The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 990 Stop here
“Actually, we can understand it this way.”

"The core of the Spider-Man story, from the first to the second, is about choice. Every character has the opportunity to choose. Peter hesitates whether to choose justice or himself. Doctor Octopus chooses whether to pursue scientific truth or keep his heart and avoid destroying the world. Harry chooses whether to believe Peter or trust his own eyes blinded by hatred."

"Many times, people always say that they have no choice, so they are forced to do evil; but in fact, everyone has a choice. How to define the moral bottom line and how to define oneself, everyone has the right to choose."

"It is precisely every choice you make that ultimately makes you who you are."

"So, I think the scenes surrounding Harry should focus on two parts."

"Part of it is Peter. Peter can't just keep silent. Whether it's out of guilt or because he truly regards Harry as a friend, Peter is always there, trying to accompany Harry through the difficulties."

"Part of it is Harry, how he views Peter, how he deals with the pain of losing his father, and at the same time he's stuck in the regret of losing Mary Jane. He once tried to choose the side of light, but in the end he still turned to evil."

"In a sense, this is the same as Anakin Skywalker in the 'Star Wars Prequel', how to make choices in the face of difficulties and setbacks."

Simply put, Harry now also has a small psychological arc.

Therefore, every time Harry appears, it is no longer a pure plot connection. The interaction between Harry and Peter needs to be filled with more details to make the plot and characters fuller.

Although it's not much, it adds completeness to the entire movie.

After saying this, Anson noticed James's eyes, which seemed meaningful.

Anson thought James was going to complain, so he looked back at him.

James raised his head slightly and said what he meant without hiding anything. "So, are you going to let Hayden and I play the same role and compete with each other?"

In "Star Wars Episode 2", the role of Anakin Skywalker was played by Hayden Christensen, and Hayden has no contact with them at all now.

Sam and Kristen were confused, but Anson and James were exchanging glances.

Ansen was stunned——

To be honest, he was not aware of this at all, he was just giving it as an example, or maybe he hadn't remembered Hayden for a long, long time.

Now that James reminded him, Anson couldn't help but smile.

Then, Anson nodded gently, "Why, are you worried that you can't do it?"

James glared at her, "You can't do that. Don't say that."

Anson said calmly, "So, are you confident or not?"

James:…

After choking, James raised his chest and clapped his right hand, "Nonsense, just watch, how can I be worse than that guy."

Sam and Kristen's eyes accidentally crossed, and they could tell that something must have happened between Anson and Hayden; but neither of them was a gossipy person, so they kept silent and observed the situation.

Until Anson looked at Sam, "What about Mary Jane?"

Christen was stunned——

There is actually her?
At the beginning, one of the important reasons why Kristen agreed to take the role in "Spider-Man 2" was Anson. She believed that the work starring Anson could bring some different textures, at least not just simple popcorn.

However, the reality was slightly below expectations, and Mary Jane was just a vase that screamed and waited to be rescued in the movie, which was disappointing. Kristen was not sad, because the salary figures did not lie.

The income from filming "Spider-Man" can make her life easy, and she can freely choose scripts and roles that she is interested in, such as "The Light of Being Wild".

It's a good deal.

But it is undeniable that deep down in my heart, there is still a little expectation that the sequel can change some situations and improve the texture of the plot.

Unfortunately, after getting the script, I was still disappointed——

Soap opera, even more soap opera than the first one.

Could it be that Anson thought the same as she did?
Indeed, Anson had the same idea.

In Anson's opinion, there is really no need to stage the "Graduate" plot of running away from the wedding, because the characters have no edges and weight, and the plot has no impact, and in the end there is only melodrama; if you want to avoid melodrama, you need to spend time and effort to describe the tug and bond of emotions, give the melodrama plot enough dramatic tension, and touch the hearts of the audience.

But if there is no way to do it, then it should be streamlined.

Anson's suggestion was that Mary Jane could have suitors, but she did not accept it because she had been thinking about why Peter rejected her and what was going on with her feelings for Peter and Spider-Man. She did not want to repeat the same mistake and get involved in a relationship before she had thought it through.

If you think about it carefully, Mary Jane always lacks a sense of security and certainty because of her original family. She needs someone to accompany her to make her feel at ease, so in the first part of the series, she dated different people one after another, and after ending one relationship, she immediately jumped into another, until she found the "certainty" she had been looking for in Peter.

However, the story of the second part of the series returns again. After being rejected by Peter, she accepted another person and even entered the stage of marriage discussion. In the end, she regretted it again and turned to Peter.

To put it in an emotionally intelligent way, everyone has their own psychological trauma and is always repeating their mistakes.

To put it in a low EQ way, it's lazy. The emotional plot of the second part is a direct copy and paste of the first part, so that the character of Mary Jane remains treading water.

And, most importantly—

In the first film of the series, Mary Jane and Peter had a heartfelt conversation that laid the emotional foundation for the two of them, at least making the transformation convincing enough for the audience to relate to; but in the second film of the series, there was no such thing, and the back-and-forth was just soap opera quality.

This is not just lazy, it's sloppy.

If it cannot awaken the excitement of thinking like "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight", it should at least bring more impact in terms of emotional bonds like "Avengers 4", even if it is sensational.

So, at the most basic level, they could add a scene to give this relationship something that the audience can resonate with, otherwise the emotional impact of the movie is almost zero.

But I don’t know what Sony Columbia thinks about it.

Sam paused slightly.

Anson immediately understood: the uneasiness was actually here.

Sam was a little embarrassed. "Sony Columbia thinks that the movie needs such a youth campus love story to be attractive. People still like the story of 'Romeo and Juliet', at least more than 'When Harry Met Sally'."

Anson was not surprised and sighed, "It's already the 21st century, and the aesthetic of love in genre movies is still 'I love her, she loves him, he doesn't love her'. Whoever made the decision should grow up."

Just pick it up and make a complaint.

On the side, Christen couldn't help but smile, but she still maintained some politeness and lowered her head to hide her smile.
