Chapter 585: Iron Man's Premiere (Subscription Requested)

"Who's Lynn Rhyth?"

The matter on Twitter continued to ferment, and reporters were naturally very concerned about the parties' opinions on this matter, but when the reporters found Xiao Zhu, who was taking Scarlett Johansson shopping, he asked inexplicably.

That look, that attitude, as if I really didn't know that Lynn Rhys was spraying him on Twitter.

In fact, Xiao Shu really didn't know who Lynn Reth was, and even the things on Twitter, he only knew a little bit through Jessica, but soon, he put this matter behind him, because he had more important things to do.

On the second day of the release of "The Hunger Games", Xiao Shu met Marvel's main creator Stan Lee, and the first thing this old man said when he saw Xiao Shu was: "The board of directors asked me to meet with you, but I don't think we have anything to talk about, you don't know what a superhero is, you are just a speculator of capital." ”

is different from the various superheroes created by Stan Lee, in reality he is such a stubborn and stubborn old man, this guy has a very bad impression of Xiao Zhu, so he shows it straightforwardly.

Xiao Zhu almost couldn't resist paying a high price to talk to the gold-level persuasion card, but considering Stan Lee's influence in the hearts of Marvel fans around the world, he still dismissed the idea.

Extraordinary props below the diamond level, in the face of such a hugely influential person, are congenitally at a disadvantage, and the effect that can be played is relatively weak, but if Xiao Zhu completes the special task of "Sweeping America", he can consider using the "cause and effect card" rewarded by the task, directly reversing the cause and effect, tampering with Stan Lee's life growth trajectory, and making him his loyal slave. But if that's the case, there's no need to waste this precious prop on Stan Lee.

In front of reporters, Xiao Shu said that Stan Lee was a highly imaginative genius, but Stan Lee did not say much, neither praised Xiao Shu, nor expressed his hostility towards Xiao Shu.

Since then, Xiao Zhu has maintained his "enthusiasm" for Marvel in a high-profile manner, and on the other hand, under the recommendation of Hugh Hefner, he has met with some senior executives of Warner Bros., and in just one week, Xiao Shu has acquired about 2% of Warner Bros. Entertainment's shares.

Don't underestimate this 2%, it cost Xiao Zhu about $200 million! Warner Bros. Entertainment's market capitalization is as high as more than $15 billion! Xiao Shu is the acquirer, which means he has to pay a premium.

This is still through Hugh Hefner's relationship, if Xiao Zhu himself alone, even if it is even 2% of the shares, he will not be able to get it, this is the strength and shackles of the super group company, even Wall Street is helpless against Warner, let alone Xiao Zhu.

But this 2% stake means that Xiao Shu really knocked on the door of Warner Bros. Entertainment, and then the talks with Warner Bros. became much easier, for example, Warner Bros. promised Xiao Shu that he would cooperate with him in the development of "The Hunger Games" and other copyrights, provided that these copyrights can pass the review of the relevant departments.

Xiao Shu will not tell the other party that his fundamental purpose is actually their equity, and now it is just the beginning.

took Scarlett to get rid of the reporters' pursuit and interception, and smoothly returned to the mansion in Billy Hills, Xiao Shu lay lazily on the chair, Scarlett lay in his arms, this woman has been eating the marrow recently, and she has been pestering Xiao Zhu almost every day, and fortunately, Imanka has been recognized by Rip because of her excellent performance in the "Los Angeles Times" acquisition war, and was transferred back to the Rip Fund and got busy again, otherwise Xiao Shu even doubted that according to his strong physical fitness, he would not be squeezed dry!

In the evening, he took Scarlett to Mr. Zhou's restaurant outside, because of his residence here, Xiao Shu has often eaten here recently, and he gradually found that this kind of Chinese food prepared for the taste of Westerners, he gradually got used to it, and after eating, he was stunned to find that this was actually a unique and interesting experience.

"Mr. Gretel, you're here."

The waiter Brewer smiled at Xiao Shu almost flatteringly, he is an immigrant from Dubai, but he is not very rich, working in Mr. Zhou's restaurant can bring him a salary of about 1,000 US dollars a week, and Xiao Zhu every time he comes to eat, it is basically a tip of 100 US dollars, these days, just the tip has caught up with his salary, so his attitude towards Xiao Zhu has naturally become like this.

"Eat sweet and sour fish today, and then have a plate of fried greens......"

The dishes Xiao Shu ordered were all improved here, and they were all home-cooked, and the life of the rich was also monotonous and boring, even if it was Xiao Shu in his previous life, this kind of day also accounted for most of his life.

"Honey, I heard you're buying Marvel?"

Sitting next to Xiao Zhu, Scarlett took his arm and said in a greasy voice: ""Iron Man" is about to be released tonight, what kind of evaluation do you say it will get?" ”

It seems that two unrelated issues, but as an insider, Scarlett naturally knows some things, "Iron Man" is the beginning of a big series of Marvel Comics, and its success or failure plays a crucial role in investors' evaluation of Marvel's value!

"Is Iron Man coming out?"

Xiao Shu was stunned, and then said to Scarlett suddenly: "My dear, I suggest you buy some Marvel Comics stock now." ”

"Are you saying Marvel can be successful?" Scarlett's eyes lit up, and then said: "Before, Director Jon said that he wanted to shoot it into a big series, saying that there was a superhero character who would play a supporting role in it, and I think it was a bit nondescript to play a supporting role in a commercial film, so I have been thinking about it, and now it seems that I should think about it." ”

Xiao Shu asked pointedly, "What character?" ”

"Black Widow, have you heard of it?" Scarlett looked at Xiao Zhu expectantly.

Xiao Shu smiled, and nodded immediately: "Of course, she is a typical superheroine under Marvel, born in the Red Empire, trained as a secret agent since she was a child, and entered the 'Red Room' and was transformed, she has undergone great changes since she was a child, not only has she been delayed in aging, but she has even gained superhuman combat ability, just like the deadly poisonous spider Black Widow!" ”

Scarlett smiled happily, she was proud that she was able to find a boyfriend who understood the elements of the movie, no matter how you look at it, Xiao Shu is really perfect, she looked at Xiao Shu expectantly, and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Get involved, of course!"

Xiao Shu said without hesitation: "The "Hunger Games" series is about to start filming, it will accumulate a lot of experience and popularity for you, and it can also be used as the beginning for you to become a feminist fighter, but "The Hunger Games" will inevitably not be loved by the main group of people in North America, I am naturally referring to those men, so if you want to become a real superstar, a series of super-produced commercial films must participate, not only that, I feel that there is value for further development in the copyright of the series "Black Widow", I'm going to work on that and try to get you to shoot a big commercial film entirely based on Black Widow after you play this role! ”

"Great, dear!"

Scarlett happily jumped on Xiao Zhu and kissed him fiercely.

Xiao Shu took it calmly, he even whispered a word in Scarlett's ear, and then Scarlett slapped him with a shy face, but he answered softly in a nasal voice and agreed to Xiao Shu's request, which made Xiao Shu's heart itch, and he was going to pull Scarlett to do something shameful after eating.

But Scarlett wanted to watch "Iron Man", Xiao Shu would not force his woman to do it according to his own will, he also thought that he seemed to be invited by Stan Lee, so he made a phone call to Jessica, and in less than five minutes, a brand new Lincoln appeared in front of Xiao Zhu, this Lincoln is a new car just purchased by the headquarters of New Century Entertainment, and he bought 5 cars in one go, and it cost 600,000 US dollars, which is really cheap. However, in terms of ride comfort, it is more comfortable than the same type imported from China with a single price of up to 2 million.

The premiere of "Iron Man" is located at the Hollywood Theater in Los Angeles, Xiao Shu just accepted Stan Lee's invitation, usually this kind of invitation, it is to save face, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come, so the crew didn't expect Xiao Shu to come.

At the entrance of the Grand Theater, superstars appeared on the red carpet, Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, etc., almost all arrived. "Iron Man" is a super production produced by Marvel and distributed by Walt Disney.

When Xiao Shu took Scarlett out of the car, he heard the sound of mountains and tsunamis outside, and these voices almost shouted the name of "Gwyneth" in unison.

Xiao Shu thought for a long time and didn't remember who this name was, until Scarlett next to her said softly: "Gwyneth is the heroine of "Iron Man", playing the female secretary of Iron Man, nicknamed Little Pepper, in fact, she is almost a co-executive of Stark Industries in the play, and her role is quite heavy, not a pure vase......"

When she said the name, Scarlett's eyes flickered a little, in fact, she participated in the audition for "Iron Man" a year ago, and she fought for the role of "Little Pepper", but then she was inexplicably brushed down, and then she learned that she was replaced by Gwyneth, as early as 98 years, she won the 71st Oscar Award for "Shakespeare in Love", it can be said that she crushed Scarlett in all aspects, and in this regard, Scarlett, who has always been competitive, is inevitably a little unconvinced.

At this time, the car in front of the extended Lincoln stopped, and a woman with a backbone figure stepped out of the car, she was wearing a pink backless evening dress, which looked very luxurious, and the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak.

"Gwyneth! I love you! ”

"Great, it's Gwyneth!"

"Gwyneth, can you stop and say a few words?"

Both the paparazzi and the fans cheered enthusiastically, and Gwyneth obediently stopped and replied to the reporters' interviews one by one.

"Let's go, let's get out of the car too."

Xiao Shu didn't react, when he came to the United States in his previous life, Gwyneth was already in her forties, and it was impossible for Xiao Shu to react in the face of such an old woman, although even at that time, Gwyneth was still quite charming.

He pulled Scarlett out of the car, and as the man who had been making newspaper headlines a lot lately, someone quickly recognized him.

"Oh my God, it's Gretel Diao!"

"Mr. Gretel, is it true that you're trying to buy Marvel Comics?"

"Mr. Gretel, why are you attending the premiere of Iron Man?"

A large number of reporters gathered around, and even Gwyneth, the heroine of "Iron Man", was slightly inferior in this situation.

Xiao Zhu didn't speak, but pulled Scarlett straight forward, he was sometimes arrogant, just because that was when he could be arrogant, and insolence could bring him benefits, but now it is different, "Iron Man" is about to be released, and Marvel's market value will further rise, in this case, fools will continue to fuel the arrogance of Marvel Comics.

"Mr. Gretel, please say a few words."

"Mr. Gretel......"

The atmosphere at the scene became more enthusiastic, the so-called what you can't get is the best, Xiao Shu's accelerated departure made the scene a little commotion, and even the reporters in front of Gwyneth moved closer to Xiao Shu, trying to get a sentence or two from Xiao Shu's mouth.

Gwyneth frowned, as the heroine of "Iron Man", the crew specially arranged the premiere for her to appear last, which was almost the finale, other stars, even if they didn't have time to walk the red carpet, would not appear at this time, "disturbing" her "interest", but I didn't expect that there was an accident at this time.

The other party is not a Hollywood person, but an investor, a rich man. Gwyneth took a deep breath, admonished herself in her heart, told herself not to care, and quickly stepped forward.

But when she came to the door of the Hollywood Theater, she still couldn't help but look back, and in the crowd, Xiao Zhu and his female companion Scarlett were particularly dazzling.

"See? The woman next to that person seems to be going to appear in the second part, playing the superhero Black Widow. ”

A man appears next to Gwyneth, with a face that many people recognize, and although he looks to be in his forties, he follows the "law" of Hollywood men who are more attractive the older they get, and this man has a superstar smell all over his body.

"Pete, you're here too? It seems that Disney has really made a lot of money. Gwyneth raised an eyebrow and said that Brad Pitt was her ex-boyfriend, and unlike Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie, the two broke up peacefully and still keep in touch.
