Zhang Dongcheng didn't care about this, he poured himself a glass of water and sat on the sofa for the reception.
About five minutes later, Gibran finally left the computer and said to Zhang Dongcheng: "I'm very sorry, Smith, I was browsing the latest news just now. So I didn't have time to greet you, I hope you don't mind!"
"Of course! I don't know what news is it that makes you, a barrister, so interested?" Zhang Dongcheng asked half-jokingly. Since the last contact with him, Zhang Dongcheng can feel that Gibran is a young man with a young heart. It's not the kind of old stubbornness. A proper joke can narrow the distance between the two and reduce the estrangement. Why not do it?
Sure enough, when he heard Zhang Dongcheng's question, Gibran became elated. Excitedly dancing: "Hey! Smith, do you know about hackers?"
"Hacker?" Zhang Dongcheng frowned, of course he knew about hackers. But to be honest, Zhang Dongcheng doesn't have a good impression of hackers. In his perception, hackers refer to those who specialize in using superhuman computer technology to create some viruses and put them on the Internet, or to cause damage to others! Totally a bunch of lawless criminals.
"Yes! Hackers!" Gibran said excitedly to Zhang Dongcheng, "Smith, did you know? Just yesterday, a group of hackers invaded the website of the US Air Force Global Network and completely changed the content on it. Some Air Force introductions have been completely tampered with news content, and these **** guys have replaced it with a pornographic video. They also said that some official statements by the United States are lying! So far, they have forced the United States to close more than 80 military websites ! This is simply a victory for the common people, isn't it, Smith? Don't you think these hackers are too cool!"
Zhang Dongcheng was a little stunned. He never thought that a doctor of law and economics, and a lawyer by profession, would be full of praise for a group of hackers. This is simply the greatest joke in the world! From Zhang Dongcheng's point of view, Gibran clearly should reprimand these hackers sternly, which is why he agreed with his identity.
Zhang Dongcheng's stunned expression, in Gibran's heart, turned into being completely stunned by the hacker's approach. He immediately began to talk about the benefits of hacking.
"Hackers are simply a myth on the Internet. They display their talents unscrupulously in the virtual world. On the Internet, they are like creators. Now the Internet is getting more and more into people's lives, people like me , If you leave the Internet, you really don’t know how to live. But they are calling the wind and rain in another world, I think they must want to live in that world more than in reality...” Gibran was still talking. But Zhang Dongcheng wasn't listening at all.
Hackers, The Matrix?
Because of what Gibran said just now, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he decided the final movie in his heart.
It wasn’t a sudden whim, Zhang Dongcheng also became more and more aware of the crazy spread of the Internet in the United States. The Internet has been sweeping like a tide since the day it was born, and nothing can stop it.
Countless forums emerged, and countless websites took off. In the late 1990s, the rapid development of computer technology made everything different. A brand new world appeared in front of people.
In the history of film, few film sequels have received as much attention as "The Matrix". Since it was successfully filmed in 1998 and the first episode was released in May 1999, fans have been discussing when the next episode will be, because the first episode is so good-looking and unforgettable.
To cite a few numbers as evidence: Its US domestic box office is 171 million, ranking 76th all-time. At first glance, this may seem unremarkable, but don't forget that it is a restricted R-rated film, and audiences under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent to watch it, which means that teenagers, one of the main audience groups, will be excluded. So the box office of an R-rated film cannot be too high. I don't have the relevant stats at hand, but I believe The Matrix should be #4 or #5 of all R-rated movies at the box office, and I also believe that its sequel is likely to be on that list first place. In addition, "The Matrix" is also the first DVD single with a circulation of over one million copies. Considering the breakthrough and influence it has caused in the subject matter and production of the film, it is no exaggeration to say that "The Matrix" is a milestone work in the history of the development of the film industry.
At the end of the first episode, the protagonist Neo (Neo) re-enters the world of Matrix, indicating that the part that has been released is just a prelude, and the real decisive battle has not yet come. But the prelude is shot with such extraordinary momentum and refreshing, so the decisive battle should be even more exciting.
In fact, since the beginning of 2000, there have been news about the sequel, each of which has been widely reported by the media and repeatedly discussed by fans on the Internet. The film itself was filmed surprisingly slowly: it was started in the spring of 2001, but it has not been fully produced until today, two years later, which really whetted the appetite of movie fans.
Now the long wait is coming to an end, the sequel will be released soon, and it will be two episodes at a time. The second episode "The Matrix: Reloaded" (The Matrix: Reloaded) will be released on May 15, and the third episode "The Matrix: Revolution" (The Matrix: Revolution) will be released on November 3. Regardless of the media or the audience, this is regarded as the top priority in the American film market this year, and magazines such as "Time" have specially done cover reports for it. At the beginning of the year, "Entertainment Weekly" selected the 10 most anticipated movies in 2003. The two sequels of "The Matrix" ranked first, and the finale of "Lord of the Rings" was pushed to the second place.
These are the information churning up in my mind, so it's out of control!
Having been troubled for many days about the choice of the next movie, Jang Dong-seong made a decision in an instant! It's a hacker! Creator in the network virtual world!
From that old TV, Zhang Dongcheng knew that this was a very good movie. This movie not only had an amazing box office, but also had an extraordinary reputation. Even after it was released, it aroused great enthusiasm in the religious circles.
The filming of "The Matrix" started in March 1998 and was completed in August 1998. It took just over five months to film the events. The investment amount is 63 million US dollars.
Although the price somewhat exceeded Zhang Dongcheng's original psychological expectations, it was not too much. He took part of it himself, and the rest could be raised in the name of a short-term film investment fund.
How much did it gross? The trilogy totaled over $1.6 billion! A veritable super gold-absorbing beast!
After thinking about the movie he wanted to shoot, Zhang Dongcheng suddenly fell into a state of sluggishness, thinking about the role in it constantly.
"Smith! Smith! Are you okay?" After talking for a long time, Gibran found that Zhang Dongcheng was distracted. He was a little upset, but after calling Zhang Dongcheng twice but did not get a response, he suddenly panicked.
"Huh?" Zhang Dongcheng suddenly came back to his senses, and said blankly: "I'm very sorry, Gibran, what you said just now made me think of a very good idea. You solved the problem of my next movie!"
"Oh?" It was the first time that Gibran heard that the director came up with a very good idea after he got a certain point and then made it into a movie. All this is like a bridge in a novel. "Hey, Smith, is it convenient for me to know what story you just thought of?"
"Of course!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded and said, "I'm going to make a movie about hackers!"
"Wow!" Gibran exclaimed and praised: "This is so cool! Smith, if possible, I also want to play a role in this movie. I don't know if it is possible!"
This guy Gibran is obviously obsessed with hackers to the point of being crazy. When he learned that Zhang Dongcheng was going to shoot a hacker movie, he wanted to leave his identity as a barrister and play a cameo.
"Of course!" It's just a trick, and by the way, he can get closer to a talent like Gibran, so Zhang Dongcheng certainly doesn't care. Anyway, the number of extras in a movie is not clear, one more is not too many, and one less will have no effect.
"Thank you so much!" Gibran shook hands with Zhang Dongcheng excitedly, then he calmed down and said, "Smith, let's talk about business! Otherwise, the cost of your conversation today will be wasted by these boring gossips." Already!"
Facing Gibran's joke, Zhang Dongcheng smiled noncommittally, and said, "I don't know how the plan I entrusted you to do is now?"
"I'm done!" Saying that, Gibran left the sofa, walked quickly to the desk, and took out a document from the drawer.
"This is the detailed plan I made. As a fund, it must deal with banks. I wonder if Smith has a bank you trust?" Gibran asked while handing the plan to Zhang Dongcheng.
"A bank?" Zhang Dongcheng frowned, opened the proposal but didn't look at it immediately, but thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Sorry, Gibran, I don't seem to have any particularly trusted bank! I wonder if you can give me a good suggestion?"
"It's my honor. Do you know anything about East West Bank?" Gibran gave full play to his lawyer's duties. Solve all the troubles for Zhang Dongcheng. Immediately proposed the name of a bank.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Zhang Dongcheng didn't care about this, he poured himself a glass of water and sat on the sofa for the reception.
About five minutes later, Gibran finally left the computer and said to Zhang Dongcheng: "I'm very sorry, Smith, I was browsing the latest news just now. So I didn't have time to greet you, I hope you don't mind!"
"Of course! I don't know what news is it that makes you, a barrister, so interested?" Zhang Dongcheng asked half-jokingly.
