The My Hollywood System
Chapter 152

Will and Amanda are currently in the elevator moving down from the third floor to the ground floor.

The meeting about Netflix and its future plans has just been completed and Will drags Amanda into the elevator by saying that they have to go somewhere.

"Where are we going?"

ask Amanda. He has been dragged along with Will without a proper explanation of where they are going.

"It's been months since I bought Marvel Comics. But I still haven't visited his office because I'm kept busy with a lot of other things. Since I made my future plans now, I had to pay them a visit. Anyway, Marvel's gonna be a big part of it."

Will said as they walked out of the elevator.

Amanda, as if enlightened, inevitably asked.

"Are you going to make the next superhero movie?"

"Well, why would I do that?"

Will said, and Amanda's facial expression finally relaxed, thinking that nothing big would happen. That's where he's wrong.

Will continued his sentence from where he left it.

"I'm going to create a superhero franchise."

"What!?"

"I'm going to create a superhero franchise."

"I heard it clearly the first time. 'What' I was more of a surprise reaction than a question."

Amanda said when she felt another headache coming on. Superhero movies have become a huge stigma in this world because even the best barely break even. So when Will talks about making not just a movie but an entire franchise about the same thing, he can't help feeling nervous.

"You know that the superhero franchise will come with great risks? It won't be like [Sherlock Holmes]. First of all, choosing a superhero who will succeed or not is already a big task."

Amanda said, trying to explain. He had given up trying to change Will's mind about something he had held onto for a long time. All he could do was give 'advice' that he might receive or not.

"Look, that's why I repeated it myself. You didn't hear me clearly. I said I'd make a superhero franchise. The superheroes! Not just one, but all superheroes."

Will finally said and his face looked slightly excited and proud. In any case, he will soon enter the world of Marvel cinematics. Re-create each film and enjoy the reactions of people from different walks of life.

“....”

Amanda looked at Will like a madman. He can't believe what he's talking about. Seeing his reaction, Will just shrugged his shoulders.

“You will see soon.”

will said when they got to his car. He opened the passenger seat of the car he was sitting in and gave the key to Amanda.

“....”

Amanda looked back at him, speechless.

"What's? You don't know how to drive?"

Will asked, raising his eyebrows.

".....I know."

“Then what are you waiting for? Can't you drive for a friend?”

Will asks with satisfaction where Amanda just shook her head. Without saying anything, he sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

Even after the car was turned on for almost a minute, Amanda did not step on the accelerator.

"What now?"

Will looked beside her and asked.

"I don't know where Marvel's office is." "....You know what? Let me drive.”

Will shook his head. After a while, they finally left the company premises.

***

Marvel Comics, Los Angeles, California.

Unlike in Will's previous world, Marvel's headquarters in this world, and now its only office, is located in Los Angeles, not in New York City.

It was a two-story old building on the east road. The inside of the office looks old and most departments seem unkempt.

Currently, Jimmy Spark, the CEO of Marvel, is busy scolding an old man with gray hair and mustache. Jimmy Spark was as old as the old man in front of him, but looking at both of their bodies, there was a clear difference.

Jimmy Spark was a fat man, as if he had only eaten pizza and burgers all his life, on the other hand, the other old man was much slimmer. His eyes looked tired and his expression showed bitterness and anxiety.

Marvel Comics was once the best of the best even in this world. It was acquired in the 70s, 80s, and even into the early 90s. But now what was left of him was the shadow of his past glory. It barely survives somehow after being completely trampled by a DC comic.

Not only that, even other comics companies that started later than them have gone further than where Marvel is today.

The current CEO and even all existing company employees are the same even after Will buys the entire company. The reason was simple, he was a very busy person.

He has decided to let things go and tell his existing managing staff to function until he officially takes over the company. The staff were more than happy not to lose their jobs for a few more months.

“Persetan. How long do you think we're gonna last like this? Don't you have something better to offer your readers? ”

Jimmy yelled with spit that came out of his mouth every time he said a word. The person in front of Jimmy was the head of the comic book manufacturing department. The latest comic series again fails and Jimmy is currently venting his frustration over the marketing team's poor efforts at the head of old creations.

"You know what? Just -"

Just as Jimmy was about to tell the old man that he was going to be fired, Jimmy's assistant, Ross, came to the office.

Jimmy made an unhappy face as he asked.

“What is that, a jerk face? Don't you know that you can't enter without tapping?”

“T-but sir..”

The young assistant stuttered. He is a newly appointed assistant as none of Jimmy's assistants have lasted more than 3 months.

"But? Butwhat? Huh huh? You better have a good reason to barge in like this or consider yourself a failure.”

Jimmy refrained from saying the word 'fired'. He knew that it was getting harder to appoint anyone as his assistant every day, and if he continued to fire everyone then he would be the only person left in the company.

"Sir, Will Evans is coming to the office."

Ross stuttered again. He felt he had made the biggest mistake of his life by becoming a psychopath's assistant. It's very clear what one of the biggest reasons behind Marvel's downfall is.

"What's? who will?”

'Fat row of your ignorance!'

Ross cursed internally as he replied.

“Master, this is a new owner. The company's new owner, Will Evans. He finally came today to take control of the company, officially. You remember he bought the company, right? ”

“B-right…. Of course I remember."

Jimmy completely forgot about it. The only thing he remembered was that Will was too busy to immediately take over the company, even after buying. So they can continue to function until he takes back control.

Jimmy finally begins to sweat after realizing that his days of bossing people may be over if he does nothing to impress his new boss.

"What are you waiting for? Go and call everyone for a meeting. ”

He shouted at the assistant again, who somehow built up courage and replied.

“I'm not as late as you, I've called everyone for a meeting in the main hall. Come and join if you want.”

Jimmy watched in agape as Ross left his cabin like a lion finally pulling out his fangs. Since Ross already knew that most of the employees of this sunken company ship would be expelled as soon as proper management returned, he no longer had any reason to fear the so-called CEO.

Still, as soon as he closed the door of his cabin and walked a little further, he placed his hand on his speeding heart. Grain of sweat formed around his forehead and neck as he tried to calm his heart.

“Wow, the... very thrilling.”

An awkward smile formed on Ross' face as he was shocked at himself about how he spoke to his boss in a loud voice. The boss who gave him PTSD after only three months worked here.

"Take it you're fat old."

Ross gave Jimmy a middle finger in his heart. But before he could celebrate much, he heard a scream coming from Jimmy's cabin again.

He could already guess what was happening inside. For some reason, this old bastard would always try to find an excuse to humiliate the poor head of creation.

“Bags like you don't deserve such a position. I hope Will kicks your ass first. I'd rather see the head of creation as CEO than you. ”

Ross muttered to himself. She had just vented her frustration from the mistreatment for months, but she could not help feeling sad for the old man. He is always kind to people and always replies to everyone with a bright smile, but when no one is talking to him, he will always have a long face.

One of the only two corporate cleaners ran towards Ross as he said while trying to catch his breath.

“Mr….. Will Evans has arrived.”
