Chapter 263： Turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain

After meeting with Nuonuo in person, Zhang Dongcheng was relieved a lot.

This time Michelle Yeoh was injured, Zhang Dongcheng had to stay in Australia for a few days. In the past few days, Zhang Dongcheng stayed in the crew of The Matrix 2 every day, directing Wachowski's filming. It is a bit exaggerated to say that the director is a bit exaggerated.

However, with the experience of filming The Matrix 1, Zhang Dongcheng can indeed give the Wachowski brothers a lot of advice.

This girl named Nuonuo did not disappoint Zhang Dongcheng and the others. Although her acting skills are not as good as Michelle Yeoh's, her movements are completely fine.

According to the re-adjusted shooting plan, when the shots that can be completed by doubles are finished, Michelle Yeoh's injuries will basically heal. The rest of the literary dramas and less active scenes can be handed over to her to complete!

The crisis of the Matrix 2 crew, here, finally survived unharmed.

But those reporters with sharp eyes and ears will not let the news go.

"Smith Zhang suddenly put down his work and went to the Matrix crew in Australia. According to people familiar with the matter, Michelle Young, who played the heroine, was seriously injured during filming. Judging from her injuries, Matrix 2 Unable to meet the audience within the estimated time!

The Matrix 2 is the sequel to Smith Chang's The Matrix 1 from last year. Directed by the screenwriters Wachowski brothers, filmed by the original crew. This is the film with the largest investment in Dongcheng Films, even surpassing the soon-to-be-started Bourne Shadow. The sudden accident now, perhaps, it will give Smith Zhang the taste of failure for the first time! "—"Entertainment Weekly"

"The heroine of The Matrix is ​​seriously injured, and the release date is nowhere in sight, and there is a risk of early death!" - "Los Angeles Daily"

In addition to these pessimistic reports. The Los Angeles Film News and Zhang Dongcheng's deadly rival, the Los Angeles Media News, also got into an argument over this matter.

"Smith Zhang is a very lucky clown. Although his films have achieved enviable high box office every time, this success is not based on the excellence of the film. Outrageous means of propaganda.

Smith got a taste of the sweetness after his graduate work, The Mixer, made a big splash at the Cannes Film Festival. When it came to the mummy, this kind of propaganda reached its peak, and even created mass incidents.

Dongcheng Films is like a castle built on the beach, and the failure of The Matrix 2 is a huge wave. Although it may not completely destroy the company, as long as there are a few accidents in the remaining films, Smith will have nothing again!

Now it seems clear that his luck ran out. Perhaps in the near future, we will see a complete loser! "—"Los Angeles Media Information"

The arguments in the newspaper seem to make sense, but if you think about it carefully, these arguments are completely untenable.

For example, Zhang Dongcheng’s movies are all based on publicity, but what about the success of the two big smoking guns? Could this be considered propaganda? You know, when the movie was first released in the UK, Zhang Dongcheng almost became a street rat.

But this fact was deliberately ignored by the Los Angeles media.

As for saying that Dongcheng Films is a castle on the beach, anyone with a little brain will know that this kind of judgment is completely out of cuteness.

The investment in The Matrix 2, although not as much as the 150 million budget announced to the outside world, is also more than the spy shadow's 100 million US dollars. Even for the eight major film companies, such an accident may not be easy.

Don’t you see, just a Titanic with only an investment of 200 million US dollars almost dragged Fox and Paramount down. It won't be easy.

As a firm supporter of Zhang Dongcheng, the Los Angeles Film News refuted the Los Angeles media information one by one.

The two newspapers quickly diverted from the unexpected issue of The Matrix 2, and completely turned into a war of words.

"Smith Zhang's success does have an element of luck, but it is undeniable that luck is also part of strength. The most famous French king, Napoleon, was defeated in Waterloo because of bad luck.

As for the success of Smith's film is entirely dependent on publicity, oh! Oh, God! I think people who think this way must have their brains thrown down the toilet.

Have these people forgotten the circumstances under which Smith Chang's two-smoking gun was successful?

At that time, Smith was the target of public criticism in the UK. He was so demeaned that he was almost devastated. Even the initial canvas was only two pieces. If this can be considered as propaganda, then he did rely on propaganda to achieve his current achievements.

It is undeniable that if The Matrix 2 really fails, Dongcheng Pictures will indeed suffer a devastating blow. Such a disaster is not only unbearable for Dongcheng Pictures, no company in Hollywood can survive such a failure. Don't forget what happened during the filming of Titanic! "—"Los Angeles Film News"

Los Angeles media information, as a member who is determined to smear Zhang Dongcheng, naturally it is impossible for the Los Angeles Film News to whitewash its own smear so easily.

The battle of words started from this, but the topic that can be found in the movie, no matter how popular it is, and how popular it is for readers, after talking about it several times, it will feel like chewing wax.

As a result, the attention of the two newspapers gradually began to shift away from the movie. This debate has gradually involved more and more media.

Zhang Dongcheng, who was far away in Australia, had to come back early. Of course, the reason why he came back was not because of the scolding in the newspapers, but mainly because the documentary about a thousand ways to die produced by ZDC TV was about to start broadcasting.

Furthermore, the problem of The Matrix 2 has been resolved, and it is impossible for Zhang Dongcheng to stay in Australia forever.

As soon as he returned to the United States, Zhang Dongcheng was approached by Adaman.

"Smith, how is Miss Michelle? How is the crew? Is the movie really in big trouble?" Adaman asked anxiously.

As the outside world has said, there is no room for loss in The Matrix 2. The stall of Dongcheng Pictures is too big. Even with a short-term film investment fund such a whimsical fund-raising method, it cannot make up for the weak foundation.

The most important thing is that the short-term film investment fund has only succeeded once under the leadership of Zhang Dongcheng. If it fails disastrously the second time, it will be a huge blow to the next fundraising. It can't be said that this omnipotent weapon will become Dongcheng Pictures' own bomb.

"Don't worry! Although Michelle's injury is serious, the doctor said that she will be able to resume normal activities in about two months!" Zhang Dongcheng sat on the boss's chair and stretched himself. In a few days, he flew back and forth between the United States and Australia, and was busy with film issues in the middle. Zhang Dongcheng never got enough time to rest. Really exhausted.

"What about the movie? Could it be that the work will be suspended for two months?" Adaman asked Zhang Dongcheng in despair, his eyes widened.

Zhang Dongcheng smiled confidently and shook his head. Said: "Okay, don't worry, Adaman. We have solved the problem of the movie!"

"Solved?" Adaman breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little confused. Michelle Yeoh can only lie on the hospital bed, unable to move, without the heroine, how to solve this problem?

Seeing Adaman's curious look, Zhang Dongcheng didn't hide anything, and told him Yuan Heping's idea.

Now Adaman was completely relieved. "WooPing really did a great job this time. I think we have to reward him!"

As the general manager has been serving as the general manager for longer, Adaman has become more and more comfortable playing the way of the imperial court.

"OK! You can figure it out! I've been exhausted for the past two days, so I'll take a rest today. I have to finish filming the secret battle tomorrow!" Zhang Dongcheng gave a hutch and prepared to go home.

"Wait, Smith!" Adaman stopped Zhang Dongcheng and said, "I don't think you can rest today!"

"Why?" Zhang Dongcheng asked suspiciously with his eyes wide open.

"Look at this first!" Adaman took out some newspapers from the side of Zhang Dongcheng's desk, handed them to Zhang Dongcheng, and said: "These days, things about the Matrix are about to turn upside down. Lots of newspapers and media are waiting to see our jokes!"

After flipping through the reports in the media, Zhang Dongcheng calmly put the newspaper down and said, "Don't worry about them! When The Matrix is ​​released, these remarks will have no foothold at all! These are minor problems, except Is there anything else about this? If not, I'll go back first!"

Adaman feels more and more that Zhang Dongcheng has a taste of arrogance. Not long ago, he said so when the script was leaked, and it is still the same now.

"Smith!" Adaman looked unusually serious, stopped Zhang Dongcheng again and said: "I think we need to have a good talk!"

"Can tomorrow be okay? I'm really exhausted today!" Zhang Dongcheng said, rubbing his dry eyes.

"NO! NO! NO!" Adaman shook his head again and again, and said, "Smith, don't you feel that you have become more and more arrogant recently? For the comments in the newspaper, you are completely dismissive! I think it may be the previous success, Makes you proud!"

This guy Adaman is not just a bad friend who is specially funny. He is also a friend! When he found out that Zhang Dongcheng had a problem, he raised it without hesitation.

But this time, Adaman was indeed too worried. It's still too early for The Matrix to hit theaters. As Zhang Dongcheng who can see the consultation for decades in the future, he can learn from many publicity methods. It can be said that in terms of publicity, Zhang Dongcheng can completely turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain!
