American Manga Comes to the Motherland

Bai Ye curled his lips.

I told you that she was from a wealthy family, but you didn't believe me.

Do you know how powerful it is now?

Finished a cigarette.

…

Sunset dusk.

Baiye drove away from the snap company and prepared to find Ikana.

Mercury Media's role in Bai Ye is getting bigger and bigger now, so it's better to implement things as soon as possible.

He saw Ikana again.

Ikana wears a close-fitting and soft senior knitted sweater, and a windbreaker with drapey fabric on the outside. The overall look is very high-quality.

It is worth mentioning that the inner layer is a light brown high collar, the outer layer is off-white, and even the high boots are tried to match the color of the inner layer. One dark and one light color, and the material is soft on the outside and hard on the inside, achieving incomparable harmony. The overall feeling is elegant and elegant.

"I've helped you with everything you asked for." Ikana threw a pile of documents in front of Bai Ye and complained: "I was working in the company before, and I was so confused by your phone call. .”

"It's really an important thing." Bai Ye shamelessly took out the file, looked at it, and said, "I also had an idea of ​​an IP movie universe."

"Cinematic Universe?"

"The so-called movie universe is a movie concept with multi-dimensional character frameworks and plot stories to share or form a unified world view. The movie universe does not only refer to a series of movies, but can include multiple series of movies. Simple In other words, it’s like turning a ‘movie’ into a ‘television series’.”

"For example, DC Comics has countless superheroes. We can shoot single-player movies of multiple heroes and combine them into a "Justice League" drama."

——In the Marvel world, there are DC comics, just as the DC world also has Marvel comics.

"Your idea is very interesting." Ikana thought for a moment and said, "But are you sure you can form a so-called movie universe with just some urban ghost stories?"

"It depends on people." Bai Ye shrugged and said: "I have also recently become addicted to New York Strange Tales and watched more, so I came up with the idea of ​​a movie universe. In addition to the so-called ghost Spider-Man, there are also Night Stalkers in New York. Legends such as killers, bandit civets, green giants, etc., we can completely mix these strange stories into one world view and shoot multiple series of movies."

"You really have a lot of imagination..."

Ikana said with a headache.

The most important thing in business is stability, but doing business in the middle of the night relies on willfulness, and Ikana doesn't know what to say when she thinks about it.

This movie universe sounds very good, and it is certainly good if it can be developed. However, good things may not necessarily be correct. What if the development fails? It will definitely be a mess.

"What stupid things are you talking about? I don't like riding in convertibles, so how can I be so imaginative?" Bai Ye made a hellish joke and handed Ikana a folder: "Look at this. Like? I didn’t just ask you to do something without any preparation, I have already completed a script."

Ikana opened the folder and saw the name of the script - "Spider-Man".

That's right, Byakuya transformed the plot of Tobi Spider's movie and showed it to Ikana.

The content is generally the same, but there are some changes. For example, the villain is not the Osborn Group, but the Rockson Group. The name of the pig's foot is not Peter Parker, but Harry Parker, and the heroine is not Instead of calling her Mary Jane, she called her Kenm, and a series of other changes. In short, it definitely has nothing to do with the reality of this world.

"That guy Harry, if he knew that, he would definitely be very moved. I didn't even forget to help you pick up girls when I wrote the movie script!"

My stupid Ou Doudou, look how much my elder brother loves you!

Ikana read the script very carefully, of course, not word for word, but the outline of the story.

While watching, she asked:

"Bai Ye, I've also read the story about the ghost spider. It's obvious that she's a girl. You just turned into a blue kid. Is that really okay?"

"So Ikana, tell me, in current movies, do the movies focus more on the male perspective, or the female perspective?"

“There are many male-oriented audiences.”

Ikana thought for a moment and then gave the answer.

This matter is actually very simple, and it is not gender discrimination or anything. It is simply that both men and women like to watch movies from a male perspective, but men do not like to watch movies from a female perspective.

So in Ikana's view, after Byakuya changes the gender of Spider-Man, it can be used by both men and women. This is actually a very good idea.

"That's right!" Bai Ye said, "Now that the feminist movement is indeed on the rise, movies from a female perspective will become more and more popular, but for now, movies from a male perspective still occupy the mainstream."

A long while.

Ikana closed the folder, nodded and said:

"This is a great story!"

Although Ikana is not a professional practitioner in Hollywood, she has been crazily making up her homework in this area during this time, and she can still understand the script.

"Really?" Bai Ye grinned, taking the credit on himself without hesitation, and said with a smile: "This is a story I created (copied) after racking my brains, how could it not be good-looking? Woolen cloth?"

He pointed to his head:

"In addition to this story, the general story of developing the movie universe has a direction, so the movie universe can definitely be advanced."

"Bai Ye, there is a question that I am really confused about..."

"What?"

"You can open a financial company to make money, and you can write a script that is comparable to that of a Hollywood screenwriter. Then how did you turn yourself into a waste before?"

"Haha, there's something wrong with your way of thinking. I've always been me, and I've always been doing what I like to do. I used to spend a lot of time, that's what I wanted to do, but I have no money later, so I must make money. Now I have money and want to make movies for fun, so I will start studying how to make good movies. I am now the eldest son of the Osborne family. Whether I am a waste or an elite, is there a big difference to me? ?”

Ikana had to admit that this made sense.

Bai Ye was born in the Osborn family, and he was born a Draco. Whether he wanted to be a good-for-nothing Draco who could only spit bubbles, or he wanted to be a five-old star and a red-haired one, for him, the quality of life would not be the same. What changes have occurred?

Ikana put her chin on her hand and said:

"But then, a question arises. Originally, the two of us were planning to take "The Hunger Games" as Mercury Media's first film. Now that we have the script of "Spider-Man," which one should we shoot first? "

——Mercury Media has been established, with a registered capital of US$1.5 billion already in the company's account. Even if Mercury Media does not acquire Summit Entertainment, it will definitely acquire other small and medium-sized film companies and start filming movies.

"Just shoot "The Hunger Games" first, and then "Spider-Man"." Bai Ye said casually: "It's not a big deal."

"As you said before, Bai Ye, with the rise of the feminist movement, the audience for movies with a female perspective will grow more and more. But so far, the mainstream is still movies with a male perspective, and it may always be so in the future..." Ikana said: "So, Baiye, don't you think that "Spider-Man" is actually more suitable as the first work of our Mercury Media?"

"Well……"

Bai Ye thought about it for a moment. As the first work of Mercury Media, "The Hunger Games" was mainly because Bai Ye wanted to use the film's promotional ability to try to gain fans. The secondary reason was because it was a movie with a female protagonist. It's very suitable to shoot for Tangtang, now it's "Spider-Man"...

How should I put it, this is related to Bai Ye’s future grand strategy.

In fact, it really doesn’t matter which one is shot first.

"It's up to you. I'm not very interested in operations. I'll shoot whichever one you think is suitable first!"

"Then it's settled!" Ikana made the decision: "We will shoot "Spider-Man" first, and then "The Hunger Games". Our Mercury Media will definitely be a great success."

"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance, CEO of Mercury Media, Miss Ikana."

Bai Ye joked.

"The top priority now is to complete the acquisition of Summit Entertainment first!" Ikana said: "With Mercury Media's huge cash flow of US$1.5 billion, even without Summit Entertainment, it will definitely be able to do great things, but the acquisition Summit Entertainment is indeed the most cost-effective approach.”

Hearing Ikana talk about cost-effectiveness, Bai Ye couldn't help but think of one thing: when he was in college, there was a guy who borrowed money from his roommates in order to chase a girl in his class. He sat next to the girl every day and told her After listening to different jokes, he would take her out to eat out after class. During the holidays, he would buy flowers, watches and snacks. In the dormitory, he often ate instant noodles and hot-dried noodles that cost 5 yuan a portion, and sometimes he would not bear to eat them. This time he finally made an appointment to travel with a girl, but the girl brought her best friend. He spent 2,000 and his credit card was overdrawn.

We asked him how far along he was. He said it was peripheral. We ask, what periphery? He said and held hands. Everyone in the girls' dormitory couldn't stand it anymore. One girl's roommate secretly told him that the girl often said in her dormitory that he was a loser and not her boyfriend. In other words, she only had contact with him for the delicious food.

After hearing this, Lao Liu stayed up that night. When he came back during the day, he looked tired. We were afraid that he would be irritated, so we asked him to rest quickly, otherwise we would chase another one. Unexpectedly, he said that he would no longer pursue or communicate with me. Only last night did I know what cost-effectiveness was.

Thinking of the past, Bai Ye couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ikana was confused.

"It's nothing. Well, it's time to move forward with the acquisition of Summit Entertainment." Bai Ye coughed twice and said, "I will accompany you to Los Angeles tomorrow to talk about this matter."

"Um."

Ikana nodded.

She has almost handed over all the important things in her company, and she can put her hands down and officially accept Mercury Media.

Well, originally there were many details, and she wanted to finish them all, but Bai Ye was too hasty and she couldn't bear it. What should she do? She could only focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones. She should be busy with Mercury Media first. , after all... the matters at home can only cost a few million or tens of millions of dollars at most. How can it compare to Mercury Media, which can easily run hundreds of millions of dollars in capital operations.

"It's getting late, let's go have dinner together?" Bai Ye looked at his phone and said, "We might as well continue discussing the rest of Mercury Media's affairs."

"OK."

Ikana did not refuse.

then.

She got into Bai Ye's car and came to a private restaurant that was not open to ordinary people.

"Bai Ye, you ordered so many oysters...can you finish them?"

Ikana looked at the large plate of oysters in front of the two of them speechlessly and said.

"Of course I can finish it!"

Bai Ye wore gloves, holding a knife in one hand, and an oyster in the other hand, with the convex side facing down and the flat side facing up. He found a gap, put the knife in through the gap, and opened it with a pry. Dip in red wine vinegar, chopped onion, black pepper and other spices, and then put it in your mouth.

"Hmm... very delicious! Veron oysters are well-deserved as the king of oysters."

French Peron oysters are known as the best of oysters and the "king of oysters". They are flat-shaped oysters and are produced at the mouth of the Peron River in France where salt and fresh water meet. Because the waters there are clear and rich in plankton, The oysters produced have distinct characteristics, with the flavor of sweet seaweed and iodine, and the aroma of stone fruits. They have a crisp and chewy texture, strong minerals, and even a slight irritation. Not everyone can accept it, but it makes them delicious. Many gourmets flock to it.

It usually takes four years for a Belon oyster to grow, and then two months of fattening in sea water to develop the unique flavor of the Belon oyster, with luscious meat and a fresh and tender taste. This top quality material makes people excited just hearing this wild name.

"Ikana, you should eat too, it's delicious."

Bai Ye had a bite of oysters and a bite of dry white Chardonnay from the Chablis region, and it was a pleasure to eat.

"I……"

Ikana sighed.

Oysters are aphrodisiacs. Before, Baiye's own physical fitness was enough to make Ikana uncomfortable. Now that so many oysters have come, Ikana feels that tonight, she is afraid that There is going to be a bloody disaster.

With grief and anger, Ikana also started eating.

Well, let’s not talk about it, Bellon oysters are quite delicious.

While eating dinner, Bai Ye started chatting:

"In addition to Summit Entertainment, you also need to register a comic company recently. The name of the company... let's call it Marvel Comics, and start serializing a story about a superhero worldview, just compare it to DC Comics. Spider-Man Harry Parker, as the first superhero..."

Working on Marvel comics in the Marvel world, Bai Ye thinks, it’s quite exciting.

Of course, the specific content cannot be copied from his previous life. It must undergo some local transformation. Just like Gwen's Spider-Woman was transformed into Spider-Man, Bai Ye cannot expose his identity as a "prophet".

Basically, for so-called superheroes, he creates a beginning, and the rest is left to the writers recruited by the company to create subsequent works.

He is the son of a chaebol, a top rich man worth tens of billions of dollars. Of course, he cannot give himself a headache all day long about how to copy.

The feeling of being able to activate money is still good.

"It would be great if you could buy DC comics." Ikana said: "Then your movie universe plan will have a real foundation. Directly apply the DC world view and use every superhero in it. To carry out IP development, instead of having to rack our brains to create timely creations and construct a hard superhero worldview like now."

"I'd like to, but how could Warner sell DC to us?" Bai Ye smiled and said, "If it had been 20 years earlier, maybe we would have had a chance to buy DC Comics, but now DC Comics has become the core of Warner Among the core interests, unless we can buy the entire Warner, otherwise... you better not think about it."

Ikana pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I just said it casually. Of course I know that Warner cannot sell DC Comics to us, and with Time Warner's market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, it seems that we can't afford it. Well, even if I won’t buy it even if I can afford it, but buying Time Warner just for a DC comic is too stupid and the price/performance ratio is too low.”

"That's right." Bai Ye nodded: "I won't buy it even if I can afford it."

In fact, Bai Ye really can't afford DC comics, but he doesn't buy them because he develops Marvel comics because he wants to vigorously develop the IP of the Motherland. The core of everything is to make money for this. Everything is secondary.

Moreover, Tony has already wielded a nuclear stick in a cave in Afghanistan. The curtain of the Marvel world is about to open. Marvel comics can create superheroes that exist in reality and can have continuous popularity. Compared with this , DC comics are nothing?

Now, Marvel Comics is indeed very weak when it first started, but when superheroes such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, Hulk, and Captain America have stepped onto the stage of the times, Marvel Comics will be very powerful.

After chatting for a long time about the development of Mercury Media, Bai Ye said:

"Ikana, I think you will be very busy during this period, so busy that you can't even touch the ground. Do you need any reward in advance? Just say it!"

"If you're rewarded..."

Ikana thought for a while and said:

"When I wear Gucci, my tears always come from Prada, Prada and Dior..."

white night:"……"

"No problem, I'll take you to the specialty store in a moment."

Isn’t it just Gucci, Prada and Dior? I’ll buy you as much as you want.

After eating the delicious food, Bai Ye took Ikana to go shopping. They visited major luxury stores and bought whatever Ikana wanted.

However, after only half an hour of shopping, Ikana received a call from her home, asking her to go back. Ikana could only say sorry to Bai Ye, and then carried shopping bags with large and small bags. He hurried home.

"You're cheating!" Bai Ye looked at Ikana's round back and said without tears: "I ate so many oysters just for the night, but you ran away halfway. What should I do? I will I couldn’t sleep all night!”

"Isn't this little bitch Ikana directing and acting on her own?"

Bai Ye was a little suspicious, but he was too lazy to pursue it. The question now was, who should he spend the night with?

After thinking about it, Baiye took a car to Tangtang's home.

When he arrived at the door of Tangtang's house, he took the key and opened the lock. When he opened the door, he saw a...

Peach.

In the center of the room, there is a yoga ball with a woman lying on it.

Turn your back to Bai Ye.

The figure is placed on the yoga ball in a posture of bending over, bending the knees, standing up, and raising the buttocks.

S-class curves, tightly attached to the tights.

So from Bai Ye's perspective, she could just see that round, almost perfect curve and proportion...peach butt.

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment.

Hearing the doorkeeper's voice, Tangtang turned around, saw Bai Ye, and blinked:

"Brother, why are you here!?"

Question: When you accidentally see a woman with a perfect figure, wearing a tights and doing yoga with her back to you, what will you do?

A: "Sorry" and exit the room.

B: "Sorry, ma'am", exit the room.

What would you say?

Bai Ye is a man who doesn't follow the ordinary path, so he took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, madam!"
