The Knights of the DC House

After coming out of the negotiation building and looking at the sunshine shining on him, Ke Wen still felt that everything that had just happened was a bit dreamy. Because he saw with his own eyes Lena using her own advantages to suppress the negotiation teams of several film and television giants.

Taking the initiative of discourse into his own hands, after almost a day of negotiations, he basically divided the superhero copyrights held by Ke Wen's consortium B into several parts.

The Kamen Rider series will be filmed by the new streaming media giant Netflix. The finalized first "Kamen Rider W" will be filmed in all episodes and all episodes will be released directly. In terms of filming,

Consortium B, as the copyright provider, will have an editorial team responsible for the Kamen Rider comic series to follow up and provide reference opinions on the screenwriter. Of course, this screenwriter is Ke Wen himself, after all, the original script of the Kamen Rider comic series

, all provided by him, a Cavaliers fan for ten years.

In this regard, in this DC universe, Ke Wen can be proud to say that no one understands the spirit and meaning of the four words Kamen Rider better than himself. Ke Wen also has a say in casting,

Then when Ke Wen, the original author, conflicts with the director and screenwriter on plot modifications, he can report his opinions to Lena, who is the major shareholder, and the management of Netflix, and they will negotiate on the opinions provided by them, and then

Finalize opinions.

Next, there is the profit aspect, because "Kamen Rider W" can be said to be Ke Wen's pioneering work in the DC universe that truly popularized the concept of Kamen Rider. No one has tested the waters before, so once it is obtained

profit, Netflix accounts for 70% of the profits, and Consortium B accounts for 30%. It only covers film and television works, and the peripheral products derived from its film and television works are 50% to 50%.

"Why is it only 30%?" A few hours ago, Ke Wen asked curiously after hearing the final result of Lena's negotiation with Netflix.

"So, you guy, you can run that company until now without going bankrupt. I can only say that you are lucky. No one thought that you were the Kamen Rider and saved the world so many times. In your hands,

There are also the copyrights of Batman and The Flash, the most popular superheroes in the world. Let me ask you, have you ever made a movie or made a TV series?"

Lena asked Ke Wen back there. Ke Wen shook his head and then reacted, "No, you haven't made a movie before. Could it be that you..."

Looking at Ke Wen's eyes that changed color, Lena showed a kind smile, and then Ke Wen shut up, pinched his ears and knelt on the floor consciously. By the way, he consciously took out his mobile phone from his pocket and put it on his knees.

Ke Wen was so sensible that Lena didn't have to do anything and continued to say: "Lex Group itself covers a wide range of fields. Although it is mainly in technology and new energy, no one can have too much money.

Well, so we have also dabbled in film investment, but it is just investment. As the saying goes, I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run away, especially in IP-type film and television works like yours.

There is also a saying.”

Having said this, Lena also temporarily stopped her science education, and Ke Wen looked at the empty cup in front of Lena, and consciously moved to the coffee machine on his knees, and then handed over the filled coffee.

"Sensible~" She commented on Ke Wen before continuing: "What is the biggest foundation for turning your IP into a real-life series? It's the fans. If you want to turn this IP into a real-life series, you must first promote it and let the fans

They built up momentum, and then deployed a professional team to use various publicity channels that occupied people's lives to let fans and unrelated passers-by know that such a work was going to be made into a film and television. Then, capital came in and got the

After the filming starts and the film is released, the capital will be repaid in full, and the profits from fans and passers-by will be divided into 30/70 shares."

Oh, it turns out that’s the truth. Ke Wen suddenly understood and nodded. After a while, he felt that the content of the conversation was a bit familiar. Lena also found Ke Wen’s novice look interesting and took a sip of coffee before saying:

"As for you, you are just testing the waters. It's not like no one has made similar superhero movies before, but they are all fictional. In addition, our world itself has superheroes, and the impact is just like that.

If you are making a live-action adaptation of a comic authorized by Batman, then we must have more initiative here. Now, you can give us 30%, which is considered to be the face of your Kamen Rider who has saved the world many times.

Already."

Back to the present time, Ke Wen can't say anything about the popularity Lena has given to him. After all, he is indeed a novice in this area. However, Lena has also helped himself to gain enough benefits to allow himself to participate in Persona.

In the live-action production of the Knight, I still have a certain say in it, and I also hold the copyright. There is a high probability that there will not be the kind of incident where the screenwriter and the producer let themselves go and persecute the Knight, probably.

In this regard, Ke Wen does not have much confidence. Regarding the copyrighted live-action film and television production of other superheroes with the same name in his company, although Lena is also in charge of it and the talks are almost complete, these old foxes are also waiting. They are all

Waiting for the response from Ke Wen's first work in the Kamen Rider live-action series, only if they see the benefits and benefits can they make the next big production. And the only thing Ke Wen can do is to

The copyright is firmly in hand and cannot be allowed to be messed with.

Another thing he wanted to do was accomplished. Ke Wen also felt that the day was quite good. "Then next, is it time to talk to that Celebration Monster? We can't find Soda in this universe. Let him come."

It’s not impossible, I just don’t know if he will agree or not. Don’t ask me to shoot a Watts series for him when the time comes. That would be really disgusting.” Walking on the street, Ke Wen was also talking to himself, before.

When dealing with the Anti-Monitor, Watts, the celebratory monster, also helped him a lot.

He also remembered the condition that Watts proposed at that time, to be the protagonist of the Kamen Rider live-action TV series in this universe. The two protagonists are also the protagonists, so there should be no big problem. Thinking like this, Ke Wen is also preparing to return to work.

After dinner, I went to talk to this guy Watts about this matter. However, when Ke Wen passed by the city park, he saw many passers-by gathered here, as well as several media workers.

Huh? There are still melons to eat at this point? Looking at the passers-by who formed a circle in front of him, Ke Wen also wondered. Out of curiosity, he also moved over. Immediately afterwards, he saw such a scene.

In the city park, there is a statue of himself transformed into Kamen Rider W and Kara. One is flying in the sky and the other is riding a motorcycle. The facial statues of Kara and himself, and the mouths, are all painted with red paint.

A smiley face was painted on, and clown eye makeup was applied to Kara's eye statue.

On the chest of Ke Wen's knight statue, the following sentence was written in yellow paint: Hahaha, Kamen Rider, you are a joke! The passers-by onlookers were taking pictures and accusing the man who was on the statue of the hero in their city.

The guy who was scribbling graffiti and the patrolling policeman were asking the security guard in charge of this area of ​​the park if he had seen any suspicious people. But for Ke Wen, at this time, the accusations from passers-by, the media reports, and the police questioning were all...

It's no longer the point.

His eyes were only focused on the words on the statue and the smeared makeup. Without saying a word, the original mood because Kamen Rider could finally start to be transformed into a live-action TV series disappeared at this moment, and his expression was serious.

He just left the park quietly.

At night, at the Planetary Detective Agency, Ke Wen and Zatana were having a simple dinner there, and Zatana also noticed that Ke Wen was in a somewhat abnormal state at this time. Usually at this time, Ke Wen had already consciously given up to himself.

The rice was served, but now, Ke Wen was just poking at the already empty bowl with his chopsticks, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hey, are you okay?" Seeing Ke Wen's distraught look, Zatanna no longer wanted to eat, so she asked.

"Ah? Oh, I forgot to serve you rice," Zatana interrupted his thoughts. Ke Wen, who came back to his senses, also stood up and took the bowl Zatana put in front of him, served it with rice, and handed it over.

come over.

Seeing that Ke Wen had no intention of talking, Zatanna didn't ask any more questions and just ate there silently. After dinner, Zatanna sat on the sofa and watched TV, while Ke Wen also consciously washed the dishes.

After a long time, Ke Wen, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, said.

"Xiao Zha, how about you go back to the Tower of Destiny to see your father during this time?"

"How long will it take to go back?"

"One week, one week is enough."

"Are you sure you can do it this week?"

At this time, Zatanna also saw the news on TV that the superhero statue was maliciously graffitied in the city park in the afternoon. When she saw the clown makeup on the statue and the sentence written on the statue of Kirwin Knight,

, Zatanna also understands why Ke Wen was in that state just now. For most people, it was just a prank, but for those of them in the superhero circle, they all understand that there is such a person who would do this, and that person from

Gotham's Joker.

As for the news of the death of the Joker, only two or three people knew about it. Ke Wen, Batman and Dick were at the scene at the time, as well as Superman and his confidante Wonder Woman, who later shared the news with Batman immediately.

People, including members of the Justice League, thought that the Joker had been imprisoned in Arkham Asylum. But this does not mean that Zatanna, as a junior, did not know the horror of the Joker. It happened in Metropolis and to Superman's wife and son.

The incident was still fresh in Zatanna's memory.
