Chapter 829 Best of the Year
After the film critics' special show ended in China, the film critics' special show in the United States kicked off again.
However, Lin Han was unable to do anything, so he did not go to Hollywood, but the publisher, Twentieth Century Fox, was responsible for contacting him.
This "The Matrix 2" is also the top priority for Fox's release this year. Although the release did not make money by making movies, anyone with discerning eyes knows that Lin Han's sequel is a sure profit!
Therefore, Fox also worked very hard to seize the good time in front of him. After all, the audience was not aesthetically exhausted and their wallets were also bulging at the beginning of the summer season.
Even though there are two blockbusters: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Tarzan of the Apes: Return of the Jungle", to be honest, they are not particularly strong opponents.
Facing these two movies is always better than those Marvel and DC superhero movies!
It is no exaggeration to say that "The Matrix 2" is the real leader of this period. After all, its predecessor was a global billion-dollar box office, and its competitors are probably nervous at this time.
The time before the film is released is getting shorter and shorter, but "The Matrix 2" is like a layer of fog. Except for the official news, there is very little other news!
Whether it is netizens, audiences, media reporters, critics or even competitors, they don’t know how complete Lin Han’s new film is. Compared with the previous "The Matrix", which suddenly appeared, is progress or regression.
At present, the media trial and film critics' special show that had been waiting for a long time has finally finished. Netizens can't wait to wait on the Internet, waiting to see first-hand news.
...
The reporter from CCTV-6 Movie Channel said to the microphone in his hand: "Today we were lucky enough to watch the preview of director Lin Han's new work "The Matrix 2: Reloading" in advance. The film was played for two hours, and the imax effect was almost fully exerted. The sequel was no less exciting than the previous work. Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and others had an extremely wonderful fight with the matrix agents, and at the same time revealed the deeper content of the matrix world. As for the specificity of the film, let's listen to the opinions of professionals!"
"Good evening for everyone, everyone," said the movie channel.
Zhou Chenfei waved at the camera. He looked in his forties, his face looked like the surface of the moon, and the black mustache above his lips was very funny.
The reporter asked, "We just finished watching "The Matrix 2". What do you think of this movie?"
No one would refuse CCTV’s interviews, especially freelance writers like Zhou Chenfei. He needs to rely on media like CCTV to expand his popularity and authority, so he talks about the microphone now.
"The Matrix has almost reached its peak, but The Matrix 2 has not gone downhill. It has inherited and summarized the previous movie well and told more content. The first movie did not deeply talk about the matrix world, but in "Reinstalling the Battle", Lin Han pulled this scroll apart without any haste. It turned out that the matrix world is like this!"
Zhou Chenfei looked very excited, and he was not stingy with his praise at all. "As the second part of the "Matrix" trilogy, this plays a role in connecting the past and opening up the future and explains the whole story of the trilogy. This is a thoughtful and in-depth commercial blockbuster, not the kind of movie that is left behind after watching it, it is worth our repeated reminiscing!"
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou." After seeing Li Wenyuan next to him, the reporter immediately interrupted Zhou Chenfei's words, "Let's listen to the views of the famous science fiction writer Li Wenyuan and see how he evaluates Lin Han's movie."
Compared to the film critic Zhou Chenfei, Li Wenyuan is much more important in terms of weight and fame, not to mention that he is Lin Han’s friend, with so many identities together, no wonder the reporter and videographer of the movie channel would hurry over.
"Hello, Teacher Li, I am a reporter from the Movie Channel. I just saw you applauding loudly after the movie ended. Do you think this is a good movie?"
When Li Wenyuan saw the microphone in front of him, he sorted out the language and replied: "This is not just a good movie, it will be a classic movie. As a commercial blockbuster, the whole movie is wonderful, with the visual effect so good that it is explosive. The mechanical squid siege against Zion, the 100 Smith Agents vs. Neo, the highway pursuit battle and other scenes are extremely shocking."
"What's even more rare is that this commercial film actually shows extremely profound philosophy, but the audience does not need to worry about not understanding it at all. The content is very simple and easy to understand, combined with the film picture and plot, the story is very smooth!"
The reporter asked: "If you want to give it a score, how many points should you give?"
"If you have 10 points, you will give 9 points. The deduction of 0.5 points is because Lin Han edited my supporting role for only one second, and the deduction of 0.5 points is because he is afraid that he will be too proud."
Li Wenyuan did not forget to give a vote for his friends at this time, "Anyway, if you don't watch this movie in the cinema, you will lose 80% of the excitement!"
The beautiful reporter smiled at Li Wenyuan, "Okay, thank you Teacher Li Wenyuan for your interview. Next, let's turn the camera to the actor of Linho in the movie to see what Chu Guang wants to say to the audience."
...
A small part of the reason why the previous movie "The Matrix" had a high box office was because many viewers repeatedly entered the audience to watch.
I haven't read it for the first time, and then I'll read it for the second time; or I haven't read it for the first time, and then I'll read it for the second time, the third time or even the fourth time!
There are many ticket stubs posted by viewers online, and many people have seen them more than once.
Because "The Matrix" is indeed worth savoring repeatedly, until the movie was released, many viewers still chose to buy DVDs and Blu-ray discs and watch them slowly at home!
The advantage of this is that it can be paused or even returned to see the picture just now, so as to facilitate understanding of the plot.
The sales of "The Matrix" DVD and Blu-ray Disc have also created an extremely amazing number all over the world. It sold more than 500 million yuan in China alone, and the cumulative sales in North America reached 120 million US dollars, and the world even received a total amount of 470 million US dollars!
Mainly due to copyright protection, domestic stolen discs have almost no survival soil, so they can be sold so much.
You know, now is 2018, an era when online on demand and TV on demand is on the rise. People only need to see free or paid movies on many video websites or set-top boxes!
It took only half a year to sell so much money, and this is still the case when the DVD and Blu-ray disc markets continue to sluggish. You can imagine the difficulties.
Although there is a gap in the total sales volume of works such as "Find Nemo" and "Monster Shrek", it is already the highest sales record in the past five years!
So the movie is actually very profitable. "The Matrix" not only made numerous profits in the box office, but also countless profits in the surrounding products!
The saying that the box office accounts for only 30% of the total profit of a movie is by no means empty talk, the surroundings are the king!
After the movie was released, the box office would not increase any more, but the surrounding sales will continue to receive money, and Lin Han dug a big gold mine for himself!
This part of the audience who spent money to buy the movie was almost all hardcore. When the movie sequel came out, they were the first group of viewers to buy tickets.
Now these people are looking forward to the release of the movie the most. They can’t wait to choose a seat and wait for the arrival of June 9th.
With two days left before the release, the reputation of "The Matrix 2" has finally been lifted!
Rotten Tomatoes, a well-known American film review website, was the first to lift the ban. Rotten Tomatoes’ freshness is as high as 98%, metacriti’s professional score is 95, and the popcorn index reaches 99%. All indexes are almost the best of the year!
The famous cinemasore cinema chain evaluation has reached the top level of A+, one step further than the A-level of the previous movie!
After the word-of-mouth in the United States was lifted, the media really bombarded the media. Even netizens found it a bit incredible. Can a popcorn movie reach such a high level?
In China, Douban movie ratings have not been opened yet, and you must wait until the movie is released. This is to prevent the navy from winning points. Whether it is one or five stars, it may be winning points.
However, in terms of Maoyan’s professional rating, the first batch of film reviewers who had watched the movie gave the ratings. The professional rating with a full score of 10 was 9.7!
If the critic named Lin Chen had not only given a rating of 8.0, almost all critics had scored more than 9 points, with more than 9 points.
Everyone knows that film critics are the most picky, and if you don’t like it a little, you may be picky.
But this group of people is just the craziest. As long as the movie can conquer them, even if there are any flaws, they can fully accept it!
"If there is no accident, this will be the summer box office champion, and it may even become the annual box office champion. If the global box office is normal, it will be the seed player who will strive for the global annual championship!"
"A very wonderful movie, Lin Han demonstrated his super strength as a director. He is not only an excellent writer, but also an excellent director!"
"Excellent, friendly movie watching tips, don't drink too much water before watching the movie, otherwise you will miss a lot of exciting scenes because of going to the bathroom."
"The exciting science fiction film, the matrix world has finally revealed its true face. Whether Zion is real or virtual, you will understand when you watch the movie."
Chapter completed!
