Volume 3 Summer Rain Chapter 0351 During the Flight
After dropping Jovovich off at the door of ABC TV Network, Nan Yi filled her car with gas and let Devin drive.
Nan Yi has already thought about how to help Jovovich. When he is free, he will go to her house and sign a contract with her mother. He will pay to improve her family's life. In return, when Jovovich grows up, he will make a few movies for him at a lower salary.
It doesn't have to be too low. It's enough to just recover the money he invested initially, taking inflation into account.
Nan Yi is not worried that Jovovich will breach the contract, or rather, he hopes that she will breach the contract. Then Nan Yi can let her understand what the spirit of contract is and what the consequences will be if his kindness goes to waste.
In fact, Nan Yi spent half a month inspecting the Nan family’s industries in the Kingdom of Qin, and then flew to Los Angeles on his private plane.
His private jet has been delivered. There is nothing much to say about the interior decoration, except that the materials are a bit high-end. The decoration style is just ordinary. There is simply a room set aside so that he can lie on the bed on the plane.
Another special feature is that it is equipped with three pilots: Chuck Aaron, Brandi Clint, and Sterling Hayden, all of whom are from Peace Dove.
Chuck Aaron is also Nan Yi's helicopter pilot. He was originally an anti-submarine helicopter pilot on an aircraft carrier. When he got tired of flying helicopters, he switched to flying F-18. He has carried out many missions deep behind enemy lines and is familiar with the anti-aircraft artillery and missile models of various countries.
Brandi Clint used to fly a Warthog [A-10 attack aircraft] in the Navy. Nan Yi had the idea of equipping the Peace Dove with two Warthogs, but unfortunately they are not available now. He probably has to wait until the Middle East becomes chaotic again.
Sterling Hayden's experience was rather peculiar. He was a civil aviation pilot at first, but for some unknown reason he was inspired to join the army. His idea was to join the special forces, but unfortunately because of his expertise in flying, he was assigned to fly a C-5 transport plane.
If we talk about who flies the most steadily, he has to be the one, after all, he has been flying large planes for more than ten years.
At the beginning, when the order for the plane was just placed, the three people were sent by Nan Yi to learn how to fly a passenger plane, and they were flying the Gulfstream III when they were learning. Now, they can be said to be very adept at flying Nan Yi's "Adam" Gulfstream III.
As for the flight attendants, Nan Yi had not thought about equipping the Adam with them. Although the salary of flight attendants in the country was not very high, a flight attendant with no more than five years of service in an airline would only earn about 15,000 US dollars a year, which was not much different from that of an ordinary white-collar worker.
Even if Nan Yi selects the best from the best, sometimes it still needs to provide some "special services". At most fifty or sixty thousand US dollars a year would be enough. However, it is easy to find a beautiful woman to be a stewardess, but it is difficult to find one who is tight-lipped and knows when to advance and retreat.
Instead of spending a lot of time looking for one, it is better to just forget about it. There is no need to have a flight attendant on the plane. Anyway, it is not impossible for the bodyguard around him to serve him tea or water.
When it comes to the issue of flight safety, that's even easier to explain. The bodyguards around Nan Yi have all received airborne training, and everyone Even Nan Yi has received intensive training.
As soon as Nan Yi got on the plane, he and Rachel sat next to each other. He was looking at the information about 20th Century Fox in his hand.
Nan Yi finished reading the fixed assets section quickly and turned to the copyright library. The copyrights owned by 20th Century Fox were written line by line on the document.
If the name is unfamiliar, he will just glance at it and skip it. Only if he sees a familiar name will he stop and read the introduction carefully.
There were not many copyrights that Nan Yi could take a close look at, and he only looked at three of them. One of them was "Star Wars", the copyright of which was jointly held with Disney. Judging from the terms, if either company wanted to shoot a sequel alone, they would need to give the other party considerable compensation.
This is a good IP. Although three films have been made, as long as it is expanded, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, and extra-sequels can be made at will. As long as the movies can make money, they can keep on making movies.
With the copyright of "Star Wars" in hand, the acquisition of 20th Century Fox is a sure win.
In addition to "Star Wars", Nan Yi also saw "Alien".
Nan Yi is more familiar with "Alien". He has watched this series of movies over and over again. It is unlikely that he can write the script, but he can probably describe the plot.
Just organize the plot he remembered and give it to the screenwriter of this film, Dan O'Bannon, and let him expand it. You can also find Cameron, because Nan Yi remembers that he was the one who directed "Alien 2".
If we pull this truck driver onto the red sofa's chariot, then "Titanic", "Avatar" and "True Lies" can also be pulled over as well.
By the way, I don’t know if the first “Terminator” has started filming yet. If not, I can still catch this train.
Nan Yi only remembered that "Terminator" was probably filmed in this era, but he forgot the specific year.
"Rachel, ask someone what Cameron is doing recently." Nan Yi said to Rachel beside him.
"Adam, you want to make a movie with him?" Rachel asked.
"I have this idea. Is there any channel to inquire?"
"Yes, I'll go and ask as soon as I get off the plane."
"good."
Nan Yi nodded and continued to look through the information in his hand.
Then, there were no copyrights worthy of Nan Yi's attention in the copyright library. Only "Cleopatra" and "The Sound of Music" were interesting. The movie "Cleopatra" almost bankrupted 20th Century Fox, which was considered 20th Century Fox's Waterloo.
"The Sound of Music" once left a deep mark in the history of film, but unfortunately, it did not bring much revenue to 20th Century Fox.
However, having two IPs, "Star Wars" and "Alien", is enough. These two IPs are estimated to bring over 10 billion US dollars in revenue to 20th Century Fox.
As for how much profit there will be, it is impossible to estimate it now.
After reading all the information, Nan Yi said to Rachel, "Do you have a favorite candidate for the president of Red Sofa Entertainment?"
"internal?"
“You can also dig from outside.”
"I don't think there is one from within. If we can hire someone from outside, I prefer Barry Diller. If we can hire him from Paramount to be the president, he will definitely lead Red Sofa to a good path."
"Barry Diller..."
Nan Yi searched for information about him in his mind, but only found a few words. He only remembered that this man should be a wealthy man on the wealth list of the country, but as to whether he was one now or in the future, he didn't know.
It is even possible that the Barry Diller in his memory is not the Barry Diller that Rachel mentioned.
"I'm not familiar with this person. Do you have any information about him?"
"Yes, but I didn't take it on the plane."
"Oh, then have someone fax it to you after you get off the plane."
"OK."
"Is there anyone else suitable besides him?"
"There are several, but I think Barry Diller is the best choice for the red sofa, I firmly believe that."
"Oh, after hearing what you said, I'm becoming more and more interested in Barry Diller. What are his strengths that make you so determined?"
"Adam, after you read the information, I believe you will think so too."
"Okay, let's discuss this topic later."
