Chapter 20 Premiere
Jim quickly found the film distributor.
With the background of the Jameson family, and Jim as a former first-line producer, who has been in the circle for so many years, it is not difficult to arrange movies in theaters. Can be easily resolved.
You know, in "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow", the biggest brand is actually not the star who starred in the movie, but the investor.
Tony Stark.
Playboys, genius inventors, super rich, etc.
With many names, he displayed an arrogant and pushy image in front of the public.
Not to mention whether anyone really likes him, the fact is that many people do pay attention to him.
Tony Stark's mouth is a billboard worth hundreds of millions.
Because in the entire American Empire, no one does not know Tony Stark.
This guy is a proven natural winner.
Show Tony Stark's name, and this movie is worth 20 percent of the film.
Plus Jim is confident about the quality of the film itself.
Forty percent is not difficult.
But Jim was full of self-confidence and pursued 60% of the film.
First of all, the configuration alone will squeeze out other movies released in the same period.
Secondly, Jim has been quiet for so many years, and he finally saw the possibility of turning over. Of course, he will go all out and will not easily let go of the fleeting opportunity.
Eighteen kinds of martial arts come into battle.
Finally, the release date was set, and a premiere ceremony was held by the way.
The promotion is launched simultaneously.
"Batman: Mystery of Shadows" is one of the most famous new books in New York recently.
Anton's previous preparations paid off.
Knowing that the movie based on this novel will be launched, many fans have gathered in the forum dedicated to the novel by the Daily Bugle, and brag about it every day.
At the same time, the news that Tony Stack spent fifty million to invest in a movie was also widely circulated in the crowd.
A bunch of top rich second generation finally remembered the bet made by Anton and Tony Stark that day.
Therefore, rumors abound.
This movie actually originated from a gambling contract between two rich second generation!
Some people are curious.
Some people directly asserted that it must be a bad movie, and they would not watch it even if they died.
However, Anton also released news that the Batman idea actually originated from Tony Stark.
His parents died unexpectedly, and he inherited hundreds of millions of properties. On the surface, he was a playboy, but he was actually quite serious in private, thinking about saving the world all day long.
People agree with the first half of the sentence, and opinions on the second half.
A business owner who sells arms, you must be joking when you say that he is thinking about how to save the world all day long.
He thinks about how to start a war all day long, which is in line with people's positioning of an arms giant.
In any case, under the continuous bombardment of these news, the Batman movie has also attracted the attention of many people, and the exposure has increased sharply.
Anton checked the system space, and the Batman fan value increased to 800,000.
The movie has not yet been released, and this is all the fans brought by the novel.
In a way, publishing another ten novels is barely enough for fans to buy Batman suits.
However, the movie is about to be released, and Anton can't be bothered to think so much.
As long as the popularity of Batman is played, it should not be difficult to gather 9.98 million fans without worrying about no one entering the pit.
He took out his phone and called Tony Stark, getting a few sneers.
Eventually, Tony promised to attend the premiere.
Tony is a person who likes to toss very much, and such people are very curious.
In other words, he was very interested in the film.
Of course, the interest here is not that Tony wants to see what the movie is about, but how he wants to make fun of Anton through this movie.
Tony thought he knew very well what Anton was.
He really didn't expect that Anton would actually work on it for three months and really come up with a movie.
What a superhero movie!
A type of Anton original and never heard of.
"Jarvis, I want to speak to Pepper."
Thinking of the bet, Tony smiled: "Hey, honey, move my trip to Afghanistan back, you know, there's a very interesting thing waiting for me recently... oh oh, yes, the premiere I may need a female companion for the ceremony, are you willing to be my female companion?"
this day.
The premiere begins.
Jonah Jameson is there.
"I'll look forward to it."
"Hopefully this movie doesn't make me doze off," Jameson laughed.
"Then you won't be disappointed."
Anton patted his chest, full of confidence.
Next, except for Tony Stark, who loves being late, the staff is almost full.
After the regular speeches are over and the reporters take pictures, the movie is about to start.
At this time.
Tony Stark is finally belated.
His female companion is Pepper Potts, better known as Pepper.
Anton is no stranger.
Pepper Potts used to be the little guy who handled the aftermath for Tony at many parties.
Over the years, the only person who can control Tony is probably his little assistant.
"You really like being late, Tony."
Anton greeted him.
"Anton, I will look forward to seeing you as my bag boy after the movie is over."
Tony laughed.
In the past three months, he had almost forgotten about the bet.
Tony never takes things to heart. Including the 50 million scattered this time, this amount of money is nothing to him.
But when the movie was released, the frenzied publicity and rumors of a betting contract reminded him of his grievance with Anton.
"After watching the movie, I hope you can still say such things."
Anton shrugged.
"You don't think you can really make any classics yourself, do you?"
Tony pouted and took Pepper into his seat, thinking in his heart, as long as he is not interested, he will get up and leave immediately, and come back after a good time, anyway, Anton will not slip away from his eyes.
...
at the same time.
San Francisco.
Life Foundation headquarters building.
Carlton Drake sat in the spacious office, looking out the window at the bright scenery, his face sinking like water, like a cloud cover.
He smashed the information in his hand on the face of the head of the bodyguard in front of him.
"How many days has it been?"
Drake was furious and spitting: "A mere Eddie, how many days have you chased him and how many people have you lost? You can't catch him, what's the use of me keeping you?"
"Boss, besides us, someone is catching him."
The head of the bodyguard did not dare to refute, and whispered: "Their equipment is very good and special, and they look like people from Osborn Company."
"Osborn...Norman Osborn, this bastard..."
Drake clenched his fists.
With the strength of the Life Foundation, it is still beyond the ability to confront the Osborn Company head-on.
Still, Osborne is in New York after all.
Norman Osborn's hand may be able to reach San Francisco, but the truth that strong dragons can't overwhelm local snakes has been verified long ago.
Otherwise, the Life Foundation would have long been part of the Osborn Company.
But the key point is that, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Life Foundation can only admit it and suffer from this dull loss.
The only chance to make a comeback is to seize Eddie, turn the research results into data, and put them on the desk of the San Francisco city government. At that time, those bastard politicians who only look at interests will naturally open their arms to the Life Foundation again.
Symbiosis is definitely the way of the future.
It was intuition, it was destiny, and Carlton Drake believed it.
"anything else?"
Drake glanced at the head of the bodyguard: "About the situation of the Daily Bugle, tell me in detail."
"The de facto owner of the Daily Bugle today is Anton Jameson, the grandson of founder Jonah Jameson, with whom Eddie had a close relationship when he was editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle."
The head of the bodyguard said: "The public opinion attack on the Internet has nothing to do with Anton."
"Teach him a lesson."
Drake's tone was cold, and he ordered.
The head of the bodyguard said cautiously: "Boss, Jonah Jameson is a guest of the New York City government. If we want to do something to them, I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of them, and it is inevitable that we will not be found... The San Francisco city government has already I’m very dissatisfied with us, if I offend them completely because of this matter, I’m afraid…”
Drake's face sank, and his teeth were about to bleed.
He felt like he was in a dilemma right now.
Anything is blocked!
"Shet!!"
Drake was furious: "In short, I want you to teach him a lesson, you must let him know that offending our Life Foundation deserves the end."
"Yes!"
The head of the bodyguard did not dare to refute any more, bowed his head and agreed, and then exited the office.
Drake took a long time to calm down.
He thought of the Osborn Company.
"Norman, you want to buy my company, it will never be possible!"
Drake had a deep chill in his eyes: "Anton Jameson, don't think you'll be safe by hiding in New York, no matter what, I want you to pay the price!"
