There was no difficulty in registering the Spider-Woman trademark. Richard solved the problem the next day. But the movie was a little more complicated.
As we all know, in addition to a production company and a shooting team, making a movie also requires investors, in other words, money. If you want to make a decent Hollywood blockbuster, the investment must be upwards of nine figures. Reasonable.
Chad may be considered successful in his career, but it is obvious that he is not the kind of super rich guy who can easily spend 3.5 billion to invest in movies. Therefore, if he wants to make a high-quality movie, he must have a sponsor.
essential.
So until the right villain is found, this idea is just an idea after all, at least that's what Richard thought until this afternoon.
Then the secretary Stephanie appeared in his office wearing high heels and handed him an invitation letter.
"Stark Expo?" Richard raised his head unexpectedly after reading the brief invitation, "Has it already started?"
"Tomorrow night is the opening ceremony, sir." Stephanie nodded slightly.
Although Richard was not interested in this type of technology exhibition itself, he was still deeply impressed by the Stark Expo. Because it was not just an expo, it also marked the beginning of the plot of the movie "Iron Man 2".
The Stark Expo is a platform prepared by Stark for inventors from all over the world. It is an ideal city where everyone can unleash their creativity. Many celebrities from all walks of life in New York will receive invitations to the opening ceremony from the organizer.
As the owner of the Daily Planet, Richard is naturally included in this list.
"Are you going, sir?" Stephanie asked.
Do you want to go? Forget it. Just send a reporter to the scene to conduct an interview.
Technology is not his specialty, and the expo itself is not of interest to him, not to mention that it is just an opening ceremony. He can already imagine that the process is nothing more than everyone getting together to eat, drink, chat, and then watch Tony Smith.
Tucker showed off his handsome steel armor falling from the sky and gave a arrogant opening speech.
As for the idea of seeing Marvel's Iron Man in person, Richard has no idea at all...
...Wait a minute, did you just say that we are in need of a wealthy man who has too much spare money to spend, and who might be interested in superhero-themed movies?
Um......
"Go, of course," said Richard.
"Oh?" Stephanie was a little surprised, "I thought boss you would definitely... refuse."
It shouldn’t be. How could a veteran like the boss, whose technological level is only at the level of “proficient in using windows”, suddenly be interested in the expo?
If there is something fishy, there must be something fishy.
"Technology makes everything possible and is the ladder of human development and progress. I have always had the highest respect for science and technology. How could I not go to such a grand event?" Richard looked serious.
Stephanie said to herself that although I didn't believe a word of it, as a qualified secretary I wouldn't point it out.
But you still have to bring a reporter with you. You can't let the dignified boss arrive at the scene and take photos with a SLR in his hand, right? That would be very disrespectful.
So he walked out of the office and glanced around to see who seemed to be having nothing to do. Finally, his eyes fell on a young reporter behind the desk who had just become a full-time employee not long ago.
"Cathy."
The little reporter was startled and pointed at himself: "Boss, you called me?"
"Are you busy tonight?"
"I...a former classmate invited me to dinner tonight, and I'm going to..."
A classmate made an appointment to have dinner? Richard raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Male classmate or female classmate?"
"...Male classmate."
"Then it's okay." Richard waved his hand, "I have a mission tonight, so come with me to the Stark Expo."
Hehe, if you don’t want to work overtime, just leave early, and still have dinner with your classmates?
It's not unacceptable to eat with your best friend, but also eat with a male classmate? Is such a good thing?
Boss, I'm still single at this age, and you still want to get out of singles early? That's not possible.
He couldn't explain why, but Richard seemed to feel cheerful all of a sudden, and returned to the office humming a tune, leaving the little girl with a sad face and worrying about how to explain to the boy...
...
That night, the opening ceremony of the Stark Expo.
The wide square was crowded with people. Tens of thousands of people gathered in this square, like a wave of fanaticism. Everyone shouted to the sky, and the sound was like rolling bursts of muffled thunder. Dozens of people on the stage
The giant 1-meter-high screen constantly played Iron Man's recent heroics, taking down a terrorist base hidden in a certain mountain range, and raiding a pirate ship in Cape Horn...
The sound effects and percussion enveloped the crowd through the exhibition hall's three-dimensional surround sound system, making people feel as if they were actually there, just like watching a Hollywood blockbuster with excellent effects.
The exhibition hall began to throw fireworks into the sky, and the fireworks exploded high in the sky. At a height of one thousand meters, the door of a large passenger plane was pulled open, and a solid red-gold body jumped out, and the soles of its feet were lit.
The flames flew straight towards the center of the venue with the explosion of fireworks.
Iron Man landed in the middle of the stage with a loud sound - a standard superhero "three-point" landing, and the hurricane caused by inertia surged towards the crowd in all directions. Then, amid the applause of the people, dozens of robotic arms emerged from the booth.
The lower part stretched out, unbuttoning his armor piece by piece, revealing Tony Stark in a tuxedo, confidently spreading his arms and smiling at everyone.
Facing the enthusiastic audience, Tony Stark adjusted his breathing and shouted loudly: "It's great to be back!"
The shouts, driven by thunderous applause, rose to another level, and the sound was deafening.
Just like in a movie, Tony began to deliver the opening speech. Richard and Cathy were in the last row of the crowd under the booth, listening, enjoying free drinks and chatting away.
"He's quite handsome." Cathy was holding a cake in her hand, her little eyes looking at Stark on the stage and looking like they were shining.
"Generally handsome." Richard responded casually without denying it. After all, it is well known that Stark is quite charming, "He is just a little bit worse than me."
Cathy looked at the boss with vacant eyes.
Boss, it’s not your fault that you’re mediocre in appearance, but it’s your fault that you don’t have x numbers...
Cathy wanted to say that you should pee and take the photo yourself, but her strong desire to survive still made her hold back, and finally forced a smile: "Ah ha, that's true, I'm still worse than the boss after all...
.”
Richard smiled and nodded. Well, the little girl is very good at talking. Go back and add chicken legs.
Cathy took a deep breath and held her chest, as if her heart suddenly hurt...
