Tobey Maguire, who had been kept in the dark, was suddenly told that he had been abandoned by both the investor and the crew, and the shock can be imagined. He impatiently called director Sam Raimi, but the other party's mobile phone never answered. Tobey Maguire rushed to the crew in a hurry, and he was also unable to meet Sam Raimi himself, only the director's assistant received him.

He told Tobey Maguire that this time Sam Raimi made a "crazy" decision to make a big change from the script to the cast.

"Mr. Remy asked me to tell you that the crew can't wait until you and the investor have come to an agreement over the pay. The producer is very determined to change the actors, and he can't do anything about it. And considering that the new plot will involve a lot of action scenes, and you suffer from a slow spinal disease, he thinks that you are no longer suitable to continue as the main character, so I'm sorry! ”

There was no hope of winning from the director, and Tobey Maguire's agent, Kevin, suffered a similar setback at Sony Pictures. Although he accepted Sony's previous $15 million salary offer without any strings attached. But the president of the other party told him very clearly that without Spider-Man, the current Tobey Maguire is not even worth 10 million.

Tobey Maguire was "abandoned" and Lin Mingyang became the new Spider-Man actor, this change of drama surname not only made the media dumbfounded, but also made Lin Mingyang's fans rejoice. And people who like the original Spider-Man are a little disappointed, but after all, they like the character of Spider-Man, not Tobey Maguire. The success of a movie has not yet fully connected Tobey Maguire and Spider-Man, so when director Sam Raimi stated in front of the media that he was not going to make a sequel to the previous movie, but was going to make a new Spider-Man, everyone's attention was mobilized again.

The new script that Lin Mingyang wrote for the sequel before is actually a modified version of the plot of the future "Spider-Man 3", compared to the original script of Doctor Octopus, the new drama arranges three strong opponents for Spider-Man, Green Goblin, Sandman and Venom.

The sandman's superpower is extremely powerful, not only can he turn into quicksand and change his appearance at will, but he can also sand his body and defuse the opponent's attack. The Green Goblin is a good friend of Spider-Man, who discovers the Green Goblin equipment left behind by his father, and then transforms into the "New Green Goblin" who has a green flying board and countless magical weapons on his body.

Venom is a black spider suit attached to an alien evil creature, and after discovering that it can't control Spider-Man, it chooses a new host and becomes another enemy of Spider-Man.

In addition to stronger opponents, in Lin Mingyang's script setting, the protagonist Spider-Man is no longer the shy and silent child who is just beginning to fall in love, he splits his legs, falls out of love, and even "splits his personality", and almost strangles his happiness with his own hands.

Probably tired of being ridiculed as a "kid's stuff" all the time, Sam Raimi fell in love with the story at first sight of the script, probably in his eyes, Spider-Man can't always be just a superhero in the minds of children, he will always mature, and while taking on more responsibilities, he will also face more trouble.

The fly in the ointment is that when Lin Mingyang conceived this new script, he was from the perspective of a sequel, but director Sam Raimi didn't want to make a sequel, so he asked Lin Mingyang to revise the script again.

In this way, the story must return to the original point, and according to the director's "mature" audience positioning, Lin Mingyang put the story of the new Spider-Man on a college campus. The protagonist Peter, who lives with his uncle and aunt in Queens, New York, is a top student in the biology department of a university, but like many children from broken families, although Peter is a rare genius in the eyes of his mentors, he has poor social skills, and is often ridiculed by some classmates for this.

Peter's only friend at school, Harry, whose father was a scientist and owned a high-tech company, had the same background. However, in an unexpected experimental accident, his father unfortunately died, leaving behind an objective legacy. Harry, who has lacked family discipline since childhood, has a completely different surname from Peter, he is handsome, drives a luxury sports car in and out of the campus, is in a relationship with Mary, the school girl recognized by everyone, and is a master in the school's social circle.

At Harry's instigation, Peter also launched a love offensive against different girls, but in the end they all failed, and he became even more inferior. There is another secret in Peter's heart, in fact, his real dream girl is a Hollywood actress named Wenger, and young people are very obsessed with her, so from the beginning, it was just Peter's unrequited love.

In a biological experiment, Peter was accidentally bitten by an unknown xenospider, his hand immediately swollen and then his body showed symptoms of poisoning, dizziness and weakness, Peter wanted to call Harry for help, but Harry, who was busy picking up girls, hung up his phone. Reluctantly putting down the phone, Peter suddenly realized that he didn't even have the strength to crawl, and he struggled to pass out in the laboratory with a shiver, and then he didn't know anything.

After a night of high fever, Peter wakes up the next day to find that he has been magically given the sixth sense of a spider to sense danger. In the past, when he walked, because he was accustomed to thinking about problems, he would often be hit on the head by various balls flying everywhere on campus, and even hit the wall when he walked. This hasn't happened since being bitten by that mysterious spider. He was always able to avoid all kinds of dangers in advance, and those classmates who liked to play tricks on him also repeatedly missed, no matter how he changed his methods, Peter was like a long eye in the back of his head, and he was always able to save the day at a critical moment.

At the same time, Peter also felt the changes in his body, he became sharp, swift, and his body exuded infinite strength, and his hands could radiate strong spider silk to support his flight in the air. And it also has a keen extrasensory "spider sense". He no longer needed to wear glasses, and his eyesight miraculously returned to its best.

After slowly becoming familiar with his superpowers, Peter used experimental materials to design a polymer biological combat suit for himself. The mysterious Spider-Man begins to appear on the streets of New York, assisting the police in the fight against all kinds of crimes. In a traffic accident that Peter successfully prevented, he meets Wenger, the love of his dreams, and then Peter helps Wenger solve a series of troubles as Spider-Man, Wenger finds himself unwittingly in love with this heroic hero.

Just when the relationship between the two was heating up, an accident happened, Peter's uncle was stabbed in the heart by the other party in a fight with the burglars, and then Peter, who arrived as Spider-Man, although he successfully subdued the murderer, but was unable to save his uncle's life. This incident hit him hard, and he even doubted his ability for a while.

And the "Sandman", who was imprisoned for accidentally killing Peter's uncle, escaped from prison for his seriously ill daughter, and accidentally entered the Quantum Experimental Factory when he was chased by the police. The experiment of particle separation changed all of his body tissue, and merged with the fine sand in the environment. It gave him the ability to shapeshift and his unparalleled strength.

The Sandman robbed a cash cart to treat his daughter, and Peter happened to pass by. The two had a fight. The Sandman escaped, and Peter, who was transformed into Spider-Man, saved only two security guards in the car.

Peter was deeply frustrated by the Sandman's powerful abilities, and just as he was feeling down, a mysterious black xenomorph followed the meteorite to Earth, landed in the courtyard of his aunt's house, and attached to the spider suit during Peter's nightmare. The new Spider Suit not only greatly increased Peter's abilities, but also changed his surname. Peter becomes extremely violent and agitated, and even the possessed spider suit turns all black, with changes in some details. In the subway tunnel, Black Spider-Man defeated the Sandman with an absolute advantage with the help of revenge and amazing strength. In the end, the sandman was swept away by the sewers, but he survived.

Peter's surname, whose mind is under the control of evil forces, changes dramatically and turns into darkness. And Harry's school girl Mary announced her breakup with him after discovering that her boyfriend was secretly dating other girls behind her back. This originally had nothing to do with Peter, but Peter, whose brain was gradually controlled by the poisonous spider suit, actually had a flowery intestine. Although there is already a big beauty like Wenger around him, he has a crush on Mary again, and takes advantage of the breakup between Harry and his girlfriend to snatch love and have an ambiguous relationship with Mary.

After suffering a double betrayal of friendship and love, Harry, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, inadvertently discovers his father's true identity. A large number of improved Green Goblin weapons were discovered in the secret laboratory. Filled with revenge and anger, he used "chlorine" gas to edify himself day and night, and incarnated as a green goblin to take revenge on society.

Peter's incarnated Black Spider-Man and Harry's Green Goblin met unexpectedly, the two flew between the buildings, and the fight was inseparable, the Green Goblin fell from dozens of meters in the air, and Peter won the first encounter. The unwilling Harry modified the equipment left by his father again, but the Black Spider-Man, who was possessed by the alien, was particularly powerful, and the Green Goblin, who challenged again, not only failed miserably, but also disfigured half of his face.

Another unlucky guy is Wenger's agent Johnny, who was exposed by Peter for deliberately creating scandals and lost Wenger's trust, and he has always liked Wenger, and he found that his lover has been thrown into the arms of Spider-Man. He goes to church and prays to God to help him kill Spider-Man. Unexpectedly, Spider-Man is fighting "himself" on the top floor of the church, and Peter, who still has his mind, is determined to get rid of the black cloak that controls his mind. The church bells just happened to cause the black cloak to fall off uncontrollably, but unfortunately it fell on the down-and-out agent. He became the new host, Venom.

Venom and Sandman kidnap Spider-Man's girlfriend Arsene Wenger and defeat Peter by a sheer margin. In Spider-Man's dying state, the Green Goblin, who has awakened his conscience, unexpectedly sides with Spider-Man, so he starts a four-man battle.

In the end, Spider-Man grasps the Xenomorph's weakness and traps it in a steel pipe, destroying it with the ultimate blasting ball. However, the Green Goblin blocked the Venom puncture in order to cover Spider-Man, and he finally shook hands with Spider-Man before he died, and he is no longer the newborn Boss, but still Peter's best friend Harry. In the end, the sandman also found out in his conscience and gave up the fight, and he explained to Spider-Man the reason for his misguided journey, and was finally forgiven.

Wenger eventually learns Spider-Man's true identity, and she does not give up the love between the two because of Peter's true identity. When Peter sent Arsene Wenger home and he went back to school, he was surprised to learn that Mary was pregnant.

"The baby in Mary's womb, left by Harry?" Sam Raimi showed great interest in Lin Mingyang's newly revised script after reading his ending, and he knew that Lin Mingyang was laying the groundwork for a sequel to the film.

Lin Mingyang shrugged helplessly, "This is the only request made by the producers for the revision of the new script, and they need to leave a suspense for the sequel at the end of the film." ”

His reasoning seems reasonable, but Sam Raimi is not such an easily bluffed person: "I feel that your ending is more like the plot needs to be deliberately stayed, have you already conceived the following plot?" ”

"You can see it!" Lin Mingyang had to admire the other party's keen observation.

"Don't say it yet, let me guess!" Sam Raimi, who was curious, did not directly ask Lin Mingyang about the plot behind: "Judging from the plot you have written so far, the first thing that remains suspenseful is the ambiguous relationship between the protagonist Peter and Mary. ”

Lin Mingyang nodded, "This will be a more important clue in the sequel." ”

"Then there is the child in Mary's womb, will Peter give up his relationship with Arsene Wenger because of his guilt for Harry, marry Mary, and then become the father of this child?"

"In my conception, Peter's guilt towards his friend Harry will show itself in another form, after he and Wenger get married, he will still take on the responsibility of taking care of Mary and the children, and protect them as Spider-Man, but this will put his marriage with Wenger in crisis, and the conflict in the sequel will revolve around friendship, responsibility and marriage."

"Sounds like a very good idea!" Sam Raimi nodded in satisfaction, "What about the villain's **oss?" ”

"Can I leave a suspense?" Lin Mingyang didn't want to tell all the plots now.

"Of course!" Sam Raimi's curiosity has been satisfied, he is not the kind of guy who is ambitious, and no matter how well Lin Mingyang's sequel is conceived, it will not become a reality until the film is made now.
