MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 69
Kevin brought two bodyguards and came directly to the living room of the house under the guidance of the nanny.
An old man with gray hair just raised his head and looked outside to meet Kevin's eyes.
Looking at Kevin's face, Stan Lee wondered:
"You are the president of Marvel? Isn't the president of Marvel Ronald Perelman?"
Since being squeezed out, Stan Lee has not heard anything from Marvel again except for the few percent of the shares left in his hands.
All the Marvel news he knew was from the newspapers.
The news of Marvel's change of president, under Kevin's arrangement, obviously did not reach Stan Lee's ears.
Kevin smiled slightly and explained:
"I bought 70% of Marvel's shares, and now I am the boss of Marvel, and I also hold the position of president."
Chapter 111 A Different Marvel Cinematic Universe
"Of course, I have another identity, and that is MGM's major shareholder Steve Kevin."
The nanny went directly to the kitchen and could not come out after Kevin gave five hundred dollars again, so the news was not disclosed to the public.
Otherwise, more or less in Hollywood is also going to set off a wave of turmoil.
"Steve Kevin?"
As he got older, his reaction and memory decreased, which made Stan Lee's reaction a little slower.
But it only took a few seconds for Stan Lee to recall the name.
No way, he has nothing to do on weekdays, the most thing he does is read the newspaper.
And Steve Kevin in the past few years, the number of times of landing in the newspapers of various newspapers is simply not too much.
He may not know a person, but he must know the name.
"That Hollywood director?"
Kevin nodded and acknowledged Stan Lee's words.
Stan Lee was instantly refreshed and politely said:
"Please sit down."
Kevin finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since Mr. Stan Lee has a harmonious attitude, it seems that the next things have been discussed.
He sat down.
Stan Lee then asked with a smile:
"That bastard, Ronald Perelman, finally sold Marvel, right? It's a good sale!"
"He almost sent Marvel, who I brought up with one hand, to hell. Do you think he is a big bastard?"
Kevin answered.
"Ronald Perelman has indeed done a lot of wrong things on top of Marvel's development. I bought Marvel precisely to revive Marvel's status in the American Marvel world."
"You know, I also grew up watching Marvel comics. I like Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four very much. I'm a big fan of Marvel."
For a creator, the happiest thing is to praise his works and express his love for his works.
Hearing this, Stan Lee burst into laughter.
Looking at Kevin's appearance became more pleasing to the eye.
The questioning is also very harmonious.
"Then why did you come to see me today?"
"I'm at this age, and if I really want to do it, I can't do anything."
Stan Lee asked as he shook his head, indicating that in this state, he was powerless to do anything.
Kevin said firmly:
"No, if Marvel wants to rise, you can't do it unless you are an old man."
"I don't know if you know something."
"What's up?"
Stan Lee asked curiously.
"Ronald Perelman sold X-Men and Fantastic Four movie rights for cabbage prices."
"so what?"
Stan Lee asked curiously, there seems to be nothing wrong with Marvel selling copyright.
Kevin did not answer directly, but instead asked:
"Father, do you want to see that many heroes of Marvel appear together in one movie."
"Imagine Spider-Man swinging over the city of New York, Iron Man flying over New York City wearing a steel suit, Thor wielding the hammer in his hand, and the Hulk showing his incomparable power."
"They are together in New York City, fighting the enemy as an alliance..."
Following Kevin's words, Stan Lee's eyes that had lost their light suddenly lit up as if they had found a new dream.
Following Kevin's words, Stan Lee thought about it on the big screen and saw the superheroes he created fighting against the enemy who wanted to invade the earth.
That kind of picture, thinking about it, makes one's blood boil.
But in this way, Stan Lee was suddenly heartbroken, and the X-Men and the Fantastic Four were sold, which meant that they couldn't appear in the same movie.
Stan Lee couldn't help asking:
"So, what do you mean?"
Kevin secretly smiled in his heart, this is not a trick, it's just arousing the old man's initiative to do things.
Not to mention anything else, when Kevin wrote novels and scripts in his previous life, why didn't he think about being able to put them on the big screen?
This may be the dream of every creator.
Looking at Mr. Stan Lee's questioning, Kevin explained:
"I named it the Marvel Cinematic Universe Project."
"Through a main main storyline, for example, the earth is about to usher in a certain great enemy, and heroes from all walks of life gather to fight against this powerful enemy."
"Through the film, step by step, each superhero is arranged to appear in the film."
"Now, we need a specific design that thoroughly connects these heroes."
"As the creator of many heroes of Marvel, I think this task should be handed over to you."
"Also, the premise of this plan is that we want to take back the film rights that were sold."
Stan Lee's expression froze, as if thinking about the feasibility of the Marvel Cinematic Universe proposed by Kevin.
After a while, Stan Lee smiled and said:
"Okay, but I have a request."
"any request?"
Stan Lee agreed to come out, Kevin naturally had nothing to say, as long as he didn't ask too much, he would naturally satisfy.
Stan Lee smiled slyly.
"The first superhero must be Spider-Man."
"no problem."
Kevin thought it was a request.
It turned out to be Spider-Man as the first superhero to appear, which Kevin can fully agree to.
In fact, in the past life, Marvel used Iron Man as the first hero to appear as a last resort.
Marvel's most famous IP, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Hulk, X-Men, are almost sold by Marvel.
This led to the last, Marvel's last fight, actually using a second-tier comic character.
Now, the Marvel universe in Kevin's hands is still complete, only the loss of the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.
Both Spider-Man and Hulk are there.
In such a case, it is best to start with a small spider.
But in this case, Tobey Maguire's version of Spider-Man may not have a chance to appear.
This point needs to be carefully considered later.
The Spider-Man trilogy has made a lot of money, and Kevin doesn't think so much about letting this special series go.
Of course, he will find a way to get the copyright back. Although it cannot be the first wave of superheroes that inspired the era of superhero movies, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men can both be in the same movie as other Marvel characters in the future. in the universe.
Chapter 112 The Critics' Views
"Okay, shall we go now?"
Stan Lee got up slowly, and was about to pack up and head to Marvel.
"Don't worry, old man, let me rent you a house next to the company. If there is a salary, the annual salary is $500,000. See if there is any problem."
Stan Lee is a very resolute old man. After agreeing to Kevin's request, he will go to Marvel to start work immediately.
But it was stopped by Kevin.
For an old man of this age, Kevin will give himself all the treatment he can give.
The rent is next to the company, and the money is enough. At the same time, Kevin will also provide him with a special doctor.
The working hours every day should not be too long. Of course, Kevin, who has memories of his previous life, knows that Mr. Stan Lee is still in good health.
Well maintained, no accident, can live for more than 20 years.
These times are enough for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is more perfect and more eye-catching than the previous life, to appear completely.
"Thank you, Kevin."
Be able to do what you love, be able to witness your dreams appear on the big screen, and be able to make money.
Kevin's sincerity, Stan Lee felt very clearly.
Immediately made a decision, we must do a good job in the Marvel Universe and make it perfect.
......
After negotiating the working time with the old man, he agreed on a time for someone to pick him up.
Kevin drove to USC again.
He is looking for a person who is very important to Marvel, that is, Kevin Feige, the original president of Marvel.
As a Marvel fan and DC fan, Kevin knows everything about Marvel and DC related people or things.
Among them, Kevin Feige's origin, Kevin happens to know something.
And Kevin Feige is also very close to him.
There is also Kevin in the name, and he is also a student of the University of Southern California. He is his junior.
If he can be brought into Marvel's banner early, he will surely be able to share a lot of Kevin's workload.
On the other side, in the Warner Theatre.
The movie has gotten to the bottom of the second half of The Dark Knight.
The peak showdown between The Joker and Batman is also the ultimate test of human nature.
The news of the Joker's plan to blow up a bridge in Gotham City caused panic among the Gotham City administration. In order to protect the masses, they put citizens and criminals on two separate boats.
Used to prevent both of them from being hurt by the clown.
Unexpectedly, all this was what the clown hoped, when all this happened.
The Joker installed explosives on each of the two ships ahead of time.
