Kevin is not an old fox like Barry Mayer or Brad Gray. He has only been involved in the production work for only five years. He has not been six months since taking over Marvel Studios. However, Kevin is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually, otherwise he would not have sat in this position.

However, at this moment, facing Lance, Kevin seemed to be facing the vast ocean. The unfathomable feeling always took the initiative without realizing it. Even though Kevin was still rational, he could not think of a reason to refuse in his mind, and could only follow Lance step by step. This reminded Kevin that the gossip in Hollywood in the past year. Under the joint blockade of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, Lance seemed in a mess, but he could always regain the initiative. This was definitely not just achieved by relying on the help of one Tom Cruise - or a few Tom Cruise.

"Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, and finally... Avengers."

Kevin took back his mind and kept his focus, "How do you plan to build the first phase of the Marvel Universe?"

Conceiving and designing is one thing, and execution is another. So far, the Marvel Universe has remained in the theoretical stage, with the release of the scripts of "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk", which also means that the theory has officially entered the practical stage.

"Under the background of the Iraq War, in order to invest in war and develop war machines, superheroes must stand up and prevent the world from falling into war. This is the core line of the first phase." Lance was obviously prepared. "We can divide the Avengers into two parts. At the end of Iron Man, Tony Stark heard about the San Francisco laboratory explosion, and then hinted at the Hulk's appearance; when the Hulk ended, Tony found Bruce who was preparing to retire to the mountains and forests, and persuaded him to join forces to stop the ambition of the US team."

Kevin has not finished reading the script of "Invincible Hulk", so he can't understand the connection and just nodded simply. But in fact, Lance conceived when writing the script of "Invincible Hulk". The beauty represented by Ross can become the dark line through the first stage, hidden under the surface of the story, connecting all the stories.

In the last life, the conception of the Marvel Universe was not clear. At the end of the "Invincible Hulk", Iron Man made a cameo appearance in the Easter Egg part and met General Ross; however, firstly, Ross' role was incomplete, and Tony's position was naturally blurred, making the core of the first stage of the Marvel Universe unclear. Secondly, the "Invincible Hulk" defeat almost kicked the Hulk out of the Marvel Universe, and later he did not take too much care of this role when he conceived the plot. But now, Lance has made significant changes, trying to add more depth to the entire universe while maintaining the relaxed and pleasant popcorn essence of Marvel's works.

However, Kevin quickly smelled an abnormality, "So, Captain America came on stage, he worked for the US side, right?"

Lance nodded and affirmed, "Captain America is actually the earliest test piece among the war machine, and he is also the only successful test piece. He will definitely work for the government."

"So, you mean, Captain America will stand on the opposite side of Iron Man, the Hulk?" Kevin frowned slightly. He could smell the trick, but he couldn't figure out the idea for a while.

In fact, Lance is already laying the foundation for the second phase of the Marvel Universe, but these dark lines will not be pulled out immediately. At the right time, such as "Captain America 3: Civil War" and "Avengers 3", they will become the main lines throughout the entire work, truly presenting the grandeur of the Marvel Universe. However, in a single work, they will not overwhelm the main.

Lance chuckled, "You won't expect that all heroes will unite and have a big party?" Lance did not answer positively, but joked.

Kevin couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth, "No, no, I don't mean that." The United States has always paid attention to personality and respected ideas, so it's normal to adhere to different ideas on the same thing; and from the perspective of filming, all the heroes in the Avengers are friendly and enthusiastic and in love with each other, that's meaningless, "But what about Thor? He can't also involve the government, right?"

Thor is a "god" outside the universe.

Lance smiled, "Remember? Each movie exists independently, and even if you don't watch other movies, it will have no effect. But if you watch other movies, you will find the easter egg..."

"Early egg!" Kevin also reacted and said first.

Lance nodded and affirmed, "The story of Thor's work is still mainly based on Asgard, the eternal realm. However, when he came to Earth, he met his girlfriend. In the comics, this girlfriend is a nurse, but we can make some modifications. Her girlfriend becomes a scientist, and her research is supported by the government..."

Even without Lance's words, Kevin reacted, "Then his girlfriend discovered that the government was trying to turn her research into a war machine, so she began to object, and Thor stood on her side."

"Or," Lance added, "Captain America found Thor and believed that his power could save people who suffered disasters in the war. His girlfriend expressed her support, so Thor stood on Captain America's side." Kevin's eyes lit up, and he realized that Lance had not written the script for "Thor" yet. They could make plans based on the situation after the release of "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk". "Or, Thor refused to participate in the fight between mankind, so neither side helped, so he withdrew from the war."

Kevin finally understood what Lance meant by the so-called "Marvel Universe". Each movie is independent, but unification will lay the hidden threads. If the character succeeds, it will pull out the hidden threads and lead to the subsequent story. If the film fails, then it will bury the hidden threads so that the characters will miss the subsequent work, which will not affect the overall puzzle at all.

"So, in the Avengers, are you going to fight against the government?" Kevin couldn't help but think like this.

Unexpectedly, Lance shook his head again, "No, 'Avengers' I plan to continue the story of 'Thor'. After Thor defeated Loki by Asgard, Loki united foreign enemies and began to invade the earth. So, the Avengers had to temporarily put aside their differences and unite in order to save the earth."

Unexpectedly, completely unexpectedly, Kevin discovered more and more that Lance knew the Marvel Universe well, and he felt extremely excited. He was ready to join the first phase of the Marvel Universe. Just when everyone thought that superheroes were about to fight, Lance united everyone with a crisis of earth destruction. This not only increased fans' recognition and love for heroes, but also made the entire Marvel Universe backstory full.

"So what about their differences?" Kevin couldn't help but wonder.

Lance said for granted, "It can be the main line of the second stage to further explore the story of each character, or we can adjust the kernel idea and reset the story according to current events."

"Wow." Kevin couldn't help but sigh softly, and aftertaste it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Wow! What should I say?"

"Okay (yes)?" Lance's answer stunned Kevin, and then the laughter burst out. Lance was reminding them of their cooperation: whether they would join forces to develop the Marvel Universe.

Kevin nodded, his smile stopped slightly, and gave the expected answer, "Okay." As long as he really listened to Lance's idea of ​​the Marvel Universe, Kevin believed that no one in the Creative Committee would disagree with this cooperation, which was simply...it was exciting.

"However, I still have to bring this script back." Kevin raised the script of "Invincible Hulk" in his hand. "As for the Marvel Universe... is it possible that you went to our company to give a report in person?"

"I don't have time." Lance shook his head and refused without any hesitation, which disappointed Kevin. "However, Theo will take a team to Marvel Studios to communicate with you further about the framework of the Marvel Universe, and of course, about the cooperation between the two companies."

"Perfect, perfect!" Kevin gently patted his palm with the rolled up script, and his mind began to run quickly - in this cooperation, where should Marvel Studios place itself, what benefits should they strive for, and what results should they expect. At this moment, Kevin returned to the position of CEO and planned for the company's future.

"I think today's talk will be like this for the time being." Lance interrupted Kevin's thoughts. Kevin looked up at Lance, nodded in agreement, "I need to go back and sort out my thoughts now. You know, there is really too much information today." Kevin pointed to his head with the script, and his simple words were full of profound meaning.

While speaking, Kevin stood up and prepared to leave, "Thank you, Lance, thank you. I hope we can cooperate happily." Kevin stretched out his right hand and showed a big smile on his face. With Lance's guarantee, it was not just "Iron Man". Kevin believes that the rise of Marvel Studios is just around the corner.

Lance held Kevin's right hand and gently snatched it, "Of course, the cooperation is pleasant." Let go of his right hand and looked at Kevin's back as he turned around and left, Lance suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Kevin." Kevin stopped and turned around, "I forgot to tell you, I will be responsible for directing the 'Hulk'."
