After reading half of the comic, Wayne closed it with satisfaction and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

At the same time, he also developed a hint of coveting this gold mine-like comic. There are too many characters that can be photographed in this comic. Marvel not only sold her own son, but even her father was sold.

In North America, if you talk about the most well-known superhero, there is no doubt that Batman Bruce Wayne is invincible, and those in the same grade include Superman Clark Kent, Spider-Man Peter Parker, Wonder Woman Diana Prinz and others.

From a global perspective, the heroes of Marvel Comics are no longer famous. The most famous one is the three DC justice giants led by Superman.

However, when it comes to Marvel comics in North America, people think of more than Peter Parker, and the most popular ones include the Green Fatty and "X-Men".

Sadly, these first-tier superheroes have been sold or mortgaged by Marvel.

In Wayne's opinion, even the most popular Peter Parker is not as good as the set of "X-Men" in his hands. Other heroes exist at most, but this "X-Men" can build the universe alone.

Just plan it from the beginning, this is a movie universe that is completely different from the other styles of Marvel's funny style.

Think about it, since two thousand years, Twentieth Century Fox has produced eight X-Men series, including "X-Men", "X-Men 2", "X-Men 3: The Last Battle", etc.

This does not include the first-class popular "Wolverine" series, and the "Deadpool" series that created a box office miracle. As long as these videos are remembered one by one, Wayne is very excited.

Unfortunately, human energy is limited, and he cannot leave behind the DC hero who has laid a solid foundation and has an invincible potential and turn around to reshoot this series.

"How about it? Does it fit your production style?"

From the beginning of Wayne putting down the comics, Townsend Rossman saw emotional fluctuations in his face.

"Yes, some stories are indeed suitable for my style." Wayne nodded, there is nothing to admit. "It's a pity that Townsend, I have to be very full of work plans, and it's impossible to direct Fox's movies again."

However, after his habitual rejection, he gradually had a trace of other thoughts in the eyes of the 20th Century Fox executive.

That's right, I can't direct this series myself, but it doesn't mean I can't get involved. I'm afraid I have to do some things before I know if it's OK.

To be honest, if it weren't for the situation we have now, some of the characters in "X-Men" really made him very moved.

That is Uncle Wolverine. This character can be said to be the hero with the highest appearance rate in "X-Men". Although his strength is not the first, he is indeed an indispensable member of the mutant universe.

Almost every critical moment, he stood up and reversed the situation, so Uncle Wolf has always been a backbone existence in the mutant universe.

This kind of character, both good and evil, happens to be the type Wayne is best at favorite. Uncle Wolf has a unique feature, he is a hero who has truly killed people.

This is a very tragic mutant. He spent his whole life in suffering. He is definitely a representative of great suffering and deep hatred. Almost those who are close to him will die terrible. All this is like a curse that accompanied his life.

This kind of character is born with dramatic tension and is the type that all directors who pursue it most like.

"You have enough time to think about it, Wayne."

Townsend Rossman was not in a hurry, he saw that the other party was already tempted. "Twentieth Century Fox has discussed that this series of movies will not start in a short time. Of course, if you are willing to take over this series, we can start preparations at any time."

At a senior company meeting on Monday, Twentieth Century Fox did discuss that almost all executives and directors did not think this was a good time to start the series.

There are actually only two movies that are truly successful in Hollywood. One is the Joker, which is popular all over the world, and the other is the Batman: The Moment of War.

The benefits created by these two films are indeed amazing, but they have one thing in common, that is, the background and style of the film are relatively unified, which makes successful examples single.

Everyone is wondering whether superhero movies are popular or director Wayne Greenberg is popular. This doubt will always be in everyone's mind until more specimens appear.

As long as this kind of comic movie is launched, the investment will be less than 100 million US dollars, and it will more or less contain the most expensive special effects work. No one dares to rashly joke about hundreds of millions of dollars.

The final unanimous opinion of the executives of Twentieth Century Fox was to either invite Wayne Greenberg to direct it himself, or continue to wait for those film companies that couldn't help but imitate it and produce a complete film to see the market response.

Until there are enough successful specimens, I am copying them successfully.

"I will think about it seriously."

Wayne's eyes wandered back and forth between the comics and Townsend Rossman many times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

When he heard that the other party was not in a hurry to make a plan, he became more and more sure of his plan, but everything needed to be laid, and this time might last for a long time.

But this series is so attractive. In his heart, it is a large money printing machine. He will never let it go easily if he has the opportunity to get involved. Even if he doesn't have the opportunity, he has to find a way to create opportunities.

Seeing that Wayne did not seem to be perfunctory, Townsend Rossman understood that the basic purpose of coming this time had almost been achieved.

Things themselves cannot be accomplished at once. It is never a matter of a day or night to invite directors of Wayne Greenberg or Steven Spielberg.

Even if the director of this level really agrees, there will be negotiations that last for several months later. It may take a long time to negotiate just the salary.

Directors of this level are basically no different from superstars. Their personal treatment contracts are all piled up like thick books, and all the terms will be marked clearly.

In fact, Townsend Rossmann felt that the ultimate goal of finding Wayne was not just trying to ask him to direct it. As the definite candidate for the next CEO of the 20th Century Fox, he still had many of his own considerations and looked at things farther than most people in the circle.

Of course, it is the best result to be able to invite this young man. Even if he can't, he must plant seeds for him.

According to his own observations, these two movies in the DC superhero series are just the beginning. If they can continue to succeed in the future, they will really establish a movie universe with the same world view. That is the right time for him to invite Wayne.

There is no need to do more, just one or two movies, he can infer most of the market prospects.

Once this kind of film universe works, if you hire Wayne again, you will not be a director, but will have a position that is more suitable for him. It is also the job that is most suitable for him in Townsend Rossman's heart, which is the producer's general planning.

At worst, you can give some long-term benefits, allowing Wayne to plan the mutant universe and create a unified worldview, power system, etc., and then you can completely copy the DC's successful way.

Both of them were thinking about their own thoughts, but in fact they didn't know that some of the thoughts in their hearts did overlap.

Just when Townsend Rossman rushed to the farm in Ventura County as a guest, there were other people in Los Angeles who turned their attention to their own superheroes. The essence of Hollywood has always been successful in assembly line replication, and many companies are indeed jealous of the benefits of such movies.

At this time, in a conference room of Universal Pictures, CEO Ron Mayer and others were also discussing the possibility of making their own superheroes. They have a very popular hero copyright, the Invincible Hulk Hulk.

When it comes to these scattered copyrights, I'm afraid Marvel Comics has no place to cry.

"I suggest we can try to get in touch with Wayne Greenberg?" said an executive in the production department, looking at Ceo Ron Mayer. "There is a lot of news now claiming that he and Warner Bros. have a conflict..."

"Give up this stupid idea!"

Before he could finish his words, Ron Mayer, who was sitting at the front of the conference table, directly interrupted the other party. "This news cannot be true, and we cannot ask him to direct it. Maybe we can find Bill Bakerby to come back and create a new Invincible Hulk again."

Now whenever you mention superhero movies, everyone first thinks of Warner Bros., and then Tim Burton and Wayne Greenberg. But they forgot that the Hulk was brought to the big screen as early as 1988.

At that time, Bill Bakerby, who was the director and producer, produced "The Return of Hulk" for the first time, and the next year, he produced "The Trial of Hulk". So when it comes to superheroes, the first thing that comes to mind for Universal Pictures is Bill Bakerby.

"I will talk to him and plan a project as soon as possible." Brian Taylor, director of the film and television production department, immediately said when he heard Ceo's words.

He is very optimistic about the prospect of making the Hulk movie. Batman is harvesting box offices in the market and has been sold out several times. In this case, anyone in the circle will be jealous.

Now they also have the opportunity to replicate this kind of success. Although the popularity of the Hulk is not as popular as Batman, it is also a first-line popular hero in Marvel comics. As long as the production level is not bad, with the current fanatical popularity of superheroes, the box office will definitely be bad.

It is not just Universal who have the same idea. Sony Columbia has been discussing the possibility of bringing Spider-Man to the screen these days. They obviously have more confidence in Spider-Little, and Peter Parker is a real first-line hero.
