At the end of the year, these types of reports started coming from major entertainnt news outlets. [Agnas] had truly made it big and the industry had gotten a lesson in the form of [Judgnt].
With too much superhero content, you need to be better than the most. And do a better job in the VFX departnt which most superhero movies lacked now due to being rushed.
It was also good news that good high budget movies that aren't in the superhero genre would also work if the audience liked it enough.
In all this, Aiden's fans were the ones that were the happier bunch. With [Action Hero], and [Agnas], this was a great year for Aiden. There were even whispers of him finally being considered an A lister but it wasn't established yet.
A lot depended on his next movie.
But for now, the fan group was extrely happy and were excited for the holiday season.
[Skyneves: 'Joker' got over 100 million views on Tube. It's really a smash hit. Aiden's music was really missing from my life.]
[I play gas for microtransactions: Shouldn't it be Agnas's song? Aiden just completed it. I feel like this is more his song than it's Aiden's song.]
[Mario Italian accent: I agree. Still, I heard no other composer could complete it and Aiden got the role precisely because he was able to complete it. He was truly ant to play Agnas.]
[Got a PS5, bitches: Yeah and I'm hoping he gets back into another album after this. He probably got a lot of inspiration from Agnas and I would love to get an album from Aiden now.]
[Hollywood Insider: I think he's already doing a movie next.]
At that comnt, a lot of the lurking mbers suddenly beca active. Insider was already a mysterious figure in the group that has been recognised as a true insider of the movie industry.
So, anything he says is mostly sothing that's bound to happen.
[Moaning Frodo: What movie? Give details, insider. Please?]
[Hollywood Insider: I won't.]
[Moaning Frodo: I feel like I deserve it. I sent you my secret stash of fur—]
[Hollywood Insider: Okay okay! Well, cough, this is very secret information but I think they're gonna make an announcent soon. A special role in a special movie. And I can tell you this, it will be Aiden's hardest role yet and if he cracks it well, it's sure to be a blockbuster.]
***
"You know I am scared to go head to head with you in a box office clash now. Everyone who has done it hasn't really made it out nicely. You are a beast for a young guy. Aren't you nearing your 30s now?"
"I'm 28. So yeah in two years."
"Still fairly young. I made my debut at your age and you have long surpassed ."
A man said with a laugh as he looked at Aiden. He had a pretty nice looking beard and there was a tattoo on his neck that was very clear. With brown hair and an extrely athletic body, he looked like a viking.
It was actually an apt description as the na had just finished the third season of a famous TV series [Valhalla Calling] which was about vikings. The man was Ray Hardy, soone who Aiden was eting after a long ti.
They have t a few tis in so award shows and they always have a good relationship. It had been established when they worked in [Black Saints].
"I actually didn't expect that Zavier would be able to get you on board for [The Black Saint]."
Aiden said, being a bit careful in his words. Ray and him were eting in the office of Granite films, the production house behind the first [Black Saints].
They were also producing the sequel obviously.
"Why? Because I'm not the main character anymore."
Ray said with a serious expression.
"Kind of. I actually wasn't sure how you would take the news. You know, the first part was about you and now, it's suddenly about Kai. There can be dissatisfaction and I don't want that."
"I get where you're coming from but don't worry." Ray put a hand on his shoulders. "Kai was a great character for too and I personally felt like we made a mistake by not giving him enough scenes. The audience thought that too, so I was imdiately on board when I heard that the sequel was based on his story. Moreover, when Zavier ca to et …"
Ray trailed his words and stopped, thinking about the exact words to use. Aiden squinted his eyes a bit.
"His eyes looked possessed. Like he had sothing to prove. I get it from what happened with him last year. It's hard to not be on board when you know the director is thinking of this movie as his best work."
Suddenly, the door to the eting room opened and Zavier walked in and looked at the both of them.
"Can soone among you click a selfie and post it on your social dia accounts?"
"Ah yeah. But why?"
"Creating hype before the announcent of the movie. The team is working on a few posters to announce the movie next month. But the marketing team feels like we can create more hype by hinting at sothing. I don't know how marketing people's brains works but they asked to talk to you too."
Zavier shrugged his shoulders and Ray nodded.
"I will do it. Aiden can do the sa. Let people speculate for a few days before the official announcent."
"Yeah, I'm fine with it."
Aiden said as Zavier sat down. He had called them both here to talk about the dates and ti of shooting.
"So, we are going to wrap the pre-production by February and start in the last week of Feb. I hope you two don't have any other schedules as I want to finish it on ti."
"It's fine with ." Ray said. "I have to shoot a rom com with Grant Elliot in July and until then I'm free."
Actually, one of the reasons Ray was doing [The Black Saint] was because his role was deliberately shot. In the past years, he had shot for blockbusters like [Fury Road] and [The Black Symbiote].
Adding to it was the TV shows he was already doing.
These movies would take a whole year to shoot and he was so sick of it that he was now only taking small roles or roles that he could have fun in like a rom com or a weird indie project.
"We will be fine. Just take ti to get back into your character." Zavier said before turning to Aiden. "What about you, Kai?"
For the record, Zavier was calling him Kai for a while now. It was because he wanted him to get used to it as soon as possible.
"I have nothing else planned. I'm not taking anything for a month or two because I just want to focus on Kai and his thoughts. I want to beco the character."
"You take it very seriously, eh?"
Ray asked and Aiden nodded.
"Yeah, this is the kind of role that I need to give my all too. Last ti, I made Kai's character as a psychopath with weird antics in my head. But he's more than that. I want to break down his character and go deeper into what made him Kai."
Aiden explained. He was a re beginner the first ti he stepped into the character of Kai. But now, he has evolved.
Moreover, [Black Saints] was comparatively different from [The Black Saint]. The first was a cri thriller and Kai as a ruthless antagonist with no background or origin worked extrely well.
It gave him a factor in which people were in awe of him but they couldn't sympathise with him, giving him an edge.
Now, this was more of an action tragedy, needing him to show the emotions of Kai.
"How are you going to do it? I'm very curious."
Ray asked, showing him a smile that said that he was very curious about his thods. Zavier also gave attention.
"I'm planning to spend so ti alone and do a few things."
Aiden said, giving an ambiguous answer.
