Chapter 234： Surprising future

"Ryan, have you come to New York?"

After Mrs. Shelly opened the door, she looked at Ryan walking behind Natalie, a little surprised.

"Mrs. Shelly, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Saying hello, Ryan walked into the living room and said to the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, "Hello, Mr. Avner."

"Ryan, sit down."

"No, Dad, Ryan and I went upstairs." Natalie pulled Ryan and went up to the second floor.

Evner Herschel watched the two figures disappear on the stairs, frowning, Mrs. Shelly sighed slightly and said, "Don't worry, Nat and Ryan are both well-measured people."

"The problem is that they have grown up!" Mr. Avner was a little unhappy.

Entering Natalie's bedroom, it is still the same as it was a few years ago, and it seems that nothing has changed. Ryan looked around, handed over a chair, and sat in front of the desk.

"Need something to drink?" Natalie brought two boxes of juice and motioned to Ryan.

"You always bring what I like, don't you, Nat?" Ryan took the juice and put it on the desk. "Think about when I first entered your room? I didn't expect it in a blink of an eye. So many years have passed."

"Ryan?" Natalie's eyebrows frowned, and she looked at him up and down. "Such emotions shouldn't be made by sixteen-year-olds?"

"Remind you, Nat, I'm seventeen years old."

Ryan waved his hand casually and looked at the photo frames in the room one by one. Apart from the photo of the Herschel family, it was also the photo of herself and Natalie.

"Ryan, haven't you considered moving out?" Natalie sat on the side of the bed and suddenly changed the subject.

"Move out?" Ryan never considered this issue.

"Yeah, you are seventeen years old." Natalie said naturally. "Many people moved out of their homes at the age of sixteen."

Ryan knew this, even though the laws of most states in the United States stipulate that an adult is only eighteen years old, and a guardian is needed at sixteen. But many people who are early, will be after the age of sixteen. I just moved out of the house and tried to live the life I longed for.

Of course, the advantages and disadvantages of this are not small.

"I...I haven't thought about it." Ryan could only scratch his head.

"Why don't you buy a manor of your own?" Natalie looked casually, "You are not short of money."

"This... I'll talk about it later." Ryan suddenly thought that there really should be a house of his own, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Hmm~"

Sitting opposite was her best friend, and Natalie didn't mean to hide it. "In a few months, I will entrust my mother to find a suitable apartment and move out after my sixteenth birthday."

"Why do you want to move out?" Although she knows that Natalie gets more and more sexual as she gets older. Ryan was still a little curious.

Natalie didn't answer, she just curled her lips and looked down the stairs through the door.

Seeing Natalie's expression, Ryan can roughly guess something, presumably Natalie has been in the past few years. It is not very pleasant to get along with his overly conservative father.

"Dad saw me eating meat." Natalie said suddenly. "We had an argument."

"Oh, God!" Ryan suddenly covered his forehead and asked tentatively, "Have he asked why you eat meat?"

"Of course." Natalina snorted. Wrinkled his nose and said, "I told my father that someone lied to me, and then it was like this..."

"Come on, Nat." Ryan wouldn't believe her. If it was as Natalie said, Mr. Avner would never give himself a good face, and might even just blast out.

"Stand up, Nat!" Ryan suddenly thought of another question.

"Stand up?" Despite doubts, Natalie stood beside Ryan's chair.

"Wow~"

Ryan stood by Natalie's side, then gestured between the two of them, and made an excited voice, "Nat, are you over five feet and five inches?"

"Yeah." Natalie rolled her eyes. "Is it a pleasure to be so much shorter than you?"

"No, no, no." Ryan said without embarrassment, "you know, Nat, you can grow so tall, you should thank me well."

"Thank you? Humph~"

Seeing Natalie's puzzled eyes, Ryan closed his mouth. He can't tell her that you are already taller than your previous life, right? Hmm...just still that thin.

The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and when Natalie opened the door, Mrs. Shelly walked in with a cookie, "I made the snack, Ryan, you are welcome."

"Um~ it tastes great!" Ryan squeezed a piece and threw it into his mouth.

"It suits your taste."

When Mrs. Shelly left, she turned her eyes on the two people, and only when she found that there was nothing abnormal, she closed the door.

"I heard you pushed down two movies in a row, Nat?" Ryan threw another cookie into his mouth.

"To be precise, I pushed down "Lolita", and the crew of "Romeo and Juliet" didn't look down on me." Natalie touched her neck subconsciously, and the bottom of the turtleneck was silver and white. Sun pendant.

"That's their loss." Ryan heard the general situation? Jinsli mentioned, "Don't forget the audition at the end of February, but I really want to partner with you."

"Come on, Ryan, do you think Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala have room for us to play?"

"Please don't forget, Nat." Ryan reminded, "Box office is also a kind of seniority."

"but…"

"Stop! Nat."

As he grows older, Ryan has faded away from that quarrel, anyway, the future achievements are enough to explain everything.

When it was getting dark, Ryan declined Mrs. Shelly’s invitation to dinner and prepared to leave and return to the hotel.

"Are you going to the theater tomorrow?" Natalie asked as she sent Ryan out of the house.

"There should be no time. I'm going to be surprised tomorrow." Ryan stretched out her long hair tossed by the wind. "Now is an important time for public relations. After dealing with surprises, I will leave New York, Nat. , I am waiting for you in Los Angeles."

...

After last year’s shareholding change, Marvel Comics was reorganized under the operation of the new Avi Allard, which not only formed five major industrial structures: film, copyright licensing, toys, the Internet, and comic publishing, but was also preparing to build an independent A film production company specializing in the production of superhero movies that belong to surprise.

Within a year, Marvel Comics used various methods to withdraw the copyrights of most of the comic characters. Even so, the recycling work is still in full swing.

At the same time, the traditional comics industry continued to fall into the abyss. Marvel Comics’ losses last year reached a considerable amount. If it weren’t for Ryan’s golden signature, I’m afraid banks would have come to collect debts.

Of course, this situation is bound to be unsustainable. Turning losses into profits is the primary issue facing the top executives of Surprise.

"Last year, we successively took back the copyrights of the most popular comic images such as X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America, Blade Warrior, etc. The film production department in Burbank is under preparation. , I think Marvel now has the conditions to put his superhero on the big screen."

In the conference room, Avi Allard was talking, although he still lost money last year, he spent this precious time to complete the internal integration and optimization of Marvel.

"Now we should consider which superhero to put on the big screen first." The speaker was Stan Lee. The old man was staring at the silent Ryan with a scorching gaze, "How about Spider-Man? "

"No, Stan."

Although sitting, Ryan's body still stands upright toward a javelin, "I think you should make a long-term plan. Surprisingly, there are more than 5,000 cartoon images, and dozens of them are popular. We should do it. Make a filming plan for ten, twenty, or even thirty years!"

His words made several high-level surprises look at each other. The superheroes who have always been popular on the big screen have been superheroes. The characters of surprise have not yet experienced the test of the movie market.

"Ryan, what do you mean?" The eyes behind Stan Lee's lenses shone out.

"Create a unique and amazing worldview, and put most of the superheroes in the same parallel universe, such as Iron Man, Captain America and others."

Ryan has flipped through the cartoons of this world, and the surprising parallel universe is a mess, and the world view is far from as clear as in the previous movies.

"You mean..." Stan? Lee already realized something.

"Yes, Stan." Ryan slowly tapped the arm of the chair. "The Avengers are one of our ultimate plans."

Then, he reached out his hand to stop what the other party wanted to say, "However, it will take more than ten or even twenty years."

"Ryan, we need a cardiotonic, UU reading to change the company's current revenue status." Avi Allard said.

"Then start with Blade Warrior."

Relatively speaking, Ryan’s approach is somewhat conservative, but such an irrelevant comic image with limited investment is very suitable as a test product for Marvel Pictures.

"How about you writing the script yourself, Ryan?"

"Stan, you are the one who knows them best." Ryan shook his head firmly, "You and your team are the most suitable candidates."

Ryan is not humble, as he said, who else would be more suitable as a screenwriter than the person who created these superheroes?

All day, Ryan stayed in amazement. He had no intention of intervening in specific operations. He only discussed future development plans with several senior executives and put forward many suggestions on film shooting, such as future superhero visits and visits. Easter eggs and so on.

In the evening, after talking to Natalie on the phone, Ryan flew back to Los Angeles, and the Oscar nomination was announced soon. Now it is the critical moment! ()
