Chapter 773 invites you to join the "Avengers"

After another truce, Zhou Xia wrapped up her nightgown and went outside to find a phone while the widow was resting, and called her assistant Xiaobai first.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already dealt with Xiaohu and others for him, Zhou Xia felt relieved, hung up the phone, and called Stallone again.

The other party didn't throw a tantrum at him and reprimanded him as Zhou Xia thought, but just learned about the matter with Sofia in detail with him.

The attraction between Zhou Xia and Sophia is more of a young hormonal attraction, and it is the same as several collisions and exchanges.

Zhou Xia didn't plan to marry, and the family didn't plan to marry either. In this situation, Zhou Xia was also very helpless.

Although Stallone was unhappy, he couldn't say anything. Both of them are adults. In this situation, the most important thing is to deal with the child's problem in a low-key manner, and don't let this matter affect too much.

After the two exchanged opinions, Stallone still had objections to the settlement of the follow-up children and wanted to interfere.

In the end, Zhou Xia said that he was willing to give Sophia a lot of compensation, so he didn't say anything more.

Zhou Xia didn't expect to solve this problem on the phone, and felt a lot more relaxed in the other party's open-mindedness.

Putting down the phone, Zhou Xia was just about to get up and go back to the bedroom, when she turned her head and found that the widow sister in a pink nightgown was leaning against the door and looking at this side.

"Have you heard everything?" Zhou Xia asked suspiciously.

"What did you hear? Who are you calling?" the widow asked in surprise.

Zhou Xia's voice was low, she didn't hear anything so far away, and she wasn't so wink to eavesdrop on Zhou Xia's phone call.

After all, the relationship between two people is limited to... how can they listen to other people's privacy.

"Oh, it's nothing, talk to Stallone about something." Hearing what she said, Zhou Xia felt relieved and said vaguely.

"Oh, are you talking about the release of "The Expendables 3"? I heard that Lionsgate has seen your new movie's performance in Asia and Europe, and now it has great expectations for this movie."

The widow came up and wrapped her arms around Zhou Xia's neck, sticking to his back and said.

Zhou Xia immediately felt the huge soft warm touch on his back.

He turned around and hugged the widow's slender waist, put her face to face on his lap, looked at her and said with a smile: "What information do you have, black widow?"

"Black Widow?" A hint of cunning flashed in Scarlett's light green eyes: "Zhou, I heard the news that people from Disney and Marvel Studios have been in touch with you, and they want to talk to you about the Chinese Marvel hero 'Shang-Chi' movie project, isn't it?"

"Hehe, there is no script now." Zhou Xia said with a smile.

Scarlett is talking about the Chinese hero 'Zheng Shangqi' who is based on Bruce Lee in the Marvel Parallel Universe, commonly known as 'Shang-Chi'.

It's just that she didn't know if she guessed it, or if she heard the specific news. After all, this matter is still just communication.

"The script is not a problem, the timing and the right actors are the rarest things." Scarlett smiled and stopped talking.

"Oh, what do you know?" Zhou Xia became even more curious.

"I've heard a little bit that the filming of "Reunion 2" will start soon, and the script of "Reunion 3" has already been rewritten. Since your movie is very popular and Hollywood is optimistic about you as a kung fu superstar, I heard that maybe "Reunion 3" "United [-]" will have this character's face, as a foreshadowing.

How should I put it, it's mainly because your new movie is a big hit. I don't think you need to worry. When the movie is released in North America and it succeeds at the box office, then you will have more bargaining chips. "

Scarlett finished speaking with a smile, got up and left Zhou Xia, walked directly to the door of the big dressing room next to her, turned her head to look at Zhou Xia and said, "Guess what I'm going to do?"

Before Zhou Xia could answer, she saw the widow's pajamas slipped on the floor, and then she turned around and opened the door, and closed the door of the dressing room casually.

What kind of novelty is this going to do?
Zhou Xia muttered in his heart, sat down properly, and waited patiently.

However, the widow's analysis just now is very reasonable.

In this era of globalization, the world's major markets are increasingly interacting with each other. Capital's profit-seeking instinct drives Marvel Pictures to obtain more profits from the Chinese market.

Then developing a Chinese-American hero will inevitably become a sharp weapon.

In particular, Zhou Xia's action movies are selling well all over the world, which has proved his charisma as an action superstar.

However, due to various reasons, there are many minefields in the Marvel hero 'Shang-Chi'.

For example, in the background of Shang-Chi's story, his father, the famous fictional character 'Fu Manchu' who humiliates China, will inevitably lead to topics related to "humiliating China".

Although everyone is very tolerant now, understanding that the fictional character is a product of the times, thinking that "no need to go online", it is too sensitive, but the fact is the fact, and many netizens will not forgive Marvel for this behavior.

This will naturally have a great impact on the film adaptation of the character Shang-Chi.

However, based on this consideration, the authors of Marvel, who have an infinite universe system, have already fabricated another father for "Shang-Chi" in other story systems, a warrior named Zheng Zu, weakening his background.

It is estimated that if the movie script related to this character is really written, the screenwriters will make a big move, vigorously clean up the original disgraceful settings of "Shang-Chi", and give an explanation to the Chinese audience.

Zhou Xia didn't need to bring this up, the other party would do the same. This was capital's instinct to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

If they don't change like this, of course they will fail miserably in the Chinese market.

The important question now is that Zhou Xia is thinking about whether to accept this drama, and if they cooperate, how should they cooperate.

If I remember correctly, in the original time and space, due to the hot sales of various Hollywood hero movies in the Mainland, the hero "Shang-Chi" in the comics also joined the Avengers in 2015, and began to have more opportunities to appear.

Then, when this situation appeared in a big movie, it became inevitable.

Later, in 2018, "Black Panther" was shot with an all-black cast, and "Crazy Rich Asians" was shot with an all-Asian cast. Greater courage to try minority stories.

Marvel Pictures, which owns the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has more advantages. They immediately started to act, and asked the Chinese screenwriter who wrote "Fantastic Four 2" to start writing the script of the superhero Shang-Chi.

The Marvel hero "Shang-Chi" is not a character that Marvel joined on a whim. He has existed in the Marvel universe for nearly half a century.

He is a member of the Avengers, has appeared in major events of the alliance, and is also an important figure in the Asian face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Therefore, since the other party mentioned this project, they must be very sincere.

Perhaps, after waiting for a year or two, the timing is better, and there will be more room for negotiation at that time.

Just as Zhou Xia was thinking so, the door of the dressing room opened, and Scarlett walked out in a black spy suit, completely in the shape of a 'Black Widow'.

If you just look closely, it is obvious that she is in a vacuum, and the graceful curves of her body are fully revealed.

Zhou Xia seemed to see the glamorous and beautiful black widow in the movie, her throat couldn't help but her heart became hot.

How did the widow know that his favorites are exotic costumes and cosplay...

"'One Qi', I now invite you to join the Avengers, participate in this ultimate battle, and protect mankind and the earth."

The widow walked up to Zhou Xia gracefully, as capable as the black widow in the movie, but her tone was arrogant and provocative.

What are you doing, it's just starting to play out?

Zhou Xia was slightly taken aback, but before she responded, she saw the widow smiled slightly: "However, before that, let me see your kung fu. I don't believe Spider-Man's judgment on your ability!"

Although Zhou Xia has never read the manga of the Marvel hero 'Shang-Chi', he still knows how to play his role in this situation.

"Oh, so, you are very dissatisfied with Hulk's kung fu, it seems that I need to let you know how good I am!" Zhou Xia said in a bad guy's tone on purpose.

"Hulk, if he doesn't turn green, he's a waste. What, can you change and grow bigger too?"

The widow sister understood the meaning of Zhou Xia's words, bit her red lips, and sneered with a smile.
