The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 535 "Manslaughter" is about to end early

After Chen Jingxing, the producer and the leading actors gave a brief thank you, the reporters and movie fans rushed to ask questions to the main creators of the film, of course they mainly aimed at Chen Jingxing.

"Excuse me, Director Chen, did the hero Jian Bo die in the end?"

"It depends on how you understand it. If you look at it from another angle, his code and his consciousness exist in every new life, just like the previous five generations of saviors."

"Director Chen, does the ending of the movie imply that robots have defeated humans? So "Matrix" is actually a tragedy?"

Where is the hint?It's almost clear, right?Isn't the matrix revolution the realization of the robot completion plan?

The fans around kept complaining about the reporter's question.

Chen Jingxing answered very cautiously. This question is a bit of a trap. If he admits it, the reporter will be able to write an article after returning—"Director Chen Jingxing admits that "Matrix III" is a tragedy" or "The "Matrix" series of tragedies end"

This is indeed true, after all, Chen Jingxing distributed this box of lunch so well.

Of course, the tragic ending of "Matrix" is a bonus for movie fans or film critics, but "Matrix III" needs box office, and it is not an ordinary box office.

So he still has to try his best to downplay the tragic color of the movie, which will really dissuade many ordinary viewers.

Chen Jingxing looked puzzled: "How could it be a tragedy? In the background of "Matrix", human beings have long been exterminated by robots? "Matrix" actually depicts the process of human rebirth and even evolution.

Human beings have gone from being a tool for robots to solve their own problems to finally achieving the cooperation and integration of humans and artificial intelligence, and realizing the coexistence of the two. I think this is a win-win situation. It is true that robots have won, and humans have also won.

I read a lot of Omnic Crisis stories early on, and felt that the relationship between robots and humans in traditional sci-fi works is too binary. Either I destroy you or you destroy me.

Then I thought I wanted to write a story about human beings and artificial intelligence co-existing in harmony, and even being able to join hands to advance to a higher civilization. That's why the story "Matrix" came into being.

That's right, for the main gods and saints, their machine civilization completion plan was successful, but from another perspective, it can also be understood as the completion plan of human beings, with weak flesh and blood and soaring consciousness. "

Chen Jingxing's remarks did scare the reporter who asked the question, but some movie fans present rolled their eyes inwardly.

I believe in you asshole!

Chen Jingxing tried to dispel the tragic color of the movie in front of the reporters, at least he couldn't convey such a message as a director, but the reporters still didn't give up the opportunity to make big news.

"Director Chen, many movie fans have speculated about the purpose of the Matrix, one of which is that robots lack chaos and disorder, and because of lack of creativity, civilization loses the ability to evolve.

So the matrix is ​​something that helps artificial intelligence to make up for its own shortcomings, and it coincides with the movie "Matrix III". Did Director Chen refer to the opinions and opinions of movie fans when creating "Matrix III"? "

The fans around Chen Jingxing glared at the reporter who asked the question. This question does sound a bit strange, and it is not offensive, but if the answer is not good, there will be too many angles for the reporter to write the news when the time comes, and it is true It's hard to answer.

You can't say that I don't care about the opinions and opinions of fans?

Chen Jingxing glanced at this reporter, which media it was from, and asked the marketing department to block it when he returned.

"I often watch the discussions and comments of movie fans. After all, feedback is very important in film creation. The views and opinions of the audience are very important to any creator.

However, I said before the first filming of "Matrix" that this will be a trilogy, and the scripts of the three films are created together in a complete way, and have not been modified during the shooting of the second and third films script,. "

The next reporter's tone was a little excited, as if he was also a movie fan: "Director Chen, first of all, congratulations to you and everyone else. This is a perfect ending. The completion plan of the machine civilization of "Matrix III" is really shocking." Yes, it complements the human completion plan of "Skyhawk Warrior", and it is a fascinating science fiction story with brain hole, philosophical depth and epic sense.

Director Chen, your "Interstellar Crossing" has also finished filming. It is said that this will be the last of the space trilogy. I noticed that your next film will be two war films, but as a reporter, I am also a science fiction fan. , I would like to ask if you will create a new sci-fi series in the future? "

"Thank you." Chen Jingxing and the other main creators all smiled, and he picked up the microphone and said, "I do have a new science fiction series, and I think everyone knows that it is the TV series "Once Upon a Time on Earth" directed by Wen Zhian.

I said before that this will be a sci-fi universe composed of several film and television dramas. The script of the first film after that has been initially completed, and I will be responsible for directing it.

From the background, "Once Upon a Time on Earth" will be a bigger story than "Matrix". You can see some clues from the name. The number of movies currently tentatively scheduled will exceed "Matrix". I dare not say that it will definitely More than the "Matrix" series, but I will, as always, try my best to create good-looking science fiction stories for my fans, audiences at home and abroad. "

There was a low noise, not only reporters, but also fans around.

"Once Upon a Time on Earth" is a project that Chen Jingxing had revealed last year. At that time, it aroused some upsurge of public opinion. guess.

For example, there are speculations about prehistoric humans, or even about the origin of humans, about prehistoric civilizations, about dinosaurs, and so on.

Among them, the speculation of prehistoric civilization is more popular.

It seems that Jay Chou has just announced the name of his new album, fans have already started to guess the melody and the MV story, what's more, they even made Jay-like songs to pay tribute to the idol.

And Chen Jingxing has accumulated a considerable number of fans through the ten films before and after, as well as other works of DreamWorks.

However, announcing the project of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" and saying that he will make a movie about this project are two different things.

Especially when Wen Zhian, a newcomer director, started to direct his first TV series, and there was no more follow-up after more than a year, so the public attention that was lively for a while also fell silent and dissipated.

The reporter and Chen Jingxing's question and answer obviously brought out "Once Upon a Time on Earth", a project that had remained in the verbal name, through the premiere of "Matrix III", and brought it back into the attention of public opinion.

Fans were naturally excited about Chen Jingxing's painting, but the reporters seemed calmer.

This kind of hype that is mentioned from time to time is very common. For example, the "Fengshen" trilogy, which is led by Penguin Pictures and jointly established with United Cinemas and Jianghe Culture, will produce some movies every few months starting from the second half of 2017. volume and heat.

The excitement of movie fans at the beginning was not lower than that of "Once Upon a Time on Earth", and even much higher. After all, "Fengshen" is a treasure trove of traditional mythological resources in our country. Who wouldn't want us to make our own mythological stories like "Lord of the Rings" What about epic heights?
And the original background happened to be that Chen Sicheng's "Tang Detective" invested by DreamWorks was released in the summer of 15. With an investment of 8000 million, it achieved a box office of 10 billion, and the word-of-mouth was overwhelming. Chen Sicheng said to create the "Tang Detective" universe.

In 16, Chen Jingxing even drew the big cake of the "Matrix" trilogy, and achieved great success in the National Day file that year.

Coupled with the influence of Hollywood comics, the movie universe was created for a while, and the series of IPs became a hot spot in the industry. The universe of "Fengshen" is considered to be the third movie in China after "Tang Detective" and "Matrix". universe.

It's just a pity that the third part of "Tang Detective" by the predecessors has all been released, and the final chapter of "Matrix" has also premiered. In the past two years, the universe of "Fengshen" has been a little more than a few concept posters and a few makeup photos. Nothing really landed.

However, although it has been more than a year since "Once Upon a Time on Earth" was announced, at least I heard that the filming of the TV series is over. Although it is not clear when it will be broadcast, the credibility of Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks is still guaranteed.

It shouldn't be a mess.

After dealing with the reporters and fans for a while, and handing over the booth to the leading actors such as Lu Hongzhe, Yan Xiaoyue and Bao Shengming, Chen Jingxing returned to the audience.

Chen Sicheng clicked his tongue and said: "You have just finished the "Matrix" series, and you are eager to open new pits. Are you really not going to give us a way out?"

"Isn't your outer space trilogy also approved? The eldest brother doesn't say the second brother."

"Mine is at best a family sci-fi comedy, which can't be compared with your sci-fi universe."

Chen Jingxing comforted: "The comedy market is huge, the cost is low, the risk is low, and the profit is also greater."

"The risk is low, and the cost is not small. The first budget is 3 million."

Chen Jingxing couldn't help but hesitate, just invest 3 million in your children's film?What about money laundering?
Of course, he also knew that Chen Sicheng's film production cost was not small, at least [-]% or [-]% was cut, but that was also amazing.

However, Chen Jingxing's words comforted Chen Sicheng to a certain extent.

His ambition is to create a cute family comedy series similar to "Yangtze No. [-]". It may be that the fusion of comedy and detectives in "Tang Detective" made him more confident in his sense of smell. He felt that such a science fiction family Comedy has great commercial potential.

After all, the box office of Master Xing's "Yangtze River No. [-]" also ranked fourth in the domestic box office list that year.

If you can't learn from Chen Jingxing's "hardcore sci-fi", this light sci-fi work that incorporates comedy elements is indeed less risky and more sure.

"Okay, this scene is worth watching, it seems that "Manslaughter" is no longer going to happen."

Chen Sicheng sighed and shook his head.

He is filming one of the units of the gift film "My Youth and Me", and today he deliberately spared time to participate in "Matrix III" because he wanted to see the quality of the final chapter of this series.

"Manslaughter" itself is also planned to be released in mid-December. After hearing that Chen Jingxing will put "Matrix III" on Christmas time, it will be released in advance.

It has been in theaters for 12 days now, and it has earned a box office of 7 million, which can be regarded as a considerable success.

And because of the good reputation-objectively speaking, the version of "Manslaughter" invested by Chen Sicheng is the best version of all the remakes of this story, including Tianzhu's own remakes.

The future "Manslaughter II" is another matter. Not only is it a trick, but the remake was a failure.

Therefore, the box office curve is also relatively strong, and it is expected to hit 10 billion.

The film quality of "Matrix III" obviously shattered Chen Sicheng's last bit of luck, and "Manslaughter" is about to end early.
