Chapter 425: DC and Marvel (2)
Owen graciously opens the door and invites Leila in.
As soon as she entered the coffee shop, the warmth immediately dispelled the cold around her body, and what appeared in front of Leila was the expected variety of comic book character posters, portraits, props, and many neatly arranged comic books. If it weren't for the fact that she made all the voices inside disappear as soon as she walked through the door, this is indeed a perfect place to read comics.
"Leila, come and sit here. Like a victorious warrior, Owen proudly smiled at the straight-eyed fellows and invited her to the next seat.
"Thank you. After Leila sat down, she looked around with some interest.
The café is not large, with about ten square tables, and the three tables in the back are a dozen people, all holding comic books in their hands, as if they are having a discussion. But as soon as Lyra entered, the men's conversation stopped, staring at her and Owen as if they were aliens.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but she's the only woman in the store, and even the boss is a man with a lot of water. Maybe that's why she's being watched?
If a girl is stared at by so many people, I'm afraid she will be scared away, but who is Lela? How could she be scared by these young people when she has always been calm in the face of more wolf-like reporters?
"Is there anything wrong with me?" she asked Owen deliberately. Because the store is relatively quiet, even if the sound is not deliberately amplified, it is enough for the whole store to hear.
Sure enough, after she spoke, the people at the back three tables all hid their faces behind comic books, looking like "you can't see me".
Owen glared over there, and then hurriedly said, "No! No! It's just that those people haven't seen girls here for a long time, so they feel curious." But trust me, the coffee here is definitely the best in the world. As he spoke, he raised his hand in the direction of the bar, and the boss responded with the same gesture.
Leila guesses that it was probably the actions of some character in the comics, but she knows all about superheroes from movies and animations, and she doesn't know what the gestures they make.
"Any recommendations?" she said was intrigued by what he said was the best in the world, and even if she wasn't very interested in coffee, if she could taste a cup of deliciousness, it would be a perfect sign for this wonderful afternoon.
"I especially recommend the Batman Super Cup, as well as the Fantastic Four Goblet of Fire. You can try it. Owen said to her excitedly.
Well, Leila says she has no idea what he's talking about. Shouldn't coffee be caramel, Blue Mountain, latte or whatever? What the hell is Batman? What the hell is the Goblet of Fire? Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire have heard of it, but it's been a few years since it appeared, right?
Seeing Owen rushing to wait for her answer, Layla was a little helpless and didn't like him, so she randomly ordered: "Then try the Batman Super Cup." ”
"You've made a good choice!" Owen gave a thumbs up and ran to the bar to ask for coffee.
After he left, Leila had time to continue her observations. If you ignore the dozen or so people who hide their heads behind comic books and are peeking at her, this store is really distinctive. Even in 20 years, there will be people willing to walk into such a store.
She knows very well how popular otaku culture will be in the future, and it is not a trend that will only occur in Japan. Today's comic fans should be regarded as the pioneers of future otaku culture.
Soon, two cups of coffee were brought over by Owen.
Lyra looked at the coffee cup in front of her and understood where the name came from. First of all, the cup is specially made, and the handle is like a superhero holding a cup. She chose the Batman Super Cup, the handle of the coffee cup is the shape of Batman, and the coffee in the cup is also pulled out of a Batman silhouette by milk.
As for the Goblet of Fire in Owen's hand, she thought it should be called Royal Coffee. You put a sugar cube on a spoon, put a few drops of brandy on it, and then light it and you can see a blue flame popping up on it, which is very beautiful.
Maybe it's because there is a flame man in the Fantastic Four that the coffee was named this one?
Leila thinks it's a great idea to learn from, and it should be very popular in theme parks. At least even she found this coffee interesting and would love to order it.
"Taste it!" Owen looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Leila sniffed it, and it did have a very mellow smell, and she took a sip under his expectant eyes.
"How's that?" Owen couldn't wait to know the outcome.
To Leila, he is like a child showing off his toys, and the treasure he finds wants others to recognize. At the age of twenty-four or five, he can still maintain such a "childlike innocence", which can only be said to be absolutely due to his love for comics.
"It tasted good. "That's the truth. It is indeed a very mellow coffee, and it is clear that the owner also put his heart into it, and does not rely solely on some comic gimmicks to make money.
Owen made another triumphant gesture with his boss and smiled happily.
Layla looked at his coffee, "You like Fantastic Four?"
"Actually, my favorite is Spider-Man. Owen lowered his voice and whispered, "But I don't want to see a spider in a coffee cup, even if it's a candy cube made of a spider." ”
Leila was disgusted by the image she had imagined, and she definitely didn't want to see a spider in her coffee cup.
After talking about coffee for a while, she naturally turned to what she wanted to know: "Which one do you think would be more suitable for the big screen if it were made into a movie?"
"Oh, you're talking about an exciting possibility. Owen shrugged: "There have been Batman before, there have been Superman, they are okay, it is easier to shoot." But Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four? Do you think the movies are going to make them so good? How can they get the spiders flying around, and how can they make the Flame Man who turns into flames? Not to mention the others. ”
Superheroes have their own abilities, and Batman is indeed simpler, he has some high-tech assistive technology and his own strength. If you want to tap the potential of more heroes, it is impossible to support them without sufficient special effects.
Layla knows what the future holds, how many eye-popping box office superheroes will make on the big screen in the future, and she's reborn with memories of the future, and it's impossible to say she's not interested in it at all!
Not only was she interested, but she wanted to bite a big enough piece of profit into it.
