Martin chose"The Matrix", a popular commercial film, as his first film in adolescence.
I had long expected that it would be panned by film critics.
But he doesn't care.
In Hollywood, there are all kinds of problems, but there is one thing that can suppress any problem - and that is profit!
For the sake of profit, Hollywood can promote Li Xiaolong and Kung Fu. For the sake of profit, Hollywood can film black people as gods...
As long as it can bring benefits to everyone, these film critics cannot affect Martin's status in this circle.
For example, Tom Cruise has been scolded by film critics for so many years, but he still firmly maintains his status as a super star, and various scripts have been treated poorly.
And with the advent of the Internet age, everyone is an opinion leader, and the good days of film critics are about to pass.
"Neo, have you ever had this feeling, where you're not sure whether you're awake or dreaming?"
"Throw away all selfish thoughts, throw away fears, doubts and rejections, and free your mind!"
"What a great line!"Looking at Laurence Fishburne who was like a magician on the monitor, Andy Wachowski whispered in his brother's ear.
"Yes, Martin's lines simply spoke to our hearts!"
Larry Wachowski glanced at Martin in the scene. He is really a confidant. It's a pity that this guy is a straight man at first glance. The next scene is in the martial arts gym.
But here, Martin transformed the Japanese character from the original film The martial arts hall was transformed into a Chinese-style hall - carved railings and painted buildings, simple and elegant!
The fight scene between Martin and Zou Zhaolong went very smoothly.
Zou Zhaolong was very surprised. It was the first time for him to see such a big European and American star, who could transform Xiangjiang The martial arts moves are so well done!
"Mr. Meyers has good skills, has he learned fighting?"
"I have learned a little bit, and I also learned a little bit about Chinese Kung Fu from Master Yuan."
"This is not just furry!"
Zou Zhaolong suddenly had a whim. If this man collaborated with Fang Shilong and Li Lianjie in a kung fu movie, how would the effect be?
In July, a special person came to Sydney to visit the crew of"The Matrix"
"Mr. Lucas, why are you here?"
To be honest, Martin was quite surprised when he saw the arrival of George Lucas, the Godfather of Star Wars.
He didn't seem to have any interaction with him?
George Lucas was very familiar with him, so when he saw Martin, they also While filming, he said,"You take your pictures, I'll just take a look at them, and we'll talk after the filming is over."
Martin was also open-minded and said with a smile,"Okay!""
After Martin finished filming the scene, he and George Lucas found a place to sit down, and then asked:
"Mr. Lucas"
"call me george"
"OK, George, why are you here today?
George Lucas smiled and said,"It's true. I want to ask you to help me write a script."
Martin was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:"Script?" It can't be"Star Wars", right?"
"That’s right, it’s Star Wars》!"George Lucas looked at Martin and said sincerely:"I have watched all the movies written by you and found that you understand the rhythm of Hollywood very well. Your movies can always arrange the foreshadowing and climax just right, and put the audience's emotions into it." Among them."
There is also a role for magic, Martin thought to himself.
George Lucas continued:"So I want you to help write a"Star Wars" script. Actually, I was a little worried about your ability to write science fiction films, but after reading the script you filed with the Writers Guild, After watching"The Matrix", I realized that my worries were in vain."
At this point, George Lucas shook his head in admiration,"This is the most creative science fiction script I have ever seen. You created a unique world"
"To be honest, what I'm more worried about now is that you are unwilling to take this job."
As he said, George Lucas looked at Martin and asked:"Then are you willing? Martin wanted to laugh a little, why does it sound like a proposal?!
He thought about it and asked:"George, as far as I know, you wrote the first two Star Wars movies yourself. Why don't you continue to do it this time?""
George Lucas smiled bitterly and said:"To be honest, my storytelling ability is average. In fact, you can see it from the first Star Wars movie. It's just that I shocked everyone with my advanced special effects. No drama"
"By the time the second part was released, there were already comments that the script was weak, but I still used stunning special effects to cover up this weakness."
"But as special effects technology becomes more and more developed, there are more and more special effects movies, and people have seen more shocking visual effects. It is difficult to attract people with special effects alone, and more people will inevitably return their attention. On to the plot."
Speaking of this, George Lucas shook his head. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"The plot is my weak point, so I hope to find a reliable screenwriter for my third"Star Wars", and Martin, you are my first choice."
After saying that, he looked at Martin with burning eyes.
Martin considered it again.
To be honest, he didn't want to be the screenwriter of"Star Wars".
Because this series of movies has too many George Lucas imprints.
The movie was successful. Naturally, it is George Lucas's credit. If he fails, he will inevitably bear part of the blame, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Of course, he is also confident that if he is responsible for the screenplay, the possibility of failure is unlikely.
In the previous life,"Star Wars""Attack of the Clones" has such a bad plot and was a huge success at the box office. It is impossible for me to write a worse script than that.
In fact, this series of movies can attract people into the cinema just by relying on marketing sentiment. As long as the plot is a little more believable, it will be a hit.
But Martin didn't want to waste time on a movie that was destined to fail to make his own mark.
After thinking about it, he said:"George, thank you very much for your attention, but As you know 137, I will definitely participate in the investment of all the scripts written by me, and I don’t like others to modify my scripts, including editing according to my storyboards. Look, can you accept it?"
George Lucas suddenly pondered.
He can accept Martin's investment, but he can only promise him a share of the box office, not peripherals. He can agree without modifying the script.
But if he doesn't have the final editing rights...
George Lu Cass shook his head.
He stood up and stretched out his hand to Martin,"Sorry, Martin!"
"Me too, George! Martin stretched out his hand and shook George Lucas's hand,"We will cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future."
George Lucas smiled and said,"I hope so.""
During the trip back, George Lucas had a feeling: He and Martin might never have the chance to work together in this life.
After carefully analyzing what Martin said, and using the situations of several movies that Martin had shot before, To prove it, you will find that Martin has a very strong desire to control his movies - almost all of his movies require that the editing must follow the shot script, and the director does not have much room for development.
As for himself, he is also a person who has great control over himself. People with very persistent ideas, if they cooperate, will there be a fight?
Then he will definitely be beaten by Martin!
Thinking of this, George Lucas can't help but smile.
(Brothers, please protect me, comment, flowers, collection, Please give me some rewards, thank you.)
