Was He Leaving His Humanity Behind?

After its release, Iron Man began breaking records one after another.

It's even more exaggerated than Avatar, which was released last year.

Avatar broke Titanic's box office record in just six weeks after its release, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time.

Now, its box office has reached over two billion US dollars worldwide, shocking the world.

That's why there are now many so-called 3D IMAX movies.

Some movies are clearly not 3D movies, but they put on a 3D facade and then sell for astronomical box office prices.

For example, when "Alice in Wonderland" was being filmed, it wasn't a 3D movie. Then, after "Avatar" became a hit, they immediately used post-production to turn the movie into pseudo-3D.

It actually made money.

Viewers simply cannot distinguish between 3D movies and pseudo-3D movies.

Wearing 3D glasses, it actually felt quite immersive...

Starting this year, a large number of 3D film projects have been approved.

Starlight Pictures naturally jumped on the bandwagon, using IMAX cameras for both "Batman 2" and "Superman 2" this year.

Making money isn't something to be ashamed of.

Unfortunately, Iron Man missed out on this wave of popularity, otherwise it would have earned even more.

IMAX movie tickets are generally several times more expensive than regular 2D movie tickets.

Given the popularity of Iron Man, I can't even imagine how outrageous the box office would be if it were a 3D movie.

Even so, the film continued its meteoric rise.

First, it broke the record for opening weekend box office, exceeding 200 million.

In contrast, Avatar's opening weekend box office was not high, but it held the Champion at the box office for seven consecutive weeks, demonstrating remarkable staying power.

That's the case with truck driver movies. When "Titanic" was released, its box office wasn't high either. Back then, executives at 20th Century Fox even considered jumping into the sea with the truck drivers.

However, Titanic's box office performance remained stable afterward, eventually setting a record.

The same is true for Avatar; its box office performance has been remarkably stable.

It is very different from ordinary commercial films.

For most movies, the drop in price is at least 50% or more in the second week of release.

Due to current strategies, most viewers will flock to cinemas to watch movies at the beginning.

And those things you don't want to watch, you'll never watch anyway.

However, Iron Man broke this pattern.

Because movie tickets are so hard to get, many people wait until others have finished watching before choosing to go to the cinema themselves.

Therefore, the box office trend remained largely unchanged.

The box office was over 27 million on Monday of the second week, and it rose to over 30 million on Tuesday because it was the traditional half-price day in North America.

After that, everything remained very stable.

Within two weeks of its release, "Iron Man" grossed over $400 million in North America and over $1 billion worldwide.

"Insane, absolutely insane."

Starlight Pictures hosted a party over the weekend to celebrate the success of "Iron Man".

Li Chen was also struck by the absurdity of this data.

The box office of Iron Man on Earth in its previous life was only around three or four hundred million.

He originally thought that in the Marvel Universe, the box office would be at most a billion dollars.

However, he underestimated Tony Stark's fame.

As long as the quality of the Iron Man movie is up to par, there's no need to worry about a lack of viewers.

Li Chen opened the system and was even more shocked.

[Iron Man breaks opening weekend record, earning +20,000 reputation points]

[Iron Man becomes the fastest movie to reach $1 billion at the box office, earning +50,000 reputation points]

[Iron Man continues its box office success...]

[Current Reputation Value: 250,000]

"Exaggerate."

Li Chen recently spent all his reputation points on "Lucy" and now he has over 200,000.

And it's growing rapidly.

It won't be long before it reaches 300,000 or 400,000.

This gave Li Chen a taste of what it's like to have online traffic.

No wonder all the pigeons in their past lives wanted to be traffic stars; they didn't care about their works at all, as long as people bought into them.

So this is what it feels like to have internet traffic.

This still shows that Li Chen underestimated the popularity of superheroes in this world.

This is just Iron Man...

What if it were Captain America Steve Rogers?

Li Chen hadn't cared about this before, but now, remembering what he'd said at the meeting, he was filled with great enthusiasm.

Captain America, Steve Rogers, is a superhero who has been promoted in the America for decades, America's 'Captain'.

How popular is this?

If they cast him in the role, it would completely blow away any other Captain America movie produced by other companies.

That's right, Captain America movies have been made for decades and have consistently been very successful at the box office, comparable to the Spider-Man series from Earth in its previous life.

Even so, Li Chen felt that it hadn't reached its limit yet.

Because these Captain America movies all feature Hollywood actors, not Captain America himself.

"Since things have come to this, let's start with the lottery."

Li Chen decided to have Natasha contact Captain America.

Even if there's no chance now, there will be a chance after S.H.I.E.L.D.. is gone!

[Do you wish to use 100,000 reputation points for a 10-pull?]

"Yes!"

Li Chen didn't hesitate and was very much looking forward to what he would draw.

The 100,000 reputation points were quickly depleted.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won one bag of CPH4 through the lottery.]

[...]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Empress Summoning Fragment *1 through the lottery!]

The Empress already has four fragments, almost half of her.

Li Chen was really looking forward to it, because Empress hadn't even appeared in the Pirate King manga yet...

The lottery system has already proven that anything from that 'world' has a chance of being drawn.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won the complete Nano Armor Technology through the lottery.]

"Um?"

Li Chen was startled, then overjoyed.

Nano Suit?

The image of Tony Stark, Iron Man, simply tapping the reactor twice in Avengers: Avengers: Endgame, instantly appeared in his mind, showing how his Nano Suit covered his entire body.

The Nano Suit could withstand several blows from Thanos.

Moreover, it has very powerful properties; for example, if it is broken in some places, the nanoparticles can quickly repair it.

The only drawback is that the number of nanoparticles is finite, not 'infinite'.

This is normal; after all, it falls under the realm of technology, not a cheat code.

Now, the complete technology is in Li Chen's hands.

He longed to say something like Doctor Octopus: "The power of the sun is in my hands."

But this also put Li Chen in a dilemma... he wasn't a scientist.

"Got it."

Li Chen quickly came up with a plan.

Although his original intention was to directly extract the finished Iron Man Armor, he didn't expect it to turn into technology, but it's still not a loss.

"Keep drawing!"

Li Chen felt he was lucky.

But what I got after that were Summoning shards and CPH4.

He chose to use it directly, and his brain development level immediately reached 35%.

When his brain reached 30%, Li Chen's abilities were further enhanced, and he was able to control his body at will.

For example, changing the color of one's hair, or having more fingers.

His body can change anything he can think of.

"Is this some kind of inhuman behavior?"
