"Stan Lee?" Lin Youlun was woken up by the phone, and when he picked up the microphone, he was still in a half-asleep state, and he only felt that the name was a little familiar.

"The other party claimed to be the chairman of the board of directors of Marvel Comics......

Applejack hadn't finished talking on the phone when she was interrupted by Lin Youlun.

"Are you sure it's Stan Lee from Marvel Comics?"

Lin Youlun sat up from the bed suddenly, and by the way, he woke up Guan Zhilin, who was sleeping soundly on the side.

Stan Lee can be said to be a veteran figure in the American comic book industry, and the reason why Lin Youlun can remember this old man is not because there are more than 5,000 comic book characters in Magical Comics, and more than 90% of the well-known characters are created by Stan Lee, but this old man has a special habit and likes to show his face in various comic book adaptation super movies, although they are all small roles such as gardeners and bus uncles with only a few seconds of shots, but he himself is tired of it.

Guan Zhilin sat up, hugged Lin Youlun's waist from the side, and asked softly, "Who?" ”

Lin Youlun glanced at Guan Zhilin, and the expression in his eyes was a little complicated.

Since the incident of changing his pants at the drinking party that night, Guan Zhilin has been staying in Lin Youlun's room for the past two days, although Lin Youlun is indeed very obsessed with Guan Zhilin's body, it does not mean that he will take Guan Zhilin lightly.

This woman's scheming is not simple, just now she opened her mouth to say that sentence, it seems to be unintentional, but in fact, there is a different purpose hidden in it, she intends to let the person on the other side of the phone hear her voice, in order to declare her sense of existence.

In order to punish Guan Zhilin for this disobedient practice, Lin Youlun decided to give her a small "lesson".

He gently stroked Guan Zhilin's hair with one hand. The other hand pulled the quilt open.

Guan Zhilin hasn't reacted yet. Lin Youlun's head has been pressed down. Look at the high-spirited erection of the hard. object, she immediately understood what Lin Youlun meant.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Youlun with a pair of big eyes full of embarrassment, and she could see that she didn't want to do this.

Lin Youlun shook his head slightly, his attitude was very resolute.

Guan Zhilin hesitated for a moment, but finally lowered her head, opened her mouth to take the hard object in her mouth, and made it jerkily.

Lin Youlun continued to stroke Guan Zhilin's hair with one hand. Pick up the phone with the other hand.

"Go on, what is Stan Lee looking for me for?"

Applejack was a little puzzled on the other end of the phone, why Lin Youlun had paused for so long just now, but at this time, he could only drive those chaotic thoughts out of his mind and continue to report about Stan Lee.

"He said that he wanted Mr. Lin to discuss the matter of cooperating in making a movie, but he didn't say much about the specific situation."

After a period of exploration, Guan Zhilin quickly mastered the trick, and Lin Youlun was very comfortable and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Applejack hears this voice, and her doubts are even greater. I just didn't dare to ask.

While enjoying Guan Zhilin's "service", Lin Youlun was still thinking quickly about the purpose of Stan Lee's coming to him.

There was silence for about seven or eight minutes. Lin Youlun then spoke: "It's good, I know the way!" ”

At the very last moment when the phone hung up, Applejack vaguely heard what looked like a woman coughing, because Lin Youlun had already hung up the phone, so he didn't have time to listen to it.

In the room, Guan Zhilin covered her mouth and sat up from the bed, and ran into the bathroom on the side before she had time to put on her clothes.

——

In the hotel café, Lin Youlun met Stan Lee, who was already 70 years old.

This old man is more talkative than all the people who draw comics that Lin Youlun has come into contact with before, and from the moment they met, he talked about the development history of Marvel Comics in front of Lin Youlun, as well as the birth process of those famous comic characters.

At first, Lin Youlun listened to it with relish, but Stan Lee kept talking like this, without any intention of stopping, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Youlun had to cough and interrupt Stan Lee's narration.

"Mr. Stan, you're not just here today to introduce the history of Marvel Comics, right?"

Stan Lee shrugged, "I'm sorry, I'm saying all this just to give Mr. Lin a little more knowledge about Marvel Comics, which will be very helpful for what I'm going to say next." ”

Lin Youlun understands Stan Lee's statement, but that doesn't mean he's willing to continue listening to Stan Lee's ramblings.

"I own a comic company in Hong Kong, I own a well-circulated comic magazine in Japan, and I have experience with multiple comic book adaptations, so I wonder if this can prove to Mr. Stan that I know what I know about the comic industry?"

Stan Lee's eyes lit up, "Of course, if what Mr. Lin said is true, I have enough reason to believe that Mr. Lin knows a lot about the comic industry." ”

Lin Youlun nodded.

"Can we get to the point, then?"

Stan Lee didn't rush to speak, but thought about his words first.

"I wonder what Mr. Lu Daolin thinks about the comic book adaptation of the movie?"

Lin Youlun frowned slightly, Stan Lee's question was clueless, which made him a little difficult to answer.

"Mr. Stan is referring to the movie box office or what?"

"Of course, it's the box office, but I'm not here to discuss film art with Mr. Lin." Stan Lee is very honest.

"I am very satisfied with the box office of the comic book adaptation movies I invested in filming, and then there is a comic book adaptation TV series, the ratings may not be very satisfactory after it is broadcast in Taiwan, but the response is very good after it is broadcast in Japan, of course, I don't think this is the fault of the manga adaptation, the key is that the manga is more widely circulated in Japan than in Taiwan, so I am not very surprised that this situation occurred."

Lin Youlun shared some of his thoughts on the comic book adaptation with Stan Lee, and the more Stan Lee listened, the more excited he became. Lin Youlun's great attempts and achievements in comic book adaptations have made Stan Lee feel like he has met a confidant.

"So what does Mr. Lin think about the prospects of comic book adaptations in Hollywood?"

"There are studios in Hollywood that are aware of the market potential of comic book adaptations, but no one has fully realized how big a market is for comic book adaptations."

Lin Youlun only expressed his attitude, but did not express his complete opinion.

Stan Lee asked curiously, "How big does Mr. Lin think this market is?" ”

Lin Youlun shrugged, "This depends on the specific comics, in short, I am personally very optimistic about this part." ”

"So is Mr. Lin willing to cooperate with our Marvel Comics Company, and we will prove the true value of this market together?" Stan Lee looked at Lin Youlun expectantly.

Judging from Lin Youlun's attitude just now, Stan Lee didn't think that Lin Youlun would refuse his request, but the result was beyond his expectations, and Lin Youlun refused directly without any consideration.

Stan Lee looked at Lin Youlun with a puzzled expression, "What, does Mr. Lin doubt the sincerity of our cooperation with Marvel Comics?" ”

"Is Mr. Stan really sincere? But why do I think you're treating me like a guinea pig for experiments? ”

Lin Youlun looked at Stan Lee like this, only looking at him as a little weak.

"I don't know why Mr. Lu Daolin has such thoughts?"

"As far as I know, some of the most popular superheroes in Marvel Comics, if they want to adapt their stories into movies and put them on the screen, they need first-class special effects and a lot of financial investment, and Mr. Stan should have proposed similar ideas to other Hollywood studios before approaching me to work with them, but they were all rejected without exception, I guess it's right?"

Stan Lee burst out laughing.

"I thought Mr. Lin wouldn't be as visionless as the directors of those big film companies, but I didn't expect you to be the same person as them, it's really disappointing!"

"If I agree to work with Mr. Stan, will it prove to be very discerning? I don't think so, I'm taking a huge risk and backing a lot of money to bring superheroes to the screen, and what do I get when I succeed? ”

"Friendship with Marvel Comics!" Stan Lee replied without thinking.

Now it was Lin Youlun's turn to laugh.

"What's the use of the Marvel Company's friendship? Can it make Marvel Comics give up cooperating with each other and choose to cooperate with me when other films offer higher prices and better cooperation conditions? ”

Lin Youlun's words suddenly stopped Stan Lee, and he really couldn't make any guarantees to Lin Youlun when it came to business interests.

"So, why should I work with Marvel Comics now?"

By this time, Stan Lee still hadn't given up on convincing Lin.

"We can make money together and share benefits!"

Lin Youlun shook his head and said directly: "I want more than that!" ”

"What does Mr. Lin want?" Stan Lee asked, puzzled.

"I'm going to be amazed at the movie adaptation rights of all the comic book characters!"

As soon as he heard Lin Youlun's condition, Stan Lee immediately shook his head and refused.

"It can't be!"

"But I don't think so."

Lin Youlun took out his pen, wrote a string of numbers on the paper, and pushed it in front of Stan Lee.

Stanley glanced at the astonishing string of 9-digit numbers on the note and looked at Lin Youlun in confusion.

"What do you mean, Mr. Lin?"

"If I were to ask the shareholders of Marvel Comics to make a takeover at this price, does Mr. Stan think they would agree?"

Stan Lee had an incredulous look on his face, "Oh my god, are you crazy?" ”

Lin Youlun shook his head, looked at Stan Lee very seriously, and said: "The acquisition plan has started from this moment, and $600 million is a very reasonable price, and I believe that the shareholders of Marvel Comics will seriously consider it." (To be continued......)
