Chapter 40: The Bet of Light
Heat is such a thing, of course, the more you stir it up, the hotter it gets.
Originally, even if there was no Obadia, Tony Stark was very attractive to the media, and he was a celebrity hotspot who appeared in newspapers of all sizes all year round.
When a reporter paparazzi photographed Charlotte entering Stark's estate on Marbury Beach in Los Angeles and unblocked, the small compositions between him and Tony Stark were already flying all over the sky.
In the manor, Xia Le shook his mobile phone at Stark, who was developing the Mark suit in the laboratory.
"Guess how many people have called my phone number and email lately and wanted to get to know you through me? But there are many bold babes who directly sent their photos and phone calls, and said that even if the three of them are together, it will be no problem. I really want to be famous, I want to go crazy! β
During this period, Jenny, the agent who had previously given up his WMA, also called.
The other party pleaded in his words, saying that he regretted it now and wanted to sign a contract with Xia Le again.
He discussed with the president of the company, and this contract is directly according to the treatment of first-line stars in the industry!
But of course Xia Le would not agree.
He has his back to Tony Stark, and he is teaming up with CAA, where will he turn his head into the arms of CAA's biggest competitor.
However, considering that as his former agent, Jenny was not inactive, at least he told himself the address of the producer who had been killed by him.
So Charlotte directly poached in reverse and invited Jenny to leave the WMA and serve as his personal agent.
As a star, it's really a hassle not to have a few agents and assistants to help with things.
Jenny didn't hesitate for long, and directly agreed, and is now helping Xia Le run the program and register the "Giant of Light" Co., Ltd.
And then there's Adina.
This real estate agent was also poached by Xia Le and temporarily took on the position of intern assistant.
He made it clear that he had no idea about Adena, and also showed a picture of Fox.
Although Adena has not let go of her coveting of Charlot, she has not refused this job that pays a lot more than that of a real estate agent.
As an assistant to a celebrity, the development prospects are much higher than those of the underlying real estate economists!
The fast-food restaurant owner who invested in Xia Lot's "20 US dollars" was even more happy.
From an unknown actor, he became the leading actor of today's star-studded TV series after meeting a nobleman, and partnered with the Oscar for Best Director, Best Actor, Superstar and the popular Xiaohua with a big figure.
What a desirable "American dream" this is, and what a good news material!
He wants to make a lot of money this time, and maybe he can open a few more branches!
Even the actors who Xia Le could only be considered familiar with before called over, congratulating and licking their faces and wanting some roles.
What a face!
Putting down the welding gun in his hand, Stark glanced at Xia Le with contempt.
"This spam is what Jarvis has to do for me hundreds of times a day. If you're just coming to me to show off this kind of thing, all I can say is that you're looking for the wrong person! If you really need a hot girl, do you want me to have someone connect you with Playboy this month's cover girl? β
It can be seen that Stark has come out of the shadow of being betrayed by one of the people closest to him.
"I'm here to ask Jarvis for help designing holsters for the Giants of Light and the Monsters."
Xia Le entered the laboratory, came to Tony Stark's console, and said to Stark unceremoniously.
"How does this work?"
Stark walked over and helped Charlotte adjust.
After the operating platform was set up, Jarvis said to Xia Le.
"Mr. Xia, it's a pleasure to serve you."
"Thank you for your help, Jarvis."
When Xia Le was operating, Stark simply stood by to see what he could do, and gave him some pointers from time to time.
In the end, seeing the shape of the giant of light designed by Xia Le and the various leather cases of the monster, Stark had to admit that Xia Le really had something.
For Xia Le, this is just a reproduction of the many monster movies he has watched, a basic operation.
Although the design of this holster is good, the holster is a holster, and there is still a problem with realism compared to the special effects.
Stark asked Charlotte.
"Will anyone watch a TV series that just puts on a holster and lets the stuntman really call around? Why don't you consider making special effects? β
Saving money is not so economical either. I'll give you some more money, and I'll beg you to make special effects!
It's okay if you lose face yourself, don't put my face on the ground and step on it.
"What are you anxious about? "Giants of Light" is not a TV series for adults, but for children. It is another style of children's drama that is different from Disney cartoons. β
Xia Le looked at the three forms of Diga on the operating table and said to Stark.
"Monsters destroy cities, armies are helpless, and giants of light show up to save the world, and finally be with the people they like. Although the story is clichΓ©, the more it is, the easier it is to move people's hearts. β
Soon, however, Charle explained the specific reason for doing so.
"It's really better to use special effects for production, and I use some of them in the episodes. But the production time for large-scale special effects is too long. The Giant of Light has initially decided to shoot 4 seasons and 48 episodes, which is expected to be completed in 6-8 months, with one episode per week. If you use special effects, you won't have time to make it, and the production cost will rise to a very unhealthy level. β
Stark listened to Charlotte Balabala, it seemed to make sense, and nodded indifferently.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Anyway, he is only responsible for paying for it, so let Xia Le play by himself what he wants.
Seeing that Stark still looked disapproving, Xia Le proposed.
"Why don't we take a gamble? Just bet on whether this film will be popular. I think you can buy a toy factory in advance now, produce related merchandise, and wait for the time to make a lot of money. β
"Bet on it."
Stark's eyes lit up, and he seized the opportunity from Xia Le's proposal and spoke.
"If I win, you're going to show me your alien technology in full!"
He also knew that Xia Le couldn't give himself the extraterrestrial technology to study, so he retreated to the next best.
Hearing Stark say this, Xia Le grinned.
Stark: This is a great lack of security, so you want to make the Reflective Giant Armor?
Okay, meet you!
He nodded.
"Yes! But if I win, the toy factory you bought will give me half of the shares. β
In this regard, Stark also nodded vigorously without hesitation.
"Deal!"
In his opinion, everything that money can solve is not difficult!
But at this moment, the system prompt suddenly remembered in Xia Le's ears.
[User, please perform your second task, the countdown starts now: 30, 29, 28......]
Xia Le was stunned for a moment and said to Stark.
"Mr. Stark, I suddenly have something to do and need to leave Earth, and I should be back in a few days. Help me cover up during this time. β
"What? What do you mean? β
Stark looked puzzled.
But soon, he watched Xia Le's body begin to glow.
Under Stark's gaze, Xia Le himself decomposed into dots of light little by little, turned into a light man, and finally dissipated into light particles in the sky.
This magical scene stunned Tony Stark on the spot.
"What the hell is going on?"
