Chapter 57 I'm Just a Storyteller

New York, Manhattan, Ke Wen, who came back from Gotham after two days of daily life, came to the city and stood in front of the building called "Marvel" Comics. Whether in the DC world or the Marvel world, as the two giants of American comics, the two big men who have loved and killed each other for nearly a century, their relationship with each other is much better than we know. Supporting each other through the most difficult times, and learning from each other's hero characters to create superheroes with their own characteristics, the most interesting point is that they will slightly change each other's company logos, and then put them into their comic works. Connect.

For example, in the Marvel world, there will be a comic giant called DG Company, who will extend the work with Ye Xiao and Hyperion. In fact, it is the DC editorial department and Batman and Superman who have changed their vests. In the DC world, they use Marvel's former name, Marvel, as a proxy and as an interaction. At this time, Ke Wen was standing at the door of Marvel Comics, holding a published Spider-Man comic magazine and a thick stack of manuscripts in his hand. The Spider-Man comic magazine showed that the publication time was two years ago. , Ke Wen compared his time with the time when he came to this world, and then realized that this comic was not long after he was still in Amnesty Bay City after completing the task issued by the system to himself, and it was also there, Ke Wen meets someone he shouldn't know in this world.

Coming here, Ke Wen wanted to confirm his conjecture and took a deep breath. Ke Wen walked into the door of this Marvel Comics company and said to the receptionist at the front desk, "Hello. , I'd like to know what office Stanley Lebow, your editor-in-chief and company director, oh, which is Mr. Stan Lee, I've contacted you before, had an appointment, and I need to talk to him about the capital injection. "

Before coming, Ke Wen also did his homework. In fact, not long after Spider-Man comics appeared, Ke Wen also noticed the existence of Marvel Comics in this world. It's just not the same as the real-world Marvel Comics it owns. The Marvel Comics company I know almost declared bankruptcy before it turned over. The copyright of his own son Spider-Man was sold, and the X-Men were also packaged and sent away. Finally, relying on the second-tier hero Iron Man, the picture Actors and the determination to go all out has made a successful turnaround. In the comic-reformed superhero movie, he has successfully become the leader and beat DC.

The world I live in is a comic company that Marvel once used the name Marvel, but it is a small and medium-sized enterprise that is still in the development stage. It also draws superhero comics, but the problem is that the superhero itself is by your side. The superheroes drawn can basically find the blueprint in the superheroes they know. So the question is, as a superhero fan, can you accept that the characters in the comics you read are more attractive than real superheroes? Obviously not, but it doesn't look like a superhero comic book that doesn't have its own characteristics.

Therefore, the Marvel Comics company has maintained a tepid stage, and this launch, almost purely original Spider-Man comics, also injected a dose of a booster to the Marvel Comics company at a critical moment. An almost original superhero, plus he didn't start from the stereotyped perspective of saving the world. Instead, he paid attention to his growth and troubles as a teenager after gaining ability, which made the public feel refreshed. The first issue was almost sold out. The Spider-Man comic brought enthusiasm to the Marvel company.

As a small and medium-sized comic company, they also understand that the most important thing now is to continue to create on this established foundation, to expand themselves with new characters and new stories, and these require enough money, time and manpower, And these are what Marvel Comics lacks the most. Even with the original character of Spider-Man, it is also the reason why Cowen came here.

Office of the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics,

The gray-haired, spirited old man is sitting in his chair, looking at the drawing board in front of him, which is about his own creation of Spider-Man samples, storyboards, and story blueprints, but he is temporarily stuck in a The bottleneck, he needs more original heroes to interact with the character of Spider-Man.

The rhythmic knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and the secretary in charge of reception led Ke Wen in. "Editor-in-chief, I'm sorry to disturb your creation, but this Mr. Kevin Ke has made an appointment with you before. I think you can chat with him about the capital injection."

"Of course, I'd love to." When he saw Ke Wen behind the secretary, the old man, who was both familiar and unfamiliar with Ke Wen, also smiled and greeted Ke Wen warmly.

Seeing the enthusiasm of his boss, the secretary also left very interestingly, leaving space for the old and young. And Ke Wen was also looking at this somewhat disorganized office, looking at the Spider-Man drawings hanging on it, with some emotion, it turned out that this is where Spider-Man was born, and everything came from a meeting between himself and this old man. .

"Why, is this the first time you've seen a cartoonist's studio?" The old man didn't feel offended by Ke Wen's curiosity about his studio, but asked with interest.

"It's about the same. It's a bit different from what I imagined, but it's also in line with the style of cartoonists. So, what should I call you, Stan Lee? Or OAA (OneAboveAll)?"

Looking at the old man in front of him, it was difficult for Ke Wen to connect him with ordinary people, especially after he met Men Yasushi.

"Call me Stan Lee, OAA doesn't have much to do with me, you can equate OAA with the supreme god of this world, but I'm not OAA, I'm just an old man with shared memories from other universes , by the way, in another real world, I'm dead at 96."

"Really?" Ke Wen wasn't too surprised by what the old man said. After all, the old man he knew was much older than the one in front of him. The one in front of him was in his 60s at most. Although he has lived for almost a century, it is normal for him to die. But in this way, Ke Wen also has a question in his mind, "Since you can share your own memory with other universes, why don't you use the memories of other universes to expand your company?"

"Oh, kid, you've stumped me, I told you, I just have the memory of other universes, it doesn't mean I have the ability to bear, I'm a 65-year-old now, and I'm going to take other universes. The memory of the universe is all shared. I can’t guarantee whether I can still live at the moment when I am not allowed to receive it. Besides, I have no divine power, and I can’t make any changes to this world. The future of knowing everything, don’t you think? Doesn't it make any sense? I'm just an old man who writes stories. For me, how to write a story that children will like is more interesting than being a sage who knows everything, you say? ?"

"It's not unreasonable, then this Spider-Man comic..." Ke Wen also picked up the Spider-Man comic in his hand. If the memory is shared, then this Spider-Man comic shouldn't appear so late.

"Oh, you said this, I remember that after I contacted you, I also shared memories with one of them in my sleep, you gave me inspiration, and I from another universe gave me an image, so he , was born. Well, I have answered your question, so what is the purpose of your coming? It's time to answer me. "

After getting the answer he wanted, Ke Wen also handed the stack of manuscripts under the Spider-Man comic magazine to the old man. The top of the manuscript was an image, a Chinese boy holding a book and A European and American cool guy wearing a black hat and jacket stands back to back, and as the background is a windmill tower, and finally the name - Kamen Rider W, the two-person Kamen Rider Detective!

After seeing this picture, the old man was also attracted to the past, directly picked up the story blueprint, and began to look at it there. As a cartoonist, he began to be attracted by the storyline in the blueprint, and Regarding the character settings inside, putting on reading glasses, the old man began to read one by one, ignoring Ke Wen who was sitting in front of him.

Time passed little by little, from the morning sun rising in the east to the sunset in the west. During this period, Ke Wen also sat in the office with the old man. The old man looked at the story blueprint he gave, and he watched For the Spider-Man drawings created by the old man in the past two years, he will occasionally pour a cup of coffee for the old man, and then continue to maintain this harmony until the old man has finished reading the blueprint of the story.

"Huh, this is really a pretty good story, but it looks like it hasn't been written yet?" The old man, who had finished reading it in one breath, came back to his senses, and when he looked at the sunset that had already started to fall outside the window, he understood himself. It's been almost a day, but at this time he doesn't care about the passage of time at all, and instead said to Ke Wen who was sitting in front of him.

"How can it be finished, the story of Kamen Rider, as long as there are humans in the world, then Kamen Rider will be passed down in people's memory from generation to generation, this is the story I want to show you, I hope you , can help me turn these stories into comics and publish them. You don’t need to worry about time, money, and manpower. You can even make live TV and animation. Of course, I prefer to do live TV, and I can still do it at that time. Movies, you don't need to worry about money, I just need you to carry forward the meaning of Kamen Rider, and I believe you can do it."

"What's the point?"

"Love and peace, freedom, justice, this is the core of Kamen Rider." Ke Wen looked directly at the old man's glasses and said seriously.

"It's a great meaning. If you invest here, then it's not a big problem for me, and, listen to what you mean, it seems that you have prepared more than one Kamen Rider story blueprint, many?"

"Well, there are thirty-four so far, and some are still being perfected. Of course, you can also mobilize your editorial team to help me improve it. What I provide is just a framework, but the story is always created by ourselves. , As for the story blueprint, I am a Kamen Rider myself, and there are so many stories in my life."

"Yes, I will let the secretary draw up a contract and send it to you. If possible, I will call the editorial department for a meeting in three days. You also need to be present."

"In three days? Well, yes, it's not a big problem. Then, it's hard work for you. See you in three days."

After getting the old man's exact answer, Ke Wen didn't stay any longer, but he was fine, but the old man was already this age, so it's not good to continue to let others work overtime.

"Can I ask you a question?" Just as Ke Wen opened the door and was about to leave, the old man suddenly stopped him and asked.

"Please speak."

"Why do you do this, you have to know that once these stories are actually turned into comics and released, and at the same time they really create a new trend in the market, as Kamen Rider itself, those of your enemies can easily learn from these stories. After all, when we draw comics, sometimes we have to publish a set, which is the ability setting of the characters, which is not good news for you."

The old man is very clear about the meaning of this story blueprint. The story comes from life and is higher than life. And the Ke Wen in front of him is the blueprint of the Kamen Rider story itself. He should be aware of this problem, so he is very puzzled.

"So that's what you're worried about, as you said, indeed, many of the stories in this are from me, but if my enemies want to target me based on the settings in these comics, it can only explain He really doesn't have a good brain, Kamen Rider never shows his ability by setting, what he needs is here." Pointing to the position of his heart, Ke Wen said, "As for why, it's like You said, you are a storyteller, and I am a person who likes to share stories, the story of Kamen Rider, I think, more people need to know and recognize, this is why I am here The reason, then, Ciao ~ old man."
