During the conversation just now, Kevin felt it. When he asked Lance whether he wanted to direct "Iron Man" or "Invincible Hulk", Lance avoided the topic. [Marshmallow wants to read almost all books, which are much more stable than ordinary sites, and the updates are faster. There are no advertisements in the full text.] In fact, this result is not surprising. Even himself, he couldn't help but imagine in his mind what the "Invincible Hulk" photographed by Lance would look like.

"It seems that Iron Man, you have to find a director for us. After all, you are the producer now, right?" Kevin shook his head helplessly, but Lance just shrugged his shoulders lightly, looking as if he was calmly accepting the task. Kevin turned around and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he stopped again and said with interest, "A previous version of the Hulk was filmed by Lee. Now this version will be directed by you, and you are the strongest competitors at the Oscar this year. I'll book here now, and I will definitely buy tickets to watch the Invincible Hulk in person."

Watching Kevin leave, Lance raised his eyebrows lightly. He had never thought of this. This was indeed an interesting coincidence, right?

After sitting in the driver's seat, Kevin carefully recalled what had just happened. While it was interesting, he also had a hint of helplessness. He gently tapped the steering wheel with his right hand, and his head was running rapidly. Then he called Langmeier's cell phone. After waiting for a while, the phone was connected, "Hey, Lang, it's me, Kevin. I heard that the Hulk Project, you are planning to hand it over to Lance. You have never told me this news. Your confidentiality work is really in place."

"This is just an accident." Lang chuckled with a happier smile. In front of Kevin, there was no need to hide it. Marvel Studios will know the specific content of the restart of the Hulk project. "In fact, we have not really decided yet. You should know that Lance has been busy recently for the release of the new movie."

Lang's answer surprised Kevin. Did Lance and Universal Pictures not reach a cooperation agreement yet? Or was Lang's sloppy eyes? His thoughts were running quickly, "So, are you saying that Lance nodded and agreed to be director of Iron Man? Or do you have other better plans?"

Lang chuckled twice to hide his surprise. The news of "Iron Man" and Lance's contact was no longer news, especially the news that Tom Cruise is interested in acting and being a producer, which has made many people look forward to it. However, overall, everyone is still in the waiting and watching stage. First, everyone still has doubts about the comic adaptation movie, and second, "Rampant Road" is about to be released, and people still hope to wait for the box office of this work before making a judgment.

"Lance has decided to play Tom as Iron Man?" Lang was not so easy to be fooled, and then launched a counterattack. "It seems that I have been slowing down. How much time has passed? Your speed is really fast. Does this mean that Marvel Studios will make big moves this year?" But in one sentence, Lang shifted his focus to Marvel Studios reads;.

But this was enough for Kevin. He did not continue to tangle with Lang. The two of them talked about Tai Chi and hung up the phone.

Kevin originally just wanted to test how much Long knew about the Marvel Universe and what role Universal Studios played in the Marvel Universe. Strictly speaking, Universal Studios and Marvel Studios are competitors. After all, the Hulk's adaptation copyright is in the hands of Universal Studios. If Marvel Studios can take back the Hulk's adaptation copyright, it would be great. But if not, this also means that for the sake of Marvel Universe, they must cooperate with Universal Studios.

Now it seems that Chaos Pictures obviously has its own calculations and has not revealed the news about the Marvel Universe to Universal Pictures. This also means that Marvel Pictures and Chaos Pictures are on the same front, and they will join forces to fight against Universal Pictures in an attempt to gain the upper hand in the division of interests of the Hulk.

Thinking of this, Kevin became more and more sure of Chaos Pictures’ sincerity, and of course, he also had ambitions.

On the other hand, Long's thoughts were very different. He was not sure how the negotiations between Lance and Kevin were going, but what he could be sure was that Lance was indeed the best choice for comic adaptations, which also meant that Marvel Studios and Universal Studios would become official competitors.

Kevin's phone call today is more of a test than a demonstration, and it is also the clarion call for head-on competition. Just as Universal Pictures was considering whether to choose a "wanted order" or "Invincible Hulk", Marvel Studios had already approached Lance with his head held high. He had to make a decision quickly.

In fact, Lang was still scared of "Invincible Hulk". He chose Ang Lee to shoot "Hulk Hulk" because he believed in his directorial ability, whether it could give the Hulk more vitality. Facts have proved that Ang Lee is indeed an excellent director, but he still has not been able to save the Hulk. So, can Lance?

Therefore, from the perspective of selfishness, Lang still tends to be a "wanted warrant". However, after several conversations in the past, Lance has infinite enthusiasm for the "Invincible Hulk", but lacks interest in the "wanted warrant". So, how should he make a choice?

After thinking about it, Lang pressed the inside line of the landline and "Help me connect Gael's phone." After a while, a capable and neat but not gentle female voice came from the other end, "Gal Anne Hudder, please speak."

"Hey, Gail, it's me, Lang, is it convenient now?" Lang omitted the polite part and jumped directly into the topic. The "convenience" here refers to having a private conversation.

"Long, give me a minute." Gale whispered and talked to the person next to him, probably keeping the office quiet.

Gale Anne Hurd, this name is not familiar to laymen, but is definitely not unfamiliar to industry insiders. A brief summary is: James Cameron's personal producer and ex-wife. This is enough. Gale teamed up with James to create many classic works such as "Terminator" series, "Abyss", "Alien 2". Even if he left James, Gale was also an outstanding producer. The Hulk project has always been under her charge, including the "Hulk Hulk" three years ago.

It is worth mentioning that Gale, the "Walking Dead" who later attracted countless fans, was a core member of the producer team.

"Lang, say." Gale's voice came from the receiver again, and the noise around it had disappeared, and the office quieted down. "What do you think after reading the script of Invincible Hulk?" Lang made the purpose clear in one sentence. Gale was not surprised. A few days ago, Lance handed over the first draft of the script of "Invincible Hulk" to Universal Pictures, but the script was not complete, with less than eighty pages. Lance said that he was still working hard. The first draft of this script was to make Universal Pictures officially consider cooperation matters. This is Lance's original words.

"Excellent. Lang, you should believe in Lancelot's ability." Gail answered neatly, but did not hide his praise, but Lang was not satisfied. "How outstanding is it?" Gail pondered, and gently raised the ending tone, as if he was not sure what Lang said. Lang further explained, "It's worth spending one million to buy the script, it's worth taking another risk, or it's worth signing immediately?"

Gale carefully considered his words, "Long, do you still remember the interesting story when James was filming Alien 2? The interesting story when he was almost ruined in his career?"

Before the filming of "Alien 2" started, it was under tremendous pressure because the previous work Ridley Scott was in front of it, and it was not easy to copy it successfully. After careful consideration, Twentieth Century Fox decided to hand over the script to James Cameron to write the then James, who was just a fledgling one. However, after completing the script of "Terminator", he became a well-known science fiction film screenwriter in Hollywood. When Twentieth Century Fox found James, he was still writing the script for "First Blood 2", but James confidently believed that he could complete two scripts at the same time, so he took on two jobs in one go.

James finished writing "The First Drop of Blood 2", but because the producers kept asking for modification, it was delayed a lot of time. Then "Terminator" was about to start filming, but James only wrote more than 60 pages of the script for "Alien 2", and there was still a long way to finish it. He could only call to explain the situation. Producer Walter Hill lterill was furious and said directly, "Don't think of getting stuck in Hollywood." After issuing a ban order, he hung up the phone.

Later, after the executive producer David Giller Vidiler read the script, he thought it was very outstanding, so he convinced Walter and told James that they were willing to wait until James finished filming "Terminator" before returning to continue to complete the script of "Alien 2".

When Gale mentioned this incident, Lang's memory immediately awakened, because the whole Hollywood knew what happened later. "Alien 2" became a classic in film history and even won seven Oscar nominations. "So outstanding?" Lang understood, he was inevitably a little surprised. This was almost a decision he could not refuse.

Gail didn't intend to explain too much, but just chuckled, "He's not James, but he's Lancelot."

Such a simple sentence gave Lang no room for refutation and let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, I understand."

"I made an appointment with Aviarad Vird, Stan Lee met, and I will ask for their professional advice at that time." Gale added.

After hanging up the phone, Lang recalled Kevin's phone call today and Lance's previous initiative. He knew that mother-in-law and mother-in-law were waiting for Gail to meet with professionals such as Avi, Stan, etc., but after missing the opportunity, he might not be able to find a good opportunity again. Time waited for no one.
