Taking advantage of his current free time, Zhao Ye plans to create some new super IPs.
He first typed the following on the computer:

Games: Minecraft, KartRider, Dungeon Fighter Online, Grand Theft Auto, PUBG, League of Legends, Devil May Cry, A Chinese Odyssey, Genshin Impact, Dead Space, Call of Duty, Halo, Destiny, Cyberpunk 2077, Star Citizen.
"So many IPs, it's simply overwhelming!" Zhao Ye looked at the densely packed content and couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to himself, "If I were to create all this IP content, how long would it take?"
But others don't know how to create this kind of IP content!
After thinking it over, Zhao Ye set a plan for himself: to write one IP every two weeks.
You can write 2 IPs per month, which is 24 IPs per year.
Of course, Zhao Ye only laid out the general framework of the IP; the specific content still needs to be improved by more professional personnel.
With so many super IPs, how could Wujiang Group's entertainment industry not develop!
...
...
Shanghai Animation Film Studio.
"Chairman Zhao, I think that if we keep criticizing Marvel superheroes, it might offend American Marvel fans and cause comic book sales to drop!"
“I know you don’t care about money, Mr. Zhao, and you don’t mind if Marvel comics sales drop, but this is not good for us to export Chinese culture to the United States.”
"The better Marvel's sales are, the more beneficial it will be for us to leverage this success to launch our own Chinese superheroes and promote Chinese culture!"
Creative Director Chen Wenhan then approached Zhao Ye and shared his ideas.
Zhao Ye pondered for a moment, then nodded, indicating his agreement with the other party's point of view.
“Yes, what you said makes sense. We can’t just criticize Marvel. Marvel is a great platform, and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio can ‘borrow a chicken to lay eggs’ and incubate our own superheroes! The better Marvel does, the more viewers will see our own superheroes and gradually accept them!” Zhao Ye said.
“Yes, Chairman Zhao, that’s exactly what I mean! Also, I have some ideas about creating our own superheroes…” Chen Wenhan said.
"Oh, tell me about it!" Zhao Ye said with a smile, gesturing for Chen Wenhan to continue.
“Chairman Zhao, this is what I’m thinking… For many foreigners, Chinese Kung Fu is very mysterious and powerful, so our superhero could be a martial arts master!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Director Chen, American superheroes are either mutants or high-tech, while our country's superheroes only know martial arts. Isn't that a bit too weak?"
Chen Wenhan laughed and said, "Chairman Zhao, the martial arts I'm talking about aren't the traditional martial arts in our real lives, but the kung fu in martial arts novels. Let's say a master who knows Lingbo Weibu, Six Meridian Divine Sword, and acupoint striking is much more powerful than Spider-Man, isn't he?"
"If it were made into a movie in the future, wouldn't it be more interesting to add a lot of kung fu elements to the Marvel movies?"
"Most importantly, this will make many foreigners interested in Chinese Kung Fu, and even encourage them to travel to China to learn from its masters..."
"In addition, the film can incorporate elements of traditional Chinese medicine from the martial arts world, such as using magical internal energy to heal injuries and acupuncture, which would definitely amaze foreigners. This would also benefit Wujiang Group in selling traditional Chinese medicine worldwide in the future."
Chen Wenhan spoke eloquently.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded inwardly.
Chinese Kung Fu is very attractive to foreigners. If the Kung Fu from martial arts novels were brought to the screen, wouldn't foreigners be dumbfounded?
Is Chinese Kung Fu really that awesome?
Chen Wenhan paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, besides martial arts masters, superheroes can also be mythical or supernatural figures, and we can even play with mutations and high technology... However, I think superheroes who know Chinese kung fu might be more popular and intriguing to foreigners."
After Chen Wenhan finished speaking, he picked up his water glass, took a sip, and looked at Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye laughed and said, "Director Chen, your idea is excellent. Let's do it your way. We'll try launching one or two Chinese superheroes first and see if Marvel fans can accept them. At the same time, we can choose a Marvel superhero for a film or television adaptation. Oh, and we also need to buy back some well-known superhero characters. If we make this Marvel project a hit, the companies that own Marvel characters will reap the benefits and create new competitors!"
