Chapter 303: Hot Discussion
Santa Monica Airport.
Compared to some of the other small jets in the airport, the Boeing 767-200ER is a complete behemoth.
Simon patiently read the script of Home Alone before rushing over.
Janet's hand-picked crew was still patiently waiting for him, a total of eight people, divided into two groups, each group of two pilots and two flight attendants, all Australians, and all women, which was also the result of Simont's advice. The nature of the private jet is like one of Simon's residences, and he doesn't like to be controlled by the same sex.
The four female pilots are all in their 40s, and have previously been full-time pilots for some Australian airlines, and have served in the Air Force before that, all of whom have at least 10 years of flying experience.
Simon paid a very high price to recruit these four people, in addition to the high annual salary, and the family members of the four can enjoy the benefits provided by Westeros, and they only need to work in this position for ten years before they can retire early.
The other four flight attendants are just pure vases.
After everyone introduced each other, Simon boarded the gangway and entered the cabin, and the four flight attendants followed and took the initiative to help Simon introduce the various facilities in the cabin.
Spent $15 million on renovations, every detail in the cabin was perfect.
The simple style decoration in black and white tones like piano keys, every decoration has a delicate and expensive atmosphere, living room, dining room, study, bar, bedroom, meeting room, etc., the total area of the interior for passengers to move is more than 300 square meters, and the front cabin is also a very private two-storey duplex suite, giving people the feeling of being in a real apartment.
However, after all, it is only a medium-sized airliner, and overall it is still not as spacious as Simon imagined.
Although the crew had just experienced a long sixteen-hour flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles, Simon still had the feeling of impatience after just getting his toys and ordered the plane to take off again, making a round trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Cersei Capital's operations on the U.S. junk bond market continued, and Janet didn't come to Los Angeles with her.
Simon also has a lot to deal with recently, and the two agreed to meet again after mid-November, when they will probably fly to Finland first and completely take over Nokia's mobile communications equipment division.
The next day is Friday, November 3.
Simon was rarely woken up by the ringing of the phone, just after five o'clock in the morning.
James Raybould from the East Coast called, and the photos of the Boeing 767 that Simon had just received yesterday had appeared in several East Coast newspapers, and James had faxed some newspapers later. To keep a low profile, the Boeing 767 did not have any Simon-related logos on it, and it looked like a commercial airliner.
However, the only Boeing 767 parked on the Santa Monica runway in the photo is clearly Simon's car, as all the footage of Simon's meeting with the crew and then boarding the plane yesterday afternoon was filmed.
Several articles generally introduce the incident in a gossipy tone, but there are also people who criticize Simon's extravagant behavior.
Private jets are very common in the West, but there are not many Boeing 767 medium-sized passenger planes with a nuclear capacity of two or three hundred people as private vehicles, the famous Air Force One is completely a state machine, and the head of state of the Middle East oil power relies on the state to provide for it.
Immediately, the newspapers on the West Coast after dawn also appeared about Simon's private jet.
Santa Monica Airport is really not big, and the secrecy is not very good, hearing that more media rushed over to take more photos of the Westeros flying car after hearing the news, Simon hurriedly ordered the crew to lift the Boeing 767 into the air and temporarily fly to San Francisco and dock in the San Jose cabin.
In addition, Santa Monica Airport was apparently no longer a suitable place to store the aircraft, and after considering it, Simon asked people to contact LAX to rent a hangar there to store his plane.
Compared to Santa Monica Airport, Los Angeles International Airport has hundreds of large and small aircraft docking at any time, and there is no special thing about one Boeing 767.
Simon hid his Boeing 767 out of a deep-rooted instinct not to show richness, and the media discussion became more lively, and the voices criticizing Simon's extravagance and waste unconsciously became a little more numerous, and finally the public relations departments of Westeros and Daenerys Entertainment had to start to put out the fire.
In such a bustle, the second week of the North American Halloween schedule has quietly ended.
After the box office of $31.77 million in the first full week, the box office of "Scream 2" fell by 33% the next week, and it collected another $21.29 million, with a total box office of $53.06 million in two weeks. Compared with the first part, although the sequel fell deeply in the second week, the box office data of more than $50 million in two weeks also exceeded many people's expectations.
The two-week box office of films such as "Alien Monsters" released at the same time is generally less than that of "Scream 2".
At the same time, on November 10, "Scream 2" is still being screened, and another new film "My Left Foot" from Daenerys Entertainment's Gaomen Pictures was quietly released.
"My Left Foot" only won one Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival in the first half of the year, but it still attracted a lot of attention, and Ella Deutchman also attached great importance to this film under Simon's explanation, and chose the schedule on November 10 to impact next year's Oscars.
As a film destined to take a long-term reflection strategy, the opening scale of "My Left Foot" is far from being compared with "Scream 2", with only 112 screens in the first week, which is still in accordance with the radial distribution model that Gaomen Pictures has summarized, and the first batch of reactions is only concentrated in major core cities in North America.
Moreover, "My Left Foot" is actually not the focus of Daenerys Entertainment's public relations at this year's Oscars.
"Driving for Miss Daisy", which is expected to be released in December, is, therefore, choosing to be released in November, the box office of "My Left Foot" will mainly rely on the nomination of the film to accumulate the box office. As for "Driving for Miss Daisy", Simon has already seen the finished film of the film, and the quality is no different from the original.
In addition, the biggest advantage of "Driving for Miss Daisy" is that the two leading actors in the film are both old people, and the story of two old people is also told, which will definitely be very much in line with the preferences of the Oscar group of elderly judges.
In addition to the movie, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" video game released by Daenerys Entertainment's Blizzard Studios has gradually attracted the attention of the media. ()
