Chapter 239: "Iron Man"
"Tony, I'm going back to China with Miss Huang next week, so if you're not feeling well during this time, go to Dr. Mahoney!" On this day, Chen Yuanqi came over to talk to Monet.
"Okay, I got it!" Monet replied casually, then stared at Chen Yuanqi for a while, frowned and asked, "You guy, shouldn't you have something to do with that Miss Huang?" This is asking me to help her fight for a role from MGM and accompany her back to China! ”
Chen Yuanqi hurriedly defended: "Don't talk nonsense, we are just ordinary friends, and Miss Huang has been hurt emotionally before!" ”
Monet retorted disapprovingly: "You're talking about Mitch Nilan, right?" That guy has long been a playboy with a bad reputation, and Miss Huang didn't have a mental preparation before she was with him? So I think this kind of injury is purely self-inflicted! ”
"She was still young at that time, so naturally she didn't know how to beware! Okay, I won't tell you, I still have to go buy something, let's go first! ”
Looking at Chen Yuanqi's somewhat unnatural back, Monet shook his head and smiled.
After sending Chen Yuanqi away, Monet tidied up his clothes after a short rest, and rushed to Baja's villa, because today he asked Baja to help him introduce a person, to be precise, his idol aviator - Howard Hughes!
To be honest, Mr. Hughes has many titles, such as entrepreneur, film producer, director, actor, aerospace engineer, playboy, America's first billionaire, etc., but in fact, the most recognized by himself is "aviator", so his biographical movie starring Xiao Lizi is called "Aviator".
Even Monet sometimes suspects that compared to him, he doesn't seem to be a traverser, this guy is ......
Orphaned at the age of 19, he dropped out of school to take over his father's business. At the age of 20, he became the chairman of the American "Hughes Tools Company". At the age of 22, he entered Hollywood, became the chairman and director of a film company, and bought the operating rights of 125 movie theaters. At the age of 23, he invested in the production of the comedy film "Two Arab Knights". At the age of 26, he invested in the production of the war film "Hell Angel, Hell Angel". At the age of 28, he established an aircraft company, Hughes Aircraft Company, in order to play with airplanes for himself. At the age of 30, he piloted an airplane designed by himself to set a world flight record of 567 kilometers per hour. At the age of 33, he set a record of 91 hours of round-the-world flight. At the age of 34, he joined Global Airlines, a global airline. In 1948, he bought the control of the entire Lei Dianhua film company. 45-year-old seclusion. (This is just an overview, the details are everyone's Baidu, and you will definitely not be disappointed.) )
After some pleasantries, Monet cut to the chase: "Mr. Hughes, in fact, I came to you today to discuss something with you!" ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Hughes asked casually.
Unexpectedly, Monet did not answer and asked: "Mr. Hughes, have you watched "Superman"? ”
Hughes nodded and replied, "I've seen it, isn't it Mr. Monet's comic book from your "Comet", it's very interesting!" ”
"Well, I'd like to design another superhero based on your identity experience, so I'd like to ask for your opinion!"
The superhero Monet wants to design this time is Iron Man, and the reason why he wants to discuss with Hughes is because the prototype of "Iron Man" is him (there are rumors on the Internet that it is Musk's, but in fact it is not, Hughes is also Musk's idol), and secondly, it is also a little compelled to do so, due to the hot sales of "Superman", so there are now a lot of follow-up works on the market, and all kinds of superheroes are flooding the market (in fact, there were already people drawing similar superheroes before "Superman", but there was no "Superman" is so ruthless).
In order to maintain the status of "Comet" in this regard, Monet felt that one "Superman" alone was not enough, and another superhero had to be released, but this time he could no longer use superpowers, because there are too many superpowers on the market, and the superpowers of "Iron Man" are absolutely different!
Hearing Monet say this, Hughes frowned and said, "First of all, I want to thank Mr. Monet for your recognition and kindness to me, but the problem is that I don't know any superpowers!" ”
Monet hurriedly explained: "You definitely have the superpower I set for your character, and readers will definitely find it very convincing at a glance, because your superpower is rich!" ”
Not to mention Hughes now, even Bach on the side couldn't help laughing: "Is being rich a superpower?" ”
Monet nodded without hesitation and replied: "Of course, in fact, money is a really reasonable superpower, such as Batman's armor and chariot are developed by gathering a large number of scientists regardless of the cost, can this kind of thing happen to the poor?" ”
"That makes sense, but what kind of armor do I have?" Hughes asked with great interest.
"Then this is complicated, because your armor includes helmets, uniforms, gloves, belts, boots, capes, etc., and I'll take the bat helmet as an example, using an impact-resistant synthetic graphite exterior and bulletproof fiber plating to protect it from light weapons, and lead to protect it from radiation and see-through. Under the helmet are night vision devices, thermal imagers, sonar monitors, gas masks, miniature radio receivers and walkie-talkie systems. There are also small traps that can emit tear gas or electric sparks to prevent anyone from trying to take off the helmet.
Although it is certainly not now, it can't be completely said that it can't be figured out, at least it's much more realistic than those superpowers, right? Monet explained.
"That's right, even I'm a little tempted to find someone to start researching!" Hughes clapped his hands.
"You can really try it, although it is impossible to add all the features I said, but it should be no problem to combine several functions!" Monet chimed in.
Then he asked, "Eh, Mr. Hughes, do you agree with my setting?" ”
Hughes nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Of course I agree, even I don't mind if you just use my name to name this character!" ”
Monet immediately cooperated: "Then it's decided, Batman's name in reality is Howard Hughes!" ”
"When will this "Batman" be released? I kind of can't help but want to see it now! Hughes asked impatiently.
Monet thought for a moment and then replied: "Because it's still only the initial stage, I guess it will be two months later!" But I'm sure I'll let you see it as soon as I see it, Mr. Hughes! ”
PS: Actually, Mr. Howard Hughes is more interested in his romantic history, basically the famous female stars in Hollywood at that time had a leg with him, including the goddess Audrey Hepburn in many people's minds!
