Speaking of who wins and who loses at the box office, this war of words is inextricable. In contrast, the parties involved, Yi Feiyang and the Wachowski brothers, have stayed put. Especially the Wachowskis, who have always been arrogant and conceited.
The Ji brothers didn't express much of their opinions, and their behavior was not what they used to be.
It is said that the emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch, but those media reporters are really anxious, eager to dig deeper into the "combat relationship" between Yi Feiyang and the Wachowski brothers.
These bastards, who are afraid of the world being in chaos, are fanning the flames in newspapers and magazines, hoping to lure the snake out of its hole and get one of the two sides to stand up and make some provocations, so that they will have material to write up.
One day passed.
Yi Feiyang and the Wachowski brothers, no one came forward.
Two days passed.
Still no one came forward.
Three days have passed...
Suddenly, a certain media exclusively announced that the Wachowski brothers had something to say through them.
"Oh my god, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore!" The reporters who thought they had failed in fanning the flames secretly wiped their sweat.
Facing the cameras of media reporters, the eldest of the Wachowski brothers began to say: "This time we stand up and just want to say one thing..."
What words?
Swearing at China Yi?
Or is it another provocation?!
Reporters are waiting excitedly...
"In a word... we really want to know who the friend signed 'Mysterious Neo' is?!"
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned. What kind of problem is this?!
"You may have heard that "The Matrix 2" we filmed has been nominated for this year's Oscar. It has been nominated for a very important award in particular, that is Best Screenplay. But unfortunately, this movie is not for me and my brother.
Written by someone else, the real screenwriter is this mysterious man named 'Mysterious Neo'! Yes, that's him! Now, our brothers hope that he can contact us after seeing the news, or come forward,
We are really grateful to him. We hope to walk the red carpet of this year’s Oscars with him! Okay, I’m done, thank you all!”
After the Wachowski brothers finished speaking, they walked away, leaving a large group of media reporters stunned.
After struggling for a long time, they just used their own hands to create a "missing person notice"!
Speechless.
After a while, after a while, a question emerged in everyone's mind: who is the "Mysterious Neo" who is the real screenwriter of "Hackers 2"?!
…
This is a large shipyard, or a huge harbor, and this is the filming location for "Pirates of the Caribbean".
At this moment, our "Mysterious Neo" Yi Feiyang is watching the just-finished footage of "Pirates of the Caribbean" with Lionsgate boss Gusta on the set.
To be honest, Yi Feiyang never expected that the Wachowski brothers would issue a "missing notice" to the news media, let alone that they would be so "honest" and dare to face the media and boldly admit that they did not write the script of "Hackers 2".
I really want to find out this mysterious person. Come and walk the Oscar red carpet together...
A very innocent and romantic idea.
From this point of view, the Wachowski brothers can be regarded as "kindred spirits" and not mortal enemies.
Of course, Yi Feiyang had no time to care about this at the moment. He was worried about "Pirates of the Caribbean" that he was filming.
Although Yi Feiyang is not the director of this film, he is half the boss of the film. The other half boss is Gusta from Lionsgate Pictures.
Seeing Gusta looking at the filming clips calmly, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but secretly admire him. He is indeed a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. Look at how calm and calm his expression is.
In fact, Comrade Lao Gu was even more nervous than him at this moment. While watching the replay, he even broke several of his beautiful beards.
The scene being played back is very interesting. It tells the story of Captain Jack, who had to cooperate with a group of guys he despised in order to recapture his Black Pearl pirate ship, and then prepared to go to sea to fight. Before setting off, he said to the missionary
: "Mr. Missionary... If there is anything wrong with me in this line of work, I hope you can remember... Listen up... I am completely ready to convert to any faith, which will allow me to follow those good old people.
Do you understand where we should go after we pull up our braids?"
From this short sentence, it shows that Captain Jack is bohemian, not serious, and takes his faith as a child's play, which also highlights his rough characteristics as a "pirate".
Of course, after this scene is over, there is a battle on the big ship. There are more than 300 shots in total, almost all of which are battle scenes, and most of them are night scenes. Fighting on the deck with torches, fighting on the sail pole, etc.
It can be said that there are endless exciting scenes of fighting in the cabin.
Let's talk about the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". The director is Hollywood's "unlucky man" Gore Verbinski, and the starring role is Hollywood's "bad boy" Johnny Depp. Among them, director Gore has a precedent of ruining the movie, and Depp's lawsuit
Due to their obsession with each other, their new drama was banned, so Yi Feiyang labeled them as the "black pot group".
Gusta has great confidence in Yi Feiyang, but not enough confidence in this "black pot combination"...
According to Yi Feiyang's suggestion, this film can be said to be created by the original cast of the previous film. Since it is a fantasy film, the cost is relatively high. In terms of special effects lenses alone, Industrial Light and Magic designed five to six hundred lenses.
A special effects shot, and in terms of shooting locations, we even rented a coastal shipyard and many spacious leisure resorts nearby. The money alone is already tens of millions. Do you think it can make Gusta not nervous?
?
Gusta is a banker by background, and his rule for using money is that it is best to break a penny in half and spend it in order to create economic benefits.
Some people say that the way to get rich in business is nothing more than four words, that is---increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. However, from Gusta's point of view, increasing revenue is far less practical than reducing expenditure, because when you save one cent, you
It's like making a penny.
Gusta's caution gave him high hopes for this "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie.
But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
That's why he cares so much and is so nervous.
In fact, the ones who were more nervous than Gusta were director Gore and starring Depp who were hiding behind the two of them and keeping an eye on the expressions of Yi Feiyang and Gusta.
Director Gore bit the corner of the shooting script and nervously asked Depp, who was slightly shorter than himself, "Man, do you think they will like the footage we shot?"
"It's... it's hard to say," Depp said. "You have to know that China Yi is also a director, and he's a very good one. God, his movie "Dance Floor" has a box office of over 700 million. Seven
Can Director Yi’s level of appreciation be lower?”
"So I'm nervous. If I fail again this time, I'll just jump into the sea here!" Gore thought about how hard it was for him to wait for the opportunity to direct a blockbuster. If he failed again, he would really be embarrassed to see others.
How could Depp not understand what Gore meant, so he had to comfort him and said: "Okay, man, don't be nervous, relax. You see, they look at it so seriously. This means that our filming is great. Yes,
That must be it!”
"I hope so!" Director Gore nodded.
After a while, seeing that Yi Feiyang and Gusta still had no reaction, Gore became a little anxious, scratched his head and asked again: "Man, tell me the truth, am I really bad?!
Depp shook his head and said, "No, my friend, in my opinion, you are a talented director. Just like me, although I am bohemian and suave, my inner talent shines brightly, and I am like a pearl sunk at the bottom of the sea.
Sooner or later, you will shine brightly! Please believe me, man, one day you will make the whole Hollywood look up to you!" Depp said many words in one breath, which made his already pale cheeks look even paler.
Gore didn't expect Depp to be so encouraging. He was so excited that he held Depp's hand tightly and said, "You're right, man. I shouldn't give up on myself because of bad luck. Yes, I want to seize it."
This is an opportunity to show off my talents!”
Seeing the two people muttering so "heatily" behind his back, Gusta, who was sitting in front watching the samples, couldn't bear it any longer and frowned: "I'm sorry, you two, can you keep your voices down a little bit?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Depp stuck out his tongue.
Next to him, Yi Feiyang said: "It doesn't matter, I've almost finished watching it."
As soon as Yi Feiyang said that he had almost finished watching it, Gore hurriedly asked, "What are your opinions on the filming of this scene?"
Who is Yi Feiyang? He has just reached the level of a great director. Gore still needs to be humble and ask for advice from him.
Gusta also wanted to know what Yi Feiyang thought. After all, in addition to being an investor, he was also an expert.
"Yes, Yi, this drama was planned by you and you also wrote the script. How do you think they filmed it?" Gusta asked.
Yi Feiyang pondered for a moment and said: "Then let me tell the truth, Gore, before I evaluate your play, I have a question to ask you, what is a director?"
"Ah?" Gore was stunned. Is this a problem? It's too simple!
"The director is the person who shoots the movie. He organizes the entire crew to shoot the movie. Only by following the director's orders can everyone take action to complete the work."
"Is that just this?" Yi Feiyang asked.
"Then what else?" Gore didn't understand.
Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "In my opinion, that's not the case... You know, film is a comprehensive art, and the director is just the executor, not the soul, let alone a god! Every person is not called upon by him.
not as a tool, but as a creator with his own unique consciousness!”
Gusta, who had been listening silently next to him, nodded.
Johnny Depp, who rarely calmed down, even agreed: "I agree with this view. We actors are not tools, we also have thoughts and souls! Yi, what you said is really good, I appreciate you!" (
