Stark Industries Wants to Discuss a Partnership?

In Li Chen's previous life on Earth, Game of Thrones was produced by the famous HBO, a notorious tyrannical television network.

Their dramas are known for their explicit content and violent, bloody scenes.

But that's exactly what the audience likes; who doesn't enjoy a little bit of risqué humor?

That's why their viewership ratings have always been very high.

Harry Sloan nodded, indicating that he understood.

He then went to work, and the rights to "A Song of Ice and Fire" remained unsold because the offers were not satisfactory to Martin.

It's easy to buy the copyright if you offer a satisfactory price.

Moreover, this time it involved three parties.

Upon learning the news, Paramount and Lionsgate immediately began internal discussions.

Hollywood moguls typically have an eight-person committee within their organization.

Normally, a project involves a vote by seven people, with the majority usually prevailing. However, the eighth person has the final say and can present their ideas to the board of directors.

A Song of Ice and Fire was indeed a good project, so Paramount quickly approved it and sent people to Starlight Pictures to contact author George R. R. Martin.

Lionsgate doesn't have that much trouble; they're much faster.

Lionsgate can't compare to Paramount and MGM; it's just a second-tier film company, and it can only ever be a second-tier one.

Hollywood giants will absolutely not allow any new giants to emerge.

DreamWorks was initially besieged by Hollywood giants and ultimately left the scene in disgrace.

Those who already have the ticket to enter will naturally try to block the door.

This is also why Li Chen decided to acquire the giant; becoming a giant directly is much easier than Re:Zero.

Subsequently, the teams from the three companies became involved in copyright negotiations.

The new television station was even faster.

America has plenty of TV stations that can't keep going.

Because most TV stations require payment to watch, unlike China, where you can simply switch channels to watch whichever you want.

This means that most households don't actually subscribe to multiple pay-TV programs.

I'll only watch one or two channels at most, that'll be enough.

It is precisely because of this fee system that many small TV stations have extremely low viewership.

Harry Sloan and his team didn't care about the previous traffic; they simply acquired a company and started renovating it.

The new television station was officially named Starlight Television.

Paramount was initially reluctant, but after considering the opportunity to gain traffic, they agreed.

Because the new TV station's primary focus was on the Pirate King anime.

To let the audience know what's being broadcast, they naturally need to know that it's a television station run by Starlight Pictures.

Starlight Pictures already has a fairly good reputation.

Therefore, they didn't say much about the name.

What they didn't know was that within Starlight Pictures, Pirate King Piece wasn't their main focus.

Pirate King is already a hit; as long as the animation quality isn't bad, it will have achieved its goal.

The film we really want to promote is Rick and Morty.

The company then focused on pushing these things forward.

Even the White Queen was somewhat afraid of Li Chen at the Hellfire Club.

Li Chen came almost every day during this period, and would only leave after he had his fill.

He had his fun, but the White Queen was afraid.

Li Chen is a beast, too fierce.

And sometimes she even has to transform into a diamond form...

"It won't work."

The White Queen refused Li Chen's offer today, saying, "I'll have them come and keep you company."

She clapped her hands, and several blond figures immediately filed in.

They all wore custom-made white dresses inspired by the Emma Frost Vers, and the five of them looked almost identical.

They are the Stepford Cuckoos.

"Li, all five of them are yours now."

The White Queen pushed them towards her and then ran away.

I really need to rest, otherwise the skin will start to break.

"This was originally mine."

Li Chen shook his head; he just hadn't had time to think about it.

Moreover, there were too many of them, and Li Chen was ultimately a little scared.

But now, it's time to see your limits.

"Are you Celeste?"

Li Chen casually pulled one over and asked.

"I am Esme, Your Majesty."

Esme smiled.

They look exactly alike, it's really hard to tell them apart.

Li Chen wasn't embarrassed. Instead, he asked, "Good girls, how can I tell you apart?"

"Let me see what's different?"

"Come on, drag it all out."

Li Chen said seriously.

The five sisters were not shy at all, and immediately obeyed, their white dresses slipping off their bodies.

Li Chen then began to make a serious comparison.

"There's a mole here, who are you?"

"I'm Phoebe."

Phoebe looked shy.

"Very good, I'll remember you."

"Wow, how did you manage to make them all the same size?"

Li Chen couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly advanced cloning technology truly was.

Aside from slight differences, most people simply cannot tell the difference.

Only someone with Li Chen's meticulous observation skills could discern even the slightest difference.

"By the way, I've always been curious, are all five of you connected in your senses?"

Li Chen asked.

Mindee was standing on the far side, spoke up, "It's only like this when using your abilities; it feels different normally."

They can connect Mind Stone sensing, and the more of them there are, the more powerful they become.

So Li Chen asked curiously, "When I touch Phoebe, do you feel anything?"

This answer doesn't need to be given, because all five sisters blushed at the same time.

Hiss!

"That's interesting!"

Li Chen immediately became interested.

Taking down just one is equivalent to taking down five at once—a super multiplier!

With that kind of ability, even dozens more wouldn't be a match for him.

"At last night's New York technology expo, a robot suddenly went out of control, but thankfully Iron Man Tony Stark came to the rescue..."

Li Chen sat in his office watching the news.

"Time flies, the plot of Iron Man 2 is already over."

Since Li Chen was in Los Angeles and Tony Stark was in New York, they didn't have much interaction.

Of course, Li Chen wasn't interested in Tony Stark either; he wasn't a beauty.

Even if she is a beautiful woman, her personality is just too awful.

Just like the gender-swapped Malfoy that was so popular in Li Chen's previous life... just thinking about it makes me a little nervous.

However, Li Chen also knew that the world would change more and more dramatically.

But instead of going to Tony Stark, Tony called him.

"Lee, it's a call from Stark Industries."

Lorna Dane told Li Chen the news.

"Transfer me in."

The call was quickly transferred to me.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Mr. Stark's assistant. You can call me Pepper."

Pepper Potts's voice was very enthusiastic.

Although she is very capable and competent, she is not Li Chen's type.

"Hello, Miss Pepper, is there anything I can help you with?"

"That's right, Stark Industries wants to collaborate with your Starlight Pictures."

Pepper Potts spoke up.

"Cooperation? Cooperate on what?"

Li Chen said with great interest.

Starlight Pictures is a film and television company, while Stark Industries was previously an arms dealer. What kind of cooperation could they possibly have?

Are you suggesting we bring in Nicolas Cage to star in Lord of War?
