Chapter 386 The Matrix
At this premiere, Ryan completely handed over the initiative to the Weinstein brothers. He himself didn't even leave the red carpet and entered the theater's front hall early.
Not only Hollywood celebrities, but also representatives of several advertising implanters, such as Motorola mobile phones, Apple computers, and Ray-Ban glasses.
In addition, there are people from General Motors, and the movies use all the car brands under General Motors.
Unlike Warner Bros. in his previous life, after Jenkins Film released the news, many brands took the initiative to find it. After FedEx and Wilson Sports Equipment were released, the sharply rising business volume also gave them great confidence and enthusiasm.
Although Ryan did not star in the movie himself, the heroine is his only relative. Will Ryan Jenkins hand over the failed work to Nicole Kidman?
The first part of "The Matrix" has not yet been released, and the advertising revenue alone has recovered more than half of the production costs. As long as the first part is successful, these brands still want to appear in the next two parts, so pay more.
These are big customers who will pay in the future. The Weinstein brothers entered the theater early and chatted and laughed with them. Ryan kept greetings to the people entering the theater. It was not until a long time later that Nicole walked in with her partner Keanu Reeves in the movie.
"Keanu, thank you for your motorcycle." Ryan greeted him, the actor who played Neo, had a thick beard at this time, waved his hand at him, "You're welcome."
Just after the post-production of the film ended, Keanu Reeves used some of the pay he had received to buy a heavy Prince Harley motorcycle for each of the main members of the crew, including him and Nicole.
Many people cannot understand the life and way of thinking of this Hollywood star. Of course, most Hollywood stars have quirks, and he is not the most prominent one.
"Keanu's sister has leukemia and he donated a lot of money to the relevant medical institutions."
Ryan and the other side walked towards the other side. Because they had been filming together for a full year, Nicole knew him better, "His girlfriend is said to be pregnant and is still taking drugs."
"This is Keanu's private matter." Ryan reminded.
As far as he knows, Keanu Reeves was also an addict, and it was not until his friend Revan Phoenix died of excessive doses that he gradually quit drug addiction.
"I'll introduce you to a friend."
Nicole pulled him for a moment, and the two walked to a middle-aged actor, "Hi, Russell."
"Hello, Nicole. Hello, Ryan."
The other party reached out and introduced himself, "Russell Clow, like Nicole, comes from Australia."
"It's great to know you. Russell." Ryan shook hands with him, understanding that he must be a member of the Australian Gang.
Russell Clow did not have the rumored arrogance and rudeness in front of Ryan, and looked very humble. Because Ni was one of the leaders of the Australian Gang, Ryan was also very polite to him.
The time and place are now, so I can only say hello, because people keep walking in front of Ryan and Nicole. They are almost talking about topics without nutrition, and there are not even a few people who recommend themselves.
"Why did you remember to introduce him to me?" Ryan was naturally talking about Russell Clow.
"I recommended him to Nancy. If nothing unexpected happens, Russell will be the leading actor of "100% Men"." Nicole laughed and lowered her voice, "To avoid your jealousy in the future, I will introduce it to you first."
"Am I so stingy?" Ryan also lowered his voice.
"Short-minded, conservative, overly possessive, and machismo." Nicole listed his crimes one by one, "Do you want me to tell them all?"
"It seems I'm useless." Ryan asked, mocking himself, "Are you going to start working again?"
"Hmm... I promised Nancy to be the heroine of "100% Men". She poked Ryan's chest invisibly, "This is your script, machismo."
Nicole's personality is not suitable for a plain life at all. Ryan knows this very well and doesn't say much. Anyway, as long as she is happy, it's fine.
In fact, Nancy Meyers initially decided that the male lead was Mel Gibson, but Ryan rejected it. The man was not very clear-headed. God only knew when he would be in trouble. He would become a public enemy of Hollywood in a few years. In the end, he could only make B-level movies and live a life. Jenkins Film should avoid having trouble with him.
As for Russell Clow, although this movie is not as good as "Gladiator", it can still make him a top-notch. There is also the "Beautiful Mind". It seems that it tells the story of a professor at Princeton University. He can't remember the name of it. He can find someone to check it out, and maybe he can even make another actor.
"Hey, Ryan, what are you thinking?"
Leonardo DiCaprio's voice pulled Ryan's thoughts back. He looked around him and said that Nicole was no longer there. He probably was going to socialize. He immediately took a photo of Leonardo's arm and asked, "Where is your new girlfriend?"
"Follow Nicole to go for a social event." He pointed casually, the two tall women were extremely conspicuous.
"Aren't you going out for a location?" Ryan remembers that "Mission Impossible 2" directed by Wu Wu has already started filming.
"Nicole sent me an invitation, you can't stop coming?" Leonardo scratched his eyebrows, "and come back to an audition."
"Audio?" Ryan asked in cooperation, "Which movie?"
"Ridley Scott." Leonardo laughed, "Your Gladiator, Ryan, maybe we'll be in the opposite scene next year."
"You?" Ryan deliberately hammered his slightly thin chest, "You are too thin."
However, he frowned and thought, and said, "Okay, Leon, as long as you can impress Ridley, it's not a problem for me."
If this guy performs well, he might be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor. Even if he doesn't perform well, it will not have much impact on himself.
As for Joaquin Phoenix, he has no friendship with him.
Just like "The Lord of the Rings", the preparation of epic movies was very troublesome. Ridley Scott signed a director contract and after Jenkins Film's start-up funds arrived, he first determined the location. He originally wanted to shoot in Rome City, but was rejected by the Roman city government, so he had to choose the location near London.
Actors must also be recruited in advance, as they all have to undergo months of swordsmanship and riding training.
Ryan didn't expect that Leonardo actually became interested in this movie. Perhaps every time he starred in, he would get several Oscar nominations. It seems that after becoming a first-line superstar, Xiao Li has more pursuit of honor.
"Leon's girlfriend is a smart guy." Nicole whispered as she walked towards the screening room, "I promised to win a role for her in "100% Men."
"You can do this kind of thing." There is no harm in adding a sexy and beautiful female model to a commercial movie.
"The Matrix" was considered a philosophical science fiction film in his previous life. Even every line and every shot was taken out to analyze, and then all kinds of strange conclusions were drawn. Some of them were probably unable to even think of the Wachowski brothers who broke their heads.
It is undeniable that this movie does have many metaphors, and some lines also seem to contain philosophy, but in Ryan's eyes, this is just a cool, interesting and profitable movie.
In order to increase the excitement of the movie, when he wrote the script, he removed some divine things, especially some metaphors that scattered the main characters in the last two movies, such as the constant assumptions and self-overturning. Once the audience would find it very novel, but the number of times would only make people feel bored.
This movie highlights coolness, the actors' outfits, various props, virtualized fighting, Motorola flip phones, Ray-Ban sunglasses, all of which show the meaning of the word "cool".
Of course, from another perspective, he is also the master of pretending to be a '13' movie.
"cool!"
"It's so cool!"
Such words are constantly coming from the back row of viewers.
"Dear, you are so sexy." Ryan's eyes fell almost all on the heroine, and he whispered in Nicole's ear, "Can you wear it for me after you go back tonight?"
"I'm going home tonight, go back to my own home." Nicole pushed him back directly.
"It's so disappointing." Ryan couldn't help but shake his head.
"Today is the premiere, and if you want to be caught by paparazzi, I have no objection."
Nicole's words undoubtedly hit Ryan's vital point. He closed his mouth obediently and returned to the big screen.
The movie has come to the coolest and most important place - Bullet Time.
The word "cool" has been used by the audience in the back row for many times. Many people have almost never closed their mouths. This movie is indeed so sexy that many people, especially young people.
As for bullet time, this is not the original creation of "The Matrix". Similar shots appeared in some movies in the 1980s, but there is no doubt that "The Matrix" has completely developed this film technology, and many movies will definitely learn from it in the future until it is used up.
Hollywood will still follow the trend, and the exciting films it produces are based on a huge number of bad movies.
Next is Kung Fu. No matter what kind of evaluation the film will receive after the action, after it, Kung Fu will inevitably set off a new round of craze in Hollywood. Although many movies that use Kung Fu will make a profit from it, this trend lasts too short.
Of course, because the trilogy was filmed at the same time, there was enough suspense at the end of the movie, such as what is the mother body? There is also Zion, who is frequently mentioned by Morpheus and others. This place is obviously the last position of human beings, and where is it? (To be continued...)
