378 - Must be understood by ordinary audiences
The quietness of the Hollywood Chinese Theater Cinema has completely returned to its original state, and everyone can't help but focus on the video that is about to begin.
Only Daisy, the leader of the movie fan organization, had a gloomy smile on his lips and kept muttering. "It will subvert your worldview! How could the movie written by Wayne be a simple commercial film? I wonder how many people think this is not a movie, and suspect that it is a prophecy..."
At this time, the story had officially begun, and a series of green codes and nagging conversations almost made all viewers confused.
The male protagonist is an openly programmer, but in private he is a famous hacker with the pseudonym Neo. After helping someone steal online information, he discovered the rabbit mentioned by another online hacker Trinity, and was tattooed on the shoulders of a woman among the buyers.
What the cyber hacker Trinity said was to find the truth about everything, so follow the rabbit.
The previous plays are relatively plain. Apart from revealing the film's strong cyberpunk style, all plots are just paving the way, introducing the world structure through the plain plot.
It was not until the male protagonist got his cell phone and was arrested by a group of agents. He was controlled by two agents during interrogation and took out a terrifying mechanical bug that sporadic screams came from the audience.
The male protagonist struggled hard on the big screen, and the two agents pressed him tightly. The mechanical bug was struggling and drilled into his stomach bit by bit.
Suddenly the picture turned, and Neo suddenly sat up from the bed, as if everything just now was a dream.
The phone ringing rang again. When the heroine Trinity met him again, she used the instrument to suck out the mechanical bug, which shows that those before were not dreams, and the hands and feet that Agent Smith moved were all real.
Not long after the film began, the audience accumulated more and more doubts. Why is the world full of strangeness? Everything seems to be real but cannot explain the various strange scenes that appear.
Then the plot quickly promoted constantly gave part of the explanation. This world is like a cage, with an ubiquitous mother body, and Morpheus, full of the aura of a charlatan, appeared and told the hero that he could let him see what is real.
Then open your hands. If you want to see the true face of this world, take this red pill, otherwise you will eat the blue one and will not remember anything when you wake up.
Obviously, the male protagonist had already become suspicious of the world and picked up the red pill and swallowed it.
At this point, there is already a lot of information revealed. All the viewers vaguely understand that the world where the male protagonist Neo and the female protagonist Trinity live is not the real world, this is a cage or a prison.
“oh my God!”
"Oh my God!"
When the male protagonist woke up again and crawled out of the petri dish filled with mucus, countless audiences exclaimed.
The camera seemed to become Neo's eyes, and the first perspective showed the audience the real world, tens of thousands of petri dishes, each with a human inside.
The world is desolate and terrifying. Lightning occasionally flashes in the dark sky, but under the flash of light, besides the gray clouds and dust, there are only countless petri dishes, which are completely a scene of the end of the world.
This first-person shot is composed entirely of pure special effects and can be regarded as the most expensive part of the film, so it brings a high sense of reality to the audience and fully reflects the scene of the end of the world.
“I like this movie.”
Naomi Watts leaned on Wayne's shoulder, his eyes not leaving the big screen, watching Neo's rush into the sewer by a mechanical bug and was saved by Morpheus.
"Dear, I like the world you wrote more than the movies you made. Lee is very handsome. I have to say that the heroine's figure is really cool, and these futuristic things are simply cool!"
In the explanations of parent body, electronic signals, matrix, truth, etc., Morpheus acts more like a charlatan at this time.
"Well, the cooler thing is still behind, don't worry." Wayne shrugged. His attention was not actually on the movie. Instead, he observed the reactions of the audience behind him from time to time. After all, this film appeared several years in advance. He was afraid that the various settings about the future would be unacceptable.
But it was obviously a waste of worry. The audience exclaimed from time to time. Whenever the action scenes appeared, everyone was attracted by this novel fighting method, and some people would unconsciously make "cool" low voices.
“Is this kongfu?”
The Australian actress noticed that he didn't watch movies much, so she just lay in his ear and said it. "Lee has been practicing these things since she was a child, why didn't she find it so cool before?"
"Freshness, Nami." Wayne explained patiently. "The fighting styles you have seen in movies since childhood are all the power of meat to meat. Now another way appears, bringing you enough freshness."
This is one of the selling points of the film, including cyberpunk, future technology, flexible fighting scenes, and other alternative special effects usage methods, which form the clear selling points in the film.
The kung fu played by the white man in the picture can be ridiculous in Wayne's eyes. This kind of thing that is merely exaggerated can just bring unspeakable freshness to North American audiences who have seen too many power fights.
The audiences attracted by movies now are definitely not because of the philosophy, human nature discussion and other things that have appeared, but because of the pleasure brought by future technology, cyberpunk and kung fu.
Before the filming began, Wayne warned Zach Schneider that this is a pure summer science fiction film. Don't try to amplify other elements. Those theology, philosophy, and human nature can only be embellishments, and more importantly, special effects scenes and other selling points.
Perhaps when movie fans mention this film in the future, they will unconsciously think of other elements, but what attracts them is not these. Too much discussion of philosophical and human nature is not a science fiction commercial masterpiece, and it will definitely become a tragic literary and artistic quaintness.
When a director shoots a movie and wants to express an emotion instead of telling a story, many people usually don’t understand it. This is the so-called art film. Among the audience watching this kind of art film, the proportion of sleeping in the cinema is as high as 35%.
Therefore, the theory that movies are too literary and artistic is equivalent to losing money is not wrong in some aspects.
The movie is still being screened, and the frequent action scenes later caused the audience to scream and cheer from time to time, especially when the classic bullet time appeared, not only shocked all the movie fans, but also media reporters and guests, these practitioners in the circle were stunned.
Wayne's thoughts unknowingly drifted away. He remembered that after the release of "The Matrix 1" in his previous life, the Wachowski brothers (sisters) received countless praises, and tens of millions of science fiction fans worshiped them.
But these two people were lost in the praise of the critics. They thought that the success of the first part was because of the human nature discussion and philosophical thinking among the critics. The production of the second and third part became more and more sensible and the reputation plummeted.
This is a typical example of being fooled by film critics, and then going back on the road of art. She can clearly become the top commercial director in Hollywood, and finally become a typical example of her debut.
In this regard, it has to be said to be an explosion. He was once fooled, but he immediately woke up after a film. What movie fans love is his explosion and then explode. No one likes to watch him discuss human nature.
In Wayne's memory, if you want to talk about the most successful literary and artistic movie, the one that immediately popped up in your mind was "Farewell My Concubine". The reason why this pure literary film is classic is that he personally feels that one reason is that the films made by the director can also understand them!
This is very important, very important. Although the movie "The Matrix" is full of divine nagging, he has already confirmed that the story is definitely not obscure for ordinary movie fans, and even a child can understand it. This is the basis for the film to have a wide audience.
When the film was just over halfway through the Hollywood Chinese Theater, the premiere of the Temple Grand Theater next door came to an end, and the list of cast members had already rolled on the big screen.
"Hey, Jack, the movie is over!" A white boy reached out and poked his sleeping companion, and pointed to the big screen in a vague way.
"Damn shit, am I actually asleep?" The young man named Jack rubbed his eyes, stood up with his companions, and took the lead in giving warm applause to the main creators of the crew.
"No one saw me asleep, right?" He looked at his companion while applauding vigorously.
"No, don't worry, our work is about to end."
The screening room, which was originally extremely quiet, seemed to come alive when the two boys' applause sounded, and more viewers stood up and gave their own applause.
Their professions will have a nice name in later generations, and to put it bluntly, it can also be called child care. This method will be used for premiere of almost every movie, including the ongoing "The Matrix", which Warner Brothers also have arrangements.
This is like insurance, which can resolve many embarrassments and unhappiness, just like the situation just now.
The main creators of the crew standing in front of the curtain came to the audience's enthusiastic applause, but the film producer Brian Glazer's face looked very ugly. He knew exactly what happened after the movie screening.
Director Bill Bakerby's expression was equally solemn, and he came to Justin and whispered: "The situation was a bit unexpected."
"Go to the press conference first, and then talk about other things."
The distribution manager of Universal Pictures was also puzzled. It was obvious that the entire film was created completely in the successful mode, but the audience's reaction was very bad. He comforted himself in the second half of the movie, hoping that this was just an individual phenomenon.
When the number of fans who left the show reached 20 or 30, he had to accept the truth. There might be some problems with this film.
