What does Roland think?

From the very beginning when he heard the name Gwen Stacy, he already knew that the old pervert of the truck driver would definitely shoot Gwen's death, because this is not a big event in the Spider-Man comics at all, but a big event in the entire history of American comics!

When a comic book plot can affect the creative direction of the entire industry, this is not just a simple work, and Spider-Man is also firmly in the position of Marvel's first brother, who made him the first superhero to die of his wife?

With Andrew Garfield's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" in front, Roland can actually accept the plot of Gwen's death, and the investment of 200 million, the total box office of more than 200 million in North America and more than 700 million in the world, is actually not a loss.

The reason why fans around the world speak ill of him is that the electric light man created by Sony is too stupid, the blackening of the second generation of green goblins is inexplicable, and the appearance of the last rhinoceros man is too abrupt, as for the impact of Gwen's death?

In fact, when the name Gwen Stacy appeared, the vast majority of viewers would know that she was going to die.

In this case, reasonable arrangements for her death are the key.

In the words of the truck driver, it is that 'all movie characters are alive, he can live or die, but if he is arranged, then he has to do his best to reflect the value of his death'.

So—

In "The Terminator", the second male died in order to make the female one realize the preciousness of life.

In "Terminator 2", the male one died in order to protect the world.

In "Titanic", in order to reflect the true love of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, rather than ordinary cheating, the male protagonist died again.

Why do many people think that "Alita" is Cameron's work?

Because the male protagonist died again.

Tut!

Looking at it this way, the truck driver is really psychopathic!

And in the newly arranged script, Gwen's death value is to make the little spider understand the cruelty in the superhero world: this is not an exam, and there will be a next time if you make a mistake; This is not love, there is always a chance to reconcile when you are noisy; It's not about starting a business, even if you fail, you can start all over again; Superheroes don't have the right to a hippie smile at all, as long as they despise the enemy once, everything around them will be threatened with death, and when they put on their suits, they are ready to die.

It doesn't matter if I fall, because I believe that after I fall, someone will come back up like me.

To put it mildly, Roland even thinks that the Spider-Man created by the truck driver who has the consciousness of death has no need to reboot at all, even if he doesn't make a sequel, he can take it out and continue to use it in the Avengers, Mary Jane replaced the soul gem, and Spider-Man instantly became the most suitable one to snap his fingers - "I've been a hero since I was sixteen, I was ready to sacrifice when I was twenty, and now I can finally rest." ”

Both parents are dead, uncles are dead, father-in-law is dead, girlfriends are dead, friends are dead, friends are crazy, wives are gone......

After leaving a little Loli daughter for Mei, he can finally close his eyes.

Hiss!

With such a setting, how did it become that Aunt Mei was the worst one?

Roland shook his head, wanting to throw all these thinking black holes in his head, although he felt that the plot of the trilogy was OK, but he still had a few questions, "I want to know, why did the second part use Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin?" ”

"I can understand the setting that Doctor Octopus was brainwashed by the Green Goblin, because this can show that he was originally a good person, but he was controlled to do bad things, so after the little spider destroyed his chip, he came to his senses and stopped attacking the little spider."

"But Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin together, the little spider doesn't run wild, and it can't be beaten at all!"

"There's too much disparity in strength, isn't it?"

"It's about the disparity of power! Here is the misery and despair of the little spider! In the face of Roland's inquiry, the truck driver poured a sip of wine into his mouth and said very proudly: "If the difference in strength is not big, how can it reflect the misery of the little spider?" ”

"When faced with an invincible enemy, the idea that I save the world and no one helps me can be conveyed."

"And, in this case, it makes perfect sense for the Green Goblin to kill Gwen!"

"Because Spider-Man can't beat it in the first place!"

"We don't want Spider-Man in the comics who mistakenly thought they killed Gwen and then appeared with a twisted mind."

"This is not an Olympic film, the fundamental purpose of this movie is still business, so the connotation thinking of the whole movie is all handed over to those guys who have nothing to do! There is only one idea we can convey to the general audience! ”

"When Spider-Man is saving the world, he is also carrying all the pain that should be borne by the world and is not suitable for his age!"

"And then he was crushed, he didn't want to do it anymore, but finally got back on his feet!"

"What I want is for the audience to think Peter Parker is miserable, sad and crying out of the movie theater!"

"And then the next one saw Peter Parker get up again, and they walked out of the movie theater crying with excitement!"

"I have to make them cry anyway! Crying is the easiest way to vent your emotions! ”

"If we can move 30% of the audience, we win!"

"If you can move 50% of the audience, this movie will definitely be a hit!"

"Eighty percent of the audience can be moved, and the remaining 20 percent will be moved by the moved guy even if they are not moved!"

What kind of divine logic is this special code?

Roland is defeated by the trucker's nirvana.

However, he has to admit that moving the world is actually quite popular.

However, before he officially agreed, he still had a concern, "James, what if the audience doesn't accept such a plot?" ”

The "Spider-Man" trilogy that Roland is tinkering with now has no reference basis for his previous life.

He just thinks that the story is clear and complete, as for whether it can be liked by the public, how does he know?

To put it bluntly, his keen sense of smell is all based on memories of his past life, and now-

It is only possible to rely on the careful judgment of professionals.

However, Roland's question made the truck driver show seriousness.

He stared at Roland for half a minute, then stretched his face and sighed: "Roland, I admit that when I set the plot, there was an element of gambling, but I didn't gamble indiscriminately. ”

"I told you before that there is a difference of four years between the second "Far Cry of Heroes" and the first "Birth of a Hero", and the difference between the third "Return of Heroes" and the second part is only a few months, which is actually considered."

"I'm going to shoot the second and third parts together, so that the investors have to have a one-time injection, and after the shooting, whether they want to or not, they have to spend a lot of money to publicize it."

"In other words, even if the market feels that there is a problem with the second part, we can release the third part that is responsible for the explanation in the shortest possible time, trying to save the market and fans."

"Sure, I know it's not good, but I love the story and I want to take a gamble."

"It's the same as doing the Terminator series."

The continuous shooting of the god special code?

Hearing the truck driver say this, Roland's face changed.

Now, he can finally understand how helpless the Fox who has been tossed by the truck driver and wants to hang himself! This old man is really crazy! In order to make a movie, spare no effort to find a way to deceive investors!

Touching his conscience, he said that if Roland didn't have the memory of his previous life, and he didn't know how good the truck driver was, then he must have blown the other party away by now! I don't dare to guarantee the script I wrote, and I want to bet on a big ticket?

I went into the water with you when I saw the hell!

Just when Roland wanted to make a sharp complaint about the irresponsible ideas of the truck driver, the truck driver who had already seen Roland's thoughts spoke first and said, "Oh! Don't contradict me yet, will you listen to me? The reason why I extended the filming time of the first and second parts to four years, in addition to the main factor that your age cannot keep up, another factor is that after the first film, I have been preparing for five years for the next film, which is about to be made. ”

"In the '90s, I wanted to make a movie about the Titanic, and I was going to make a disaster movie into a romance movie - didn't I tell you before? If you can accept the plot of the trilogy, I can show you the book of romance movies, because the male protagonist in the movie will die for love......"

"If I remember correctly, you were born on January 1st of '80, right?"

"I'm ten years and fifty-two months now."

"By the time my movie starts, you'll be ten years and eighty months old, and the time is just right."

"If you think the plot of the trilogy is good, but you don't know if the audience can accept the plot of the dead heroine, then you can shoot my disaster romance film first after filming the first part!"

"If the audience can accept your death when watching your movie, then they will have a high probability of accepting the heroine's death! If it's a game, isn't it a one-to-one! ”

"Really, believe me, I have been preparing this script for many years, just to break the box office record of you and Steven's "Jurassic Park", if you still break the box office record in the case of the death of the character you played in the play, doesn't that prove that my moving theory is okay? So we can continue to shoot boldly with confidence! ”

"Of course, if something happens, it doesn't matter, we still have a full year to change the script!"

"People can't accept the death of the protagonist, so after the big war, Gwen finds out the identity of Spider-Man, and it is difficult to accept the fact that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, and then breaks up with him."

"Although this is a traditional commercial film routine, but with the influence of Spider-Man, the popularity you lost because of disaster romance movies can also be re-established, I have always felt that no matter who plays the role of Spider-Man, it will explode......"

"Of course, changing the plot is the worst plan, and the reason why I say this is just to tell you that we have a way back......"

When the truck driver kept tempting Roland with the tone of buy three get one free, and stuffed the script of "Titanic" that had been hidden in his bag for a long time into Roland's hand, this guy who was about to be fooled and lame showed an incredible expression.

No......

Why does this old man still have the script of "Titanic" on him?

Hold the grass ......

How did the script of "Titanic" come to me?

Roland at this moment is like a guy who watched the ABC Oscars live broadcast!

If the trilogy thrown by the truck driver is as exciting as Bong Joon-ho winning the best director, then the script of "Titanic" is as surprising as "Parasite" won the best picture!

Sam Mendes and his "1917" can really cry to death in the toilet!

You said that the "Joker" superhero film was Joaquin Phoenix in solo throughout the whole process, so Todd Phillips was brought down; "The Irishman" Netflix, and Martin Scorsese, who has not been treated well by the academy; "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is the world in Quentin Tarantino's eyes, and Sam Mendes vs. Bong Joon-ho, isn't that the face of a flying dragon rider? ——

Well, the Wyvern Riding Face does lose.

However, even if Roland was confused, he understood what the other party meant.

First of all, to make "Spider-Man: Birth of a Hero", the first purely commercial but human-like movie was made in accordance with the rules and regulations of the green light committees of major film and television giants, and you want to lose money? That's dreaming!

Then, "Titanic" was done, if Roland's fans can accept the death of Roland's character, then they can prepare "Heroes Far Away" and "Return of Heroes", otherwise, the latter two will be made into pure commercial films.

To be honest, this is the first time Roland has seen this kind of film shooting plan similar to that of a matryoshka doll.

But—

The old man took the initiative to say that he wanted to use "Titanic" to protect "Heroes Far Away"?

Hold the grass! Didn't you give this special code for nothing?

Why can Xiao Lizi sit firmly on the A+list for more than 20 years?

In addition to picking and selecting books, the most important thing is that he has been handsome for a lifetime with "Titanic"!

The actor and actress will come out every year, and the best picture will be there every year, but there will only be one box office record in film history!

And what is the box office record in film history?

This is the gold medal for avoiding death!

The movies that hit the box office are not necessarily all good movies, but the movies that are the number one at the box office are definitely not bad!

Being able to get the first place means that there are a bunch of people who like it, and in this case, the starring actor who picks the lead beam can eat it for at least ten years!

Even if Roland is not very interested in the truck driver's whimsical nesting doll ideas, for the sake of the book in his hand, he will agree with the other party's script outline! What's more, using "Titanic" to protect "Heroes Far Away" and "Return of Heroes" was originally a genius idea! And just when Roland was about to lock the script of "Titanic" in his safe with no conscience, he suddenly thought of a question-

That's not right!

How could this truck driver who wanted to beat him up all the time be so kind?

Before, the truck driver said in front of Spielberg that he was a pit guy who grabbed the script, why ...... now?

Roland, who felt that something was wrong, calmed down, and after looking at the other party a few times, he secretly asked, "James?" ”

"Huh?"

"This book is for me?"

"That's right!"

"You're not lying?"

"Hey, you little ghost! Why do you think I'm fine? "The truck driver came to lose his temper.

"Then you said before that after you met me, you were very unlucky?" Roland's eyes narrowed, he smelled the smell of conspiracy.

Hearing this, the old man's face turned pale, and after a few seconds, he returned to normal, "Didn't you just say that you believed me?" ”

"What bad luck, it's unpleasant, it's all angry talk......"

Angry talk?

I still feel like there's a lot of joy in the air!

Why did you old guy suddenly become cowardly?

If it was still speculation before, then now, Roland can be sure that this guy is hiding something from himself.

Judging from the other party's previous words and the historical means in his memory, Roland felt that he had seen the truth.

"Is it because of this project that Fox is reluctant to inject capital?" Roland flicked the cover of the script with his index finger.

Hearing him say this, the old man who was leaning on the sofa suddenly pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, "Hey! ”

"The Fox guys are a bunch of idiots!"

"I just quoted a budget of 75 million, but they have to say that if I reported 75 million, I will definitely use 1.5 billion in the end, plus "Terminator 2" and "True Lies" both used 100 million, so ......"

"They don't want to criticize."

"They think it's crazy to throw a little 500 million into a disaster romance movie!"

"They even moved out of Cleopatra, thinking that investing in me was a risk!"

Oh!

The fox's tail is exposed!

"So you need a guy who can fight the box office?" Roland looked at the old man with a smile.

Although the true purpose has been discovered, the drunk and courageous truck driver is not afraid at all, "What do you think?" ”

"Fox President Bill Mitchnick told me that they wouldn't mind casting nine figures in a disaster romance as long as you're willing to star! Although we are going to shoot "Spider-Man" next year, at the beginning of next year, they will be able to invest 75 million for me to prepare for "Titanic" to ensure that you can smoothly transition to their side after the filming of "Spider-Man"! ”

"One and a half hundred million, when you were ten years and eighty months old, how tall are you now? Five feet five inches? ”

"You're already tall, of course, at your growth rate, you'll be more than five feet seven inches in two years, whether it's seven, eight, ten, eleven, or six......"

"If you say no, I'll start beating you right now!"

Seeing that the truck driver rolled up his sleeves and used a wine bottle to add a buff to his head, Roland snorted and hid aside, "Ok, Ok, can't I take it?" But ......"

"But? Nothing but! The truck driver directly interrupted: "Don't tell me that your acting skills are not enough to control it, you have been with Tom for more than half a year, do you think I will believe your words?" ”

"And I've heard Robin tell you how to find emotion?"

"That's enough! The two of them think you can, then you can! ”

"Besides, romance movies are very simple! Just find an actress you think is beautiful! ”

"If you can really get that green, hazy feeling, I'll still feel good!"

"That's it, huh? Take these two notebooks to Steven! "Spider-Man" strives to find an investor to inject capital into the project before June, and as long as the money is in place, the crew can be formed. ”

"Half a year to choose a site to make props and find actors, it looks loose, but it's actually very tight!"

"We aim to start filming in early January and finish work in early June."

"We're going to get the editing done in June, and then almost in September, I'll have time to stare at "Titanic" - you decide when "Spider-Man" will be released, anyway, starting in June '96, you have to join the "Titanic" team, as for when the filming will be completed, it will be half a year at most, but you are not allowed to take on other projects in advance."

"Uh...... If it's Steven's project, you can take it, but you're not allowed to run! ”

Get......

Seeing that the truck driver had calculated the time so accurately, Roland knew that this guy had been well prepared before he came.

That's actually a good thing, and who doesn't want their partner to be very reliable?

But what about casting......

Seeing that the other party had the intention of making Spielberg a co-producer, Roland coughed and repeated the thoughts he had told James Olsen before.

After the truck driver listened to the series of perverted lineups that could not exist in superhero movies at all, he was about to leave with his mouth slightly open, frowning and stunned for a long time, and then asked in an almost rotten voice, "Are you crazy?" ”

“Shit！ Am I crazy? ”

“Damn！ If you form this kind of lineup, the heroine will die a hundred times, and others will watch it too! ”

"It's not that the audience can't accept that the protagonist is dead, but they are worried that the director will shoot indiscriminately and cause the protagonist to die!"

“Fuck！”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to pull these people to play?"

"If you told me earlier, I wouldn't have to explain to you for a long time!"

"Wow, now that it's like this, Doctor Octopus can still ask Arnold to play it!"

"And the evil ghost in the third part, you can also invite an actor!"

"As soon as this kind of A+list and A-list lineup is released, which audience will think that I will mess around?"

"Uh...... What if I think you're going to mess around? Roland, who was sprayed with a spittle, said very seriously.

"Get out!" Seeing the truck driver who was about to get his hands on the all-gold team, this time he really unceremoniously rolled up his sleeves and began to beat people, "I see that this guy of yours is really rising too fast, and he is starting to float!" ”

"If I don't beat you up today, I won't leave!"
