Chapter 175 Blood-stained Potion
Such a situation naturally made other film investment companies in the United States jealous, and they contacted Marvel one after another, wanting to invest in this movie.
They said that a mere $100 million was not enough, and that a massive investment of several hundred million dollars was necessary to meet the strong demand from movie fans around the world.
As for the 'Lin Feng' series of Marvel superhero movies, how much is the investment?
Raymond Lam actually doesn’t pay much attention to it, after all, he won’t be shooting it himself.
In short, no matter what, as long as the movie is a big success at the box office, Raymond Lam will naturally get a share of the profits thanks to the authorization of his image and story.
Of course, compared to how much money he can make, Lin Feng is more concerned about the upgrade of the third-generation gene enhancement agent.
At this time, Marvel is willing to promote his third-generation genetic enhancement potion for free so that he can get more experience points. How could Lin Feng refuse?
This is also the reason why Raymond Lam allowed the American Marvel Studios to use his image to produce superhero comics, animations, movies, novels and other works.
Of course, with the success of Marvel Studios, and the cost seems to be exceptionally low, there are also domestic Zhiyin Manke and Penguin Video, and the island country's Shueisha, Shogakukan, and Kodansha.
The American Empire’s DC Comics, IDW Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics…
All of a sudden, domestic and foreign comic companies all approached Raymond Lam, hoping to obtain the authorization for his image and story to produce corresponding animations, comics, novels, and movies.
Lin Feng was so annoyed by this that he didn't know what to do.
He can only publicly state on Xingtu Technology’s official website, Weibo, Twitter, Facebook and other platforms that any company and any work can use and publish his image, settings, and background.
As long as the profit of the related works does not exceed 5000 million US dollars, the related works will be free forever. If it exceeds 5000 million US dollars, only 2% image fee will be charged!
Of course, Raymond Lam also emphasized that his image in related works must be bright and just, and cannot be evil or terrifying.
There are also no "harmonious" comics, cartoons, movies, or novels that show men and women doing that together.
Raymond Lam said that if any of these two requirements are not met, he will sue the relevant party for infringing on his reputation.
On the contrary, as long as they abide by the rules, they can use the image story of Raymond Lam and Starway Technology to create related IP works.
Upon hearing this, many BL-loving fujoshi and many otakus who were looking forward to the release of the "Raymond Lam's Special Harmony" cartoon were naturally very disappointed.
Novelists, comic book authors, and filmmakers around the world were naturally very surprised.
After all, Raymond Lam and Starway Technology are world-famous and are a super IP.
At this time, we can openly use the two super IPs "Lin Feng" and "Xingtu Technology", and when the related works are released, they will definitely attract a lot of attention.
If the quality of their works is reliable, they will surely become an instant hit, and it is not impossible for them to become popular all over the world.
Thinking of the huge benefits after success, they really love Lin Feng, this generous boss.
Due to their excitement, Lin Feng and Starway Technology could not help but be quite excited in the following stories.
Of course, these are just minor details after all. No matter how powerful "Lin Feng" and "Xingtu Technology" in the story of the work are, they are still fake.
The only effect of those works on Lin Feng is to provide certain experience points for the third-generation gene enhancement drugs or other future products.
So after the announcement, Lin Feng's attention was quickly diverted from this matter and he continued to implement his established plan.
However, two days later, an incident in the United States interrupted Lin Feng's plan, forcing him to focus on the incident. The Broad Institute, which had received $350 billion in financing and protection from global pharmaceutical giants and Wall Street Capital, had been conducting crazy human experiments for more than two months.
The price paid was that more than 400 AIDS patients in Africa and India died directly from human experiments, and more than 200 related people were assassinated.
They finally developed a gene-edited drug for AIDS that is somewhat harmful but indeed feasible.
The name of this AIDS gene editing specific drug is 'Bode-001 AIDS specific drug', and it uses the 'viral transformation method'.
Among them, the 'Bode-001 AIDS specific drug' is a gene-editing specific drug specifically targeting the DNA of the HIV virus and will not slightly change the genes of the injector.
Therefore, if the injector has sex with an AIDS patient again after completing the treatment, he or she will be re-infected and become an AIDS patient.
As for the technical principle, it is to use gene editing technology to edit and create an artificially edited adenovirus specifically targeting the HIV virus.
The artificially edited adenovirus is an adenovirus created through gene editing technology and does not attack or modify human cell DNA.
The main function is to lurk inside the cell, and then the adenovirus will produce a large number of guide RNAs (gRNAs) that can recognize the HIV genes and lock them.
The Cas9 protein produced simultaneously will then be guided to the target location as a "scissors", cutting the HIV gene and inactivating it, thereby preventing it from replicating and infecting new cells.
Therefore, the artificially edited adenovirus will naturally not attack normal cells and proliferate itself like traditional viruses.
This technique is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do it.
However, thanks to Star Path Genetics, which has made gene editing technology truly practical, this has provided the Broad Institute with many ideas for solving problems, and in addition, it has gained practical experience at the cost of a large number of human lives.
So from the start of the research and development project in early May to now, it took two months and at the cost of more than 5 AIDS patients dying in human experiments, they finally found a successful and feasible path.
As for why more than 200 people were killed among the more than 400 death cases?
This is because among the more than 400 cases of death in human experiments, the families of the deceased will naturally not pretend that nothing happened.
So naturally they want justice, or ask the Broad Institute for some hush money.
Under such circumstances, they naturally threatened the Broad Institute and even wanted to directly contact the media or expose the relevant news on the Internet.
Under such circumstances, the Broad Institute, or the dozens of Wall Street investment companies and global pharmaceutical giants behind the Broad Institute, will naturally not allow scandals to occur.
Therefore, under the power of capital, those family members who wanted to expose the truth or threaten the institute.
Either their house suddenly catches fire and the entire family is burned to death, or the whole family suddenly disappears mysteriously.
Under this brutal suppression, over the course of two months, a total of more than 200 people were killed in Africa and India by the capital forces behind the Broad Institute.
All I can say is that although many people appear glamorous and bright, their backs may be stained with shocking blood.
Therefore, the 'Bode-001 AIDS specific drug' developed by the Broad Institute this time is an AIDS specific drug stained with the blood of innocent people.
When the truth comes to light one day in the future, no one knows what the mentality and opinions of people around the world will be after learning the truth.
As for the 'Bode-001 AIDS specific drug' compared to the 'EBT-002 gene medical drug' of Xingtu Gene Company, which one is better or worse, which one is stronger or weaker?
