With the immense popularity of "Captain America," Brian and Ivy's fame has grown significantly.
Those mutants who knew the two men were extremely envious of them.
Other mutants could only hide and wander around, evading capture by those underground forces.
But Brian and Ivy are able to appear in public openly, even starring in movies and becoming stars, living a life that other mutants can only dream of.
Therefore, some mutants contacted Brian, hoping to join Payne Films through his connections.
“Bring them to Payne Manor first. I’ll talk to them and then decide whether to sign them.”
Mark gave the instructions to Brian.
Mark naturally welcomes any mutant who wants to join Payne's Group.
As his own strength grew, he became more confident in protecting the safety of these mutants.
Of course, this is on the premise that the other party is not the kind of mutant villain who commits evil deeds everywhere.
Half an hour later, Brian drove the two mutants into a reception room at the manor.
These are two underage boys, both around fifteen or sixteen years old, who appear to be of Irish descent.
"Mr. Payne!"
Upon seeing Mark, the two mutant teenagers following behind Brian immediately greeted him respectfully, showing no disrespect despite Mark's young age.
Before they arrived, Brian had advised them that if they wanted to join Payne Films, they needed Mark's approval.
Moreover, Mark himself is a very powerful mutant.
Mark turned to look at Lina beside him, and after seeing Lina nod slightly, he asked the two mutant teenagers, "Please introduce yourselves first!"
Lina could see the colors of the two boys' spirits, and her nod meant that the two boys in front of her were not of bad character, at least not the kind of evil mutant villains.
“Mr. Payne, I am Leo Marshall.”
“I am Luca Barnes.”
The two boys spoke one after the other, explaining their situation to Mark.
Both of them are from the UK.
Leo's ability is to transform into a half-human, half-fish state, and to control some fish in the water.
After he awakened his mutant abilities, his family thought he had contracted a strange disease and sent him to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, the hospital was only pretending to treat him, but in reality, they were using him as an experimental subject, drawing blood for tests and extracting body tissue every day. Unable to bear it any longer, Leo escaped from the hospital.
Not wanting to face the strange looks from his family, he swam all the way to the United States across the ocean.
Luca's mutant ability is that he can transform into a bear-man.
His fate was even worse. After awakening his mutant abilities, he was kicked out of his home by his family as a monster, and then he traveled all the way to the United States by smuggling.
After listening to their stories, Mark had Lina bring out two contracts and hand them to them.
"You can join Payne Film Company, but you will be interns for the time being. Only after passing the evaluation can you become full-time employees."
Mark said to the two of them.
"Thank you, boss!"
Leo and Luca happily accepted the contract and signed their names.
Since arriving in the United States, their lives have been precarious, with them constantly facing the threat of being arrested by underground forces.
Now that they've joined Payne Films, they've essentially found a backer and an organization, and they're naturally incredibly grateful to Mark for taking them in.
After the contract was signed, Mark had Brian take them out.
"Now that there are more and more mutants and superhumans in the group, I have decided to set up a department to manage superhumans. From now on, this department will be specifically assigned to you."
Mark looked at Lina beside him and said.
He plans to make more movies about mutants so that the public can gradually accept their existence and stop seeing them as monsters.
Once these movies are released, there will definitely be more mutants wanting to join Payne's Group.
Mark didn't have time to investigate each of these people individually, so it was essential to establish a department specifically to manage these superpowered individuals.
"Ah, me?"
Lina looked surprised, not expecting Mark to entrust her with the management of such an important department.
Chapter 139 Establishing Hierarchies
"You've managed Payne Manor very well during this time; you do have a talent for management! And I'll assemble a team to help you manage it in the future, so you don't need to worry."
Mark encouraged Lina.
Lina's extraordinary abilities allow her to see through good and evil; with her in charge, it's possible to prevent those evil superhumans from infiltrating.
"Okay then!"
After hesitating for a moment, Lina finally nodded in agreement.
Mark then called Li Qianhuan over and asked her to be Lina's assistant.
As for other managers, Mark plans to recruit from among them when he has more superhumans under his command; there are no suitable candidates at the moment.
After all, it is a department that manages superhumans, so the management must also employ superhumans; otherwise, there will inevitably be a rift between the two sides, and the superhumans below will not be convinced.
"Your first task is to create a unified file for all the superpowered individuals under the group."
Mark gave instructions to Lina and Li Qianhuan.
"But how do we create this file?"
Lina was a little embarrassed, as this was her first time doing this kind of work.
"First, write their names, genders, ages, contributions to the group, and past experiences into their files. Of course, the most important thing is their superpowers."
"I divided all superpowered individuals into five levels based on their potential..."
Mark taught the two how to create files for these extraordinary individuals.
According to Mark's classification, Level 1 superhumans are those with the weakest combat power and the least potential for superpowers. They are similar to ordinary people, or only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Level 2 superhumans have useful abilities, but limited potential. They are vulnerable to firearms and other heat weapons, and their abilities have obvious weaknesses that make them easy to counter.
Level 3 superhumans are incredibly powerful, able to ignore most threats from firearms, and can single-handedly take on a modern army.
Level 4 superhumans are even more terrifying; conventional weapons are ineffective against them, and a single individual can destroy a city.
A Level 5 superhuman can destroy a country single-handedly, cannot be killed by nuclear weapons, and can pose a huge threat to all of humanity.
Like Lina, although her superpowers do not provide combat ability, Mark still classified her as a Level 3 superhuman based on the rarity, practicality, and future potential of her abilities.
Li Qianhuan's plasma temperature can be continuously increased, showing great potential. Mark temporarily classifies her as a Level 4 superhuman.
These levels are not static; they are constantly adjusted as the opponent's strength changes.
After explaining these things, Mark let Lina and Li Qianhuan leave.
"Now that Captain America is a huge success, Payne Films has established a strong reputation and can start preparing to make movies that truly feature mutants as the main characters. This is the only way to influence the public's perception of mutants."
Mark thought to himself.
The future Marvel universe is fraught with crises, and if these mutants can be united, they can better cope with these crises.
Moreover, no matter how strong Mark is, he is still just one person.
In the future, with such a group of mutants under his command who have enormous influence, he will have a greater voice in the world.
"But, who should we film first, with whom as the protagonist?"
Mark quickly reviewed the abilities of all the mutants under his command and made a decision: "This time, we'll shoot two movies simultaneously, one starring Brian and the other starring Ivy."
The two have already gained some fame, and filming two movies with them as the main characters will have an even greater impact.
"Brian's ability is to manipulate the wind, while Ivy's ability is to manipulate emotions..."
Before his time travel, Mark had read many superhero comics and watched many movies. He quickly chose two blockbuster movies and, with Alice's help, created a script.
Mark altered the protagonist's abilities and background in the film to make the character more fitting for Brian and Ivy.
After the scripts were completed, Mark named them "Windwalker" and "Hearttalker" respectively, and then sent them to Archer, president of Payne Films.
"Archer, I've sent you the script for the new movie. Have the people at the company prepare it and get the project approved as soon as possible."
Mark dialed Archer's number and gave him instructions.
"Oh, boss, are we going to start filming two movies at the same time?"
Archer was somewhat surprised when he saw the script Mark sent him.
“Yes! Each film is expected to cost $5000 million. You release the news first and see if anyone is willing to invest. If no one invests, then we will use the group's money to make the film.”
"If the crew is short-staffed, we should start recruiting now."
Mark made the arrangements.
With the success of "Captain America" as a foundation, Mark is confident that a film company will be willing to invest in their new movie.
"Okay, boss, I'll start preparing now."
Although Archer felt the pressure, he immediately agreed.
As Captain America continued its run in theaters, Archer also released the news that Payne Films was preparing to shoot two movies simultaneously.
Some people think that Payne Films has become arrogant, thinking that just because they made a "Captain America" movie, all their future movies will be profitable?
They've taken such a big step this time, they might very well stumble.
However, some film companies recognized Payne Films' strength through "Captain America" and decided to invest in their new film project.
Just as Payne Films was preparing to shoot a new movie, Killian called Mark.
"Boss, the hospital has prepared wards, medical staff, and all kinds of medical equipment, and can now admit terminally ill patients on a large scale. After discussions within the company, we have reduced the treatment cost to $50. What do you think?"
Killian briefed Mark on his recent work.
Although Mark has delivered the keel for some time, the hospital still needs to make various preparations before it can begin admitting patients on a large scale.
"This price is acceptable. Let's release the news now in the name of Future Pharma!"
Mark gave the instructions to Killian.
Patients with terminal illnesses outside the industry are going crazy with worry. In their desperation, they are capable of anything. The pharmaceutical industry is under tremendous pressure recently.
"Good boss!"
After agreeing, Killian asked Mark, "Another man named Jonah Irwin has come to our company, saying he wants to supervise our use of the keel. What do you think we should do?"
"Let him supervise if he wants, as long as he doesn't leak company secrets and the ultimate formula."
Mark knew that the other party was sent by Olsen, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Anyway, the dragon bones he obtained this time were all for treating terminally ill patients, so he wasn't afraid of being monitored.
After ending his call with Mark, Killian had the news released that the future hospital would begin admitting patients and that treatment costs would be reduced to $50.
Chapter 140 Trask's Re-operation
The news caused a stir throughout the entire Federation the moment it was released.
"Great! Future Medicine is finally starting to treat terminally ill patients again!"
"The cost has been reduced to $50? My illness can be cured!"
"..."
The news released by Future Medicine has finally given terminally ill patients hope for survival.
In particular, the future medicine has reduced the treatment cost from $500 million to $50, which is a boon for many terminally ill patients.
Originally, due to the high cost of treatment, Future Medicine had a mixed reputation among the public and was scorned by those who could not afford medical expenses.
However, after the news of the relegation was released, all the voices criticizing Future Pharma disappeared instantly, and public opinion was almost entirely praising Future Pharma.
Ten days later, thousands of terminally ill patients had been admitted to Future Medicine and had begun receiving treatment for the extinction virus.
Future Pharma's revenue in just 10 days has exceeded $5 million, with a profit of $3 million after deducting costs and taxes.
