Zhang Dongcheng smiled noncommittally, swallowed the soy milk in his mouth, and said, "Actually, I know the author of this report!"
Patricia's eyes widened suddenly, she looked at Zhang Dongcheng suspiciously and asked, "Smith, you won't tell me that this report was written by you?"
It's not surprising that Patricia has this kind of suspicion. During the release of many movies, they will do everything possible to promote them! Self-promotion is naturally the most common among them!
"Of course not!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and said, "I have absolute confidence in The Matrix! As for Miss Selina, it's just that I was interviewed by her during the film production!"
"It looks like this Miss Selina must be very beautiful!" Patricia's tone was a bit sour.
After what happened last night, only the last layer of window paper remained between Zhang Dongcheng and Patricia, and everyone knew it.
Zhang Dongcheng pinched Patricia's upturned nose affectionately, and said, "Yes, Selena is indeed a very beautiful beauty!"
Patricia snorted, and arbitrarily dragged away the report from the Los Angeles Film Newspaper, and handed a new newspaper to Zhang Dongcheng.
"Entertainment Weekly"!
If Zhang Dongcheng remembered correctly, this was one of the newspapers that mocked him unscrupulously back then.
Zhang Dongcheng opened the newspaper full of curiosity, and began to read how the newspaper reported about The Matrix!
"The Matrix, a groundbreaking work that perfectly blends Hong Kong and Hollywood!"
Just a title made Zhang Dongcheng have a lot of thoughts of complaining, but he still calmed down and read it with interest.
"To be honest, during the filming of The Matrix, many people were not optimistic about Smith Zhang's idea. Many people even ridiculed that this movie would become a Waterloo in Smith Zhang's film career, predicting that he would be a star. Meteors in the circle of film directors will fall silent after they shine.
But in fact, those who criticized him before, including us, were wrong!
The story of The Matrix is still rigorous and complete, but it needs to be further tested by the sequel. But the various fierce and hot fighting scenes in the film undoubtedly opened another door for countless filmmakers.
As we all know, since the death of Bruce Lee, the once popular Chinese Kung Fu has declined rapidly. However, Smith Zhang's The Matrix has brought this miraculous fighting kung fu into bloom again.
Before the film was released, who would have thought that the subject of Chinese Kung Fu would be associated with science fiction? But Smith Zhang thought of it, couldn't help thinking of it, and put it into action, and finally achieved a jaw-dropping success
I think the Wachowskis must now regret selling the script to Smith? "
After reading the newspaper report, Zhang Dongcheng chuckled lightly. It seems that these media have noticed the surging momentum of the Matrix, which is unstoppable! So take advantage of the time to change your words quickly and restore your reputation.
After letting go of this report with no connotation and pure praise, Zhang Dongcheng changed another report again.
"New Jersey Express" is also a newspaper that had bad-mouthed Zhang Dongcheng before.
"The perfect unity of art and commerce."
"The Matrix, which was not favored by anyone during filming, made those who had sworn before feel ashamed once it was released. I believe that there will be countless comments on the commercial success of The Matrix. Here I am I won't go into details. This time I want to talk about the connotation and philosophy of the film.
In fact, this is a movie about the destructive threat of human civilization. "Crisis of civilization" has always been the enduring theme of human movies. From the "nuclear panic" during the Cold War ("Dr. Strangelove", "Planet of the Apes"), to the "alien invasion" that has never stopped since the 1970s and 1980s (there are countless), and then to the "artificial war" brought about by technological progress. intelligent"…
Film screenwriters tried every means to destroy human civilization and show the insignificance of human power. Rather than saying that it is caused by the sense of crisis of "born in distress" of human beings, it is better to say that it is the greed and selfishness of human beings that are at work.
Human beings claim to be the masters of the earth, fearing that the civilized world formed after thousands of years of evolution will disappear from now on, so they start advocating "protecting the earth", "protecting the environment", "opposing nuclear war", "restricting artificial intelligence" and so on. Wait.
If this is not the case, these may threaten the long-term stability of human society and the rule that lasts for many generations, then maybe no one will stand up and call for such and such advocacy. Fighting in the nest seems to have become a matter of course. Human wars are everywhere all the time. People kill each other and disputes continue.
As SWAT Smith said in "The Matrix", human civilization is based on a certain territory to multiply and destroy, to argue and fight with each other, and to start over in another place when all resources are used up. It’s no wonder that the first “matrix” established by the AI system is completely unable to adapt to human survival, and people cannot enjoy comfort at all, because human nature is not comfortable, and it really shames the Creator to call the human environment the word “civilization”.
Artificial intelligence is also the product of the bad qualities of human beings—driven by laziness, enslaving thoughts, and dominant nature, the creative human intelligence invented artificial intelligence. Perhaps in the future, we can see countless AI robots being created to serve humans and replace most of the basic jobs of humans. We can see movies full of mechanical butlers that replace human masters and carry out various social activities.
Then, gradually, human beings evolved into fat heads, big ears, and a very lazy look. After draining the last resources of the earth, they traveled the universe by boat to find new habitats.
Another ending is that the AI robots depicted in "The Matrix" and "Terminator" start to think independently, and suddenly realize that they have been enslaved by humans, so they openly resisted and won the war, thus inverting the deprivation. human freedom. It is a kind of vengeance for human betrayal.
The Matrix gives people a warning! While we enjoy technology, we must understand that all of this comes at a price! "
After putting down this report analyzing the commercial and artistic aspects of The Matrix, Zhang Dongcheng looked at the few remaining newspapers while drinking delicious soy milk.
"The Matrix, it's a release, a shift of energy that ignites you and makes you dizzy." - The Washington Post
After reading several praiseworthy reports, Zhang Dongcheng finally found "Los Angeles Media News", a media that is as inexhaustible as he is.
"The Matrix is finally released, but after seeing the real film, it makes people feel extremely disappointed. Although The Matrix shows the brilliance of Hollywood and Hong Kong in one, it cannot be compared with John Woo's "Face Changing". Its attractiveness The only difference is in the special effects. But even so, there are many unsatisfactory places in it! In short, this is a boring work piled up with special effects! Smith Zhang is indeed exhausted! His bright meteor is in After blooming an eye-catching light, it is finally about to disappear!"
Gavin and Ander really deserved to regard Zhang Dongcheng as their deadly enemy. Even after the success of The Matrix, when countless newspapers changed their positions and began to praise The Matrix, they still acted like clowns, smearing The Matrix and Zhang Dongcheng unshakably!
After eating the love breakfast brought by Patricia, Zhang Dongcheng began to look at the remaining newspapers. The Matrix has already started to be shown, he doesn't need to worry about what he won't get, but he can relax himself wholeheartedly.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Boom! Boom! Boom! …
There was a fierce knock on the door, and Adaman's surprised and excited voice came from outside the door. "Smith, open the door quickly, I have received the box office data for the first day!"
"Huh?" Zhang Dongcheng's face brightened, he put down the newspaper in his hand, and was about to stand up and open the door for Adaman.
"Let me come!" Patricia smiled gently, like a gentle and virtuous housewife, stopped Zhang Dongcheng's behavior, and came to the door to open the door for Adaman.
"Smith, you know... eh?" Seeing that it was Patricia who opened the door, Adaman swallowed his words again, looked at Patricia with a strange expression, and then at Zhang who was sitting on the sofa. Dong Cheng asked teasingly, "Well... did I come at an untimely time, and did I bother you?"
Sitting on the sofa, seeing Adaman's narrow eyes, Zhang Dongcheng coughed dryly, and said, "Adaman, don't play tricks! Come in quickly and tell me how our first day box office is!"
Hearing that Zhang Dongcheng mentioned the serious matter, Adaman immediately forgot the idea of joking, came to the room in three steps at a time, and said to Zhang Dongcheng: "Smith, do you know? $12.66 million! Wow! We made a fortune this time!"
"How much?" Zhang Dongcheng stood up abruptly, looked at Adaman in surprise and asked, "Are you right? It's 12.66 million US dollars? Are you sure?"
Seeing that Zhang Dongcheng finally lost his composure, Adaman felt extremely happy, but he did not joke at this time, nodded affirmatively, and said: "Yes, I am not wrong, and you are not wrong, our first day box office It's really 12.66 million US dollars!"
"God!" Patricia on the side heard the news, and patted her chest in shock, causing waves of waves in her chest to rise and fall.
After finally accepting the news, Zhang Dongcheng regained his composure, and said confidently: "Adaman, I think you must have other news to tell me besides this good news, right?"
"Wow!" Adaman shrugged in disappointment. Zhang Dongcheng obviously saw through his performance. Of course, his disappointment is very limited. After all, the Matrix was a great success, and all the people in Dongcheng Films are profitable . This is especially true since Adaman also owns the shares of Dongcheng Films.
Zhang Dongcheng smiled noncommittally, swallowed the soy milk in his mouth, and said, "Actually, I know the author of this report!"
