readx;?“ Wow...... Animated universe, this one sounds cool......"

Will Benjamin, after a moment's pause, uttered something like this. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Mr. Miller, what exactly are you talking about in the animated universe?"

Byron Scott vaguely felt that there was a lot to be done here, so he asked suspiciously.

Meng Qi smiled slightly and said, "Of course, the animation universe is relative to the comic universe. As you all know, now AC Comics has launched a series of superheroes...... In view of the existence of open creation, with the passage of time, the number of cartoonists involved in the creation of superhero comics will increase rapidly, the number of superheroes will increase, the story will become more and more complex, the setting will become more and more overwhelming, and these superheroes will continue to intersect, and finally build a world, which we can call the comic universe ......"

After pausing for a while, seeing that no one had any questions, Meng Qi continued: "It is foreseeable that this comic universe will be extremely large, so as a TV animation, it is impossible and does not need to fully show the entire comic universe ......."

"So we can recreate the comics, right?" asked Bob Turner.

"That's right, aren't you the core of open-ended creation? You can absorb the essence of different cartoonists' works, intercept the best plots, and combine them to make new animation......s," Meng Qi replied, "So, the animation produced by such a program is already very different from comics, and it can be said that it constitutes a new universe!"

In fact, according to the information in Meng Qi's mind, on Earth, due to the small number of Marvel TV animations, the animated universe mainly refers to animations adapted from DC Comics.

The producer of this series is called Bruce Tim, and due to his success with DC superhero animated films, this series of cartoons is also known as "Tim's Epic".

As professional animators, Will Benjamin and Bob Turner immediately saw the opportunity in the "animated universe", and they looked at Meng Qi with a glint of anticipation in their eyes.

However, as a higher-level Kevin McHale, he keenly noticed that Meng Qi had something to say, so he asked: "Mr. Miller, according to you, since there is a comic universe and an animation universe, then there should also be a movie universe and a TV drama universe, right?"

It's finally here!

That's it!

Meng Qi spent so much time explaining to them what the "comic universe" and what the "animation universe" is, just to introduce the movie!

Before coming here, he knew that as the executive vice president of Huala Bros., Kevin McHale would not only manage the animation channel, but also participate in the affairs of Huala Pictures, and also have a certain say.

For Meng Qi, in the field of American comics, comics are an indispensable and unshakable foundation, but putting superheroes on the big screen is also a fortress that must be conquered in his own animation map.

Of course, Meng Qi is definitely unwilling to hand over the production rights of superhero movies, because this is tantamount to giving away money for nothing.

Take Marvel on Earth, for example, before they took back the production rights, "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", which swept the North American box office, brought them less than $100 million in licensing fees.

And when Marvel began to make its own superhero movies, and through 4 years of foreshadowing, it finally launched "The Avengers", which swept the box office of $1.5 billion at a cost of $220 million.

The difference between before and after is simply a world of difference.

Therefore, for Meng Qi, his bottom line is: the animated version can be licensed, but the film production rights are not imagined!

Despite this, Meng Qi still needs to maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Wara Brothers and the NBO, after all, in terms of film distribution, they have a very good relationship with the theater chain, have a sound publicity and marketing mechanism, and have an extremely strong distribution channel.

Now, since Kevin McHale took the initiative to say "Cinematic Universe", it means that he has become interested in these things, and Meng Qi's goal has basically been achieved.

"Of course, Mr. McHale......," Meng Qi replied with a smile, "I think the movie is a great platform to show the heroism of superheroes......

"That's a good idea...... I think the current level of special effects can also be a good representation of the superpowers of heroes......" Kevin McHale, who is obviously an expert on cinema, said as he thought, "Mr. Miller, I think we can have a deep dive into the topic of the cinematic universe......"

"Damn it, Kevin, why do you want everything......" Byron Scott grumbled again, "Mr. Miller, don't forget, we have a great studio under the NBO too......"

"Byron, we're playing fair...... I'm sure Mr. Miller will choose the one with the most strength!" Kevin McHale responded.

"I'm sorry, Mr. McHale, Mr. Scott......" Meng Qi said with a somewhat regretful smile, "the cinematic universe is just a preliminary idea of mine, I haven't thought about it in depth, I still want to focus on comics...... It's not a good thing to spread too big, isn't it?"

"What a shame......"

Kevin McHale looked at Meng Qi with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"And what about the TV universe?" Byron Scott was clearly not giving up.

"To put it mildly, there is no ...... TV drama universe," Meng Qi said, "In my vision, TV series are more of a supplement and refinement of superheroes and the cinematic universe......"

"How?"

"For example, Superman ......" Meng Qi suddenly thought of a relatively popular series on Earth, so he said, "Don't you want to know how Superman became Superman?"

"Superman is born to be Superman......" Byron Scott wondered.

"No, before he became Superman, he was just a small-town boy named Clark Kent, basically no different from other teenagers, except for a little superpower...... Meng Qi said with a smile.

"Oh my God, I didn't think that the story of Superman's teenage years would be funny!" this time it was Will Benjamin who shouted.

"That's right, Superman became Superman because of the things he went through before he became Superman...... I think the story could be called "The Beginning of Superman," and of course, there's a subtitle: How Clark Kent Became Superman......" says Monch, "and that's what I call a complement and a refinement ......"

"Sell us this story!"

This time, Byron Scott finally got ahead of Kevin McHale.

Meng Qi said: "It's just an idea......

"It doesn't matter, damn it, I have a hunch that if 'Smallville' is made, the ratings will skyrocket!" said Byron Scott.

"Byron, don't you want to ask my opinion?" said Kevin McHale, looking at Byron Scott with a smirk.

The latter sighed and gritted his teeth and said, "Your appetite is so good, you have to eat everything?"

"I'm still saying the same thing, Byron, and the decision is in the hands of Mr. Miller......"

The problem was thrown to Meng Qi again.

Meng Qi also had a headache, the purpose of his trip, firstly, was to contact the high-level of the Wara Brothers and the NBO, and secondly, to throw out the concept of "cinematic universe", plant a seed in their hearts, and open a way for future cooperation.

As for "The Beginning of Superman", it is just a small episode in between, but even so, these two vice presidents are still very interested in this sudden thought, even if Meng Qi said that it was just an idea and there is no script yet, their enthusiasm has not diminished.

However, it also shows how attractive Superman is to the people of the American Federation.

"I couldn't make a decision because the script hadn't started yet, and, more importantly, the Wara Bros. and the NBO TV stations were so good that I couldn't make a choice. ”

Meng Qi's words were still very clever, and he threw the question back.

Kevin McHale thought for a moment and said to Byron Scott, "Byron, I know you used to like to go to Las Vegas...... Why don't you make a bet with me, and whoever wins can have priority in negotiating with Mr. Miller......"

"How to bet?"

"Bet on the ratings! If the ratings of the first episode of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles anime are higher than the ratings of the first episode of Avatars, then I win, and if not, you win!" Kevin McHale replied confidently, as if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had won.
