In any case, Captain Rogers was a little tempted by Li Jie's words. It wasn't for money or anything else. It was just two simple points.
First, it was illegal for the military's Political Propaganda Department to do so. Rogers did work under them. And it was true that he had promoted them. But that was based on the special circumstances of World War II.
Therefore, all of Rogers's publicity income at the time was attributed to the military to support the frontline soldiers in the battle. The war at that time, in Captain Rogers's view, was meaningful. It was to resist invasion and crush the selfish ambitions of the ambitious and bring all of humanity into war.
And now the US military launched an overseas war. With all due respect to Rogers, he didn't really support it. Rogers was a patriot, but he wasn't a fool. He knew very well what kind of war was worth the blood and sacrifice of young people, and what wasn't.
He thought that the work of S.H.E.L.D. was much more meaningful than what the US military was doing now. This was true on all levels.
Second, he didn't like the Political Propaganda Department of the US military. It was a simple and direct reason that didn't need too many excuses. He just didn't like it.
"So, Captain. Have you ever signed any form of treaty or licensing agreement with the military? "Lawyer Matt, who had been sitting in the corner of the office, spoke. This was also an important reason why Li Jie asked him to come today.
"I signed an agreement in 1941." Rogers had gone through the Super Soldier transformation program, and even his memory was excellent. "It was an authorization agreement. I signed it when I was still working for the Political Propaganda Department."
"What's the general content?" Li Jie was most afraid of this situation. If the military had Rogers's full authorization statement, it would be troublesome.
"Generally speaking, I volunteered to use my image as propaganda for the Political Propaganda Department. And all the publicity income will be used to fight against the Nazis during the war. "Rogers clearly remembered the provisions of the contract.
"So, the key point here is that your authorization to the Propaganda Department is for a special wartime treaty?" Matt quickly grasped the most important part of the whole contract.
"Yes, you could say that." Rogers thought about it. There shouldn't be any mistakes.
"Then World War II ended more than seventy years ago. Therefore, from a legal perspective, the copyrights they owned were already illegal. The appropriation of Captain Rogers's portrait and deeds over the years has already constituted a violation of the law. Matt already had a rough idea in his mind.
"If we use this point to fight, our chances of winning are still very high."
"Wait, you said we have a chance of winning? Do you want the captain to go to court with the military? "Hawkeye and Coulson understood what Matt meant.
The two of them looked at Li Jie and Matt in disbelief. Did these two understand what they were doing? If Rogers really went against the US military in court. Therefore, it could be said that this lawsuit would be the most important lawsuit of the 21st century.
Because the plaintiff of the lawsuit is Captain America and the defendant is the US military. The reasons for the lawsuit were copyright infringement and harming the interests of others.
If this lawsuit was filed, it would go down in history. This would be a battle of the century that would cause a global sensation and make everyone look at it.
"You ~ Are you kidding me?" Coulson was a little tongue-tied because he thought of so many things at this moment.
Li Jie had a smile on his face, while Matt had a thoughtful look on his face. The two didn't look like they were joking.
Hawkeye held the envelope with his check for one million dollars and looked at the two incredulously. He muttered something in his mouth. "This is crazy."
And the most important thing was Rogers's attitude. He didn't reject Li Jie's proposal outright. Instead, he fell into deeper thinking, and he seemed to be thinking about more things.
And his attitude made Coulson and Barton even more uneasy. "Captain, you're not really going to go against the military in court, are you?"
"I'm just thinking," Rogers said with a smile as he crossed his arms to support his chin.
"Thinking about what?" Barton asked Rogers with some uneasiness.
"Just thinking about Deadpool's way to deal with you." Rogers took the envelope containing the check from Barton's hand. He placed the envelope in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. There was an expression on his face as if he had figured something out.
When Rogers finally left, he didn't give Li Jie a clear answer. But his ambiguous attitude was actually the best answer. Li Jie was confident that he could win Rogers's copyright.
When Coulson and Barton left, they looked at each other with a bad feeling in their eyes. Maybe it was not a good idea to let Rogers help Hawkeye sell the copyright.
After Rogers left Li Jie's company, Li Jie was not idle. He needed to go to the Xavier School for Gifted and Talented in the suburbs in the afternoon.
The sale of the X-Men series of periodicals has been on the right track, and the first few issues were quite controversial. Now, he had his own fan club. Ivy's delicate drawing style and the excellent story of X-Men have been recognized by a large number of audiences.
Ivy was smart, she didn't start the story in modern times. Instead, it was set in the 1960s and 1970s. The protagonist of the story was Professor Charles.
She used an interspersed narrative technique to organically combine the story of decades ago with the modern X-Men story. And most importantly, she elaborated a lot of Professor Charles's views through the comics.
Although there was some controversy, because Charles's own views were relatively peaceful, most readers were still able to accept it.
At the same time, the comics also clearly showed the struggle of the life of the low-level Mutants and the reason for the loss of control of the X-gene. Of course, many of the professor's views can't be thrown out at once.
If too many views are thrown out at once, there may be a situation where the reader can't accept it. Therefore, Li Jie encouraged Ai Wei to keep drawing according to this rhythm. And Ivy also has a 120,000% enthusiasm for the X-Men periodical.
Li Jie didn't want to say anything about this. After all, everyone has their own way of living.
The reason for going to the Mutants school is simple, to pay the professor the first royalties. The royalty amount isn't high, only less than $100,000 for the first issue. And this is a package price for all the X-Men.
After all, no one in the X-Men is popular enough to publish a personal comic book. So all the comics about Mutants are gathered in one periodical.
Naturally, all the problems with the X-Men are coordinated by the professor. For the X-Men, Charles plays a role close to a father in their lives, so they will hardly refuse Charles's request.
Charles doesn't care about royalties or anything. What he cares about is to let more people understand that Mutants are not a cancer in society. They are also human beings, with their own emotions, and they will live, age, get sick, and die.
So Charles is very welcoming of Li Jie's arrival. He is happy to have an ordinary person who can help promote the idea of Mutants, an important ally like him.
There isn't much to describe in the conversation between Li Jie and Charles. As he said goodbye to Charles, a girl as flexible as a civet ran towards Li Jie in the hallway.
The shadowy cat Katie, who has the ability to pass through all kinds of obstacles, ran towards Li Jie. As the first person who is still willing to make friends with her after knowing her special abilities, Li Jie has always been Katie's most important friend. This hasn't changed even after she met many new friends at the Mutants school.
She still remembers the day in the cafe when Li Jie stood in front of her and helped her drive away the rude truck drivers.
"Hey! Long time no see. You've been contacting me less recently. "The girl jumped up and gave Li Jie a big hug. Li Jie almost lost his balance.
"So I came here today to say sorry to you, and I brought a gift from the East Ocean." Li Jie called Katie when he came to the Mutants school today.
She is also the first Mutant friend he has met, and she is a very beautiful girl. He won't forget to bring her a gift from the East Ocean.
"Really?" Katie raised her eyebrows, her hands still on Li Jie's shoulders.
"Yes, it's in my car." Li Jie said as he walked out. Katie very naturally held Li Jie's hand, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.
The things that Li Jie brought for Katie were some trinkets from the East Ocean, cute trinkets that girls like, and some snacks from the East Ocean. It must be said that the East Ocean is the best in the world in the production of snacks. Very few countries can compare to the East Ocean in terms of the variety and taste of snacks.
Well, not to mention the spicy sticks produced in China, Li Jie can guarantee that Katie would never like to eat that stuff.
Li Jie's car was parked on the other side of the school, and he had to cross the entire lawn of the school to get there. The students playing on the lawn are naturally also Mutants, and they are also playing common games, such as football and basketball.
It's just that the ability of Mutants makes them play different, for example, one person can split into five partners, and then fight against another basketball team.
In a corner of the lawn, Decon was lying on the lawn, bored. He has now been brought to this Mutants school by Logen. Living here is the most comfortable time of his life.
There is no cruel training and annoying pain. There are also no terrible experiments. He can live the way he likes here, and all the young children here are like him.
Although Wolverine doesn't know how to express his feelings for children, at least he is much better than Veritas. And Professor Charles is also very good. It's just that he doesn't like the female teacher named Jean Grey. Other than that, everything is good.
He made friends here, and even gained love. Hmm? To be precise, it's unrequited love. He fell in love with a girl one year higher than him, the lively and lively Katie.
Every time she appears, she always has a bright smile, as if nothing can trouble her. Just by looking at that smile, Decon's heart was captured.
It's just that the experience of the past ten years made him more introverted, and Decon, who is never good at expressing himself, doesn't really know Katie. Because Katie doesn't even know that Decon, the guy who has a crush on her, exists.
"Lying here again? Why don't you go play basketball? "The one who talked to Decon was Paul, the boy who can control fire.
Compared to the gloomy expression he had when Li Jie first met him because he lost control of his ability and was locked in the Blackbird, Paul now looks much more cheerful.
For some reason, Paul, who is two years higher than Decon, has become good friends with Decon.
Decon didn't answer Paul, he just changed his position and continued to lie on the lawn, so that he can better bask in the sun.
"Pfft." Paul made a bored sound. However, he soon discovered something very interesting.
The girl who has always been Decon's dream, Katie, is now holding the hand of a strange man, talking and laughing as they walk on the lawn. This kind of scene is too easy to imagine the relationship between the two, especially for boys and girls of this age.
"Decon, I think you better wake up." Paul pushed Decon, who is still rolling on the lawn. Decon pushed Paul's hand away impatiently.
"I'm not joking, Decon, I think the girl you have a crush on already has a boyfriend, you better look."
