Capítulo 27: Chapter 27

At Harsh Rai's suggestion, she accepted the film contract for "The Twilight Saga" and officially starred as the female lead Isabella. In the audition competition, Sister Stone successfully defeated Kristen Stewart. The producers of "The Twilight Saga" also took a fancy to Sister Stone's box office appeal. She is now a hot new generation actress in Hollywood. She is 18 years old, youthful and beautiful, and has good acting skills. She will definitely add a lot to "The Twilight Saga". In order to invite Sister Stone, the producer even agreed to delete the kiss scene and change the settings. In the movie, the vampire Edward cannot help but want to suck blood when he is close to humans. So he controlled himself and did not kiss the heroine. He only used misplaced shots at the end of the film to infect the heroine Bella into a vampire. Therefore, Sister Stone reluctantly separated from Harsh Rai temporarily. Harsh Rai's apartment became empty again. However, he is about to get busy on the set as "John Wick" is officially launched! Most of the film was shot at Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai, with parts shot in New York and Berlin. Sure enough, when Harsh Rai came to the set and was about to start shooting the first scene... a flash of light penetrated his mind again! ... My name is John Wick, and I am a retired killer. I once worked for a powerful underworld, with countless blood on my hands, and became a legendary killer in the organization. Later, I met the love of my life, Helen! After retiring, we lived happily for 5 years. Unfortunately, Helen passed away due to illness. Before she died, she gave me a dog "Daisy", hoping to alleviate my grief. After burying my wife, my dog Daisy and I depended on each other. However, one day, I met a gangster while refueling, and he wanted to buy my car by force. After I rejected him, that gangster sneaked into my house and killed the puppy Daisy! The gang boss behind the gangster knew my identity. He panicked and wanted to ask for mercy? No way, you all have to die. All, there are, people! They will all be buried with Daisy! Leave no one behind... ... "call——" It feels like a world away! When Harsh Rai stepped away from the role, it seemed as if he had really spent his whole life! Memories of John Wick flashed before my eyes like a revolving door! Even now, the indelible grief and anger in the heart of the killer John Wick still remain! He was so immersed in the role that Harsh Rai needed to take a deep breath to adjust his state. "Harsh, are you okay?" "John Wick" director David Leitch came over to check with concern. Harsh Rai is not only an investor, but also the screenwriter and star of the film! He is the soul! Director David Leitch even feels like he is Harsh Rai's puppet, and of course, he is happy to be a puppet. With Harsh Rai's status and talent, David Leitch's status will also rise after this movie is released. "It doesn't matter, let's continue shooting." Harsh Rai waved his hand, picked up the prop pistol, and prepared to shoot the first scene. "John Wick, scene 1, shot 1, shot 1!" "Action!" ... In the far east, a Spider-Man craze is arousing. On Mumbai Island, even though the movie has been released for more than a week, major theaters are still full. Spider-Man has accounted for more than 70% of the film schedule. None of the other films can compete, and they are basically squeezed into the corners. Once upon a time, Mumbai movies were known as the Hollywood of the East, and the box office rankings were dominated by their own films. Since 1995, Mumbai movies have declined, and some filmmakers have gone south to seek gold. The Mumbai box office charts are basically dominated by Hollywood blockbusters. The current top-grossing local film in 2006 is Hrithik Roshan's "Krrish", which grossed ₹30.2 crores at the box office. "Krrish" only ranked 5th in the annual box office; Aamir Khan's "Rang De Basanti" only ranked 7th; the top 4 were "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "The Da Vinci Code", "Narnia" and "Mission: Impossible 3", with a maximum box office of ₹35 crores. Until "Spider-Man" comes and rules the entire Mumbai Island with overwhelming force! With a box office of ₹38 crores in the opening week, Harsh Rai's Spider-Man crushes pirates! The media predicts that the final box office may exceed ₹50 crores! Since Harsh Rai is Indian, Mumbai Island naturally feels close to him, and the long-lost enthusiasm for movies in Mumbai has been rekindled! Walking on the streets of Colaba, Bandra, Worli, and Juhu, posters of Spider-Man Harsh Rai can be seen everywhere! The same is true for nearby states, with box office sales exceeding ₹120 crores in the first week! "Pirates of the Caribbean" is back again! As for the even bigger inland market of India on the other side of the state... due to the dispute with India Film Group and the strong film review mechanism, "Spider-Man" will not be released in the mainland in 2006. However, the media is already discussing this live-action superhero blockbuster that has taken the world by storm! "The live-action version of "Spider-Man" has taken the world by storm, with box office exceeding US$900 million! Expected to surpass "Lord of the Rings 3"!" "Indian actor Harsh Rai is known as the most handsome Spider-Man! The domestic market has not been set yet!" "The Golden Armor" is still firmly at the top of the domestic box office! Spider-Man is expected to be released during Diwali!" The 2006 box office champion is still held by Yash Chopra's movie "Dhoom 2", with a box office of ₹250 crores, starring the top actors Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, and Bipasha Basu. The cast and the screen presence are enough to attract box office. The entertainment sections of portal websites such as Rediff, Bollywood Hungama, and Times of India reported a lot of news about "Spider-Man". However, they did not attract much attention, and more people in India did not pay attention at all. I know that there is an Indian playing Spider-Man in Hollywood. Just like before the pirated discs of "Spider-Man" became rampant in the previous life in 2002, many people did not know about this movie. In online communities such as Film and Television Forum and Marvel Forum, some fans are discussing "Spider-Man". "I heard that Indian actors playing Spider-Man are a big hit in India. Is this true?" "Fake news is definitely a stunt created by the media. How could Spider-Man be played by an Indian? Must be white." "I saw it in Mumbai, they are really Indian! I heard he is still a student of FTII." "Come on, it's a good movie with Indian actors? Hollywood has very high requirements for acting skills!" In the period before 2008, public opinion was premeditated and biased, and the foreign theory that the moon was round prevailed. "Wash the dishes 7 times", "The sewers in Mumbai are all made in Germany", "Super summer camp for foreign children", "The toilet water in Japan is drinkable"... Due to public knowledge, Hollywood has been over-mythologized. It has become a subconscious concept that the acting skills of domestic actors are not as good as others, and the quality of domestic films is not as good as Hollywood. Even though "Spider-Man" has taken the global market by storm, some people still don't believe that Indian people can play Spider-Man well. Regarding this issue, there was already a quarrel in the forum, until India Film Group officially announced that a piece of breaking news appeared on the headlines on the homepages of major portal websites! "Indian actor Harsh Rai leads the sci-fi action blockbuster "Spider-Man" and is scheduled to be released! Shockingly released on January 28th!" At this point, the debate stops! Domestic movie fans are in a collective uproar!
