Chapter 109: Stark Exposition (Three Watches!) )
There was nothing difficult about registering the Spider-Woman trademark, and Richard got it done the next day. It's just that the movie is a little more complicated.
As we all know, in addition to making a movie, you need not only a production company and a shooting team, but also investors, in other words, money. If you want to make a Hollywood blockbuster with a passable level, the investment has to go up to nine figures. Richard may also have a small career success, but it is obvious that he is not the kind of super big guy who can easily spend three or five hundred million spare money to invest in movies, so if you want to make a good movie, sponsors must be indispensable.
So until the right one gets the right one out of pocket, it's just an idea after all, at least that's what Richard thought until this afternoon.
Then Miss Secretary Stephanie showed up in his office in high heels and handed him an invitation.
"Stark Fair?" Richard poked his head out unexpectedly after reading the brief invitation, "It's already started?" ”
"Tomorrow night is the opening ceremony, sir." Stephanie nodded slightly.
Although Richard was not interested in this kind of tech show per se, he was impressed by the Stark Expo. Because this is not just an expo, it marks the beginning of the plot of the movie "Iron Man 2".
Stark Expo is a platform for inventors from all over the world, an ideal city for everyone to unleash their creativity. Many celebrities from all walks of life in New York receive invitations to the opening ceremony, and Richard, as the owner of the daily planet, is naturally among them.
"Are you going to go, sir?" Stephanie asked.
Go? Forget it. When the time comes, it would be good to send a reporter to the scene to cover it.
Technology was not his specialty, and he was not interested in the expo itself, not to mention that it was just an opening ceremony. He could already imagine that the process was nothing more than getting together to eat, drink, and chat, and then watch Tony Stark show off his handsome steel armor falling from the sky and give an arrogant opening speech.
As for the idea of seeing Marvel's Iron Man or something with his own eyes, Richard didn't have any ......
...... Wait a minute, did you just say that there is a shortage of spare money that there is nowhere to spend it, and maybe he will be interested in superhero movies?
Well......
"Go, of course." Richard said.
"Oh?" Stephanie was a little surprised, "I thought you would definitely ...... boss." Refuse. ”
No, how could the boss, an old salted fish whose scientific and technological level is only in the realm of "more proficient application of Windows", suddenly be interested in the expo?
There is a cat greasy, there must be a cat greasy.
"Technology makes everything possible and is the ladder of human development and progress. I have always had the highest respect for science and technology, so how could such a grand event not be held? Richard's face was serious.
Stephanie said in her heart that although I don't believe half a sentence, as a qualified secretary, I won't break it.
But you still have to bring a reporter with you. Can't his dignified boss come to the scene and take a photo with a DSLR in person, right? That's a loss of identity.
So he walked out of the office and glanced at who seemed to be idle, and finally his eyes fell on the little reporter behind the desk who had only turned regular not long ago.
"Cathy."
The little reporter was startled and pointed at himself: "Boss, you called me?" ”
"Are you okay tonight?"
"I ...... In the evening, a former classmate invited me to dinner, and I prepared ......"
Classmates have an appointment for dinner? Richard raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Male or female? ”
“...... Male classmates. ”
"That's all right." Richard waved his hand, "I have a mission in the evening, come with me to the Stark Expo." ”
Oh, if you don't want to work overtime, just slip away in advance, and eat with your classmates?
It's not unacceptable to eat with girlfriends, but also eat with male classmates? Is there such a good thing?
Boss, I'm still old and single at this age, do you still want to get off the list in advance? Inexistent.
For no apparent reason, Richard seemed to be in a good mood all of a sudden, and went back to the office humming a little tune, leaving the little girl with a bitter face wondering how to explain it to the boy......
......
That night, the Stark Fair opened its door.
The wide square was crowded with people, and tens of thousands of people gathered in this square like a frenzied wave. Everyone shouted to the sky in unison, and the sound was like a muffled thunder that kept rolling. On the stage, a huge screen tens of meters high kept playing Iron Man's recent heroics, taking down a terrorist base hidden in a certain mountain range and a pirate ship that attacked Cape Horn......
Sound effects and percussion envelop the crowd through the pavilion's stereo surround sound system, making people feel like they're watching a Hollywood blockbuster.
The pavilion began to shoot fireworks into the sky, and the fireworks crackled and exploded high in the sky. At a height of 1,000 meters, the hatch of a large passenger plane was pulled open, and the solid body of red and gold jumped out, and the soles of his feet lit flames, and flew straight to the center of the stadium against the continuous explosion of fireworks.
Iron Man landed right in the middle of the stage with a thud - a standard superhero "three-point" landing, and the hurricane brought by inertia rushed towards the crowd in all directions. Then, to the applause of the crowd with all his might, dozens of mechanical arms stretched out from under the booth, uncovering his armor piece by piece, revealing Tony Stark, dressed in a tuxedo gown, smiling confidently at the crowd with open arms.
Tony Stark adjusted his breathing in front of the rabid audience and shouted, "It's great to be back!" ”
The shouts rose to another level, propelled by thunderous applause, and the sound was deafening.
Like a movie, Tony began to give the opening speech. Richard and Cathy sat in the last row of the crowd under the booth, chatting over free drinks.
"He's pretty handsome." Cathy was holding a cake in her hand, and her small eyes looked at Stark on the stage as if she was shining.
"Generally handsome." Richard responded casually and did not deny it, after all, Stark is known to be quite attractive, "A little worse than me." ”
Cathy looked at her boss with humility.
Boss, it's not your fault that you're mediocre, but it's not yours if you don't have an X number......
Cathy kind of wanted to say that you should pee and take care of it yourself, but the strong desire to survive still made her hold back, and finally forced a smile: "Aha, that's what I said, it's still worse than the boss after all......"
Richard smiled and nodded. Well, the little girl is quite good at talking, go back and add chicken legs.
Cathy took a deep breath and clutched her chest, as if her heart suddenly ached......
