The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 335 Old Thief Chen Putting This Here to Give Netizens a Crossword Puzzle?
The logic of the "Matrix" trailer is actually similar to that of "Suspect Tracker", both of which are telling the origin story, and the difference is that it is difficult for the audience to believe that this is the origin story of "Matrix".

Because most people will subconsciously regard the destruction of human beings by machines as the end, not the beginning. It is hard to imagine what stories can be told after the destruction of human beings.

No matter how pitiful the experience of the machine is depicted in the first animated short film, and how empathetic the audience is, it is basically impossible to use a non-human or extinct machine as the protagonist unless it is an animation The high box office is determined by the principle of human empathy.

However, Chen Jingxing's animation trailer is still extremely successful from a marketing point of view, which is why he has the confidence to keep the "Matrix" mysterious.

There are two kinds of mystery before a movie is released, one is mysterious that makes the audience have no expectations, and the other is mysterious that can arouse the curiosity of the public.

"Matrix" has created a second sense of mystery by virtue of its unique animation trailer marketing.

Both the media and netizens have joined the discussion of the two released animation short films, and the playback volume of these two animation short films alone has exceeded 1 million.

And this also brought the momentum of "Matrix" to its peak.

……

He Yinglin looked at a talk show on the computer with a bewildered smile. The interviewees were the male and female protagonists of "Matrix".

Yan Xiaoyue was wearing a stylish androgynous and slim black suit with flaming red lips, like a supermodel who just walked off the catwalk. Lu Hongzhe was also sitting next to Yan Xiaoyue in an ascetic suit, a surreal sci-fi The wind is blowing.

"Director Chen Jingxing is so strict on the set? I really didn't expect..." The host asked with a smile, "Why did you NG so many times? Could it be that the person playing against you is not a human being?"

"Haha... The more NG scenes are actually action scenes." Faced with the surprise attack of the host, Yan Xiaoyue and Lu Hongzhe laughed and perfunctory the past.

"Action scene? I know that director Chen Jingxing said before that "Matrix" has a lot of kung fu elements, so is the action scene an action scene with a robot?"

He Yinglin laughed out from time to time watching the two embarrassing leading actors being questioned by the host. The effect of the leading actors of "Matrix" on the show is simply too interesting.

Because "Matrix" was very mysterious from filming to finalization, of course, at that time because "Gravity" was finalized for the summer, both the media and the marketing account were tracking the first space film in the history of Huaguo. It's a sci-fi movie, so it's understandable that "Matrix" doesn't get enough attention.

But when "Gravity" was released, and even the momentum had passed, "Matrix" didn't have much material to release, and the few still photos released when the filming started were almost taken away by Chen Jingxing's fans.

Even when the leading actor of "Matrix" was interviewed or appeared on variety shows, he kept secret about the movie's plot, and even bluntly signed a non-disclosure agreement not to make him/her lose money—of course he said it in a joking tone.

After a long time, it even became a kind of meme, just like the fine money meme of the broadcast host reading white characters. The host tried every means to inquire about various news of "Matrix", especially whether your character is a human or a robot, and whether the villain is a robot. Whether the background of the story is the Omnic Crisis, etc., and then the actors of "Matrix" will talk about him from left to right, and fight wits and courage with the host.

The promotion of "Matrix" has become a program effect. The actors' announcements and interviews are of course to promote the movie, but they can't reveal the specific content of the movie, or even the setting and background, so it triggered a lot of interesting chemical reactions.

This kind of chemical reaction became more interesting after DreamWorks released the first trailer of "Matrix", because everyone felt that the movie was not related to robots, it was a story of robots rebelling against humans, so the robot stalk came out of the circle.

Whether it is a variety show or a simple interview, everyone talks about robots and artificial intelligence. Whenever the main creators of "Matrix", including the director Chen Jingxing, appear on the show or are interviewed, they will be suddenly attacked in the communication, using robots to defraud the main creators their reaction.

For example, "Is there a love scene in the movie? Is there a love scene, is it a love scene with a robot?"

"Is the ending of the movie a happy ending? It's HE, so humans defeated robots."

Or "Is playing a bionic robot a challenge for you?"

"Are the characters in "The Matrix" different from the characters you portrayed in other works? Are robots more difficult to play than humans?"

"Are all of you playing humans?"

The surprise attacks of hosts, reporters and other guests in variety shows, as well as the main creators and actors of "Matrix" were either calm or frightened, or reacted quickly, or reacted slowly, or made witty remarks, or haha ​​perfunctory in this bluff Even the response to begging for mercy was cut into short videos and spread quickly.

This kind of short video with both comedy and drama just hit the G-spot of the public, and everyone loves to watch videos of catching horses.

After watching a few funny videos of the main actors of "The Matrix", He Yinglin browsed the discussion of the "Matrix" trailer on the forum with great interest. In fact, when DreamWorks released the first trailer last week, she Great interest in the animated short itself and The Matrix.

She is a relatively emotional person. She can be moved or depressed by Chen Jingxing and several films of DreamWorks. For example, the endings of "Comet" and "Fatal Identity" made her depressed for a long time. "Source Code" , "Mirage" and "Your Name" made her eat dog food to tears, and "Black Mirror" made her feel uncomfortable for several days after watching an episode.

So the first so-called concept trailer also made her empathize deeply, whether it was a little boy who fell out of favor and ran away from home, or a robot that had served a family for 20 years was about to be upgraded, especially the last three robots were tortured and killed one after another. She couldn't stop crying until she died.

The teddy bear was kicked around like a football with nursery rhymes in it, which made her sobbing uncontrollably. The roommate was startled and asked her what happened. Others in the dormitory were also filled with righteous indignation from the animation "revenge" and depressed. Finally, a few sisters joined forces to scold Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks for more than an hour before falling asleep.

He Yinglin waited for a week, and finally the second animated short film came. She wanted to see how the robot resisted and even abused it back. She even imagined that the robot boy did not die, but became a robot leader and led the robot to resist human oppression. Fixed Teddy Bear and Universal Robot being two miserable companions.

In the end, I was abused again with snot and tears, but this time it was for the human boy and the little girl who were filled with grief and indignation, whether it was the boy who died alone like a hero, or the little girl hugging the teddy bear her brother gave her in the dark night. Crouching in the ruins, and finally being awakened from a dream to face the most desperate situation, He Yinglin cried and scolded her mother.

Chen Jingxing is simply not a human being, let alone taking revenge on the society.

Apparently she is not the only one who feels this way. After the second trailer, "Send a blade to Chen Jingxing" has become a hot search again since the TV series "Signal".

These two well-produced depressing animated short films also immediately became popular.

Even though two days have passed, the two animated shorts on the Internet still attracted many netizens to discuss and interpret.

[Bet 100 yuan, "Matrix" is definitely about the war between humans and machines! 】

[I was schizophrenic by Chen Jingxing, so I went to watch these two animations. After watching the first one, I gritted my teeth at humans, and the robots beat me to death!After watching the second one, I gritted my teeth at the robot dog and gave it back to my little brother!Stay away from little sister!Give me all to die! !Humanity rises! 】

【Hahaha, another one who was driven crazy, I'm different, I don't even hate robots, I'm concentrating on sharpening Chen Jingxing's blade. 】

[If "Matrix" is really about the war between humans and machines, I don't even know which side I should stand on...]

[Why do you all say that it is a human-machine war? I just watched an interview video. Didn’t Director Chen say that the background of "Matrix" is the era after human beings are wiped out by machines? 】

[The picture upstairs is clothes, old thief Chen is setting off a smoke bomb, no one will believe what he said]

[That's right, the actor Lu Hongzhe of the film was just attacked by the host in an interview, saying that he was playing a human being, and none of the actors was playing a robot. The old thief Chen also said that human beings were exterminated by machines, which is not self-contradictory contradiction?Maybe it was Lu Hongzhe who leaked his words, and then old thief Chen set off smoke bombs to confuse everyone. Who would believe it?Human beings are extinct. Is "Matrix" a robot fighting a robot? 】

【I also think that the second animation short film will not be a prequel analyzed by some people. Human beings are all extinct, so what else can be filmed?Don’t look at the first animation to make many people sympathize with robots, but if machines conflict with humans, it will be easier for audiences to get involved with humans. Will the audience buy into the story of what happened after robots wiped out humans?

Don't look at the old saying that DreamWorks regards the quality of its works as the highest purpose, but they have a good business vision. Do you see their film and television dramas that are losing money?It is impossible to stand in the perspective of a robot, don't worry. 】

[But since the second animation is a concept trailer, it must be meaningful. If it is not the origin, is it the ending? "Matrix" is the story between the first animation and the second animation?If this is the case, I admit that it is very epic, but I really don’t want to watch it. I don’t like the ending of be. When I think of the ending of human beings as miserable as a bereaved dog, I can’t watch your movie no matter how good it is. 】

[Don't think about it, didn't old thief Chen say that there is a third animated short film?Maybe the third trailer will be able to reveal the answer? 】

[Nimma, old thief Chen put this here to give netizens an anagram?I swear that if "Matrix" is not good-looking, or does not meet my expectations, I will turn into a sunspot and insult him passionately for a year! 】

[Haha, the handshake upstairs, I will insult him for a whole year, but I can commute his sentence by half a year for the sake of "Gravity". 】

[For the sake of "Source Code", the sentence will be reduced by three months...]

【For the sake of "Your Name"...】

【Look at...】

He Yinglin watched Chen Jingxing change from "Director Chen" and "Jingshen" to "Old Thief Chen" so quickly in the mouths of movie fans, but she felt a tinge of pleasure in her heart, hum, this is the end of tantalizing people.
