The dark green Pixar logo, which is completely different from the animated version, appeared on the screen, disappeared, and then a piece of dark green characters fell, and finally only a few remained to form the title of the film.
Except for some shots, the title is no different from the original, except that the woman in black sitting in front of the computer is more beautiful, and the pale and cold temperament is more attractive in this environment. Then, the police inside broke the door and the agents outside had just arrived, so naturally there was a fight in the room, 360° flying kicks were indispensable, and Trinity's neat movements and the last POSS fully explained what Call it cool, but this is just the beginning, the difference is later.
At this moment, the police team at the corner rushed over from the narrow passage as soon as they heard the gunshot and raised their guns to shoot, but Trinity suddenly jumped forward and rolled on the spot, and came to the police pile. Then he drew his gun, got up, turned, twisted, and kept changing his movements, while waving his arms and pulling the trigger according to the predetermined trajectory.
The police couldn't react as they should. Even if they barely wanted to shoot, they were hit by bullets and spread out before they raised their hands. All their actions were expected by Trinity, and even they The tremors after being shot are all included in the calculation. The woman in the middle can use any action of the police, and her arms waving up and down, left and right, like a precise machine, pouring bullets on them. The light of the fire made the narrow passage alternate between light and dark, and the figure in the middle showed a cool temperament between gestures, but it was not over yet.
Although the camera cut made this scene seem to take a lot of time, it only took ten seconds in the movie, so when the police finally fell down, two more people rushed out from the corner and shot with their guns drawn. , Trinity immediately turned a few steps, stepped on the wall, took another few steps, then rolled over and jumped up, falling from the air with a cross hanging upside down and firing at both sides, instantly killing two police camps, and then landing and rolling again. Put on a POSS.
Hearing the surprised whispers around, Angela raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, this is the cool thing she added - gunfighting! "The Matrix" is based on coolness throughout. Both the styling and the fighting are excellent in this respect, but the gunfight is a little weaker in comparison. Action movies are almost the same, so when Angela was thinking about how to make gunfights cooler, the first thing that came to mind was gunfighting.
The first concept of gunfighting was probably the movie "Tear Doom", but the response to that movie after its release was not very good. Although the fighting was gorgeous, it was too contrived to make people feel very unreal. Later, the Japanese used it in animations and games - such as "Devil May Cry", but it spread and was sought after by many people.
Angela deliberately studied it carefully on the drawing paper when she was setting the settings. She was not worried about the conflict between gunfighting and kung fu. No matter how powerful the gunfighting skills were, it would still be useless to meet the agents - Trinity, played by Kate on the screen, was already Start running for your life, facing a program that can flash even if the gun is aimed at the forehead, and will never die, nothing can be done. Moreover, gunfighting is too intense, and it is not suitable for expressing procedural conflicts, which is different from what the old-fashioned kung fu wants to express.
And there is another advantage of putting gunfighting skills in "The Matrix". This kind of technology is impossible in reality, but the virtual space is another matter. From this point of view, it is quite tailor-made.
Of course, gunfighting can't be completely copied into "The Matrix". Whether it's "Tear Doomsday" or "Devil May Cry", the gunfighting skills in it are too gorgeous and empty, so Angela racked her brains to try Retain the coolness of gunfighting without taking over. For her, this task is both simple and complex. On paper, she can freely draw imaginary sharp movements, but it is not easy to turn it into a scene in a movie.
Fortunately, "The Matrix" has professional guidance in the action. Yuan Ba Ye is still a little interested in the gunfighting technique she designed, so he will also participate in the discussion of the gunfighting technique when designing the fighting action. According to his words It's just that this movie only gets its form and loses its spirit in kung fu. Since it can't be too demanding, it has to make up for it in other actions.
Although the other party said it very rudely, in Angela's eyes, this version of "The Matrix" is still a lot better in fighting. This is due to the decision to let Yuan Heping shoot the action shots and shoot Hong Kong with fist fights. The movie is indeed unique, and it really does give people a feeling of sharpness, simplicity, but lack of heaviness because of the virtual space! Especially when Keanu used Banlazi Tai Chi to fight with Lawrence in the training program, it was particularly prominent. Angela was very sorry before. What would happen if Yuan Ba Ye was to supervise the editing of this fight scene
Therefore, the action design of the gunfighting technique has the participation of Yuan Baye, and the tiger also joins in from time to time, plus Ridley's shooting - it is obviously better to leave it to him for the gunfight - if there is no sloppy before. If fighting and 360° volley kicks make people feel amazing, the gunfights that follow make people feel very refreshing, especially the cross in the air that can be said to represent the action of gunfights, people can't help but feel low Surprised.
There are only three places in the whole film where gunfighting is completely used. One is the escape from Trinity's story at the beginning of the film, and the second is the training program Morpheus and Neo have finished their kung fu practice and then practice guns. The fighting technique is very exciting here. The two fight close to each other, but they always shoot each other's head with a gun, and at the same time block the moment when the other party pulls the trigger. Neo has experienced several failures and let the bullet stop at himself. After three times in front of the forehead, I finally mastered the technique completely.
While filming here, Ridley had an argument with Angela. The old man thought it was unnecessary just to pretend to be cool. Angela revised the script after thinking about it - not canceling the scene but modifying it After reading Morpheus's lines, I said before that gunfighting is almost impossible in reality, because the person who uses it must not only react quickly, but also must be able to perform a lot of calculations in an instant, but it can be justified in a virtual space, so In Morpheus's earnest teachings, in addition to "what is real" and "are you breathing air", "are you dodging with your body or with your head", "are you obedient to the bondage" Or break free of bondage" and so on, so this scene also has the same value as the previous kung fu duel and the subsequent jump training, which looks very enjoyable.
The third place is naturally the fierce battle in the hall when Neo and Trinity went to rescue Morpheus. There is no completely intense and hot action scene here, although the shooting is somewhat complicated by the addition of gunfighting. But Ridley was still in control, and Angela was inspired to make the cut go fast and slow, and then switch between close-ups and the whole, and after a few discussions, the result was excellent.
In addition, gunfighting has also appeared in many places, such as when the subway station and Agent Smith shot each other before the fight, but they all appeared very short, after all, it is not the whole of the movie, there are many places to watch, different The fighting scenes of ordinary action movies, the 360° bullet time, and the final touch of the void to stop the bullet, and the dark green digital world in Neo's eyes at the end, all firmly caught the audience's attention.
The two-hour film finally came to an end. When the lights came on, I didn't know who applauded first. There was a round of applause in the screening room. Obviously, everyone was satisfied with the first impression of "The Matrix".
"I have to say, this is an excellent film!" Ed Camm, who was sitting in front of Angela, stood up and turned his head. "I'm now considering whether I should hand over the film department to you."
"Don't even think about it, Ed, just learn from Mr. Katzenberg," Angela retorted, "I'm targeting Pixar's Steven Spielberg or David Geffen. ."
"This is really a big goal, knowing that the management of the film department is still a bit bad in some places." After a few words, Ed turned to what he was good at, "After all, live-action movies are different from animated movies. "
"I think you can do it in your own way, anyway, for me, as long as you have enough authority." Angela waved her hand in disapproval, "I'm just a producer or director, you are the CEO, the company's You have the final say."
"You've said it many times." Ed shook his head with a smile, and then changed the subject: "If you have time, how about dubbing the upcoming new animation "The Bugs"?"
"Obviously, I can't refuse." Angela shrugged to agree, and after the two chatted a few more words, Ed and the others - Ridley, Keanu, Lawrence greeted, Angela naturally Pulled Kate and whispered.
"Why, isn't it a good start?" Angela said with a smile, "Isn't it cool when wielding two guns."
"You've said this word many times, how many times do you have to say it before you're willing?" Kate said helplessly. She was wearing a mid-length satin black dress with an empty chest above her chest, looking very sexy and beautiful.
"But originally the selling point of this movie is this word," Angela looked innocent, but she changed the subject, "To be honest, I was worried that after the concert, the finishing work of this movie might be bad. , In that case, the release will be postponed, and the previous publicity will be in vain, but I didn’t expect Rayleigh and the others to do a great job.”
"Why, there are things you haven't thought of?" Kate said jokingly, "You are a genius."
"There are so many unexpected things in this world," Angela couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Speaking of which, if the editing was not completed by overtime at the beginning of May, the delay may be a sure thing, but now it seems that maybe the next two I can hand over the production rights to Ridley, he's doing a great job and he's very capable, and I think he definitely wants that as well."
"You really should hand over some of the work, you have too many things to do, and you are busy all day." Kate stared into her eyes, "You know that being too busy is not good for your body, especially for women. Body."
"Don't worry, I didn't forget to exercise even when I was the busiest," Angela shook her hand affectionately, "Just keep a reasonable schedule, and you know how I exercise. "
"Well... Indeed." Kate suddenly rubbed her mouth and turned her head away, looking like she didn't know anything. Angela was stunned and then realized that she wanted to change her mind. Can not help but add a lot of energy.
"Hey, I didn't say anything?" Kate quickly confessed in a low voice, Angela gave her a stern look, and then reluctantly released her hand, her voice low but threatening: "If this is not the case here, In public…”
"Why, can you still do something to me?" Kate said in a low voice, seeing Angela's eyes widened again, and then she shook her finger with a smile: "Okay, instead of being mad at me, Why don't you think about how to deal with reporters' questions later?"
Angela suddenly showed a headache, this sentence hit her key point, even with her toes, she knew that reporters had to pay attention to her "emotional change". Although this was planned with Jonathan, and the family's reaction was expected - Mom was noncommittal to Angela's "it's nothing, just a little conflict, maybe it's better to be friends" excuse, but they didn't expect the reporters But he was so enthusiastic, he followed him almost 24 hours a day, so that Jonathan could go anywhere, and Walter's gallery became a forbidden place. In the end, he had to let his work overwhelm him. Even so, the reporters still said what Jonathan was using. Work and forget about this relationship.
Fortunately, the paparazzi did not dare to break into her villa. When her parents held a cocktail party at home the day before yesterday, they hoped that she would also participate. Although Angela often avoided it, she never refused after her parents asked, but that night she refused. Like flowers surrounded by bees, several young men followed, which made her wonder if breaking up with Jonathan was the right thing to do.
"I'm sorry, sir, you seem to have gone to the wrong place. This is not a personal press conference at the premiere of the movie." Angela, a reporter who asked a question, replied unceremoniously, "The Matrix" Is the completely virtual space in her because she doesn't believe in love? Got water in your head, idiot!
"But the public has the right to know." Although the reporter's face was a little red, he replied calmly.
"Then I have the right not to answer." Angela put her fingers crossed on the table, and glanced at the reporter in front of her face expressionlessly: "Which professional reporter wants to ask questions next?"
The word "professional" was bitten hard by her.
The reporters didn't seem to have any response, but the next question was indeed only temporarily related to the movie. After all, there is still some difference between a reporter and a paparazzi, and the guy just now had water in his head. How could this kind of question be in? When the reception just started, I asked, why wait until the last few minutes to concentrate firepower
"How is it?" Angela got up from the back of the car and looked outside through the rear window.
"I said they wouldn't follow me, you're the focus." Kate, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and said, with a smile on her face, Angela had already hugged her from behind, and then A loud kiss.
"Hey honey, I'm driving." Kate said angrily.
"I know, I just want to be happy and escape from the circle of reporters." Angela sat back and giggled, and then groaned loudly and stretched while in a chaotic mess on the seat. Twisted, and finally stumbled and fell under the seat screaming.
"If you can, please take a seat?" Kate said with a headache, and she could see that she had been holding back her smile.
"What's the matter? Did I make you restless?" Angela climbed on the back of the co-pilot this time, looking at Kate's profile with a smile and said.
"If you do this again, then I'm going to laugh out loud, then I can't control the steering wheel, then I accidentally drive onto the sidewalk, then I accidentally hit some building, and finally I accidentally crash the car!" Kate almost It's gnashing of teeth.
"Okay, okay, I'll do nothing at the head office." Angela spread her hands and shook her head helplessly, as if very sorry.
In keeping quiet, they quickly returned to Kate's house, which is also where Angela used to live. For some reasons, Angela was not careful until the car entered the garage and Kate went out to look at the wind. He went out through the other door of the garage and got into the house through the back door.
"I can finally rest, I'm really happy." Angela fell on the sofa and shouted loudly.
"Want something to drink?" came Kate's voice.
"Boiled water is enough." Angela rolled over and climbed on the sofa, shaking her calves.
"No juice?" Kate put the cup on the coffee table, sat down beside her and asked with a smile.
"If you want to quench your thirst, of course, boiled water is the best." Angela jumped up, took the cup and drank it, then curled her legs on the sofa and leaned against Kate comfortably, "Sometimes, I feel like playing hide-and-seek with them. It's actually quite interesting."
"I hope one day you won't be like Sean Penn, chasing reporters down the street with a gun." Kate shook the glass of red wine in her hand, said shyly, and then kissed Angela on the forehead kiss.
"Well, I'm just talking." Angela kissed back.
"Do you want some wine? Red wine or whisky, brandy? I still remember when you were drinking in London, your alcohol intake was not small." Kate suddenly said.
"If it's just red wine..." Angela hesitated a little.
"Then the wine bar." Kate put down the cup in her hand, then put it on her ear and said in an ambiguous tone, "How about we go upstairs first?"
