Perfect Life

Shuntianfu, a movie theater.

The Matrix on the big screen has come to its final hour.

Qin Wei pursed his lips tightly and looked at the big screen with incomparable concentration.

When it first started showing, he had already looked at it by the light of the screen. Even though it had been released for more than ten days, it is said that the best films should cool down, let alone working days. But this theater may have something to do with its location in a prosperous area. If you look at the theater, the occupancy rate is still nearly half.

And during the entire two-hour broadcast, no one left the venue halfway through.

Exclamations, exclamations, humming every few minutes.

Qin Wei actually took it far more seriously than they did.

As early as when the movie was first released, he wanted to come over to see it, but he never came, and he was a little hesitant—not to mention, over the years from the movie, he was the first to really get angry with him. The person who got it was Li Qian! From the bottom of his heart, he is absolutely unwilling to contribute even a penny to the films of Li Qian and Minghu Culture!

Moreover, there are also hidden concerns. As soon as Li Qian's film was released, many reporters blocked him, threw all kinds of questions to stimulate him, and tried to get a little bit of his evaluation of the film out of his mouth.

Of course, if he can make a big attack, or even attack Li Qian, that would be great—don't even think about it, Qin Wei VS Li Qian, and it's as popular as "The Matrix" , As soon as this news comes out, it will be a fire in three minutes!

So at this time, Qin Wei was really afraid that if he ran out to watch this movie, what would he do if he was encountered by a reporter? If nothing else, I just took a picture of myself in the movie theater, and it was full of mouths that I couldn’t explain clearly—a picture, the reporters could immediately explain it as “Qin Wei showed up. Watching "The Matrix" in a movie theater, after being discovered by reporters and asking about his aftermath, he was silent."

Look, I took the "Matrix" in one fell swoop!

Moreover, going to see Li Qian's mortal enemy movie, even after watching a few criticisms, Qin Wei will feel embarrassed - in case someone responds, who told you to watch it! No need! not welcome!

What a shame!

That letter of breaking up the relationship back then had already made Qin Wei feel a great humiliation, and it was simply the heaviest slap he had ever received in his life! If he came to the movie theater and was humiliated again, he would feel that he would have no face to mix in the domestic film circle in the future - I am not the kind of guy with thick skin like Zhao Meicheng!

However, after thinking and thinking, hesitating and hesitating, he finally came.

The domestic box office of this movie is soaring upwards, breaking all domestic film records and breaking all domestic box office records. With that status in the world, this movie is actually so popular in North America, and it is not inferior to "Jurassic Park 2" - except that the first week of "Jurassic Park 2" was too fierce, It even has the upper hand!

This suddenly hit Qin Wei's key point.

Speaking of which, after making movies for 30 years, he is known as a master at home and abroad. In recent years, he has actually not had much ambition. From the perspective of Chinese-language films, from his own position in Chinese-language films, the goal is lofty. He also tried to make Chinese-language films well, rushing out to earn ticket money for foreign audiences, and promoting Chinese-language culture abroad is secondary. The key is , Earn money from foreigners, that's really cool, that's the real gain of fame and fortune.

From a personal point of view, it is actually getting old and earning more money.

Moreover, back then, the domestic film circle respected art films, and his art films were the best. Now times have changed, and business is king. As the leader of the entire domestic film circle, he also tried to bring China's domestic commercial films to the market. Get up - the phrase "do not seek political affairs if you are not in your position" is actually the reverse. People who are truly capable and talented, once they are in that position, always want to do something that is in line with their identity.

Therefore, earn more money, prepare for retirement, make another contribution to Chinese films, bring out the commercialization of Chinese films, and then go out and earn more money from foreigners—for yourself and for the public, this is a good thing .

And if you want to earn money from foreigners, if you want to earn more, what is the goal?

North America!

He has already conquered Europe. Since he became active in Europe, until "Red Light District" is a peak, whether his art films or commercial blockbusters such as "The Gate of Life and Death" in recent years, he has always been well-received in Europe. Well, it sold well at the box office.

Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, "The Gate of Life and Death" sold very well, proving that his films still have a market and are very popular in this pan-Chinese cultural circle.

However, he has been unable to enter the North American film market for a long time.

The best box office "Life and Death", put it before "Huluwa" and "The Matrix", it can still be taken out to blow it, but now, it is not worthy to carry shoes for others!

And film directors like him, to be honest, have been greatly influenced by European literary films since they were young, so they are really tireless in the pursuit of film art, but on the other hand, in the Their growth period was the period when Hollywood films quickly captured the global market.

Over the years, Hollywood has been almost invincible. Even Europe, which they originally regarded as a temple, has gradually become the back garden of Hollywood movies after entering the 1990s!

The art films that used to be very high at the box office have gradually become lonely. Instead, it is those commercial blockbusters in Hollywood, which are very popular in Europe, one by one reaping the coveted box office.

Therefore, although he has always believed in and pursued the art of film hard, but even the hall of art film in Europe has been broken by Hollywood, how could Qin Wei not see it?

You are welcome to say that although he is touted as a master of art by the numerous art film lovers in China, deep down in his heart, he has never been willing to put himself and the group of people who only know how to immerse themselves in filming and can’t understand them. Also no one likes the so-called art film guys grouped into the same category.

He believed that movies were an art, but he also believed that movies had to be profitable.

So in his opinion, isn't your Hollywood movie very awesome? Then I sell the movie to the United States, sell it to North America, and get a big box office there, that is really awesome!

However, even if he took the commercial route and invested heavily in commercial films, his two commercial films, from "The Gate of Life and Death" to "Golden Terrace", were hardly successful in North America.

This made him very frustrated for a while.

However, at this time, Li Qian actually succeeded!

This surprised him again!

When he learned to admire European literary and artistic films to make art films, in his mind, those film masters in Europe were simply amazing, almost unsurpassable. When he wanted to make money to go to Hollywood to make commercial blockbusters, he had to admit that Hollywood's movies were really awesome.

After two consecutive failures to hit the North American box office market, especially "Golden Stage" failed in China, he once felt that Chinese films, from the perspectives of conception, story, and actors, are likely to be natural. It is not easy for North American audiences to accept.

Therefore, after the "Golden Terrace" hit the street, he took a break. He was recently trying to conceive a new story, and this story, from the beginning of the sketch, he has been considering whether to invite a Hollywood star to be the male lead. It's a thing - take it for granted, this drama must be a foreigner's drama, it can take place in China, but it must revolve around a foreigner.

Therefore, he has been searching and collecting information related to Marco Polo recently.

In his opinion, making a "Marco Polo" and looking for Hollywood's first-line stars to play it may be a good way to break into the North American film market!

However, at this time, "Hulu Baby" was first followed by "The Matrix".

A pure Chinese story, starring an absolutely oriental face, has actually achieved great success at the box office in North America - Qin Wei almost couldn't believe it when he first heard the news!

So, he didn't tell anyone, quietly ran over to buy a ticket and entered the arena.

The movie is really good!

Although Qin Wei came here with all kinds of disbelief and doubts, but after watching the movie for 20 minutes, he was sure that the movie would definitely be very good.

Characters, shots, colors, and even special effects are all top-notch.

The exquisite texture that an excellent movie can bring to the audience from the first shot, this movie is no worse than the top Hollywood blockbuster!

Therefore, the inner scrutiny and questioning, the right to put away.

He began to watch the next hour and a half with a sense of awe and a learning attitude in his heart - not disappointed at all!

So much so that when the movie finally ended and many audience members left their seats while discussing the plot excitedly, Qin Wei still sat there steadily, full of emotion.

He had seen "My Sassy Girlfriend". Li Qian at that time was still relatively young. Even if it was a simple urban romance light comedy, he managed it well, but in fact he could find faults and improve it. There are still many places.

When it came to "Once Upon a Time", after all, it was against the opposite stage. He also took the time to watch it. The scheduling of shots, pictures, and actors has greatly improved, but to be honest, in Qin Wei's opinion, if It's not that his story is really super good, his movie won't look that good!

However, by now, in his third movie that I have seen, his skill seems to have improved by leaps and bounds, and it can even be described as reborn!

Story layout, mirroring style, and screen scheduling are all excellent!

Already a master of the masters!

Sitting blankly on the seat, he couldn't help thinking: "No wonder it's selling so well! He has found the key to telling the story to both Chinese and Americans with unparalleled accuracy!"

...

When the audience was almost gone, the theater staff had already walked in to do a simple cleaning, and when they saw another audience sitting in the seat, they reminded loudly, "It's over, the next show will be shown soon, if you need to watch it again. If you do it again, please go out and buy a ticket."

Qin Wei suddenly woke up and came back to his senses.

Buckle on the big sunglasses enough to cover half of his face, put on the mask, and he got up and left.

Well, in the words of Marco Polo, it is easy to make an oriental landscape film. Of course, it is simple, but it needs to be a little deep. It is also easy to look at China at that time from the perspective of a Westerner, but the story is…

This is to be reconsidered.

In addition to the screening hall, he walked out of the hall while thinking about something, when suddenly, the flash came on.

Qin Wei was taken aback at the time.

When I looked up, I saw a reporter holding a microphone over there. It should have been interviewing the audience watching the movie just now. I don't know why, but I was discovered by a photographer.

At this time, the person who just took the photo had already shouted loudly, "It's Qin Wei, Director Qin!"

In the rest area of ​​the cinema, someone was talking in a low voice. Although it was not noisy, it was definitely not quiet, especially when there were reporters interviewing, which seemed noisy. But when the voice came out, the rest area immediately fell silent—the reporter over there and the photographer with the camera all looked back at the first time.

Qin Wei walked out quickly.

The reporter, with bright eyes, strode over and held the microphone in front of Qin Wei, "Hello Director Qin, have you watched The Matrix just now? What's your comment on this movie? Director Qin, Director Qin …Have you heard the news that the film is a box office hit in North America and Europe? Can you share your thoughts on this? Just a few words…”

Qin Wei didn't care, and quickly rushed out the door.

If he wasn't worried about his image, he might have run away.

He walked out of the movie theater, waited until he came to his car, got in the car, and finally got rid of the reporters. Then, without taking off all his sunglasses and masks, he started the car and drove away from here. Street, UU reading www.uukanshu. Only then did com breathe a sigh of relief and dared to take off his sunglasses and mouth.

However, this is clearly not the end.

More than two hours later, he was sitting at a desk at home and writing about his experience of watching the movie. Hu Fei called and got through. His voice was a little excited, "Old Qin, go to see "The Matrix" "?"

Qin Wei made a "hmm" sound.

"What do you think?"

"Good shot."

"You didn't feel any stimulation, did you have any ideas or something?"

"Yes, but not yet mature."

There was a "crack" on the phone, and it was estimated that Hu Fei couldn't help but patted the table excitedly, and then his voice suddenly became high-pitched, "Great! My brother Qin, brother Qin, I will Waiting for your idea!"

"If you have any ideas, you can talk to me at any time! Funds, how much you want, I'll give it to you, actors, whoever you want, I'll give it to you, no, I'll go to someone's door and kneel, and I'll invite you too! Uh... Uh... Except Li Qian, I really can't invite this one! But anything else, I'll take it for you!"

At this moment, Hu Fei on the other end of the phone was so excited that he couldn't help himself, but Qin Wei on the other end had a calm expression, or in other words, he was mainly calm in his heart.

It seems that a great determination has been made, and then, the whole person is calm.

Calm to the point where the ancient well has no waves.

Facing the phone, he said slowly: "I also think I'm not old, and I haven't reached the point of being eliminated. Then come up with a play to prove that I'm not old!"

I have seen everyone's complaints recently, in the book review area, in the chapters, and in the readership.

Allow me some time to adjust slowly.

Even if the cut is wrong from the beginning, at least this section has to be rounded, right?

Thanks guys! Be patient!
