"You don't like it. Your expression wasn't the one I had expected."
Zavier asked as he looked at Aiden's face. He looked a bit worried like the script wasn't at the level he had thought it would be. At least Zavier guessed that and became a bit reserved.
Fortunately, Aiden shook his head.
"It's not that. The idea and theme of the script. I truly feel like this is the best way to go with Kai. When the idea of a sequel first came up, I didn't want it to be some 'fake death' gimmick because that would really be contradicting the ideas and motives of Kai. This is what I think we should go for to do justice to the ideology of Kai."
He stopped his words there and his eyes looked at the script. They held the same expression of concern.
'Even the system is showing the script score at 89/100. That's the highest I have seen till now, so the problem isn't the quality.'
Aiden didn't fully believe in script scores at this point in his career as [Action Hero] itself had an average script score of 60 yet it grossed over 100 million dollars.
Even the system has clarified that script scores don't judge the mercial value of a movie. But it does judge where the story stands in various ways. And [The Black Saint] was at the top in that regard.
But…
"I just feel like I will truly lose my mind if I play something like this. Kai, I played him well in the first part. It was doable but we never took a peek into his thoughts a lot. This sequel is totally about that. It's one of the most tragic stories I have read."
Aiden voiced out his concerns and Zavier gave an expression of realisation. He had lost himself in writing the script so much that he forgot how much of a difficult character Kai was.
Yes, he was a maniac killer but his thoughts were the bitter truths of reality. He believed that people were animals in the true sense and society was there to tame it. He was the personification of the darkest sides of a human.
People related to him because of that.
If you took a deeper dive into his story and what made him like that, then that made for a very tragic story. It was basically about him getting out of the gripe of society and fighting towards a singular goal.
That was to rise above morals and truly bee a god.
"But you need to do it. No one other than you could."
Zavier said, trying to persuade Aiden.
"I know that but I was in therapy just at the start of this year. I feel like I would go back to it again after this role."
He laughed, trying to ease his nerves. With the growing level of immersion, it was hard to say what would happen if he did this role.
Kai August might bee the end of him.
"I understand where you are ing from. I feel like you would only be able to make a decision after thinking about it for a few days. That's pletely fine with me. I was going to give you time anyway since you just returned from a shooting. I am going to have some meetings with Granite films on it and hopefully start the first schedule of this in December."
Zavier informed Aiden. For the record, Granite films were extremely excited about producing a sequel as [Black Saints] was a huge hit for them. Hollywood strived for sequels and they didn't want to fall back on this successful formula.
'December — [Agnas] will release then too.'
He thought in his mind. It was currently the last week of September, so Aiden had two months in between. He was going to finish up and do some drafts on the game. Deciding on [The Black Saint] was an additional worry on top of it.
He felt like he would be thinking about it a lot.
"Okay, I will contact you in a few days."
Aiden said and gave one last glance to the script.

"This is looking like a nice scene.
