You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 756 The First Year of Domestic Science Fiction Blockbuster: 03!
On August 8th, Keanu Reeves also came to China. After Jiang Yan finished the road show of "When a Man is in Love" and the cameo appearance of "Kung Fu" by Star Master, he joined the crew of "The Matrix 6" at Peking University and Fuda University. Attended two student meet and greets.

Jiang Yan participated in "The Matrix 2" in April 2001. At that time, his reputation was not as high as it is now, and the title of "Son of the Wind" had not yet been worn on his head.

So when Jiang Yan joined "The Matrix 2" to replace the role of "Chang Wei" in the original version, the crew and directors actually didn't have much idea.

Anyway, they are all Chinese, as long as they can fight.

As for the fact that Jiang Yan was somewhat famous, everyone didn't feel much at ease.

But who would have thought that a few months later, Jiang Yan would become famous all over the world with "Zon of the Wind".

So in the following days of "The Matrix 2", the directors, the Wachowski Brothers, wanted to ask Jiang Yan to come over and shoot some shots more than once.

Jiang Yan also agreed, there is no reason not to agree, after all, this is The Matrix, it is a super blockbuster movie, I would like to have a few more shots, but the money must not be sloppy, we can't just do whatever you say Don't talk about rewards, so in the end after a few rounds, Jiang Yan got a share in this film. According to the box office of the original time and space, this wave of Jiang Yan can earn 3000 million US dollars, which is not bad.

In addition, because Jiang Yan participated in two additional shots in the later stage, this also added another month to the final production time of "The Matrix 2", which had originally been filmed for more than a year.

Filming started in March 01 and ended in September 3. It was a marathon-level production process.

After a burst of cheers, the interview session began.

During the dispute, Lao Jianglong convinced Xin Jianglong to believe the truth. They were clones, and they were already No. [-] and No. [-].

Everyone felt very cordial to Jiang Yan's humorous way of speaking as always, and at the same time, the catchphrase "becoming a dog" became a catchphrase in 03 ahead of schedule under such circumstances.

"I'd probably kill the other one first."

In the words of the current media people, "Moon" by Xingchenhai has opened the door for domestic sci-fi. All movie fans are looking forward to Xingchenhai's next real sci-fi blockbuster.

If this is the case, it is not a question of whether the technology can catch up, but a question of whether it can be popularized. After all, the technology is cheaper and the quality is guaranteed, which can really benefit the entire industry.

Therefore, after the release of "Moon", future filmmakers also defined 03 as the first year of domestic science fiction blockbusters.

No matter how powerful you are, how famous you are, this is the rule.

Keanu, who you regard as a benchmark, and the director of "The Matrix" have seen it and said it is good, so what do you say when the time comes.

Hu Ge replied in a low voice: "Actually, the little green man has not been used a few times. Most of the time, Jiang Yan performed by himself without real objects."

"nice!!"

"I think it's okay..."

"That's not to say, each has its own advantages, I just think that Jiang Yan can actually be bolder, and the sci-fi movies made at this cost are not enough to watch."

good guy!

And it's pretty much the same for audiences and critics alike.

From Jiang Yan's point of view, business bragging is actually only a small part of it, and it's more about the appreciation among friends and the recognition of their respective talents.

There are also superstars like Brother Long who have extensive influence in Hollywood and even the world. Some people insist that he is just bragging.

In this regard, Jiang Yan knew the situation, but Jiang Yan would not listen to those who are clear about themselves, let nature take its course, and time will wash out the real answer.

Unsurprisingly, there was continuous applause in the theater.

Looking at the surface of the moon, the lunar rover, the earth in space, and the various details presented in the film, the people present, even the most critical film critics, could not say "shoddy production" at this moment.

. . . . . .

And after these exaggerations and belittlings have been transmitted layer by layer, many people's views have become very torn.

Because the next part of the film is two Jiang Yan acting, which is naturally a big attraction in the entertainment industry, so how will Jiang Yan behave?

Clap la la la.

Of course, there are still many promising ones. After all, the investment in "Moon" is not large, but it is indeed a good film.

Because the quality of "Moon" is right there, before you read it, everyone would think that these foreigners may have received money for their praise, but after watching it now, if these foreigners don't say good things, it is estimated that there will be a lot of good things. People have to call them blind!

After a simple opening ceremony, "Moon" began to play.

Of course, Jiang Yan didn't recognize this way of doing things.

For example, some artists have made a little achievement abroad, or some pheasant awards for public relations, and everyone makes a fuss about it, but in fact there is no gold content at all.

The audience sensed a strong taste of suspense, and the protagonist also sensed this in the following time, and soon, when he reasonably broke through the blockage of the intelligent robot and returned to the scene of the accident, he found another himself!
At this point, the idea of ​​the whole film began to become clear.

The current "Matrix 2" is so strong that individuals will prefer it instead of the domestic "Moon".

It turns out that Jiang Yan is so awesome abroad!
Not only that, the two Wachowski brothers are also fans of Jiang Yan, and the son of the wind called the son of the wind so affectionate.

So the theme of cloning is quite new at this time, which also makes the shock of "Moon" at the moment, in fact, no less than the brain hole of "The Wandering Earth" that people later knew.

Among them, the interaction and friendship between Jiang Yan and Keanu have also been noticed by countless domestic reporters and movie fans.

He came to make trouble, what Jiang Yan has to do is to beat him back!
No matter who initiates the public opinion, it is still because the society has developed to a certain level, and the Chinese people have excessive emotions towards domestic films.

So the gap between the star sea and Hollywood that the media is exaggerating these days does seem a little too much.

In addition, considering the current pressure on "Moon" and the stars and seas, Jiang Yan simply came up with a big one.

"Yeah, there is no shortage of technology now."

Even compared with "The Matrix 2" in the same period, "Moon" is only less than 800 million behind in terms of box office, and this is the result of "The Matrix 2" being released 5 days earlier.

So far, the sci-fi core of the "Moon" film has been fully unfolded.

In the following days, various topics such as "The Matrix director seeks cooperation", "Keanu Reeves' idol", "Jiang Yan's overseas influence" and so on became the hottest topics at the moment.

So those who say that Jiang Yan is gold-plated abroad, let's rest. Which gold-plated singer has you seen so many fans of big names and directors?
So Keanu Reeves' trip to China was an invisible proof to Jiang Yan of his status in the world, which made the fans who supported him and the relevant media vent their anger.

"I don't know when the next sci-fi blockbuster will be shot."

So Jiang Yan directly invited Keanu to watch his movie "Moon".

But still can't stand some people counting this box office on him, and he has become one of the most box office actors in China.

Accompanied by the red box office, there are various high-scoring evaluations of "Moon".

At this point, the film ends.

This made a group of domestic guys proud.

"There is no particular reason, but the company was very busy some time ago, and I myself was too busy to become a dog. I wish I could turn into a monkey grandson, pluck out a handful of hair and blow it into hundreds of them to help with the work. As soon as the idea came out, there was I came up with such an idea, and after having the idea, I just encountered an epidemic again, so I simply shot it directly.”

Anyway, this time Jiang Yan will never be used to it.

The rescued Lao Jianglong met a "newcomer" himself. After a period of inevitable madness and self-doubt, the two gradually calmed down, and then the two had their first communication.

Compared with movies of other themes, this number is obviously not enough.

The subsequent development of the plot also confirmed this point.

For example, Hu Ge's classmate Yuan Hong asked in the audience: "Is it really that simple? Why do I feel that Jiang Yan is hiding his clumsiness?"

So up to now, many people really think that Jiang Yan is blowing it up, just to go out to be gilded, and then come back to make money.

But the media didn't listen. This trend is not so easy to suppress. If it goes on like this, Jiang Yan might become a mocking example for the latecomers in the future.

The information is underdeveloped these days, not to mention foreign countries, even domestic news can change beyond recognition after being circulated a few times.

All of a sudden, whispers started in the theater.

"Sissy is so pretty..."

From discussing the special effects scene at the beginning to now discussing the direction of the plot, this all proves that this film is not a bad film.

And the most important thing is that this idea is still thought of by Chinese people, so watching such a film whose rhythm and picture are not inferior to Hollywood, the audience in the theater can't help feeling a sense of pride, which is a bonus item!
For the actors, filmmakers and other show business audience present, "Moon" has shocked them more than others so far.

But everyone also knows that such an idea is not realistic, and the latter part of the film also confirms this point, that is, not all of the film is special effects.

It was at this time that many domestic movie fans knew that Jiang Yan still had the nickname "Son of the Wind" abroad.

This has also been confirmed by the intelligent robot Xiaoxing. They are indeed clones, and a new one is activated every three years and memory is implanted. The disease in Lao Jianglong's body is not caused by radioactive elements that destroy the body, but by clones. The body itself is set to have a service life, and the two fell into deep despair after learning the truth.

A cameo can count the box office on your own head?

Douban evaluation, 8.8 points.

Then when the host asked about it later, everyone found out that the two had known each other for a long time and were friends. The key was Keanu or Jiang Yan's fans!

The host then asked the audience.

How should I put it, perhaps out of inferiority complex, some people in China have always had great doubts about Jiang Yan's influence abroad.

"Yu Feihong is so beautiful!"

And the answer is no surprise.

But there's nothing to say about this, it's nothing more than martial arts moves or something. Jiang Yan knows martial arts. This was made public during "Swordsman", so if I really want to talk about surprises, only Jiang Yan and Keanu will cooperate. It was a surprise.

"Is "The Moon" any good?"

A Chinese actor just got attached to a Hollywood blockbuster movie, which is actually more exciting than the previous topic of "two movies broke [-] million". Jiang Yan really can't stand this kind of evil spirit.

Just like that, on August 8th, Jiang Yan, Keanu, the Wachowski brothers, and many domestic filmmakers and film critics gathered at the flagship store of the Star Cinema in Shanghai, including the one who shouted that Jiang Yan would shoot something special. Veteran media personnel of the film were also invited.

But in matters of public opinion, sometimes the east wind prevails over the west wind.

"Jiang Yan, "Moon" is the third movie you starred in, but the genre is very different from the previous two. Can you tell us any special reason?"

In addition, Jiang Yanding can't understand the behavior of this group of media.

If he can't save himself in such a situation, it basically indicates that he is going to die, because he is the only one in the whole moon, and no one can come to save him.

In this series of scenes, most of the shots are done with special effects.

This kind of statement is naturally a joke to people with comprehensive knowledge, but in fact not the vast majority of people have comprehensive knowledge these days, so this kind of remarks has always been popular.

Start with small films first, so that everyone is mentally prepared, and then the time for big films will gradually mature.

Either they admire Jiang Yan very much, or they scold Jiang Yan in their dreams.

It is to learn from the advanced experience of Hollywood and enhance film exchanges between the two countries.

Soon, the answer will be revealed.

In one scene, one person plays two roles. The two roles are Jiang Long himself, but they have similar but different mentality and personality. The most important thing is that the performances of these two Jiang Long are so natural.

You know, the release time of "Moon" just happened to coincide with "The Matrix 2".

"This must be a clone!"

This day, Jiang Long went to work as usual, but he encountered an accident and was trapped in the mining truck.

Everyone always thinks that Jiang Yan is selling melons and boasting to Wang Po. He has won several Grammys and Billboard championships several times.

Several foreigners who are Jiang Yan's friends gave "Moon" high marks.

This series of scenes highlights the protagonist's longing for home and relatives all the time and his desire to go home in two weeks.

So even if "Moon" is really a masterpiece of men in the future, at least it is difficult to revoke it now.

So no matter how much you lose now, you can't lose anything, so if you give it a little convenience, you may gain a lot in the future, why not do it?
So the general tone was set, and the media, as Jiang Yan expected, continued to report following the idea of ​​"licking", changing from "rival" to "learning". Of course, there will be a sentence in the back: hope Stars and Seas can gain something through this time, bringing more surprises to domestic science fiction. . .

The protagonist works alone, usually accompanied only by an intelligent robot. Over the past three years, this kind of work rhythm has given him the habit of talking to himself. The protagonist misses his hometown, loves his wife and daughter deeply, and his wife is everywhere In his spare time, he chatted with the flowers he raised for fun, and sometimes he made models of the streets of his hometown. Sometimes he had hallucinations that burned his hands, and he often dreamed of his wife in his dreams.

After all, it is really rare for a Chinese star to cooperate with a big Hollywood name.

So licking!
Therefore, Jiang Yan has repeatedly stated that he is only a cameo, hoping not to exaggerate his contribution to "The Matrix 2".

What to say from the gap between "Moon" and "The Matrix 2" to see the gap between the film industry of China and the United States, how many years are there.

This score may drop a lot in the future, but at least now it proves that this is another masterpiece of Stars and Seas and a milestone of domestic science fiction.

And his idea was immediately supported by Han Sanpin.

"Didn't Jiang Yan say it all? This film is about testing technology. If possible, there will be a big scene next time."

Some people say that Chinese people's understanding of science fiction is several centuries behind that of Americans. Look at "The Matrix 2" and then "Moon", it is simply incomparable. . .

But for domestic science fiction, it is already an unsurpassable height.

As a result, the next shot after the line of sight went dark was the protagonist waking up in the base. At this time, the audience was stunned, and the protagonist was also stunned.

On the other hand, the global box office of "The Matrix 2" has exceeded 5 million US dollars, even though Jiang Yan has repeatedly stated that he is only a cameo, not a starring role.

So many film critics who watched "Moon" for the first time thought there, that maybe the sea of ​​stars and Hollywood is really far behind, but at least in terms of special effects in this respect, the sea of ​​stars is indeed the top in China, and it is also The closest company to Hollywood technology.

Next, accompanied by the strange dubbing, starting with the image of the protagonist Jiang Long in motion, the rhythm is still simple and lively, the camera sweeps the environment of the moon base, showing Jiang Long’s workflow: leave the base, drive the lunar rover to mine the general A tank of helium-3 collected was taken back to the base and automatically launched back to the earth by the spacecraft.

The audience laughed.

"Moon" was an experimental film in the early publicity of Stars and Seas. It spent less than 1000 million yuan and tested various technologies in preparation for future blockbusters.

By August 8, "Moon" was released for two weeks, and the box office had already exceeded 16 million.

Watching such a performance, the actors are both envious and admired, while the filmmakers are appreciative and full of doubts: How did this filming, this technology, there is no flaw, awesome!

"Both are me, my god, I might go crazy if I do it differently."

On the other side, the filmmakers and entertainers in the theater were equally excited.

And even if he said that acting is stress-free, would this really be taken seriously in the eyes of a real expert?
Only fools believe Jiang Yan's words. It's really that simple. You can find someone else to try it. It is estimated that no one in the new generation can catch up with Jiang Yan.

At the same time, although he will be able to return to Earth in two weeks, the protagonist often suffers from headaches and begins to be unable to do physical training, which also implies the fact that he has been terminally ill after working in the environment of radioactive elements all year round.

At the end of the film, Lao Jianglong and Xin Jianglong cooperated, Lao Jianglong sacrificed himself, and Xin Jianglong successfully returned to Earth, and the anti-human conspiracy about Morningstar Industries was also announced to the world.

""Moon" is almost a one-man show for you alone. We all know that it is very difficult for one person to play two roles. Do you feel pressure when performing it?"

So since "Moon" was released on August 8, even though Xingchen Dahai had long said that it was just an experimental film, there were still a lot of mindless public opinion slandering "Moon" in the world.

"There is no pressure, because there is new technology support, I will let the company release some filming highlights later, you will know after watching, I am actually playing with the little green man."

"The media has no limit, so I think this movie is better than The Matrix."

At the scene, Keanu, Jiang Yan, Yuan Heping and the two director brothers chatted about the fun of filming together, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

The general environment is indeed the same, especially for science fiction films, if foreigners say it is good, then it is really good.

He has already thought of the title.

that's the truth.

With this premise, Keanu and the others came to see, and the sensitivity was much less.

Others say that Xingchenhai advertises the strongest domestic technology, but in front of a movie in Hollywood, it becomes a small sampan hitting an aircraft carrier. After that, I have to add: Chinese people need to remain humble. This is aimed at Xingchenhai and Xingchenhai. Jiang Yan.

So regarding Jiang Yan's honor, many people don't understand the Grammys and the bulletin boards, and they completely depend on the media's announcement. During this period, there are so-called exaggerations and belittlings.

"Jiang Yan is so handsome!"

This kind of routine is still believed in 20 years later, let alone in 2003 now.

What’s wrong with lagging behind? We’re not lagging behind. The key is that you have to work hard to catch up. You see, Stars and Seas are very good now. This special effect is done by Hollywood at this level. Not to mention the entire mainland, it can be found in the whole of Asia. No second home?Not satisfied?

Otherwise, those people will definitely bring him up to speak out in the future, which is a bad start.

And Hu Ge's expression became even more dignified, but the next second he thought that he would have to bleed heavily to treat the students to dinner in order to thank everyone for their crime of entering the sea of ​​stars, and Hu Ge's expression collapsed again. . .

Therefore, many people in the industry are saying that strictly speaking, this film is not worse than Hollywood's. It has many advantages, and it can be called a benchmark of domestic science fiction films.

"It's easy to handle. If the host calls me later, I'll just ask."

During the discussion among the audience, Jiang Yan and two other guest actors, his wife (Yu Feihong), and his grown-up daughter (Liu Qianqian), came on stage.

As soon as these words were said, the students around Hu Ge gasped, and then exclaimed that they were amazing.

But until Jiang Yan and Keanu Reeves met in China this time, and the scene of their meeting was broadcast in the media and on camera, the domestic media and many "worried" people immediately felt relieved, and With that comes a huge sense of pride.

Next, the film took a relatively long time to describe Jiang Long's daily life in the moon base alone and his psychological state.

"Okay, I thought so too."

And many people actually believe it!

Whether "Moon" can compare with "The Matrix 2" at the box office, Jiang Yan definitely has no hope, after all, these two films are not at the same level.

But such a first-line superstar in Europe and America, when he saw Jiang Yan, he changed his handsome face in the cold storage, and his sunny smile climbed up in an instant, and he opened his hand and shouted "Joey, long time no see" regardless of the host's introduction. "Hug up.

And it is said that the whole film cost less than 1000 million yuan?

The film critics were slightly disappointed by this, but with the development of the plot, this disappointment has long been replaced by a huge surprise.

Keanu and the others are friends of Jiang Yan, among whom Keanu and Jiang Yan are friends with colorful emotional lines. In addition, Jiang Yan also showed his shareholder status in Warner, and the other party quickly approved this proposal. Yes, because China's film market may be huge in the future, but at least it's just icing on the cake for now. The box office performance of "The Matrix 2" in China is expected to be only a mere 500 million US dollars, which is the level of teeth.

Followed by repeated discussions.

So under the yelling of various media, more and more early adopters walked into the theater.

As for showing off your acting skills?He doesn’t need to show off this point anymore, it’s already recognized and he’s going to show off. Han Sanpin said that this year’s Golden Rooster is almost certain that he can be nominated for Best Actor with "When a Man is in Love", and now that "Moon" comes out, he There are now two films nominated for Best Actor, so it's good to talk about it without any trace at this time.

After some routine questions and questions from the audience, the host then threw the questions to Keanu and others who had just been invited to the stage.

Jiang Yan will definitely not be sloppy in this link of showing off his technology. Science fiction movies, why not promote it if you don't promote it.

At the meeting, the college students were very enthusiastic about Jiang Yan and other main creators, and the guest appearance of Jiang Yan also attracted many questions on the spot.

So now, the big names from Hollywood have all said yes, and they have also shown an unexpectedly strong willingness to cooperate. At this time, domestic media people estimate that they will soon be high-ranking.

"Indeed, Jiang Yan's Sea of ​​Stars is not short of money."

Strictly speaking, the brain hole of clones in "Moon" is actually the same in the eyes of later generations, but it can't stand that this is in 03 when information transmission is relatively closed. Although Hollywood has already had clone-themed movies, such as 97 "Clone", but that film was not popular, and the blockbuster "Escape from Clone Island", which was very popular later, has not yet come out at this time, and it was not until 05.

It was the same for Jiang Yan. On the stage, he and Keanu had a handshake between acquainted friends, and then they began to tease and chat with each other.

He doesn't do such shameless things.

But now the public opinion environment has also become more wild, which can be seen from the many public opinion pressures Jiang Yan suffered when the box office of "When a Man Is in Love" fell short of expectations in the first two weeks.

So at the beginning, what Jiang Yan asked for was just to pave the way for the domestic science fiction environment.

The reason is naturally because of Jiang Yan's amazing acting skills!

"I didn't expect that 1000 million yuan could do this."

Keanu even asked Jiang Yan to sign for him on the spot.

But what many mainland students and the media don't know is that for Keanu and others, it is a surprise to be able to cooperate with Jiang Yan!

"The Matrix 2" is now popular all over the world, and Keanu Reeves has also become a hot first-line superstar in Hollywood.

People with these two extremes, especially the latter, are actually a minority, but after eliminating these people, there are not a few people who are not too radical but still have such thoughts.

The opening adopts a montage-style concise technique, relying on narration and camera switching, and the background of the story is clearly introduced in one and a half minutes: In the near future, with the rapid advancement of technology, the pollution of the earth is becoming more and more serious , an energy company named Morning Star Industry came into being. The company is committed to the development of lunar energy. Astronaut Jiang Long is an employee sent by the company to the moon. He has lived on the moon far away from the earth for nearly 3 years. It's time, and he is about to complete a 3-year employment contract signed with Morningstar Industries, and what he needs to do is to mine the original energy in the lunar soil on the surface of the moon-helium-3.

After waking up, Jiang Long accidentally heard a one-on-one conversation between the robot and the headquarters, and the intelligent robot Xiaoxing quickly cut off the conversation when he saw Jiang Long, which deepened Jiang Long's doubts about the truth.

The Wachowski brothers said that if they have the opportunity, they would like to shoot Jiang Yan's book, and the cold-faced handsome Keanu is in front of everyone, so Jiang Yan must not forget his good friend, and let him be a Jiang Yan in the future Inflammation protagonist.

All kinds of far-fetched evidence say that Brother Long is not well-known in Hollywood, the box office of hundreds of millions of dollars is fake, the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award is a consolation prize, and so on.

"Jiang Yan's acting is great, but I still don't understand some parts, why don't we watch it again tomorrow?"

The film critics also thought the same way. They felt that if the following plot did not collapse, they would have to avenge the domestic sci-fi film after it got out.

The film critics at the scene, including the old media person who had previously yelled that Jiang Yan should do something serious, were all attracted by the film's imagination at the moment.

And "Moon", which received various praises such as "the first domestic sci-fi blockbuster", "the first Hollywood-level domestic sci-fi film", "Jiang Yan played two roles and played the ultimate loneliness", etc., has also officially become popular at the box office.

Han Sanpin quite agrees with this, technical exchanges, these are the top favorites.

Hahaha. . .

Attentive audiences must be aware that the film has set the tone of tragedy from the very beginning.

But now, the movie is being screened all over the world. As one of the actors, Jiang Yan naturally has to help stand on the stage in the mainland according to the contract.

As for "When will the next real sci-fi blockbuster of Stars and Seas come out", this is the question that fans are most concerned about at the moment.

Various media also interviewed Jiang Yan, and attached Jiang Yan's original words on their respective pages:

"Mars is still farther than the moon, so don't worry, the spacecraft has already started, and it is expected to arrive at the destination as soon as next year."

This sentence with an overwhelming amount of information immediately excited all movie fans, sci-fi fans, Jiang Yan fans, and even moviegoers. . .
