Martin chose “The Matrix”, a blockbuster commercial film, as his adolescent pioneer.
I have long thought that I will be criticized by film critics.
But he doesn’t care.
In this place of 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 interests, Hollywood can hype Li Xiaolong and Kung Fu, and for the sake of interests, Hollywood can make blacks god …
As long as it can bring benefits to everyone, these film critics will not affect Martin’s position in this circle.
For example, Tom Cruise, who has been scolded by film critics for so many years, he still holds a supergiant position, and various scripts have received soft.
And with the advent of the Internet era, everyone is an opinion leader, and the good days of film critics are about to pass.
“Neo, have you ever felt this way, that is, you are not sure if you are awake or dreaming?”
“Throw away all selfish thoughts, throw away fears, doubts and rejections, and free your mind!”
“That’s awesome!” looked at Lawrence Fishburne, who looked like a stick on the monitor, and Andy Wozowski whispered in his brother’s ear.
“Yes, Martin’s lines are literally written in our hearts!”
Larry Wachowski glanced at Martin in the field, what a confidant, but it’s a pity that this guy is a straight man at a glance.
The next scene is in the martial arts hall.
But here, Martin changed the Japanese-style martial arts hall in the original film into a Chinese-style hall – carved column painting building, simple and elegant!
Martin and Zou Zhaolong’s fight scene was very smooth.
Zou Zhaolong was very surprised, it was the first time he had seen such a big European and American star, and he could do such a good job of Xiangjiang-style martial arts moves!
“Mr. Meyers has good skills, has he studied martial arts?”
“After learning a little, Huaxia Kung Fu also learned a little fur from Master Yuan. ”
“You’re not fur!”
Zou Zhaolong suddenly thought, if this person collaborates with Fang Shilong and Li Lianjie in a kung fu film, I don’t know what the effect will be?
July.
A special person came to Sydney to visit the “Matrix” crew.
“Mr. Lucas, why are you here!”
To be honest, seeing the arrival of George Lucas, the godfather of Star Wars, Martin was still quite surprised in his heart.
I don’t seem to have any intersection with this person?
George Lucas was very familiar with himself, and seeing that Martin was still shooting, he said: “You guys shoot yours, I’ll take a look at it casually, and we’ll talk when the shooting is over.” ”
Martin was also open-minded and said with a smile: “Okay!”
When Martin finished filming this scene, he and George Lucas found a place to sit, and then asked:
“Mr. Lucas. ”
“Call me George. ”
“OK, George, what’s the matter with you coming over today?”
George Lucas smiled and said, “There is indeed something, I want to ask you to help me write a script.” ”
Martin was stunned for a moment, and then said in amazement: “The script?
George Lucas looked at Martin and said sincerely: “I watched all your screenwriters’ movies and found that you know Hollywood rhythms very well, and your movies can always arrange the foreshadowing and high (tide) just right, substituting the audience’s emotions into it.” ”
And magic, Martin thought to himself.
George Lucas continued: “So I want you to help write a script for Star Wars, in fact, I was still a little worried about your screenwriting ability in science fiction, but after watching this “Matrix” that you filed with the Writers Association, I knew that I was worried in vain. ”
Speaking of this, George Lucas shook his head in amazement, “This is the most creative sci-fi script I have ever seen, and you have created a unique world. ”
“To be honest, what worries me more now is that you won’t be willing to take the job. ”
Saying that, George Lucas looked at Martin and asked, “So would you like to?”
Martin wanted to laugh a little, how did it sound like a marriage proposal?!
He pondered for a moment and asked, “George, as far as I know, you personally wrote the first two Star Wars films, why don’t you continue to do this this time?”
George Lucas smiled bitterly and said: “To be honest, my ability to tell stories is average, in fact, it can be seen from the first part of Star Wars, but at that time I shocked everyone with advanced special effects, and there was no plot at home.” ”
“By the time the second film was released, there were already statements about the weak plot of the script, but I still covered up this weakness with shocking special effects. ”
“But with the more and more developed special effects technology, more and more special effects movies, and more shocking visual effects that people have seen, it is difficult to attract people by relying on special effects alone, and more people will inevitably return their attention to the plot.” ”
Speaking of this, George Lucas shook his head. [ Read more novels for free on our website: tinyurl.com/2aa54z8b ]
“And the plot is my weak point, so I hope to find a reliable screenwriter for my third Star Wars, and Martin, you, is my first choice.” ”
After speaking, he looked at Martin with burning eyes.
Martin pondered again.
To be honest, he didn’t want to be a Star Wars writer.
Because this series of movies is branded with too much George Lucas.
The success of the movie is naturally the credit of George Lucas, and the failure of his own inevitable back part of the pot is not worth the loss.
Of course, he is also confident that if he is responsible for the screenwriting, he is unlikely to fail.
In the previous life, the plot of “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” was so bad that it was a huge success at the box office, and it was impossible to write a script worse than that.
In fact, this series of movies can attract people into the cinema by relying on marketing sentiment alone, and as long as the plot is slightly more reliable, it can be a big seller.
But Martin didn’t want to waste his time on a movie that wasn’t destined to brand himself.
After thinking about it, he said: “George, thank you very much, but you know 137, I will definitely participate in the investment in all the scripts I write, and I don’t like others to modify my scripts, including editing them according to my split-shot script.” Look, can you accept it?”
George Lucaston groaned.
He can accept Martin’s investment, but only to give him a share of the box office, which is impossible.
You can also agree without modifying the script.
But if there is no editing right in the end…
George Lucas shook his head.
He stood up and held out his hand to Martin, “It’s a pity, Martin!”
“Me too, George!” Martin reached out and shook George Lucas’s hand, “I’ll have a chance to work together later.” ”
George Lucas laughed, “I hope so.” ”
On the journey back, George Lucas had a feeling that he and Martin might never have the chance to work together in their lives.
After carefully analyzing what Martin said, and confirming it with the situation of several films shot by Martin before, it can be found that Martin’s desire to control his film is very strong-
Almost all of his films require that the editing must follow the sub-shot script, and the director has little room for play at all.
And himself, who is also very persistent in his own ideas, if he cooperates, will he fight?
Then he will definitely be beaten by Martin!
Thinking of this, George Lucas couldn’t help but wonder.
