"At this point, I have no intention of making a Superman movie."
Upon hearing Xu Fu's answer, a hint of regret flashed across WSVanDyke's face, but he did not dwell on the matter for long.
For WCVanDyke, Superman movies are just a fad; even if he loses the rights to those movies, he can still make other types of films.
Due to the ban, the atmosphere at the gathering was not as lively as people had imagined.
Hollywood dared not openly violate the rules of French eucalyptus.
In the evening, the party began to disperse amidst the lively music of the band.
".. How about it?"
Sitting in the car with Hughes, Xu Fu casually asked a question.
"Progress is going quite smoothly."
Hughes picked up a cigar in the car, smelled it, raised an eyebrow, and replied, "Katherine herself is willing to play the lead role in our new film, but before that, we need to convince the company behind her that she has already signed a contract with Thunder."
Katharine Hepburn currently has a five-year contract with Revolt, which could be a problem.
Fortunately, the Great Depression came along, and things became much easier. Things weren't going well with Thunderfury during the Great Depression, so I believed that (if they were willing to pay more) they would accept Katharine Hepburn as the lead in Hughes' film.
Despite the many rumors surrounding him, Howard Hughes is ultimately a name that cannot be ignored in Holidaywood.
He is not only a Hollywood celebrity, but also a director-producer who has left his mark. Moreover, he controls some cinemas in Los Angeles, and usually not many film companies are willing to offend him.
"This shouldn't be a problem for you."
"Correct."
Nodding, Xu Fu noticed several unusual things in Hughes's facial expression. Clearly, the other party didn't seem satisfied with this coincidence.
Noticing the strange expression in Xu Fu's eyes, Hughes made no attempt to hide his feelings and said directly, "I intend to sign Katharine Hepburn."
Taking off his hat, Hughes said, reaching for his cigar: "I have full confidence in Katharine Hepburn's future; she is destined to be a big star."
Chapter 722 The Breath of Death
His gaze lingered on the cigar in Hughes's hand, and Xu Fu knew clearly that this man wanted to do something more.
But this is Howard Hughes's private matter, and he will not interfere.
Late at night, in his luxury car, Xu Fu scanned the windows of the Los Angeles streets, looking for groups of homeless people huddled together in twos and threes under the dim streetlights, wearing only thin clothes and huddled on street corners.
This is a world completely different from the one Xu Fu just experienced at the Holliday Hall party.
The Antiworld, 890 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.
Inside the resistance base.
Xu Fu opened his eyes and looked at his fingers.
A few chilling strands of hair were still tightly wrapped around his arm, and not long ago, Xu Fu had just survived an old-fashioned dock party.
Anyone else would probably be confused by such frequent overlap.
Fortunately, Xu Fu is not considered an ordinary person, especially since he possesses a bronze-colored super brain that helps him handle troubles perfectly.
A powerful mind ensures that his consciousness remains clear at all times, preventing confusion as he travels between the positive and negative worlds.
Taking a deep breath and gathering his impressions of the Holliday party, Xu Fu turned his attention back to the hair in his hand.
As his thoughts flowed, his super-vision eyes 183 began to activate, his microscopic vision rising to a bronze level, helping Xu Fu to better discern the nature of hair.
The description of the Bronze with Super Vision mentions that the enhanced ability allows you to see microscopic things, or even mysterious forces invisible to the naked eye.
However, the fact that the positive world lacks mysterious powers prevents Xu Fu from fully exercising this ability.
Clearly, the world on the other side was very different. Xu Fu began to see the mysterious power of the black mist clearly with his microscopic vision. If it was entangled in his hair and fingers, it must be the power of magic.
Beneath the mysterious black mist, Xu Fu suddenly felt he could see the faces of skeletons screaming in agony. Their mouths opened and closed repeatedly, gnawing at Xu Fu's fingers, but they could not break through his powerful defenses, so they could only grip his fingers as a sign of death.
This discovery caused a slightly cold expression to appear on Xu Fu's face.
He clearly hadn't expected that such a strange phenomenon would exist in just one inconspicuous strand of his hair.
If he hadn't discovered his new microscopic vision, he might never have known this.
"Is this the essence of magical power? Or is it only applicable to the power I've encountered?"
Because of his ignorance of magic, Xu Fu could not tell whether it was the strangeness of the hair under his eyes itself, or simply the power of magic.
Although he understood magic intuitively, this did not mean Xu Fu was intimidated by it. On the contrary, seeing how magical power existed made him even more excited about his other abilities.
Let us not forget that, in addition to improved super vision, this positive global transformation also opened up a new ability for Xu Fu.
The target of this ability is the mysterious magic before him.
Super Conversion Black Iron.
As Xu Fu's thoughts flowed, his body began to subconsciously experience this newly discovered ability.
When the super transformation was activated, Xu Fu clearly felt a black hole forming inside his body, which began to generate a powerful pulling force. Under the influence of this force, the hair tangled on his fingers also changed.
Under microscopic observation, the black mist visibly enveloping the hair began to weaken.
At the same time, an unprecedented power began to flow into Xu Fu's body.
"May your blessings be upon you, great man."
"Don't take me with you, Daddy Gedi."
"Damn it, I curse you, may the black snake bite your heel."
Xu Fu's eyes involuntarily glowed red as the power surged in, and countless piercing screams and whispers rang in his ears.
Like countless prayers and curses, a mud lake suddenly appeared in front of Xu Fu. The scene in his microscopic field of vision turned into a misty black fog. In the fog, he thought he saw a mud figure standing on a cross. Just as the fog dissipated slightly, Xu Fu saw clearly that the cross in front of him was actually a cemetery.
"Xu Fu - Xu Fu".
His name is engraved on the tombstone carved on the cross.
The figure in the black mist seemed to respond to Xu Fu's gaze, and she walked forward with her cane in hand.
The distance between the figures in the black mist began to increase, and Xu Fu's name on the cross in the cemetery became blurred. In its place, a powerful sense of strength filled the body.
"That's what happened just now?"
His consciousness returned to his body, and Xu Fu looked at the still familiar resistance base before him, recalling what he had seen before.
As he looked at the hair in his hand, he could clearly see that the black mist that was originally on the hair had been swallowed up by it. As the black mist disappeared, the hair seemed to lose its power and dissipated into dust under Xu Fu's gaze.
Immediately afterwards, a cold power burst forth from Xu Fu's body.
Although he had never encountered these powers, he subconsciously understood their nature: they were a force of death and darkness.
After the super transformation, Xu Fu's body began to adapt to this power.
The darkness replaced the red light in his eyes. These forces of death did not obstruct Xu Fu's vision; on the contrary, they made him see more clearly.
Under the power of death, Xu Fu's super vision gradually changed.
Under his gaze, the crowd inside the rebel base came into view.
Everyone in the base wore a black halo, a harbinger of death.
The aura of death is the most alluring. If you don't look closely, you can't see any trace of death on Doreen Green. But apart from her, the person with the strongest aura of death in the entire Rebel base is Howard Stark.
After lingering for a moment over a death as significant as Howard's, Xu Fu looked into the distance.
Since his eyes can see the death aura on others when he is in super-transformation state, what does his own death aura look like?
With this thought in mind, Xu Fu walked to the mirror.
However, the scene before him made Xu Fu frown.
He saw only darkness in the mirror, as if some invisible force had obscured everything, preventing him from seeing the aura of death that belonged to him.
"So, what does it mean that it's difficult for healers to heal themselves?"
Chapter 723 Helpless
Xu Fu could see the aura of death emanating from the members of the resistance organization through his eyes, but he could not see his own death.
With this thought in mind, Xu Fu tried to enter the room again, but could not see himself through his phone or any other mirrored object.
After his attempt failed, Xu Fu hung up the phone.
Although his super-transformation ability enabled him to absorb and convert magic for his own use, this did not mean that Xu Fu had truly mastered the meaning of magic.
He simply bypassed the cost of cumbersome rituals or magic by unlocking the ability, forcing his body to adapt to the power of that ability and use it for himself.
As Xu Fu pondered, the darkness in his eyes began to clear, a result of the depletion of the power of death shortly afterward.
Just like in the comics, Super Transformation simply transforms magical and other mystical powers into powers that he can use, without generating magical power himself.
In the comics, Superman's powers disappeared after the Magic Stone was destroyed.
On the other hand, the reality is that once Xu Fu runs out of his transformation ability, he will also lose the ability formed by this ability.
Xu Fu himself does not regret this: the ability to transform into a superhuman was originally just to help him gain the ability to resist magic, so that he would not be helpless like a real superhuman at critical moments.
However, sensing the rapidly dissipating deathly power in his eyes, Xu Fu finally used his surveillance technique to look around the rebel base before the power completely disappeared.
