Chapter 1532: New York's Troubles (Part II)

Schiller and Peter finished their dinner together in Hell's Kitchen's small clinic, and it wasn't until it was completely dark that the two of them boarded the shuttle together.

Peter was still a little worried, obviously thinking about how to solve George's problem, and Schiller gave him some psychological counseling, but it didn't have much effect.

Spider-Man's moral bottom line is unshakable, and he would rather struggle with himself than find problems from others.

Peter got off the bus at the Queens stop, and Schiller stood on the shuttle and waved goodbye to him, watching Peter's back blend into the lights.

Good people are destined to face more troubles at every stage of their growth, but Spider-Man can always solve the problems on his own, after all, he is one of the few superheroes in New York who has both a moral bottom line and a sound mind.

With this in mind, Schiller returned to the Arkham Sanatorium, only to find another guest waiting for him, Eddie Bullock, who had brought with him a large pile of manuscripts and materials.

The two sat down in the elevated reception area on the second floor, and Eddie got straight to the point: "ABC wanted to make a documentary about the solar system's development plan, and they contacted Tony Stark, and Tony found me again. ”

Eddie pushed the manuscript forward and said, "This is the draft plan, you can take a look at it first." ”

Schiller picked up the manuscript and saw that on the first page was the name of the projectβ€”"The Man of the Day."

"They wanted to build on the important people in the solar system development project, starting with their day-to-day work, to show the general public the true side of the human stalwarts, to trace their upbringing, and to tell everyone how they came this far and finally embraced the sun," said Eddie, rummaging through his briefcase. ”

Eddie handed over another list, pointed to it and said to Schiller: "This is the list of personnel of the project team, the personnel structure and technology of the project team are very mature, the director Errol Morris has won many documentary awards, and the style of interviews, historical materials and restoration interpretation is also suitable for this kind of subject." ”

"Who exactly?" Schiller asked.

Eddie sighed softly and said, "You know, they can't make this a real epic, so no one will watch it, and if it's a little entertaining, naturally they have to shoot controversial characters." ”

"Tony Stark?"

"He's the bull's-eye." Eddie nodded, and continued: "Captain America is also among them, as well as Peter Parker, a rising star in the scientific community, whose background and upbringing are very much in line with the tone of the American Dream, and the president wants him." ”

"Who else?"

"Matt." Eddie pushed his black-rimmed glasses, took a sip of his coffee and said, "Disabled people are still lawyers, and Peter Parker is the same, and there has to be a black man." ”

"Don't tell me it's Nick."

"Of course not, the vampire hunter Eric is black and has a bizarre upbringing, and the mysterious creature of the vampire has its own amount of conversation, and he has a good personality, and he has a good conversation, which can ease some of the overly serious atmosphere."

"What about women?" Schiller asked.

"First of all, Natasha, who has the most credit, is excluded, because she is a former Soviet national, and agents are not suitable for television."

Eddie put his hands on the table, clasped his fingers together and said, "There are several candidates now, Dr. Dora, who used to work for the Life Foundation, Jessica, who is now famous among superheroes, Jean Grey, a teacher at Xavier's Gifted Youth Academy, and so on. ”

"The characters in the documentary need to have a certain story, which can not only be bizarre life experiences or tortuous growth experiences, but also ideological concepts or the current situation that is still in trouble."

"These are good candidates." Schiller commented, but Eddie knew he had something to say, so he just listened quietly.

"Including the male heroes proposed before, it's not bad, but I think the essence of the documentary is to reveal some stories or characters to the public that they are not familiar with, rather than following the trend and re-shooting the stories that have been repeated thousands of times in the newspaper headlines."

Eddie sighed deeply and said, "What director didn't have such a dream when he graduated from the academy?" Like what news media person doesn't want to reveal the truth to the public when he is just starting out? ”

"The film must be topical, because only topics and traffic can bring economic benefits, can investors be satisfied, and only explosive news can bring stock growth, even if I didn't choose economic benefits 10,000 times, I can understand that the people who chose it want to rely on it to fill their stomachs."

"Then we can change the investment format of this documentary a little bit." Schiller waved his finger slightly, he looked down at the manuscript on the table and said: "The idea of this project is quite good, we have too many things that need to be announced to the public, but need to be gradual and subtle. ”

"Rather than making a biography, make a group biography, grouping the heroes into different groups and telling their stories from multiple perspectives, such as the Avengers led by Captain America and Iron Man, Matt and his students, the Spider Army with many Spider-Men, the Brotherhood of Mutants and Xavier's School for the Gifted Boys, or even the Holy of Holies with Kama Taj or Asgard."

Eddie's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "But do you know how much investment it takes?" ”

"So we can't leave it to the TV station to shoot it, but we have to do it ourselves." Schiller stood up and walked behind Eddie's back, came to the high railing, and put a hand on Eddie's shoulder and said, "Don't you have a dream of directing?" ”

Schiller visibly felt the muscles on Eddie's shoulders stiffen, and he turned around and continued: "The Stark Group, S.H.I.E.L.D., and even the entire solar system development program will help you, you won't have any financial troubles, and even the protagonists of these stories will try their best to cooperate with you in the interpretation." ”

"We have so many stories to make, so thrilling, so ups and downs, and the people who have witnessed these stories are the best people to interview, and they can tell their lives through your lens."

"How did Iron Man go from being a playboy to the head of the solar system development program? How did Captain America find his place through two great changes in the times? What has genius researcher Peter Parker been bothering lately? How did Asgard, which used to exist only in the realm of mythology, bothered with family matters? ”

Schiller felt Eddie's heart beat and breathing faster, he withdrew his hand, sat down across from Eddie again, looked at him and said, "I can make sure that the doors of any office, lab, or event venue are open for you while you're shooting." ”

"You'll have the best equipment, the perfect location, and the best cinematographers, Spider-Man, and you can use your talents to the fullest."

"Of course, I don't think any good documentary director would refuse to participate in such a documentary, and the production team is destined to go down in history."

Before the water on the cup was even half drunk, Eddie left in a hurry, and it was obvious that he was very excited now, because during the conversation, when the poison didn't even come out to make trouble, it must have been the dopamine secreted by Eddie's brain that had already fed him.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Schiller arrived at the Dream School through the base of the Radiant Alliance's Dream World, and now that it had expanded to include more students and teachers, he was greeted by students as he walked towards his office.

Schiller nodded to them, and he went to the bookshelf in his office and began to rummage through it, and after a while he said with some confusion: "I remember that I put a few notebooks written by Master Kama Taj here before, could it be that which student borrowed them last time?" ”

Schiller shook his head, sighed, and left the office and began to walk upstairs, where he arrived at Strange's office, but he was not seen in the office, only two students were helping him organize the shelves.

"Where's Dean Strange?" Schiller asked the two students.

One of the students was a little surprised, and he said, "Didn't the dean tell you?" He's taken a leave of absence, probably not for the last month. ”

Schiller was a little surprised, because he hadn't heard of it, so he had to leave the dream world, sleep until dawn, and then go to the Holy of Holies to find Strange.

He thought that some important work in the Holy of Holies might have stumped Strange and left him no time to teach in the dream world, but he didn't expect the front desk of the Holy of Holies to tell him that Strange was not here.

Then Schiller went to Asgard again, but instead of Strange, he found Loki, and the two sat down in the reception area of Asgard, and Loki asked the waiter to pour Schiller a glass of wine, which looked like they were going to have a long talk.

"Stephen hasn't been doing well lately." As soon as Loki spoke, Schiller frowned, and he took a sip of wine and said, "The problem is in his family, he and his brother are at odds with each other. ”

"Stephen is now successful, of course, he hopes that his brother can enjoy a better life in New York, but his brother is not adapted, and he always wants to go back to his hometown farm, and the two parted happily."

"But some time ago, his younger brother was in a car accident, and when he was sent to the hospital for treatment, he was diagnosed with liver problems, which was suspected to be genetic, and this disease could not be cured in that small place in their hometown, so of course Stephen wanted him to stay and enjoy the medical conditions in New York."

Schiller sighed, he could have imagined the next scene without Loki continuing to say, Strange had always been obsessed with this matter, because he felt that when his father was sick, he had delayed treatment in a small place, otherwise it would not have deteriorated to that point.

But Strange's father and his younger brother Victor both worked as farmers for a living, without much higher education, and farmers all over the world have something in common: they think that the grain harvest is bigger than the sky, and they have to look at their farms to feel at ease, and if they can endure the pain, they can endure the pain, and if they can't, they will prescribe painkillers.

Strange is a top surgeon and a genius, since his debut, he has never encountered so many strange patients like general practitioners or internists, in his opinion, it is human nature to seek treatment when he is sick, but I didn't expect that the medical blind was in my own home, how angry he would be.

"You'll have to persuade him." Loki looked at Schiller and said, "You also know that Stephen's personality is a bit extreme, he is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal, and unlike us, he sometimes does not weigh the gains and losses, he only seeks to have a good idea, and he is crazy more than anyone else." ”

"I thought he had been busy lately, so he didn't show up, who knew that he was actually taking care of his family, which was my dereliction of duty." Schiller stood up, and then said, "I'll go and see him, do you know where he is?" ”

"Presbyterian Hospital Intensive Care Ward 103, greet him on my behalf."
