As soon as he sat down, he heard someone calling him.
"Mr. Xu, it is indeed you."
Xu Mo turned around and saw a somewhat familiar man, but he couldn't remember who it was.
It's probably because we don't meet often.
"Film critic, Yan Yu." Yan Yu said with a smile, "Two months ago, your movie was released and you invited me."
"Long time no see." Xu Mo also smiled and asked, "Were you invited by Penguin Film and Television today?"
"Yes, I just didn't expect to meet Mr. Xu." Yan Yu said, "Given the relationship between Longteng Entertainment and Xingdong Entertainment, I thought you wouldn't come."
"There is nothing unexpected. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle." Xu Mo said nonchalantly.
"That's true."
Yan Yu sat down next to him and said, "Penguin Movies and Star Entertainment, I'm also curious about the quality."
"Are you optimistic about them?" Xu Mo asked.
"Not very optimistic about it."
Yan Yu told the truth, "If you change the subject, such as the comedy that Song Yu is good at, I think it would be interesting, but you know the science fiction of Daxia, it's hard to say."
"really."
Xu Mo found someone he agreed with and felt much better.
Since the success of Song Yu's "Unfortunate Journey" and "Chinatown", most people think that Song Yu is good at comedy.
At most, add an idol drama and a martial arts drama.
But before Song Yu, there were too many filmmakers who tried to do science fiction but failed.
There's no reason this twenty-year-old would succeed.
The two chatted quietly for a while, until the big screen lit up.
Because it is led by Penguin Film and Television, the beginning of the film is a naive penguin, followed by the Star Entertainment icon.
"I heard that Xingdong Entertainment invested one-third, is it true?" Yan Yu asked.
Investment is a relatively confidential matter.
Most people won't know.
Moreover, Penguin Film and Television and Xingdong Entertainment have not conducted publicity.
"It's true." Xu Mo said.
As a senior executive of Longteng Entertainment, it is relatively simple to find out this information.
"You are indeed young and energetic."
Yan Yu shook his head and said, "If I were Song Yu, it would be enough just to get the actor's salary and screenwriter's share. There is no risk. No matter what the box office is, I will get the money I deserve."
Xu Mo thought secretly, so you are not Song Yu.
He has studied this young man, he is quite bold, and his vision is precise, as if he can see into the future.
Therefore, he always had an ominous premonition about "The Matrix" and was afraid that something might happen.
The movie credits end and the official scene enters.
The battle between the heroine and the agent.
Xu Mo raised his eyebrows.
To be honest, it was well shot, the action design is top-notch, and it looks very cool.
But where is the science fiction?
After the war, it turned to the male protagonist.
He actually is really a hacker.
Xu Mo seems to know why the film is called "The Matrix".
"Is it a virtual reality game that is very popular recently?" Yan Yu suddenly said.
The so-called virtual reality game is probably when consciousness enters the game.
For example, "Sword Art Online".
At this time, Xu Mo and Yan Yu believed that the science fiction part of "The Matrix" was that the male protagonist entered the online world through technology.
The male protagonist was quickly caught by the agents.
During the interrogation, the agent sealed the male protagonist's mouth with a wave of his hand.
This plot almost made Xu Mo laugh out loud.
Science fiction turned into fantasy.
So young.
"What operation is this?"
Yan Yu was also puzzled.
To seal your mouth, you don't use tape or other tools, but the two lips are melted together directly.
Although science fiction is science fiction, your fantasy no longer belongs to the category of science.
The hero soon met Malphite.
A classic scene appears.
Blue pill and red pill.
If you eat the former, you can forget everything and continue to live happily.
If you eat the latter, you will see the real world.
The male protagonist took the red pill.
The body in the mother's womb dissolves and wakes up from reality.
Countless nutrition cabins appeared in front of the audience.
At this time, many people finally understood the story and showed expressions of surprise and shock.
"So that's it!" Yan Yu suddenly raised his voice.
Xu Mo didn't say anything. He just felt that the drink had no taste.
The scene just now was full of special effects.
Of course the special effects are secondary, the important thing is the dramatic reversal of the plot.
And it's not obtrusive.
Completely explained everything that had happened before.
Later, after the male protagonist learned the truth about the world, he began to learn martial arts from Malphite.
Because they are in the mother body, these martial arts also look very magical.
At least it attracted the audience.
Xu Mo looked at the reactions around him and felt helpless in his heart.
Up to now, "The Matrix" is a quite qualified science fiction film.
He could only pray that something bad would happen later.
But no.
The excitement has just begun.
The rebels have a traitor.
After the male protagonist met the prophet, he was attacked by agents.
Eventually Malphite was caught.
In order to save him, the male protagonist and the female protagonist break in together to fight the agents.
This shootout and fighting scene is full of action, and the classic use of bullet time appears.
The male protagonist was defeated by the agent, but was rescued by the female protagonist. He was immediately cheated, and his mother's body turned into a code in his eyes, and he finally defeated the agent.
The movie ends.
"Song Yu may have made an incredible movie." Yan Yu took a deep breath and said.
"..." Xu Mo didn't want to speak.
"There should be some Easter eggs." Yan Yu looked around, but no one left.
The reason is simple, there are too many unsolved mysteries.
Such as a prophet.
Another example is why the male protagonist suddenly cheated.
But Easter eggs are Easter eggs, and it can make almost everyone stay and wait, which also means that the first part conquered them.
Xu Mo felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
His only idea now is to retire "Sword of No Return".
Because if you encounter "The Matrix", you will really lose everything.
But he also understood that it was too late.
Time is too short.
And if you withdraw, you will lose more things.
For example, offending movie theaters or losing popularity among audiences is also not in compliance with the regulations of the literary and art association.
"Sure enough, the easter egg is talking about the second part."
Yan Yu said with emotion, "It's amazing that with such a big investment, you dare to plan a sequel before the results come out."
If it were him, he wouldn't dare.
He will immediately think about whether he will get his money back, instead of thinking about the plot of the next movie.
Xu Mo looked at "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" on the big screen and didn't know what to say.
The ambition that cannot be hidden is already ready to come out.
Song Yu wants to be a pioneer in Daxia science fiction movies.
Once successful, he will definitely gain a foothold in movies.
And now we are only one step away from success.
As long as "The Matrix" is officially released, as long as the market responds well... the result will be absolutely unacceptable to Longteng Entertainment.
"Mr. Xu, I'll take the first step."
Yan Yu felt a little gloating at this time.
He understood Xu Mo's discomfort, after all, his face turned blue.
But he is a film critic, so it was quite interesting to see this scene.
Xu Mo left the cinema in a hurry.
A huge crisis lies in front of Longteng Entertainment and Summit Entertainment.
How to deal with it specifically.
He couldn't think of a way at the moment.
The first movie premiere starts at 7pm and ends at 10:30pm.
In less than ten minutes, the number one hot search has been arranged.
Of course, it is the operation of Penguin Film and Television.
It's very simple to buy hot searches.
[The rating of "The Matrix" is as high as 9.9 points.]
When the movie is released, Skynet Movies, a professional movie software, will open the rating.
Anyone who has purchased a movie ticket can rate it.
"The Matrix" was screened on demand, but it was considered a release, so the ratings were open.
The score at this time is an astonishing 9.9 points.
"Are you crazy? For a science fiction movie with a score of 9.9, did Penguin Pictures buy a navy film?"
"I suspect that all the people watching the movie are Song Yu fans. If that's the case, a score of 9.9 would be normal."
"9.9 points, can it be any more false? If it were true, I would live broadcast my second brother fighting with an electric fan."
When the hot search first came out, the comments below were all one-sided and unbelievable.
The critical reversal was the film critic’s article half an hour later.
There aren't any bad reviews, it's so hyped.
It's like Penguin Pictures stuffed them with money, and it's a big price.
In addition to film critics, lucky viewers also came forward to speak out.
"A true science fiction blockbuster!"
"Brother Yu, the eternal god!"
"If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. It's really easy to see the explosion!"
But because the exaggeration is so exaggerated, most people are hesitant to believe it.
Fortunately, it will be released globally in a few days.
Whether it is true or false, it will all show its true form.
weekend.
When "The Matrix" was causing a stir, the second episode of "The Masked Singer" was launched.
Wen Rensi once again won the championship with "My Deskmate".
After it ended, netizens joked that the red rose was once again carried away by the song.
In fact, that's exactly what happened.
Song Yu's existence gave other contestants of "The King of Masked Singer" a strong sense of crisis.
Fortunately, Wen Rensi's strength is not as good as Song Yu's.
Otherwise, the situation in the first season may be repeated again.
New Monday.
Song Yu received a new competition theme for "The King of Masked Singer".
ballad.
To be honest, listening to people's thoughts is a bit dangerous.
Ballads are usually plain and simple.
But the more this happens, the harder it is to excel.
In the first round, Wenren Thoughts has to break through, which is quite uncertain.
However, Song Yu did not interfere.
If you rely on him for everything, you will not make progress by listening to people's thoughts.
It will be good for her to be hit a little bit, and it will make her understand that it is true that there are good songs, but you are not worthy of them now.
After thinking about it, Song Yu gave Wen Rensi a ballad, "Nan Shan Nan".
The second season of "The Masked Singer" didn't attract that much attention this time.
The reason is that "The Matrix" stole too much popularity.
The astonishing ratings after screening have been causing endless debate among netizens.
Most people think that it was caused by Penguin Film and Television and Xingdong Entertainment spending money.
Because no one believed that Daxia’s science fiction movies would suddenly reach this point.
It's like the "Three-Body Problem" appeared out of nowhere in the previous life.
July 1st.
"The Matrix" is released worldwide.
In addition to Daxia, there are also countries such as Ame, UEFA, and Korea.
Judging from past box office performance, Daxia and Ami are the largest ticket holders.
Song Yu focused on the latter.
As for the former, it is no exaggeration to say that there is really no opponent.
The only one that is relatively good is Longteng Entertainment's "No Return of the Sword".
And Ami's opponent is more powerful.
The most competitive among them is a war science fiction film called "Galaxy Empire".
It's probably equivalent to "Star Wars" in its previous life.
Ami has a very long history and is a super big IP.
So far, four movies have been made, all of which have achieved good box office success.
The highest-grossing movie currently ranks 21st in global box office, with a box office of 1.2 billion.
This "Galaxy Empire" is even more powerful in terms of lineup.
Starring Macao Conrad, America's most popular action star.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Tom Cruise of this world.
To be honest, except for Song Yu, almost no one is optimistic about "The Matrix".
Including Penguin Film and Television.
This is not to say that the quality of "The Matrix" is not good, but that almost none of Daxia's movies have achieved high box office in America.
the reason is simple.
Xenophobia and cultural differences.
Only Song Yu understands that "The Matrix" is an authentic American movie.
Speaking of culture, most people in Daxia are actually indifferent to the various philosophical and religious ideas contained in this movie.
But it is different abroad, and it will definitely arouse a lot of resonance.
Night falls.
Longteng Entertainment.
Xu Mo looked at the watch on his wrist anxiously, hoping that the time would go faster so that he could confirm the box office of "The Matrix".
For this reason, he didn't even attend the premiere of "No Return of the Sword".
In his opinion, if "The Matrix" is really as good as the spot screenings and still maintains a high reputation, then "The Matrix" is destined to fail miserably.
It is no longer necessary to attend the premiere.
The time slowly reached half past ten.
At this time, the first scene of the movie has been played completely.
The data that comes out can probably tell the future direction.
Xu Mo opened the software, Skynet Movies.
It was like being struck by lightning.
"The Matrix" 400 million.
What the hell is this concept?
And the most outrageous thing is that the score has not changed at all, it is still 9.9.
This means that most of the 400 million viewers who watched the first game gave high scores.
Xu Mo looked at the box office of other movies.
Well, it adds up to 400 million.
"Haha, everyone must die!"
Xu Mo turned off his cell phone, lay on his office chair, and began to give up on himself.
It's only an hour.
Crazy, crazy, all crazy.
In fact, there is indeed an air of madness permeating the Internet.
"I announce that Daxia science fiction movies will rise from today!"
"After Brother Yu came out of the nutrition cabin, the plot started to soar, and there was no peeing throughout the whole process!"
"At first I thought it was a pseudo-science fiction movie, but later I realized that I was really too young."
"The choice between the red pill and the blue pill is a classic."
"If it were you, would you like to wake up?"
On the first day of its release, "The Matrix" occupied five of the top ten hot searches.
Good reputation and box office success.
Even the plot has been discussed repeatedly.
For a time, "The Matrix" was unparalleled in the limelight.
As the leading actor and screenwriter, Song Yu has gained a great reputation in the film industry.
But what many people don’t know is that it’s not just Daxia.
"The Matrix" is already brewing huge surprises in Aramco and other countries.
