There was even a flash of joy in Wang Bin's heart. He knew that this was a movie made by his opponent, but he was still firmly attracted by the plot and visual effects of the movie. If such a wonderful movie was placed in the Lunar New Year festival, it would be simply The nightmare of directing and investing in a movie yourself!
"As much as I try to find fault with this movie, I have to say that this is the best sci-fi movie I've seen in recent times. It's a completely different movie than Jurassic Park, but it's equally fascinating. You made a science fiction classic."
"Lin Han's third movie has made great progress. From "Out of the Solar System" to "Immortal" and then to "The Matrix", he has shown us with practical actions that he is not only a talented writer, but also an excellent one. director!"
"Today I had the honor to attend the media preview of "The Matrix". The film was more exciting than I imagined. The film critics and reporters at the scene were all like ordinary viewers, very uneasy. The 3D effect was very dazzling, and even Feeling the bullets flying, the only regret is that I couldn't watch the IMAX version. After the movie is released, you must go to IMAX, it will be something you will never forget!"
Chen Jiaxuan quickly washed the foam off her hands. After she ran back to the sofa, she took out several pieces of paper and wiped her hands. "Hurry up and see the results. Is there really a vacancy?"
"All the awards at the World Science Fiction Film Festival have just been handed out, but the Lighthouse Award is vacant and was not awarded to "The Han River Monster"!"
"If you were willing to accept my investment, you wouldn't have to worry about money." Wang Bin said regretfully, missing Lin Han's "The Matrix".
Lin Han handed the phone to Chen Jiaxuan. He was very happy at this time. The slight resentment he had towards the organizing committee also disappeared. At least they did not make this award infamous.
"It's true, it doesn't matter if it's vacant." Chen Jiaxuan smiled with satisfaction, "Apart from "The Matrix", which other movie deserves this award?"
All means were used together. When the time came to Thursday, Lin Han had basically completed all kinds of things and could only resign himself to fate.
It can be said that the opponent of "The Matrix" at this time is only itself. The other films are not the enemies of Neo in any way. If you want to win more box office, you have to look at its own performance, not other films. !
Such a cool film can certainly attract the attention of the audience, but many people have serious doubts about domestic science fiction films and do not want to try the drug themselves.
Some people even paid a high price to buy additional tickets for media tickets, just to watch the film in advance!
After all, after being poisoned by bad movies for so long, the audience has also learned to be smart. Many people wait for the movie to have a real reputation before going to the cinema.
Nowadays, after the movie is screened, the professional media is slow to respond, while the Internet celebrities quickly give their thoughts after watching the movie, adding a bit of popularity to the movie.
"I have finished watching "The Matrix", and there is basically no peeing in the whole movie. The plot seems easy to understand, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many things worth studying in it. It is quite suspenseful and brain-burning! The actors' faces are so beautiful The value and acting skills are both top-notch. It is no exaggeration to say that the visual effects are amazing, and the sound effects are so exciting!"
Time passed little by little, and the money spent on promoting "The Matrix" finally paid off. Major theaters have begun to replace their posters, and at the same time, video advertisements have also begun to be played in subway stations and bus stops. trailer.
"That's it, that's really a pity. Anyway, it's a hit at the box office. I'll write a film review for you later and be a guest film critic." Li Wenyuan looked at the people who kept coming over to greet Lin Han, and he continued. : "Then you should be busy first, and we can talk in detail later when you have time."
Chen Jiaxuan turned around and said: "Others can get it, but don't be Koreans. They like to give their host players an advantage in the various conferences they host. If the Lighthouse Award is really won by Koreans in the end, you might as well just win it in the future Don’t go participate, or you’ll fall down the grade!”
"Come on, others don't know, don't you know? When have we dealt with our own people? You have a good sense." Wang Bin and Chen Jiaxuan grew up together. Now there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, and they are naturally harmonious. extremely.
As Colin Cecil, the chairman of the jury of the film festival, said on the stage, rather than choosing a film of average quality, it would be better to leave this award vacant!
"I can't imagine anyone else in China who can make such a shocking science fiction movie. The plot is not vulgar at all and is full of thoughts, which sets it apart from other science fiction movies by a long way! Not to mention everything besides the plot The elements are all played very well. Neo played by Chu Guang, a newcomer, can definitely attract a lot of fans. Shen Yanling also left a classic sexy beauty image on the big screen, and Xu Jiayan's acting skills are becoming more and more perfect. , he plays a villain so vividly that everyone wants to beat him to death, but he is also somewhat attractive!"
After combing Chai Chai's hair, Chen Jiaxuan threw the fallen dog hair in the trash can. She got up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands slowly with hand sanitizer. But then she heard Lin Han's laughter!
After Lin Han heard Wang Bin's compliment, he couldn't help but grinned, "Thank you, so have you found your shortcomings?"
The biggest advantage of having a media venue is that you don’t have to worry about publicity. Many Weibo influencers have already started posting updates before entering the venue. This luxurious media lineup is probably half of the domestic media industry, and there are people from large and small media.
It received almost unanimous praise, and the audience's enthusiasm for this movie was even more aroused. They picked up their mobile phones one after another in order to buy cheap tickets on various mobile phone software. Many people had various The client conducts repeated comparisons to find the one with the best price.
Of course, no one expects "The Matrix" to replicate "Jurassic Park" at the box office, but they hope to surpass "The Martian."
Li Wenyuan and his wife also walked up to them and kept praising them: "The movie is excellent. When will the world premiere be held? I will send you a flower basket!"
Regarding the shortcomings raised by Wang Bin, Lin Han said helplessly: "Of course it's impossible to hand over all the good things at once, and besides, we don't have that much money to do special effects together. When this movie makes money, we can naturally make the next one A movie could do better!”
…
The pre-sale channel was only opened in the afternoon. By evening, the total pre-sale box office of "The Matrix" had sold 10 million. This result is the best reassurance!
Wang Bin shook his head, "From the plot to the special effects, from the actors to the fighting, from the sound effects to the soundtrack, everything is almost perfect. This fight looks so exaggerated, but it is so cool. I guess you did it on purpose so that the audience can Can you distinguish the difference between the matrix world and the real world? If there are any shortcomings, I think the movie is not long enough. You should have released all three movies at once!"
The actors in "The Matrix" look quite attractive, and the effects are very cool. At least they have good popularity among young people, and the moviegoers are relatively young!
This is the first time in the more than 20-year history of the Lighthouse Award that there is no vacancy, and Colin even bluntly said that this award belongs to Lin Han!
More than two hours of the film seemed to pass in a blink of an eye. When Wang Bin took off his glasses, he clearly heard the sigh of the person next to him, "It's over so quickly, it's too soon!"
"Didn't you see that we have all announced the schedule? The lucky audience originally invited also came to the scene at this time. This time it was a bit rushed and there was no time to hold the premiere. "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" must be held A lively premiere."
"The best science fiction film I have seen recently, I personally give it a 9. This should be good news for novelists. It does not ruin the novel at all, but makes it more shocking. If you don't know better, you will think that the action and fighting are exaggerated, but this But in the virtual world, what is impossible?"
Even if the domestic box office of "The Monkey King" is comparable to "The Matrix", it is not a heavyweight at the global box office!
Lin Han was indeed very busy. There were too many people in the media field this time. As the host, he was too busy to say hello, so he could only smile apologetically at Li Wenyuan and his wife, "Okay, let's go slowly. Let’s make an appointment when you have time!”
"I heard that the World Science Fiction Film Festival closed today, would you like to watch their live broadcast on Youtube?" Chen Jiaxuan used a comb to smooth Chai Chai's hair, and the little chubby guy lay on the ground comfortably enjoying the supreme treatment.
Chen Jiaxuan clapped her hands and said in surprise: "Wang Erxiao, you really don't look like the person I know. You make me very flustered by such a large number of positive comments. Is there some conspiracy?"
This is probably the highest praise for "The Matrix". Everyone hopes that this movie can be longer, but they are simply not satisfied with it!
…
Overseas audiences are very receptive to science fiction films. Lin Han's film first used the novel of the same name to pave the way, and then it also had English dialogues and so on. It also had the help of Hollywood's top film distribution companies. Recovering the money is not a problem at all. The problem is How much can you earn.
Fortunately, it was released in advance, otherwise it would not be certain who would be suppressed by whom!
The audience responds enthusiastically, so theaters will arrange the film so that it can win at the starting line.
She poked her head out of the bathroom and asked curiously, "What happened?"
The audience watched the movie almost without blinking, while Lin Han held it and refreshed the box office figures. Both parties were very fascinated.
"Yes, yes, everything is up to you." Lin Han said obediently. An unqualified film festival can only slowly decline in the end. Even after "The Matrix" became famous, Lin Han simply couldn't do it. There is no need to introduce him to science fiction movie lovers around the world in this way.
Lin Han sat aside and said unequivocally: "We have withdrawn from the main competition anyway. No matter which film wins, it's none of my business."
