The box office of the film market is developing according to certain rules. For example, there were not many commercial films in the mainland market in the past, because there were too few people who went to cinemas to watch movies. Most of the people who were willing to go to cinemas were people with certain abilities and social status (Shaolin Temple should have been considered a commercial film in that era).

Therefore, art films were popular; later this fact changed, and more and more people entered the cinema. Feng Xiaogang also began to cultivate himself year after year, developing the habit of Chinese people watching New Year's movies every year, so the box office gradually rose. However, in 1999, movies were not the first choice for the general public. If there were no particularly anticipated movies, most of the time when everyone paid their salary, they would deposit it in the bank.

And this year's National Day, "The Matrix" is obviously such a movie worth looking forward to.

As the sixth set of programs of Central China|CCTV, the movie channel transmits programs to the whole country through satellite compression and scrambling. Since its successful trial broadcast on November 30, 1995, it officially started on January 1, 1996, and is also the only professional film channel in the country to date. In 1999, the national population has reached 585 million. According to CCTV-Sofre Company's ratings survey and statistics on the ratings of various channels of Central China|CCTV in the sample areas, the average ratings and shareholding of the movie channel in all channels of Central China|CCTV are among the best.

Such a TV channel with exclusive movies is still very popular among domestic filmmakers.

As the host sat down, an action was heard on the spot and the interview officially began.

"Welcome Director Chen Tiandu to our exclusive dialogue on our movie channel, welcome." The host applauded himself.

Chen Tian was wearing a warm sweater, entered the venue with a smile, waved to the camera, "Hello everyone."

A pair of flat eyebrows are rich like ink charcoal, loyal and handsome, making people feel good.

"I heard today that I would be interviewing Director Chen Tiandu. I was so nervous that I was afraid that there would be any mistakes in this interview. When I actually met the director, I realized that it was very friendly. In fact, everyone didn't know that before the start, the director saw that we were very nervous and kept joking with everyone to ease the tension. I would like to ask the director, when you are filming, you have to be a director and have multiple actors. Will you also enlighten other staff members in the crew like this?"

"Yes, filming is a collective job. I am not actually a person with strong abilities. I have to be a director and perform. When the filming starts, everyone's attention is all on me, and I am so nervous. Fortunately, I am still an investor, so I will do it again after I smash the filming. I have to practice it with more and more times. But when others work with me, I can't be too nervous, so it is necessary to enlighten everyone, and it is also one of the director's jobs."

The host said: "Actually, strictly speaking, you graduated from 1997 and went to Hollywood to film. It's only two years now. So the first drama "The Sixth Sense" since your debut has reached the peak that others can't see. Will it have any impact on your future filming of "The Matrix"?"

Chen Tian nodded for sure and said, "Of course there will be an impact. There is an old saying in China that the higher you stand, the more painful it will be. "The Sixth Sense" is so popular. After that, everyone will pay close attention to my second movie. Fortunately, I am a thick-skinned person, and the opposite of pressure is also motivation. It is like a whip, always urging you to make this movie well behind it. Fortunately, the movie "The Matrix" has not finally disappointed everyone."

"Directors, actors, screenwriters, your movies are often filled with multiple characters, and others say you have a strong desire to control. Your first movie is a horror movie, the second movie is a science fiction movie and the third movie is a feature movie. Have you ever thought about the side you are best at?"

"There is a desire to control... I have thought about this question. As long as it is a movie I starred in, if I work with other directors, I may not be satisfied. Because my story doesn't like others to point fingers, I can do it more harder and the director will do it myself. After all, I am a graduate of the director department, and the director is my main job. When it comes to the side of being good at, I can't answer this. Every drama is so attentive. If I ask which movie I like more, I can tell you the answer directly..."

"Oh, what kind of movie is it?" the host asked curiously.

"Ha, it's actually nothing strange. I prefer vulgar comedy because it's more down-to-earth. If I have the chance, I hope to make a comedy I like every few years, so that everyone can laugh until their stomachs hurt. That's what I yearn for."

...

On the evening of September 30, the Temple of Heaven in Yanjing was brightly lit. The huge movie posters of Neo, Trinity and Morpheus occupied the most conspicuous position on the Temple of Heaven, and the inflatable model of the mechanical spacecraft was also set up. With the decoration of the mechanical squid, the entire scene was rich and gorgeous.

This is the first film in China's history to premiere at the Temple of Heaven.

Chinese people pay more attention to pomp. Perhaps some people now think that a movie that fights and kills is screened in the Temple of Heaven, which is too disgraceful. But a few years later, even the People|Ministry|God|Gao|Gao|Gao|Gao|Gao|Gao|Gao|Gao|Gao|Never thought of it.

Without too many celebrities to help, the audience who came here also bought all the seats. Chen Tiandu was the only one, and it caused a shocking cheer as soon as he appeared. This surprised Chen Tiandu himself. He was a little popular in the United States, but he was not in China all year round, and so many people were sought after by him, which was really touching.

There were several special audiences sitting in the front row. Donnie was interested and watched the boss receive the audience's applause on the stage and said to Ma Huateng beside him: "The boss is more popular in the United States, especially after the release of "The Matrix".

Ma Huateng asked curiously: "I heard that the box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars. With such a large box office, how much can Matrix Company get from it?"

Donnie shook his head, "I am just the boss's personal investment consultant lawyer, not a member of the matrix company. The profits of the movie are very complicated. Blockbusters like "The Matrix" are not the biggest profit point, and more profits come from the surrounding offline. I don't know what the specific profit is. Anyway, after the boss's two movies, some media in the United States have settled the score for him, saying that he is the youngest billionaire."

Ma Huateng and others were envious of it. They have only been a billionaire in just two years. The movies are really profitable.

Chen Tian on the stage was a little excited and shouted loudly: "As a filmmaker, the premiere is the moment I enjoy the most. As a Chinese filmmaker, I want to say that playing movies in front of my family members in my motherland is the most exciting moment."

Everyone looked at Chen Tiandu on the stage, and the reporter's flash was connected into a film.

"No matter what achievements and honors my movie has achieved overseas, I hope it can be seen by domestic audiences and try every means to bring it back to China for release. I hope more domestic fans can see my movie. If a filmmaker leaves his motherland and his compatriots in his motherland, then his movie is a water without a source and a tree without roots, and is destined to grow. Thank you for your support, I love you."

"Wow~~" There was a lot of applause and cheers from the audience.

The host suddenly said: "There is another important guest who arrived at the scene today. Can Director Chen guess who it is?"

Chen Tian was stunned. This was not a pre-arranged procedure. He deliberately said a few names, "Spielberg? Zhang Yimou? Director of the Li case? Stop playing, I can't guess this."

"Hahaha, it's not difficult for the director. We invited our Morpheus actor Lawrence Fishburn and our beautiful "Triniti" Miss Kate Beckinsale. They had jobs and had no schedule for China, but this time they refused to come to work just to meet with Chinese audiences..."

Then he saw the big black man walking up with the graceful Kate. Chen Tiandu was stunned and then smiled. He smiled helplessly: "I actually hid it. I will have you all the best in the next drama."

Kate walked over and greeted the audience in half-baked Chinese, and then generously held Chen Tiandu's arm. The audience screamed, "Kiss one, kiss one, kiss one..."

The host also started a cheer, "What should I do if Miss Kate doesn't understand Chinese? Should I call kiss?"

“kiss, kiss, kiss…”

Lawrence also understood this time and joked: "I feel that I am redundant. I've left it to you on the scene. I'm going back." After that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey." Chen Tiandu walked over with a chuckle and gave him a big hug, "Thank you, man."

"kiss, kiss, kiss..." The fans on the field were still shouting.

Chen Tiandou spread his hands helplessly, and Kate smiled so much that he took the initiative to hug him and hook his neck. Chen Tiandou put his hands naturally on Kate's waist. When he lowered his head, a pair of cold prints on his lips. He hadn't seen him for many days, and he tasted this kiss, but it didn't take too much fire, but it seemed to be even more enthusiastic.

“Wow~~”
Chapter completed!
