Chapter 671: Gnawing the Old Clan

On the streets of Manhattan, New York, a black sedan drives past Times Square.

In the car sat Bernard Eisinger and his assistant from Twentieth Century Fox.

Entering Broadway, because of the traffic jam, the black sedan slowed down and slowly squeezed forward, and the tall Bernard Eisinger couldn't help but look at his watch.

The assistant hurriedly said: "There is still half an hour left in the time I made with Joan Clea Lee, so I can catch it in time." ”

Bernard Issinger looked at the dense traffic in front of him and asked, "Joan Clea Lee won't regret it, will it?"

"Absolutely not!" the assistant was very confident: " Joan Clea Lee is 54 years old, unmarried, currently unemployed, has never been in any job for more than four months in the past few decades, her father Stan Lee is almost her only source of income, Stan Lee after leaving Marvel Comics completely in 1998, his income has plummeted, and the biggest source of income is now pension, which has seriously affected Joan Clea Lee's quality of life, and her representative with Stan Lee, Koya Morgan, who is also a lawyer, is extremely unhappy about this. ”

Bernard Eisinger seems to have a feeling: "Behind every successful father, there are always children who are not easy to worry about. ”

The assistant didn't answer, and if it weren't for that, how could Joan Clea Lee agree to work with Twentieth Century Fox?

Family affection is always impossible to ignore, especially for some elderly people.

The assistant has dealt with Joan Clea Lee personally and knows a lot about her and knows what kind of person she is.

Stan Lee is undoubtedly one of the benchmarks of the American comic book industry, with the popularity of superhero movies such as "Spider-Man", and even being dubbed the father of Marvel by many people, as one of the initiators of many superhero ideas in Marvel and one of the most important screenwriters, Stan Lee deserves this praise.

But when it comes to educating his children, Stan Lee is a complete failure.

The assistant can only sigh for Stan Lee, who spoils their daughter Joan Clea Lee too much.

It doesn't matter if it's a teenage girl, but Joan Clea Lee is fifty-four years old!

Stan Lee and his wife arranged a trust for their daughter to bind her assets, as her finances had been strained and often overspending, but Joan Clea Lee didn't buy it.

In addition to trust income, Joan Clea Lee "levies" Stan Lee from $20,000 to $40,000 a month, and Stan Lee and his daughter often disagree on financial management, and Joan Clea Lee often yells at him and goes hysterically crazy if he doesn't compromise.

The most shocking thing was that last year, Joan Clea Lee came home and saw a brand new luxury car, thinking it was bought for her, but later found out that it was only rented in the name of Stan Lee, and in anger, she grabbed her mother's arm and threw her against the window, causing her to fall, and after being reprimanded by Stan Lee, she grabbed his head and hit the back of the chair.

However, the Stan Lees refused to call the police, and after Joan Clea Lee apologized, they forgave Joan Clea Lee for an unknown number of times.

Thinking of what happened to the comic master, the assistant could only lament, pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

As for Stan Lee's agent, Koya Morgan, she has long sided with Joan Clea Lee.

After all, the Stan Lee couple is already old, and their lives are gradually beginning to be unable to take care of themselves, and the tens of millions of dollars in assets are not going to be inherited by Joan Clea Lee in the end?

Although what he is doing is to use Stan Lee, the assistant still admires this comic book master, and after learning about these situations, Stan Lee might as well get rid of it sooner.

Perhaps there will never be such a bothering thing as Joan Clea Lee in heaven again, and heaven is inhabited by great heroes.

In a theater on Broadway, two middle-aged women and an elderly man walked into the VIP box on the second floor early, waiting for the arrival of the other party.

Stan Lee wears glasses and sits in a soft sofa chair, where he often goes to see plays.

Joan Clea Lee went out to make a phone call, and when she came back, she said, "They're stuck in traffic, and it's estimated that it will take ten minutes to come." ”

Koya Morgan repeatedly stayed by Stan Lee's side and answered, "We'll be okay later." ”

Stan Lee glanced at Joan Clea Lee and said, "It's okay, I've known Bernard for more than ten years, wait for him later." ”

Joan Clea Lee glanced at Koya Morgan, who made an excuse and followed Joan Clea Lee out of the box to the corner at the end of the corridor and discussed it softly.

"Remember to persuade at the right time. Joan Clea Lee admonished.

Koya Morgan smiled: "Don't worry, I'll find the right time." ”

Joan Clea Lee said: "Although my father left Marvel, he has always been in contact with Marvel and misses the old love, and I'm afraid he won't be able to turn the corner." ”

"It's up to you. Koya-Morgan encouraged, "You're going to impress Stan." ”

Joan Clea Lee laughed, her experience filled with confidence: "These are not problems. ”

It's refreshing to think about it, I have already got a lot of money from Twentieth Century Fox, and I can get a lot more from Marvel Entertainment in the future, it seems that I can consider buying a big villa on Long Island and buying a new apartment on the Upper East Side at the same time.

Where does the money come from to maintain a good life? With such an excellent father, do you need to think about anything else?

Joan Clea Lee has lived in New York for many years and has always felt that this is a world of fathers or mothers, why is Paris Hilton in the spotlight? Why is the daughter of the Donald family called a celebrity? How did the two little girls of the Hearst family become celebrities in New York's high society?

The answer is obvious.

So, Joan Clea Lee never saw anything wrong with doing so.

After gnawing on my parents for decades, I got used to gnawing on them, and I wanted to gnaw more.

Koya Morgan gently patted Joan Clea Lee's arm: "Come on." ”

Joan Clea Lee asked, "There are no legal and contractual problems, right?"

Koya Morgan is very sure of this: "Under Stan's contract with Marvel, we are reasonably asking for it, and it is protected by law. ”

Joan Clea Lee snorted coldly: "This is what Marvel owes us, and what belongs to us should be taken back." ”

Koya Morgan thought of the agency fee that might belong to her, and said with a smile: "Of course. ”

Joan Clea Lee returned to the box, looked at the old Stan Lee, and felt deeply: the old father entered the comic book company that was not called Marvel at that time as early as 1939, and began his legendary life, worked in Marvel for more than 50 years, and spent almost his entire life in this company, and is a well-deserved "father of Marvel".

The old father may not last long, and before he dies, he must let his father get all the benefits that belong to him, so that he can inherit it.

Joan Clea Lee has a lot of thoughts on her side, and with Koya Morgan on her side, a lot of things are quite convenient to do.

Stan Lee openly speaks out through Koya Morgan, and she is directly involved in her father's business activities, and when he is a little older and less able to take care of himself, he will become a robot in their hands.

Wow, it's the kind that brings in at least millions of dollars a year.

It's exciting to think about it, and the future life is really beautiful.

"Joan, you're a little weird today. Stan Lee suddenly asked, "Bring me here for something else?"

Joan Clea Lee shook her old father's hand and said with a smile, "How can there be anything else, isn't your old friend Bernard calling me to ask you to meet, I can bring you here?"

Stan Lee didn't speak again, but looked to his beloved stage, where drama is just as much his favorite as comics.

Koya Morgan, unlike Joan Clea Lee, stayed by Stan Lee's side, quietly discussing upcoming plays and occasionally cracking a little joke with Stan Lee.

It's clear that Stan Lee trusts Koya Morgan.

A few minutes later, Joan Clea Lee's phone vibrated and she hurried out of the box and met the tall Bernard Eisinger at the entrance on the second floor, and whispered to each other as she led them into the box.

"Hi Stan, good evening. Bernard Eisinger is very enthusiastic: "You look so much better. ”

Stan Lee shakes hands with Bernard Issinger: "It's been good lately, God won't want to summon me for a while." He asked instead, "How do you have time to come to New York to see me?"

Joan Clea Lee invited everyone to take a seat, and Bernard Issinger said, "I'm in New York on a business trip to do something at News Corp., so I just happened to stop by to see you." ”

Stan Lee laughed twice, "We haven't seen each other in a few years, haven't we?"

"It didn't take long. Bernard Issinger sat next to Stan Lee: "You forgot? We also talked for a while at the premiere of X-Men 2." ”

Stan Lee patted his head: "Sorry, people are getting old, and their memories are declining. ”

Bernard Eisinger laughed and said, "It's okay. ”

The two reminisced, and Bernard Eisinger said with emotion: "In the past two years, there have been too many changes, especially in the comic industry. ”

Stan Lee is not without sorrow: "The comics industry has weakened. ”

"yes. Bernard Eisinger sighed: "Even the stake in Marvel Comics changed hands several times and was finally sold to Relativity Entertainment Group. ”

When people get old, they will be conservative and don't want to see too many changes, and the same is true for Stan Lee, who has complicated his heart when he thinks that Marvel, who has worked all his life, has become someone else's thing.

Bernard Eisinger said: "Even so, it is not easy for Marvel to develop, but fortunately, there is also a movie revenue share. ”
