Chapter 379 Marvel
"The conditions are not yet ripe."
Allen wasn't over-the-top. When Su Chen said he wanted to engage in Marvel, he really did.
Su Chen didn't expect to force Allen to rebel at once, he nodded: "Yes, the current conditions are not very mature, but we still need to make sufficient preparations, and the investment in the animation department and ILM is still the standard I said .”
"Understood." Allen said seriously: "Boss, I will do a careful research and give you a report."
"Man, you can deal with it as you see it. I don't have so much time to deal with these things." Su Chen said: "I will fly back to New York soon, and then transfer back to Boston to go to school."
Allen said with a smile: "Boss, then you have to come to Hollywood often. By the way, do you want to arrange something for you tonight?"
"That's great." Su Chen blinked: "Dude, I have to say, you are really caring, and I'm starting to think about raising your salary."
Allen looked serious: "As the boss's subordinate, it is my responsibility to share the boss's worries. Boss, don't worry, I will arrange it beautifully tonight."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Su Chen nodded.
In the evening, Allen really arranged a wonderful program for Su Chen.
Su Chen naturally did not refuse anyone who came.
Fully demonstrate that he is an old-fashioned look, eat and get cards, and don't miss everything.
Tell people if there is anything wrong:
"I want to sleep with you (I want to sleep with you)."
An authentic lewd and cheap accent.
"come no." Shirley became angry: "Sue, if you don't have the balls to fuck me and Jennifer, you're a loser."
The meaning of this sentence is: Come on, if you don't plant me and Jennifer, you are useless.
Faced with the provocation, Su Chen naturally would not back down, and stood up: "I will help my big brother from China take a bath first, and I will introduce you to you later. Although your legs are very long, you still have to put them on my shoulders .”
As an old driver with a US driver's license, he naturally has his own experience on how to take care of cars.
It is best to lift the car with a lift every day to prevent uneven suspension force.
The engine oil should also be stirred several times every now and then, for fear of damage to the oil seal of the engine oil pan if it is still for a long time.
Wax at least once every three days to prevent the car paint from deteriorating and discoloring.
Every hour or so of driving, change the engine oil, fearing that the metal impurities in the engine oil will wear the cylinder wall.
I never use a towel when washing the car. I am afraid that the towel will be mixed with small sand particles to damage the car paint, so I just lick it with my tongue.
The most important thing is that it is usually placed in the garage, and when it needs to go out, he is the one who pushes it behind.
Two more days in Los Angeles.
As for what happened, don't ask.
To ask is to sleep.
After finding time to call the airport and say that he could take off, Su Chen was ready to leave for New York.
Before leaving, he said: "Xue Li, no one will take you to Hong Kong for the time being. You should stay in Hollywood for a while. When the time comes, I will send someone to take you to Hong Kong."
"If I go to Hong Kong, will I not see you for a while?" Shirley asked.
Su Chen nodded: "Naturally, you should arrange Jennifer first during this time."
"Understood, I will take good care of your little girlfriend." Shirley said: "After all, we are on the same boat now, aren't we? And I have such a close relationship with Jennifer now, as we are both sisters, we will naturally arrange it for you. "
"Okay, I'll take care of you."
Su Chen turned his head and said to Jennifer: "You stay at 20th Century Fox first. During the period when Shirley is not going to Hong Kong, you follow her first, and she will arrange it for you."
"I understand, I will listen to Shirley, but you must remember to come to Hollywood more." Jennifer nodded.
Su Chen continued: "There is also Basinger, who also helped me arrange it. I will feel more at ease when I leave these matters to you."
Shirley said: "Okay, we have all slept together, I will help you arrange it, and by the way, I will miss you."
……
After staying in Hollywood for more than a week, Su Chen returned to New York.
Because he had to go to see Marvel, he originally wanted to go to San Francisco to see ILM and Cisco, but he didn't have that much time, and he didn't have enough resources, so he had to go to New York first.
First, I went to the Flatiron District to meet Miranda and Avril Lavigne, then met Cao Jiaxin who came back from San Francisco, and went to the Marvel headquarters.
Speaking of Marvel, apart from its founder and Stan Lee, another person has to be mentioned.
Jack Kirby.
After losing the violent mention of comics, many American comic publishing houses have collapsed, and Marvel Comics was able to stand out during the low period of American comics as a whole.
It is because Jack Kirby cooperated with Stan Lee to cater to the interests of young readers and create a batch of new comic works. Typical representatives in the period include the well-known "Fantastic Four", "Hulk", "Spider-Man" ".
This batch of comic works won the love of comic fans as soon as they were born in the comic market, and Marvel immediately occupied a considerable market share.
Among them, the birth of "Fantastic Four" marks the direction of Marvel comics from individual heroes to hero teams.
What came into being was the now-famous "X-Men" series.
After that, it launched a highly popular combination of Marvel heroes, the all-star lineup "The Avengers".
But even so, Marvel Comics still encounters a huge problem in its operation, that is, the traditional business model is difficult to support the development needs of Marvel, and it is even more difficult to preserve the survival of Marvel.
That's why Su Chen stepped in.
However, since the company was acquired, there has been some restlessness among employees within the company.
I am afraid that I will lose my job at any time, including Stan Lee and his right-hand man Roy Thomas.
As early as 1961, Stan Lee planned to resign and find another job.
Later, the founder, Goodman, planned to build a team of heroic characters, which led to the current series of works.
"I don't think we can keep waiting like this." Thomas came to Stan Lee's office and said seriously: "Man, we don't know what the new boss has plans now, or we can ask the new boss what he means, if not If not, we'll all just resign."
Stan Lee looked at the picture book in his hand, hesitating a little.
As an editor and author, he created 80% of Marvel's well-known characters and has been with Marvel for so many years.
In the company, Stan Lee almost single-handedly took over the screenwriting work of the entire Marvel product line.
Such a heavy workload has formed Marvel's own method-an artist who can write scripts is a good employee: screenwriters and editors propose a story outline; the artist decides the development of the story according to the outline, and draws comics with a specified number of pages; the screenwriter gets the line Revised after the draft, and finally wrote the final script.
That's how Marvel creates.
But if you want to move the comics to the screen, you need the link mentioned earlier.
Indispensable.
Otherwise, it's an absolute piece of shit.
Similarly, as the old saying goes, before the millennium, it was impossible to transfer comics to movies.
Since the 70s, Stan Lee has been under heavy pressure. He was busy calming down the company's shock caused by Kobe's departure. At this time, Saul Brodsky said goodbye to him.In the company, things are changing and people are changing.
This isn't the first time Stan Lee has watched the people who built Marvel go away: In 1941, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby were gone.
In 1949 he was forced to lay off his freelance painters; in 1957 he was forced to lay off his staff.
Up to now, the company is probably going to have another personnel turmoil, and he doesn't know how long he can work in Marvel.
Just at this time, a guy suddenly ran in, panting and said: "Chairman, the new boss is here!"
"What? The new boss is here?" Stan Lee came back to his senses, glanced at Thomas, and stood up quickly: "Let's go out to meet the new boss."
Even if they don't want to continue working in the company, etiquette is still necessary, and they also want to know what the new boss has planned for the company.
Although Stan Lee is now the chairman of the company, it does not mean that he can make all decisions about the company's development.
As soon as I came out of the office, I saw the Chinese woman who had bought the company before, and she was accompanied by a young Chinese guy.
"Hello, Grace." Stan Lee, Thomas and others reached out and shook Cao Jiaxin's hand.
Cao Jiaxin responded one by one, and then said: "Everyone, let me introduce you, this is the boss of the company, Su."
Hearing that Su Chen was the boss of the company, several people hurriedly shook hands to say hello and introduced themselves in turn.
Su Chen looked around, there were Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Frank Miller, Jim Lee and others.
These are Marvel's most charismatic authors.
After greeting these people, Su Chen said: "Guys, I only have a few things to announce to you today, but before that, I want to visit the company."
"Okay boss." Stan Lee nodded hastily.
To be honest, this is the first time Su Chen has come to Marvel.
After going upstairs and downstairs, everyone came to Stan Lee's office.
During the visit, Su Chen did not express any opinions, which caused many people present to worry about whether they would lose their jobs. If the new boss wanted to lay off employees, they would have to find another job.
But now, the entire comics market is in a slump, and I'm at a loss as to where to go.
Stan Lee made coffee, poured it for Su Chen and Cao Jiaxin, and poured it for the guys in turn.
"Guys, sit down. If you don't have a stool, you can just sit on the table or on the floor." Seeing the serious faces of these people, Su Chen couldn't help but said, "Damn it, you all fucked up!" So what are you serious about?"
Everyone in the office couldn't help but look at each other.
After putting down the coffee pot, Stan Lee glanced at the guys and said, "Since the boss has ordered, let's sit down."
As he said that, he took the lead and sat on the chair opposite Su Chen, and the others also began to find places to sit down, some sat on the floor, and some simply sat on the table.
Su Chen took a sip of coffee, and then said: "Guys, thank you and your colleagues who are busy outside for your hard work, allowing Marvel to go through such a long time."
"First of all, I want to reward you guys with 100 million. This is my personal money. Of course, not everyone has 100 million. We have to reward for our merits. As the CEO, Li, editor-in-chief Thomas and Frank, Jim, you guys may get a little more, and the guys down there will get a little less."
Two sentences, let everyone present be confused.
