Chapter 587: A Battlefield Without Gunpowder (5)
Batman: Origins is Batman's first comic.
tells the origin of "Batman", and with the help of Batman's perspective, the positioning of "Gotham, with simple folk customs" is gradually opened.
The first draft of the comic was drawn by Zhou Yang's junior high school classmate Zhang Xiaoya, who was specially polished and remastered, and then reviewed by "Jairo" himself, and finally handed over to the Delaware Press for publication of the first comic.
Jairo was none other than Delaware Governor John Howard's youngest son.
After the first draft of "Batman" was completed, Jairo, the youngest son of the Howard family, was invited to the studio to play "very coincidentally", and "inadvertently" saw the "Batman" comics.
The son hopes to see the follow-up to this cartoon, and also hopes that this cartoon can be seen by more people, and Howard has seen how much benefit and tax revenue this cartoon can cause to Howard State.
On the evening of July 24.
After Howard finished his work, he came to Newcastle County as soon as possible to inspect the corresponding follow-up work.
Rather than inspecting Newcastle County, it is better to look at the construction of his "Howard Theatre", and by the way, to see the situation of the "Delaware" film and television base.
He was not satisfied with the results.
The "Howard Theatre" is being built very slowly, and it will take at least another three months to build it. Peggy was in full swing filming "Wolverine", he stood next to him for a while, although he didn't see anything, but his intuition told him that after the fire of "Spider-Man", there were indeed a lot fewer homeless people in Newcastle County, Delaware, and the homeless tents placed everywhere on the street were also dismantled and replaced with dormitories.
He is quite satisfied with these things, and in the future, these things will become his political achievements, and will even be written into the book along with the history of Delaware.
After a brief stroll, he came to the door of a peripheral store called "Tiancheng Toys" and saw a long queue at the door.
He looked a little closer and found that his wife was working at the door with his youngest son.
The youngest son wore a suit and looked like a little adult, constantly boasting about his great achievements for his "friends" of the same size.
"Hey, actually, I don't want to, but the staff of "Batman" must ask me to help participate in the production of "Batman", I can't help it, so I can only participate in reading the first manuscript......
"See? The name on the comic manuscript, here is my name, I am one of the reviewers......
「……」
Seeing his youngest son pretending to be a stinky fart in front of his companions, Howard couldn't laugh or cry.
Then a phone call between Zhou Yang and him before the release of "Batman" came to mind.
"Mr. Howard...... after the fire of "Spider-Man", in our Chinese words, is to strike while the iron is hot and quickly launch the follow-up superhero project......
""Batman" can take advantage of the popularity of "Spider-Man" to take advantage of the trend to sell, which is an IP and the first step in building Delaware Studios......
"At the same time, it is also the first step in Delaware's entertainment industry......
「……」
Howard pushed his glasses and couldn't help but smile on his face.
It is understandable that "Spider-Man" sold particularly well because of the movie, but no one could have imagined that this comic called "Batman" would sell so well.
If you can really do a good job of these IPs as Zhou Yang said, then the popularity of the entire Delaware will be even higher, and then your re-election career will be ......
"Mr. Governor, the first comic of "Batman" has sold 4,000 copies in the United States today, and the praise for this comic on the Internet is very high!
」
"As for "Spider-Man", it has sold nearly 20,000 copies today, and on the official website, many readers are urging the draft!"
"It's not as good as the sales of DV's established manga, but it's definitely a very good start!"
「……」
When the analyst next to him began to talk about the sales of the two comics, the curvature in the corners of Howard's mouth couldn't help but rise.
A bright future......
It seemed to be gradually blooming before his eyes.
"The Howard Theatre must be quickened! What about Mr. Zhou Yang? When will he be back......
"I guess I won't be back until the Olympics are over, after all, it's a big event in their country......
"He's not going to the Olympics again, by the way, when he comes back, let him come and see me, I want to talk to him about music and art......
"Good ......"
………………………
Tony. Auman finished reading the Batman comics.
The "Batman" comic strip is very delicately drawn and tells the story of accompanying Bruce after his parents are killed. Wayne, who swore to avenge his parents, thus, Bruce Jr. Wayne left Gotham City and traveled the world to learn various knowledge/detective skills and martial arts. Wayne haunts the streets of Gotham City, enforcing justice, but he runs into walls everywhere, is beaten covered in blood, in front of his father's statue he realizes that the dark Gotham City that killed his parents, Gotham City is infested with gangs, corruption is rampant, officials and criminals are complicit, the same thing as his parents, every moment, Gotham City is happening, and the light that can bring darkness to Gotham City is only darker, so the original "Batman" was born in this process.
Tony. Auman finished watching "Batman. After the comic Origins, the emotions became very complicated.
There is no doubt that this is a very good manga, and after reading it, even Tony. Auman was very eager to know what the follow-up would be, and even thought of "Batman" if it was made into a movie, then the movie would ......
He stopped thinking about it and went to the Batman comic book sales point.
"Mommy, I want a Spider-Man suit, I want to be a superhero!"
"Mommy, please!"
"Mommy...... I want ......."
"Thank you, Mommy!"
「……」
After seeing the sales site full of people, Tony. Auman was a little stunned.
The point of sale for the comic is actually to buy a "Spider-Man" suit, and give away the same signed comic of "Spider-Man" and a simplified version of the "Spider-Web Launcher".
This is extremely lethal to children, especially under the call of the movie, countless children began to be unable to walk after coming to the comic book sales point to see the red Spider-Man suit, and begged their parents to buy it. Parents have no choice but to accompany their children to buy ......
Then, in this wave of wind, in addition to snapping up the "Spider-Man" suit, many people spent $1 on a copy of the "Batman" comic book on the recommendation of the store staff......
Tony. When Auman saw this scene, he had a ridiculous thought in his heart without warning.
The "superheroes" on the Delaware side, taking advantage of the wave of "Spider-Man", are quietly rising, and it is even very likely to threaten DV companies.
At the same time, he felt a "sense of being invaded".
Just when he was feeling the pressure, he received a call from DV.
The words on the other end of the phone were a little serious, and it was obvious that they also realized that the fire of "Spider-Man" would have a certain impact on some of the basic industries under the DV company, and the executives were trying to suppress the momentum of "Spider-Man"!
"Batman" on this side has attracted everyone's attention, and in the Star Ocean Cinema chain on the other side, "Grandmaster 2 Top Gun" has ushered in the countdown to its premiere......
The premiere of this movie will completely kick the movie "King Kong Tiger" out of the Chinese film industry!
………………………………………
Seven
Twenty-fifth of the month.
Zhou Yang woke up from his sleep and glanced at a few hairs beside the bed.
Even though I've been resting these days, the muscles around my waist are still a little sore.
He could feel the gentle coldness every day, and he could also enjoy the flying between the clouds, and then slowly fall in a burst of pleasant sounds.
Naturally, he is very holy, so holy that people feel guilty, he is like a blasphemer, and sometimes he can't help but engage in self-criticism and self-examination.
Despite all the mixed emotions, perhaps this is the best thing in life.
Zhou Yang rubbed his waist, then got up and ate some nutritious breakfast, and then got into the car to Xingyang Cinema.
Today's premiere of "The Grandmaster 2: Top Gun" ......
"Mr. Zhou, the first draft of the first comic of "Slam Dunk" has been completed, can you review it?"
"Good! I'll send it to my email later."
"By the way, the first episode of the "Slam Dunk" animation has also been completed, and it will be sent to your email as well?"
"Okay!"
"Also, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zheng Jun's "Mine Bottom" has been filmed, and a total of nearly 100 million US dollars was spent...... Mr. Zheng Jun said that the cost of the later stage still needs about 5 million yuan, this money, are we ...... In fact, it's already worth the budget......
"Does he have a detailed list of the nations' expenditures?"
"Yes!"
"Send me an email as well."
"Okay.
"'Batman' is selling very well in the United States, and we have received a lot of reminders, and the filming of "Wolverine" is also on the schedule, and it is expected to be completed in September......
「……」
After getting in the car, Zhou Yang's phone kept ringing.
It wasn't until he came to Xingyang Cinema that Zhou Yang's phone stopped a little......
He got out of the car, and as soon as he got down, he saw Huang Jiacheng's tall man who was nearly two meters tall, Huang Jiacheng was standing in the crowd in red at this moment, and under the long guns and short cannons under countless media, he said all kinds of arrogant words.
""Grandmaster 2" will make "Mutation" taste powerful, and it will not dare to win the sun crown! Let it not even think about it!"
