Huayu is here for you

However, he didn't have time to worry about that right now, because he had to go to Marvel. After he flew to Marvel, he met Avi Arad, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. Avi Arad was very welcoming to Lin Yu's arrival. After all, Lin Yu was in charge of the Iron Man movie, from the script to the filming. He was also eager to know what the finished film looked like and Lin Yu's opinion on the movie.

"Avi Arad, believe me, we're going to usher in a whole new era of cinema! An era where even top actors and actresses will be vying to play supporting roles in superhero movies!" Lin Yu said with a touch of elation.

"Alright, Lin, as long as you're confident, that's fine. Although Marvel now has an extra $100 million from you, if the Iron Man movie fails, then Marvel will really be in deep trouble," Avi Arad said with some concern.

Looking at Avi Arad's worried expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart; he really did have self-awareness.

Even after the success of "Iron Man" and the subsequent recovery of Marvel's fortunes, it was still inevitably acquired, which speaks volumes about the problems Marvel is facing.

Marvel's shareholders are all thinking about not losing their own pocket money and making as much as possible for themselves, regardless of what the future holds.

In short, it's just that the major shareholders aren't very optimistic about Marvel's future. If they had known the profits that the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies would bring, like Lin Yu did, they probably would never have sold Marvel like that.

"By the way, Lin, what are your thoughts on the release date of 'Iron Man'?"

"In North America... let's set it for late July, and it's time to start promoting 'Iron Man' now," Lin Yu said after thinking for a moment.

To achieve high box office returns, besides a high-quality film, it's also essential to choose the right release date. Late July is a perfect time, and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Coffin" has been in theaters for almost two weeks, so there's no need to worry about it competing with "Iron Man" for box office revenue.

In late July 2006 in North America, only two films were released as rivals to "Iron Man": "Love Assassin" and "Ants You Don't Mess With."

Lin Yu said: I'm sorry, I've never even heard of his name.

"Also, let's set the release date in China for early August. I'll talk to China Film Group and they'll handle the publicity and distribution there. The rest is up to you. Publicity and distribution are crucial to a film's success," Lin Yu said slowly after considering.

"OK, no problem, I'll do my best to arrange it. Whether Marvel can be revived, and whether you can convince those shareholders, depends on this groundbreaking work of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I hope you won't disappoint me, Lin!" Avi Arad said.

"Leave it to me!"

After leaving Marvel, Lin Yu also went to check on the post-production of "The Martian." After confirming that it wouldn't delay his expected release date, he left with peace of mind.

Afterwards, he returned to Lin Yu at Starlight in North America and explained the release date of "Iron Man" to Han Sanping, who assured him that he would take care of it.

For the rest of the time, Lin Yu planned to stay in North America. After all, Miss Liu was too busy to keep him company, and he didn't have much to do when he went back. The sequel to "Buried Alive" was ready, and he was just waiting for Lin Yu to take it to Venice and sell it for a good price.

So, having nothing better to do, Lin Yu made an unprecedented trip to the set of "Twilight".

The movie is basically finished now, with only some minor scenes needing to be reshot. Honest Hu Ge had already finished filming his scenes a long time ago, but he just wouldn't leave, insisting on waiting for the entire crew to finish filming.

It's unclear whether it was Lao Hu's own idea or his wife Cai Jie's decision to prevent him from leaving early.

Upon arriving at the film set, Lin Yu first greeted everyone in turn.

When Lin Yu, the big boss, came to visit, the staff and actors in the film crew all showed him their politeness.

Looking at the crew that had shrunk considerably, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry at Lao Hu.

"Old Hu, your scenes are long gone, what are you still doing here? Hasn't your sister Cai already started preparing to film 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'? Aren't you going to join in?" Lin Yu asked, walking up to Hu Ge at the edge of the set.

Hu Ge greeted Lin Yu upon her arrival. "Hehe... Sister K said I've come all this way to Hollywood, so she wants me to look around a bit more. 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' can be postponed for a few days, but I'm not familiar with this place, so I might as well stay on set. That way, the director won't be unable to find me when he needs to reshoot scenes."

Lin Yu looked at Hu Ge, who kept touching his nose, and knew that what he said might not be entirely true. However, what Lao Hu wanted to do was none of Lin Yu's business, and he didn't bother to care.

But Lin Yu still decided to tease him a bit, since he had nothing better to do anyway.

"Hey... Lao Hu, isn't Little K pretty?" Lin Yu suddenly put his arm around Hu Ge's shoulder and asked.

"Little K? Who's that?"

"The female lead, Christine."

"What? What does it matter to me whether she's pretty or not?" Old Hu said speechlessly.

"Hehe, still won't admit it? I've only been here a short while, and I've already seen you glancing at Christine several times. Alright, Lao Hu, still not telling the truth, huh?"

"Oh dear, Director Lin, really, no! I have a girlfriend, don't talk nonsense. What will Jia Ning think of me if word gets out?" Hu Ge explained helplessly, pushing Lin Yu's arm away.

"Where will this go? You're just a nobody now, who's going to pay attention to you? Seriously, you're not here to pick up girls, are you?" Lin Yu asked curiously.

"Get lost! You're the one trying to pick up girls! I just wanted to broaden my horizons and see how filming here is different from filming abroad."

"You've been watching for almost three months, and you still haven't had enough?"

"You...when did you become like this? You're such a jerk!" Old Hu said, his face contorted.

"Hahaha... Okay, I'm just teasing you. Let's go, it's my treat today, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Lin Yu pulled Hu Ge and started walking out, completely ignoring the feelings of the crew members.

"Christine, is Mr. Lin leaving after just one visit? I was hoping to get to know him."

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

……

Lin Yu led Hu Ge around the area several times, but they couldn't find a place where they both wanted to eat. Finally, when they were too tired to walk around anymore, they found a small restaurant near the film set and started eating the "feast" that Lin Yu had mentioned.

Lin Yu ordered a whole bunch of things for Hu Ge, including bread, steak, salad, and pasta.

Lin Yu said: Eat whatever you want, order more if you're not full. I'm just asking if this meal is big enough for you.

Hu Ge said: This meal is indeed huge, well... literally, it's huge. The bread is huge, the steak is huge, and even the spaghetti, Lin Yu ordered for him the largest size.
