America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 322 320.MCU starts

CBS: "This morning, the entire city of Los Angeles held a dream come true event for 5-year-old Wendy Winster, a child born with leukemia."

"Initiated by the non-profit organization Dream House, and jointly organized by MGM and Marvel Studios, tens of thousands of people voluntarily cooperated to help little Wendy realize her dream of becoming a superhero."

"This is the embodiment of the American dream. This is the beauty of humanity. Let us wish Wendy Winster a speedy recovery."

ABC: "Wendy Winster's dream journey was an action that touched countless people. Little Wendy is a superhero, and everyone involved is a superhero!"

CBS: "The spectacular event in Los Angeles is sweeping the United States and highlighting the beauty of humanity to the world."

NBC News: "The following is an interview with Ms. Kelf, the person in charge of Dream House."

A woman who looks to be in her forties appears on the screen, telling the entire story in its entirety.

“Our staff heard the story of Wendy, who was about to face the most important surgery of his life.”

"But no one can guarantee that the operation is 100% successful, which means this may be the last moment of the child's life."

"We wanted to rent a space and let the park staff spend the day with him, but that's not what Wendy wanted."

"Superhero? A child's wonderful dream, but it is beyond our capabilities, so we tried to ask comic companies and movie companies for help."

"Fortunately, MGM and Marvel responded right away and were willing to help."

"Including the entire people of Los Angeles, the mayor, judges, prosecutors, police chiefs, everyone is a great person."

With the success of this dream-fulfilling tour, the huge noise spread directly to the entire United States.

Most people are sunny, at least there is sunshine in their hearts, no matter how much darkness they have experienced.

This kind of news meets the expectations of the audience, conforms to mainstream values, and can also earn ratings. There is no reason not to report it extensively.

It's just that the major TV stations reported from different angles. Those who had a bad relationship with Eric only focused on the incident itself and never mentioned a word about MGM or Marvel.

A good relationship fully demonstrates the key role played by the two companies.

In the interview with the Winsters, the couple clearly expressed their gratitude to MGM and Marvel, and the words coming out of their mouths are the best propaganda.

MGM and Marvel Group immediately announced that they would be responsible for all of Wendy's medical expenses until he recovers.

And a children's leukemia foundation will be established specifically for the treatment of children, which has naturally received a lot of praise.

This is called charity. It is far less practical to attend a party and donate some money.

When the next day came, something Eric didn't expect happened.

The then President George W. Bush specially filmed a video for Little Wendy. Although it was for votes and mixed with many political factors, it was still a good thing.

Lao Deng's expression was rarely as serious as usual when he appeared in front of the media. He gave a thumbs up and said: "Thank you, Wendy Winster!"

"Thank you for everything you have done for Los Angeles. You saved this city. You are a superhero, an American superhero!"

"I see a spirit in you, a spirit that is not afraid of difficulties and moves forward bravely. This spirit is encouraging the whole country. Thank you, thank you!"

Even the president was alarmed, and ordinary people naturally discussed it heatedly. This matter almost became the most discussed hot spot in a few days.

"I was so moved. As a man in his forties, I thought life was numb, but when I felt the tears falling, I thought a lot."

"It's such a blessing to hear such good news during the Christmas holidays. I also love superheroes. I wish Wendy Winster a speedy recovery."

"It turns out that things are so complicated behind the scenes, and both MGM and Marvel are silently contributing. Aren't "Iron Man" and "Captain America" ​​about to be released soon? We must support them this time!"

"Am I the only one whose attention has been attracted by that steel suit? The shape is so cool. You can buy it somewhere. I want one."

"I also want that steel armor. Wearing it will definitely attract the attention of the whole family. I will become the most handsome cub in the crowd."

"New York Comic Con is only a month away, so I decided to make one by hand, OMG! I can already foresee how popular Iron Man will be after the movie."

"Avril Lavigne is indeed my goddess. Those guys who always criticize her for being a bad influence on teenagers, why don't you say anything?"

"Avril Lavigne did a really good job. It reminded me of the final night of The Voice, when she also participated in the We Are the World chorus. She is quite nice."

"The song Avril Lavigne sang this time was so beautiful. God knows how many times I played it back. It just killed my ears."

"It's really good to hear the explosion. It has a particularly touching power. Moreover, it is a new song. She must have made it specially for this event. I love this girl to death!"

Many people left messages on Alita's official website and Avril Lavigne's Facebook account, asking for a studio version to be released as soon as possible. We are all waiting.

Avril Lavigne responded generously and said directly that it would be released and her fans would be satisfied.

At the same time, he also said that the song was not his own, but was written by Eric Cooper for Wendy.

I am very grateful to Eric for being able to participate in the arrangement and get the right to sing.

At this point, it naturally triggered a lot of discussion among fans.

Damn, this guy either doesn't make a move, or when he does, it's a big bomb.

It's a pity that he has put all his energy into business and the film industry. It can't be said that he doesn't care about music, but he is lazy.

Everyone can see that Eric will never write songs for no reason. His songs have a clear purpose.

Either as a movie theme song or to promote his own family.

As for those who want to invite him to sing, the queue can be drawn from Los Angeles to New York, but unfortunately no one has done it.

It's just that the Grammys in two months will add fuel to the original situation of fierce competition.

As for Arista, there was no response.

After Eric expressed his intention to take over, he directly transferred the money to Avril's account the next day.

The meaning is very clear, kick your old club quickly and throw yourself into your father's arms quickly.

After seeing the money, the punk girl, who was very straightforward by nature, immediately got excited. She informed her agent and ran to the company to ask for a termination of the contract, which confused the other party.

What do you mean?

You cooperated with Meiyi, just for a song, and now you have to give your body to them. Do I deserve to be the victim?

Don't forget who discovered you. Without Alistair, you might still be singing in a corner!

In principle, Alistair did make a contribution, but Avril also helped the company make a lot of money in the past two years, and the account has been balanced long ago.

And after she became popular, the company immediately changed the contract and increased the penalty to 25 million US dollars.

In this era, for a singer who has just debuted for two years, 25 million US dollars is an astronomical figure for an individual. Avril also said that she couldn't afford it.

Generally, companies will not maliciously poach people, but I didn't expect that Meiyi, the mortal enemy, would jump out.

The two sides are arguing, and Arista is trying to keep her by playing the favor card and increasing her treatment.

Avril refused three times in a row. She made a decision that could not be pulled back by ten cows. Anyway, she has made up her mind to leave. If you don't sign, I will unilaterally breach the contract.

For the sake of face, it is estimated that after a few more days of arguing, Arista will be forced to let her go.

The Arclight Theater is very busy this year. MGM has directly booked the cinema.

Only the premiere is allowed to be held by itself to prevent other companies from disgusting people.

Luxury cars, red carpets, beauties, and noises are loud.

Even though it is winter now and the weather is cold at night, it still can't stop the fanatical fans and fans.

Especially since the heat of the little Wendy incident has not ended, the public's attention has naturally been extended to "Iron Man".

Now it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole nation is paying attention. Tickets for the midnight shows in many places are sold out, and even some small places are like the New Year.

Everyone is looking forward to the golden and red armor flying in the sky. As long as the quality of the movie is good, Marvel's reputation will be completely established.

Of course, if he dies suddenly, hehe.

Captain America will also be in trouble.

But is this possible?

"Come here, Avi, and Feige, today is a big day!"

Eric called, and Avi Arad and Kevin Feige trotted over happily.

After the three hugged, Avi Arad said with emotion: "I have been dreaming about this day. I don't know how many years I have dreamed of this. Marvel is like my child. Today he is finally growing up."

"Come on! Don't say such sad words. We should be happy today."

"Yes, we should be happy today, Avi."

"Okay, okay, I'm just old and a little emotional. Let me go to the bathroom."

Not far away, Robert Downey Jr. and Amy Adams came over.

Downey is the male lead, and Amy Adams plays the female lead Pepper Potts.

As for Gwyneth Paltrow, whoever wants to use her can use her, but Eric will never use her, even though she is Spielberg's goddaughter.

And this woman is notoriously bad, especially snobbish, and a typical example of being pretentious and stupid.

Even in the United States, there are still a lot of people who hate her.

Amy Adams is much better, not only has a good reputation, but also has good acting skills.

She is 30 years old this year, and she looks good standing next to Downey, and her hair color is golden with a reddish hue, which is also similar to Pepper Potts in the comics.

In short, Eric decided on her at first sight, and the water queen got out of here!

"I don't know how long it's been since I walked on the red carpet, huh!"

"Haha. If I'm not by your side, you'll be too weak to walk."

"Maybe. After all, when I faced so many flashes before, I was usually going to jail again."

Eric patted his shoulder: "Donny, don't mention this kind of thing. You've done a good job in the past year or so. There hasn't been any negative news, right?"

Donny nodded: "Boss, I promise I really changed. Whether it's alcohol, drugs or marijuana, I insist on treatment while filming, and even drink juice at parties."

"Yes, I can prove that he is telling the truth, because he has met the man of love, and he is really full of motivation."

"What?"

Donny quickly stopped Amy Adams: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just a bet. I'm not qualified to talk about love yet."

Eric looked at Amy Adams.

"When we were filming, there was often a woman visiting the set, Susan Levine, a producer."

"Then we knew this love story. Donny had to completely change his bad habits and not make them again for two years before he could marry Susan."

"Boss, it seems that opportunities and pay can't really make a man alert, only love can."

Eric laughed. He didn't expect that Donny would still get together with Susan Levine. Maybe this is fate.

But is love really possible?

Think about the women around you, which one is not the best? Maybe the time has not come yet.

In the cinema, as the lights fell, the lion symbolizing MGM roared a few times.

Then it didn't jump to the beginning of the movie, but the title of Marvel Comics appeared. The bright red color made people feel refreshed.

Then the scene turned and came to a Mercedes-Benz military vehicle.

In the explosive rock music, Tony Stark, dressed in a suit and holding champagne, was out of tune with the fully armed soldiers next to him.

"Mr. Stark, I heard that all the girls on the cover of Playboy have had sex with you. Is that true?"

"Good question. Strictly speaking, it's not true because I had other plans in March and didn't have sex with them. But fortunately, the cover of September features twins, so theoretically I still had sex with 12 girls."

Hahahaha

In just two or three minutes, Tony Stark's cynical attitude has been shown.

Especially for comic fans, it feels right. Iron Man should be this bastard.

But then the attack came and Tony was kidnapped. As for the kidnapper, Eric changed it.

The Ten Rings Gang was removed, and characters like Fu Manchu and Mandarin would not appear in the Marvel Universe in the future.

They are just simple terrorists. Anyway, the United States has not withdrawn its troops in Afghanistan yet, and it just invaded Iraq last year.

Then the scene switched to an awards ceremony before the attack, briefly explaining Tony Stark's life, so that viewers who don't read comics can understand the character's background.

Important characters also appeared one after another, including Obadistan, Colonel Rhodes, and Pepper Potts, and the relationship between them was revealed.

Until the scene returned to Tony Stark being attacked and kidnapped, the plot was closed, and the relationship between the characters, their personalities, and the biggest conflicts were also laid out.

As an arms dealer, Tony Stark vigorously advocated that arms defend peace and weapons create peace.

But he was attacked by the weapons he sold, which had to be said to be a boomerang.

Film critics became interested, and it seemed that this was not just a commercial film, but also integrated more connotations and thoughts.

In particular, how to deal with the relationship between weapons and peace will be the core content of the film.

This "Iron Man" seems to have become interesting.
