America's Big Hero

The corner of Sean's mouth twitched, Apache, do you think you are a Chinese cabbage? That stuff is so expensive!

The Apache is an armed helicopter, and the Black Hawk is also an armed helicopter, and their functions are completely different.

The Black Hawk is a multi-purpose aircraft, capable of transportation, support, and reconnaissance.

But the Apache is a pure combat helicopter, with much better firepower output and battlefield perspective!

In terms of firepower, the Black Hawk and Apache seem small, but the Apache can hang air combat ammunition, and has a strong counterattack ability when encountering enemy air targets.

The Apache is smaller with only two drivers, but it has better bulletproof performance, is faster when fully loaded, and has more than three times the lateral and longitudinal speed of the Black Hawk.

In other words, whether it is attacked from the ground or from the air, the Apache's survival probability is several times that of the Black Hawk.

This is why Dennis said that the Black Hawk was looking for death when he went up, and he couldn't come back after he went.

"Keelin is still small, and there is only one helicopter space, and the Black Hawk is also used by the Black Hawk. Fast maneuvering, transportation and delivery capabilities are also necessary on the battlefield." Robert also added, "And, if you want to use tanks , armored vehicles transported into the Persian Gulf, then, we also need transport ships."

Sean's face turned dark on the spot, alright, but you guys spent money, you dare to open your mouth when your upper lip touches your lower lip, right?

How much money can afford you to make it like this!

I take orders from Iraq to make money, okay?

"Hahahaha." Leighton Stevens laughed loudly, "Everyone, don't be so excited. We don't know what Iraq needs. Maybe they just need our help to transport something. Who knows."

Xiao En and the others looked at each other and laughed. Everyone was a little excited when they received the news.

Participating in a war between major powers in a private capacity makes people feel,

Qian Hai is boiling!

Of course, this big country needs to be put in quotation marks, at most it is a regional power.

With so many countries in the world, in terms of war capabilities, only the United States, the Soviet Union, and China are at the same level, and Britain and France are at the same level. If they go down, they will disappear.

It's not much better than Playing House, which is why Xiao En dared to agree to participate without hesitation.

To put it bluntly, look down on them...

Chapter 224: Winning is numb!

In the living room of Universal Building, Fatty Harvey met Universal President Sidney Sheinberg.

Sidney Sheinberg is 50 years old, wears black glasses, has a clean shaven beard, and has a cute smile.

Sidney Sheinberg is one of the most successful presidents of Universal. He originally worked in MCA, Music Corporation of America. After MCA annexed Universal, he became the president of Universal.

Before he took the stage, Universal could only live on its laurels. After he took the stage, he successively produced films such as "Jaws", "ET Alien", "Moonlight Panic", and brought Universal back to the front line of Hollywood.

Of course, this is not the reason why he is known as the most successful president. The real reason is that he sold Universal and MCA to the Japanese for 66 billion, which made the Japanese hard.

"Mr. Sidney, I am here on behalf of Sean Films. You know, I released the movie "Basic Instinct"." This meeting was more formal, and Harvey directly stated his purpose.

"I know, and then?" Sidney Sheinberg's face became serious when talking about the business.

"Maybe we did hit the same date, but, I think..."

"What?" Sidney said coldly.

"Isn't this a bit too much? We can compete normally, what do you think, Mr. Sidney?"

"Excessive!" Sidney Sheinberg's face became a little ugly, "I see that you are the ones who are excessive!"

"Universal's release plan was set a long time ago. It's you, remember, it's you who chose this date to bump into it!"

"The major companies, with so many movies released, why did they deliberately bump into Universal?"

"Or, if you think Universal is no longer good enough, you can bully it as you please!"

Speaking of this, Sidney Sheinberg was very angry. When he received "Basic Instinct" and "Falcon Condor" at the beginning, he just felt annoyed. Later, he heard that Sean Pictures' When the super-big production "Die Hard" actually collided with "Soldier from Heaven" again, everyone was furious.

One can be said to be a coincidence, but two in a row?

Is this because they are not pleasing to the eyes of Universal, and come up to attack Universal? !

Who gave them the guts!

I think the oldest film company in Hollywood is easy to bully.

Still think MCA is easy to bully?

Or maybe he thinks Sidney Sheinberg is a bully!

Anyone who occupies the pit and is about to shit, will be furious if someone suddenly comes up next to him and wants to occupy half of the pit.

A stick of rice sticks to your face!

Hearing what Sidney Sheinberg said, Harvey quickly shook his head to express that he didn't mean it, and everything was a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding? Are you trying to say that you didn't know that the two films in the same period belonged to Universal?" Sidney Sheinberg sneered, and he wouldn't believe it.

"Uh..." Harvey looked embarrassed. He always thought he could speak well on weekdays, but now, he really didn't know how to say it.

Can he say that Boss Xiao deliberately chose Universal after reviewing all the films produced and distributed by major companies this year?

Huh...?

Harvey was a little dazed, as if Sean really bumped into it on purpose!

He didn't dare to say that. If he did, Sidney might not have strangled him on the spot.

He could only keep saying that it was a misunderstanding, that there was absolutely no need to do this, that it was a kind of harm to Universal, and that he would check to see if something went wrong when he went back, and then come to Sidney to communicate.

Sidney saw that Fatty Ha subdued, and his attitude improved.

Leaving from Universal, Harvey looked distressed. He had to meet and explain this matter clearly to Sean.

……

"Did I bully him on purpose?" Sean looked at Harvey who was chasing him in a daze, "Do I have any?"

"Mr. Sean, do you still remember what you said when you selected the schedule?" Harvey asked helplessly.

Sean blinked his eyes, took a sip of the milk Diane handed over, and tilted his head to recall.

"Universal is filming what the hell. It's been a fucking year. If it weren't for Spielberg to support them, I think Universal is about to go bankrupt."

"Sidney Sheinberg? A person who engages in music dishonestly engages in his own music and films, isn't that bullshit?"

"The seven major companies, Universal and the fucking Disney are fighting each other, and one is worse than the other."

"Don't mess with the others, just go to Universal, just watch them arrange the screening!"

Well, Sean couldn't help scratching his head when he recalled what he said that day.

It seems that I really feel that Universal is easy to bully, and then take the initiative to bump into it.

"But damn, they are really rubbish!" Sean spread his hands, with a weird expression, helpless, and funny.

"They are such rubbish, if you don't bully them, who am I to bully!"

"You can only cut flesh from Universal."

"Just tell me what Universal has been like in the past ten years."

In the past ten years, just last year in 1985, Universal did well. One "Back to the Future" won the box office championship, and one "Out of Africa" ​​took the sixth place in the box office list. But last year, Sean's first electric shock " The Bank Robbery took fourth place.

Going forward, in the three years of 84, 83, and 82, there was only one Spielberg's "ET Aliens", and then there was no more, losing money!

It looked good in 81, and it had a second place at the box office, but it was released, and the movie was made by Jane Fonda and his daughter.

Then, there was no more. In 75, Spielberg gave Universal a "Jaws", and in 78 "Jaws 2", and for so many years left, Universal did almost nothing.

"Then what should we do now? President Sidney is very annoyed, indeed, if we bump into each other this time, if Universal doesn't say anything..." Harvey shook his head, he was not optimistic about Universal's movie today, at least he watched "French Open Condor".

Hmm, predictable garbage.

Losing money this year, and then being ridden on the head by Sean Films to shit and pee without any response, Sidney will just wait to resign.

"Fuck you." Sean scratched his head irritably, he really didn't want to change gears.

Movies are not only filmed and released, but also human.

He was still thinking about things in Iraq, and the issue of distribution came up again.

"Fatty man, you can't fucking do this thing well, what's the use of me asking you to release it!" Sean was in a irritated mood, pointing at Harvey and scolding, "I might as well give Universal a Save face, let them issue it to me!"

Harvey bowed his head, not daring to say anything, the date was set by you, and you are scolding me now...

"Co-published with Universal, he will share half of the publishing fee!" Sean said with a look of displeasure.

"Here, more than half of it is only 1% of the distribution fee. Universal won't ask for that amount of money. Isn't that a beggar on your knees?" Harvey smiled wryly.

He would rather lose some money, but Universal would not be so ashamed.

Such a precedent cannot be set.

Damn it, Sean scolded, "You'd better give me that idea, otherwise, don't open your broken company and merge it directly."

The corner of Harvey's mouth twitched, and he said for a while: "Either you look at this, first privately promote "Die Hard" and continue to collide with Universal, and then I will publicly say that those are rumors in a few days, and "Die Hard" will avoid it. Universal, it can be regarded as a softening for Universal."

Sean tilted his head and stared at Harvey, staring at Harvey, breaking out in cold sweat, "Sidney's face is face, and mine is not face."

"I don't mean that." Harvey waved his hand quickly.

"I don't care what you mean, "Basic Instinct" is ready, and the schedule cannot be changed. At most, "Die Hard" will be postponed due to the increase in post-production time." Sean waved his hand domineeringly, "How much do you want me to do? The distribution fee of tens of millions, you can't fucking sell it for my face!"

"Find out the rest on your own. Whether you bribe Sidney or exchange other benefits, I don't care."

"That's it, you go out."

Harvey left with a depressed face, and Sean was also in a bad mood. In his opinion, the fat man was a little confused and too greedy.

Now I still need Harvey's distribution capabilities in North America, especially the distribution of videotapes after the release, secondary screenings in small local cinemas, etc., after I have built up distribution capabilities.

Fatty Ha has no value.

Of course, the establishment of distribution channels is not that simple.

After sending Harvey away, and absent-mindedly spending a day with Diane in New York, Sean called the phone number left there.

On the phone, the other party confirmed that it was Sean himself, and seemed very enthusiastic. Sean didn't ask who the other party was, but just communicated briefly.

Sean said, "There is nothing that can't be solved by spending money. If there is, it must be that the money is not enough."

The Iraqi side said that money is not a problem!

Money is not a problem, so Sean is even less of a problem. No matter what, Sean brought the President of the Umbrella Company, Bill Langton, consultant Leighton Stevens, and the commander of the Naval Warfare Division, the ship Robert A. Owens. Captain, Colonel Dennis Abbott, commander of the Marine Division.

A group of 5 people flew directly from New York to Ankara, the capital of Turkey.

They then flew to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, on a chartered plane from Ankara.

After the five people landed at Baghdad Airport, they found that the entire airport was under martial law. A middle-aged man in military uniform was looking at Sean who came out of the cabin with a smile on his face.

When we met, before Sean could speak, the middle-aged man in military uniform walked up enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "I'm Ali Hassan Majid, nice to meet you, Mr. Rockefeller."

Leighton Stevens whispered behind Sean: "The cousin of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, the Minister of Defense of Iraq."

"Hi, nice to meet you, Minister Ali Hassan Majid, just call me Sean, all my friends call me." Sean smiled and shook hands with the other party, correcting the address by the way.

The Rockefeller that the old guy just yelled made Sean feel a little uncomfortable.

The meaning is impure!

After all, Sean only had time to take a good look at the man in front of him, saying that the old guy was a bit too much, only in his early 40s, slightly fat, Sean remembered, and then this guy seemed to be shot.

However, that was at least 20 years later.

Cameras clicked and clicked constantly, and both of them smiled and posed for the camera.

There is a military band playing next to it, which is the same as welcoming national leaders.

Sean had no problem with Iraq sending a defense minister to greet him.

He also often squabbled with the future president, kicked it several times, and visited the current vice president several times.

The Minister of Defense of Iraq is not enough to make Sean feel flattered.

After exchanging pleasantries at the airport for a while, the group was picked up by Ali and arranged in a large villa not far from the presidential palace.

The luxury of the villa is beyond Xiao En's imagination, as long as the place that can be inlaid with gold is inlaid with gold and jewelry.

Doesn't the local tyrant gold seem too rich?

Sean didn't know, anyway, he didn't like it very much, it seemed that people in desert areas had this kind of taste since ancient times.
