However, since this is a domestic science fiction film, the background of the film needs to be modified. The name of the protagonist and the surrounding environment must conform to the domestic situation.
Now sitting in the office, he has no way to write a novel, so he simply goes to the National Copyright Administration's registration and fills out various forms. He registers the story first to avoid a lawsuit if the story is leaked or stolen by others later. There are also traces to follow.
This also allowed Keanu Reeves to complete his magnificent transformation from a second-tier Hollywood actor to a top-tier actor. This movie allowed him to interpret what it means to be handsome and what it means to be cool, and he became an idol all over the world!
The reason why he said before that he needed hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot this movie was that he had an incomparable ambition. He wanted to shoot the "Matrix" trilogy directly in one go, just like the original "Lord of the Rings".
To put it bluntly, "The Matrix" now only has a preliminary idea. Let alone starting filming, the script has not even been written.
In the preparation stage, the main focus is on whether the script is an adaptation or an original one.
The audience will not be distracted by the drama, and there is no time to think about why such a battle is arranged here. Almost every section has unforgettable visual effects: gun battle on the first floor, bullet time, helicopters smashing high buildings, hovering bullets, the matrix world. Coding etc...
Lin Han already had a premonition that his preparation time would last for a long time, because he wanted to write out the scripts of the "Matrix" trilogy in one go, and also write the novel at the same time. This is a big project!
This idea allows the audience to think about the reality and illusion of the world they live in. Of course, human beings being extremely dominated is an interesting fantasy that can easily hit a large hollow stronghold.
In this way, it can not only increase the coherence of the story itself, but also reduce costs.
Perhaps many people know that "The Matrix" is an original movie by the Wachowski brothers, but after the success of the movie, an official novel was also developed. The movie came first and then the novel.
The story itself has a very sci-fi entry point. In the future, most people in the world have become biological batteries kept in captivity by machines, living in drunkenness and dreaming and dying in the virtual world.
…
Neo in the novel is much more powerful than in the movie. It also details the mental growth of Morpheus and the other captains, the destruction of five different worlds, and even a detailed description of the Zion area.
The classic thing about this series of movies is that each one finds a breakthrough at the point where the audience thinks it has reached its extreme, and it is reasonable.
Unlike the first part, which received global acclaim, "The Matrix Reloaded" serves as a link between the past and the next in the trilogy, and it is also the episode that has caused the most controversy and discussion!
The exaggerated reproduction of the elastic deformation of objects and the air trails caused by bullets were all pioneered by The Matrix. The film has a violent aesthetic. Action director Yuen Woo-ping from Hong Kong worked well with the director to combine the splashing debris with beautiful character movements. Combined, it's simply a feast for the eyes.
"The Matrix" successfully blends science fiction and action, two unrelated concepts, and one can only admire the sophistication of the concept.
This is a bit like the shooting mode of a TV series. The script is shot in one go and then divided into dozens of episodes to be broadcast.
If the set-shooting model is used, there will be no need for actors to ask for a price increase, and it will look like they are just making a movie.
The sales of black trench coats and sunglasses were boosted by this movie, and the classic Nokia mobile phone also became a symbol of the trend.
Lin Han knew that this was a very good IP. He had tasted the benefits of linking the novel with the movie, so he wanted to publish the novel together!
"The Matrix" cost US$63 million, grossed US$460 million at the global box office, and won four Oscars, one of which was the Best Film Editing, which was known as the precursor to the Oscar for Best Picture. This was unprecedented at the time. Look, it’s an extremely good result!
The reason why "The Matrix" is both popular and popular is because of its complete storyline, climaxes, and overwhelming visual effects. When these three are combined together, the audience feels the ultimate pleasure!
The production of a movie is mainly divided into the preparation stage, the shooting stage, and the post-production stage. These three stages take a lot of time!
You must know that a large part of the cost of "The Matrix 2" comes from the skyrocketing salary of actors. Keanu Reeves and others have continuously doubled their net worth after the success of "The Matrix"!
The novel "The Matrix" is very large. The first part is equivalent to an introduction, with modifications, additions and deletions based on the plot of the movie. The second and third parts are much larger, with Neo's dream as an incentive to write seven or eight novels. The intertwined timelines and main story lines are intertwined.
In the first part, Trinity kisses Snow White to wake up and makes Neo become the savior. In the second part, Neo starts to block the mechanical octopus with his bare hands in the "real world" and squeezes Trinity's hand. The heart brought her back to life; in the third part, Neo was burned blind after failing to kill the boss alone, but after he became blind, he could see more things, and he could see through the skin that the mother's body had penetrated into the "real world" Those agents.
Especially in the second half of the movie, when the traitor appears, rescues Morpheus, duels with the men in black agents, and Neo is resurrected, almost every section maintains a sense of tension and excitement, but the plot progresses very smoothly.
This term comes from Peter Jackson's production model for "The Lord of the Rings". When "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was released, the filming of "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King" had actually been completed, with only a few shortcomings. Post-production work, such as special effects processing and sound effects editing.
The sequels to "The Matrix" were not put on the agenda because the first one had a good box office and good reputation, but they were originally a complete story. It was just that the time of the first movie could not accommodate so much content. Three parts.
There are very important scenes in this series of movies. The Wachowski brothers revolutionized the "bullet time" super slow motion and circular shooting, which became classic shots in film and television!
Lin Han rubbed his hands. He would be lying if he said he wasn't excited that such a classic science fiction movie would be born in his hands.
Even for many viewers who don't understand the philosophy behind this movie, this is still a 100-point work. For viewers who are willing to expand their imagination, it is 100 points plus 100 points!
There is a very common term when shooting a series of movies, and that is "set shooting". To put it bluntly, it means shooting together and then releasing it in separate episodes.
If he hadn't planned to shoot three movies together, Lin Han wouldn't have had to spend such a high cost. This was an adventure, very dangerous, but worth a try!
In Lin Han's head, the plot of "The Matrix" naturally exists. What he has to do now is to write the script, and he also plans to publish the novel!
