I'm the Demon King in Marvel

"Jonathan, I hope you can give me a good reason."

"Lingxian and Deadpool showed up in my office. They said something major had happened in the main universe of the movie..."

"Wait a minute!" Kevin interrupted his narration and asked, "Who is Lingxian?"

Deadpool is very famous and has already had two independent movies, which received good audience response. After Disney acquired Fox, Marvel is launching a new project related to Deadpool, so Kevin, the big boss, knows the name of Deadpool.

But Lingxian...who is it?

In this "real" world, popularity is not determined by the strength of a character's abilities; only characters who can make money are famous!

Spirit appearance?

If Jonathan hadn't suddenly mentioned it, Kevin would have had no idea that Marvel had created this character.

Who can blame Marvel for creating so many characters over the years?

The big boss is not the editor who keeps an eye on content creation all the time, so how could he possibly know all the roles?

"She is Eternal's daughter in name only, but actually she is Eternal's clone." Jonathan quickly explained for his boss.

"Tsk tsk, you creative people are so perverted!" Kevin joked, "I can't even play as many games as you do."

The characters in the comics more or less carry the editor's personal ideas, or even directly reflect part of the creator's consciousness. As the president of an entertainment company, Kevin has known these inside stories for a long time.

Sometimes in order to invite big-name editors or directors, Kevin would find out what they like and then cater to their tastes... Isn't that how Loli Island came about?

"Boss, this is not the time to joke around." Jonathan was anxious and in no mood to respond to his boss' dirty talk. He said anxiously, "They are in my office. I hope you can go over and see them..."

"no need."

Lingxian appeared in the office of the Marvel CEO carrying Deadpool.

He looked Kevin Feige up and down and couldn't help but frowned: "Are you the one who created us?"

Because of the tacit rules, Kevin was not surprised by their appearance, and it was even more impossible for him to detect whether he was real or fake.

"To be precise, I am only the president of this company, responsible for managing it. The people who created your characters are our editors, especially the late Mr. Stan Lee..."

"Dead?" Lingxian interrupted him, looking surprised: "My father is the omnipotent creator god, how could the person who created him die?"

"Of course, because there are no gods in this world, nor any magic or super powers..." Kevin answered with a smile, quite like he was educating a child.

"No super powers?"

As he spoke, Lingxian waved his hand and turned the cabinets on the wall of the office into molecular state, which were then reassembled into new objects.

Everything happens in a flash.

After the deed was done, the spirit appeared and asked a question that went straight to Kevin and Jonathan's souls: "What is this?"

With a loud "boom", the thunder pierced the leaden clouds and destroyed the shackles deep in the two people's consciousness, opening a door for them that they had never thought of.

"This..." Kevin and Jonathan lost the ability to speak for a short while.

"Since we can come to this world and bring super powers, why didn't Stan Lee inform my father when he died? My father will definitely be able to help him survive after he comes here!"

As the incarnation of Eternity used to experience the emotions of life, Lingxian is contaminated with more human nature than Eternity, so he has learned to think in a human way and knows the desires of living beings.

Although the concept of "enlightenment" that He represents cannot take effect in this "real" world, straightforward words no longer need to rely on "enlightenment" to be understood.

"You..." Kevin and Jonathan were dumbfounded.

They really hadn't thought of this before, and even though they had assumed that characters from comics or movies could jump out, they had never thought of utilizing their abilities.

This so-called "real world" was already a world in the Marvel box the moment it appeared, and the people in it were naturally influenced by the real Marvel editors.

They will never realize it unless the editors make them realize it.

However, this "real world" is endowed with the attribute of "reality", so the people in it have independent thinking ability, and their independence is stronger than the characters within the Marvel multiverse.

After listening to Lingxian's story, Kevin and Jonathan did not become deaf, nor did they shout out the famous words "What are you talking about?"

Instead, I became excited, so excited that I was shaking!

"Yeah, why not? Why didn't we think of that before?"

"Haha, powerful super powers! Endless lives! They are all ours!"

……

Just like we suddenly find that we have a magic pen that can draw whatever we want, Kevin and Jonathan’s “cognitive barriers” were broken and they suddenly became enlightened.

The two were no longer panicked or anxious, and they all looked towards Ling Xian with eager desire, as if they wanted to eat Him alive.

Seeing that he had aroused the other party's desire, Lingxian smiled complacently, not caring at all about the two people's eager gazes.

"So now we should figure out why the movie universe went wrong, right?"

Lingxian thus gained a certain degree of initiative.

Kevin immediately asked, "What's wrong with the cinematic universe?"

Lingxian waved his hand, transmitting the image into his consciousness.

"Is this... an Eastern myth?" Kevin was shocked. "How could something like this appear in the movie universe?"

When filming "Doctor Strange", it was he who decided to find a bald female nun. Afterwards, he hypocritically apologized to the Chinese audience and said he was sorry to the Chinese fans.

What else can the sheepdogs do?

Dad has already apologized, so of course I choose to forgive him!

"Go, gather all the editors in the editorial department and the scriptwriting department, and review them one by one!"

Kevin turned to Jonathan and gave the order, his face serious.

"Everyone must be checked out and passed one by one!"

"Especially investigate the Chinese employees. If it was really the employees who caused the incident, it was most likely them."

Now it will not only affect the Marvel Cinematic Universe's ability to make money, but will also affect their chances of gaining superpowers and even immortality!

"Keep it secret!" Kevin finally gave Jonathan a meaningful look.

Jonathan was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Currently, only the two of them have discovered this matter. Only a fool would choose to make it public. Even if they want to make it public, they have to wait until they possess supreme super powers.

Not only can they achieve immortality, they also have the chance to become the king of the world!

Disney is shit!

Can Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck jump out?

Even if it jumps out, can it make people live forever?

Chapter 407: What is the means by which Marvel Editors created all things?

In the "real world", the sudden investigation launched by Marvel executives left employees confused.

They are an entertainment company, and in the past the investigations they were most involved in were tax issues, which had to be handled by the IRS.

This time they suddenly want to check value identification and cultural preferences... What the hell! Isn't this the kind of thing that only authoritarian governments like to do?

Although other company executives expressed doubts about the matter, Kevin Feige, the president, and Jonathan Hickman, the editor-in-chief in charge of content creation, pushed it hard, and the focus of the investigation was on Jonathan's editorial department. Other departments were just following the process and there was no need to offend the president.

After all, he is very popular and has been recognized by Disney. Such a small thing alone cannot shake his position.

In the editorial department, all editors have to pass the review, especially Asian editors, let alone Chinese editors.

In the past decade or so, with the development of China's economy, China has surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest box office. All Hollywood film companies are trying to get a piece of the pie. Not only have they inserted a large number of Chinese elements and invited Chinese actors into their films, but they have also introduced many Chinese people to behind-the-scenes jobs such as writing, directing, photography, and editing.

It is a pity and inevitable that the Americans cannot change their arrogance and prejudice. The inserted Chinese elements are ambiguous. Even though the Chinese actors have a large proportion of roles, they are somewhat like "clowns". Through the clown-like plot settings, they let European and American audiences feel satisfied and vent their emotions so that they can continue to maintain their superior pride.

Domestic audiences have gradually come to their senses from the initial excitement of gaining "international recognition". After recognizing the ugly faces of Western countries and even the entire culture against China, they are becoming less and less willing to buy into it.

Especially as the country becomes stronger, the people’s self-confidence grows and they begin to export reverse culture.

But the scale of the second largest voting base is there, so wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to make a lot of money?

This is not in the spirit of capitalism at all!

As a result, big Hollywood companies are recruiting creative consultants or publicity and promotion personnel who truly understand the tastes of the Chinese people, and some are even directly hiring Chinese people to be directors.

They try to find a balance between the grand strategy of cultural export and box office revenue.

A number of good works have been created in this regard, reaping a large amount of box office revenue from the Chinese market.

Marvel Studios’ previous “Avengers series” is a typical example of money-making and cultural output.

Therefore, in the past decade or so, there have been quite a few Asian and even Chinese employees in Marvel. Some of them are immigrants who have lived in the United States since childhood, and some are simply top students who have just graduated from China.

These top students believe that they have caught up with a good era. Looking back to thirty or forty years ago, no matter how talented their predecessors were, no matter how prestigious jobs they held in China, they had to start by washing dishes after arriving in America. Unlike them, they could enter big companies as soon as they arrived, and they could brag loudly when their parents came home during the Chinese New Year, attracting envy.

Lin Hao had similar experience when he applied for a job at Marvel before.

So the artificial clone he left behind naturally attracted the focus of attention.

"Mr. Wang, you have been working in the company for three and a half years, but you have never been home. The records show that you have family in China..."

The investigation launched by Marvel was jointly led by a headhunting company and a security company hired by Kevin Feige from outside.

There is one good or bad thing about the United States: government employees can work for private companies after they retire and are out of the confidentiality period.

Especially after senior executives of powerful departments like the CIA and FBI retire, many companies will rush to hire them at high prices to be responsible for their own company's security or internal affairs review.

The same goes for tax officials at the IRS. After graduation, they either join large companies or set up their own accounting firms. In any case, they will never lack money to make.

If it weren't for the fact that the nine highest judges of the federal court have lifetime tenure, there would be more companies scrambling for them.

Among the professionals Kevin Feige recruited this time are senior executives who have worked in the CIA for many years and are best at interrogation and intelligence analysis.

Now that we realize the enormous value that the movie universe and the characters within it can bring, what does this cost matter?

What he cares most about now is to find out the source of the problem.

"Uh...I have video calls with my family every day...every day."

Lin Hao's artificial clone maintained his usual personality, shy and socially anxious, dodging the other party's pressing gaze.

After the "Li Dai Tao Jiang" plan was completed, the artificial clone that Lin Hao deliberately left behind only served the purpose of "occupying the position" and maintaining his identity as an editor.

So three and a half years later, his position was only promoted from editorial assistant to an ordinary editor qualified to write and draw. Similar editors are common in any large animation creation company.
