"Well, interesting."

Tunnel, next to the pool.

Spike looked at the pool of water in front of him emitting a faint blue light, and a focused expression appeared on his nonchalant face.

He stepped closer to the pool, and leaned over to look at the two reflections in the pool.

Spike raised his eyebrows, stretched out his palm and approached the pool under Amanda's uneasy gaze behind him.

"Spike!"

Seeing this scene, Amanda shouted subconsciously.

And the latter also stopped his movements at the moment when his fingers were about to touch the water surface, turned his head to look at Amanda with a worried expression, and shrugged.

"Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger."

Withdrawing his palm, he looked down at the blue pool in front of him, Spike and his reflection in the pool silently looked at each other, and then said thoughtfully.

"I think I've pretty much figured it out."

"what?"

On the side, Agent Zhou entered the cave with Agent Zhou. Upon hearing Spike's words, Agent Phil answered subconsciously.

"The reason why this pool, or all this in the tunnel, is so strange."

Hearing Agent Phil's words, Spike reached out and touched the buttons of his sleeves, glanced at the gaps in the stone walls of the tunnel and met the distorted faces before continuing to reply: "There is no doubt that this place once It is a channel to communicate with the spirit world, and a place of inheritance of a certain psychic faction, or a witch, a shaman or something else, but for some reason, they gave up this channel of the spiritual world until it was once again Discovered by 'Andrew' and the others."

"This also explains why the spirit that enters 'Andrew' is so special. The psychic uses the power of the spirit to achieve a certain purpose, and the spirit uses the body of the psychic to come to the real world for a short time. In order to prevent the spirit from occupying his body, the psychic obviously took precautions in advance, so that the spirit that appeared from this passage could not fully descend into reality, keeping the danger within a controllable range."

"And 'Andrew' and the others obviously don't understand all of this. They just use this passage of the spirit world simply as a place to obtain supernatural power, and they come into contact with the pool time and time again, allowing the spirit to enter their bodies. eventually replaced by spirits."

"It sounds like some kind of loan, but the object of the loan is the spirit on the other side of the tunnel?"

After listening to Spike's description, Agent Phil inexplicably thought of the real loan.

"In a sense, you can indeed understand it that way."

There is no denying the comparison of Agent Phil, this way of communicating with spirits is indeed like a loan in the real world.

However, it is different from reality.

The object of your loan here is not the bank but the spirit, and the price you pay is no longer interest, but your own body.

When you have obtained all the power, the spirit has also obtained what it wants most.

All the gifts given by fate have been secretly priced, but you don't know what the price is.

"Superhero theme?"

New York, Universal Studios Building.

Faced with Ron Meyer's suggestion, Zhao Yuan couldn't help showing an expression of surprise, even drawing back his attention on the system.

"Yes."

Zhao Yuan's reaction did not exceed Ron Meyer's expectations, in fact, as a veteran Hollywood film production company.

Universal is currently the only film company in Hollywood that does not have superhero copyrights. When other film production companies authorized or bought and sold superhero themes, Universal did not participate in it.

Originally, this kind of thing is nothing. Although there are no superhero themes to shoot, it is not that Universal has no movies to shoot.

Especially in the past two years, after binding Zhao Yuan, through various "pseudo-documentary" movies, even without the blessing of superhero movies, Universal is still outstanding in terms of movie financial reports, not even losing to Disney and the like. The film production company that holds the copyright of superheroes.

Under such circumstances, whether to shoot superhero movies or not is not something worth considering for Universal.

However, this situation, with the emergence of 'superheroes' in the real world, has obviously changed dramatically.

With the reports of superheroes appearing in New York City, the subject of superhero movies, which has gradually become a popular IP, has become even more popular.

As far as Universal understands, with the emergence of superheroes, the copyrights of superheroes of major film companies have directly increased several times online. As for comics under Marvel and DC, they have repeatedly broken records. largest increase.

On the Disney side, it announced the concept of the Marvel Universe not long ago, and then Warner launched the shooting plan of "Justice League" not to be outdone.

Columbia Pictures announced the restart of the "Hellboy" series, even though the previous "Hellboy 2" has just had a box office hit.

Not to mention Fox's Fantastic Four, Sony's Spider-Man, etc...

In short, as long as the film production companies in Hollywood have superhero copyrights, they almost all announced their superhero shooting plans by coincidence.

Facing this menacing wave of superheroes, even Universal, who didn't care about it at first, had to pay attention.

There is no doubt that the emergence of superheroes in the real world has made superhero movies a hot topic in Hollywood today. If Universal does not want to be left behind in this craze, it must make a little change and join it.

However, right now, because of the influence of those three superheroes, superheroes have become the most popular copyright in Hollywood, and all superhero themes that can be named have been multiplied by more than several times, and even some unpopular superheroes are sold at the copyright price. It's also as cheap as it used to be.

Under such circumstances, unless Universal makes a big determination.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain the copyrights of famous superhero movies in the current market. Even judging from the current enthusiasm for superhero themes in Hollywood, even if Universal really wants to acquire copyrights, it is unlikely that any film company will be willing. sell.

In the case of being unable to successfully obtain the superhero copyright, Universal also had to change its direction. Since there is no superhero copyright to shoot, then I will create a superhero script and shoot it.

Under such a premise, Zhao Yuan naturally entered Universal's eyes.
