Entertainment: Playing Spider-Man at the Start

"Sony Pictures announces plan to restart live-action version of"Spider-Man"!"

"This project was initiated in 2001 and has not been filmed until 2006."

"Director Sam Raimi exits the project, Marc Webb comes on board to direct!"

"Mark Webb said: I will not turn on the film until I find the ideal candidate. Spider-Man casting cannot be compromised."

"Superstars such as Heath Ledger and Leonardo DiCaprio were rejected one after another. The reason given by the director was that they did not fit the character design."

"Sony Pictures has opened its second large-scale audition. The race of actors is not limited to white. Latinos, African Americans, and Asians can audition."

"Shock! 18-year-old Indian actor Harsh was recognized by the director! Marc Webb declares: He is Spider-Man!"

"Asian Spider-Man is coming? Sony Pictures is crazy! Who is this Indian?"

"Shock! US media revealed that the actor who plays the live-action version of Spider-Man is actually Indian! So the question is, who is Harsh Rai?"

...

Spring 2006.

North America, Los Santos.

An old apartment in Indiatown on Sunset Boulevard.

Harsh Rai sat in a rental house of less than 30 square meters, staring at the agent at the door in stunned silence.

The house was so full of luggage and sundries that the agent couldn't even get off his feet after entering and could only stand at the door.

The windows were blocked by houses and the light was slightly dim.

Although this room is a bit depressing, Harsh Rai can't hide his surprise at this moment

"real? You're not kidding me? Did I succeed in my audition?"

The agent, Happy Hogan, is a fat white uncle.

He is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but his bloated figure cannot hide his sense of humor.

"certainly! Harsh, if you are willing to play, the role of Spider-Man is yours."

However, the agent hesitated for a moment and said worriedly:

"However, I still recommend that you star in another large-scale production"Fast and Furious 3: Island Drift"""

"fast and Furious?"

Agent Happy persuaded with earnest words:

"Yes, the director is of Indian descent, so he must think highly of you. Secondly, this sequel has high hopes from Universal, with an investment of US$85 million. It will definitely be a hit!"

"After all, Spider-Man is a comic book movie, so it's quite risky. And if a Indian plays Spider-Man, I'm worried about the evaluation."

"You really need to think carefully and don't give up on another better project just because of your own preferences!"

In Happy Hogan's view, comic book adaptations are synonymous with failure.

Except for the Superman movies in the 1980s, all live-action comic film and television dramas since then, without exception, have failed miserably at the box office.

This is simply a forbidden area in Hollywood!

Otherwise The director is looking for so many stars, why do they all refuse to participate in Spider-Man?

Is it because he is afraid that the reputation will be too bad, which will have a negative impact on his career.

Looking back at"Fast and Furious 3", the series of works has a reputation and a market, and it is rare to do so. For a story set in East Asia, the investors specifically looked for an Asian director and an Asian male protagonist, and could also please the huge Indian market.

Chan was not allowed to enter the mainstream Hollywood circle in one fell swoop and usher in a career takeoff.

No matter from which aspect,""Fast and Furious 3" is much better than"Spider-Man".

Happy's mouth went dry when he tried to persuade him, but he was interrupted by Harsh Rai raising his hand.

"Happy , I know what you mean. But I'm convinced that Spider-Man is really different this time around."

Harsh Rai's eyes are very firm.

Because he is a reborn person, he is very clear about the potential of"Spider-Man"!

Do you understand the value of being the box office champion in 2002?

It is precisely because of the confidence brought by Sony's"Spider-Man" that Marvel will He will resolutely shoot"Iron Man" when major companies are avoiding it! This will start the Marvel Cinematic Universe to sweep the world.

Of course, these are things in Harsh Rai's previous life.

Now he is reborn in the parallel world of 2006, the world There have been certain changes in the line.

The first generation of Spider-Man has not yet started filming!

Comic-book movies still have a low status in Hollywood, and

Marvel is still a small company on the verge of bankruptcy and has failed to start its own movie universe.

In 2001, Sony tried to shoot""Spider-Man".

Unfortunately, Tobey Maguire from the parallel world did not embark on the acting path, and there was no such person in Hollywood.

There was no suitable casting, and the filming process was full of difficulties.

The original director Sam Raimi announced his withdrawal. In

2002,"Spider-Man""Spider-Man" encountered project delays before it was released.

Until 2006,

Sony did not want the"Spider-Man" IP to be ruined in its own hands, so it found director Marc Webb to restart filming!

During the audition process for the leading role, Harsh Rai selected from countless auditioners Standing out, he became the original Spider-Man!

...

Harsh Rai was very active when he was a child.

He learned Kalaripayattu martial arts from his neighbor's grandfather, and practiced martial arts routines and Kalaripayattu for many years.

After rehearsing the drama at the New Year's Day party in junior high school, Harsh Rai opened the door to a new world.

He didn't learn acting in his previous life, but he took a completely different path in this world.

With his excellent Kathakali foundation, resonant singing voice, and handsome appearance,

Harsh Rai was admitted to the National School of Drama Performance Department with first place and became Alia Bhatt's classmate.

However, before his first semester at the National School of Drama was over, he was involved in a whirlpool.

Harsh Rai accidentally encountered a professor at the school assaulting a female classmate.

After a secret investigation, it was discovered that the professor was corrupt, had hidden rules and other improper behaviors.

Harsh Rai reported the case with his real name, causing an uproar and becoming a hot topic in society at the time.

Although the professor was in trouble,

Harsh Rai was ostracized by the teacher and the college because of his overly upright character.

Some bosses even said that he would not be able to graduate from the National School of Drama and would never be able to receive any film contracts in the film and television industry!

The peaceful life was completely disrupted.

If Harsh Rai wanted to continue studying, he could only bow to the other party.

He dropped out of school in anger and came to USA on the other side of the ocean, planning to make a living in Hollywood.

Unexpectedly, after working as a bit player for half a year, he actually succeeded in the audition and got the role of "Spider-Man"!

Seeing that Harsh Rai couldn't speak, his agent Happy Maguire sighed and forced a smile.

"Okay, you can report to the set tomorrow"

"Thanks, Happy"

"Good luck to you and hope you make the right choice"

"Take it easy, Happy. You can't imagine what kind of work this is!"
