"The Los Angeles premiere of "The Matrix" was well-received, the audience responded strongly, and film critics gave positive comments."
"The well-known film critic Peter Rogier told the Los Angeles Times reporter after the premiere that "The Matrix" is the best film he has watched in recent years. The film's philosophical thinking between virtual and reality It is a complete sublimation of the idea of the original novel, and innovative shooting techniques such as bullet time and 360-degree camera rotation special effects are even more eye-catching.”
"The Wachowskis are a stunning pair of new Hollywood directors, and Eric Williams once again proves his knack for filmmaking."
After the premiere with a strong response, Firefly also basically let go of its concerns about the quality of the "Matrix" film, and began small-scale screenings in major ticket warehouse cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. The publicity offensive of the film quickly exploded in word-of-mouth and popularity.
From the premiere ceremony on May 27 to the official release of the film on May 31, in just three days, the box office of "The Matrix" on 26 screens in major cities in North America reached a total of 680,000 U.S. dollars, while "The Matrix" The midnight box office of Empire, which was screened on 3,100 screens in North America on May 30, even surpassed the box office of "Jurassic Park" three years ago, reaching 4.65 million US dollars.
After the release of these two data, all the media who had been negative about "The Matrix" shut their mouths, and the executives of several film companies were also secretly glad that they did not put their main summer film on the schedule against "The Matrix" In fact, even Universal, which rescheduled "The Mummy 2" to a week after "Bravely Killed Island" after "Titanic" skipped tickets, was secretly worried that "Bravely Killed Island" would be the same as "Bravely Killed Island" The same quality as The Matrix, although "The Mummy 2" has the audience base of the previous film, and the word-of-mouth test screenings are also very good, but the two strong films collided back and forth, and it is inevitable that both will suffer.
In the original time and space, from the beginning of the production of "The Matrix" to the release of the film, Warner maintained a very unfavorable indifferent attitude, and even put the film's release date on the relatively deserted Easter schedule, but even so, "The Matrix" The first one still achieved a North American box office of 170 million US dollars at a medium cost of 63 million US dollars, and it completely exploded the other "Wild Storm" starring Will Smith and costing 170 million US dollars, which won Time Warner's 1999 box office. The box office champion of the release film. Subsequently, relying on the super-strong word-of-mouth accumulated by the first film, the box office of the second film still reached 150 million U.S. dollars in the first week despite the serious decline in quality.
While maintaining the main creative team and core plot of the original version, the new version of "The Matrix" far surpasses those of the past in terms of production standards, publicity efforts, and schedule selection. The film may be restricted by the R-rating rating and cannot achieve the box office miracle of "Jurassic Park" that year, but it is almost certain that it will far exceed the original version.
Therefore, after the premiere, Eric flew to the Bahamas with confidence to start the production of "007 Casino Royale".
Like Canada, Australia and other countries, the Bahamas belong to the Commonwealth of Nations. These countries basically regard the Queen of England as the head of state, so most of them have no president. The Bahamas still retains a very old governor system.
As the best tourist resort near the Caribbean, the Bahamas has more than 3,000 islands, but less than 30 have been developed.
Although many plot elements of the old version are retained, in general, the new version of "Casino Royale" is two completely different stories compared to the previous one. In the new script, there are still not many plots that take place in the Panama Islands. However, Eric has retained the plot of terrorists attempting to attack the airport. This plot is not planned to be filmed in Miami, the mainland of the United States, but is determined to be in the capital of the Bahamas. Nassau International Airport, plus some other changes, the crew shot in the Bahamas for a period of one and a half months.
In order to cooperate with the filming of the crew, the Bahamas specially set aside an island named Providence for the crew to shoot scenes. The shooting in Nassau, Paradise Island and other islands also received the full support of the Bahamas government.
Eric arrived in the Bahamas on May 28. Film producer Barbara Broccoli, starring Pierce Brosnan and a host of supporting actors have all assembled in Paradise Island where the crew is stationed.
There are hundreds of people in the entire crew, and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars every day to do nothing. After Eric arrived in the Bahamas, he had no time to rest and started working quickly.
After all, it has been more than two years since I directed a film. Although I produced the "Victoria's Secret Annual Show" during this period, it has nothing to do with the film. A few days before the filming started on June 2, Eric was basically re-entering the state of directing. Fortunately, after two lifetimes of work, all kinds of professional cognition related to directing have been deeply instinctive. It is impossible to forget, coupled with the support of a strong production team behind him, the corresponding sense of unfamiliarity quickly disappears invisible in the rapid running-in.
On June 2, "Casino Royale" officially launched on Paradise Island Beach, Bahamas.
In line with the principle of first easy and then difficult, the film first started shooting when Bond met the film's No. 3 Bond girl on the beach.
There are no specific lines in this shot, and it is relatively simple to shoot.
According to the order of primary and secondary, the No. 1 Bond girl in this 007 is naturally Cate Blanchett. In order to make Kate have some intellectual temperament of a working girl, Eric currently arranges her to experience life in the British branch of Firefly. The Bond Girl is the younger sister of Kate, played by Christina Aguilera. Another identity of this character is also an alternate angel of Charlie's Detective Agency.
Therefore, the woman in the Bahamas at this time is Bond girl No. 3. Eric did not intervene in the selection of this role, but it was a coincidence that the casting team finally determined the candidate. Line, Teri Hatcher is also the Bond girl of the eighteenth 007. Eric also saw this woman on the casting list of "Lust and the City" last year. It cannot be guessed that Teri Hatcher should be an artist under ICM, otherwise she would not appear in the two major firefly systems. In the list of key protagonists.
Of course, Eric has no time to take care of these entangled game entanglements now. Hollywood is an intricate chess game.
Standing behind the familiar monitor, Eric looked at the shooting slides around him, the actors who had finished their positions, and his crew members. A familiar feeling came to his heart, and he felt a little excited.
The assistant director waved to Eric, expressing that everything was ready. Eric finally raised the microphone in his hand and said to everyone: "OK, "Casino Royale", Act 1, Scene 1, Action!"
