"It may take another two months, and the casting work has not yet started," Adrian smiled. "There is no rush, I will leave next year to James."

Speaking of which, he thought of something and suddenly asked: "Hey, Steven. Are you interested in investing? Although I gave this guy a budget of 200 million US dollars, I can guarantee that he will 100% overspend."

"Aren't you afraid that I will be sad when you say this, Ed, my credit is that bad?" Cameron immediately protested.

"Your credit is absolutely first-class, James, except for the cost of funds." Adrian said bluntly.

"No problem, as long as you need it," Spielberg continued unceremoniously about the olive branch that Adrian handed over, "So, can I understand the plot?"

"To put it simply, it's a story about a boy and his car..." Adrian roughly said, "I plan to use young people, young actors who are about the same age as the characters, to play the leading role. What do you think? ?”

"What are your considerations?" Spielberg did not give an answer, but asked a question.

"It's very simple. Because of the development of the Internet, all kinds of communication are getting faster and faster. The number of teenagers who already occupy a large area in theaters is bound to expand a lot. They are more willing to watch their peers interpret stories of their peers. This makes Their sense of substitution is full." Adrian explained briefly.

This kind of attracting young people through various means becomes... how to say it according to the words of the previous life? Become a fan of a certain movie series? In short, it will be unclear for a while, but young actors and young protagonists are one of the necessary conditions.

"It's your prophecy again?" Spielberg teased, "Is anyone chosen?"

"One or two, but I haven't decided yet, do you have any good recommendations?" Adrian answered knowingly.

"I have a godson who is very young but has great potential. He started performing in cafes, bars and other places to subsidize his family when he was very young. He is a great kid, but he is a little younger." Spielberg said immediately .

"It's okay, let him audition," Adrian waved his hand indifferently, "It happens that I also plan to find a young girl who is in high school to play the heroine."

"Wait, two," Cameron interjected at this moment, "I want to state first that I don't discriminate against young actors. The younger you are, the more plasticity you have, but at the same time, the endurance is much worse. "

"Don't worry, James," Adrian laughed. "You can control everything on the set, and they won't complain to you, right, Steven?"

"Yes. Young people have to sharpen their skills." Spielberg smiled.

Will it be Shia LaBeouf? It doesn't matter, no matter who Spielberg recommends, with Cameron, the tyrant on the set, he can be well trained, but little Megan, are you ready?

The release of "The Matrix 2" caused a storm without any suspense. Just watching the first three days in 3,700 theaters received 110 million box office, and it was easy to get the baton of "Spider-Man 2" to sit on the North American box office list. You can know the top of the list. How much fans have come to expect from it. However, as great as the expectations are, so are the ensuing controversies.

The media with a positive attitude believes that Adrian has maintained the standard it should be. This is an equally good and great work as the first one, but some reporters think that this sequel is as bad as the first one. Even worse. Of course, you don’t need to pay attention to things like the latter that are completely opposed for the sake of opposition, but there are indeed critics who think that although the second part is four years apart, it is not as good as the first part in some aspects.

"All kinds of metaphors emerge in endlessly. Although the French's preaching about power is wonderful, it does not promote the plot much. The sense of illusion in the fighting scenes has also increased a lot. Of course, the whole story is still very smooth. Obviously, Director Cowell should use lines. Or the camera makes the story more obvious, and besides, the cameo of director Kewell himself is still very good." A film critic said in his article.

What's interesting is that some French film critics said that the story is a bit too simple compared to the first one, and many things should be left to the audience to think about. Otherwise it will dilute the taste of philosophy contained in it. Moreover, although they admired the French's preaching about power in the movie, they complained about Adrian playing this role, and Sophie played this role's wife. How to say, it is really European and French .

Movie fans on the Internet are also arguing. There is a faction that supports the miracle director and that as long as it can see a sequel, it is a good thing. It is a faction that has its own interpretation of the first film and feels that the second film has some ideas that are not right with itself. There is another school of chasing the original novel—part of the plot of the movie is different from the novel, or Adrian didn’t intend to copy the plot of the movie when he wrote the novel before.

Several factions insist on their own views, and they all want to persuade the other party to accept their own views, and the Internet is a place where masks are worn, and a few words that are not in the right place will immediately quarrel. From the official website of "The Matrix" to imdb to Rotten Tomatoes, their quarrel can be seen everywhere. Then because some or a certain group of "Matrix" fans claimed that the "Matrix" trilogy is much better than the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the director of Miracle should have devoted his energy to his own novels. Not Tolkien's above, so "Lord of the Rings" fans added it.

In short, you come and go, noisy, and have a lot of fun. What's interesting is that they have surprisingly consistent views on Adrian's acting skills.

"Greasy, boastful, arrogant, and only staring at women, it's really suitable for Adrian." In the forum of the official website, a certain audience commented on his performance, and then there was a watery "great " Or "ght"'s follow-up post, which shows what he looks like in the eyes of movie fans.

This kind of controversy and the evaluation of Adrian's acting skills finally even the regular media couldn't help reporting it.

"It has to be said that Director Marvel has a huge influence among movie fans, and any of his actions will attract the attention of countless people, including his cameo in "The Matrix 2". To be honest, I also think this role is very suitable for him .” The latest issue of “Variety Show” wrote in a joking tone.

However, Adrian didn't care, he didn't even feel it at all, although in front of reporters or when someone talked about "The Matrix 2", he always smiled and praised just right, so he kept his emotions very Even if a reporter mentioned that this was his first film with a box office of over 100 million in the first week, he just smiled lightly, he seemed neither arrogant nor impetuous, humble and elegant, but in fact... he is busy with his new movie.

That's right, the new movie, "The Matrix 2" has just been released, "The Lord of the Rings 2" has not yet been released, and "The Devil" is even less publicized, so he started shooting a new movie.

"I'm like a busy worker bee, always rushing from one movie to another. Even if there is a break in the middle, it won't take too long. It's really...depressing." Waiting for the staff to set up the background on the set At that time, he sighed like this.

"Really? Why don't you say it, and run from one woman to another at the same time, why don't you say that you are enjoying it?" Sophie said unceremoniously, "I don't see you saying anything at other times, how come When you directed a movie for me, you started complaining?"

"Okay, dear, I just sighed a little, don't you need to do this?" Adrian quickly raised his hands to explain and comfort, "And I haven't finished talking yet, I really enjoy it, every time Thinking that I can always catch so many inspirations and complete them one after another in a short period of time, and achieve various successes, I am very proud, and I believe this time this movie can also reach my goal. The desired effect and you... the honor you deserve!"

Yes, the new movie is exactly the one prepared for Sophie, about the life of the famous French female singer Edith Piaf, La Vie en Rose! (To be continued..)
