Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office

Chapter 49 "The Matrix" starts, I'm ready

As the movie is released, there are some reports on the Internet.

[The final box office of "This Man from Earth" was 3.2 million, a counterattack for low-budget films. 】

["This Man Came from Earth": The Fundamentalism of Science Fiction. 】

["The Man from the Earth", endless thoughts from "forever". 】

[According to industry insiders, director Qin Feng will share the profit of 1 million yuan! 】

[Chinese-American director Qin Feng has become a dark horse at the box office. Where will his next movie be directed? 】

【…】

Netizens are very satisfied with this film.

They remembered the malicious movie reviews made by the "supreme poisonous tongue" Debuji some time ago, and they all left messages under Debuji's Twitter.

"Hahaha, I'm here to watch. Have you heard? The movie directed by Qin Feng has a box office of 3.2 million! You know, its production cost may be less than 100 million!"

"+1 for watching, I really don't understand what this Debuji is complaining about every day. Has he been hurt by science fiction movies?"

"Onlookers +1, he is famous for his venomous tongue. Sometimes it's not just science fiction movies. He slanders whoever he catches, or he is called the 'Supreme Venomous Tongue'."

"You still don't know, man? Debuji represents the old school of movies. There may be representatives of those schools behind him."

"I'm here to see a slap in the face. Director Qin is such a successful movie, with a box office revenue of 3.2 million yuan at a low cost. What will Debuji say if he knows about it?"

"..."

The netizen's message made De Debuji very angry, and he directly set the comment area to be muted.

After that, the whole world felt much cleaner.

So he sent another tweet:
[I feel deeply anxious about the current audience aesthetics. 】

[They are extremely impulsive, have difficulty distinguishing right from wrong, and have no judgment of their own regarding the information conveyed by film and television culture. 】

[In this regard, I still call on the entire industry to resolutely resist fantasy-themed film and television works, and everything should be dominated by realistic and classic films! 】

[I will always be at the forefront of criticizing fantasy movies!never give up! 】

……

Time flies.

After a month of intense preparations, the day has finally come for the launch of "The Matrix".

Warner Bros. did not invite multiple media outlets, but only used internal resources to do some launch promotion.

On this day, in front of a studio in Los Angeles.

All the main cast members of the movie were present.

Producers, directors, actors, photography editors, service staff, set staff, post-production staff...

There were more than 400 people from all walks of life, even before the extras arrived.

There are a lot of fruit snacks and drinks on the table.

Qin Feng was wearing a black casual jacket, full of energy and handsome as ever. Walking with Asef, he was particularly eye-catching.

The place was crowded and full of joy.

Assistant director Lulia tried the microphone: "Hello, everyone, please be quiet. I would like to invite Director Qin Feng to speak."

The scene gradually quieted down.

Qin Feng took the microphone and faced everyone.

"Hello everyone! I am Qin Feng, the director of this drama. The weather is good today. It is a good day for us to start filming "The Matrix"."

"We have been preparing for a month, and I believe everyone is well prepared. In the coming time, I will work with everyone to complete the filming of the film."

"'The Matrix' is a science fiction action movie with a deeper core and will become a very classic movie."

"Over the past month, I would like to thank manager Yasef and director Tim Burton. I would also like to thank the cast team and martial arts directors for their efforts. Brothers and sisters in all departments, thank you all for supporting this film."

"I am very happy to work with you all, and I hope that everyone can unite as one and overcome the difficulties. Let us make this movie well together and create good box office results."

"thank you all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone applauded.

Everyone is very happy about the launch of the new movie.

Qin Feng handed the microphone to Yasef, "Manager, do you want to say a few more words?" Yasif smiled and waved his hand, "No, you have already spoken very well. Qin Feng, finally turned on the phone, how do you feel now?" how is everything?"

"Very good!" Qin Feng smiled.

Just as he was talking, Keanu Reeves walked over from the crowd.

"Oh~ Mr. Keanu, your figure is getting better and better!" Yasef shouted, touching his beer belly, "If you have any fitness secrets, don't keep them to yourself, you must tell me."

Keanu Reeves smiled and said: "I suggest you learn Tai Chi or run more, Manager Yasef."

Qin Feng also praised: "Mr. Keanu, it seems that the results of the special training are very good. I hope this training experience will be helpful to you."

"Yes, Director Qin, very good! I'm ready."

"I'm ready too."

Kerry Moss walked over. She had a strong figure and a steady pace. She smiled and said hello, "Hello, director, and manager Asif."

"Kerry, you look good too." Qin Feng praised.

"Thank you."

The power-on ceremony was very simple. Everyone took photos and group photos as a souvenir.

After the ceremony, the crew tidied up the scene and immediately started filming as planned.

Since we were shooting in a studio, we gave priority to shots related to the scene we were building.

Filming is not done in sequence. Sometimes, for framing or special reasons, the end of the film is even filmed first.

Two hours later, the first scene officially started filming.

Neo makes his first appearance!

"A001, scene 1, first shot! Get ready...Action!"

Close shot, night, indoors.

Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) is sleeping on the table.

The computer screen is always on, with all kinds of news on it.

He was wearing headphones, and music was playing from them.

Panoramic view, the camera rotates, and you can see that there are many mice, keyboards, phones and other facilities around him.

Sudden!The computer screen went black.

Immediately afterwards, a line of text appeared: [Wake up, Neo...]

Neo woke up as expected. He noticed the text on the screen and slowly sat up.

The text has changed:

[The matrix controls you. 】

"Walter? What's going on?" He looked at it doubtfully and took off his headphones.

Who sent this message?
He tapped the button, and the screen changed:

[Follow the little white rabbit. 】

"White Rabbit??"

Neo was very surprised. He pressed the "Esc" key twice, and another line of text appeared on the screen:
[There's a knock on the door, Neo. 】

Knock knock knock!
As soon as the text was displayed, there was a knock on the door.

Neo trembled and asked, "Who is it?"

A man's voice came, "I'm Cui Yi."

Neo looked at the screen for two seconds. At this time, the text disappeared and the screen went black.

"I'm coming."

"Cut!"

Qin Feng stared at the monitor, held the walkie-talkie, and shouted stop.

"Let's do two more. Photographer, please pay attention to the rhythm when switching lenses."

"Neo, you did well!"
