Chapter six hundred and ninety fourth noise
Waiting for Jenny, posing for taking photos, letting the media magazine reporters on the scene take photos, Jenny pulled Song Yang to finish the red carpet. Jenny was on the red carpet, but no one dared to urge her. As the big money owner, the entire crew also had guests participating in the red carpet, and the media reporters on the scene had no objection.
The invited media were very supportive and filmed a lot of Jenny. These media were willing to give Song Yang the face of the big financial backer. As long as Song Yang is still in Hollywood in the future, there will be some news they reported, which is related to Song Yang and may be able to report some exclusive news.
After walking the red carpet, Harvey came up and said to Song Yang with a smile on his face, as if he was sure that the "Matrix" could make a big deal, but Song Yang knew that Harvey was just a flatterer. He had never even entered the editing room of the "Matrix" and it was probably the first time he watched it as a movie today.
Song Yang smiled and nodded, walked into the decorated hall with Spielberg, Coppola, and a group of Italian celebrities.
There were already many people sitting inside, including some movie fans, invited media and reporters, Western Film, Industrial Light and Magic, Vita Special Effects Studio, etc., which participated in the shooting and production of "The Matrix", were all present today.
Kevin Kelly, the famous film consultant, also took a small notebook and sat with a group of film critics, preparing to give the "Matrix" a rating.
Song Yang and Jenny sat on the crew, Ted Shalando, President of Western Films, Comey Nidham, President of IDC, and the Wachowski brothers, etc., sat around Song Yang.
In the screening room, Harvey, Spielberg and others were chatting and laughing with a group of familiar actors, directors, etc. For companies such as Harvey, DreamWorks, Paramount, etc., who participated in the Matrix production, they had already made money. As for the box office of the "Matrix" and whether Western Pictures will lose money, they didn't care so much.
As the lights dimmed, the lights on the big screen began to light up, and Western Film's opening and logo, DreamWorks, and Paramount's logo appeared one after another.
Among the sponsors, there are icq, Alcatel mobile phone, Panda TV, Telecom, Siber sports car, etc., and behind this sponsor, there is an inconspicuous sponsorship figure, Scour!
The Hollywood people in the screening hall did not notice the company at all. Song Yang looked at the scour website for a few more glances.
This is a website established by Kalanick. Song Yang secretly stole it. Through an overseas foundation, he invested a US dollar for Scour, allowing Kalanick to launch mp3, movies and other businesses on Scour website. In fact, it is to launch pirated music and movies, allowing Alcatel mobile phones to launch the second generation of mobile phones. The mp3 software equipped with can be downloaded to music through Scour.com.
The whole Hollywood did not turn its attention to Scour, nor did it think of what Scour would make Hollywood look like!
On the big screen, the movie kicked off, and the noise at the scene gradually subsided. Before seeing this film, the external publicity of "The Matrix" was a science fiction blockbuster, but the promotional film released was a explosive action blockbuster, and the outside world's views on this film are naturally different.
At the beginning of the film, Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, took the lead in appearance, and then had a contact with Trinity, and the plot of the whole film began to unfold.
In future generations, such films in which computers and robots dominate the world and humans are dying, have long been ruined, but for this year when special effects are just emerging, the pictures of these special effects piled up are still very interesting.
Song Yang looked at the scene on the big screen. The plot of this film was basically the same as what he had seen in his previous life. However, with the sufficient budget of Western Film, three consecutive films were filmed together, and the whole plot was more coherent, at least there was no obvious plot problem.
When several action scenes appeared, the highway chase scene specially built for filming appeared, many movie fans at the scene exclaimed.
Spielberg looked at the screen and asked to the side, "This highway is specially built by Western Film?!"
This kind of thing that specializes in building a scene for a film is not uncommon in Hollywood. Many great directors have done it, and Spielberg, who is good at shooting big scenes, is even more familiar with it.
After hearing Spielberg's words, Harvey smiled and said, "Now Hollywood directors like this set. Fox's new film is replicated. I heard that a big ship was used as the shooting scene!"
Listening to Harvey's words, Spielberg, Coppola and others knew what he was referring to, and of course it was the "Titanic" that Fox Pictures and veteran drivers are now filming.
Since the filming started, it has spent tens of millions of dollars in Fox Pictures. As a result, it has not officially started filming yet. It is obvious that the old drivers spend much more money on the Wachowski brothers!
As the plot progresses, the world view of the entire film begins to be displayed. The intersection of virtuality and reality makes the audience who watch the premiere live feel like it is real or illusory.
For ordinary movie fans, what they watch is basically special effects and action scenes, while for film critics, that is only part of the movie.
Kevin Kelly saw Silverman, a film critic sitting on his "New York Times", write and draw in small notebooks from time to time, and sometimes stop writing for a while before recording again.
He himself is the editor of the magazine. Kevin Kelly has also experienced this state when he evaluates a game or software. If he is attracted to attention, it will be like this state.
Unlike the traditional action scenes in Hollywood movies today, the martial arts fingers and supporting roles invited by the "Matrix" from Harbor City this time allow the audience to see the action scenes, which are more elegant. The martial arts movements are absolutely advanced in Hollywood today.
The pursuit of the highway made the movie fans start to scream, and after the movie protagonist Neo and agent Smith met at the subway station, they began to shoot bullets. The protagonist Neo began to believe in his ability, and this scene made the screams on the scene become even more intense.
Kevin Kelly saw this movie scene. This scene was not the most amazing thing in Hollywood movies, but it made him feel special.
Silverman, as well as the surrounding film critics, Spielberg, Coppola, Harvey and others, his expression finally changed a little when he saw this. The scene of this movie is not exciting, but it is a unique style, only belonging to the "Matrix" style!
No matter how the box office of the movie is, when a movie has its own unique style, the movie will be recorded in the history of film and remembered by countless movie fans.
Just as the movie fans, film critics and directors were still watching those action scenes, the Wachowski brothers appeared in the movie scene. They were thinking about it for a long time, but Will Smith didn't understand. It took more than a year for Industrial Light and Magic and Vita Special Effects Studios to polish the "bullet time" scene. The entire venue was quiet for a while, and only the sound and picture of the movie were displayed!
The movie fans on the scene looked at the agent and Neo on the screen, and after dodging bullets, there was silence at first, followed by unstoppable screams.
Many critics who attended the scene were ready to watch a hardcore "science fiction film" when they entered the venue. As a result, they saw a completely action blockbuster. They couldn't say that "The Matrix" was not an objective film. But when they watched the action dramas on the screen, they always felt that the movie seemed a bit injustice...
The first time I saw Harvey, Spielberg, Coppola and others in the film industry, their expressions began to become serious when they saw this. They are all old men in the film industry. If a movie is good or not, they can basically tell the difference between half of the movie.
The plot of the Matrix is not very outstanding, and the concept is not very new. However, from the opening, the plot is progressing step by step, at least there are not many loopholes. This is not common in science fiction films. The biggest selling point of this film, action scenes and special effects, can be understood by just looking at the reaction on the scene.
Just now, Harvey praised Song Yang, but now, Harvey has a feeling that this movie can really be sold!
Kevin Kelly saw the special effects in the movie, even as an ordinary moviemaker, he felt shocked. This shock was just like when he first saw "Star Wars" back then, giving birth to a sense of this kind of movie!
Elias, who was sitting behind the crew, felt a bad feeling after seeing the reaction on the scene. When people from Hollywood saw this film, they basically had a concept in their hearts.
"Congratulations!"
"This is the most exciting movie I've ever seen this year!"
"Larry, Andy, what exactly is the matrix in the Matrix?"
As the film just finished screening, many celebrities began to congratulate the Wachowski brothers, and some film critics began to ask questions to the Wachowski brothers.
The Hollywood stars present are all good people. They all know that once the film is sold well, the Wachowski brothers are probably going to be among the top stars.
"Keanu, Paramount has a new show, what are your interests?"
Keanu Reeves' side, reporters, producers and directors all want to get Keanu Reeves' next film contract.
I only saw that as soon as the lights were turned on, a large number of movie fans ran to Keanu Reeves and wanted to get his signature. I knew how far Keanu Reeves was from becoming popular.
If Keanu Reeves wins the next film contract, with the popularity of the "Matrix", these film companies and producers know everything about it!
"Amc theaters will expand the number of screen canvases released by the "Matrix"!"
After the screening, the heads of several major amc theaters said to Ted Charlando, president of Western Pictures, that this is also a show of goodwill to Western Pictures. If the "Matrix" level can be maintained, then Western Pictures is really possible, like DreamWorks, Lionsgate Pictures, etc., to become a new player in Hollywood!
Song Yang looked at the scene in the venue. After the screening, the fans on the scene did not leave. The reporters and critics kept asking questions to the crew, wanting to dig out more inside information about the movies and actors.
"Continue to promote, Amerika and overseas publicity, don't stop!" Song Yang explained to Ted Shalando, Comey Nidham and others.
The wine is also afraid that the alley is deep, so the publicity that the wine is not bombarded will not attract movie fans to the theater at all.
After the premiere, Western Film held a grand banquet for the crew, invited many media and reporters to build momentum for the "Matrix".
The next day when Song Yang got up from the North Shore Manor of Changdao, Jenny had already gotten out of bed.
"Song!"
As soon as he got off the floor, Jenny took a newspaper and rushed towards Song Yang excitedly, "The Matrix" was released at the box office last night, with a net worth of 6.5 million!"
Song Yang took the newspaper from Jenny and opened it. The homepage was the Matrix propaganda newspaper, which read "The Matrix" first night, and won a box office of 6.5 million US dollars.
This result is not outrageous, but it is just a box office for one night. If you add the box office during the day today, the box office on the first day will definitely explode, exceeding 15 million US dollars, or even sprinting 20 million US dollars. In addition, the box office of "Matrix 1" will exceed 100 million US dollars in America, and there is basically no problem!
"Today's Matrix 1 is officially released in America, London, Tokyo and other globally. The number of screens released in America and America has exceeded 4,400 canvases..."
Cinemas in Los Angeles, New York and other places all started queuing up to watch the scenes of the "Matrix" movie.
When Keanu Reeves appeared to participate in the promotional event, a large number of movie fans heard deafening screams. In just one night, Keanu Reeves became a popular Hollywood fan.
Seeing that the box office might be a big hit, even the media didn't pick too much about her acting skills. In the morning, Jenny excitedly finished her makeup, pulled Haley, and took a few small followers to meet with the crew, preparing to show her face and run for promotion.
While Song Yang was having breakfast, Ted Shalando, Comey Nidham and others came to Song Yang, and Ray Donovan also arrived.
"Boss, Hollywood is now praising Song for your vision!"
Chapter completed!
