Bar.

"Anton, thank you."

Eddie was a little drunk, but he was in high spirits, and his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

After hearing Anton agree to his restarting investigation of the Life Foundation on behalf of the Daily Bugle, he seemed to have changed into a different person, as if he had found the purpose of life again.

You're welcome, I wish you success."

Anton did not take credit for it, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, revealing a disgusted expression.

  He did not like the taste of whiskey.

  "By the way, there is one thing I want to remind you of." Anton put down the wine glass and reminded: "The Life Foundation has a great influence in San Francisco. Although the homeless incident shows that the Life Foundation violates the bottom line of humanity, it will at most cause trouble for the Life Foundation. With so many medical patents in hand, the vested interests will not give up the Life Foundation. As a former reporter, you should know this fact better than me."

  Eddie nodded silently.

  He restrained the excitement in his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Exposing the behavior of the Life Foundation, tarnishing its name, and causing trouble for Carlton Drake, it would be best to send him to prison... There is 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 you are not a reporter who shows up in public, but the editor-in-chief who controls the overall situation at the Daily Bugle. You must not go back to San Francisco to do front-line work. You and I know very well that if you show up, you will immediately alert the Life Foundation and expose the fact that we are doing something unfavorable to the Life Foundation."

  The investigation of the Life Foundation cannot be carried out in public.

  Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation, in addition to Eddie not being able to leave New York, the internal staff of the newspaper will be allowed to be transferred by Eddie.

  First find evidence, expose the Life Foundation, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue.

  This is the safe process.

  "I understand what you mean." Eddie became unhappy.

  "After the Daily Bugle fires the first shot and arouses public discussion, there will be fewer restrictions." Anton said with a hint of meaning, "Don't worry, you can't hide at that time."

  "Okay."

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

  "That's it."

  Anton handed the bartender several large bills, including the money for the drinks and the tip, and then stood up: "I have something to do in Los Angeles tomorrow, and I'll leave the Daily Bugle to you."

  Eddie watched Anton leave.

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

  Eddie Brock, San Francisco, Life Foundation, was fired.

  These words made it difficult for him not to think of the movie "Venom" 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 this world is extremely dangerous.

  The rocket crashed in eastern Malaysia.

  With the cooperation of many parties, the wreckage of the rocket is waiting to be dealt with.

  But Anton knew that the Life Foundation had to deal with more than 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 is that Eddie came to New York from San Francisco.

  The butterfly flapped its wings, and the future may have changed.

  However, Anton firmly believed that no matter how it changed, the symbiote would not be able to stir up trouble on Earth.

  He understood the worldview of the Marvel world.

  Although the world he was in at this moment seemed to have integrated a lot of messy movies, there was one thing that Anton was 100% sure of - where there was Tony Stark, there was SHIELD. SHIELD

  , established after World War II, had experience facing aliens since the 1990s.

  That incident also gave birth to a powerful superhero.

  Ms. Marvel.

  Or call her Captain Marvel.

  With enough confidence, Anton understood that the symbiote would not destroy the order of the earth.

  If the earth was really so easy to be destroyed by these aliens, it would not be the turn of the symbiote at all. As early as the wave of the Kree army in the 1990s, it would have been completely finished.

  Facts have proved that among the countless life planets in the universe, the earth is definitely a player with a cheat.

  After going over these things in his mind, Anton returned home.

  Anton was accustomed to the fact that the retired old man was not there.

  The old man who suddenly enjoyed his life was no different from a husky that had run away from his reins, and he would disappear at any time and anywhere.

  The next day.

  Anton brought the gold medal screenwriter Browning to Los Angeles.

  The service staff who followed them took them to the high-end residential area near Hollywood.

  In a high-end apartment, Anton and Browning finally met Jim Lambert who was late.

  "Anton, you are finally here."

  Jim went straight to the point and said to Anton: "The crew has almost prepared. The next step is to select the main roles. Do you have any suggestions?"

  "This is your job. I just hope to start work as soon as possible."

  Anton shrugged.

  He didn't care about the crew's preparations at all. He only cared about when the movie could start shooting.

  After learning about Eddie Brock's story and the situation of the Life Foundation, he had a deeper understanding of the Marvel world.

  In short, there is a lack of security and inexplicable urgency.

  It is always good to get the movie done as soon as possible, achieve the goal, and exchange the Batman template.

  "Okay."

  Jim said regretfully, "The male lead has been basically confirmed, but I thought you had some other requirements for the female lead, after all, this is Hollywood."

  Anton opened his eyes wide: "Wait, casting today?"

  Jim said, "Tomorrow, I have already made an appointment with seven or eight female stars, all of whom are top beauties."

  "Remember to call me."

  Anton immediately changed his position and said righteously, "I do have special requirements for the female lead, at least... she must be good-looking and obedient, and her butt must be perky and her breasts must be big."

  Jim gave him a look of an old driver.

  Afterwards, Browning communicated with Jim about the script, and promised to complete the first draft within three days before saying goodbye and leaving.

  Browning's home is in Los Angeles.

  This high-end residence is the place Jim prepared for Anton.

  It's not because Anton has no other residence in Los Angeles, but because it is close to Hollywood and convenient for work.

  "What about the props team?"

  Anton thought for a while and said, "I have higher requirements for the costumes and props of this movie. The ones you sent me before were too stereotyped and did not meet my standards."

  He had a ready-made template here, so how could he look down on the "stingy" design of the props team.

  "No problem." Jim nodded.

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

  Producer Jim is serving Anton. There is no room for rebuttal on the issue of filming, and there is no need to refute.

  It's all work anyway.

  The money Jim gets will not increase or decrease because of this.

  He just wants a success.

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

  The day before the filming, Anton received a budget sheet.

  One hundred and ten million.

  Anton's mouth twitched.

  This is ten million higher than the investment agreed upon by him and Tony Stark.

  But recalling Nolan's investment in "Batman Begins" in his previous life, he knew that Jim at least did not fool him.

  In addition, the level of science and technology in this world is only higher than that in the previous life, and all kinds of folk science, black technology, and even the level that can only be dreamed of in the previous life, this budget is completely within the normal range.

  Anton signed the bill silently and mortgaged all his assets to raise 110 million yuan.

  Finally, the filming started.

  Anton was ambitious and had great ambitions. He directed his dozen assistant directors and prepared to make a big move.

  At the same time,

  several reporters sent by Eddie to San Francisco to secretly investigate the Life Foundation also sent back some specific information to Eddie.
