Thor was not satisfied after leaving the palace.

Although he cannot live without Asgard, others can.

He had many companions!

In particular, the famous Warriors Three are Thor's best friends.

Fandral, Volstagg, and Hogun all fought alongside Thor for many years.

If you need anything, you can't go wrong with them.

But then I thought, it's fine for them to fight, but not so good for anything else.

So Thor went to find Sif, the goddess of war.

"Sif!"

Thor found her at Sif's house and seemed very happy.

Sif, however, remained calm; she was deeply hurt.

She had liked Thor for so long, but Thor had remained indifferent to her. Yet, after spending a few days in Midgard, he suddenly fell in love with a human woman.

This hurt Sif deeply, and her emotions were written all over her face.

However, Thor didn't notice anything amiss and simply asked, "Sif, are you in a bad mood?"

"No, what is it? Speak quickly."

Sif said coldly.

Thor immediately dismissed the matter, saying, "In that case, go and clear your head."

Where to?

Sif looked at Thor in surprise. Was he really that kind?

"Midgard."

Thor coughed, then said seriously.

Sif: "..."

"You're not asking me to deliver love letters or anything, are you?"

Sif said, suppressing her anger.

Jane Foster, that little bitch, is in the Midgard.

Isn't this a constant trampling on her dignity?

No, no, you've misunderstood.

Even if Thor were incredibly foolish, he wouldn't let Sif deliver the message.

"Of course, if you'd like..."

"Roll!"

"I just want something."

Thor began, "I've fallen in love with an animated series in Midgard called Rick and Morty. I wonder how many episodes are airing now. Could you bring me the whole series when you get there?"

Upon hearing that she wasn't going to see Jane Foster, Sif's expression softened.

She still wanted to refuse, but seeing Thor's pleading face, she nodded.

"Alright then, since you're so sincere."

Sif had no choice but to nod.

"That's great! You should pack your things and get ready to go."

Thor said impatiently.

"..."

Sif felt like hitting someone.

[Rick and Morty is currently a wildly popular series; gain +1500 reputation points]

[Bayonetta has sold 500,000 copies and continues to be a bestseller...]

[Rick and Morty...]

How popular is Rick? You can tell just by looking at the system that Li Chen occasionally opens.

It's basically all about the reputation points it brings.

So much so that the popularity of "Bayonetta" pales in comparison.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a national animation in the America.

The jokes and gags in it perfectly hit the weak points of America.

This made them overjoyed.

As the fire raged in America, some Europe television stations also rushed to the scene.

As a global beacon, anything that becomes popular in America will almost always become popular in Europe.

Therefore, Rick and Morty became a hit.

Even in many war-torn areas, there is a group of 'spiritual' America.

They longed for America, believing the moon there was always round, the air smelled sweet, and donuts were absolutely delicious...

They also long to see America entertainment.

It must be said that this kind of cultural victory can be quite useful at times.

At least Li Chen likes it very much now.

Huge sums of US dollars were handed over, all for the exclusive broadcasting rights for a few years.

Most importantly, Rick and Morty isn't a one-season show.

This kind of animation is like a sitcom; you can make as many seasons as you want.

For example, shows like "Friends" and "How I Met Your Mother" can be made indefinitely as long as they're profitable.

Another problem with live-action sitcoms is that the actors age.

However, animation doesn't have this problem; at most, there's some concern about the voice actors.

But at worst, we can replace them, as long as the voice is similar.

The most distinctive voice, of course, belongs to Rick.

But it's not like any one of them is indispensable.

Therefore, it's easy to imagine that Rick and Morty will become a cash cow.

"Boss, we've finally reached an agreement with Stark Industries. Tony Stark asked us when we're going to start filming. I think he's already fallen in love with Los Angeles."

Polaris Lorna Dane arrived at the office and reported the information she had just received to Li Chen.

She was dressed like a sophisticated urban woman, with black stockings and high heels that made her legs look straight, while her green hair added a touch of mystery.

Li Chen glanced at it from head to toe; it was really good.

"Of course, Los Angeles is the City of Angels."

Li Chen began, "New York is too oppressive."

"Call Harry Sloan over; let's discuss this."

"OK."

Lorna Dane nodded.

Shortly after, Harry Sloan came in, and Li Chen asked, "How are the preparations for 'Iron Man' going?"

"The script has been written according to your requirements, boss."

Harry Sloan immediately replied, "The production team is also hiring, but we don't know who to contact for the director yet."

"Why not let Zack Snyder direct it?"

His proposal was rejected by Li Chen.

"No."

Li Chen shook his head and said, "His style isn't suitable. Let's find someone else."

"But Tony Stark said... his driver was very talented."

At this moment, Harry Sloan said with an amused expression.

"Driver?"

Li Chen thought of Happy, Tony's driver.

"Let him give it a try."

Suddenly, Li Chen also became interested.

This made Harry Sloan's smile freeze. Really?

But since both wealthy individuals felt this way, they wouldn't allow him, a professional manager, to object.

Li Chen had considered seeking out someone like James Gunn.

But when it comes to James Gunn's film style, his most famous work is Guardians of the Galaxy.

The ensemble cast of Guardians of the Galaxy is good, but the problems are also obvious: the plot is too weak, and the final villain never has any real presence.

For example, Ronan the Destroyer was actually killed by dancing...

You might find it funny at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll realize there weren't even any special battle effects; it ended abruptly. What was the point?

This is actually disastrous for a film.

This means that the final, satisfying moment never actually arrived.

Moreover, Gunn's movies relied heavily on toilet humor for laughs, which left Li Chen unmoved.

His style is too fixed; he can only shoot comedic films with a high density of jokes.

However, Iron Man is actually a rather serious movie.

There might be some jokes, but the whole thing isn't like that.

And so, the deal with Iron Man was settled. Regardless of whether Tony's driver Happy had the real thing or not, he would have to give it a try first.

If it doesn't work out, we can always replace it.

Anyway, Stark Industries invested in this movie, and they took the lion's share.
