Chapter 1532: New York Troubles (Part 2)

Schiller and Peter finished their dinner together in a small clinic in Hell's Kitchen. It was not until it was completely dark that they boarded the shuttle together.

Peter was still a little worried, obviously thinking about how to solve George's problem. Schiller gave him some psychological counseling, but it didn't work.

Spider-Man's moral bottom line is unshakable. He would rather struggle with himself than look for problems in others.

Peter got off the bus at the Queens stop. Schiller stood on the shuttle and waved goodbye to him, watching Peter's back blend into the lights of thousands of homes.

Kind people are destined to face more troubles at every stage of growth, but Spider-Man can always solve his troubles by himself. After all, he is one of the few superheroes in New York who has both moral bottom line and mental health.

Thinking of this, Schiller returned to Arkham Sanatorium, but found that another guest was waiting for him here, that was Eddie Brock, who also brought a lot of manuscripts and materials.

The two sat down in the high-ceilinged reception area on the second floor again. Eddie said straight to the point: "ABC wants to shoot a documentary about the solar system development plan. They contacted Tony Stark, and Tony found me."

Eddie pushed the manuscript in his hand forward and said: "This is the draft plan. You can take a look first."

Schiller picked up the manuscript and saw the name of the project written on the first page - "Sun Chaser".

While searching in his briefcase, Eddie said: "They want to base on the important figures in the solar system development plan, starting from their daily work, to show the general public the true side of the backbone of mankind, trace their growth process, and tell everyone how they walked this road and finally embraced the sun."

Eddie handed over another list, pointed at it and said to Schiller: "This is the list of personnel of the project team. The personnel structure and technology of the project team are very mature. Director Errol Morris has won various documentary awards. The style of interviews, historical materials and restoration performance is also very suitable for this type of subject matter."

"Who are they going to shoot specifically?" Schiller asked.

Eddie sighed softly and said, "You know, they can't make this into a real epic, because no one will watch it. If it's a little entertaining, they have to film controversial characters."

"Tony Stark?"

"He's the bullseye." Eddie nodded, and then said, "Captain America is also on the list, as well as Peter Parker, a rising star in the scientific research community. His background and growth experience are in line with the tone of the American dream. The president wants him."

"Who else?"

"Matt." Eddie pushed his black-framed glasses, took a sip of coffee and said, "A disabled person or a lawyer, the same as Peter Parker, and there must be a black person."

"Don't tell me it's Nick."

"Of course it's impossible. Eric, the vampire hunter, is black and has a bizarre growth experience. Vampires, as mysterious creatures, have their own topics, and he has a good personality and a humorous conversation, which can ease some overly serious atmospheres."

"What about women?" Schiller asked.

"First, let's rule out Natasha, who has made the greatest contribution, because she is from the former Soviet Union, and agents are not suitable for television."

Eddie put his hands on the table, clasped his fingers and said, "There are several candidates now, including Dr. Dora, who previously served the Life Foundation, Jessica, who is now famous among superheroes, and Jean Grey, a teacher at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."

"The characters in documentaries need to have a certain story, which can be not only bizarre life experiences or tortuous growth experiences, but also ideological concepts or the current situation that is still in trouble."

"These candidates are all good." Schiller commented, but Eddie knew that he had more to say, so he just listened quietly.

"The candidates for male heroes proposed before are all good, but I think the essence of documentaries is to reveal stories or characters that the public is not familiar with, rather than following the trend and reshooting stories that have been repeated thousands of times in newspaper headlines."

Eddie sighed deeply and said, "Which director didn't have such a dream when he graduated from college? Just like which news media person didn't want to reveal the truth to the public when he was just starting out?"

"The film must be topical, because only topics and traffic can bring economic benefits and satisfy investors, and only explosive news can bring stock growth. Even if I don't choose economic benefits ten thousand times, I will still I can understand that the people who chose it want to fill their stomachs with it. "

"Then we can slightly change the investment form of this documentary." Schiller waved his finger gently, he looked down at the manuscript on the table and said: "The idea of ​​this project is quite good. We have too many things that need to be announced to the public, but we need to do it step by step and subtly. "

"Instead of making it a biography of a person, it is better to make it a group biography, classify the heroes into different groups, and show their stories from multiple perspectives, such as the Avengers led by Captain America and Iron Man, Matt and his students, the Spider Army with many Spider-Men, the Brotherhood of Mutants and Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and even the Sanctum Sanctorum and Kamar-Taj, or Asgard. "

Eddie opened his eyes slightly, and he said, "But do you know how much investment this requires?"

"So this can't be left to the TV station to shoot, but we have to do it ourselves." Schiller stood up and walked behind Eddie, came to the high railing, stretched out a hand and pressed on Eddie's shoulder and said, "Don't you have a dream of being a director?"

Schiller clearly felt the muscles on Eddie's shoulders stiffen for a moment, he turned around and continued: "Stark Group, SHIELD, and even the entire solar system development plan will help you, you won't have any financial troubles, and even the protagonists of these stories will cooperate with you to restore the performance as much as possible."

"We have so many stories to shoot, so thrilling, so ups and downs, the witnesses of these stories are the best interviewees, they can tell their legendary lives through your lens."

"How did Iron Man go from a playboy to the general manager of the solar system development plan? How did Captain America experience two great times? How did the genius researcher Peter Parker find his place? What is bothering Peter Parker recently? How is Asgard, which used to exist only in the mythical kingdom, troubled by family affairs? "

Schiller felt that Eddie's heartbeat and breathing speed were accelerating. He withdrew his hand, sat down opposite Eddie again, looked at him and said, "I can ensure that the door of any office laboratory or event venue will be open to you during your filming."

"You will have the best filming equipment, the most perfect filming venue, and the best photographers Spider-Man, you can give full play to your talents."

"Of course, I think no good documentary director will refuse to participate in such a documentary, and the production team is destined to go down in history."

Eddie left in a hurry before even drinking half of the water in the cup. It can be seen that he is very excited now, because Venom didn't even come out to make trouble during the conversation. It must be that the dopamine secreted in Eddie's brain has made him full.

At night, when it was time to go to bed, Schiller came to the Dream School through the base of the Glorious Alliance Dream World. Now it has been further expanded, with more students and teachers. As he walked towards his office, students kept greeting him.

Schiller nodded to them, and he came to the bookshelf in his office and began to search. After a while, he said with some doubt: "I remember putting a few notes written by Kamar-Taj wizards here before. Could it be that some students borrowed them last time?"

Schiller shook his head, sighed, left the office and started walking upstairs. He came to Strange's office, but he didn't see him in the office. Only two students were helping him organize the bookshelf.

"Where is Dean Strange?" Schiller asked the two students.

One of the students was a little surprised. He said, "Didn't the dean tell you? He asked for leave and may not come in the past month."

Schiller was a little surprised because he really hadn't heard about it, so he had to leave the dream world, sleep until dawn, and then go to the Sanctum Sanctorum to find Strange.

He thought that Strange might be held back by some important work in the Sanctum Sanctorum, leaving him no time to teach in the dream world, but he didn't expect the front desk of the Sanctum Sanctorum to tell him that Strange was not there either.

Then Schiller went to Asgard to look for him again, but he didn't find Strange, but he did find Loki. The two sat down in the reception area of ​​Asgard, and Loki asked the waiter to pour Schiller a glass of wine, and it seemed that he was going to have a long talk.

"Stephen hasn't been well lately." As soon as Loki opened his mouth, Schiller frowned. He took a sip of wine and said, "The problem lies in his family. He and his brother have some conflicts."

"Stephen is now successful and famous. Of course, he hopes that his brother can enjoy a better life in New York, but his brother doesn't adapt and always wants to go back to the farm in his hometown. The two parted unhappily."

"But some time ago, his brother had a car accident. When he was sent to the hospital for treatment, he was diagnosed with liver problems. It is suspected to be hereditary. This disease cannot be cured in their hometown. Stephen must let him stay and enjoy the medical conditions in New York."

Schiller sighed. Without Loki's continued words, he could imagine the next scene. Strange has always been obsessed with this matter, because he thinks that when his father was sick, he delayed treatment in a small place, otherwise it would not have deteriorated to that extent.

But Strange's father and his brother Victor both make a living by farming and have not received any higher education. Farmers all over the world have something in common. In their opinion, grain harvest is more important than anything else. They can only feel at ease if they look after their own farms. They can endure the pain if they can, and if they can't, they will prescribe painkillers.

Strange is a top surgeon and a genius. He has been smooth sailing since his debut, but he has not encountered so many strange patients like general practitioners or internists. In his opinion, it is human nature to seek treatment when you are sick, but I didn't expect that the medical blindness was in my own family. You can imagine how angry he would be.

"You have to persuade him." Loki looked at Schiller and said, "You also know that Stephen's personality is a bit extreme. He is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal. And unlike us, he sometimes does not weigh the gains and losses, but only seeks to make his ideas clear. When he gets crazy, he is crazier than anyone else."

"I thought he was busy recently, so he didn't show up. Who knew he was taking care of his family? This is my fault." Schiller stood up and said, "I will go see him. Do you know where he is?"

"Presbyterian Hospital Special Care Ward 103, give him my regards."
