American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Hughes still needs time to arrange his itinerary for photographing icebergs.

Especially since he is currently preparing to establish a flight company.

After coming out of the film and television studio, Luo Yin breathed a long sigh of relief. He still likes to talk to ordinary people. Being such a maverick like Hughes always makes him feel more stressed, because you never know what the next thought in the other person's mind will be. What is it.

It was like he couldn't understand that the other party just wanted to take a shot of an iceberg.

Just the idea of ​​​​going to the place where the giant ship sank.

While calming his emotions, Luo Yin couldn't help but cast his eyes on Colin beside him.

He did not forget that the other party was the mastermind behind Hughes' filming of the movie "Titanic".

At first, he thought that Colin asked him and Howard Hughes just to establish connections, but he did not expect that the other party would unexpectedly persuade him to make a movie, and it would be a big production like Titanic. .

As a Hollywood practitioner, it would be a lie to say that I am not envious.

Even if Disney focuses on areas such as animated films, it is still a money-burning business.

Even, in some respects, animated movies cost more money than live-action ones.

Among Hollywood producers, Hughes is always at the top.

After all, there are few producers who would make a movie as recklessly as he does.

Everyone in Hollywood knows that once a movie is invested by Hughes, there is no need to worry about funding.

"Congratulations, Colin, I can already foresee the response to the release of Titanic. Once the movie is released, you will become a household name in Hollywood."

"Thanks."

He politely accepted the blessing from Luo Yin.

But in fact, the purpose of Colin's trip was never to become famous in Hollywood. He might enter the fame fair of Hollywood. But not now, but after acquiring Paramount.

The reason why he actively contacted Hughes was also because of the connections behind him.

Titanic was just a stepping stone to establish his relationship with Hughes.

to accomplish its true purpose.

…

After leaving Hughes Film and Television Studio, Colin's goal of this trip was mostly completed.

However, he didn't just leave Los Angeles.

Instead, he cooperated with Luo Yin's request and went to the Walt Disney Studios.

Although, the reason given by Luo Yin was that Walt had some problems with the interactive animation between Superman and Mickey, which he, the author, needed to determine.

But both of them knew that this was just an excuse.

"Colin, long time no see."

At the studio, Colin met Walt. He looked the same as before, with his hair neatly combed back and shining with grease.

In fact, this was also the standard dress of most men in this era. Even Hughes, whom Colin had seen before, was the same, with his hair combed back to expose his forehead.

Colin respects this, but does not abide by it.

He didn't like the feeling of his hair being soaked in hair cream.

"It's been a while since New York and Los Angeles were too far away."

Nodding, Walter felt the same way.

If he hadn't been too bored on the train from New York back to Hollywood, he wouldn't have been inspired to create Mickey.

"When will there be more convenient transportation so that people will not be bothered by distance."

Thinking of his own experience, Walter couldn't help but sigh.

"I think airplanes are a good option."

"airplane?"

Hearing Colin's words, Walter shook his head, not believing his conjecture.

During this period, the flying altitude of passenger planes was still limited to an altitude of 7,000 feet, which was outside the troposphere, causing the aircraft's flight to be extremely bumpy. It is precisely for this reason that the vast majority of Americans do not believe in the safety of airplanes. According to statistics, less than 1% of people in the United States of this era have ever flown on an airplane.

The person who truly popularized the development of the American aviation industry was Howard Hughes, whom Colin had met before.

He played a key role in the development of the US aviation industry and was even called the 'Father of TWA'.

However, now the "Airplane King" has turned his attention to the sea because of Colin's Titanic, and is preparing to take pictures of the iceberg that sank the giant ship. Perhaps the development of the US aviation industry will be delayed for a few years. .

…

The studio briefly talked about each other's situation.

Walt's topic naturally led to the production of animation.

Since Mickey Mouse, Disney has been trying to create new animated characters. At present, Disney's popularity is mainly concentrated on Mickey. Even Minnie and Pluto are, in a way, an extension of the popularity of the Mickey family. One is Mickey's pet and the other is his girlfriend.

In terms of story, Walt has been creating new animated characters in the "Lake Symphony" series.

In these stories, many animations even feature brand-new animated scenes in addition to the animated image of Mickey at the beginning.

Disney has been working on this kind of creation for nearly three or four years.

But it has never been able to create an animated character that can rival Mickey's popularity.

At present, Disney still relies on Mickey to support most of the studio's funds. Everyone, including Luo Yin, knows that this cannot last long.

In "Lake Symphony", Disney has tried most of the animated characters, from non-human skeletons to trees and many animal dwarves, but the audience does not seem to like it too much, they still like Mickey. Luo Yin has tried more than once to authorize other animated characters, but the results are not significant.

"Maybe, you can try to start with the image of other animals."

Originally, Colin did not want to participate in Disney animation production. Anyway, even if he didn't say it, after a few years, all the classic Disney characters would appear.

However, since Walt took the initiative to express his troubles, how could he, as a "friend", stand by and watch.

You can't blame me for this, you took the initiative to speak up.

After reciting a sentence in his mind, Colin pretended to think about it. After a moment of silence, he said in a tentative tone: "Mickey's image comes from the mouse, so a chicken or a duck is a good choice."

"Chicken, duck?"

"Yes, especially the duck. Don't you think its quacking sound is very suitable for creating an animated character?"

As he spoke, Colin pretended to be inspired. He picked up the brush in front of him and made a few difficult sketches. A rough image of Donald Duck appeared on the drawing paper.
