Asuka Comics, the staff is busy at Chris's behest, and they are preparing for the upcoming Watchmen comics.

Chris finished his business, made a series of phone calls, and after the other party was connected, he said, "Please, everyone, you can start promoting." ”

From July 10th to 17th in North America, newspapers and magazines reported on "Watchmen".

"The Watchmen are guarding the people, who will watch over them, stay tuned for the July 18th issue of the Watchmen comic".

"It's amazing...... the so-called heroes in Watchmen each have complex and shocking psychological profiles. —New York Times Book Review.

It's a book that changed the industry, challenging the highest possible achievement in comics, and if you've never been exposed to graphic novels, Watchmen is the best place to start, so stay tuned for July 18th, Lestrore's first comic...

During these seven days, there were "Watchmen" advertisements everywhere, and "Watchmen" posters were also put up in New York Times Square, and Lester spent $3.4 million to promote the superhero comic in order to make a name for himself.

……

On July 18th, at the San Francisco comic store, Okoda walked into the comic store, not to the comic area of other areas, but to the science fiction comic area.

As a sci-fi fan, Okoda is a keen reader of all kinds of sci-fi comics and novels.

It's really a new comic, I didn't expect it to be such a wonderful story. Approaching the sci-fi area, Okoda heard the excitement coming from there, which made him curious: "Could it be that the sci-fi boss has written a new sci-fi comic." ”

Walking in, Okoda was slightly surprised to see that there were so many people in the sci-fi comic area.

"Wade, what are you looking at. Okoda asked, pulling his friend in a chair;

"Who!" Wade's interest in reading comics was disturbed, Wade raised his head with an unhappy face, saw that it was his friend, his unhappy face converged, shook the comics in his hand that had been paid, and enthusiastically recommended: "Watchmen, a comic written by Lestrore, I didn't expect that the author, who is mixed in the novel industry, can make such a new superhero comic." ”

The comics are Lester's personal thoughts, and Chris naturally attributed the author's name to Lester, and as soon as "Watchmen" is watched by others, the first thing they see is the author Lesterlore.

Both of them are science fiction fans, and they often discuss those science fiction issues together, and when they heard Wade so enthusiastically recommend this "Watchmen", Okoda was itching to know what the story of "Watchmen" was like, which could arouse the admiration of his good friend Wade, and waved his hand to him and said, "I'll also buy a copy and take a look." Turning to the shelf with the comics, he pulled out a copy of the Watchmen comics, paid for it, and sat next to Wade to flip through it.

As the comic story in it went on, Okoda didn't expect him to see a different superhero.

"The superheroes told in Watchmen have completely subverted superhero comics, which is a sign of the beginning of a new era in comics!"

Okada looked halfway through with a shocked look in his eyes, stopped reading the comics, and pondered.

"Watchmen" made him feel that it was a work that could have been sent to the Hugo Awards.

In addition to being a science fiction fan, Okoda is also a Hugo Award worker, he has read a lot of science fiction novels and comics, and even Marvel and DC Comics superheroes, but it is the first time he has seen a plot that subverts superheroes.

"Wade, what do you think of this Watchmen book sent to the Hugo Awards? Okoda asked Wade.

Both of them are staff members who work in the Hugo Awards, and it would be very good to find that the works that make them very excited not be favored by the Hugo Awards.

"Okay!" Wade's eyes lit up when he heard Okoda's words, and he nodded in agreement;

"Then we'll send this "Watchmen" to the Hugo Award right away, maybe there will be a nomination for this comic at the Hugo Awards next year. The two agreed, got up and walked out of the comic shop, walking towards the Hugo Award office.

Unbeknownst to Lester, a Watchmen comic was sent to the Hugo World Science Fiction Society.

"Watchmen" was vigorously promoted by Lester, although the sales were not as high as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Transformers", but because of the subversion of the previous superhero plot, it was loved by many people, and sold 200,000 copies on the first day.

When Lester saw the results of "Watchmen", he left the matter to Chris with confidence.

…

In the office, Lester watched Chris out, looked at Dimes and said, "Is the date of "Top Gun" agreed? ”

"It has been agreed that "Top Gun" will be released in theaters on August 18. Dimes said;

Lester was a little surprised that the theater chain agreed to his film so quickly, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't they shirk anything?"

"Nope. Dimes shook his head, and said with a smile and some disdain for those people in the theater: "Thanks to your leadership, the boss, let "Back to the Future" move to the big screen, so they made a lot of money, so this time to talk to them, there is basically not much resistance, they also want to see if the third film of Asuka Film and Television will sell well." ”

When Lester heard this, he said with some mockery: "It's all a group of people who can't afford to be early." ”

Dimes wanted to say that everyone is a person who can't afford to be unprofitable, but he thought of saying it early, and he probably wanted to scold, so he stopped his mouth, thinking that his movie would collide with other movies that collided with the date, and said: ""Top Gun" will be released on August 18, and it will collide with the date on "Modern Nanny". ”

"It's fine. Lester said in a confident tone: "Top Gun will be fine if it collides with any movie in August." ”

"You're so confident. Dimes looked at the boss's confident face and said helplessly;

While others are still worried about whether their films can achieve good results, their bosses are not in a hurry at all.

"How's 'ER Story' being put together. Lester asked about the TV.

The reorganization of the television network has basically been completed, and the cable television network is now being handled by the operator.

Dimes said solemnly: "'ER Story' has been formed, and we are looking for a director. ”

"You don't have to look for a director, you go to Rob Holcombo, and the director chooses him to direct. Lester still thinks it's better to find the original director to direct, and others may not be able to figure out the kind of situation that people can still watch in the fast-paced and complex medical terminology.

"I'll go. Dimes didn't even think about why Lester wanted a new director, but he knew very well that Lester had a unique vision, and the directors Lester chose in the first few times were very successful.

With the two things in order, Lester went back into the editing room and began to finish editing the rest of "Top Gun".
