Chapter 236. [Battle for Oscar]

Since everyone is a director, they still have to fight each other. It just so happens that the Wachowski brothers are preparing the movie script of "The Matrix 3" again. If it follows the trajectory of the previous life, they will have to polish this movie.

After all, good scripts are hard to come by, and inspiration takes time to generate. But they were lucky enough to get along with Yi Feiyang, lucky enough to be able to chat with Yi Feiyang, and even more lucky that Yi Feiyang admired them, so he directed "

The script of "Hackers 3" gives some of its own "suggestions".

If you are an outsider, listening to Yi Feiyang's suggestions will definitely be as difficult to understand as listening to the bible. But the Wachowski brothers are different. They are the creators of the drama "Hackers". Yi Feiyang uses it to continue "Hackers 1"

and the story of "Hackers 2" to explain their suggestions for "Hackers 3". For them, these are simply "golden ideas"!

In fact, this "The Matrix 3: Final Battle" is not only Neo's final battle, but also the final battle of director Wachowski: whether they can create a classic and last forever in film history depends on this final episode.

According to Yi Feiyang's intention, the first episode of "Hacker" mainly discusses "birth", so it will give people a strong sense of freshness and original appeal; the second episode is about "life", so it is complicated and has many clues.

The third episode is about "death", so it will condense emotions and show tragedy. Whether in Christianity or Buddhist teachings, "death" is not the end of everything, it is another brand new beginning, so Yi Feiyang suggested that this

The theme cuts into the script, "Death equals a new beginning"!

Such a philosophical sentence stirred up the minds of the Wachowski brothers. They have always been proud of making philosophical science fiction films, rather than simply shooting and killing. Yi Feiyang's suggestion is in line with their

mind.

Next, Yi Feiyang gave his own views on the climax of the drama at the end.

If you remember correctly, the final battle of "Hackers 3" in the previous life can definitely be regarded as a classic among classics.

Let's talk about the end of the "Hackers" series. It comes down to the final showdown between Neo and Smith. And this battle also created the highest level of personal battles ever performed by humans.

The showdown started on a rainy street. Both sides of the road were lined with replicas of Smith. They had different expressions, but they all stared at Neo fiercely. In addition to the classic "welcome speech", Smith also roughly expressed his fearless spirit.

, "We are here just to watch a show, because we know we are sure to win" and so on. Then the two of them struck the first punch at almost the same speed. Their energy became stronger and stronger, and Yuan Baye had to create a new punch accordingly.

They created a "shock wave" to show their unparalleled power. The two fought from the streets to an altitude of 2,500 feet, and composed an aerial ballet to the accompaniment of lightning and thunder; the two entangled guys then hit the sky.

Inside the building, and going in and out of it, causing a lot of damage; the final battle took place below the ground in a huge concrete pit caused by the strong shock wave of the two people. A personal duel that shook the entire earth finally ended!

Don't blame the plot for being exaggerated, think about it. The fate of the human and non-human worlds are all decided in those few dozen minutes. How can it be enjoyable without shaking the earth and the mountains?

According to the memory of his previous life, Yi Feiyang took advantage of his high mood and told the "final battle" part in great detail.

Yi Feiyang talked so much that the Wachowski brothers listened with gusto and couldn't stop.

Until Yi Feiyang finished talking about "World War", the two lively brothers were still immersed in the story Yi Feiyang weaved. Their eyes were blurred and they were intoxicated.

After a moment, they finally woke up from the plot. The Wachowski brothers gave a thumbs up, and their first words were: "Yi, we are completely convinced by you!"

Facing this scene, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the Wachowski brothers would have such a big reaction. He was just talking too much and couldn't help but play "spoiler", but he didn't expect that he would convince them.

"Yi, we have to say that we admire you from now on. Yes, you are the real talent in Hollywood. You are talented and full of beauty. We are not as good as you!" The Wachowski brothers stared at Yi Feiyang.

Said with a very sincere attitude.

Yi Feiyang had never been praised like this in person. His old face couldn't help but blush.

What a talented guy, we can learn from it too!

"Don't say that, I just said some of my opinions casually..." Yi Feiyang was rarely humble.

"No, your casual talk has already made us brothers enlightened. If you say it seriously, wouldn't it shock us?" Although the Huobao brothers are very difficult to deal with, they have obviously begun to admire Yi Feiyang at this moment.

Yi Feiyang did not expect this result, so he could only smile and said: "Okay, since we are all friends, we should help each other, right?"

"Haha, you said this, dear Yi, we want to help each other, so please help us write the script of "Hackers 3"!"

"Ah, what?" Yi Feiyang was stunned.

What is cocooning oneself?

That’s it!

"Don't worry, we will pay you enough, but you have to offer a friendly price!" The Wachowski brothers took the opportunity to say.

Yi Feiyang is speechless.

But they immediately had an idea and said: "I can help you write the script, but I don't want any royalties. I want to cooperate with you and film this movie together!"

"Ah, let's work together?" This time it was the Wachowski brothers' turn to get upset again.

"Yeah, didn't you say we are friends? Since we are friends, this little thing should be no problem, right?" Yi Feiyang looked at them with a smile.

"But...our first two movies were both invested and filmed by Warner Bros., and our cooperation with them was very successful..."

"Oh no, no, no, you misunderstood me. I didn't tell you to terminate your contract with Warner Bros., I just wanted to invest a little money in it so that we can all work together to make movies!"

"Oh, that's it, it shocked us." The Wachowski brothers exhaled and said, "This is a small problem. Our investment in this movie is estimated to be over 100 million, so you invest some money from Warner

It’s also something you can’t ask for.”

"Haha, if this is the case, then I will invest 30 million US dollars." Yi Feiyang knows very well that although the box office of "Hackers 3" will not be as good as the previous two movies in the future, the total box office will still exceed 400 million US dollars. According to the investment

In terms of coefficients, it is definitely a profitable business. With an investment of 30 million U.S. dollars, you can earn back at least 10 million with interest!

Today's Yi Feiyang is no longer the ambitious man who wanted to eat big fat in one bite. For him, whether it is big money or small money, he should seize the opportunity to put it in his pocket. It is precisely because of this that Yi Feiyang will continue to make money.

Investing in Google websites, investing in Hilton hotels, investing in Trump real estate, and recently investing in Lagerfeld's fashion brand clothing, and now "Hackers 3"...

When things were explained clearly, both parties couldn't help but be happy. Yi Feiyang helped them write the script, and then everyone invested in filming the third part. The previous grudges disappeared in the laughter. Since then, Yi Feiyang has had another couple in Hollywood.

Good brother.



Time flies.

On March 22, the annual Oscars event is about to be held. The entire Hollywood has turned into a sea of ​​joy, and many American and foreign media have gathered here to pay attention to this exciting awards event.

Some people have said that the Oscars represent the most powerful awards package in the world of film, and are more important than the Golden Globes and Golden Lions.

Some people also say that if you are an actor and have not won an Oscar, then you are not a real actor; if you are a director and have not won an Oscar, then you are not a real great director.

This shows how sacred and important Oscar's status is in everyone's mind.

Of course, since it is an awards ceremony for the whole people to celebrate, of course, the media's shouting is indispensable.

"Oscar, this is the Oscar! A visual feast worthy of five stars!" ---"USA Today"

"Celebrities gathering, people's carnival!" --- "Los Angeles Times"

"The Oscars set off America again tonight!" --- "Times"

"Who rules the day? The Oscars are about to be unveiled!" --- "The New York Times"

All of a sudden, all major mainstream media have focused on tonight's Oscars ceremony. Not to mention the celebrities attending the ceremony, the Oscar nominations alone are enough for the media to dig out countless revelations.

"I'm very optimistic about the movie "The Green Mile", yes. It touched me and made me see life and hope!"

"I'm very optimistic about the movie "American Beauty." How can I put it? Although the subject matter is very incest, the director's starting point is very good. Middle-aged uncles like us, who doesn't have a Lolita plot?"

"Oh, how can I put it, I prefer to watch science fiction movies, but science fiction movies have never been popular at the Oscars, so we can only wait and see whether "The Matrix 2" can win the Oscar award!"



"In this annual event, I only pay attention to Oscar winners and actresses. Yes, I guess Tom Hanks will win the award this time. The old judges all like him, don't they?"

"We friends are very interested in the best screenwriter. Yes, we really want to know who can win the Oscar for the best screenwriter. God, I am optimistic about China Yi. The stories he writes are all great!"

"Let's take a look at "Dance Floor." Everyone speculates that it will be the dark horse of this Oscar. Of course, it is a pity that it only has four nominations..."

The media, audiences, and super fans all expressed their opinions on the interview camera.

Those filmmakers who are watched by audiences and fans feel a lot of pressure. However, after working hard for so long, hope is ahead!



This year's 72nd Oscars will still be held at the Sherland Theater. This will also be the last time. Starting next year, the Oscars will use the newly built Kodak Theater. For this reason, this year's organizers worked very hard, and the guests also

It's quite a show of respect. More than 2,800 invited celebrities will attend, and the absence rate is the lowest in history. Therefore, compared with last year, the Avenue of Stars catwalk will be unveiled 30 minutes earlier, and the number of people participating in the red carpet show will be the highest ever.

The highest, this year's Oscars are extremely grand.

Among the absentees, the person who gets the most media attention is naturally Leonardo, the popular bombshell who became famous with "Titanica", but this is no big deal. The Oscars will never lack focus and people who receive attention.

and news, it can be said that any person is just a quicksand in front of 2,800 superstars.

The red carpet outside the Shenandoah Theater was bustling with people. There were beautiful stars in suits and dresses everywhere, media reporters, staff and others with cameras, cameras, etc. The stars were laughing and showing off their beautiful side.



Tom Hanks, dressed in a black suit, was looking out the window in a stretched Lincoln car, with his wife and son sitting next to him. Today should be a happy day. As a candidate for Best Actor, he is attending the Oscars with his family.

, what a great thing, but he is always a little nervous in his heart, and so is his family.

Because the competition for Oscar nominations this time is too fierce. Kevin Spacey of "American Beauty", Sean Penn of "Sweet Ending", and Russell Crowe of "The Insider" can be said to be competing.

The opponent is too strong.

"Dad, if you don't win the award this time, will you cry?" The neatly dressed and handsome little Tom suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Tom Hanks, and asked with interest: "If it were me,

I won’t cry. I will let my mother make sweet pumpkin cakes for me. I think eating pumpkin cakes is more interesting than winning awards, don’t you think so?”

Tom Hanks and his wife looked at each other and smiled. Although they both knew that children's words are innocent, little Tom's innocent and romantic words still made them laugh.

Tom Hanks patted his son on the shoulder and smiled: "Man, you are right, if I don't win the prize, I will ask your mother to make a big pumpkin pie, and then you and I will share it,

What do you think?"

"Cool, this is so cool! Oh God, now I really want to pray that you don't win the prize!" Little Tom held his hands in a prayer gesture.

"Silly boy!" The wife reached out and stroked little Tom's head, and held Tom Hanks' hand tightly with her other hand.

Of course Tom Hanks understands what his wife means, and a warmth wells up in his heart. Yes, trophies are nothing, only the happiness of his family is the most worthwhile thing to be happy about.

Just thinking about this, the driver, assistant and others in front of them all reminded that "it's almost here", and the Tom Hanks family immediately gathered their spirits and happily prepared for the next red carpet show.

When the extended Lincoln stopped and the door opened, the Hanks family was greeted by a dazzling flash of light and a rattling sound. Reporters not far away were shouting, and the flashes from the cameras in their hands were filled with

The entire Avenue of Stars.



This is just one scene among the many nominees participating in the Oscar ceremony. In fact, many people are very nervous and excited. However, when it comes to walking on the Oscar red carpet, they or they appear so dazzling and calm.

By the way, the Oscar red carpet has always been a main battleground for fame and beauty. As long as you are a star, are brave enough to walk on it, and can attract everyone's attention, even if you are not well-known before, you can become famous overnight!

Therefore, as a place of fame and popularity, the Oscar red carpet has become a venue for many stars to compete for beauty, especially female stars, who regard this moment as the best opportunity to attract attention and compete for status.

Stunning backless outfits, sexy lace cutout outfits, and highly see-through outfits that only cover the butt and breasts. All kinds of sexy and charming outfits emerge in endlessly. It can be said that this is an extremely glamorous event and a competition among all the fragrances.

Gorgeous event.

However, among the many female stars, the one who has received the most attention is the big-mouthed beauty Julia Roberts. This time she was nominated for Best Actress for "Notting Hill". Judging from her acting skills, she is definitely worthy of praise.

But it is a pity that, like Tom Hanks, the lineup of actresses competing with her for the Best Actress this time is too strong, including Annette Bening in "American Beauty" and the actress in "Boys Don't Cry"

Hilary Swank, etc. In the words of the majority of the media, these women are not good, not to mention that the role played by Julia Roberts this time is not too difficult...basically she is playing herself,

She is lucky enough to be nominated. As for winning the award, I'm afraid no one thinks highly of her.

However, not being optimistic does not mean not paying attention. As one of the most popular female stars in Hollywood today, Julia is definitely very popular.

At this moment, Julia was wearing a black strapless dress on the red carpet of the Oscars, with a faint smile on her face, but her heart was filled with an empty feeling. She originally thought this was a day worth remembering, but every time she thought about it in the future,

She would feel very happy when she got up, even if she couldn't win the Best Actress award, it didn't matter. But now, being ridiculed by the media with ulterior motives made her feel extremely depressed.

"Julia, some people say that you are playing yourself in "Notting Hill". What do you think about this?"

"Some people say that your acting skills have not improved at all and you are just grinning. It is amazing to be nominated for an Oscar. What do you think about this?"



For these sarcastic interviews, Julia could only respond with a sweet smile, yes. In her heart, she wished she could punch these guys so many times that their nostrils would bleed.

But whether it's for her personal image among movie fans or the Oscar jury; or for the fame of "Notting Hill", she needs to stay here until the awards ceremony and the end of Oscar night. It's really annoying.

.

"Hello, Julia. We found you." The on-site interview reporter from the broadcaster ABC TV walked over with a smile. She was a middle-aged white woman holding a microphone. Behind her was a photographer carrying a camera.

This is not just a behind-the-scenes video before the evening's national live broadcast, viewers in more than 100 countries around the world will see it, and this video will be circulated forever.

Julia looked at her and smiled: "Hi!"

The blonde female reporter pointed the microphone at her and asked with a smile: "How are you feeling now?"

Julia pulled her hair around her ears and smiled calmly and elegantly: "This is not the first time I have participated in the Oscars, but this time it is definitely the most exciting. But on the other hand, you know our drama is a comedy.

, is not favored by many judges, who are keen on tragedies or biographies..."

Over there, there were many superstars on the red carpet. Hollywood golden boy Tom Cruise appeared with his girlfriend on his arm. It attracted waves of applause, and then came Keanu Reeves, the upstart in the film industry. With the "Hackers" series, he has become today's most popular star.

An actor with commercial value, and together with Leonardo, he squeezed into the 20 million club and became a hot and popular superstar.

Look, when Levi's appeared, the buzz became louder and louder than before, which shows how popular he is now.

In comparison, when bad boy Johnny Depra walked the red carpet with his friend Nicolas Cage, their attention was not as strong as Levi's alone.

"Hey, Depp, don't hold my hand. People think I'm having sex with you!" Nicholas whispered.

"This makes us look friendly, it's okay!"

"Having said that, the look in the eyes of those reporters clearly shows that they have misunderstood!"

"If you misunderstand, let it go. You and I are pure!"

"Oh, damn!"



As many male stars appeared one by one, those female stars competing for beauty came even more.

Brooke Shields, Demi Moore, and Angelina Jolie, etc., the spotlights are constantly flashing, and so many beauties are posing in front of the camera, showing their best side.

It can be said that none of the handsome men and beauties in this Oscar are bad actors. All of them are veteran players in Vanity Fair, and they deeply understand the importance of grabbing eyeballs and making headlines.

In comparison, the big directors who participated in the Orcas seemed much calmer. Compared with their appearance, few of the directors were handsome, either with big beards or slovenly, but what was important to them was their appearance.

It’s temperament and talent!

Of course, the most eye-catching among these directors are of course George Lucas, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, and Peter Jackson among the four major directors in Hollywood.

George Lucas became famous with "Star Wars" and is known as the father of Star Wars. James Cameron dominated the box office with "Titanic" and is known as the box office king. As for Steven Spielber

Peter Jackson is famous for "Jaws", but he is most proud of war films such as "Schindler's List", so he is regarded as a great historical director. The last Peter Jackson is good at shooting black fantasy movies.

"Zombies Across the World" became famous, and later created the magical masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings".

It can be said that these four great directors are like the cornerstones of Hollywood, and they are also like the evil spirits, poisons, southern emperors and beggars in Chinese martial arts novels. Their appearance on the red carpet can certainly set off the whole audience.
