American TV series

Chapter 331 Naval Battle!

The first words the new big boss said when he came up made Bunian Rupert lose his mind.

You, at least cover it up!

I don't know how to answer the call at all.

"However, I know Batman, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman. They are very sexy. We can draw more works like this, and the people will like to see them."

"Oh, and Superman wears his underwear outside." Sean looked at Bunian Rupert with interest, "Can you tell me why Superman wears his underwear outside?"

Bunian Rupert looked at Sean blankly, not knowing how to answer at all.

But I just think this look looks good. There are so many reasons why!

"Is it because outer pants are cooler than underwear?" After Sean said this, he burst out laughing. Bunian Rupert felt even more embarrassed, as if he was looking at a psycho.

DC, it’s over!

It’s over!

"Why don't you laugh?" Sean's laughter stopped suddenly and he tilted his head to look at Bunian Rupert.

Bunian Rupert looked confused and forced a smile that looked like he was crying.

"No sense of humor at all!" Sean curled his lips, "I will not interfere with the specific development of DC."

"I will leave you with some framework. The superheroes who have been taken off the streets will be left blank and unfinished, waiting for the next story that finds a way to activate them."

"Sir, this..." Bunian Rupert opened his mouth to refute, but Sean waved his hand to stop him: "Bai must be kept well, and there must be a lot of leeway. Every superhero is wealth, and they all belong now.

Me, I will never let my wealth die easily."

"If there is no suitable way to develop new superheroes, let them appear in other comics first and do a test. Whether it is trial and error or something else, the work of promoting new ones cannot be stopped."

"Third, we should organize a collection to collect good stories from readers. Those with original paintings are best. It doesn't matter if they don't have them. As long as they have characteristics, stories, characters, etc., we can help publish them or put them in other comics.

, or a separate short story, or a separate magazine, whatever you want."

"I call this an audition. Set up an editorial department. The new department should not be full of old guys with old-fashioned ideas. It should have new people. Once you decide to help publish, sign a good contract and don't leave some unnecessary ones.

trouble."

"Fourth, Justice League, hey, did you remember everything I said?" Sean asked when he saw Bunian Rupert in a daze.

"Yes, yes, of course I have written it down, sir." Bunian Rupert nodded quickly. He did not expect Sean to suddenly say that he would delegate power, "Auditions, this matter will increase a lot of expenses. The editor who reviews the manuscript,

Legal issues, new magazines or adding stories, publishing issues, etc., require a lot of money, and they may not have any effect. Comics is a very professional issue."

Bunian Rupert was opposed to it in his heart. He didn't think ordinary people knew anything about comics.

He couldn't imagine what those people would mail.

"You know comics very well, so why is DC dying now?" Sean looked at Bunian Rupert with drooped eyebrows.

Bunian Rupert: “…”

His face turned red when he said this, and he didn't know how to refute it at all. However, this was due to the general environment!

The cost of labor and printing is getting higher and higher, the price of comics is also rising, and TV media is becoming more and more developed. Many people prefer to watch animations, which are far more expressive than comics themselves.

"I'm a capitalist, and what I want to hear is not bullshit processes and efforts, but results, understand?" Sean's face was cold, and Bunian Rupert was somewhat breathless under the pressure of the superior.

"Since it is going downhill, it means that your original style is no longer good and you can no longer attract people!"

"The comic style needs to be changed to a certain extent to re-adapt to the market and become more handsome and cool. Look at the pop music and film circles. Nowadays, people like handsome guys and beautiful girls."

"Appearance is justice, and stinky superheroes are not as attractive as beautiful and sexy villains!"

"Go and try, try a new path, or else wait for death on this current path!" Sean snorted, "If you can do it, just tell me the result."

"Yes!" Bunian Rupert said quickly. When it came to work, he immediately changed his attitude. If he was not at DC, why not go to Marvel to help his old enemy?

"Just understand!" Sean nodded with satisfaction, "Just prepare as I said."

After sending away Bunian Rupert, Sean brought in Katzenberg.

"Next year's shooting plan includes your two cartoons, "Instinct 2" and the "Home Alone" series. In addition, relying on your animation production department, prepare to shoot DC superhero cartoons. After the shooting is completed, they will be sold to

The TV station broadcasts it and has developed such good technology and team, but it would be a waste to use all of it to make animated films."

"You should communicate with Bunian Rupert about what to shoot specifically. No adaptation is needed. Try your best to restore the comics, such as Batman. The pictures should be handsome and cool."

"The TV market will develop faster and faster in the future. Wherever the market is, we must take a bite."

"Okay, I understand." Katzenberg agreed immediately and used the same team that produces animated films to produce animations. Technically, it was overkill and the company had sufficient funds, so there was no problem.

"Question about the release of 'Thelma and Louise,' summer release?" Katzenberg asked.

"Let's go earlier in the summer season. This is not a big production, and it's hard to beat those blockbusters." Sean thought for a while and said, "Don't worry too much about publicity. I'll go back and give instructions to New Century.

A month before its release, the film was dedicated to hyping up the issue of women’s oppression.”

"Collect more things about women's oppression across the country, pull them out and hype them up, stir up emotions, and then fund women's rights organizations to take action. When the time comes, release it while it's hot, and you'll definitely get a good film and a good box office.

.”

After hearing what Sean said, Katzenberg felt a little tense and stretched out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth. He didn't express any objection.

This kind of publicity method is definitely more effective than ordinary publicity.

It's all facts, and there's no fraud. Well, there's no problem, Katzenberg said to himself.

"In addition, please spread the word that DC superheroes can be used as game characters, and interesting game companies can come and contact us."

"Finally, I want the editorial department to come up with a script about Catwoman. I don't want just one version. I want everyone to come out with a version. We will consider it all in the end."

At this point, Sean's affairs in Los Angeles are almost done.

After resting for another two days, several women came over and played with each other vigorously, and then Sean got on the plane and left.

…

"Mr. Sean, please come this way."

"This is Prince Chun's Mansion, a larger palace in the Qing Dynasty. It was once the residence of Nalan Pearl and Yongxuan. In 1872, Prince Chun Yixuan became the owner of the house, and the last emperor Puyi was born here."

"Later, in 1963, Ms. Song XX moved in and lived there for 19 years. After her death in 1982, this place became her former residence and became a cultural protection unit, open to the public."

Prince Chun's Mansion and Garden are located at No. 44 and No. 46 on the north edge of Houhai, XC District. The mansion faces south and covers an area of ​​nearly 40,000 square meters. The mansion is composed of three courtyards in the middle, east and west. There is Yin'an Hall, the back

Towers, ancestral halls, Buddhist halls, etc. To the west of the mansion is a garden with green pines and cypresses and green grass. A bay of clear water flows through the garden. Pavilions and pavilions are distributed along the lake. In the noisy and huge city of Yanjing,

A comfortable and quiet garden is formed in the center.

Sean came to Yanjing again. As an old friend of the Chinese people, it is not too much to buy a mansion in Yanjing to settle down, right?

Not too much at all!

So after today's scene, with the approval from above, the staff took Sean to visit the large mansions in Yanjing City.

Originally, Sean wanted to buy Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince Yong's Mansion (Yonghegong), Prince Qing's Mansion, Prince Li's Mansion, Prince Zheng's Mansion, Prince Chun's Mansion, Prince Su's Mansion, and Prince Rui's Mansion.

Of course, it’s not because housing prices in Yanjing are cheap at this time, but mainly because I like Chinese culture, I like it, I like it very much!

But the superiors did not agree...

Sean feels very sorry!

Sean could only settle for the next best thing. After some on-the-spot investigation and discussion, he finally set his target on Prince Chun's Mansion.

Over 40,000 square meters, it’s a bit small, so let’s make do!!

Song XX can live in it, and I, Sean, can live in it too!

After just looking around, Sean fell in love with it.

Xicheng, Houhai, a 40,000-square-meter garden. Good guy, Sean feels dreamy. After 40 years, even his other businesses have been lost, and only this garden is left.

It was confiscated...cough cough cough.

In 1987, housing prices were so low that it was almost impossible to see them.

After seeing Prince Chun's Mansion, Sean was attracted to it. The only question left was the price. How much is the appropriate price per square meter?

According to the current housing prices in Yanjing, even for commercial real estate, the price per square meter will not be 500 yuanmei coins.

However, considering that Sean is an American capitalist and not a people's entrepreneur, he will definitely need more money.

Doubling it, doubling it again, doubling it again...the amount was increased step by step, and when it was finally delivered to Sean, Mr. Li sitting in front of him was a little embarrassed.

One square meter cost Sean 1,000 U.S. dollars!

It is not allowed to be demolished and rebuilt. It must be modified and modified while maintaining the original style.

A mansion was sold for US$40 million, and Mr. Li felt embarrassed.

Even adding the 1 billion in cash that Sean sent last time, the national treasury only has 3 billion in foreign exchange reserves.

Sean looked down at the numbers above and wanted to laugh, but he held it back in the end. It was so cheap, can you believe it?

"Mr. Sean, if you think it's expensive..."

"No, we are all friends!" Sean signed without saying anything, "If other palaces can also sell it, I really don't mind buying a few more sets."

Seeing Sean being so straightforward, Mr. Li blinked his eyes. Could it be that it was sold cheaply?

It can't be!

The price was increased after many rounds of negotiations. In the end, everyone felt it was too much and too bullying.

A higher price than this?

Capitalists are not so crazy!

That must be the reactionaries... dead, dead!

After winning Prince Chun's Mansion, Sean seemed to have won a big toy. He was very happy. He communicated with the government and invited the best ancient building restoration team in the country to help renovate the palace.

This is a big project. It requires digging out the sewer system, electricity and network systems, and installing electrical appliances, but it must not be obtrusive or damage the original structure.

The walls need to be repainted and painted, the murals need to be maintained, the gardens need to be renovated, and the water in the pond needs to be changed. There is too much work.

The original furniture needs to be refurbished, but many of the antiques, porcelain, paintings and calligraphy are no longer there, so Sean needs to buy new ones.

The good thing is that you have experts following you, so you don’t have to worry about being confused.

The downside is that most of the antiques on the market are illegal…

Let the experts sent by the government see the objects in the market that should have been preserved in museums in various places. It is still true that it is a bit ugly.

Sean doesn't care about what happens behind the scenes.

All he needs to do is receive good things.

In order to show off, Sean also called Le Huizhen and Nakamori Akina to Yanjing to open their eyes.

Well, literally.

Sean had been tinkering with enthusiasm for more than half a month until the 36 pieces on the east side were ready.

On the freighter, Sean transferred an armed helicopter from the umbrella side. The Sea Cobra, fully armed, specially built a temporary helicopter platform on the freighter.

Not dispatching battleships is tantamount to telling others that there is something wrong with the ship.

Helicopters are better, they are concealed. If a problem cannot be solved by an armed helicopter, it will definitely encounter another country's fleet.

…

I don’t know whether it was bad luck or retribution, but this cargo ship, carrying 36 missiles, 12 launch vehicles, a large amount of equipment and more than 500 officers and soldiers, encountered pirates just after it passed Natuna Island.

The speedboat was scurrying on the sea, and you could see a group of guys in rags waving guns in their hands and shouting. Although they couldn't understand what they were shouting in the sea breeze, they were still quite intimidating.

Well, more than 500 officers and soldiers had very strange expressions when they learned that they had encountered pirates. They all frowned and thought about what they would look like when the pirates climbed onto the ship and saw more than 500 fully armed soldiers...

It must be very exciting!

Quite curious!

After all, there was no answer. In the astonished eyes of several speedboats, an armed helicopter rose into the sky, cut sideways across the sea and rushed towards them.

At this moment, the pirates were in a devastated mood.

In this line of work, it's like licking blood with the tip of a knife. It looks like it's a merchant ship, but who knows who's on board.

Neither Hellfire nor rockets were used. The cannon was turned on and "chugging..." streaked across the sea. The water splashed more than 2 meters high, and a speedboat was directly torn into pieces.

Turn around and continue. On the last two speedboats, the pirates jump directly into the sea.

On the vast sea, if you are lucky enough to survive jumping into the sea, you will be beaten to pieces on the boat!

After passing Malacca, it was smooth sailing.

According to normal history, the news had actually been leaked when the missiles were delivered to Saudi Arabia.

The United States dispatched an aircraft carrier fleet to follow them. Planes followed them in the sky, and warships surrounded them below.

The Eastern representatives on board were all ready to die together.

However, in the end, the US did not really force the inspections to stop.

As for hiding something after arriving at the port, that is all just a show. How can you hide something that is more than 20 meters long when it is transported?

There was a tense situation afterwards. At one point, they had to withdraw their diplomats from each other, and Saudi Arabia wanted to stop selling oil to the United States.

In the end, in order to avoid a new oil crisis, and to prevent the situation in the Middle East from deteriorating further and allowing the Soviet Union to take the opportunity to intervene in Saudi Arabia's political situation, Reagan on the American side compromised.

The petrodollar still needs the support of the big bucks in the Middle East, and the leader, King Fahd, still has some confidence.

Of course, this time because Sean was involved, it didn't end up being so tense.

By the way, the aircraft carrier fleet that originally surrounded the transport ship was performing escort operations in the Persian Gulf. Now this operation has become a protective umbrella.

So as soon as the transport ship entered the Persian Gulf, the umbrella fleet escorted it.

The sudden mobilization of troops and a cargo ship without an American flag immediately attracted the attention of the YL people.

YL's aircraft quickly caught up, followed by a group of battleships.

Directly shouting on the radio to stop the cargo ship, they want to inspect it.

All the weapon systems on the Umbrella warship were in standby state, and they pretended not to hear anything.

It's obvious that the battleship is guarding against the YL people.

As for why, it must be that the freighter is carrying something that will pose a major threat to YL, otherwise it would never be so strict!

Sean was very doubtful whether the US aircraft carrier fleet was monitoring and inspecting or protecting...

The closer they got to Saudi Arabia, the more impatient the YL military became. Half an hour later, F-14 fighter jets flew over the umbrella battleship group.

"What should I do?" Robert looked at Sean, and there was another communication request to access.

"Ignore them!" Sean snorted, "I'm not going to YL. It's none of their business. I really think I'm a big country!"

This silent attitude completely made YL people anxious!

The two armed helicopters circled in a circle and then rushed straight towards the front of the fleet.

Of course, even if Sean agrees to access the communication, he cannot agree to the other party coming up for inspection. The final result will probably not be any different.

The two armed helicopters aimed at the direction of the warship's movement and opened fire, drawing two water walls on the sea in an attempt to force the warship to stop.

Sean ignored it at all and ordered to continue rushing.

If you have the ability, just fucking open fire and see who is afraid of whom!

Seriously speaking, when two big countries on the sea meet, they compete for courage, so they collide with each other. Whoever hides will be the grandson.

In 1997, two warships from Nanhai and Dongying met on the sea.

The British have always liked to cause trouble, show off their muscles, show off their toughness, and at that time they also wanted to destroy something.

Dongfang drove the British warships away from our waters, but the other side ignored them completely, and the two sides collided directly.

They all did not flinch, and their momentum was tragic.

At the last moment, the British,

I peed again...I was chased by my butt and kicked out.

Whether it's a collision with a plane or a battleship, the first thing I'm afraid of is rabbits!

The second is the book, the pig surprise tactic sweeps across Asia, and the established empires should not take advantage of them.

YL is obviously far behind in terms of sexual education, and Sean expresses disdain for their behavior of only daring to shoot into the sea.

Just when Sean was disdainful, and he didn't know whether it was due to an operational error or because he was mad, one of YL's Sea Cobra cannons deviated from its direction and suddenly turned around and swept towards the freighter.

Seeing this scene, Sean suddenly shouted, "Kill him!!"

"Swish swish"

"Da da da da da da"

Three Sea Sparrows and two Phalanx were aimed at YL's armed helicopter and swept directly over it.

"Boom, boom, boom" the flames shot up into the sky. This time, there was no chance for the plane to crash, and it was directly exploded in the air.

The YL side was stunned. They thought that the protective umbrella would block them and they would fight back, but the most they could do was force them back with a Phalanx formation. If they thought more harshly, they would aim at the helicopter and hit them, but they wouldn't be able to avoid it.

This is a test to test Sean's attitude.

Determine the importance of the items on the freighter based on their reactions.

The result is that the test has come out, which is of great value and a great threat!

The situation is serious!

Gritting his teeth, the commander directly ordered the other helicopter to escape quickly. At the same time, the F-14 in the air distanced itself and prepared to launch Harpoon missiles.

Harpoon, sold in the United States!

Seeing a few F-14s suddenly flying away on the radar, Sean curled his lips and said, "Then what the hell were you doing just now? Just to send a plane to me and blow it up to see if the effect is gorgeous enough?"

Robert stared at the planes above the radar, his eyes becoming more and more solemn, and for a long time he said, "No, this is a battle formation!"

"Huh!?" Sean was stunned.

The four F14s spread a distance of more than 30 kilometers, which was beyond the range of ordinary anti-aircraft missiles, and then suddenly turned around. Robert's face suddenly changed, "Everyone, be careful, be alert to missile attacks, and prepare all interception systems!"

"Damn it!" Sean was startled. He didn't know who the four F-14s were targeting, but this sentence told him that the other party was probably aiming at the cargo ship.

That is absolutely not possible!

"Knock these bastards down for me!" Sean's face turned red and he roared angrily.

Robert did not hesitate and immediately executed the order.

Who knows how many missiles are mounted on those four aircraft? If they are all harpoons, they will definitely not be able to intercept them all if they are fired at them!

And once the freighter is bombed, the consequences will be disastrous. It is equivalent to detonating a small nuclear bomb, and everyone will have fun!

Fortunately, the escort flagship Kunz class also came this time.

If it were just the Keeling class, the battleship would only have the old-fashioned Beagle with a range of 27 kilometers, and it would not be able to hit the target at all!

The Kunz class was replaced with the more advanced Standard Type 2.

It was equipped in 1983. It adopts the composite guidance of mid-course inertial navigation plus radio command correction and terminal semi-active radar homing. It is equipped with multi-functional phased array radar and continuous wave Doppler radar. It has strong anti-interference ability and the warhead is fragmented.

Type, with a maximum range of 104 kilometers, a shooting height of 24 kilometers, and a maximum speed of 3 times the speed of sound.

The only drawback is that it’s expensive!

Quadruple standard launcher can lock 4 targets at one time.

Quickly complete the lock and launch directly!

"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"

After all, it is a good thing. The sound of firing is different from other missiles, with a smell of "beautiful sword".

Just these four swish, swish, swish sounds, and 10 million is gone!

…

(6,000 words, I feel guilty myself...but obviously the last book had this word count at this stage...could it be that my moral character has become better?)
