Premiere

Jim quickly found a distributor for the film.

  With the background of the Jameson family and Jim's connections as a former first-line producer, it was not difficult to arrange a movie for the theater. Even the issue of opening the screen, that is, the issue of the proportion of the film, could be easily resolved.

  You know, in "Batman Begins", the biggest star is not the star in the movie, but the investor.

  Tony Stark.

  Playboy, genius inventor, super rich, and so on.

  With so many titles, he showed an arrogant and showy image in front of the public.

  Regardless of 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 recognized as a natural winner.

  Showing Tony Stark's name, this movie is worth 20% of the film.

  In addition, Jim is confident in the quality of the film itself.

  40% is not a difficult thing.

  But Jim is full of confidence and pursues 60% of the film.

  First, the configuration alone would squeeze out other movies released at the same time.

  Secondly, Jim had been silent for so many years, and finally saw the possibility of a comeback. Of course, he would go all out and would not easily let go of the fleeting opportunity. He

  used all his skills.

  Finally, he set a release date and held a premiere.

  The publicity was carried out simultaneously.

  The novel "Batman Begins" is a very famous new book in New York recently.

  Anton's previous preparations worked.

  Knowing that the movie adapted from the novel was about to be released, many book fans gathered in the forum specially opened by the Daily Bugle for the novel, bragging and talking nonsense every day.

  At the same time, the news that Tony Stark spent 50 million to invest in a movie was also widely circulated among the crowd.

  A group of top rich second-generations finally remembered the bet that Anton and Tony Stark made that day.

  Therefore, rumors were everywhere.

  This movie actually originated from a bet between two rich second-generations!

  Some people became curious.

  Some people directly asserted that it must be a bad movie and would never watch it.

  However, Anton also released news that the idea of ​​Batman actually came from Tony Stark.

  His parents died unexpectedly, and he inherited a billion-dollar fortune. On the surface, he is a playboy, but in private he is quite serious and thinks about saving the world all day long.

  People agree with the first half of this sentence, but the second half is a matter of opinion.

  A business owner who sells arms, if you say he thinks about how to save the world all day long, it must be a cold joke.

  He thinks about how to start a war all day long, which is in line with people's positioning of arms giants.

  In any case, under the continuous bombardment of these news, the movie Batman has also attracted the attention of many people, and the exposure has increased dramatically.

  Anton checked the system space and found that Batman's fan value has increased to 800,000.

  The movie has not yet been released, and these are all fans brought by the novel.

  To a certain extent, publishing ten more novels will barely be enough to buy the fan value of Batman's armor.

  However, with the movie about to be released, Anton is too lazy to think so much.

  As long as Batman's popularity is promoted, there will be no worries about no one joining the pit, and it should not be difficult to get 9.98 million fan value.

  He took out his cell phone and called Tony Stark, who responded with some sarcasm.

  In the end, Tony agreed to attend the premiere.

  Tony was a man who loved to tinker with things, and such people were very curious.

  In other words, he was very interested in this movie.

  Of course, the interest here did not mean that Tony wanted to see the content of the movie, but that he wanted to make fun of Anton through this movie.

  Tony thought he knew very well what kind of person Anton was.

  He really didn't expect that Anton would actually make a movie after tinkering for three months.

  And it was a superhero movie!

  A type that Anton had created and had never heard of before.

  "Jarvis, I want to talk to Pepper."

  Thinking of the bet, Tony smiled and said, "Hey, honey, postpone my trip to Afghanistan. You know, there's something very interesting waiting for me recently... Oh, by the way, I might need a female companion at the premiere. Would you be willing to be my female companion?"

  That day.

  The premiere began.

  Jonah Jameson arrived.

  "I'll be looking forward to it."

  Jameson smiled, "Hopefully this movie won't make me fall asleep."

  "Then you won't be disappointed."

  Anton patted his chest, full of confidence.

  Next, except for Tony Stark who loves to be late, almost all the people arrived.

  After the routine speeches were over and the reporters took pictures, the movie was about to start.

  At this time.

  Tony Stark finally arrived late.

  His female companion was Pepper Potts, also known as Pepper Potts.

  Anton was not unfamiliar with her.

  In many parties before, Pepper Potts was often the little expert who handled the aftermath for Tony.

  Over the years, the only person who could control Tony was probably his assistant.

  "You really like to be late, Tony."

  Anton greeted him.

  "Anton, I will look forward to you becoming my bag-carrying brother after the movie is over."

  Tony laughed.

  In the past three months, he almost forgot

  about the bet. Tony never took things in life to heart. Including the 50 million he spent this time, this amount of money was nothing to him.

  But when the movie was released, the crazy publicity and the rumors of the bet reminded him of the grudge with Anton.

  "After watching the movie, I hope you can still say such things."

  Anton shrugged.

  "You don't think you can really make a classic, do you?"

  Tony curled his lips and pulled Pepper to sit down. He thought to himself that as long as he was not interested, he would get up and leave immediately and come back at a good time. Anyway, he would not let Anton slip away from under his nose.

  ...

  At the same time.

  San Francisco.

  Life Foundation Headquarters Building.

  Carlton Drake sat in a spacious office, looking at the bright scenery outside the window, his face as gloomy as water, as if covered by dark clouds.

  He threw the information in his hand at the face of the bodyguard leader in front of him.

  "How many days has it been?"

  Drake was furious, spitting: "Just Eddie, how many days have you chased him, how many people have you lost? If you can't catch him, what's the point of me supporting you?"

  "Boss, besides us, there are others who are chasing him."

  The bodyguard leader did not dare to refute, and whispered: "Their equipment is very good and special. They look like people from Osborn."

  "Osborn... Norman Osborn, this bastard..."

  Drake clenched his fists.

  With the power of the Life Foundation, it is still not strong enough to confront Oscorp head-on.

  However, Oscorp is in New York after all.

  Norman Osborn may be able to reach San Francisco, but the principle that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake has been verified long ago.

  Otherwise, the Life Foundation would have been in the pocket of Oscorp.

  But the key is that, given the current situation, the Life Foundation can only admit defeat and take this loss.

  The only chance to turn the tables is to catch Eddie, turn the research results into data, and put them on the desk of the San Francisco City Government. By then, those bastard politicians who only care about interests will naturally open their arms to the Life Foundation again.

  Symbiotes are definitely the development trend of the future.

  This is intuition, and it is also destiny. Carlton Drake is convinced of this.

  "What else?"

  Drake glanced at the head of the bodyguards: "Tell me about the situation of the Daily Bugle in detail."

  "The actual controller of the Daily Bugle is Anton Jameson, the grandson of the founder Jonah Jameson. Eddie had a close relationship with him when he was the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle."

  The head of the bodyguards said: "The public opinion attacks on the Internet are related to Anton."

  "Teach him a lesson."

  Drake ordered in a cold tone.

  The head of the bodyguards spoke carefully: "Boss, Jonah Jameson is a guest of honor of the New York City government. If we want to take action against them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get away with it. It is inevitable that they will find out about us... The San Francisco City Government is already very dissatisfied with us. If we completely offend them because of this matter, I'm afraid..."

  Drake's face sank, and his teeth were almost bleeding.

  He felt that he was in a dilemma now.

  Everything he did was blocked!

  "Shit!"

  Drake was furious. "Anyway, I want you to teach him a lesson. You must let him know the consequences of offending our Life Foundation."

  "Yes!"

  The bodyguard leader did not dare to refute, nodded his head and agreed, then left the office.

  It took Drake a long time to calm down.

  He thought of Oscorp.

  "Norman, you want to acquire my company, it will never happen!"

  Drake's eyes were filled with chills: "Anton Jameson, don't think you can stay safe hiding in New York. No matter what, I want you to pay the price!"
