In the script of "Titanic", Jack Dawson is a down-and-out painter who wins a lower-class ticket in a gamble at the pier.

Leslie Howard has obviously stepped into this role very well. He wears simple clothes and a peaked cap that was very common in this era, giving people a simple feeling.

However, compared to the Jack in Colin's memory, Leslie Howard has a certain degree of self-confidence. Even though he is cheaply dressed, he still cannot conceal his self-confidence. This is a reflection of how different actors understand their roles.

The difference is that no matter Katharine Hepburn or Leslie Howard, they are not the actors in the original "Titanic" after all.

Therefore, even if they play the same role and script, they have completely different styles because of their different interpretations.

Not to mention, the director of this film is Howard Hughes.

This is a guy who pursues perfection even more than James Cameron. After all, even Cameron cannot sink a real giant ship for a movie.

"Good afternoon, Hepburn."

"Good afternoon, Director Howard Hughes."

From the greetings of Katharine Hepburn and Howard Hughes, Colin could tell that the relationship between the two was only at its very beginning.

Although Hughes has never concealed his admiration for Katharine Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn obviously still maintains a distance between herself and him.

This is a very independent woman. In fact, her relationship with Howard Hughes finally broke down because the other party interfered with her filming of the movie. Katharine Hepburn was so angry that she bought the contract back for US$200,000.

Switch to other companies.

Nowadays, although Katharine Hepburn's love life has experienced twists and turns, she has not yet divorced her husband, so it is naturally impossible for her to agree to Howard Hughes' pursuit.

The measured tone in Katharine Hepburn's tone did not discourage Hughes too much. He himself is a person who likes challenges, whether it is the test flight of an airplane or the filming of the movie "Titanic".

During the introduction by Howard Hughes, Colin also greeted the two movie stars Leslie Howard and Katharine Hepburn.

"Mr. Leslie Howard, your performance in the movie "Free Spirit" impressed me deeply."

Compared to Katharine Hepburn, Colin paid more attention to Leslie Howard, not only because he was the leading actor in "Titanic", but also because of his legendary life.

If I remember correctly, Leslie Howard had already become a spy during this period.

A British spy walking in Hollywood, what could be more dramatic than this.

"Thanks."

Accepting Colin's praise with a smile, Leslie Howard also echoed: "During my time in New York, the newspaper I read the most was Mr. Colin Looper's "The Courier Daily." In fact, I

I have become a loyal reader of "Superman" and can't wait to read new comics every day."

Leslie Howard is indeed a spy who can sneak into Hollywood and become a big star. He is obviously very good at talking to people.

Of course, Colin also noticed that Leslie Howard was very skillful in his words, including being able to express his own opinions eloquently about the rise of The Courier Daily. Obviously, the other party had not done anything in this regard before.

Do less work.

If it were another actor, Colin might just regard it as the other actor simply complimenting him.

However, when thinking of Leslie Howard's other identity, the look in Colin's eyes suddenly became a little clearer.

The fact that the other party took the initiative to talk to me obviously valued the relationship behind him. This is the professional quality that an intelligence worker should have.

After noticing Leslie Howard's purpose, Colin didn't say much. Even if Leslie Howard's secret spy identity was discarded, his subsequent development and influence in Hollywood were equally impressive, so Colin was happy to work with him.

Build a relationship with each other.

In this way, in the tacit understanding, Leslie Howard and Colin appeared to be in a harmonious conversation atmosphere.

On the other side, the deeper meaning behind this conversation was not clear. Howard Hughes just regarded Colin's initiative to communicate with Leslie Howard as an opportunity to create for himself. He seized the opportunity to communicate with Katherine on the side.

Hepburn communicated.

…

"There are still 99 days left until the ship sinks!"

The next day, New Yorkers saw the numbers marked by Colin in large letters on the front page of the "Courier Daily".

As the well-deserved No. 1 newspaper in New York today, the Courier Daily has a huge influence.

In almost just one day, the news that a giant ship was about to sink in New York Harbor spread throughout the streets of New York City.

At first, the people did not believe this. After all, it was not like a perfectly good ship was going to sink if it had not encountered an accident.

Moreover, Colin swore in the newspaper to indicate the time when the ship sank, which made readers even more suspicious.

However, this doubt became a little hesitant with the appearance of Howard Hughes.

A few years ago, Howard Hughes's filming of "Hell's Angels" had already become a household name through newspapers' exaggeration. Everyone knew that there was a guy in Hollywood who spent money like water, and even the new movie he invested in not long ago

"The Man with the Bad Face" has just been released.

This movie based on a real gangster story also left a very deep impression on the audience.

After all, the background of "Scarface" is not a fictional plot, but actually happened in Chicago. Even the protagonist of the movie, Al Capone, was only indicted and imprisoned for tax evasion the year before. Howard

Hughes actually released a movie related to him the next year. His boldness and fearlessness not only shocked the entire Hollywood, but also the audience.

The same movie "Scarface" is also the pioneer of Hollywood crime genre films. It is set in the Prohibition era, tells the story of the struggle for interests between underground gangs, and exaggerates the street violence of machine guns, which influenced a large number of subsequent movies.

Similar works.

The name of Howard Hughes and the giant ship in New York Harbor make the whole report a bit more real.

And the name of Titanic was quickly revealed by an actor on a certain ship "inadvertently".

Howard Hughes is filming a movie about the Titanic. The giant ship in New York Harbor will be sunk into the sea in 99 days, just like the Titanic back then.

There is no doubt that Colin's propaganda in the newspaper successfully attracted the attention of New York citizens.

At the same time, even the sales of "The Courier Daily" have further increased because of the topic of giant ships.

Even people who didn't care much about the "Superman" serialization bought newspapers one after another in order to learn about the news about the sinking of the giant ship.

During the Great Depression, entertainment methods were far less popular than in later generations.

The economic recession has forced many entertainment expenditures to be cut or stopped. Under this premise, some entertainment methods that do not cost money have become the first choice of the people. Just like the flagpole that Colin once knew in San Francisco.

Challenges are just ordinary activities, but they can attract countless people to watch.

This is not because the challenge is very interesting, but simply because it is a form of entertainment that can be participated in without spending too much money.

There is no doubt that the Sunken Ship is also showing signs of developing in this direction.

As the countdown appears in the Daily Courier, large numbers of people head to New York Harbor every day to see the giant ship.

From the deck and some external structures of the giant ship, they could sense the luxury of the giant ship.

Many people even swore that they had seen the flashing lights and heard the sound of music in the ship at night, indicating that someone was holding a dance party in the ship.

And it is precisely because of all these that more and more people are questioning whether Howard Hughes will really sink this valuable ship after the countdown of "The Courier Daily"?

The discussion about whether Howard Hughes would really sink the giant ship has become a topic of concern throughout New York, and even became more popular than the lawsuit between Colin and the radio company for a while.

CBS even launched a special program for this purpose, seriously discussing the feasibility of the entire incident.

Of course, in the minds of most people, they more or less do not believe that Howard Hughes would sink this luxury ship, especially when the "Courier Daily" released stills from the interior of the ship.

The suspicion became even more obvious.

In this regard, Colin did not explain much, and just continued to countdown day after day on the front page.

Of course, in addition to the reports of the sinking of the ship, he also did not forget the serialization of the comics.

After the mark is upgraded to [Silver], the unlocked abilities also have the possibility of further upgrade, and Colin will naturally not let it go.

In fact, while reporting on the big ship news, he also serialized several new "Superman" stories in response to the newspaper's increasing sales.

In addition to some old-fashioned plots of justice defeating evil, Colin also designed a new storyline.

Using the counter-world experience as the background, Colin designed a guy named Super Girl to be called into the pocket universe.

The setting of this pocket universe is obviously based on the existence of the counter-world. Through the battle between Superstar and Dormammu, Colin has also noticed the anomalies of the counter-world and designed it into the plot of the latest comic series.

In the background of this story, the pocket universe is, as its name suggests, a limited universe.

Unlike the vast and boundless universe in people's minds, the world of the pocket universe has limits.

When Superman came to this universe, he discovered three Kryptonian criminals there. They ruled this universe and brutally killed the people in this universe, almost destroying everyone in this universe.

Superman met the remaining humans in this world in the pocket universe and learned about the actions of the Kryptonian criminals. He also understood the purpose of Supergirl summoning him. In the end, Superman found the three Kryptonian criminals and fought with them, and

Defeated them one against three, and finally killed them with heat vision.

As for the reason why Superman was able to kill them, Colin also explained in the comics that because Superman's world is different from the pocket universe, the ability he obtained by absorbing the sun is also more powerful than the three.

With the serialization of the Pocket Universe story, the content of the story also became a widely circulated Superman murder incident in the future.

In the past comics, Superman often defeated his opponents or killed his enemies.

But whether it is Luthor or the King of Pranksters, such villains will appear again in various ways. In the story of the pocket universe, Colin clearly expressed that Superman really killed the three Kryptonian criminals.

He was executed, and Superman felt guilty for his actions.

This is a rare depiction of Superman killing an enemy.

Although, at this time, readers who have seen the plot through the serial are not surprised by this, after all, it has been explained in the previous story that the crimes of these three Kryptonian criminals do not deserve sympathy.

Through the serialization of Pocket Universe, Colin successfully unlocked the ability of [Heat Vision] to the [Silver] level.
