American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

When he heard Luo Yin talking about the current situation of Hollywood studios, a look flashed in Colin's eyes, and he immediately asked.

"In other words, Paramount's situation is not good now?"

"It's not just bad, it's simply terrible."

Paramount's success was influenced by the Great Depression. Two years ago, it merged with Pablix, which owned many theaters, and gradually became a major Hollywood production company. However, it is precisely for this reason that

This led to chaos and conflicting leadership within the studio, a situation that was particularly fatal during the Great Depression.

"It is said that in the high-level meeting within Paramount, the top leaders have long been uninterested in film production, and internal conflicts have come to light..."

In fact, Paramount has been in a downturn since the acquisition of Publix.

Last year alone, the studio's profits fell by two-thirds, and this year it has gone straight into the red.

Hearing Luo Yin's description, Colin nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Colin, what do you want?"

On the other side, Luo Yin noticed the change in the expression on his face and quickly reacted.

"Have some ideas."

In this regard, Colin did not deny his thoughts about Paramount.

With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of us, it would be a lie to say that we are not attracted by it.

Especially once the studio is in control, it seems possible to produce a live-action Superman movie.

No matter how bad it is, a musical version of "Superman" won't be a problem.

However, compared to the thoughts that are stirring in his heart, Colin is very aware of the huge gap between himself and Paramount.

It is not a simple matter to acquire a large product factory that has lost more than 10 million yuan in less than half a year. At least, for the current Courier Newspaper Company, this is a huge problem. In his hands

But we don’t have that much money to buy a studio.

Wait a minute, the Reconstruction Finance Act?!

However, just when Colin thought that he was about to miss such a golden opportunity.

The news report he had seen on the train about Hoover signing the "Reconstruction Finance Act" suddenly flashed across the screen.

Perhaps, this is a way.

If he remembered correctly, the so-called "Reconstruction Finance Act" did play some role later. In the first three years after the establishment of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, nearly $2 billion in loans were issued each year, although this amount was not enough to

The country emerged from economic troubles, but it did provide liquidity to the financial system.

Of course, saying this is not to boast about the quality of Hoover's policy.

But because Colin knew that there were actually many hidden problems in the loan issuance of the Reconstruction Finance Act. The agency's original plan was to help rescue small banks in rural areas of the United States that usually could not obtain loans from the Federal Reserve. However,

The reality is that railroads controlled by some of the wealthiest families and companies received $264 million in loans.

Later, due to corruption, it finally ceased operations in 1957.

Regardless of the outcome of the Reconstruction Finance Act, he is clearly a good candidate for now.

Once Colin is able to convince the reconstruction finance company and obtain a loan, Paramount's acquisition problem will be solved.

Of course, Colin will not put all his hopes on rebuilding the financial company.

Judging from what Luo Yin said, although Paramount is currently in deep trouble, there is still some time before it actually goes bankrupt.

If he can raise enough funds within this period of time, then he may not need to resort to Hoover's law to rescue him.

This may be impossible for ordinary people.

However, for Colin, it is not completely hopeless.

After all, he holds "Superman" in his hands.

"If possible, I hope Luo Yin can help me pay more attention to Paramount news."

"no problem."

Disney Studios was originally located in Hollywood, because Luo Yin did not refuse Colin's request.

Although, he is not very optimistic about the other party's idea of ​​acquiring Paramount.

But this does not affect his selling favors to Colin. After all, Disney and Colin are still in a harmonious cooperation stage.

Each other's works will also make guest appearances in each other's comics and animations in the coming period.

…

After confirming the news about Paramount, Colin did not stay in Los Angeles any longer.

He took the train and returned to New York.

Soon, the "Superman and Mickey Interaction Comic" was published in the new issue of "The Courier".

In this era, interactive comics are still a brand new concept.

When readers see Mickey Mouse appearing in Superman comics, they naturally show a novel appearance.

In this issue of the comic, Pluto discovers a mysterious passageway entrance in the basement. Through this entrance, Mickey comes to the metropolis where Superman lives. By a strange combination of circumstances, he is kidnapped by a group of metropolitan criminals.

Kidnapped, and at the critical moment, Superman appeared and rescued Mickey.

Superman noticed the specialness of Mickey and warmly welcomed the guests in this fairy tale world. He also warmly invited Mickey Mouse to visit the metropolis he protected.

In the process, Mr. Troublemaker, who had failed a bet with Superman and was forced to return to the five-dimensional world, reappeared and used his abilities to turn the entire metropolis into a Mickey-style fairy tale world. All the trees and buildings seemed to be...

It's like having life.

It is worth mentioning that this cartoon has a fairy tale background.

It was written by Walt Disney, and he also created the fairy tale image of Superman under the influence of Mr. Troublemaker's abilities, making this comic strip full of Disney fairy tale style.

Of course, at the end of the comic, Superman successfully tricked Mr. Troublemaker into saying his name backwards.

Superman: "Dongdong! Knocking action"

Mr. Troublemaker: "A joke? I love jokes! Who's knocking on the door? Surprise"

Superman: "Sneak trouble..."

Mr. Trouble: "Who is Trouble? Oh no! Annoyance"

In the comics, Mr. Troublemaker had to return to his own dimension because he said his name backwards. Under the influence of his ability, Metropolis, which turned into a Disney-style city, returned to normal again. And Mickey also thought that he was still in

Pluto at home said goodbye to Superman and returned to his own fairy tale world.
