Captain Rogers' case, as Lee Kit had expected, was not heard at all on May 15, and finally a second trial was scheduled for June 20 after constant debate and quarrels. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The military sent a staggering number of lawyers to the first trial, but they were all defeated by Captain Rogers' only defense lawyer.

In addition to representing Captain Rogers, Matt is also the legal counsel for Marvel. Half of the legal affairs of Li Kit Comics Company were handled by him.

It can be said that the existence of Marvel has given Matt an extra weapon. Because Marvel was founded with the original purpose of allowing those superheroes to get paid for their good deeds. It is not enough to say that there is no good person to be rewarded.

The company's comic royalties on superheroes are settled on a three-month basis. It just so happens that all superhero royalties have already been settled once.

And this income happened to be used by Matt as a weapon to attack the military.

"Even an ordinary private company understands the importance of respecting other people's copyrights, while the official of the United States tramples on its own laws!" Matt said with his earnings report in hand.

And on this day, a cyber offensive in solidarity with Captain America, which had already been scheduled, began. Under Li Jie's tandem, all the superheroes who have received their own royalties have posted the royalties they have received on their own self-media.

Relatively few such as White Tiger, because she is not very popular, only has less than $100,000 in royalties for three months. But relatively high, such as Spider-Man, who newly opened his own Weibo and Twitter, posted a royalty income of $780,000 (after tax) for three months.

Spider-Man is the first superhero from all Marvel brands to sign a license to produce merchandise. Toyo's toy manufacturer, Bandai, was the first to sign a license to produce Spider-Man's merchandise toys.

When this royalty is paid, Spider-Man's income can jump to a higher level.

And Lee's comic company also launched a special issue on May 15, announcing its support for Captain Rogers' choice. "Good people deserve good rewards!" was the title of the supplement.

The comic content in it is basically about what the superheroes are going to do with the money after they get their first royalties.

For example, Blade is rushing to the bank to pay off the mortgage with his credit card, and Iron Fist is paying the salaries of his personal trainer and lawyer.

White Tiger needs to pay off his student loans, and Spider-Man and Nightcrawler donate money to an orphanage school, as well as leave their own college tuition.

The entire story of the comic chronicles the lives of these superheroes from a very plain perspective. They also need to eat, drink, and use money. They go to the convenience store to buy hot dogs and pay for them too!

This time, the launch of online marketing and manga supplements has received unanimous praise from fans. People worship God, but they prefer people. Especially when I see that Blade has to calculate the monthly salary income and mortgage repayment plus property tax, as well as car loan repayment and medical insurance payment.

When superheroes hold calculators and head over their monthly living expenses, most people let out a knowing smile. Because that's what they experience every day!

At the same time, because of the win-win effect of online marketing and supplements, Marvel's comics are no longer a local comic limited to the greater New York area.

Many people who learned about this comic on the Internet, and even foreign readers, strongly demanded that the comic be distributed to their own place.

In just a few days, the company received countless calls from comic book stores and channel dealers, all of whom were inquiring about the cooperation of distribution of goods. This comic book company, which has been in existence for only half a year, seized the incident of Captain America as a shocking point.

In an instant, it became famous all over the world. And after that, heavy news came one after another. The CEO of Marvel announced that the company has now signed three more blockbuster superhero rights.

One is Deadpool, a professional mercenary who made a fuss some time ago because of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s unpaid wages, and according to rumors, he is said to be joining S.H.I.E.L.D. to become an Avenger.

People who eat melons in the market have expressed their disbelief, after all, the relationship between the two parties was so stiff before. The exact reality will not be known until the real results are available.

The other is Tony Stark, the world's most famous super-rich man who is also a superhero!

This is Li Jie's waste of a lot of effort and finally persuaded Tony to hand over the copyright of his comic image, and Tony doesn't care about copyright income. He only cares if he can have a positive image.

Because Li Jie supported Captain Rodgers this time, he won Tony's favor. Marvel never tarnishes the image of those superheroes. So Tony finally signed the contract.

He had only one request: "One word: handsome! If I'm not handsome and cool enough in the comics, I'll let your little company go out of business soon." Not even with the Osborne Group behind it!"

It's a small threat to Tony.

And there is also a super blockbuster hero that no one expected. That's when Captain Steve Rogers officially gave the rights to his comic book image to Marvel!

Obviously, Captain Rogers is still in a lawsuit with the military, for the sake of his personal image copyright issue, why did he grant his image copyright to others now?

This question was answered by the time the new manga was published in the first issue. Because the new publication did not use the name "Captain America", which had been called for 70 years.

Instead, the name "Steve Rogers" was directly used as an image. For so many years, the military has used "Captain America" as a marketing point, tying Rogers to the country.

And at Matt's suggestion, in order to avoid possible disputes in the future. Li Jie and Rogers directly signed a new copyright agreement, directly circumventing the name of Captain America. Uses Captain Rogers' real name.

To outsiders, this is like taking off your pants and farting. But legally speaking, the name Captain America has been registered as a trademark by the U.S. military, and it is impossible for them to give it up.

Matt's approach to this reminded Li Jie of the story of Jia Duo Bao and Wang Laoji, China's famous herbal tea drink. However, this incident is still a little different from that herbal tea drink.

The name Captain America is not nice to say. The military and the government are free to put it on the head of any American soldier. But Captain Rodgers, there's only one in the whole world.

If Captain America wasn't Steve Rogers, would anyone else admit it? You know, it was Steve Rogers who saved World War II, not any cat or dog with that title.

As long as Captain Rogers is on his side, then Li Jie is confident that he will be able to set up Captain Rogers' personal cartoon in a very short period of time and become the signature of the entire company!

Marvel has become a world-renowned comic book company in an instant, and now many Hollywood manufacturers have thrown olive branches, hoping to sign a contract with Marvel and win the film adaptation rights of Li Jie's superheroes.

But Li Jie has not simply let go yet. Because although Marvel's popularity has increased, the overall volume is too small. There's no way to negotiate qualifications with Hollywood's big dealers.

It is quite possible that the copyrights of those heroes will be sold cheaply. That's not what Jack wants to see. Therefore, for the second round of funding of Marvel, it is imperative to expand the entire company.

Reminds me of the entertainment empire of Marvel's big move in the previous life, although it was eventually acquired by Walt Disney. But after all, it has also been beautiful, and Marvel Studios used to be a well-known signboard.

Marvel, the company he now founded, has the same name as the company in his previous life. But they have a completely different fate and route. Because Li Jie's heroes are real and not fictional, and at the same time, they also rely on big financiers like the Osborne Group.

Regarding the expansion of the comic company, when Li Jie and Harry negotiated. Harry agreed to the plan without much hesitation.

Because from the perspective of the planning of the entire industry, as well as the expectations for the future. Marvel will be more than just a simple superhero comic book company in the future. The entire company will build an entertainment empire with superheroes as the main body. In addition to being able to practice the concept of "good people have good rewards" that Li Jie put forward at the beginning.

This company will also be a super money-making machine in the future. From ancient times to the present, anything can become obsolete, only entertainment is not eliminated. A good fairy tale can last for a hundred years, a good novel can last for hundreds of years, and a good piece of music can last for thousands of years.

Everything is perishable, only the spirit is immortal.

Harry had already asked the people below to start calculating how much would be needed for the second round of funding. Lee's plans are constantly expanding. He also needs more and more resources.

It's only a matter of time before Marvel becomes a world-class megaplayer.

Time begins to pass slowly in your busy life, and you can't grasp it between your fingers. The last days of high school were also quickly lost. After ushering in the SAT exam, Li Jie and Peter's high school career is almost over.

Li Jie has decided to move out of the house after graduation. Because of his various things, many things cannot be known to his family, so it is very inconvenient to live at home.

His parents did not object to this, after all, he was already an adult. Li Jie is 18 years old this year.

Just as Lee Kit was looking for a suitable property, he was approached by a pair of surprising visitors. Wolverine Logan, along with his son Daiken, is looking for Nightkin and seems to be in need of help.
