Back To 1995 Chapter 338

   Chapter 338

  It's hard for others to say about this movie, but the Wachowski brothers are very attentive and plan to find an action director from Asia to guide the film.

   These days, no matter it's Hollywood or any other movie, as long as kung fu movies or action movies are mentioned, the first one that bears the brunt is the Chinese kung fu movie.

  Before those directors and Hollywood companies that lost money were all scared, there were many Chinese movie stars, directors, action directors and other practitioners who came to Hollywood to make a fortune.

   And in the past few years, kung fu movies have indeed had a high-profile performance in America. These years are the moment when Asian directors and stars are charging Hollywood. You will find that many Hollywood movies have Asian elements.

As for the aftermath, it can't be explained in one sentence. A "Wind Whisperer" made Paramount almost breathless, and it also caused the entire Hollywood to shy away from Asian directors, plus other public opinions. Because of this, and the rise of the domestic film market, there are fewer and fewer Chinese faces in Hollywood.

   After all, you can earn money while you are lying down, so why bother to go from a well-known star to the other side of the ocean to help others? !

After Song Yang heard what the Wachowskis said, he just nodded. During the trip to Asia, Western Pictures and IMDB made an agreement with the domestic film department. Song Yang's hundreds of millions of dollars in knives were not thrown away in vain.

   So it shouldn't be a problem to invite some action directors, actors, etc. from China.

Song Yang also hopes that after The Matrix is ​​released in China, domestic films can set off a special effect frenzy ahead of time. Now the era of computer special effects is just emerging, and it has not reached the insurmountable point. Domestic special effects technology only needs to start slowly and add more The technical support of Upper Western Pictures and Weta special effects may have the opportunity to develop ahead of time, and it will not be so stretched after more than ten or twenty years...

   "The action directors invited by Western Pictures from Asia, as well as actors and the like, must be treated the same as those in Hollywood, no matter in terms of treatment or salary!" Song Yang said to the two Wachowski brothers in front of him.

For this, the two brothers will naturally not object. They are not the kind of directors who lack brains. They are not the kind of directors who have nothing to do. They are also one of the people who don't want this movie to go on business trips. Otherwise, they will dream of being a great director No, they can't explain Song Yang here.

   "I hope that brands such as Alcatel mobile phones, Siebel automobiles, and America Telecom can appear in the movies of The Matrix!"

The fat water does not flow to outsiders, and the Matrix movies will also attract brand sponsorships. This is a common trick in Hollywood. Some popular movies, and even the brand sponsorship fee, can pay back the production costs. This is why the movie likes it. For the sake of hiring big directors or superstars, brands are willing to sponsor and banks are willing to lend, but if you hire small Hollywood stars, you can't get these…

  The Matrix will definitely not be able to attract any big-name sponsorships now. After the first film is released, if the box office is hot, then all kinds of sponsorships will definitely come in droves.

   But the fat water does not flow to outsiders, Song Yang is going to put Alcatel mobile phones, Panda TV and screens, Siebel cars and many other own brands in the movie first, mix them with a familiar face, and become an "international" brand!

   No matter if Alcatel mobile phone, Panda TV, or Sibel car are developed or not, even if you put a model in the movie, anyway, after this wave of commercials, we will talk about it.

If The Matrix can be released on schedule without pulling his hips, then these brands in Song Yang's hands, after this wave of publicity, at least in dozens of regions around the world, in front of hundreds or even tens of millions of moviegoers, mixed one Familiar face, which is very important for a new brand product!

  The Wachowski brothers took Song Yang's words to heart, and they were only one step away from the start of filming. They didn't want to offend Song Yang, the big moneymaker.

   Larry Wachowski and Andy Wachowski finally let out a sigh of relief when they walked out of the villa with the agreement signed by Song Yang.

The script of   The Matrix has been in their hands for several years, and now they can finally start filming!

   "Keanu, you're going to be a big star!"

  Los Angeles, Keanu Reeves' agent, immediately ran into the garage after receiving the call, and shouted excitedly towards Keanu Reeves who was flipping the motorcycle.

Keanu Reeves's agent, his stepfather who is a director on Broadway, was specially hired for him. Although this agent is not a big Hollywood agent, he has a lot of contacts, and has many connections with many Hollywood film companies, The directors are all familiar.

   "I knew you were going to be a big Hollywood star, like Brad Pitt, and Keanu, you're going to get $30 million in blades!"

The agent said excitedly to Keanu Reeves. He just received a call from the director of Western Films, informing him that Keanu Reeves should go to the audition. Although he did not directly mention it, how does the agent who has been in Hollywood for so many years? will not understand.

This time, the Matrix won the leading actor, and the competition was very fierce. There were popular fried chickens like Brad Pitt, as well as a number of powerful actors, Keanu Reeves' agent, who just joined in the fun and put them together. Keanu Reeves signed up, but who would have thought that Keanu Reeves would really be chosen as the starring role, although the salary was not high.

If it is Brad Pitt, Will Smith and others starring, the single film salary is at least 30 million US dollars or more, plus a high film share, so that they can be invited to move them, and the salary has not been too big. Keanu Reeves, who starred in the film, will only be paid $10 million for a single film, and $30 million for a trilogy, but he will receive a share of the box office!

   This is definitely a huge opportunity for Keanu Reeves, who is in desperate need of a big production to prove himself.

   Hearing this news, Keanu Reeves was stunned for a moment. He knew that his agent had signed him up in "The Matrix", but he didn't expect that he would be chosen in the end.

   "Are you sure?" Keanu Reeves couldn't help asking his agent.

"I think this news has probably spread all over Hollywood by now," the agent said jokingly when he saw Keanu Reeves' startled look, "The boss of Western Pictures who filmed The Matrix is ​​Bruno Reeves in Silicon Valley. Song, he is of Chinese descent just like you, Keanu Reeves..."

Listening to the jokes of the agent, Keanu Reeves couldn't help being silent for a while. This reason sounds ridiculous, but Keanu Reeves, who has not masked with Song Yangsu, knows that after today, conspiracy theories are prevalent. Hollywood, I am afraid this news will be spread all over the sky.

Just as the agent said, when Western Pictures announced that Keanu Reeves was invited to do the final round of auditions, the whole Hollywood quickly spread that the 240 million dollar giant system will use Keanu Reeves. to serve.

"Invested by Western Pictures, co-produced by DreamWorks, Miramax, and distributed by Paramount, it is rumored that Keanu Reeves will star in Keanu Reeves. "Breaking Point", "Dangerous Relationships" and other films, The Matrix will be their first big-budget movie starring them!"

  The entertainment channel of Los Angeles TV was the first to release news, and then various tabloid media quickly followed up, breaking out all kinds of dazzling gossip.

  The Matrix did not choose a Hollywood superstar, nor an Italian-American movie star in Hollywood. The result was Keanu Reeves, which was beyond the expectations of many people. Naturally, conspiracy theories appeared frequently.

   Even if the Wachowski brothers came forward and declared, "Keanu Reeves is the best candidate for the Matrix, and we will use more funds for special effects and film production!"

   But there are still countless conspiracy theories, and as for Keanu Reeves, the mixed blood of the Eight Kingdoms has been ignored.

Regardless of the conspiracy theory, after the Matrix had all the leading actors, the filming was finally announced, and countless people were watching from the sidelines. upside down.

In Asia, Western Pictures also paid a lot of money to invite a group of actors. Yuan Heping, who is known as the first martial artist, was invited from Hong Kong City to guide the action of the entire Matrix. In addition, Chang Wei was also invited, no, it was Zou Zhaolong Wait for a group of people to come to the Matrix crew.

  The Matrix of Western Pictures is the first movie to recruit people from China on a large scale to Hollywood.

   On a business plane at San Jose Airport, Hailey, who was sitting in the plane, rolled her eyes and looked down at the airport, holding Jenny who was holding Song Yang and wiping her tears from time to time.

   Looking at Jenny, who was hugging and cuddling with Song Yang, and then looking at Gallo, who was nowhere to be seen, Hailey's teeth were itchy.

   squeezed Jenny's face, Song Yang looked at Jenny in his arms, "When I'm done with this, I'll go visit Hollywood!"

   After listening to this, Jenny wiped a handful of pear blossoms and rain on her face, stamped a smear on Song Yang's face, and walked towards the plane rather reluctantly.

   Until she got on the plane, Hailey comforted Jenny, "This show was invested by Song's Western Films, and no one in the crew would dare to provoke you..."

   "I'm not worried about this," Jenny wiped away her tears, "I'm afraid that during the time I go to Hollywood, which Bichi will climb onto Song's bed!"

  Haili resisted the urge to roll her eyes, only to realize that this silly girl didn't look like she had a body but no brains.

   "Song is not that kind of person!"

Hailey said with her conscience behind her back, Haili from the old rivers and lakes has very vicious eyes. She recently heard about Elsa Benitez becoming a Victoria's Secret contract model. Others don't know why this is , but Hailey is very clear, and that ICQ president Erin Doherty, Hailey has long discovered that there is something tricky.

   After returning from the airport, Song Yang rushed towards the small industrial park where the Alcatel mobile phone was located.
