Chapter 507 Hacker "Reloaded"
On February 23, 2009, the Matrix 2 reinstalled and the Matrix 3 matrix revolution started the 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20th 20
Wang Meng came to Hollywood, and it happened to be the Oscars' award ceremony the day after tomorrow.
Similarly, in the Matrix 23, there are many plots that need to be filmed in the United States.
It will take about the end of March to switch to China. After that, some plots in Europe are needed, and finally China, and filming in the studio.
In the Matrix 23, many actors were added, and many of the actors in the first part were also retained.
The main characters, Lawrence, Choi Tini, Scarlett, Neo, Wang Meng, and Agent Smith, of course, there are also prophets who have changed their appearance, French software in the play, etc.
In addition, the black couple, the white twins were the two that would turn into air, and the Kung Fu master who protected the prophet, etc.
The Kung Fu master is Wu Jing recommended by Wang Meng, and the Medicine Spoon Craftsman is also an actor played by Lin Yongjian of China. Wang Meng, the commander of the Kunlun City Base, invited Chen Daoming, an old actor. The Commander Locke played by him in the second and third movies is also very important.
There are many main characters among them, Captain McLean, who was fighting bloody with the squid army in a mecha, who was sending ammunition from the minions, as well as special software to protect the French, as well as software characters who drove the subway, etc.
The Matrix 2 reinstalls and the Matrix 3 matrix revolution will have too many characters appear.
These characters include almost all actors from all over the world, with the most in China, followed by Hollywood actors, including Japanese, French, Latin, etc.
In the first part, Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing, Sun Honglei and others have completed their mission, and in the second and third part, there are few scenes.
However, Wang Meng added several people from DreamWorks, who are not very important people, but they have been around for a lot of time.
Morpheus's previous lover also appeared in Kunlun City this time, and it was also the cool black woman who was a black actor driving a spaceship.
In general, the entire Matrix 23 is a very large crew.
The special effects used are much more than the first one.
Especially the Kunlun City base, it is completed with special effects, including the battle scenes and the scene of flying out of the base to fight with the robot boss.
Moreover, in the second part, the speed battle is unparalleled and thrilling.
Wang Meng and Michael discussed for a long time, including choosing a place, etc.
There are many plots in European castles, and you still need to go to Europe to shoot.
Apart from special effects, the 8-month shooting time is not long.
The two films were shot continuously, with a total investment of US$300 million, which is actually US$200 million.
The actors' pay and the director's pay account for a lot. Not to mention Wang Meng's starring, deputy director, and script, more than 20 million US dollars. Michael Bay's director fee alone is 10 million US dollars, plus a box office commission of 2.
The heroine Scarlett's pay also reached 14 million yuan.
The remaining Lawrence, Hugo, Chen Daoming, Wu Jing and others also totaled nearly 30 million US dollars.
The cost of the entire crew of actors and directors is $75 million.
The cost of shooting is 12.5 billion yuan, of which special effects account for 50 million US dollars. There is still 55 million, which is the cost of shooting in the crew and the cost of crew members.
The last $20 million is expected to be the cost of publicity.
Until the shooting was completed, it exceeded the estimated $200 million, reaching $2.2 billion.
The startup announced that it would cost $2.8 billion in shooting costs, and by the time of release it would cost $300 million.
Huge overhead, and huge crew?
It is quite echoing the movie. The movie embarks on the journey again, and it reinstalls it in the sense of
This is the effect of striving for excellence, and it is also the result of the film being too large.
It is one level higher than the original matrix revolution and reinstallation.
Two movies were shot continuously, and the cost of one was close to 1.5 billion, which was actually 1.1 billion US dollars. The exaggerated components were the same for each crew, and it was also for publicity.
Compared to the cost of the first part of the game of $85 million, the second and third parts are mainly due to the increase in special effects costs and the pay of actors and directors.
certainly?
If the box office of the first movie is 8.3 billion US dollars, the two movies Matrix Revolution and Reloading will have a box office of at least 1.7 billion US dollars.
A share of 35 is a box office of 600 million US dollars.
Excluding the cost of $2.2 billion, there is also $3.8 billion in revenue.
Even if copy taxes are subtracted, there will be a net income of US$300 million.
However, although the cost is 2.2 billion, there is a difference. The difference is that the advertising costs are 70 million US dollars.
Strictly speaking, $2.2 billion is less $70 million, and there is only $1.5 billion left.
In this way, the revenue orders are at least $400 million in box office, and each piece has a net income of $200 million.
If you add the subsequent audio-visual works, online broadcasts, etc., then there will be more.
Anyway, it is expected that in three years, the two movies will bring at least $600 million in revenue to DreamWorks, which is definitely a terrible number. It's just that the recycling time is a long time.
To be honest, Wang Meng really wanted to shoot such a movie by herself, because she was very good, so she could only be an assistant director to accompany her.
However, it accounts for a large proportion of the leading actors, which is quite good.
Who will remember the director in more than ten years? Unless you really like fans, the starring will surely make many people remember it.
When a group of more than a dozen people came to the stage, Wang Meng looked at it and said, "What a guy, there are so many reporters, but there are no less than 300 hundred people, and I don't even mention the support of countless fans."
but!
When Michael Bay became the first director, many reporters and movie fans were shocked!
"What's going on? Why is Michael sitting in the director's position, Wang is the deputy director and starring actor?"
A white male fan instantly wrote incredible words on his face and exclaimed: "God, is it Michael the last two films of the Matrix that were directors? No way?"
And an Asian-faced fan said: "Yes man, look, Wang is sitting in the position of deputy director, and the director is Michael."
The reporters at the scene were even more shocked. This is definitely big news.
"No way? Michael is the director, and he actually changed positions with Wang. It's incredible!" A reporter asked in surprise?
A reporter next to him didn't think so and said, "Actually, this is not bad. The first part has made classics. The second part is given to other directors to add some fresh blood, which is also a good choice. I feel that it can be accepted."
A female reporter also said: "I agree with this approach. Have you not seen it? The screenwriter, male star, and deputy director are still Wang. In fact, it is still a continuation of Wang's style. But Director Wang wants to add something else. Although Michael Bay is an unlucky guy, he is still of a good level, right?"
Not to mention others, even Michael Bay was a little nervous after sitting down, hoping not to make any mistakes.
"It seems that the reporter was surprised after Director Wang was not a director, Teacher Chen?" Wu Jing was a little nervous when he saw so many reporters, no less than a world-class movie.
In order to ease it, he took the initiative to chat with Chen Daoming.
Chen Daoming looked calm and composed, and Wu Jing admired the demeanor of an artist who was not surprised by his honor and disgrace, and was an experienced person.
"Where is the reputation? I can understand the reporter's surprise. I was also surprised when I first found out. I didn't expect that Director Wang could let go. This is good, and he could only take it. I guess he has a bigger goal." Chen Daoming said.
"Well, it must be!" Wu Jing nodded and said, "But? What movie is better than the Matrix?"
"Hehe" Chen Daoming smiled and didn't say anything.
The production of the Matrix 2 reinstalled and the Matrix 3 matrix revolution was produced by DreamWorks Peak Entertainment production department manager, and Martin Under the Sea was appointed.
In addition, Miller, who jumped from Lions Gate, and Zhang Lantian from DreamWorks, are also part-time producer and planning positions.
This movie spans quite a bit. Heidi Martin is not a woman, but he is very connected in Hollywood and Europe, and can contact and plan shooting many venues.
Miller is the same, and he has a lot of relationships in North America.
Zhang Lantian has great power in China and can assist director Michael to complete the filming in China.
As a subsidiary of DreamWorks, Dingfeng Entertainment is also an investor.
In addition! In order not to be isolated by Hollywood, Warner, who has worked with before, also has an investment of 12.
It can be said that there are several companies who have co-produced it. As for Huayi brothers Wang Meng, he still wants to cheat me? It’s impossible.
Heidi, who is a producer, said: "Thank you all for coming, thank you for your participation
"Neo finally realized his ability and mission. While being shot and "resurrected", he also became an omnipotent "savior". The ending "ascension" symbolizes the birth of human superheroes: Neo will lead the people of Kunlun base to launch a counterattack against the world of machines, and will end this battle with the attitude of a victor, and restore humans to their freedom
