Just like in the movie plot, after Dr. Erskine appeared, Steve agreed to participate in the Dr.'s plan and successfully joined the army.
However, Steve didn't feel like he had a stroke of luck; instead, he thought that Fang Yuan, who had been unreliable for so long, was finally reliable for once.
But he couldn't share his joy with Fang Yuan and Bucky for now, because after agreeing to participate in the Super Soldier program, Steve followed Dr. Erskine to a military camp in New Jersey overnight.
Since the date for the first experiment was very close, Dr. Erskine wanted Steve to receive training as soon as possible.
Of course, Bucky didn't leave alone; the next morning, Fang Yuan specifically got out of his turbulent bed to see Bucky off.
After all, if nothing unexpected happened, their next meeting would be in Europe.
Bucky was quite touched by this, feeling that Fang Yuan was actually a pretty good friend, and not as much of a jerk as Steve had said.
Fang Yuan gave a thumbs up.
He just knew it; Winter Soldier's ideological awareness was much higher than Captain America's.
As Bucky traveled overseas, Fang Yuan also began his own work.
The first item, naturally, was to establish Marvel Vought Corporation.
Fang Yuan arrived at Stark Tower in New York, went directly up to the high-rise residential area, and as he entered, he happened to bump into a clean-cut, meticulous man.
"Hi Jarvis, is Howard up yet?" he greeted proactively.
Edwin Jarvis, Howard Stark's personal butler.
"Mr. Fang."
Jarvis first politely nodded in greeting, then replied, "The Mister just woke up."
"That late?" Fang Yuan glanced at the time, then pouted at Jarvis and said, "Next time, tell your Mister not to overexert himself."
Jarvis merely smiled politely, but his attitude towards Fang Yuan remained respectful.
Although Howard usually indulged in his wild ways, he only ever brought women home. Yesterday, for the first time, he brought two men. If they hadn't slept separately, Jarvis would have genuinely worried that his boss had developed some strange new fetishes.
Although Jarvis was British, Britain at that time had not yet become the 'Fuguo' (Rotten Country) of later years, so Jarvis wasn't as open-minded.
After all, this wasn't an era where even Superman's son had to like men.
Following Jarvis's guidance, Fang Yuan met Howard, who had just finished washing up; a look of exhaustion still lingered on his face.
Seeing Fang Yuan still incredibly energetic, without the slightest hint of abnormality, Howard's eyes widened.
"My goodness, you must have gone to bed even later than me yesterday, right?" he exclaimed.
"A ten-year age difference, and the disparity is actually this great?" Howard scratched his head, "I clearly feel like my condition hasn't declined, though?"
Howard Stark is thirty years old, and Fang Yuan's identity in this World is a twenty-year-old Chinese orphan.
It's worth mentioning that Bucky and Howard are the same age, and Steve is one year younger than them.
But, as expected, with Shadow and Red Devil's abilities, Fang Yuan will still be twenty years old in another thirty years.
Of course, even with a ten-year age gap, Howard and Fang Yuan's relationship is very close. Initially, it might have been due to psychological suggestion and the [Low-Level Affinity Aura], but now Howard genuinely feels that Fang Yuan can be a friend.
As for the reason?
Birds of a feather?
Moreover, Howard wanted to learn from Fang Yuan, because he found that his ten-year advantage in playboy experience couldn't even compare to Fang Yuan's. The most crucial thing was that Fang Yuan managed his 'fish pond' without spending any money!
The admiration of a Gold player for a Challenger player naturally arose.
However, Fang Yuan brought up another matter.
"What have you decided about what I said last night?" Fang Yuan asked.
"A film company?" Howard took a sip of water to clear his muddled mind and finally remembered.
"Great idea!" His face lit up with excitement, "Making movies, leading actresses... those female stars will come running on their own!"
Fang Yuan's expression was strange; he had talked a lot about Vought Corporation yesterday, but Howard only remembered the possibility of using his position for personal gain?
But it didn't matter; at least Howard agreed to fund Fang Yuan's company.
Of course, this money was considered a loan from Fang Yuan; Howard didn't want any company shares, as he didn't care for the meager income of a film company.
Moreover, Vought Corporation could leverage Stark Industries' promotional resources, starting at a ceiling-level higher than Vought in the X-Men World.
"If we're making movies, is there anything I could act in?" Howard suddenly wondered, "What do you think about adapting comics into movies? Like Kid Colt?"
Fang Yuan used Telepathy to search Howard's memory to understand who Kid Colt was.
The protagonist of a currently popular comic, a cowboy who traveled around upholding justice.
Fang Yuan searched and found that this World, like the X-Men World, also had no DC or Marvel comics.
Although DC and Marvel often crossed over in comics, in reality, the Marvel Cinematic Universe did not feature any DC elements before Avengers 4. After all, at that time, Marvel movies were at their peak; how could they concede to their old rival?
It wasn't until Marvel started to decline that Superman was first mentioned in the universally disliked Eternal. When times are tough, you always have to try to piggyback on the competition to boost your own popularity, right?
However, that movie managed to portray a short, chubby, black gay man as the father of modern science; DC itself would probably feel unlucky to be associated with it.
Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Fang Yuan definitely had to satisfy the financier's desire to be a movie protagonist.
However, considering Howard's acting skills were likely not great, a tailor-made role would be best.
"You?"
Fang Yuan scrutinized Howard from head to toe, pondering his characteristics, then Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had a burst of inspiration.
A super-rich man, with high-tech inventions, and best of all, he also had a butler with a military background...
The most suitable role for Howard immediately came to mind.
Everyone said Howard's son resembled the old man next door, but in Fang Yuan's opinion, the background setting of Iron Man's father was clearly more similar.
"Batman?"
"What a strange name."
After hearing Fang Yuan briefly introduce the story, Howard immediately became interested: "But it seems very suitable for me."
"By day, a playboy; by night, a vigilante fighting crime, even Jarvis has a role!"
"The Batmobile? My anti-gravity car would certainly be worthy."
The more Howard listened, the more satisfied he became, praising Fang Yuan profusely: "You truly are a genius; you've tailored a role for me so quickly!"
"It's just..." Howard frowned, "I don't really like the setting of adopting a godson as a helper; changing it to Batgirl would be better."
Fang Yuan was torn between laughter and tears; it seemed Howard hadn't forgotten his original intention for making movies.
"Do you want me to arrange all the female roles to be beautiful female stars for you?" he asked.
Howard immediately became excited: "I like Irene Dunne, who do you like?"
"Ava Gardner is quite good," Fang Yuan blurted out.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with the joy of meeting a kindred spirit.
