The My Hollywood System
Chapter 154

"I'm a big fan, sir."

Will said as he reached out his hand to shake hands in front of Stan.

Stan's confused. He has always loved watching television, and recently, he was just going to dig a channel that talks about Will Evans and watch it.

To him, watching Will was like watching himself. People often like to imagine themselves as the protagonists of the novels they read, the heroes of the movies they watch, and such, and that's why people can successfully connect the likes and sorrows of those characters.

In this way, Stan had been watching Will ever since he made [Sherlock Holmes]. Stan is a huge fan of the original Sherlock Holmes novels, and when he sees the same character remade by Will, he immediately jumps for joy.

Stan is often depressed and overworked, and the bitterness inside him continues to grow. But he is a positive person. Watching Will's meteoric rise, he motivates himself to do better. Because one day in the future, she wants her dream to change from 'able to pay monthly rent' to 'able to watch her character come alive.

Now, suddenly hearing 'I'm a big fan' of the man she admires herself, a sense of accomplishment envelops Stan. His heart trembled, and he could not help but feel emotion, because eventually, teardrops formed in his eyes.

This is the first time anyone has ever admitted to it. Even though Stan was the type to brighten the days of others with his smile, there was no reason for him to smile otherwise until now. All he has is the scorn of his family for dedicating his life to a lowly job, his office treating his previous character like a replaceable character.

As Stan ages, the hope of being recognized by everyone for his work slowly diminishes.

"Sir, why are you crying? Don't do this. I'm not lying, I'm really a fan of all your work, and I'm so happy to meet you."

Will suddenly becomes agitated after seeing the man who always appears with a smile on the screen. He didn't know what to say, so he started saying things like he was a huge fan of the man.

"Ah, haha. Don't worry about that. I'm just a little emotional in there, I guess? Sorry for showing such an unpleasant sight."

Stan said in his old voice, it is now a bit messy as his emotions run amok inside him. He wiped away the tears in his wrinkled eyes as he grinned with his teeth.

"No, no. Its alright. It's nice to meet you. I've been waiting for this day for years."

will said, and he's not even lying at the moment. He loved all the characters and stories Stan had created since the last time, and he was thrilled to meet this legend in person. It was already hard enough to hold his blood from boiling.

After a while, Stan finally calms down, and Ross returns after evicting Jimmy from the office.

"Master, I love all the characters you've created, and the company's characters don't provide any value. As a fan, I would love to remake this character and bring it to life."

Will said, and this time, Stan really could not control his trembling lips. He had just calmed down when Will dropped another melodious bomb.

Will did not want to wait any longer, so he turned around and looked at everyone before announcing.

"My next film will relate to Marvel characters and their stories. But before that, we have a lot of work to do. For starters, make Marvel comics available online."

Hearing Will's words, everyone in the room was stunned as a feeling of restrained excitement filled the room.

"ME-I"

Stan Lee's current expression was worth seeing. Will, who saw everyone getting excited, continued.

"Before that, I wanted to announce something about the company's employee retention. Since I took over the company, I have full rights to detain or kick any employee at Will. But, of course, it also means you have the full right to go as you please in the next week."

Everyone listened to Will's words and inevitably took their thoughts in a positive direction. Until now, they had only thought that Will would kick them out because of the current status of the comics. But after seeing the show with Stan Lee, they couldn't help but hope a little.

"I will arrest all those who do not wish to leave on a three-month probation. If you prove your worth within that timeframe, your current wages and commissions will increase. I'll also rent an office near Dream Vision Studios so Marvel can officially join as a subsidiary."

Everyone almost jumped up in excitement from their seats after hearing Will's words. Since everyone wanted to keep the job, especially after Will took over, they inevitably became more excited. Not to mention they're moving into a new office!

"And I appreciate that the parents here have a lot of experience and talent in the industry, but working too hard at this age would be the last sin I want to commit. So I'm going to start hiring more young and capable employees for Marvel Comics to help you all."

Will spoke while looking at Stan at the end of his sentence.

Stan is currently overflowing with excitement, and he has so much joy in one day that he feels he has never been this happy before in his career. Not to mention Spiderman is one of his most beloved characters. Bringing him back to the series was something he always wanted to do but couldn't because of the old CEO.

"I'd be happy to reboot all of that. It won't be troublesome because I always want to return it, and the stories I've prepared in the draft. Better to reboot the timeline than bring it back from the dead."

Stand began to speak excitedly. Changing timelines in comics is common, and Stan Lee is someone who can easily do all of this. Will smiled as he said.

"You can do whatever you think will make the comics better, and I won't interfere with the creative team. In addition, we need to scan all the popular comics today and bring them to the online platform, where they can be exposed to a much larger audience."

Will said, and Ross nodded his head from beside the well. As a young man and someone of the online generation, he always wanted to give this advice to the CEO, but the CEO was so jerky that he couldn't muster the courage for it.

Amanda, who had just watched everything until now, finally spoke.

"Maybe we can create a separate website for that? But that way, we'll lose a lot of mobile platform users."

Will rubbed his chin hearing that and finally shook his head.

"We can always create multi-platform applications. Although it only costs more, it will increase the income and exposition of comics in the long run."

Amanda nodded, hearing it. He said,

"Maybe we could make something like Netflix for comics?"

"Good! Something like that might actually work. We can discuss the details later after we solve the problem directly first."

Will commented, thinking it was a very good idea. Maybe, later, they can officially get an interpreter for Manga, Manhwa, and Manhua as well, and get it on the app.

"But first of all, releasing the film directly would be a huge risk. So I have a better plan to get the audience base first."

"What's that?"

Stand asked after hearing Will's words.

"To make Marvel characters popular among kids and teens, Spiderman alone is not enough. So we're going to start the Marvel character animation series first."

Will commented as he thought of all the marvel animated series long before the film.

Animation Studio Jixar, Los Angeles, California.

It was a medium-sized animation studio in LA that made enough profit not to run out of business. But what they are currently lacking is capital.

The studio is only four years old and has grown tremendously thanks to the CEO of the company. It was a 24-year-old boy named Jerry Leopard. He had started this company even before he graduated from animation school and managed to get investors to invest in his company. Investors become one of the major shareholders of the company as the company is in its early stages and gets voting rights over the company's issues.

"I'm telling you, making short films is much more profitable now. You should listen to me, son. You wouldn't be here if I didn't recognize your talent in the first place."

Jaidyn Smurf, a 54-year-old African-American man, commented. He is a major shareholder of Jixar Animation Studios. Currently, the CEO and chairman of the company, Jerry Leopard, and Jaidyn are in a heated debate.

Jerry insisted on raising more funds for the company to get investments for big animated films, and Jaidyn denied it by saying it was better not to take risks and invest in short films. Both are correct from their point of view, but they have to conclude this debate because the company's next project is delayed because of this.
