Chapter 164: The Spider-Man Trilogy

"Uh...... Can I say that because the forty-two pages you gave me were so far different from what I had in mind, I still haven't started writing? Roland rubbed his hands, and the passionate truck driver looked a little flustered at him.

Who in the circle doesn't know about him going on vacation?

And in the case of discarding the project and playing wantonly, he really seems to be a little disrespectful?

However, Roland's embarrassment not only did not attract a scolding, but made the truck driver happy, sitting on the sofa, he grabbed the handbag next to him, stabbed it, the bag opened, and a thick stack of documents appeared in front of Roland.

"Didn't write it? That's great! The trucker split the marked documents in two and threw one of them to Roland, "Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to fight Dr. Lizard in Part 1?" After I checked the information, I thought it was no problem! ”

"In the first part, I will fight Dr. Lizard and Green Goblin, two villains, and there is no conflict at all!"

β€œStop!” Seeing that the truck driver was talking endlessly, Roland, who was already stunned, hurriedly raised his hand and interrupted the other party, "You said that Dr. Lizard and the Green Goblin will be the first part?" ”

"Are you in the wrong order? Is this better than Superman and Batman? ”

How can a superhero origin movie have two villains at the beginning?

In doing so, won't the power system be directly chaotic?

DC movies are difficult to make, but Superman is not easy to cut down!

And now, Spider-Man can beat Dr. Lizard and the Green Goblin in the first part, so in the second part, don't you have to fight four villains to make people look good, and in the third part, don't you have to be like Master Ip Man, shouting 'I'm going to fight ten'?

How can this work!

Even if there are many villains in Spider-Man, they can't stand such a blind toss from a truck driver!

Seeing Roland's expression of resistance, the truck driver immediately knew that this guy had misunderstood what he meant, and pressed his left hand in the air a few times, signaling this guy to calm down, and then asked, "Do you know the origin of Dr. Lizard in the comics?" ”

"Of course! Vietnam War medics! Roland blurted out.

This setting has been read when he wants to take over Spider-Man in 91, how can he not know?

"Ok, then you know I wrote the script for Michael (Stallone) for First Blood 2, right?"

The truck driver waved his left hand and said: "I don't know if you have watched "First Blood", Michael's Vietnam War veteran Rambo played in the movie was discriminated against, which was the social status quo at that time, because this war was recognized as meaningless, and defeat was even more shameful, and Dr. Lizard, who was created in this context, his mind was deformed. ”

"Dr. Lizard is a Vietnam War medic who lost his right hand during the attack on the base, and when he returned home, he began to study the regeneration of severed limbs, and he used the potion directly on himself without human testing, and then the potion amplified his evil thoughts, he wanted to control the reptile to dominate the land - in the comics, he is a tragic character, Peter Parker did not kill him, but changed him back, but that was only temporary, whenever he went crazy, he would change back, Do you know why Stan Lee didn't just kill him like he did with other villains? Because of his existence, it is a satire on that period of history at that time. ”

All right......

Roland has no fuck to say.

He really didn't know about it.

As the truck driver told him seriously, he also saw that this guy was not joking about the double villain.

It's a serious commercial film.

"Ok, you go ahead." Roland leaned back, and Ben's gaze, resting on the trucker's face, fell on the papers in his hand.

The appearance of giving up resistance and listening carefully made the truck driver smile, and he also leaned back, his feet naturally rested on the coffee table, and the whole person was in a very comfortable contraction posture, "Roland, let me tell you, my newly revised script is actually very simple, and Peter Parker's background setting follows the comics." ”

"We don't need to make a fuss about his parents, he is just an ordinary high school student living in New York, living with his uncle and aunt, these two guys have a lot of influence on him, he is in high school, he has excellent grades, but he is shy and introverted, he is obsessed with science, and he is called a nerd by his classmates - this is where common school bullying is exemplified."

And his favorite classmate, Gwen Stacy, is a very righteous girl, taught by the father of the New York City Police Commissioner, every time Peter Parker is bullied, she will stand up and stop it - here you can use a long shot to portray Spider-Man having a crush on her, but introverted and afraid to confess."

At the same time, Harry Osborne is also Peter's classmate, after often witnessing his friends being bullied by his classmates, he wants to let the classmates see Peter's highlights, or rather, he wants them to see Peter's awesomeness, so Peter realizes his excellence, so he organizes a class outing, to visit his own company, the Osborne Group.

"At that time, the Osborne Group was cooperating with the military to develop human enhancement drugs, and the Dr. Lizard, who had been studying the rebirth of severed limbs, was the chief scientist they recruited, and when visiting the Osborne Group, Peter Parker, who found his own highlights, was qualified to observe up close, and at this time, he was bitten by the spider that the company researched and became Spider-Man."

"Of course, no one else found out but him."

After that, Spider-Man, who got superpowers, changed, he was originally introverted and cheerful because of his ability, and he began to think about what he could do with his ability, and finally found that fighting underground boxing matches could not only vent his dissatisfaction over the years, but also make money, so he went crazy to participate, and bought good things with the prize money he got to pursue Gwen, and also bought some gifts for his uncle and aunt, hoping that they could be happy, his change not only made Gwen agree to his pursuit, But the large amount of money aroused Ben's suspicions, hoping that Peter would be able to confess the source of the money, but Peter did not know how to answer, so he quarreled with the other party in his excitement and rushed out of the door. ”

"Next, it was Peter who participated in a boxing match, only to be cheated by the boss who couldn't see him, and there was a robbery at that time, and he let the robber go, and then indirectly killed Ben, who came out of guilt to find him."

"The death of his uncle had a great impact on Peter, and since then he has been punishing evil and promoting good, and has become the Spider-Man who is always late, and was identified by Gwen's father as the most unstable factor in New York, no, with his appearance, Osborne Technology, which has been developing human enhancement potions but stagnating, discovered him, and not only that, but the military, which has been waiting for the results of the research, also believes that Spider-Man is the latest achievement of Osborne Technology."

"So they asked Osborne Technology to come up with the potion quickly, and Norman Osborne was also urging Dr. Lizard to limit him to research the results quickly, otherwise the research team would be cut directly, the funding would be cut off, and he would turn around and go to Spider-Man to cooperate."

"Who is Dr. Lizard? The military doctors of the Vietnam War were already deeply discriminated against. Under the persecution of Norman Osborne, he didn't want to give up, he worked overtime to research, and finally found that the genetic medicine of the lizard can make the rabbit reborn with a severed limb, because of the lack of time, Osborne pressed too hard, so he forcibly used it on his body and became Dr. Lizard. ”

"Because the potion continues to amplify the dissatisfaction in his heart, he feels that he has become like this, it is a social problem, if there is no discrimination, he will be very mentally healthy, if Norman Osborne does not push too hard, he will have more time to experiment, if Spider-Man does not suddenly appear, he will have more time, so he wants revenge, he wants to make the world pay."

"He's going to destroy New York, Spider-Man is going to stop him, and in the process, Gwen's father, the police chief of New York City, is also involved, and after a few three-way confrontations, things get bigger and bigger, and Norman Osborne also receives an ultimatum from the military, if they can't get the experiment and hand over the potion, the Osborne group can shut down."

"I think Norman Osborne is a businessman, he is not a good person, but he is not a bad person, and in the case of bankruptcy liquidation, and even the possibility of going to court to face life imprisonment, Norman Osborne personally checked the experimental data left by Dr. Lizard in the group, and found that his mutation can be reversed, so he worked overtime to make an unknown state of medicine, and personally drilled into the weapon arsenal, took out the weapon set that the group had researched before, and became a green goblin who wanted to save himself, Not only does he want to help Spider-Man get rid of Dr. Lizard and restore peace to the chaos of New York, but he also wants to get Spider-Man's blood for the final sprint research. ”

"With his appearance, the situation is more complicated, although the final battle is Spider-Man fighting Dr. Lizard, but there are also Green Goblins and Gwen's father on the field, in the melee, Green Goblin's weapons and equipment suddenly failed due to energy problems, causing Dr. Lizard to sweep him into a serious injury with a tail, and when Spider-Man saved the other party, Gwen's father was also swept by Dr. Lizard, in the case of his girlfriend's father dying and his friend's father being seriously injured, Spider-Man took the potion given by the Green Goblin to help Dr. Lizard recover his 'original state'."

When Gwyn's father was dying, Peter took off his hood, and Gwen's father, who learned of his identity, hoped that Spider-Man would protect the city, and Peter agreed, and at the same time, he also wanted Peter to leave his daughter, which silenced Peter. When putting the hood back on and sending the badly injured Green Goblin back, Norman Osborne hopes that Spider-Man can give him a portion of the blood, but Spider-Man refuses to say that 'genetic changes without experimentation are unsafe' and that he doesn't want his good friend father to become the next Dr. Lizard. ”

"Of course, if you don't think this is profound, then we can also after Gwen agreed to have a relationship with Parker, Parker excitedly told Harry the news, and Harry became in a good mood because of this, under his father's questioning, Harry told the truth, and then Norman asked the other party to invite Parker Gwen to come to the house for dinner - anyway, these plots that show that the Osborne family has a good relationship with Parker can be interspersed in the main plot, and the three or five minutes of footage are not in the way."

"And after returning to the group, looking at the empty office, listening to the assistant's report, when the military people are about to arrive, the Green Goblin is not willing to destroy his group, so he injected the Dr. Lizard serum he found earlier and the spider serum he studied before into his body, becoming a real Green Goblin, a madman."

"He hates Spider-Man, and he thinks it's all Spider-Man."

"If it weren't for Spider-Man, then the outside world wouldn't know about it, and if the outside world didn't know, then he wouldn't be under pressure to accelerate research and development and hand over the potion, and if it weren't for the pressure, Dr. Lizard wouldn't have appeared, and he ......"

"It's not going to be what it is now."

"At the end of the movie, it's Gwen's father's funeral."

"What do you think of the first part?"

Hold the grass!

It's perfect!

Although the truck driver is rambling and passionless, and the most exciting combat parts of the commercial film are all mentioned in one sentence, the whole story is very complete, because this is not only the growth history of Peter Parker, but also the growth history of the Green Goblin!

The villains in superhero movies will always be very thin.

They are just bad for the sake of evil, and the meaning of existence is as if they are killing people and then letting superheroes save the world.

Of course, there is no problem with this setting, because as long as there is decency, there will always be villains, and if there is no villain, how can the value of decency be reflected? Without green leaves, where does the red flower come from?

But the thinner the villain, the looser the whole story, and although it's all a commercial film, you can't pop popcorn for the sake of popcorn, right? After watching it, the audience can't remember a character except for the OK picture, isn't that just for nothing?

And adding a complete storyline to the characters is obviously the best way to make the audience remember them.

Under the tampering of the truck driver, although there are many discrepancies with the original comics, Dr. Lizard's hatred of destroying the world, the Green Goblin's jealousy of Spider-Man, and the growth of Spider-Man himself are clearly portrayed, rather than the simple story that he is the villain and he is bad, so the protagonist wants to beat him.

Not only that, the Vietnam War veterans' psychological deformity that film critics like to see the most, entrepreneurs finally leaning towards the former and ignoring the people among the two choices of money and the world, and a series of social problems such as the consequences of the rapid development of science and technology are also involved.

Although the truck driver is not literate, these things are all brushed aside, but this is actually to find something to do for the guys who like to study blindly, and they will not be sprayed by them, this is a Boom, Boom, Boom popcorn movie.

As for Spider-Man's growth, it also changes in the events of Harry's invitation, Gwen's tolerance, the change in the company, the death of his uncle, the evil of Dr. Lizard, and his father who cares about his friends.

From the small willfulness of arguing with his uncle at the beginning, to the thoughtful care of the Green Goblin in the end; From the introversion at the beginning, to the pursuit of ability later, to the responsibility that Gwen understood when his father died......

All of this is a valuable experience in the growth of the little spider.

An introverted high school student will only know how to be a hero if he or she has experienced something.

And this is also where Spider-Man is different from all superheroes.

He did not gain power for revenge, but after gaining power, he learned to help those in need.

That's the superhero next door.

"What about the second part? Don't you tell me you're going to shoot a film and run? ”

Just from the story line of the first part, it can be seen that the second part must be the madman of the Green Goblin.

If the truck driver doesn't do it, then the plot will be over, because the devil knows what kind of plot he is going to make!

And after hearing the name Gwen, Roland had a strong premonition.

"You don't want Gwen to die like in the comics, do you?"

In the face of Roland's inquiry, the old man smiled mysteriously, coughed, cleared his throat, found the story outline of the second part, and continued: "The first part takes place in the ninth grade, and the second part takes place in the first year of college. ”

"In other words, even if the first part does well at the box office, the second part will be filmed when you are eighteen or nineteen years old."

"As for why it's arranged this way - there's another project on Fox waiting for me to shoot."

"Oh......" Hearing what the other party said, Roland immediately understood.

Not only did he understand, but he also felt good about himself, "You mean, the male protagonist of the next play is also me?" ”

"Wow, what's that project?"

β€œhei! I think you're a shameless guy, huh? The truck driver threw a surprised look at the curious Roland, "Other A+lists are waiting for projects at home, but why do you keep robbing other people's projects?" ”

"Why are you talking so badly?" Roland was upset, "Is this called robbery?" ”

"I'm obviously optimistic about you!"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The truck driver who had just unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle and grunted into his mouth almost choked Roland to death.

While coughing, he also glanced at the guy next to him, and after seeing Roland cheekily looking at him with sworn eyes, he wiped his mouth and said, "Let's not talk about that first, you listen to me finish the script of the second part first." ”

"Maybe you won't want to make my movie after listening to it?"

"At the beginning of the film, I graduated from high school and went to college."

"Peter has been with Gwen since the beginning, and Harry is there at the same time."

"If you want to shoot, I plan to use a narrative montage to explain the process of the two falling in love in the past four years, turning pages and photos, the time is not long, half a minute is enough, and the main show is the cheerful character of the little spider."

"From introverted to cheerful, there's always a process, right? After that, there is the screen of the enrollment registration, and during the registration process, a girl named Mary Jane greets them. ”

Wait a minute!

Roland, who wanted to listen patiently as before, raised his eyebrows.

"Wait a minute!"

"You say Peter and Gwen have been in love for four years?"

"That's right!"

"And then you said that Mary Jane came out at the beginning of the second part, and they were still college classmates?"

"Yes! Any questions? "The truck driver was a little puzzled.

This special code problem is a big deal, okay?

In the comics, Gwen is indeed the girlfriend of the little spider, and Mary Jane is indeed the wife of the little spider.

Although Gwen and Mary-Jane knew each other in the comics in an unknown number of issues, but-

What the hell is putting both of them in a movie at the same time?

Aren't you too many elements of this special code?

"I said that the second part should add love elements, but that doesn't mean a love triangle......"

"If you want to film a love triangle, aren't you hurting me?"

"Little Spider does have a lot of girlfriends, but he doesn't mess around!"

"It's all a normal relationship!"

Seeing that Roland was a little impatient, the truck driver suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Who's going to mess around?"

"Can't you listen to me?"

"The second part starts with college admission, and then they meet Mary Jane, and soon the four of them play together, Gwen and Mary Jane become friends, and Harry likes Mary Jane, and as for Peter, in the process of going to school, he is still a superhero, he follows his uncle's teachings, Gwen's father's instructions, and fights crime in New York City."

"As he becomes more and more famous, the role of "Clarion Daily" can also be arranged, as the number one black fan of Spider-Man, they report on Spider-Man's black material every day, which makes Peter very dissatisfied.

"At the same time, there's an update on Osborne's side, do you remember what I said earlier? Norman Osborne, while fighting Dr. Lizard, has a power problem that causes his equipment to malfunction. ”

"So at the beginning of the second part, it was Norman Osborne and Otto Octavis, that is, Doctor Octopus, a nuclear physicist who came up with new energy, and I didn't draw a storyboard now, if you had to let me describe it, it was an Ark reactor similar to Iron Man, you know? But the relatively large, relatively large garbage can only be used on the aircraft. ”

"And when portraying Doctor Octopus, I'm still going to copy half of the comic book setting."

"Doctor Octopus in the comics first invented the mechanical tentacles of limbs, so in the movie, we can write him as the first mechanical tentacles, and then be favored by the Green Goblin, and while inviting him to improve the energy, the Green Goblin also figured out Doctor Octopus's weaknesses, if the digital chip on his neck is lost, he will be interfered with by the precision programming tentacles, so after the energy improvement is successful, the Green Goblin will smash the chip, brainwash the other party with the designed instrument, and make Doctor Octopus his accomplice."

"It's different from the two villains in the first part, but in fact, one fights."

"The second part is to really fight Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin."

"After explaining the lost four years, about half an hour or so, Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin began to do something, the Green Goblin wanted revenge, wanted to force out Spider-Man, and Peter, who obeyed his uncle and Gwen's father, began to run for his life."

"In the process, Peter, who knows the identity of the Green Goblin, doesn't know what happened to the other party, because Norman Osborne was helping him in the battle four years ago, and he also doesn't know where Doctor Octopus came from."

"He wants to figure it out, but that means he's going to spend a lot of time on it."

"So every time he goes on a date with Gwen, every time the four of them go out, he's always late."

"It doesn't matter once or twice, after more, Gwen won't be satisfied."

"The two had an argument and mentioned Spider-Man, Gwen expressed her dissatisfaction with Spider-Man in front of Peter, she felt that her father died because of Spider-Man, Peter retorted, and finally ended in a big fight."

"Gwen felt aggrieved and confided in Mary-Jane, while Peter was depressed, but because he still had to investigate the Green Goblin, he found Harry, who was discovered by the Green Goblin due to the injury he had sustained during the previous battle with Doctor Octopus."

"Thinking about it again, when he was seriously injured and half-conscious four years ago, the New York Police Commissioner next to him who died in battle was Gwen's father, the Green Goblin couldn't bear it anymore, and together with Doctor Octopus, he kidnapped Gwen and forced Peter Parker out."

"The little spider couldn't beat Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin, and when the two of them joined forces, Peter couldn't beat him, and when the two of them beat Peter up, the Green Goblin threw Gwen off the George Washington Bridge in front of Peter, and the little spider at this time was desperate, even more desperate than in the comics."

"Because the little spider in the comics caught Gwen, he felt that he killed the other party, but I didn't want to shoot like that, I wanted Gwen to be killed by the Green Goblin, and I wanted the little spider to watch his girlfriend die because of himself."

"Then the grief-stricken little spider went berserk and beat Dr. Octopus, who had grabbed him, directly tearing the connection between the mechanical tentacles and the brain, and freeing Doctor Octopus from the control of brainwashing."

"And after Doctor Octopus lost his combat effectiveness, the little spider also defeated the Green Goblin, and when the little spider wanted to kill him, he knew that he was defeated, and the Green Goblin ripped off his mask and begged for mercy, and then secretly controlled his skateboard, just like a comic, and wanted to assassinate the little spider, but in the end he was dodged by the little spider and was nailed to the wall."

"I know you might be wondering why I slapped Gwen to death."

"But you have to know that when the main character in the movie dies, that's infectious!"

"In "The Terminator", Kyle Reese, who went back in time to protect Sarah Connor, was shot to death by me in order to protect his wife, and died with the Terminator skeleton; In "Terminator 2", you watched Arnold enter molten steel; Similarly, in "Spider-Man", I want Gwen to die, because then the idea of the film can be sublimated! ”

"Peter Parker listened to his uncle, as much power as he wanted, he had as much responsibility, and he listened to Gwen's father, protect the city, yes, that's how he became a superhero step by step, but in the end?"

"When he's saving the world, who's going to save him?"

"He helped everyone in need, but in the end no one came to help him!"

"In the first part, Peter Parker understood how to be a hero! In the second part, he has to understand that being a good hero comes at a price! ”

"It's expensive, so expensive he can't afford it!"

"Yes, this is indeed a superhero movie, with the comic book foundation of the original book, but I didn't shoot nonsense!"

"You have to know that Gwen's death symbolizes the end of the Silver Age of comics!"

"But it's the character of Spider-Man, the arrival of the golden age!"

"I called Stan Lee and he told me in person that Gwen was Spider-Man's teenage girlfriend and Mary Jane was Spider-Man's true love, but without Gwen's death, Spider-Man would never have understood what a hero is!"

"I spent time creating the Green Goblin in the first part just to get Gwen dead in the second part."

"Uncle died, girlfriend's father died, girlfriend died, friend's father died, ......"

"The deaths of these people have taught a child who has been a hero since the age of sixteen what a hero is!"

"Why did Stan Lee design Spider-Man to be a chatter?"

"Because Spider-Man is scared."

"He's afraid that the next bad guy will take his eyes off him."

"If the first part is "Birth of a Hero", then the second part is "Heroes Far Away" ......"

"At the end of the movie, it's Gwen's funeral."

"Then Peter will throw away his suit."

"He feels that he can't even protect his girlfriend, so what is he going to do to protect the world?"

"This hero, he doesn't deserve."

"And the third part is "The Return of the Hero".

"At the beginning of the third part, a few months later, with the disappearance of Spider-Man, the crime rate in New York skyrocketed."

"People need Spider-Man, and even the Daily Bugle was looking for him, but Peter didn't care."

"Because he doesn't want to use the identity of Spider-Man anymore, he wants to protect his last relative, May."

"And Mary-Jane, who comforted Peter after Gwynn's death, gradually came into his life, of course, not in the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, but in pity and care."

"But at the same time, Osborne Technology is also facing huge compensation and legal proceedings."

"In this case, an Osborne Tech costume designer infiltrated the Osborne Group's lab to steal something and leave, but unexpectedly found Green Goblin equipment and the undisguised Dr. Lizard's research remnants."

"And, of course, the Harry Osborne who was in the lab, not knowing how to deal with his father's sins."

"Harry spotted the thief and wanted to catch him, while that costume designer Roderick Kingsley wanted to escape."

"The two of them fought for it, and finally hit the bracket containing the potion, and the two mutated at the same time."

"That's right, the villains of the third part are evil ghosts and second-generation green goblins."

"But unlike the Vietnam War veteran Dr. Lizard, unlike the Green Goblin who is for the benefit of the group, and unlike the controlled Doctor Octopus, the evil ghost is the bad guy, a very pure bad guy, and the second generation of the Green Goblin is a guy who is experiencing the pain of losing his father."

"After the demon mutated, it endangered the safety of New York, and the second generation of green goblins was amplified of evil thoughts in his heart."

"Didn't I tell you before? Harry loves Mary-Jane. ”

"So after becoming the Green Goblin, he went crazy after Mary Jane."

"And Mary Jane was with Peter Parker at the time, and the opportunity came."

"Doesn't Peter Parker not want to be a hero?"

"Didn't he watch the demons endanger New York?"

"But in the meantime, what if the second generation of Green Goblins comes again?"

"Peter Parker, who gave up being a hero, must wander each other in protecting his family and responsibility!"

"When he chooses to save Mary-Jane, his identity is revealed, and after it is exposed, he will never be able to face Mary-Jane unless he stops the demons! But he couldn't watch his friend Harry go to the brink of Mary-Jane in a delirious state! And at this time, the TV station came to broadcast live, and a child was standing in front of Harry in his clothes......"

So Peter wept and put on his coat again......

Only then did Peter understand! The so-called superheroes are also people! They also have their own lives, they have their own troubles, but in the face of a crisis, they still have to stand up! ”

"Friends and family have been killed, identity costumes have been discarded, but they are still there!"

"It's not that they want to be heroes, it's not that people want them to be heroes, it's that they have to be heroes!"

"Though they saved the world, no one can save them!"

"But if they don't save the world, then no one can save them in the end!"

"They may die, but their spirits live on!"

"At the end of the film, the demons who want to destroy New York and the second generation of Green Goblins who kidnapped Mary Jane save New York and gain love, and then Peter will lie on the top of the Empire State Building and look around the whole of New York."

"It ends with a jump and saying 'I am spider-man'."

"From becoming a hero in the first part, to facing the dark self-exile in the second part, and then to the return of the hero in the third part, Peter Parker has completed a real metamorphosis from an ordinary high school student to a hero."

"He has also changed from an introverted middle school student to a nagging that will hide his uneasiness with a cannon when he puts on a battle suit."

"If you can't accept the death of the main character, you asked me about my next movie, then I can't show it to you."

"Because of my next movie, I will still write the male protagonist to death......"

"I've always felt that giving the protagonist a dead ending in a good story makes the whole story more touching."

"You...... What do you think? ”
