The next morning, Fu Yibai flew to Los Angeles.
After exiting Los Angeles International Airport, he took a taxi directly to Franchise Studios.
"Boss, it's been a long time."
Margaret stood up from behind her desk, wearing a light gray suit jacket. Her hair was shorter than when they last met, and she looked more capable.
"Congratulations, you've cracked the Marvel nut."
Fu Yibai sat down opposite her.
"It's not too difficult to chew."
Margaret shook her head and pushed the first document in front of him.
"This is the final confirmation of the equity structure. Please take a look."
Fu Yibai flipped through the document from beginning to end, and nodded after confirming a few key figures and terms.
Margaret is always a cautious person. She followed the Marvel acquisition project for almost a year, keeping a close eye on every step from the initial contact to the final signing.
"Have the management reshuffles at Marvel Television and Marvel Comics been completed?"
"It's in place."
The new head of the comics division was poached from DC and previously oversaw the core comic book storylines for Batman and Superman.
The television division has been integrated into the franchise's series development system, and we are currently evaluating potential Marvel IPs suitable for adaptation into television series.
When will "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Scarlet Witch" begin production?
"Preparations started a week ago."
Margaret opened the second folder.
"The script was already written by Marvel, and Kevin Feige is very satisfied with its completion."
The main villain in Avengers: Age of Ultron is Ultron. Tony Stark feels a sense of crisis after the Battle of New York and tries to build a global defense system.
Stark and Banner implanted Jarvis's program into the Mind Stone's energy within Loki's scepter, unexpectedly giving birth to Ultron, who possessed independent consciousness.
We are currently in contact with actors to bring them back, and there are no major issues with their schedules for the time being.
"The script for Scarlet Witch is independent and tells the story of Wanda Maximoff, who comes from a family of Gypsy wizards and is born with powerful chaos magic that allows her to alter reality."
She and her twin brother Quicksilver were kidnapped by the Supreme Evolution for experiments, later adopted by Magneto and briefly joined his Brotherhood of Mutants, before eventually reforming and becoming a member of the Avengers.
The timeline is before Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Fu Yibai hummed in agreement.
"How will the schedule be arranged?"
"Scarlet Witch" will be filmed first, with filming expected to begin in April this year and last for three months.
Filming for Avengers: Age of Ultron began in July and will last for four months.
Both films were shot at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, with some location shooting in Italy and South Korea.
Margaret closed the folder and looked up at Fu Yibai.
"Boss, there's one more thing."
Marvel hopes to launch the "Captain America 3" and "Doctor Strange" projects as soon as possible after "Avengers 2".
Kevin Feige sent over a draft plan last week, in which he believes the post-Avengers: Age of Ultron era should use solo films to maintain an emotional connection with the audience, while simultaneously setting the stage for the arrival of a new generation of avengers.
"Let him decide for himself."
I have only one request: don't sacrifice quality for quantity.
"clear."
After leaving the franchise film company, Fu Yibai went to Star Shine Investment.
Chen Zheng was waiting for him in the office, where a freshly compiled annual report was laid out on the table.
Fu Yibai flipped through a few pages. The core data was largely consistent with what he had previously learned. The global equity investment portfolio was showing stable unrealized gains, and the company still had ample liquid funds on hand.
He closed the annual report and pushed it back to Chen Zheng, chatted for a few words, and then left.
As evening fell, Fu Yibai's car drove into Beverly Hills.
As the California twilight receded from the palm treetops, he parked his car in the villa's garage and pushed open the side door to enter the living room.
The living room lights were on.
Scarlett Janssen sat cross-legged on the sofa, a light gray cashmere blanket draped over her legs. On the coffee table in front of her was a steaming cup of black tea and a script that was half-open.
She was wearing a loose, off-white sweater, and her short, golden hair was casually tucked behind her ears. Hearing the noise at the door, she looked up.
"Honey! What brings you here!"
Scarlett jumped up from the sofa in surprise, ran to Fu Yibai, and threw herself into his arms.
I missed you, so I came to keep you company.
Fu Yibai kicked off his shoes, picked up Scarlett, and walked towards the sofa.
"Even though I know you're lying to me, I'm still very happy."
Scarlett gave Fu Yibai a big peck on the lips.
Fu Yibai sat down on the sofa with Scarlett in his arms and looked around the room.
"Where's Annie?"
"I'm filming out of town and won't be back until next month."
Scarlett reached out and touched his chin.
"It's time to shave your beard."
"I just shaved this morning."
"Just shaved? It's growing back so fast."
Have you got a meal yet?"
"Not yet, how about you?"
"Wait for me, I'll make you pasta."
Scarlett stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
On the island in the open kitchen were several paper bags bought from the supermarket, containing pasta, tomatoes, basil leaves, and a piece of Parmesan cheese.
She tied on an apron, gathered her hair back into a small bun, and skillfully added water and salt to the pot.
