The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

Chapter 501 Another Mothy Little Spider Appears

and.

Lake came here at this time because he had business to do.

for example……

The film company under Transcendence Media is the adaptation of Spider-Man's real-life events, and the adaptation of Spider-Man's film "The Amazing Spider-Man: Origin" by Peter Parker himself is about to be released.

Lake promised his little padded jacket Helen and Rachel that he would go to watch the premiere together.

It is well known that Lake is a person who pays great attention to promises.

Words must be spoken, actions must be resolute!

so……

Since Lake made a promise to his little padded jacket, naturally, he would never breach the contract. Even if the hungry giant at that time wanted to drink for another three months, Lake was already ready to let the clone rush back to save the scene.

The day of the premiere.

It wasn't until Lake, Helen, and Rachel finished watching the movie on a private basis and walked out of the theater that they realized that it seemed, like, that this movie was showing signs of becoming a big hit.

At first glance, they all want to buy tickets for the movie "The Amazing Spider-Man: Origins".

By the way...

Lake rubbed his chin. After getting into the car, he watched Rachel fasten Helen's child seat belt, then turned around and said, "What do you expect from this movie?"

"One billion?"

"……box office?"

"Otherwise, do you think it's profit? We spent nearly 300 million on the production cost alone."

"hiss!"

Lake couldn't help but said, "Little spider, is it that hot?"

I didn't see it.

and……

His version of the little spider basically has no sense of existence, Dr. Lizard, he took care of it here, as for Harry, when Lake made the move, the little spider was still living in a deluxe single room in the prison.

Rachel seemed to know what Lake was thinking, smiled, and said: "Peter Parker is a good neighbor of New Yorkers as you, the deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and a senior federal official, said, and the one billion box office is only It is based on our publicity, if you consider some recent hot news, it may break through to 1.5 billion, of course, this is the global box office."

Lake smiled: "You still want to win 1.5 billion in the Federation, if you can do it, I..."

"Me what?"

"..."

Lake looked at the expression on Rachel's face, and stopped talking in time. This thing has been said, and when the time comes, what should Rachel do if he asks someone to swipe the ticket?

He doesn't understand how the film industry works.

But Lake knows how to swipe tickets. After all, this swipe method has been exposed. What if Rachel directly spends money to swipe 1.5 billion, although it may not be that much money, but what if.

Lake has always liked to prostitute others for free, and he doesn't even have to think about others wanting to prostitute himself for free.

Beyond Media is optimistic about the box office this time around.

After all, during this period of time, or in other words, since Peter Parker's debut, the popularity has been very good.

According to Rachel, Lake's rank is too high, and the people he has dealt with are far beyond New York City, although Lake feels that Peter Parker has not done any major things.

But no doubt about it.

Over the years, the little spider's behavior in New York City has almost completely become what a New Yorker's good neighbor is. He usually hangs over New York City, catching thieves and stopping some nighttime criminal activities.

It is no exaggeration to say.

The reason why New York City's crime rate dropped by five points last year was entirely due to the efforts of the little spider.

As for why the real body of the little spider has been exposed, why are those criminals afraid to trouble the little spider?

Ah.

You think that the joke about the little spider being the illegitimate son of a powerful executive of a federal law enforcement agency can be laughed off by the citizens or have various suspicions.

But those criminals will have to weigh it carefully.

What if?

After all, criminals with little strength were caught by the little spider, so they recognized it, and they didn't have the ability to seek revenge from the little spider, but those capable ones dared not act rashly because of the rumors.

Like those Wall Street capitals thought, Lake said so, Peter Parker didn't, but what if Lake said so deliberately for the sake of his own career?

If this touched Peter Parker, hehe, if he won the lottery, wouldn't he suffer?

so……

Peter Parker is still alive and well. In the face of these practical actions that are becoming more and more good neighbors for New Yorkers, even on the Internet, only those citizens who were rescued by the little spider expressed that they would directly buy ten movie tickets. up.

We all know fan behavior is horrible.

Transcendence Media is happy to see the spontaneous behavior of fans swiping tickets. Anyway, they didn't pay, and they gave it real gold and platinum. Why should they stop it? At most, during this period of time, Little Spider That fan site recorded a video saying, don't buy extra movie tickets for him.

But it's obvious.

It's useless.

In just one week of the film's release, all kinds of Spider-Man related peripherals are almost sold out.

Lake smiled and said: "I remember that Transcendence Media and Little Spider gave a contract of conscience, so it's good, if you give more money, Little Spider won't be declared bankrupt."

Rachel was slightly taken aback, then looked at Lake: "Don't you know?"

Lake raised an eyebrow.

Rachel said that they originally prepared nearly 100 million publicity expenses, but two months ago, the publicity expenses that were originally expected to be invested in the federal market were cut in half.

reason?

Peter Parker is hot again.

but……

To be precise, it should be that Osborne is popular again, but the shareholders of Osborne are all in now, so if Osborne is popular now, naturally Peter Parker is also popular.

As for the reason.

In two months, Peter Parker issued a statement at the press conference in the now empty Osborne Industrial Building. Since his best friend handed over the company to him, then he has the responsibility and obligation to guard the friend's business. property.

Good guy.

Is the head so hard?

Go back to the Star Building.

Lake took off his coat, walked to the bar, and when he was pouring himself a drink, he looked at Skye who was coming down the stairs, and asked curiously, "Is the little spider going to take Osborn by force?"

Originally, according to most of the ideas, if Peter Parker didn't want to be bankrupt, then what he needed to do was to stop the loss in time and sell everything that should be sold.

If you sell it now, you may still be able to sell it for a good price, but if you wait until the dozens of lawsuits against Osborne Industries are opened, once all the capital is frozen, it will be tantamount to playing GG.

Although it is still frozen now, it is only because the secret service has not closed the case, but soon, the secret service will close the case, so Peter Parker needs to compete with time for speed.

Once the Secret Service closes the case and the assets are unfrozen for no more than five days, there will definitely be a court that officially accepts the first lawsuit. By then, it will really be over.

Lake remembered that three months ago, Gwen had asked Skye to come to Lake, hoping that Lake would show him the way to save Peter Parker who was about to jump into the fire pit.

Lake also gave.

Osborne is engaged in energy, who would be interested in Osborne's patents for many years?

And you have to be willing to buy without taking advantage of the fire.

To put it simply, this receiver must belong to the kind of master who is emotional and has money, preferably the kind who spends more than a billion and doesn't feel bad at all.

no doubt.

The most suitable candidate for this persona, Tony Stark of Stark Industries, dared to say that he was the second most suitable, and he never dared to be the first.

But it seems that Peter Parker did not choose to do so.

On the way back from staying until the afternoon, Lake also called Pepper to find out about this matter. By the way, he went to find out if that Iron Man had come out of the closed door.

After all, it's been three months. If the nano suit doesn't come out, Lake can almost meet what he needs to say next time he meets Tony Stark.

"You've become bald, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have become stronger."

"..."

Frankly speaking, Lake was quite looking forward to that scene.

Pepper just smiled slightly at Lake's sense of mischief, and then talked about the last time Peter Parker visited her.

Peter Parker came to the door, and he was not alone at the time. He had Gwen and Skye. Because of Skye, and considering the rumors in the market, Pepper gave a very suitable purchase price. .

Of course.

This purchase price is not exclusive to Osborne Industries.

but...

Anyway, you have to pay for it, and Stark Industries is not short of money. It’s all about buying anyway. If you don’t buy anything, it’s more cost-effective if I just pack it up and buy your Osborne Industries.

Yes.

Pepper's takeover offer was for the entirety of Osborne Industries.

This is not taking advantage of the fire to rob. Anyone with a little common sense knows that if Stark takes over, there is no doubt that it is an act of righteousness to give charcoal in a timely manner.

It is a model of a capitalist with a conscience.

If this is the case, then Peter Parker doesn't need to think about how much money he needs to lose after selling everything, but how much money he can make.

but……

Peter Parker was a little moved at first, saying that he would think about it. Pepper directly gave him two days, which was for Skye's sake. But two days later, Peter Parker came to the door alone again, directly Rejected Pepper's acquisition offer.

At first, Pepper wondered if his offer was too low. After thinking about it, he added a number, but Peter Parker rejected it once again.

reason?

It's the same as what Peter Parker said when he held a press conference in Osborne. He intends to hold the banner of Osborne Industries for his good friend, Harry Osborn.

This meow is speechless.

Skye also heard Lake's words, his face was a little dark, he walked down, and said angrily: "Papa, you can directly hold a press conference. Once again, Peter Parker is not your illegitimate child."

Lake: "..."

It's another ten-watch day.

very good.

The debt is almost paid off.

come on!

Awesome! ! !
