Mark Miller disappointed Don quite a bit, and later ...... That is, it is business, don't think about special care.

However, the fact that the "Wanted" comic was ordered to rectify still annoyed Don.

The situation is all too clear.

The Comics Standards Authority, led by DC Comics, is going all out to crack down on Marvel Comics. Even Marvel-related comic book companies have been implicated.

There must be a shadow of Warner behind this.

Marvel and DC, from the beginning of the last century, have been rivals to each other.

Many superhero images are copied by you and me, and I copy you, and copyright lawsuits continue.

Before that, the comic market was too small for Don to look down on.

Moreover, in 2001, when the "X-Men" comics were ordered to rectify, New Universal had not yet appeared, and with the strength of Down Pictures, it could not compete with Time Warner.

Now it's different.

Who's afraid of whom?

The last time DC made a secret move, Don endured it, withdrew from the Comic Book Standards Authority with Marvel, played his own, and came up with a Marvel rating system.

Unexpectedly, here it is again!

Universal Pictures had just reached an agreement with Miller World to acquire the rights to the "Wanted" comics and adapt them into movies, while the other side had an accident ...... the "Wanted" comics.

It's a bit embarrassing, isn't it?

Don will not rise to the height of the confrontation between New Universal and Time Warner, after all, the comic book market is very unremarkable.

But a lesson must be taught to the Comic Code Authority, and the DC Comics behind it!

……

The Marvel Company, headquartered in New York.

However, in the Marvel Building on the new Universal Headquarters campus, half a floor of space was set aside for the comics department as the second headquarters of Marvel Entertainment.

He is mainly responsible for the business development of Marvel Comics in the film and television industry.

Stan Lee, who has taken a back seat, is the top executive on the West Coast. He is the godfather of Marvel and led the company as chairman as early as 20 years ago.

It's just that the management level is not enough and the operation is not good......

After he took a back seat, he was mainly active in California, promoting cooperation between Marvel and Hollywood, and occasionally making guest appearances in film and television productions.

Don didn't have time to go to New York to meet Alan Vane and Dan Buckley, the heads of Marvel Entertainment, and the same was true for communicating directly with Stan Lee.

"The current comic market is not in the right mood!"

Don didn't call the other party to the office, but made a special trip to his house.

The old man was wearing a nightgown and looked ...... It's like the playboy Hugh Hefner, but there are a few beauties around him, and even the nanny doesn't have much to look like.

Stan Lee is in his 80s, but his body is very strong, he has lit a cigar, and his white eyebrows are slightly raised.

Don said: "You know the "Wanted" comics, right? But the latest issue of the comic was investigated and dealt with by the Comic Standards Administration, and rectification was required. ”

Stan Lee's cigar was in his mouth, and he forgot to smoke it, slightly stunned.

His level is higher than that of Mark Miller, and he can naturally see some of the mysteries behind it.

"Hey!"

Stan Lee was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Tang En said quietly: "I think the Marvel rating system launched by Marvel is good, and it is more in line with the current social environment than the outdated standards of the Comic Book Standards Authority." ”

Stan Lee looked at him amusedly, "This time it's in the comic market?"

Tang En shrugged his shoulders, didn't hide it, and said lightly: "I have no quarrel with the world, but I blame others for bullying me." ”

Stan Lee didn't take a good puff of cigarette, coughed violently, and pointed at Don with a smile.

After waiting for his breath, he squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "The comic market ...... The volume is not large, except for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and a few others, most of the other comic companies are in a state of barely surviving. ”

"So, this is evil! The culprit is the Comic Code Authority!"

"It's not that serious. ”

Tang En said disapprerovingly: "I've been to Japan a few times, and over there, ordinary bookstalls, convenience stores, high-end bookstores, and cafes all have manga, and many of them are adult-level manga. The United States is also a big country in comics, but the subject matter of comics is ...... It's really limited. ”

Stan Lee understood as soon as he heard this, "Are you trying to repeat the mistakes of the past?"

The American comics of the past are no different from the Japanese comics of today.

They are all focused on heavy taste and large scale.

In other words, Japanese comics are the trend brought by the US military stationed in Japan in those years, and they are the trend of comics in the United States in the forties and fifties.

The main category is suspense, detective, emotional, and ethical. (DC Comics, translated as detective comics.) ）

However, after the Comic Standards Administration came out, most of the large-scale comic themes were cut.

Superheroes start a family dominance.

Tang En shook his head and said: "Not really, at least you can use your imagination to create more market space." For example, the "Walking Dead" comic, the zombie theme, has long been popular in Japan, but in the United States, it is still a novel theme. Old man, except for superheroes, our comics are too far behind Japan!"

Stan Lee groaned slightly, "Our cartoonists are never short of creativity! ”

"Awesome!

Don gave a thumbs up.

Stan Lee didn't take it big in front of Donn, and waved his hand with a smile, "I understand what you mean, it's to open up more creative space for cartoonists." ”

"Yes, that's what it means. ”

Don smiled, "The lifeless Comic Code Authority is behind the times. The comic book market has changed a lot from back then, and it is no longer necessary to rely on the support of the American Magazine Merchants Publishing Association to publish and distribute. Publishing companies are everywhere, and Dark Horse and ID Comics also have their own publishing departments, so they don't have to be limited by power anymore. Comics also need freedom of publishing!"

Stan Lee nodded, "What do you want me to do?"

Tang En smiled: "It's very simple, raise your arms and wave your arms! Your position in the comics industry, as long as you rise to the top and resist the power oppression of the Comic Standards Administration and fight for the freedom of comics, presumably, many comic companies will respond en masse." ”

"Yes, many companies have expressed their dissatisfaction more than once. Stan Lee sighed.

Tang En slapped his thigh, "Yes, that's the truth! They are dissatisfied, but they dare not express it, because they are weak and cannot fight against big institutions." But we are not afraid, as long as we are willing to take the lead, we are not afraid of the little brother who does not accompany us!"

Stan Lee's slightly pale face showed a bit of youthful vigor, and he became rosy, "Three years ago, Marvel withdrew from the Comic Code Authority. However, at the time...... Our strength is still weak, we can't take care of other companies, and we can't deal with powerful institutions, especially Time Warner, which is behind DC Comics. We can only choose to opt out ourselves. Now, it's time to help your peers too. ”

"That's right! DC wants to rely on the Comic Code Authority to continue to occupy the leading position in the comic book industry, that is a fool's dream! Times have changed, and the spring of comic book movies is coming! Marvel's movies and TV works will strangle all conspiracies under the sun!" Donn's mood was also very high.

Last year, Marvel's comic sales were 1.8 times that of DC Comics!

However, because DC colluded with the Comic Code Authority, it firmly grasped the right to speak in the comic book circle.

It's still the boss's power.

Feng Shui takes turns, and now, it's time for the American comic circle to come to a wave of earth-shaking reforms!

Marvel's comics are selling so well, and Marvel's movies are popular all over the world.

Marvel ...... There should be an absolute right to speak in the comic circle!

The time is ripe!

"The first step is to bring many comic companies under the umbrella of the Comic Standards Administration! Even if they can't be pulled, we must push them to leave the old system and create a new world!"

Donn's words made Stan Lee, an old man in his 80s, excited.

In his early years, he was also an illustrator for DC Comics.

Because he was not reused, he jumped to Marvel, and then created superheroes such as "Spider-Man", "Hulk", "Doctor Strange", "Iron Man", "Thor", and "Daredevil".

More than 90% of Marvel's superheroes are related to this old man.

It's a pity that for decades, superheroes in the comic book industry have only been respected by "Batman".

Marvel has also been firmly suppressed by DC.

Now, Marvel is backed by the aircraft carrier New Universal, which is enough to compete with Time Warner!

Here's your chance!

Stan Lee, who has worked at Marvel all his life and spent a lifetime of hard work, how can he not be excited in the face of Donne Walker, who dares to change the sun and the moon?

"Good! good!"

Stan Lee spoke three times in a row, expressing his feelings that he had suppressed for decades.

Don En smiled: "Don't look at the comics of the "Batman" series, the sales are still at the top of the list, don't worry! Hehe, when the time comes, the comics of "Batman", not to mention the two series of comics of "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man", I am afraid that even the "Daredevil" series will not be comparable. ”

"You're involved in making the film...... It never disappoints. ”

Stan Lee stood up tremblingly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked out at the waves in the sun, and took a deep breath.

Don also got up, walked over and stood side by side with him, looked at the sea, and joked, "Maybe there is a Namor hidden in this sea." ”

Stan Lee sighed with emotion and said slowly, "I'm old, and I'm ...... about movies I don't understand much. But in the comic book circle, it's still a little famous. Since you can take a fancy to me, an old man who can't move fast, how can I make a few more trips? Marvel Marvel ...... Marvel!"

This voice "Marvel" represents this life. (https:)
