Chapter 7 Lenovo

bar.

"Anton, thank you."

Eddie was a little drunk, but in high spirits, his eyes seemed to be on fire.

After hearing that Anton, on behalf of the Daily Bugle, agreed with him to restart the investigation of the Life Foundation, he seemed to have changed a person, as if he had found the goal of life.

"You're welcome, I wish you success."

Anton didn't take credit, he took a sip of the wine glass, showing a disgusting expression.

He doesn't like the taste of whiskey.

"By the way, I want to remind you of one thing." Anton put down his glass and warned: "The Life Foundation is very powerful in San Francisco. Although the homeless incident shows that the Life Foundation violates the bottom line of human beings, it will cause the Life Foundation to be in trouble at most. With so many medical patents in hand, the vested will not give up the Life Foundation. As a journalist, you should know this fact better than me."

Eddie nodded silently.

He restrained the excitement in his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Expose the behavior of the Life Foundation, smear the name, add to Carlton Drake, it's better to send him to prison... There's only so much I can do. ."

"Also, you can't go back to San Francisco."

Anton continued.

Eddie was a little surprised. He looked at Anton and opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"You're too obvious, Eddie."

Anton said: "Remember, now your identity is not a reporter who makes a public appearance, but the editor-in-chief who sits in the daily horn to control the situation. You must never go back to San Francisco to do front-line work. You and I are very clear that after you show up, you will immediately cause problems. The vigilance of the Life Foundation exposes the fact that we are working against the Life Foundation."

The investigation into the Life Foundation cannot be done in the open.

Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation, in addition to Eddie cannot leave New York, the internal staff of the newspaper will allow Eddie to move.

Find the evidence first, expose the Life Foundation, and then pursue the victory.

This is the safe process.

"I see what you mean." Eddie growled sullenly.

"When the first shot of the Daily Bugle was fired and aroused public discussion, there were not so many restrictions." If Anton pointed to something, he added, "Don't worry, you can't hide if you want to."

"OK."

Eddie knew Anton's kindness, and he was not a stubborn person who didn't consider other people's thoughts at all, so he agreed seriously.

"So be it."

Anton handed the bartender a few large amounts of cash, including wine money and tips, and then got up: "I have something to do tomorrow in Los Angeles, and the Daily Bugle will give it to you."

Eddie watched Anton leave.

On the way back, Anton thinks about Eddie's experience.

Eddie Bullock, San Francisco, Life Foundation, fired.

These few words, it is hard not to remind him of the "Venom" movie in his previous life.

After pondering for a moment, Anton took out his mobile phone, searched for the Life Foundation, and saw the news about the rocket crash.

It happened not long ago.

"So, the symbiote has come to Earth?"

Anton frowned.

Sure enough, the more you know, the more you feel that the world is extremely dangerous.

The rocket crashed in eastern Malaysia.

With the cooperation of many parties, the wreckage of the rocket is pending.

But Anton knew that what the Life Foundation had to deal with was not just the wreckage.

According to the plot, the Life Foundation at this time should be actively collecting the symbiotes that came to Earth with the rocket.

The only difference, Eddie came to New York from San Francisco.

A butterfly's wings may change in the future.

However, Anton firmly believes that no matter how it changes, it is impossible for the symbiote to make waves on the earth.

He understands the worldview of the Marvel universe.

Although the world he is in at this time seems to incorporate a lot of messy movies, there is one thing that Anton is 100% sure of - where there is Tony Stark, there is S.H.I.E.L.D.

Established after World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. has had the experience of facing aliens since the 1990s.

That incident also spawned a powerful superhero.

Ms. Marvel.

Or call her Captain Marvel.

With enough confidence, Anton understands that the symbiote will not disrupt the order of the earth.

If the earth is so easily destroyed by these aliens, then the symbiote will not be able to turn around. As early as the 1990s, the wave of the Kree army was completely over.

Facts have proved that among the countless living planets in the universe, the earth is definitely a player who has opened up.

After going through these things in his mind, Anton went home.

The retired old man is not there, Anton is commonplace.

The old man who suddenly enjoys life is no different from a husky who is running away, and disappears anytime, anywhere.

the next day.

Anton came to Los Angeles with the gold medal screenwriter Browning.

The service staff who followed the pick-up took them to an upscale residential area near Hollywood.

In some high-end apartment, Anton and Browning finally meet the belated Jim Lambert.

"Anton, you are finally here."

Jim went straight to the topic and said to An Dong: "The crew has almost prepared, and the next few main characters are candidates. Do you have any suggestions?"

"This is your job, and I just want to start working as soon as possible."

Anton shrugged.

He didn't care about the preparations of the crew at all, and only cared about when the film would start shooting.

After learning about Eddie Bullock's story and what happened to the Life Foundation, he has a deeper understanding of the Marvel universe.

In short, a little insecure and inexplicably urgent.

It's always good to get the movie done early, reach the goal, and redeem the Batman template.

"All right."

Jim regretted: "The male lead has been basically determined, but I thought you had some other requirements for the female lead. After all, this is Hollywood."

Anton's eyes widened: "Wait, casting today?"

Jim said: "Tomorrow, seven or eight female stars have already been arranged, and they are all top beauties."

"Remember to call me."

Anton immediately changed his position and said righteously: "I do have special requirements for the heroine, at least... She must be good-looking and obedient, and also, her ass should be raised and her breasts should be large."

Jim gave him the look of an old driver.

Subsequently, Browning communicated with Jim about the situation of the script, and promised to finish the first draft within three days before leaving.

Browning's home is in Los Angeles.

This upscale home is where Jim prepared for Anton.

Not because Anton doesn't have another home in Los Angeles, but because it's close to Hollywood and convenient for work.

"What about the props group?"

Anton thought for a while, and then said: "I have high requirements for the costumes and props of this movie. The ones you sent me before are too stereotyped and do not meet the standards in my heart."

He has a ready-made template here, how could he possibly look down on the "pulling" design of the props group.

"No problem." Jim nodded.

As an investor and director, Anton has almost the highest voice in the film.

Producer Jim is all for Anton. There is no room for refutation, and there is no need to refute it when it comes to filming.

It's work anyway.

The money Jim gets will not be more or less because of it.

All he wants is a success.

In the next few days, Anton worked continuously like a machine, working day and night, and finally determined the props and the role candidates in the movie.

The day before the shooting, Anton received a budget.

One hundred and ten million.

Anton's mouth twitched.

That's 10 million more than the investment he agreed with Tony Stark.

But recalling the investment made by Nolan in the filming of "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow" in his previous life, he knew that Jim didn't fool himself at least.

In addition, the level of science and technology in this world is only higher than that of the previous life, and the level of various civil sciences, black technology and even the dream of the previous life, this budget is completely within the normal range.

Anton silently signed the list, and mortgaged all his assets to collect 110 million in funds.

Finally, the filming begins.

Anton is ambitious and ambitious, directing his more than a dozen assistant directors, ready to show his strength.

at the same time.

Several reporters Eddie sent to San Francisco to investigate the Life Foundation undercover also returned some specific information to Eddie.
