Chapter 514 I'm Just a Story Writer

New York, Manhattan, Ke Wen came to this city after returning from Gotham for two days, and stood at the door of the building named "Amazing" comics company in front of him.Whether in the DC world or the Marvel world, as the two giants of American comics, the two big brothers who have loved and killed each other for nearly a century, their relationship with each other is much better than what we know.Support each other through the most difficult times, and learn from each other to create their own superheroes. The most interesting thing is that they will slightly change each other's company logos and put them into their comics. Linkage.

For example, in the Marvel world, there will be a comic giant called DG Company, who will extend the works with Ye Xiao and Hyperion as the two leading stars. In fact, it is the DC editorial department and Batman and Superman who have changed their vests. In the DC world, they use Marvel's former name Surprise as a proxy for interaction.At this time, Ke Wen was standing at the door of Marvel Comics, holding a released Spider-Man comic magazine and a thick stack of manuscripts in his hand. Among them, the publication time of the Spider-Man comic magazine was two years ago , Ke Wen compared its time with the time when he came to this world, and then found that this comic was not long after he completed the task issued by the system in Amnesty Bay City at that time, and it was also there, Ke Wen Wen runs into someone he shouldn't have known in this world.

When he came here, Ke Wen wanted to confirm his conjecture more, and took a deep breath for himself. Then Ke Wen walked into the gate of this Marvel comics company, and said to the staff in charge of the front desk: "Hello! , I would like to know the office of your editor-in-chief and director of the company, Stanley Leiber, oh, that is, which office is Mr. Stan Lee. I have contacted you before and have an appointment. I need to talk to him about the capital injection. "

Before coming, Ke Wen also did enough homework. In fact, not long after Spider-Man comics appeared, Ke Wen also noticed the existence of Marvel Comics in this world.It's just different from the real-world Marvel comics company I'm in.The Marvel comics company I know almost declared bankruptcy before it turned around. The copyright of his son Spider-Man was sold, and the X-Men were also packaged and sent away. Finally, relying on the second-line hero Iron Man The actor and the determination to put all his eggs in one basket made a successful turnaround. In the superhero movie of comics, he successfully became the leader, overwhelming DC.

In the world I live in, there is a comic company that Marvel used to be named Marvel, but it is a small and medium-sized enterprise that is still in the development stage. It also draws superhero comics, but the problem is that the superhero itself is by your side. The superheroes I draw can basically find blueprints in the superheroes I know.Then the question comes, as a superhero fan, can you accept that the characters in the comics you read are more attractive than real superheroes?Obviously not, but superhero comics that are not dragging and don't have their own characteristics don't seem to have much feeling, just like chicken ribs.

Therefore, this Marvel comics company is also maintained at a tepid stage, and this launch, almost purely original Spider-Man comics also injected a boost to this Marvel comics company at a critical moment.An almost original superhero, coupled with not starting from the stereotyped perspective of saving the world, but focusing on his growth and troubles as a teenager after gaining abilities, made the public feel refreshed, and the first issue was almost out of stock The Spider-Man comics brought enthusiasm to the Marvel company.

And as a small and medium-sized comic company, they also understand that the most important thing now is to continue to create on this well-established foundation, to expand themselves with new characters and new stories, and these require enough money, time and manpower. And these are what Marvel Comics lacks most now. Even with the original character of Spider-Man as a base, it is the reason why Ke Wen came here.

In the editor-in-chief's office of Marvel Comics, a hale and grey-haired old man is sitting on his chair, looking at the drawing board in front of him. On it is a sample draft of Spider-Man, storyboards, and story blueprints about his own creation. It's just that he is temporarily stuck in a bottleneck, and he needs more original heroes to interact with the character of Spider-Man.

The rhythmic knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and the secretary in charge of the reception led Ke Wen in. "Editor-in-Chief, I'm sorry to interrupt your creation, but this Mr. Kevin Ke has made an appointment with you before. I think you can talk to him about the capital injection."

"Of course, I'm very happy." When he saw Ke Wen behind the secretary, the old man who was familiar with Ke Wen but also unfamiliar with him also smiled and greeted Ke Wen enthusiastically.

Seeing the enthusiasm of his boss, the secretary also left very interestingly, leaving space for the old and the young.And Ke Wen also looked at this somewhat disorganized office, looked at the drawings of Spider-Man hanging on it one by one, and felt a little emotional. It turned out that this is the place where Spider-Man was born. Everything came from a meeting between himself and this old man. .

"Why, is this the first time you've seen a cartoonist's studio?" The old man didn't feel offended by Ke Wen's curiosity about his studio when he came in, but asked with interest.

"It's about the same. It's a bit different from what I imagined, but it also fits the style of a cartoonist. So, what should I call you, Stan Lee? Or OAA (One Above All)?"

Looking at the old man in front of him, it was difficult for Ke Wen to connect him with ordinary people, especially after he met Men Yashi.

"Call me Stan Lee, OAA doesn't have much to do with me, you can equate OAA with the supreme god of this world, but I'm not OAA, I'm just an old man with shared memories from other universes , by the way, in an alternate reality, I've died at the age of 96."

"Really?" Ke Wen was not too surprised by what the old man said. After all, the old man he knew was much older than the one in front of him, and the one in front of him was at most 60 years old. You have lived for almost a century, so it is normal to die.But in this way, Ke Wen also had a question in his mind, "Since you can share your own memory with other universes, why don't you use the memory of other universes to expand your company?"

"Oh, child, you have stumped me. As I told you, I just have the memory of other universes, which doesn't mean I have the ability to bear it. I am now a 65-year-old man. All the memories of the universe are shared, so I can't guarantee whether I will be alive at the moment of receiving it. Besides, I don't have any supernatural powers, and I can't make any changes to this world. Don't you think that the future that knows everything? Isn’t it interesting? I’m just an old man who writes stories. For me, how to write a story that children like is more interesting than being a sage who knows everything, right? ?”

"It's not unreasonable, so this Spider-Man comic..." Ke Wen also picked up the Spider-Man comic in his hand. If the memory is shared, then this Spider-Man comic shouldn't appear so late.

"Oh, you said this, I remember, after I came into contact with you, I also shared memory with one of them in my sleep, you gave me inspiration, and I from another universe gave me an image, so, he , was born. Well, I have finished answering your question, so what is the purpose of your coming, it is time to answer me."

After getting the answer he wanted, Ke Wen also handed the stack of manuscripts under the Spider-Man comic magazine to the old man. On the top of the manuscript was an image, a Chinese boy holding a book and A European and American cool guy wearing a black hat and jacket stands back to back, and as the background is a windmill tower, and at the end is the name - Kamen Rider W, the two-in-one Detective Fengdu!

After seeing this picture, the old man was also attracted to it, directly picked up the blueprint of the story, and started to read it there. As a cartoonist, he began to be attracted by the storyline in the blueprint, and Regarding the character settings inside, putting on reading glasses, the old man began to read one by one, ignoring Ke Wen who was sitting in front of him.

Time passed little by little in this way, from the morning sun rising to the setting sun, during this period, Ke Wen also sat in the office with the old man, the old man looked at the blueprint of the story he gave, and he watched The old man has created a sketch of Spider-Man in the past two years, and he will occasionally pour a cup of coffee for the old man, and then continue to maintain this harmony until the old man has finished reading the blueprint of the story.

"Phew, this is really a pretty good story, but it looks like it hasn't been finished yet?" The old man who finished reading it all at once came back to his senses, looked at the sunset that had begun to set outside the window, and then understood his own story. It's been almost a day since he watched it, but at this time he didn't care about the passage of time at all, but said to Ke Wen who was sitting in front of him.

"How can it be finished? The story of Kamen Rider, as long as there are humans in the world, then Kamen Rider will be passed down from generation to generation in people's memory. This is the story I want to show you. I hope you , can help me turn these stories into comics and print them out. You don’t need to worry about time, money, and manpower. You can even make live-action TV and animation. Of course, I prefer to do live-action TV, and I can do it at that time You don’t need to worry about the movie, money, I just need you to promote the meaning of Kamen Rider, and I believe you can do it.”

"What's the point?"

"Love and peace, freedom, and justice are the core of Kamen Rider." Ke Wen looked directly into the old man's glasses and said seriously.

"Great meaning, if you contribute here, then it's not a big problem for me, and, from your point of view, it seems that you have prepared more than one Kamen Rider story blueprint, many?"

"Well, there are 34 so far, and some of them are still being perfected. Of course, you can also mobilize your editorial team to help me improve. What I provide is just a structure, but the story is always created by ourselves. As for The original story, I am a Kamen Rider myself, there are too many stories in my life.”

"Yes, I will ask the secretary to draft a contract and send it to you. If possible, I will call the editorial department for a meeting in three days. You also need to be present."

"In three days? Well, yes, it's not a big problem. Then, I will thank you and see you in three days."

After getting a definite answer from the old man, Ke Wen didn't stay any longer. He was fine, but the old man is already at this age, so it's not good to continue to make him work overtime.

"Can I ask you a question?" Just as Ke Wen opened the door and was about to leave, the old man suddenly stopped him and asked.

"Please speak."

"Why do you do this? You have to know that once these stories are really turned into comics and released, and at the same time cause a new trend in the market, as Kamen Rider itself, your enemies can easily learn from these stories. After all, we draw comics, and sometimes we have to publish a set, which is the character's ability setting, which is not good news for you."

The old man is very clear about the meaning of the blueprint of this story. The story comes from life and is higher than life.And Ke Wen in front of him is the blueprint of the Kamen Rider story itself. He should be aware of this problem, so he is very puzzled.

"It turns out that this is what you are worried about. As you said, it is true that many of these stories come from me, but if my enemies want to target me based on the settings in these comics, it can only mean that He really has a bad brain, Kamen Rider has never been shown by setting abilities, what he needs is here.” Pointing to the position of his heart, Ke Wen said, “As for why, it’s like As you said, you are a person who writes stories, and I am a person who likes to share stories. The story of Kamen Rider, I think, needs to be known and recognized by more people. This is why I am here The reason, then, Ciao~ old man."

　Regarding the 34 knights in the previous chapter, there are fifteen knights in Showa and twenty knights in Heisei.
