Chapter 476: A sudden turn of events
Papa, papa—
Applause, thunder.
James was the first to take the lead in cheering, applauding the sharpness of the "New Yorker".
Finally, even though it only received moderate reviews, "The New Yorker" still retained its edge and color, attacking the film's conservatism and routines mercilessly.
Obviously, this is also an important controversy faced by "Spider-Man".
Sam Raimi indeed respected the original work and took a different approach to the superhero Peter Parker. However, considering the age of the original comics, it inevitably lags behind the current aesthetics. The loyalty of the original party may become a binding factor in the movie. Obstacles to forge ahead, which in turn affects the audience's engagement.
James looked serious, "What did I say? We should use the Little Green Goblin as the protagonist, and Harry is the most worth exploring character in the whole story, okay?"
cut .
This time, boos were thrown at James along with potato chips.
However, Anson did not join the boos because he knew that James was right -
In the future, when superhero stories have reached a dead end, Hollywood film companies will turn their attention to villains. "Spider-Man" himself is no exception, with famous villain Venom getting his own series of movies.
Just when Anson was about to tease James, a rapid knock on the door broke the atmosphere, and everyone looked towards the door.
Is anyone else late?
Anson himself was full of questions, "Wait a minute, Chris, aren't you preparing any surprises?"
Chris spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
James jokingly made a joke, "If it were Hayden, I would give him a hundred percent."
The atmosphere was slightly stagnant——
Jack , Ryan, and the others had no idea that Hayden once lived here; and the bad boy gang headed by Seth learned the ins and outs from James, and even if they didn't speak, they could tell that they didn't welcome Hayden.
So, I felt awkward all of a sudden.
James raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, it's a joke, just a joke."
But the joke was not funny.
What does it mean if it's really Hayden?
There are many, many possibilities, but one of them may be that the bad and terrible one among their series of guesses is the correct answer:
Hayden left without saying goodbye, maybe because Worried that Anson and James might be as successful as him, or even more successful, he left early to maintain his dignity before the positions of both parties were reversed and subverted. He was willing to be friends with people who were inferior to him but could not accept his friends and himself. Just as successful or even more successful than yourself.
But now, knowing that "Spider-Man" may sink like the Titanic, what he worried about will not happen, and they can continue to be friends with peace of mind.
So, he came back.
Anson really doesn’t want to speculate and explore in those dark and ugly directions. The impression of Hayden is definitely not like this; but...this is Hollywood, and they can’t guarantee that they won’t change. No one can guarantee I can be consistent in the face of fame and fortune.
Otherwise, why did Hayden choose to appear today?
Coincidence?
As much as Anson wanted to see Hayden again, it definitely wasn't right now.
Anson exchanged glances with James and Chris.
James still looks carefree. He has been mentally prepared for a long time. No matter what happens, he can face it calmly.
Chris stood up with a face full of anxiety and tried to leave the sofa and walk towards Anson.
Anson stopped Chris with his eyes, turned around and walked straight to the door.
After adjusting his breathing for a moment, Anson opened the door without hesitation -
"Surprise!"
Pop, crack.
Spark the paper fireworks and make a crackling sound in your mouth at the same time.
Then, Brad Renfro’s sweating and panting smiling face appeared in front of him.
After his tense mind relaxed a little, Anson showed an unbelievable smile. Looking back, James and Chris both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brad?" "You actually...but, what should the producer do? Are you sure it's okay?"
Anson looked behind Brad I looked around and saw no one else. Does this mean that the conversation between Brad and the producer did not go smoothly.
Anson carefully hid his worries.
Brad shook his head, smiled, and patted Anson on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I've taken care of everything, long live!"
Brad entered the room first and raised his hand to greet everyone. , "Hey everyone, happy movie review party!"
Chris and Anson had an idea. Although it was not Hayden who was a little relieved, Brad showed up here. What about the producer interview? ?
Chris quickly greeted Brad, "Are you sure?" Then he looked at Anson, his eyes full of confusion, but this time Anson couldn't give an answer.
Brad waved his hand, indicating that Chris didn’t need to worry, and didn’t hide anything, “Actually, a producer just invited me for an interview, but I thought, hey, this is Hollywood, and everything happens every day. There are opportunities and meetings all the time, even if we are ready to cooperate, there is no rush, right?”
"I told him that we can meet and discuss tomorrow, and now I am going home to attend my friends' film review party. How can I miss Anson and James' film review party?"
In the hall, everyone looked at each other——
They still don’t know Brad well.
Ryan also stood up, blinked continuously, and was a little panicked for a moment. Finally, he looked at Anson and sent a help signal with his eyes:
Is there really no problem?
Anson was also stunned. He looked at Brad who walked towards the whiskey immediately and poured the whiskey into the orange juice. He was also a little unsure.
Could it be that the interview didn't go well, but Brad said this because he didn't want them to worry?
In any case, since Brad didn't want to talk, Anson didn't delve into it. After all, the guests were present now, and some topics weren't suitable to start.
"Brad, if you want to support you today and then James will reciprocate and get you a role in the next starring movie, I can only say-
Okay! ”
A pause, a reversal.
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.
Chris stepped forward again and gave Brad a hug to express his comfort.
Then, Anson changed the subject.
“Of course, that is if there is a next one.”
James covered his heart and said, "Ouch."
The laughter became even more joyful again.
Watching Chris and Brad also enter their seats, Anson picked up the laptop again.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the big ones haven’t come out until now, let’s see if they can come up with something new.”
“Oh.”
"Robert Ebert enters."
There is no need for the name "Chicago Sun", a name is enough, and everyone began to slap the table and make a howling sound.
Anson read it carefully and his eyes widened.
“Wait a minute, this is actually a good review!”
Anson glanced around, and Chris couldn’t help but jump up first, while Brad, who had just sat down, couldn’t help but jump up. Stunned, he was almost knocked over by Chris.
"The original story is presented authentically, and the character image will not disappoint the original fans - even Gwen fans will not be exception. The scheduling of the fight scenes is unexpectedly wonderful, coupled with Sam Raimi's personal horror genre The movie is funny, the movie is unexpectedly interesting.”
“And the real surprise comes from——”
Anson’s eyes left the computer screen and looked at everyone in disbelief.
"Anson Wood."
