The field of novels is Lin Han's cornerstone. He stands very steadily here. Even if one or two books fail occasionally, it will not affect his status. .

Every time Lin Han’s books are not a one-time deal, but will be sold repeatedly, because he always has endless topics to talk about. When he wins an award or when the movie is released, it will drive the sales of existing books!

This year, his work focus has not been on novels, and he has even published two or three books, but he still firmly controls the throne of book sales.

There has not been any decline due to the transfer to the film field. Lin Han will definitely not make movies again in the short term, because there are two sequels to "The Matrix" waiting for him to carefully craft them.

That was when he returned to the novel field. After all, it was really unreasonable to not write a new book for such a long time!

The book "The Fall of Heberian" has been on the agenda for quite a long time, but Lin Han didn't even have the intention to write it out. He felt a little absent-minded when he sat in front of the computer and typed. He had to wait until this time to finish his work.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, this year came from January to December, and time passed too quickly.

When Lin Han calmed down and thought about his work this year, he realized that the whole year of work revolved around "The Matrix"!

First, he wrote the script, then wrote novels based on the script and published them. He set up a crew to select actors. After completing the filming work, he then conducted half a year of shooting and post-production. Now when the movie is released, it is the end of the year.

This is the time it takes for a movie to be truly born. Lin Han has shortened this time to one year or even shorter. If it is used by the other directors, it is impossible to complete such a shocking science fiction film in less than a year!

"I'm so tired. I've spent a year on this and I'll have a good rest next year." Lin Han couldn't help but sigh. Before he became a director, he thought that movies were very simple, especially in novels. A few words can make the movie go from project establishment to release.

After a real experience, I realized that things were not that simple. I worked hard to make good movies, but now I have to worry about the box office.

After finally waiting for the box office to improve, I began to worry about gains and losses. Can I get $500 million? Can I get $800 million?

Chen Jiaxuan sat on the rattan chair next to Lin Han, and she snorted with her nose, "It's good to be released within one year. Look at the film "Breaking Out of the Milky Way" produced by Chang'e Pictures, they started production at about the same time as us, but they will not be released until next summer. This progress is even more terrifying."

"Jiu Hong just told me that after investigation and analysis, they felt that "The Matrix 2" would be released in the summer season next year, while "The Matrix 3" would be released in the Spring Festival next year, almost every six months."

"Wouldn't this be too anxious? Other sequels are basically once every two years, and we will always feel that the audience will be bored when watching it!"

Lin Han also knows that these two situations have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no question which one is better.

He pursed his lips and replied: "The audience actually already knows the plot of the second movie. My novel completely spoils the content. However, according to the current sampling survey, 80% of viewers who have watched "The Matrix" want to see "The Matrix 2" as soon as possible, so taking advantage of the current popularity, it will be better next year's summer vacation."

...

The rest of the movie series is one every two years or one year because they need time to shoot and make movies. It is impossible to use a set shot with Lin Han, and make all three movies in one go.

What's more, if they use their way to shoot movies, the cost of "The Matrix 2" will probably have to increase several times, at least the actors' pay will not be so shabby anymore!

Netizens almost didn't believe that such a large-scale film, and three consecutive films, only gave a few starring actors a few million yuan in their respective films, which was not even as expensive as some young actors filmed a TV series!

When Xu Jiayan talked about this matter in Lu Yu's appointment, the entire network was in full swing!

Which actors of the same level as him are not paid tens of millions of dollars?

Even his own pay is definitely not low, and he usually requires box office dividends.

However, in "The Matrix", he only received a salary of RMB 5 million, a cost of RMB 100 million or 200 million. The money spent on the actors is not even as good as the money spent on the props, let alone special effects!

Actors, including Chu Guang, know that a good movie is hard to come by. Although they don’t earn much money in "The Matrix", they open up an upward channel.

I used to be able to earn a few million, but now I don’t want to talk about less than ten million!

Not to mention movies, even the TV series has become a supporting role, Chu Guang has now made a big comeback. While having countless fans, he has also received invitations to a large number of fashion magazines, variety shows, and movies and TV series scripts. It can be said that he is the biggest beneficiary of "The Matrix", and even signed several advertising orders!

Even Shen Yanling, who has long become famous, has made great progress. She wanted to make a fuss when she was at her peak of popularity, but unfortunately, when she returned to China after a few years in Hollywood, she found that her identity was a bit embarrassing.

Now that the Matrix won the box office championship in North America for two consecutive weeks, many Hollywood producers have seen this peerless beauty in the movie!

So Shen Yanling actually got many invitations to heroines that she had never thought of before, such as the latest 007 film, who wanted to find her as a Bon girl. This kind of beauty who can shoot action scenes and is sexy and hot, and has a exotic atmosphere has always been the favorite of Bond movies.

Another rebooted version of "Charlie's Angels" also wants to invite Shen Yanling to star. She is very suitable for Alex, played by Liu Yuling in the movie. Of course, Sony Pictures does not want to miss this opportunity to win the box office in mainland China!

It is said that the female version of "Eleven Arhats" is also in contact with Shen Yanling. It is said that this most awesome women's group in history will also focus on her. I don't know whether to play the leading role or a supporting role.

She has truly entered the mainstream Hollywood film and television industry, rather than playing soybeans in low-cost Hollywood movies!

Every actor has made great progress, and Xu Jiayan is of course no exception.

He had originally shown his face in front of Hollywood with the two movies "Martian Rescue" and "Immortality", which was impressive.

This time, in "The Matrix", people even saw his plasticity. The domestic scripts were completely for him to choose from, and Hollywood also sent a lot of top productions, including the male lead and the villain number one!

However, Li Wenyuan did not choose too much content, but took on a new mummy and another "The Devil in the White City" which is more popular in the art film.

He wanted to enter Hollywood steadily, instead of entering in high profile and being kicked out by the speed of light!

According to the current situation, "The Matrix" is undoubtedly on the last bus of the awards season. According to the plan of the publisher Twentieth Century Fox, the movie will make a difference in many awards.

Among them, there is definitely no problem with the Saturn Award, and the Golden Globe Awards need to be well guided. Maybe you can get the nomination. As for the Oscars, you can only leave it to fate and see God’s arrangements!

These are things that pay cannot bring to them, and they are also what they dream of!

Many actors have sharpened their heads and want to drill into these awards ceremony, and even have caused various farces. Now Chu Guang, Xu Jiayan, Chen Yanling and others can walk on the red carpet of mainstream Hollywood awards with integrity and justification.

This is probably to make many celebrities envious. They would rather take less money than receive such treatment!

Of course, now that the box office of "The Matrix" has exploded, Lin Han can't eat alone. He has asked Galaxy Pictures to contact the agency of these actors to see how much the reward is better.

After all, the promotion of the latter two movies is inseparable from the actors, and at the same time, it also gives certain rewards to those staff. Lin Han is preparing to spend 50 million to do these things.

However, everything is still in a confidential state, so there is still a need to negotiate slowly on how to do it!

Netizens praised the act of "The Matrix" for compressing actors' pay, and even called them the conscience of science fiction and even the conscience of Chinese movies!

The well-known screenwriter Xu Xiaoping wrote on Weibo: "It is said that the pay of all actors in "The Matrix" is not as expensive as a popular young actor. This is the power of innovation! Some film companies can find popular actors at a high price. Being willing to kill and beating is the market rule. Production companies like Galaxy Pictures improve the quality of movies from the perspectives of themes, scripts, visual effects, etc., which is called innovation! However, the value of the entire cast of "The Matrix" will soar, which is also the power of the market!"

"Give me a thumbs up to Teacher Lin and Brother Jiayan!"

"This is the right way to shoot movies. If the rest of the movies can invest the actors' pay in filming and post-production, it will not be that bad movies are rampant now!"

"Although the actors in "The Matrix" are mostly cool, they can also show off when they need acting skills. They confessed that Chu Guang and performed the transformation process of Neo from an ordinary person to a savior very realistically!"

"Teacher Lin is the one who really wants to make movies. Science fiction movies must focus on visual special effects. Unlike some movies that claim to have spent hundreds of millions of special effects and hired Hollywood special effects team Barbara, the results are still ugly."

"It's simply the conscience of the film industry. Xu Jiayan's villain is so charming. He is so bad that people love and hate him. It's amazing!"
