The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 460 An Unprecedented Box Office Explosion

"Chen Jingxing revealed that the content of the ending chapter of the movie is a matrix revolution!"

"The savior Lu Hongzhe was interviewed by Chinese media in London, and he said bluntly that he didn't know why he was able to block the electronic squid in the end, and he was performing completely according to the script."

""Matrix II" leaves shocking suspense behind the unparalleled audio-visual feast!"

"Written by the well-known film critic Zhang Liming: When a fake is true, it is also true"

""Matrix II" detonated the global summer film market, and the whole process was highly ignited, showing you the truth of the matrix!"

"Crazy to win the box office championship in the first week of the fifteen countries! "Matrix II" set off a sci-fi frenzy!"

"The "Matrix" trio landed on the cover of Time Magazine, complete with sunglasses and windbreakers, and their cool looks lead the new trend of fashion!"

"The ending chapter of "The Matrix" will be launched in early August, and it is expected to be released next year, revealing the final mystery!"

"The main creator of "Matrix II" has been publicized in many countries, and Japanese and Korean movie fans are the most enthusiastic!"

DreamWorks.

Chen Jingxing put down his mobile phone, smiled and looked at the young men and women surrounded by many employees outside the door.

"I didn't get this kind of treatment when I came in."

Bao Shengming, who was reading the script in his seat, looked at Lu Hongzhe and Yan Xiaoyue who were outside the door with a sour tone.

Chen Jingxing patted him sympathetically: "I can't help it, who made this a society that judges faces, please mourn."

"... I'm also the grassroots of the Wuyi Theater."

"Then your grass withers fast enough..."

Bao Shengming has long since resigned from the Wuyi Theater. After all, his current schedule does not allow him to continue rehearsing performances in the theater, but he still considers himself a member of the Wuyi Theater.

As a dream factory, it can even be said that it is Chen Jingxing's direct descendant. From "Comet" to "Fatal Identity", he has played important roles. He also won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Fatal Identity".

It's a pity that his appearance is not enough to make him a celebrity traffic, and he is over 30 years old, but he has also won the reputation of a powerful actor.

Afterwards, she acted in two films of other companies, but was quickly summoned by Chen Jingxing again, and her role in "Matrix" even surpassed that of the heroine's role as the captain of the underground spacecraft of Homeland.

This role also made him a nationally and even internationally renowned Chinese star.

Of course, compared with Lu Hongzhe and Yan Xiaoyue, it is naturally insignificant.

After the first part of "Matrix" was released, Lu Hongzhe became a first-tier star from an uneducated [-]th-tier star who could only shoot online movies.

Yan Xiaoyue has also jumped from a second- and third-tier actress to a first-tier floret, and there are very few in her age group who can match her.

After "Matrix II" was released, it not only appeared in Time Magazine—of course as a movie character, but also almost became a real international superstar.

Apart from the superstars of the older generation on Hong Kong Island, there are only two or three people like Luo Chen and Lei Jiayin who can compare with them.

Although many Europeans and Americans see Asians as face-blind, they don’t see many of them, or they don’t remember the works and characters.

It's not that there were no Hallyu boy bands in Europe and the United States in the previous life, which shows that these things can be overcome.

The two films in the "Matrix" series are selling well all over the world, and both the aesthetic style and the character setting are quite memorable, even people who are face-blind can remember these two people.

And it is very interesting that because of the unique aesthetic style of "Matrix", the two protagonists are quite popular in the fashion industry.

The global endorsement contracts of internationally renowned luxury brands are coming like raindrops. Asia itself is the largest market for luxury brands. "Matrix" is still so hot, and it also has a global reputation bonus. Just from the perspective of fashion resources, Lv Hongzhe and Yan Xiaoyue are worthy. Said to be number one in Asia, even Gao Luochen.

Although Wu Yue and Lei Jiayin are well-known internationally, appearance is really important.

Even if the race is different, Europeans and Americans will not be unable to distinguish the beauty and ugliness of the Chinese. Some things are common across the world. Sometimes you think they can’t tell the difference, but it’s just that they can’t tell the difference on purpose.

In addition, various fashion magazines are basically published.

If it weren't for Chen Jingxing's "Matrix III" waiting to be released here, I am afraid that the agency of the two, CAA, the head of the four major Hollywood economic agency companies, would not easily let them come back from abroad.

Many of the artists in the DreamWorks department are internationally renowned, so they usually sign with Hollywood's top agency companies to be responsible for foreign business.

But after all, CAA's brokers know the difference between a full meal and a full meal, and they can still distinguish between short-term interests and long-term interests.

Even if it is a domestic company, the status of Lu Hongzhe and Yan Xiaoyue has already been reversed at this time. After all, the Huaguo entertainment industry is not the same as Japan and South Korea. As long as the actors can make up their minds, the brokerage company cannot step on them. .

However, from Chen Jingxing's point of view, although the two of them are currently quite famous, these fame are basically bound to their roles.

And it will get deeper and deeper.

When "Matrix III" is released in the future, the two of them may have to worry about transition.

Yan Xiaoyue was a little bit better, saying that the heroine was actually a supporting role, and it wasn't too deep.

Lu Hongzhe is really the savior of the world. It will be extremely difficult to transform. If he leaves DreamWorks, unless he lands in Hollywood, it will not be easy to receive suitable and high-quality scripts with the strength of the domestic film industry.

However, Bao Shengming sneered at Chen Jingxing's exclamation.

"The vast majority of actors can star in a movie of the level of "Matrix" in their lifetime, and they will be very popular. Let alone this is a trilogy, Xiao Lu can live his whole life with this role. Ten bad movies can't exhaust this accumulation, and what you're talking about are all troubles of happiness."

Chen Jingxing shook his head at Bao Shengming's thoughts, sometimes people's hearts are not so simple.

The so-called transition from frugality to extravagance is easy, and from extravagance to frugality is difficult. When people accept everything they have, they will take it for granted. Once it starts to go downhill, it will even be more painful.

The same is true for actors and directors. If it is not for their own cheats and the ability to continuously produce high-quality works, otherwise once they fall into a bottleneck or become "exhausted" by the outside world, I am afraid that feeling will not be good.

Bao Shengming didn't understand the meaning of Chen Jingxing's shaking his head, but he didn't care either. He was considered a capable actor with a background in drama. Transformation was not difficult for him, and lack of appearance had its advantages. He had a wide range of dramas, and with his current With his fame, his ability to act as a lead and supporting role can make him a meal everywhere.

"The box office of "Matrix II" is so good, you don't plan to hold a celebration party?"

To Bao Shengming's question, Chen Jingxing waved his hand: "Universal intends to wait for the global box office to break through one billion US dollars and hold a grand celebration banquet in Hollywood. Mr. Xu also means the same. At that time, there will be one in China and one in the United States."

Bao Shengming asked in a low voice with some excitement: "I read on the Internet that the final global box office of "Matrix II" can reach 13 billion? Can it really be so much?"

"Eight and nine are not far from ten."

Chen Jingxing is quite satisfied with the box office results of "Matrix II".

At present, "Matrix II" has been released for more than half a month, and the cumulative domestic box office has exceeded 28 billion. According to the current box office curve that is still strong, many media and even ticket buying platforms predict that if it continues to go long-term, it is expected to eventually reach 36. to 38 billion.

But Chen Jingxing is not so optimistic. "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be released soon. Although the subject matter is different, the box office potential of "The God of Medicine" will definitely squeeze out that of "Matrix II".

According to Chen Jingxing's own prediction, "Matrix II" may stay between 32 and 34 billion.

Overseas, the most eye-catching is the North American market, the box office has exceeded 2.2 million US dollars, and there is no problem breaking the 2.5 million mark.

This result not only surpassed the 2.07 million of "Gravity" and created a new box office record for foreign films in the North American market, but it is also enough to rank third among the films that have been released in North America from the beginning of 2018 to now.

In addition to the North American market, other markets also ushered in a big explosion, and the results completely surpassed all of Chen Jingxing's previous movies. The sequel movies are indeed different, no wonder Hollywood manufacturers like sequels so much.

The Japanese market alone has earned a box office of 7800 million U.S. dollars, achieving record-breaking box office in every country.

Europe also topped $2 million.

At present, apart from the Huaguo market, the overseas box office has accumulated more than 6.8 million US dollars, and it has not lost its strength. According to the predictions of Universal and DreamWorks, the overseas box office can eventually break the eighth.

Add $8 million overseas to $5 million domestically, and that's where the $13 billion worldwide forecast comes in.

That would make "Matrix II" the highest-grossing movie outside of Hollywood.

And squeezed into the top fifteen of the global box office rankings, to be precise, if "Matrix II" can get 13 billion, it will be ranked No. 12.

Although the global box office has started to inflate in recent years, and this ranking will not last long, it is definitely an achievement that can create history.

And don't forget, there is also "Matrix III". If the quality of "Matrix III" can maintain the current level, the box office performance is likely to go further.

In this atmosphere, the preparations for "Matrix III" were almost exposed to the spotlight throughout.

Although Yan Xiaoyue and Lv Hongzhe entered the company and were surrounded by employees, in fact they had already managed to break through the first layer of defense outside the office building.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Even though DreamWorks' script reading of "Matrix III" this time, to be precise, was a script meeting—because the actors didn't get the script—it was quite confidential, but the whereabouts of the actors could not be kept secret.

There are already many media reporters gathered around the downstairs of DreamWorks, including foreign media.

"Hey, the headquarters building is almost finished, and it should be much better when we move to our own building."

Chen Jingxing looked out from the window of the meeting room and sighed in admiration.

The security guards in this office building are now paid by DreamWorks.

Bao Shengming sat on the chair and reminded Chen Jingxing while eating the fruit: "You should think about how to get out after the meeting."

　There is a power outage, and the signal of the base station is too weak.
