Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 398 is really outstanding

The dark green Pixar logo, completely different from the animated version, appeared on the screen, then disappeared, and then pieces of dark green characters fell down, and finally only a few remained to form the title of the film.

The title is the same as the original except for some shots, except that the woman in black sitting in front of the computer is more beautiful, and the pale and cold temperament is more attractive in this environment.Then, the police inside broke in and the agents outside just arrived, and then there was naturally a fight in the room, 360° flying kicks were indispensable, and Trinity's neat movements and the last POSS fully explained what Cool, but this is just the beginning, the difference is behind.

At this moment, the police team at the corner ran over from the narrow passage and raised their guns to shoot immediately after hearing the gunshot, but Trinity suddenly jumped forward and rolled on the spot, and just like that came to the police pile, Then he drew his gun and got up, turned around, twisted his body, kept changing his movements while keeping his arms waving according to the established trajectory, and pulled the trigger.

The policemen couldn't react as they should. Even though they tried to shoot, their hands were hit by bullets before they were raised. All their actions were within Trinity's expectations, even their The trembling after being shot is included in the calculation. The woman in the middle can take advantage of any movement of the policemen, and the arms waving up and down, left and right are like precise machinery to pour bullets on them. The light of the fire made the narrow passage alternate between light and dark, making the figure in the middle exude a cool temperament in every gesture, but this is not the end.

Although the camera cut made this scene look like it took a lot of time, it only lasted about ten seconds in the movie, so when these policemen finally fell down, two more people rushed out from the corner, drew their guns and shot , Trinity immediately turned around a few steps, stepped on the wall, took a few more steps, then jumped up in the air, fell from the air with an upside-down cross and shot at both sides at the same time, instantly solved the two police forts, and then landed and rolled again Put out a POSS.

Hearing the surprised whispers around her, Angela raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction. This is the cool thing she added—gun fighting! The whole story of "The Matrix" is cool as the selling point. Both the modeling and the fighting are very good in this respect, but the gun battle is a little weaker in comparison. This is not to say that it is not good, but the expression method is similar to the general gun battle. There is almost no difference between action movies, so when Angela was thinking about how to make gunfights cool, the first thing she thought about was gunfighting.

The movie "The Doomsday" was probably the first to propose the concept of gun fighting. However, the response after the movie was released was not very good. Although the fighting was gorgeous, it was too contrived to make people feel very unreal.Later, the Japanese used it in animations and games—such as "Devil May Cry", but it spread and became popular with many people.

When Angela made the settings, she deliberately studied it on the drawing paper. She was not worried about the conflict between gun fighting skills and Kung Fu. No matter how good gun fighting skills are, it is still useless to meet secret agents——Trinity played by Kate on the screen He has already started to run for his life, facing the program that can dodge even if the gun is aimed at the forehead, and will never die, nothing can be done.Moreover, the gun fighting technique is too intense, and it is not suitable for expressing procedural conflicts, which is different from what the ancient and bold kung fu wants to express.

And there is another advantage of putting gun fighting in "The Matrix". This kind of technology is impossible to appear in reality, but the virtual space is another matter. From this point of view, it feels quite tailor-made.

Of course, gun fighting skills cannot be completely copied to "The Matrix". Whether it is "Tearing Doomsday" or "Devil May Cry", the gun fighting skills in them are too gorgeous and empty, so Angela racked her brains to try her best in the "Matrix". While retaining the coolness embodied in the gun fighting technique, it cannot be overwhelming.For her, this task is both simple and complex. On paper, she can freely draw imaginary fierce movements freely, but it is not an easy task to turn them into scenes in movies.

Fortunately, "The Matrix" is guided by professionals in terms of action. Yuan Baye still has a little interest in the gun fighting technique she designed, so he will also participate in the discussion of the gun fighting technique when designing the fighting action. According to him It's just that this movie only gets its shape but loses its spirit in terms of kung fu. Since we can't demand too much, we have to make up for it in other actions.

Although the other party said it very impolitely, in Angela's eyes, this version of "The Matrix" is still quite good in fighting. The movie is indeed unique, and it actually manages to give people a sharp and concise feeling but lacks a heavy feeling because of the virtual space!Especially when Keanu used half-lazi Tai Chi to spar with Lawrence in the training program, Angela was very regretful before. What would happen if Yuan Baye supervised the editing of this fighting scene?

Therefore, Baye Yuan joined in the action design of the Gunfighting Technique, and Tiger also joined in from time to time, plus Ridley’s shooting—it’s obviously better to leave it to him for the gunfight—if there is nothing before If the sluggish fighting and 360° volley kick are amazing, the subsequent gun fighting technique makes people feel extremely refreshing, especially the air cross hanging upside down, which can be said to be the representative action of gun fighting technique, which makes people unable to resist Be in a low voice.

There are only three places in the whole movie where the gun fighting technique is completely used. One is the escape where Trinity brings out the story in the opening title. Fighting skills, here are handled very exciting, two people fight close to each other but shoot each other's head with a gun all the time, and at the same time block the moment the opponent pulls the trigger, Neo has experienced several failures, letting the bullet stop on his own After three times on the front of the forehead, I finally mastered the technique completely.

When filming here, Ridley had an argument with Angela. The old man thought that such a scene was unnecessary just to pretend to be cool. Angela revised the script after thinking about it—not canceling the scene but Modified the lines of Murphys. I said before that the gun fighting technique is almost impossible to appear in reality, because the person who uses it must not only respond quickly but also must be able to perform a large amount of calculations in an instant, but it can be justified in the virtual space. So in Murphys' inculcation, in addition to "what is truth" and "are you breathing air", "are you dodging with your body or with your head" and "are you obedient?" Bondage or break free” and so on, so this scene also has the same value as the previous Kung Fu confrontation and the subsequent jumping training, which looks very enjoyable.

The third place is naturally the fierce battle in the hall when Neo and Trinity went to rescue Murphys. There is no preaching of completely intense and hot action scenes here, although the shooting is a bit complicated due to the addition of gun fighting skills. But Ridley still controlled it very well, and Angela was inspired to deliberately make the camera fast and slow when editing, and then switch between close-ups and the whole. After several discussions, a very good result was obtained.

In addition, gunfights have also appeared in many places, such as when the subway station and Agent Smith shot each other before the fight, but they all appeared very short. After all, it is not the whole movie, there are many places to watch, different The fighting scenes of general action movies, the 360° bullet time, and the bullets stop when you reach out and press the void at the end, and the dark green digital world in Neo's eyes at the end, all of which firmly caught the audience's attention.

The two-hour film was finally over, and when the lights came on, whoever applauded first, the auditorium immediately burst into applause. Obviously, everyone was very satisfied with the first impression of "The Matrix".

"I have to say, this is an excellent movie!" Ed Cam, who was sitting in front of Angela, stood up and turned his head and said, "I'm thinking about whether I should hand over the film department to you to manage."

"Don't even think about it, Ed, just learn from Mr. Katzenberg honestly," Angela rebuffed, "My goal is Pixar's Steven Spielberg or David Geffen .”

"This is really a big goal. You must know that the management of the film department is still a bit bad in some places." After saying a few words, Ed turned to what he is good at, "After all, live-action movies are different from animated movies. "

"I think you can do it in your own way, anyway, for me, as long as you have enough authority." Angela waved her hand disapprovingly, "I'm just the producer or director, and you are the CEO. It's up to you."

"You've said it many times." Ed smiled and shook his head, then changed the subject: "If you have time, how about dubbing the upcoming new animation "A Bug's Life"?"

"Obviously, I can't refuse." Angela shrugged and agreed. After the two chatted a few more words, Ed greeted the others—Ridley, Keanu, and Lawrence, while Angela said hello. Naturally pulled Kate and whispered.

"Why, isn't it a good beginning?" Angela said with a smile, "Isn't it cool to wield two guns?"

"You have said this word many times, how many more times do you have to say it before you are willing?" Kate said helplessly. She was wearing a mid-length satin black dress with a hollow above her chest, looking very sexy and beautiful.

"But the selling point of this movie is this word." Angela looked innocent, but she changed the subject anyway, "To be honest, I was worried that after the concert, the finishing work of this movie might be terrible , In that case, the release will be postponed, and the previous publicity will be in vain, but I didn't expect Rayleigh and the others to do a great job."

"Why, there are things you didn't think of?" Kate said jokingly, "You are a genius."

"There are so many unexpected things in this world," Angela couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Speaking of which, if it wasn't for overtime work to complete the editing in early May, the delay might be a sure thing, but now it seems that maybe the next two I can hand over the production rights to Ridley, he has done a great job and is completely capable, and I think he must have the desire to do so."

"You really should hand over some of your work, you have too many things to do, busy with this and that all day long." Kate stared into her eyes, "You know that being too busy is not good for your health, especially for women. Body."

"Don't worry, I didn't forget to exercise even when I was the busiest," Angela shook her hand affectionately, "As long as you keep a reasonable work and rest time, you know how I exercise. "

"Well... indeed." Kate suddenly touched her mouth and turned her head away, as if she didn't know anything, Angela was stunned, then she realized that she wanted to go wrong, she felt a little embarrassed, she gritted her teeth and held Kate's hand The hand couldn't help adding a lot of strength.

"Hey, I didn't say anything?" Kate quickly explained in a low voice. Angela gave her a hard look, and then she let go of her hand reluctantly, her voice was low but threatening: "If it's not here In public..."

"Why, can you still play tricks on me?" Kate whispered teasingly, seeing Angela's eyes widened again, she smiled and shook her fingers: "Okay, instead of being angry with me, Why don't you think about how to face the reporter's questions later?"

Angela suddenly showed a headache. This sentence hit her vital point, and she knew with her toes that the reporters had to pay attention to her "temper change".Although this was planned with Jonathan, and the family's reaction was expected - Mom was noncommittal to Angela's excuse of "it's nothing, just a little conflict, maybe it's better to be friends", but they didn't expect the reporter But they are so enthusiastic, they follow around almost 24 hours a day, so that Jonathan can go anywhere, and Walter’s gallery has become a forbidden place, and finally they have to let their work overwhelm them. Even so, the reporters still say what Jonathan is doing. Use work to forget about this relationship.

Fortunately, the paparazzi did not dare to break into her family's villa. The day before yesterday, when her parents held a reception at home, they hoped that she would also attend. Although Angela often evaded, she never refused after her parents asked. However, that night she Like flowers surrounded by bees, there were several young men following her everywhere, which made her wonder whether it was right to break up with Jonathan.

"I'm sorry, sir, you seem to have gone to the wrong place. This is a press conference at the premiere of the movie, which is not a personal one." Angela, a reporter who faced a question, replied unceremoniously, "The Matrix" Is the completely virtual space in the movie because she doesn't believe in love?Are you out of your mind, idiot!

"But the public has the right to know." Although the reporter's face was a little red, he answered calmly.

"Then I also have the right not to answer." Angela crossed her hands on the table, and glanced at the reporter in front of her expressionlessly: "Which professional reporter wants to ask questions?"

The word "professional" was bitten hard by her.

The reporters didn't seem to respond, but the next question was indeed only temporarily related to the movie. After all, there is a bit of a difference between a reporter and a paparazzi, and the guy just now was indeed in the head. How could this kind of question be in the At the beginning of the reception, I asked, why do we have to wait until the last few minutes to concentrate our firepower?

"How is it?" Angela got up from the back of the car and looked outside through the rear window.

"I said they won't follow behind me, you are the focus." Kate, who was driving the car, glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a cocked mouth, followed by her face to see that Angela had hugged her from behind, and then A smack kiss.

"Hey honey, I'm driving." Kate said angrily.

"I know, I just want to be happy, escaped from the reporter's circle." Angela sat back and giggled, then moaned loudly, stretched her waist, and at the same time, she was in a mess on the seat Twisted, and finally lost his footing and screamed and fell under the seat.

"If possible, please sit in your seat?" Kate said with some headaches, and she could see that she had been holding back her smile.

"What's wrong? Did I make you restless?" Angela climbed on the back of the co-pilot this time, looked at Kate's side face with a smile and said.

"If you do this again, then I can't stop laughing, and then I can't control the steering wheel, and then accidentally drive on the sidewalk, and then accidentally hit some building, and finally accidentally crash the car!" Kate almost It's about gnashing your teeth.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to be the head office." Angela shook her head helplessly, as if she was very regretful.

In keeping quiet, they quickly returned to Kate's home, which was also where Angela originally lived. For some reasons, Angela was cautious until the car entered the garage and Kate went out to watch the wind. The man went out through the other door of the garage and entered the house through the back door.

"I'm finally able to rest, I'm so happy." Angela fell down on the sofa and shouted loudly.

"Would you like something to drink?" Kate's voice came.

"Plain water is fine." Angela turned over and crawled on the sofa, shaking her calf back and forth.

"No juice?" Kate put the cup on the tea table, sat down beside her and asked with a smile.

"If you want to quench your thirst, of course boiling water is the best." Angela jumped up, took the cup and drank it down, then curled her legs up on the sofa and leaned comfortably on Kate, "Sometimes, I feel like playing hide-and-seek with them It's actually quite interesting."

"I hope one day you won't be like Sean Penn, chasing reporters all over the street with a gun." Kate shook the glass of red wine in her hand, teasingly said, and then kissed Angela on the forehead kissed.

"Well, I'm just talking." Angela kissed back.

"Would you like some wine? Red wine, whiskey, or brandy? I still remember that when you were drinking in London, you had a lot of alcohol." Kate said suddenly.

"If it's just red wine..." Angela hesitated a little.

"Then the wine bar." Kate put down the glass in her hand, then pressed it to her ear and said in an ambiguous tone: "However, let's go upstairs first, how about?"
