Chapter 826: Adding fuel to the fire
Difficult.
It is difficult to reach the sky. Even Edgar himself knows that this is a serious challenge -
It can even be said to be a crazy challenge.
Tianshi. Convenient location. People and. Both are indispensable.
It is estimated that it is impossible to achieve it by relying solely on Edgar himself, or relying solely on Anson himself. It still needs an opportunity, and under the combined effect of various forces, there is a 0.1% possibility of achieving it.
People decide what to do, and God decides what to do.
Now, Edgar is starting to plan down-to-earth, and the pressure is all on Anson. It depends on whether Anson can carry the hope.
A grand blueprint is laid out before our eyes.
Anson raised his chin slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Well, that's it. So, is it too late for me to get off the pirate ship now?"
A joke.
Edgar was a little moved.
Anyone who hears Edgar's plan will sneer and say that he is a madman, including the senior executives of the William Morris Agency. Their blueprint is completely different.
If he is an actor, he may not care at all and just urge him to fight for the "20 million club"; or he may think that he is mentally disturbed and look for an opportunity to part ways and find other agents.
After all, this is Hollywood, and agents are everywhere, just like actors.
However, Anson did not.
Behind that ridicule, there was actually a kind of affirmation. There was no questioning or questioning, so he easily agreed with his idea; and Edgar knew that Anson was not the kind of person who "doesn't know how to pretend to understand and respond perfunctorily" "Response", behind the teasing it just shows that Anson understands his plan and is on his side.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Edgar felt a surge of heart.
This once again proved that he did not make a mistake.
"Sorry, it's too late." Edgar spread his hands, full of regret.
Anson pursed his lips, "Okay."
Edgar couldn't hold it back and laughed heartily, "If everything goes well in the negotiation - I believe there will be no problem, then the movie will It should start shooting around May or June, and Sony Columbia is building the scene now."
"Script, yes, script"
"The script has finally been created. I thought that you are currently on the set of 'Nuan Nuan Containing Light' and may not have time to read the script for the time being, so I didn't bring it here."
"If you need it, I can give it to you at any time."
Anson waved his hand, "Let's wait until it's finalized. However, this time the script is so difficult, I'm a little uneasy. If I give you any comments on the script again, do you think Sony Columbia will do it? Did the blood vessel burst on the spot?"
"It's possible." The smile in Edgar's eyes couldn't be concealed.
After Edgar explained, Anson understood the whole story behind it.
"Spider-Man" tells the origin story and restores the original comics as much as possible. Although it is not a copy, the framework is not much different from the original comics. At that time, the two screenwriters collaborated to complete the script and the progress was very smooth.
"Spider-Man 2", from here on, Peter Parker is no longer the Peter Parker in the original comics, but the Peter Parker of Sam Raimi and Anson Wood, character traits and development context It must be different.
Although the background of the story is still derived from the original comic, the plot needs to be started from scratch, and Sam Raimi began to join in the creation.
Sam did not hit the typewriter to create the script himself, but sat down with the screenwriter to brainstorm, determine the story to be told in the sequel film, and establish Peter Parker's character arc in this work.
Obviously, this is not easy. Sony Columbia employs two groups of screenwriters. One group is responsible for writing the story, which is the plot summary; the other group is responsible for filling in the flesh and blood of the script, mainly scenes and dialogue.
However, Sam was always dissatisfied with the plot outline, so that the screenwriters responsible for writing scenes and dialogue were unable to start writing work——
So, Edgar begged several times, I couldn't get the script either.
Although Sam and the screenwriting team have been working for more than three months, they still can't see a piece of paper from the script. This is the reason behind it.
Back and forth, Sony Columbia replaced four groups of six screenwriters in total. Different inspirations and different ideas were put together to determine the framework.
After going around and around until now, they finally saw the substantive script-
The second version they got was the second version. The screenwriter responsible for writing the scenes and dialogues only took three weeks to complete the work; but in Before this, the crew had revised at least fourteen versions, and the story framework was still unsatisfactory.
Imagine, if Anson continues to make suggestions on the script, it is estimated that the entire screenwriting team is not far away from collapse.
But Anson is serious.
Judging from past experience, "Spider-Man 2" has the highest ratings and reputation in the series, but unfortunately its box office performance failed to surpass its predecessor.
Of course, there are many reasons and cannot be simply attributed to one thing.
In Anson's personal opinion, one of the reasons is that the overall quality did not meet expectations. It is not bad, but the expectations have risen to a new level. At the same time, the cumbersomeness of the script and the thinness of the characters also lack some power, which directly leads to The result is that Sam is held back in terms of narrative rhythm.
This is also a very troublesome part of large-scale Hollywood film projects. Because of the intertwined interests and the hasty production cycle, producers often make adjustments based on interests, so that the scripts pass through the hands of different screenwriters.
As a result, the screenwriter gradually lost his personal style and moved more and more towards the assembly line model.
Secondly, the piecing together of different details and plots can easily create a sense of cumbersomeness.
This situation has appeared not only in "Spider-Man 2" but also in countless sequel movies. This is one of the reasons why the quality of sequel movies is difficult to guarantee.
Of course, among these sequel disasters, "Spider-Man 2" has been outstanding. Later, this movie was recognized by many enthusiastic fans as a monument to superhero movies, influencing countless subsequent superheroes. Movie.
Perhaps, after the precipitation and test of time, this movie will eventually shine; but when the movie was released, it did not meet expectations.
Some local adjustments and changes may be able to make the movie lighter again.
Now, Anson has the opportunity to change history, and he can’t help but become curious——
Can he turn the situation around?
In other words, he added fuel to the fire and continued to add chaos, making the already cumbersome script even more confusing, and finally completely changed the classic into a bad movie.
Of course, Anson cannot deny this possibility.
Nevertheless, he is still curious, which is why he always hopes to read the script in advance, wanting to see with his own eyes whether he can change and whether he should give opinions.
But I didn’t expect that I have been waiting until now——
"I'm serious. If I make suggestions, will they be willing to modify it?"
Edgar did not hide his surprise and looked at Anson slightly stunned.
Anson has always remained sober. Even during the "Butterfly Effect", Anson did not interfere too much in the script creation of the two screenwriters. He avoided gesticulating as much as possible and always adhered to his duties as an actor.
But if you think about it carefully, Anson has asked for the script of "Spider-Man 2" more than once, and now he went one step further and expressed his true thoughts.
Edgar, "Are you serious?"
