Chapter 125: Rite of Passage
Even Warner's New Line Pictures has begun to discuss internally the possibility of launching "Blade 3".
As a standard B-grade film, the "Blade" series has launched two movies in the hands of Xinxian, and the medium cost of the film of more than 50 million can always be exchanged for a global box office of more than 100 million.
Although it is far from a big hit, it is also a series of movies with a small profit.
Seeing that "Spider-Man" is so popular, the new line can't hold back and wants to jump in and get a piece of the pie.
However, how can this cup of manga movie be so easy to grab?
Sid sat in the SUV car and smiled softly and thought that because of the success of "Spider-Man", he had asked producer Kevin Feige and Fire Lion Pictures CEO Jon Philheimer to contact the original director Sam Raimi to succeed the director of "Spider-Man 2".
At the same time, after he left an outline for the script, he handed it over to Kevin Feige to find a good screenwriter to improve the script.
The name Sam Raimi is really an unfamiliar and excessive name for today's Hollywood, and the most famous film he directed was the early 80s neodymium "Ghost Play".
The film's slightly rough style is due to the limited budget, but the special effects are not creative enough, and it is also in this film that Sam Raimi uses various shots of the sword to go off the rails - the female character is entangled by tree vines, which tear her clothes, wrap her fierce breasts, and separate her double fade.
The special effects of "Ghost Player" are very rough from both Sid and 02 eyes, but the mirrors and unique creativity of the sword make them rough and energetic - we play with such a feeling!
In addition, the unbridled violence and gore of the movie can also show that Sam Raimi is indeed playing high.
Severed limbs, brains, corpses, everything.
It can be said that after this film, the plasma used up is definitely not less than that of Quentin.
Outside of the "Evil Dead" series, Sam Raimi can only be regarded as obscure, but after watching his "Evil Dead", Sid is also keenly aware that his fast and exaggerated camera movement is indeed in a class of its own, and it can be seen that his films have the witty and comic-like rhythm of early Hollywood comedies, full of black humor.
This is an indispensable element of personalization for creating a comic movie.
Plus, he's still an unscrupulous Marvel Comics die-hard fan, so there's no need to worry about him not accepting the invitation.
"Boss, we're here. Reem, the bodyguard captain in the front seat of the SUV, said back.
"Oh, is there yet?" Sid retracted his thoughts, turning his head to look out the window.
Outside the window is the entrance of a villa, because parking is limited, so most of the visitors get off the car and drive straight in.
But because Sid's bodyguards are also going to enter the venue, they do have a special parking space, but if they want to drive in, they have to wait for the car in front of them to drive away.
Wait until the Land Rover's SUV is parked before Sid and the others get out of the car.
"Hey, Mr. Leon, you're finally here. One of Lindsay's agents seemed to be guarding the door, and when he saw Sid getting out of the car, he immediately greeted him.
"Oh, Rad, you're waiting for us here?" Sid asked amusedly.
"Well, it's Lindsay's birthday party, and I'm fine, just wait here. Agent Ladd laughed.
"Oh, that's really bothering you. Sid smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"No trouble, no trouble. The other party said again and again.
"What about Lindsay?" asked Sid.
"Inside, it's supposed to be with her friends. Rad said, and then he asked eagerly, "Do you need me to take you in?" ”
"Oh, no need, Ladd. Sid shook his head, and then, with the other party's disappointed eyes, walked into the villa where the party was held.
Today is Lindsay's 16th birthday party, which was originally on July 2nd, but was previously unable to do so due to the Washington Post's accident and some post-production work on "The Departed".
So Xiao Nizi simply postponed the birthday party for a week, but Sid said that he didn't necessarily have to attend the birthday party, because he didn't want to steal the limelight, but Xiao Nizi asked Sid to be there in person.
So Sid still came, and although Sid was wearing an ordinary baseball shirt, he still attracted the attention of many people as soon as he walked into the villa.
Also because today is Lindsay's 16th birthday party, unlike the previous "Mean Girls" finale party, most of the people on the scene are sixteen or seventeen-year-olds, including Lindsay's classmates in high school and her friends in Hollywood.
Because it's summer vacation, there are a lot of people present, and Xiao Nizi has successfully entered high school after graduating from high school last year.
In such an important matter, Sid and Lindsay herself never counted on her pit daughter's parents, so from beginning to end, it was Sid, as the guardian's agent, who stepped in to handle it.
"Lindsay, Mr. Sid is here. Amanda, the blonde beauty next to Lindsay, saw Sid coming in with sharp eyes, and hurriedly reminded Lindsay, who was busy entertaining visitors.
"Ah, Brother Sid is here!" Lindsay turned his head and saw Sid, and immediately came down from the second floor excitedly, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Don't look at Xiao Nizi who is well-behaved in front of Sid and sensible on the set, but in front of these artists of the same age who are not simple, there is never a lack of means of grace and power.
So the young men got out of the way, and Lindsay rushed towards Sid like a gust of wind, "Brother Sid!"
"Oh, happy birthday, Lindsay. Sid smiled and hugged the little girl who rushed into his arms.
"By the way, are your mom and dad here?" asked Sid and Lindsey as they looked around after hugging.
"They're there, but I don't know where they are now. Lindsey said.
"It's good to be here. Sid nodded, if he didn't even show up for his daughter's sixteenth birthday, then Sid would have to think about how to deal with the cheating parents.
"Come, I'll introduce you to my classmates and friends. Lindsey couldn't wait to take Sid's hand and walk to the second floor where her classmates and friends were.
For her classmates at Lindsay, Sid was a celebrity who never saw the dragon, but for her friends in Hollywood, today's opportunity was even more rare.
After all, compared to the "Mean Girl" finale party, which is more occasions for behind-the-scenes managers, it is actually difficult for young artists like them to have access to real big shots, and this time, being able to directly contact Sid is simply a dream opportunity.
