The bright sunshine falls on a large independent apartment in Long Island, New York. Stan Lee sits in front of a black cherry wood table in the garden, enjoying his morning tea quietly and recalling the past.

Back in 1939, just 16-year-old Stan Lee graduated from high school.

Introduced by his uncle, he met Martin Goodman, then publisher of pulp magazines and comic books. And joined Timely Comic Company as an assistant, with a weekly salary of only $8. Timely Comics was the predecessor of Marvel Comics.

In 1941, the first work of Stan Lee's life came out, which was the third in the series of comics.

In 1945, when World War II ended, Stan Lee returned to New York, resumed his old career and joined Marvel Comics again.

Due to competition from DC Comics at the time, Stan Lee created it in November 1961.

In the following years, with the assistance of cartoonists Jack Kirby and Steve Dito, he successively created ,,,,, and other comic works.

Among them, Stan Lee is still the main creator, who proposed the outline of the whole story and the character setting of Spider-Man.

However, with the decline of Marvel Comics, all of this gradually became uninterested.

On the contrary, DC Comics, the old rival of Marvel Comics, has been continuously entering the film, television, and other multimedia fields since it was acquired by Time Warner Group in 1969.

From the series from the late seventies to the eighties to the series that started filming in the late eighties.

There is no doubt that DC Comics has become the largest comic company in North America, and the fame of Superman and Batman has expanded from North America to the whole world.

However, since Orion Pictures bought Marvel Comics and established Marvel Pictures, which specializes in superhero movies, coupled with the release of , Marvel Comics has transformed itself and returned to the media and the public again.

However, strictly speaking, comic book adaptation movies have never become mainstream commercial movies in Hollywood.

Until, when it was released yesterday, it showed the charm of a superhero movie for the first time.

There were long lines outside countless New York movie theaters and hordes of Spider-Man fans on the streets, kicking off the Marvel Comics film adaptation.

Every time Stan Lee thinks about Orion Pictures and Marvel Studios' superhero film shooting plans, he can't help but feel his blood boil.

He will witness a superhero on the big screen.

This has always been his dream.

On the dining table, Stan Lee didn't even touch the exquisite breakfast and delicious morning tea. His attention was all on the newspaper and box office statistics on the side.

"An era that belongs to the superhero Spider-Man is coming. The director of the film, Ryan Gosling, has perfectly created an ordinary and great superhero. Just like the lines in the film, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Seeing the above comments, Stan Lee couldn't help showing a smile, "With great power comes great responsibility."

This sentence appeared on the front page headlines of many media newspapers.

Apparently, the media and film critics gave very high ratings to the film, with an approval rate of over 90% and an average score of 7.6010.

Now Stan-Lee continued to watch patiently.

"On the first day, the audience's favorable rate was 96%, and the overall evaluation was A﹢!"

This is not the evaluation of the media and film critics, but from the audience in the theater on the first day.

For a commercial film, the voices from the media and film critics can be ignored, but the word-of-mouth of the audience must not be ignored.

"Yesterday, the film produced by Orion Films and Marvel Films was screened on 8,100 screens in nearly 4,000 theaters, and earned a box office of 44.08 million US dollars on the first day, with an average box office of 11,021 US dollars per theater."

This is the box office performance on the first day, which is as high as 44.08 million US dollars, with an average box office of 11,021 US dollars per theater.

Seeing this number, Stan Lee couldn't control his emotions any longer, and he shed two lines of tears in excitement, "I knew that he would never fail."

Stan Lee knows Hollywood very well, and he knows very well what the box office of 44.08 million US dollars on the first day and the average box office of 11,021 US dollars per theater represent.

Even DC Comics and Warner Bros. will immediately restart and film series plans.

For a long time to come, DC Comics can still only look up to Marvel Comics.

Even, it is necessary to keep catching up with the pace of Marvel Comics.

Even if you look at Hollywood as a whole, it is difficult for any film to surpass it in a short period of time.

What's more, don't forget, it's not the end, it's just the beginning, and there will be plans for the Avengers in the future.

"plum!"

Kevin Fitch walked in excitedly, "The New York City government has decided to list Spider-Man as one of the city's image symbols."

"This matter requires you to go there in person and accept media interviews."

In any case, Stan Lee is the father of Spider-Man, which can bring better publicity.

Seeing the excited Kevin Fitch, Stan Lee was not as happy as expected, but more emotional, "It's a pity that Kobe can't see it."

Hearing Kobe's name, Kevin Fitch fell silent.

Jack Kirby is a famous American cartoonist, editor, and screenwriter. He is one of the most famous and prolific cartoonists in the modern American comic field. Known as the "Master of American Comics" and "The King".

Most importantly, he is also one of the creators of the manga.

Unfortunately, he passed away in 1994.

"I would like to invite Steve Dito to go with us." Stan Lee's tone was slightly hoarse.

"Of course." Kevin Fitch looked somewhat surprised, and then he agreed.

Steve Ditto is also one of the creators.

Stan Lee, along with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditto, created what became known as the "magic mode" comic book creation process.

Stan Lee came up with the outline and structure of the story, Jack Kirby did the drawings and minor scene and plot changes, and Steve Ditto did all the dialogue and some final plot changes.

It can be said that the combination of the troika of Stan Lee, Jack Kobe, and Steve Dito once forced DC Comics to almost go bankrupt, and was even acquired by Marvel Comics.

It's just that Steve Dito later returned to Washington and joined Marvel Comics' old rival DC Comics, and even joined the creation of Batman.

For this reason, the relationship between Stan Lee and Steve Ditto became very rigid.

However, nothing matters now.

Stan Lee seems to have seen the plot of the year. With the cooperation of the three of them, DC Comics can only be tired of coping.

"The box office on the first day was US$44.08 million, with an average box office of US$11,021 per theater."

Avi-Arad felt his breath trembling. The box office score of 44.08 million US dollars on the first day was not only a big success, but even created a new record.

"Created a new North American first-day opening record."

"The success of the film will change the landscape of Hollywood, and superhero films will surely become mainstream commercial films." His tone was full of excitement and excitement.

No one can refute that a film with a box office of 44.08 million US dollars on the first day is not a mainstream commercial film in Hollywood.

"Very good box office results." Ryan looked a little tired, but extremely excited.

He knew last night, the first-day box office data.

So, celebrated with Natalie-Portman and didn't sleep well until the wee hours of the morning, not very well rested.

"In addition to Steve Dito, you can also send invitations to Joe Simon and others."

"In the name of Marvel Comics."

With a trace of determination on Ryan's face, he said: "Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures will not forget any hero, and they will get the honor that should belong to them."

Joe Simon is also one of the old employees of Marvel Comics and one of the co-creators of the comics.

He worked with Stan Lee to create superhero comics such as,,,,,,,,,,

In the previous life, when most people mentioned Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the first thing that came to mind was Stan Lee, thinking that he was the father of Marvel.

Ryan does not deny the credit of Stan Lee, but Steve Ditto, Joe Simon, Jack Kobe and others also contributed.

Marvel and Marvel need to give them credit for creating Spider-Man.

Ryan, Orion Pictures, and Marvel Pictures are just stepping on the shoulders of giants.

From the creation of the Spider-Man character, countless cartoonists have participated in the creation. This is the key to Spider-Man's active comic books for decades, and in these decades, he has also cultivated a large number of fans.

Ryan stepped on the shoulders of such a giant and directed it. Otherwise, with the current capacity of the North American box office market, it would be impossible for a non-sequel film to get a box office of 44.08 million US dollars on its first day of release.

Received the invitation from Marvel Comics to call, Steve Dito looked very complicated.

There were many reasons why he chose to leave Marvel Comics in the first place, including personal conflicts with Stan Lee.

However, Steve Dito is old, and many things have gradually faded away with time. He didn't refuse the invitation of Marvel Comics just now, but directly agreed.

"This is an era that belongs to Spider-Man."

"Stan Lee, that old guy still did it."

At the same time, many cartoonists who had previously participated in the creation of Marvel Comics almost all received invitations from Marvel Comics.

Among them is the creator of the phrase "with great power comes great responsibility".

This is not Ryan's idea, but a line from the original comics.
