~： Three hundred and ninety-five - the beginning of pure picture philosophy

It stands to reason that it is not surprising that Zack Snyder is now being targeted. The glory of "The Matrix" is imminent, and such a director is an absolute scarce resource in the circle.

The first film shot by the director has a box office of over 100 million in North America. It can be said to be an absolute model of fame. If you only look at the beginning, Zach Snyder is much more brilliant than Wayne.

Of course, the environment in which the two entered Hollywood is completely different, and no one would be stupid enough to compare the two together.

Speaking of Wayne alone, the feeling he has given to everyone inside and outside the circle in the past two years is basically not much different from that of Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola in the 1980s. The practitioners and the general public feel that although he has achieved enough achievements, it is definitely not his limit now.

Now he is only 26 years old, and he is at the most energetic age in his life, and he is still in a strong period of film creation.

Although Zack Snyder is not comparable to the current Wayne, if he is based on his current job qualifications and the achievements in "The Matrix", there will be countless people willing to gamble on his future. For example, Steven Spielberg, who just left, and Townsend Rothman, who is constantly testing Wayne.

"Don't worry, when I started writing "The Matrix", I designed it according to the length of the trilogy." Wayne, as if he didn't understand the other party's temptation, didn't have any scruples, so he just said the follow-up plan directly. come out.

"Around June or July next year, the second part of "The Matrix" will appear in the theater market. I'm going to let Zach Snyder take the form of a set shot and make the latter two at one time."

"Hmm." Townsend-Rothman's squinted eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, but the tone of his speech did not change. "A very good news."

He understands why this young man directly stated the follow-up plan, and the courage to say it means that the other party and Warner Bros. have confidence in the director candidate and project, and are not afraid of any accidents.

"Hi Wayne."

When the two were chatting with various thoughts, they were interrupted by a greeting, and when Wayne turned his head, Nina's voice also entered his ears. "George Lucas, he came by himself, and Director Spielberg just sent in."

"Good evening, Townsend." George Lucas has a good relationship with 20th Century Fox, or with Fox executives. Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox are in a long-term relationship.

"Good evening, George." Townsend Rothman shook hands with him, looked at the young man beside him, and said, "You talk, I'll go around."

Wayne nodded slightly, and while chatting with the father of Star Wars, he stared at Townsend Rothman from the corner of his eye until he noticed that the other party went downstairs and walked towards the screening room.

He knew very well in his heart that DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox were not the only ones eyeing Zack Snyder, but neither of them had surfaced yet.

In fact, he was very curious about how these people were going to seduce Zach Snyder. What others can give, Warner Bros. can also give, or even more.

Staying on the big platform of Warner Bros. can best guarantee the success rate of future projects. Zach Snyder and others should be able to understand this.

"Wayne, hey, what are you thinking?" After George Lucas sat down, he noticed his abnormality. "Congratulations, "The Matrix" gave you this crazy plan, but it got off to a good start."

"thanks."

Perhaps the few people he contacted tonight, only the father of Star Wars in front of him has no other thoughts, and there is no need to guess and guess whether the other party is testing him.

"George, do you have a production plan for the new Star Wars? God, countless people are looking forward to the arrival of the new Star Wars. When are you going to shoot?"

"The preparatory work has already started." George Lucas shook his head with a smile, his upper body suddenly leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Wayne, and joked: "You really don't want to direct a Star Wars, Wayne, next A story that definitely suits your style of filming, aha, think about it?"

"Hey, hey, don't tempt me, you know, I'm a die-hard Star Wars fan." Wayne knew that the other party was joking. Since the film has already begun preparations, it means that all plans have been set, no surprises , no further changes are possible.

"Shit, my work plan is two thousand years in the future. George, I've paid all my vacation time and rest time for this "Departed" now, so if the result of this award is not good Perfect, in a few years, I won't have time to make another award-winning movie."

Saying that, he shook his head, a helpless expression appeared on his face. This is no longer a hint, more like Chi Luoluo's express.

"Ok, don't look at me like that."

Facing the young man's gaze, George Lucas raised his hands and made a surrender.

gesture. "When the awards season arrives, I'll help you get some old folks' votes. By the way..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, turned around and looked around, making sure that he hadn't heard the conversation between them, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's still a little early, but if you need it, I can help You introduce two old folks who can influence the votes of a lot of people."

"Let's wait for the awards season to come." Wayne nodded gratefully. He knew that the so-called old buddies were the seniors in the academy. One vote, but a large number of people.

Time passed in the chat between the two, and the cheers from outside the door could be passed into the theater from time to time. In order to build momentum for the film, Warner Bros. invited many guests to stand on the stage, and no one dared to underestimate the competitors with superstars.

When the main creators of the crew arrived one by one, the outside of the theater gradually returned to quiet, and fans began to line up to enter.

Wayne and George Lucas stayed together, and from time to time, someone would come up to greet each other. The two simply went downstairs early and got into the screening room. After asking the staff, they sat in the reserved seat. Wait for the movie to start.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the noisy projection room gradually quieted down. As the lights on the ceiling went out, the projector projected a beam of gorgeous light, hitting the front curtain, and the movie officially started.

"Pure picture philosophy." At the end of the film, George Lucas nodded slightly and sighed. "Jane has done an excellent job. Compared to other disaster films, he has made enough new ideas in an old story."

Wayne also agreed with this view, and said in a low voice: "This film will sell well."

In his eyes, this film can be regarded as the pioneering work of "picture philosophy" in modern movies. From the perspective of pictures, special effects, and big scenes, it is indeed not as good as the technology of later disaster films, but in terms of the theme and performance of the film, it is by no means thin, beyond the limitations of common disaster films, it can be regarded as the best disaster film theme one.

This movie, as long as you watch it, will leave a deep impression on people. This is also one of the early movies that can successfully enter the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The reason why Wayne believes that this "Tornado" can confront Tom's "Mission Impossible" head-on is because he had seen this classic disaster film when he was a child in a previous life. Well, it was when he was in elementary school. Organization to see.

Many people may not understand why a group of mad scientists are chasing the wind to study the reason for tornadoes running around the country, but ordinary people born in this land can understand the meaning.

Don't think that everything is good in North America. This country is the country that suffers the most tornadoes in the world, and it is ravaged several times every year. Moreover, in North America, tornadoes are very extensive in both scale and locations.

When the film gradually came to the end, when the male and female protagonists kissed each other in the picture, before the lights in the theater were turned on again, with a "coax", huge applause resounded throughout the entire auditorium.

Wayne and George Lucas also stood up together, and together with hundreds of fans behind them, gave their own applause to the main creator of the crew.

"A very sincere, top-level disaster film. UU Reading "

Looking at the father of Star Wars beside him, Wayne gave his own evaluation. In this era, whether it's special effects or everything else, this movie is definitely a top production.

"You're right." George Lucas shook his head behind him and said, "This film will be a big hit, no surprise. Steven and Jane have produced a high-quality film together. Commercial films, Warner Bros. is really lucky, and now Paramount next door should have a headache."

Under the curtain at the front of the theater, the main creator of the film and crew led the curtain call under the leadership of Steven Spielberg. The audience's applause lasted for at least five minutes, which undoubtedly proved how popular the film was.

Unlike the work Wayne has been shooting, this "Tornado" fits most people's aesthetics and allows most people to see what they want to see.

And the films produced by Wayne, no matter how high the box office sells, there will be polarized voices. People who like them like them to death, and people who don't like them don't watch them. This part of the situation exists objectively. After all, the nature of the film put it there.

Like this "Tornado", it is completely different. The whole film does not have a strong stylization, but it will gain more love from passers-by and fans, which is usually the premise of a big-selling film.

"Come on, let's go say hello."

When the fans started to exit, Wayne took the assistant lady and walked under the theater curtain with George Lucas, sending his best wishes to the creative team.

"Going for a spin at the party?" George Lucas asked.

"Hmm." He nodded. "Go for a spin, say hello to Bruce, and I'm ready to go back to rest."
