Chapter 202: 4000 meters altitude

Time soon came to the weekend, Scarlett, who had recently been free, and Emily, who was on vacation, rushed over, Cang Yaozu actually called Jessica, but she was nervously filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", this film has live shooting, there are also many green screens, and the makeup is more complicated, so it is not an easy thing to shoot.

Charlize has gone to Australia, "The Matrix 2" has started filming, the filming of the location is mainly in Australia, and the first part of "The Matrix" is now doing post-production and special effects.

Of course, Jennifer, who is pregnant, can't go skydiving, she is not very interested in this, so the people who set off together are Scarlett, Emily, Lu Chuqing and Lu Mother Chu Hongxiu, yes, she is also going to skydive, this is really, at such an age, I hope she will not be scared to pee by then.

After meeting up with Nick Woodman and his girlfriend Jill Scotty, the convoy headed straight for the skydiving club's skydiving base in the suburbs. In the car, Cang Yaozu arranged the order of parachuting, because Lu Chuqing only wanted to jump one group of parachutes, and Emily and Scarlett wanted to jump two groups, so Cang Yaozu put Lu Chuqing in the second group.

The first group of Cang Yaozu took Emily, Cang Yaozu's skydiving coach Nina Coville took Scarlett, the second group of Cang Yaozu took Lu Chuqing, Nina Coville took Chu Hongxiu, and the third group Cang Yaozu took Scarlett, and Nina Coville took Emily. Nick and Jill chose to go with the first and third groups, and the two of them skydived solo and didn't need to be carried by anyone.

Human beings may have the urge to jump down when they stand on a high place, but the impulse is an impulse after all, and when it comes to really jumping down, they start to be afraid and begin to retreat, Emily either pulls the handle of the plane, or hugs Cang Yaozu to death, and her voice is crying. It does take a lot of courage to jump down from a height of 4,000 meters.

Yes, the first group is 4,000 meters in the air, the second group is 5,000 meters in the air, and the third group is 6,000 meters in the air.

If you don't dare to jump at 4,000 meters, what about at 6,000 meters? Cang Yaozu had no choice but to persuade him loudly: "Amy, Scarlett, I will jump with you, if you want to die, we will also die together, don't be afraid at all." Of course, if anyone gets scared and pees on the ground, I'm going to spank the ass. After saying that, Cang Yaozu pulled Emily up and hugged her tightly in his arms, and then he stood on the outside of the cabin, Emily stood on his inside, and several safety ropes were connected between the two people.

Seat belts are reinforced with metal in many places, and it is not easy to disconnect. As soon as Cang Yaozu kicked the floor of the plane, he jumped out with Emily, causing Emily to let out a long scream.

Emily and Scarlett, the two little girls, don't know who is more scared, Cang Yaozu is familiar with them, but Cang Yaozu's skydiving skills are all learned and sold, and I don't know if it's reliable. Nina Covel is really professional, she has now skydived more than 2,000 times, and she is very experienced.

Although Cang Yaozu is a beginner, he is actually very sure, his body and spirit are at a peak state, and he learns things super fast. At the beginning, it was Nina Cowell who jumped with Cang Yaozu, and then it was Cang Yaozu who jumped with Nina Cowill, and all kinds of unexpected situations were mastered, and there were no accidents at all, after all, the preparations were very sufficient.

Emily was in his arms, slowly relaxed, she was wearing a big goggles, and then she finally opened her eyes, and looked down, it was a completely different experience. Falling quickly from a height of 4,000 meters at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, his face was blown out of shape, in order to experience the thrill of free fall.

The speed of descent was very fast, and after almost a minute, Cang Yaozu successfully opened the umbrella, and now, Emily was not nervous at all, only to see her turn her little head and shout at Cang Yaozu: "Ah Yao, Iloveyou."

Cang Yaozu pecked her little face lightly, and the goggles of the two people touched together.

Soon, Cang Yaozu and Emily landed, followed by Nina and Scarlett, and several other groups successfully landed, but everyone's landing point was still a little far away, so everyone could only put away their parachutes and wait for the club's car to come and pick them up.

Returning to the skydiving club, Emily and Scarlett got together to chat about their feelings about the first skydive, while Cang Yaozu and Lu Chuqing, Nina and Chu Hongxiu began to board the plane and conduct the second group of skydives. It's not good to have more girlfriends, and the doppelganger lacks skills. Scarlett's first skydive actually wanted Cang Yaozu to accompany her, but she was very sensible and gave this opportunity to Emily, but she lost the opportunity to let Cang Yaozu accompany her for the first time skydiving, which has to be said to be a small regret.

Lu Chuqing was bolder, and when she jumped down from the plane, she was in front. She didn't shout loudly at all, let alone close her eyes, anyway, with goggles, she enjoyed her first skydive. Maybe with Cang Yaozu, she is not afraid of anything, she is so determined. The mother deer was also very calm when she skydived, it seems that this genetics are very right, and it is biological.

By the time of the second jump, Emily and Scarlett were much more relaxed, and Scarlett also shouted the words I love you to Cang Yaozu, it seems that she heard the words that Emily shouted, or maybe the two little girls talked about this topic when they were communicating just now.

Cang Yaozu easily completed three jumps, in fact, this jump is numb and numb, and the skills are not very many, it is nothing more than being bold and careful, just keep calm, in the words of the coach, do these two points, and then be sure to maintain a good posture when in free fall, it is no problem, and the landing posture is naturally the reverse bow with the face downward.

After a group of people finished their skydiving, they drove to downtown Los Angeles for a big dinner, and Cang Yaozu also called Coach Nina to express his gratitude.

The meal was invited by little Edgar, who and Britney had come to Los Angeles. Some time ago, Britney Spears, who Cang Yaozu asked him to sign, finally finished recording her first album, among them, Cang Yaozu also wrote two songs for Britney, and today Britney brought her signed album to distribute to everyone one by one.

"Ah Yao, the two songs you wrote for Britney are awesome, write a few more in the future, Britney will definitely be very popular this time, and we are going to make a diva out of the world." ”

"Britney's talent is of course fine, it may be her emotional intelligence that stands in her way to the top, and it is important to be careful in terms of relationships and family relationships, and I will let the hexahedron agency focus on these things. Cang Yaozu mentioned, you know, there are really a lot of bloody things in Britney in that life.

"Thank you, Mr. Cang, for the mention and the song you helped me write, I like it very much. ”

"Yes, you're going to be Universal Music's signature, and with the release of this album, you're going to have a series of promotions, so you have to be ready. ”

"By the way, Ah Yao, do you want the Spice Girls to have some interaction with Britney, and help her open up her popularity?"

"It's up to you, I don't care about these, just remember one thing, Britney, you are the No.1 singer of the same period, and Universal Music will also be No.1, since Britney's album has been recorded, the website will also be launched at the same time, and Britney's song will be pushed to the front. ”

"The payment interface of the website has not yet been adjusted, and your new PayPal is still doing the final debugging work, and it is estimated that it will be done this weekend." ”

"The establishment of this PayPal company is a bit hasty, it seems that the technology needs to be strengthened, the security of the payment website is the most important, I guess I have to find a master to guide them." ”

"Now PayPal is only for services, and there is no exclusive website that has not yet been opened, if you open a site, then you have to open a site." ”

"Well, Melissa has been doing this recently, and has signed agreements with several banks, and if you open a website, it won't be a big problem. Since she is the CEO of PayPal, then you can contact her, and by the end of next week at the latest, I will see these two websites go online. ”

In May of this year, Edgar Jr. bought Viking Records, and in July, after the $7 billion that Cang Yaozu owed to the Bronfman family was cleared, Universal Music bought Polygram again, and Cang Yaozu also contributed half of the money, nearly $4.5 billion.

Also in July, negotiations with Universal Music, Warner Music, EMI Records, Sony Records, and BMG began, and in early August, it signed a three-year exclusive licensing agreement with the first three record companies for online music sales, and then, on August 15, it signed an exclusive licensing agreement with BMG, and on August 20, Sony Records also took it.

Of course, the contract with Sony Records is a non-exclusive music license, and the contract stipulates that before Sony Music is not authorized to the second company's online music license, Sony and Universal, EMI, Warner, and BMG enjoy the same fifty-fifty share, once Sony licenses to the second company, it needs to notify the website one month in advance, and the share ratio is reduced to four or six shares.

Sony mainly doesn't want to hand over the initiative, they want to see the sales of the network first, market capacity, piracy are all they have to consider, if there is no great interest, I believe Sony will not easily let the share ratio of its own music copyright be reduced.

The launch is first to drive the launch of PayPal, and then a week later, the MP3 player will also be online, not only will it be sold online on the MP3 website, but also 58 Netflix flagship stores throughout North America will also be on sale, this MP3 player named Audio-Technica will be the Netflix flagship store to sell digital products again, now the Netflix flagship store only sells DVD players, and now there are MP3 players. And the USB flash drive does not use Netflix as a sales channel at all, and agents everywhere pay cash first and then queue up to pick up the goods.

The current Netflix flagship store is mainly a distribution center for film and television DVDs, after the user places an order online, whether it is bought or rented, it will be delivered by the warehouse to which the 58 Netflix flagship stores belong, and Marvel's comic books are also displayed and sold in the flagship store, if the user buys a comic book on the Netflix website, the distribution of comics and the delivery of DVDs are also handled.

Netflix's flagship store has the function of a live display of DVDs and comics and a regional distribution center, which is still very good. Although it is not as large as Pepsi's thousands of stores, it plays a significant role and is crucial to saving money. Netflix's model is actually the Internet+ model. Now, Netflix defeats Pepsi with only one thing, and that is when DVD beats videotape.

In order to accelerate the popularity of DVDs, Cang Yaozu placed an order for 1 million DVD players at Toshiba at the beginning of Netflix's establishment, and then quickly distributed them at a very low price. Buy a DVD player and give it to Netflix members, and now more than 400,000 DVD players have been sold, and it is expected to reach 800,000 units by the end of the year. As a result, more than 400,000 Netflix membership cards have been given away. Every day, there are thousands of orders that need to be delivered in the warehouse distribution area behind the Netflix flagship store, all of which are DVD discs rented or bought by users.

After "Jurassic Park 2" was released in theaters, a DVD was also released, which not only has the second ending of the film, but also a lot of shooting footage, this DVD is now a hit on Netflix.

"The Hangover", an R-rated comedy, is now being released in theaters in North America, and the results are not bad, the North American box office has reached $150 million in four weeks, and there are still two weeks of screening time, which should hit the next $200 million box office, although it may not be able to surpass "Jurassic Park 2", but the production cost of "The Hangover" is much lower than that of Jurassic Park, only less than $20 million.

"The Hangover" will also be released on DVD after it goes offline, and it is an unrated extended version, and I believe that the DVD sales of this R-rated comedy will not be less.

For the sake of DVD sales, Cang Yaozu directly cut off the video distribution business of Universal Pictures, preferring to make less money, it can be said that the degree of radicality is more fierce than Sony Pictures, which pushes the DVD format, Sony values the profits of DVD players, and Cang Yaozu values the rapid development of Netflix.

Cang Yaozu is interesting enough for Netflix. And Netflix's development did not disappoint him, the number of members is now almost 700,000, and it will definitely be no problem to reach 1 million by the end of the year.

According to Mark Randolph, Reed Hastings is not engaged in the business of DVD online rental, after all, Netflix took out 1 million DVDs and more than 50 flagship stores at the beginning, Reed can't keep up at all, although he has a net worth of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, but he can't be so smashed, life can't be passed.

Even with more than 700,000 subscribers, Netflix's revenue on DVD discs is still far behind Pepsi, and if you add DVD sales, the data can be better, but it is not an order of magnitude with Pepsi. Fortunately, the MP3 player is about to hit the market again, and as the first MP3 player to hit the market, the price of $499 is really not low.

You must know that the DVD player sold here by Netflix is only sold for $999, and it also gives Netflix a membership. And the site doesn't have a membership function now, and you pay to download music, ranging from 50 cents to 99 cents per song, although it's not expensive, but it's really not cheap.
