Chapter 305: The First Movie
Depp's digestive system began to quickly break down the food in his stomach into energy and nutrients.
Tony looked at Depp's shrinking belly, and his eyebrows were almost twisted.
"What is your digestion rate?" Tony said, "Damn, if I could do the same, I wouldn't need to rely on fitness to stay in shape!" β
After digesting, Depp opened his eyes and said mercilessly: "I have to say, Tony, compared to other superheroes, your figure is really not good-looking." β
"Fuck off!"
Tony, who was hit by his self-esteem, yelled, "Get back to your little broken comic company and care about the guy I fired!" β
Depp didn't get angry when he heard this, but said cheaply: "When the movie is released, you still have to rely on your connections to dredge up the relationship." β
I have to say that the relationship between the two is now quite terrifying.
Therefore, the dialogue when chatting with each other is becoming more and more genuine.
Fortunately, Tony doesn't like men, otherwise Pepper wouldn't be at ease to let Depp come to the door.
Tony gave Depp a kick in the ass and said, "Okay, okay, but I suggest you change into clean clothes before you go." β
Ten minutes later, Depp walked out of Stark Building in a brand-new suit that fitted well.
Casually took a taxi, and Depp went straight to his comic company.
Soon, Depp came to Depp Comics near a newspaper office.
Stepping off the taxi and entering the company, the busyness of the employees made Depp very satisfied.
However, the fly in the ointment is that none of its employees recognize themselves.
This made Depp a little embarrassed.
A woman with a long ponytail, black-rimmed glasses, a stack of papers, a white shirt, a beige OL dress, and white high heels walked over.
When she came to Depp, she helped her black-rimmed glasses, and her eyes flashed with an almost irrepressible light of choosing people.
"Hello, this gentleman, this is Depp Comics." The lady said, "Are you here to find someone or to do something?" Or... Want to apply? β
Depp thought for a moment and said, "According to you, I'm probably here to find someone." β
"Oh?"
The ponytail lady asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?" Oh yes, my name is Lisa Dai and I'm the HR director here. β
Dai Lisa looked at Depp curiously, and prayed silently in her heart, the person the super handsome guy in front of her is looking for, don't be a girl!
Depp seemed to see through Dai Lisa's thoughts, and said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm looking for Quentin Baker, the film branch here, the head of the special effects department." β
Great, he's not looking for a girl, and the name sounds like a middle-aged man!
But...... Quentin Baker?
Who's that?
Dai Lisha held the document, pursed her mouth, and tried to remember.
Finally, she remembered a certain weird guy hiding in a corner, tinkering with those projection robots all day long!
"Oh my god, you're looking for that guy who has nothing to do all day?"
In Dai Lisha's eyes, the director of the special effects department of the film branch is completely a relationship who comes to mess around.
After all, Depp Comics' film branch, from the inside out, is the only one who is this guy.
No matter how people look at it, it looks like a specially prepared department and position for those incompetent relatives in their hometown.
I really don't know why such an incompetent relative would have such an incompetent relative as a talented cartoonist like his own boss.
Throughout Depp Comics, all employees regard their bosses, who rarely come forward, as idols.
After all, all the cartoon characters in this company are the work of the boss who rarely shows up.
The comics released by Depp Comics have many fans, and there is a faint tendency to dominate the United States.
"Yes, that guy is a bit too idle, and I need to give him a hand." Depp smiled: "So can you tell me where he is?" Ms. Dai Lisa. β
Dai Lisa listened to Depp's magnetic and gentle voice, and looked at Depp's deep and melancholy eyes like the Milky Way, but bright and transparent like the sea, and they were about to get wet.
Clamping his legs tightly, he scolded the man in front of him in his heart for why he wanted to taste it so much.
Dai Lisha raised her hand and pointed to a room on the third floor, and said with a slightly red cheek: "Kun... Quentin Baker was in that room. β
"Thank you very much, beautiful Ms. Lisa Dai."
Depp nodded in acknowledgment, then walked to the spiral staircase.
Oh, my God!
He even called me a beautiful lady!
"I think you can come to my house if you don't have anywhere to go at night." Dai Lisa said: "I bought a new mattress and stockings. β
Depp waved his hand without looking back and said, "I'm sorry, after finishing today's business, I have to go back to my distant home, and my wife is still waiting for me." β
Hearing that Depp actually had a wife, the flame in Dai Lisha's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon gas again.
What about having a wife?
Anyway, I just want to eat him!
He's got a wretched ass!
"So... What is your name? β
Dai Lisa asked.
"Depp, come to Oonardo Depp."
"Come to Leonardo... Depp? Dai Lisha repeated Depp's words, and said in her heart: "This name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere." β
Then, Dai Lisa looked up and saw the name of her company.
γDepp Comicsγ
Dai Lisha froze in place and muttered, "Damn, I just... Molested his boss, and invited his boss to come back to his house at night, and even told him... I bought new stockings. β
Dai Lisa sat on the ground with her knees together, her eyes glazed and a little broken.
Probably... It's called social death.
On the third floor of Depp Comics, there is a somewhat cramped office, with the words "Film Branch" written on the door.
Opening the office door, Depp saw Quentin Baker sitting in front of the computer, unkempt, dull-looking, and gloomy in his eyes.
In the office, countless paper materials and empty wine bottles are scattered on the table.
The cigarette butts in the ashtray were stacked like a hill.
And, there was a wisp of green smoke rising from it.
In the middle of these things, a set of "Director's Self-cultivation" is neatly placed in the center of the table.
Compared to Tony's malicious disparagement and indifferent sweeping him away, Depp's stocking policy made this guy even more confused.
He is still working for Depp, and his salary is quite a penny.
But since he joined the company, he has not been assigned any work, and compared to the previous busyness at Tony, Quentin Baker now feels more like a rice worm.
Perhaps this kind of job that does not require work but still has a good salary is what many people desire.
But this is not in line with the character and ideals of Quentin Baker, who is always eager to prove himself to the world.
So now he is about to be suffocated!
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Quentin Baker turned his head a little stiffly.
When he saw Depp at the door, his dull eyes gradually brightened.
In the end, this man of one hundred and eighty centimeters pounced on Depp on all fours like a hungry wolf.
"Boss !!"
Quentin Baker didn't care about the little personal image left, crying and hugging Depp's thigh.
"I need a job, please, give me some work!"
"Let me do anything, pour coffee for those comics guys!"
Watching Quentin Baker rub tears and snot onto the suit Tony had just bought for himself, Depp rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'm here this time just for our first movie!"
Depp helped Quentin Baker into a chair and sat across from him.
"Do you have any plans for this?"
Depp casually picked up the document on the table and asked.
Looking at this article "About the Main Application of Baker's Virtual Machine in the Movie", Depp thought to himself, it seems that this guy has chosen a new name for his virtual reality technology.
Hearing Depp talk about making a movie, Quentin Baker immediately stopped crying and began to talk endlessly.
"Ahh When it comes to movies, I actually have a lot of ideas! β
"For example, we can make a movie about the local hero, Spider-Man!"
"Although the genre of comics and movies is different, as long as the adaptation is good enough, we can still make a film that is recognized by everyone!"
"And I also like Spider-Man as a superhero very much, and if my boss is willing to let me try to shoot a series of Spider-Man IP movies, I will definitely do my best."
Depp looked at Quentin Baker and said that he likes Spider-Man very much?!
Indeed, if it weren't for me, you'd probably have nearly broken Peter Parker in a few years.
"Spider-Man can't do it, let's change it." Depp said like a cold machine.
Quentin Baker was a little frustrated when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and said: "Okay, in addition to Spider-Man, I think that relying on my skills, Superman, a superhero, will be a very suitable film and television adaptation." β
"Superman's various super abilities can maximize the potential of Baker's virtual machine, and Superman is also the first DC series superhero launched by our company, his popularity is very high now, as long as he doesn't die during film and television, the box office will definitely not be a problem!"
Depp shook his head: "This won't work either." β
Clark's story, he will never let Quentin Baker, a novice director, shoot it, which is one of the biggest cards in his comic company.
"That's... What about Batman? β
Quentin Baker, who was continuously rejected, asked cautiously.
"Batman can't do it either, he's a superhero who pays more attention to plot and suspense, and can't give full play to the true ability of Baker's virtual machine, we have to find some superheroes who need large-scale extraordinary battles."
Depp said, suddenly reacting.
Of his four super signs, Quentin Baker only said three.
Iron Man at the same level as Spider-Man, Superman and Batman, this kid is a punctuation mark and didn't mention it!
It seems that this thing still holds a grudge against Tony, and is not even willing to make a movie in the Iron Man series.
Of course, even if this thing wants to be filmed, Depp won't give him a chance.
He is a pure newcomer, even if he is talented, it is impossible for Depp to hand over these super IPs to him now.
And, for Quentin Baker's first film, Depp has long had a plan.
"That's... What else can I shoot? β
The light in Quentin Baker's eyes seemed to dissipate again.
Depp got up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and help me find a set of paintbrushes and blank paper." β
"Huh?" Quentin Baker was stunned for a moment before he reacted, then walked out of the office and went to the painting department to borrow a paintbrush and blank paper.
Then, Depp's hand speed was stretched to the limit and he drew on paper.
Ten seconds later, Depp picked up the painting he had just finished and showed it to Quentin Baker.
In the center of the paper, a guy with a huge glass-covered head occupies almost all of the space.
This guy is wearing a green suit with some golden armor on the torso and elbows.
Behind this guy, a huge purple cloak fluttered in the wind, like a large net covering the sky and the sun.
The man in the painting stretched out his hands, and countless green mist surrounded him, even enveloping his lower body in a huge green mist.
The characters in the story feel absurd but mysterious, terrifying but powerful.
Quentin Baker looked at the figure in Depp's painting and stood in place.
At this time, his heart was turning over the river.
For some reason, when he saw the characters in this painting, Quentin Baker felt very intimate, as if... It was like his long-lost brother.
While it felt ridiculous, Quentin Baker was a little overwhelmed.
The painting seemed to have a magical power that made it so deep that Quentin Baker couldn't take his eyes off it.
After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "This is the company's newly developed superhero?" β
Depp nodded: "Sort of, but apart from me, you're the first to see him." β
"What's his name?" Quentin Baker asked impatiently.
Depp simply handed the painting to Quentin Baker and said, "His name is Mysterio, an ordinary man with many peculiarities. β
"An ordinary person with many peculiarities?" Quentin Baker hugged the painting, his eyes lit up: "Can you tell me what he is capable of?" β
Depp says:
"Mysterio is an ordinary person with no supernatural powers, but he is a top film special effects artist, proficient in stage illusion and virtual reality technology."
"At the same time, he's also good at some hand-to-hand combat."
He uses hypnosis, neurotoxins, and a series of magical special effects to create illusions that are realistic and mentally defeats his opponents. In addition, he is proficient in chemistry and electromechanics, creating robot doubles and drones to attack opponents with his illusions. β
"All in all, it's quite a charming... Anti-hero-like character. β
After listening to Depp's words, Quentin Baker couldn't help but exclaim: "This is really cool, anti-hero character... That's great! β
However, Quentin Baker immediately realized that Mysterio's setting and someone seemed to overlap a little too much...
"Wait, boss, won't Mysterio's name be....?"
"That's right, his name is Quentin Baker."
Hearing Depp's answer, Quentin Baker was immediately stunned.
He didn't expect that the boss would design such a charismatic character specifically for himself.
How important is that?!
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Quentin Baker's eyes.
Looking at the tearful Quentin Baker, Depp said to him: "You prepare first in the next few days, and I will give you the script after a while." β
Quentin Baker bit his lip and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, boss, I will make the best superhero movie in the world!" β
I, Quentin Baker, am willing to go to the soup for the sake of Depp's boss!
Depp walked out of the office with the voice of the Kraken symbiote in his ears.
"There's something wrong with this place."
