Located in Wong Chuk Hang, Southern District of Hong Kong Island, Ocean Park is home to The Summit and Waterfront Park, two major attractions connected by a cable car and an ocean train, which can be said to be one of Hong Kong's iconic tourist attractions in the future.

But now, it can only be regarded as an ordinary playground at best, with children's slides, cable cars, Ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, roller coasters, and a four-storey aquarium, with a total investment of no more than 40 million.

Although there are relatively few projects at this Ocean Park and there is not much to do, this new place can be said to be a great place for Hong Kong residents who are accustomed to seeing the Lai Yuen Playground during the holidays.

Inside the Oceanarium.

Anna and her two children are following behind the narrator, visiting the underwater animals in the aquarium.

Huo Yaowen and Zhou Qibang followed behind, the two chatted while walking, Zhou Qibang pointed to the aquarium and said, "How is Yaowen? This ocean park is good." ”

Ocean Park is a public welfare project donated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, but the management of Ocean Park is still under the responsibility of the Club, and part of the profits will be invested in urban development and part of the maintenance of Ocean Park's infrastructure.

"Very good, I think Mr. Qiu will probably have a headache at this time. ”

Khoo Tak Gen's Lai Yuen is one of the earliest amusement parks in Hong Kong, and there have been a lot of tourists who go there every year, and now the Ocean Park is completed, with new equipment, a new aquarium, and low ticket prices, the citizens will come here when they choose to travel on holidays in the future.

Zhou Qibang laughed: "Haha, I don't know about this, I can only blame himself, Liyuan has been open for so many years, and it is still some old equipment, and a merry-go-round is not tired of playing for so many years?"

"Also, I heard that the elephant Tiannu is still in the zoo in Liyuan, and I don't know if anyone has gone to see it after so many years. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen nodded in agreement. Liyuan equipment is indeed too old, even if Qiu Degen developed a Songcheng project in 1970, using the ancient city as a gimmick, there is still no novel gameplay, there are not many people who go to Songcheng to play, and more of the crew goes to filming.

The two chatted for a while, and Chow left first when he had something to do, and his current job is to manage Ocean Park on behalf of the Jockey Club for a while.

After the others left, Fok Yiu-man looked at the aquarium, and he understood why the people of the Lands Department had been dragging the land and not approving it, thinking that he was afraid that the newly built dinosaur theme park would steal the business of Ocean Park.

Thinking of this, Huo Yaowen pondered for a few seconds, and decided to wait a few days, if there was no news, he could only go to Brant for help.

Subsequently, he patiently accompanied his wife and children to visit most of the aquarium, until the sky gradually darkened, and then he took the reluctant Xiaobao and Xiaohu home.

……

Early the next morning, Huo Yaowen went to Phoenix Terrace to discuss with He Zuozhi about establishing a new record company.

The music department in the station originally only had Huang Zhan and a few producers, but later Gu Jiahui was poached, and the needs of TV dramas and music programs in the station also recruited a large number of veterans engaged in the music industry, and now it has gradually expanded to more than 30 people.

There are a lot of people, but it is far from enough to set up a record company independently, and more people need to be recruited, plus the record company needs a manager to be responsible, Huo Yaowen also asked Yi Yongsi, the manager of the music department in Taiwan, to serve as the general manager of Huanyu Records, while Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan are still old professionals, one is responsible for composing music and the other is responsible for lyrics.

After more than half a month of preparation, at the end of January, Huanyu Records was officially established, the first singer to sign for the first time, oh no, it should be said that the group, that is the girl's generation, Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui worked together again to prepare a Chinese record for them.

After that, Huo Yaowen asked Phoenix TV and Huanyu Film Company to sign Qingxia, Hu Yinmeng, Liu Songren, Mi Xue, Zheng Yuling, Miao Qiaowei, Zhou Yanfa and others to the record company, and suddenly the newly established Huanyu Records was starry, and there were dozens of "singers" who were famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Chairman, Miss Qingxia, they don't seem to be able to sing, let's sign them ......"

Yi Yongsi looked at Huo Yaowen suspiciously, and he didn't understand his hand operation.

At this time, although the Hong Kong music scene and the film industry are linked, they are not as frequent as in later generations, except for Xu Guanjie, who has made great achievements in film and music, most of the rest of the singers and actors are doing their own work, and there are few cross-border people.

So Yi Yongsi wondered about the boss's move, it stands to reason that even if he wants to make Huanyu Records look like more singers, he can sign some unknown singers, such as nightclubs such as Rechi and Rich, many of which sing singers are very good.

Didn't Xu Guanjie's rock band sing in Retiro back then?

Huo Yaowen said: "Huanyu Records has not been established for a long time, and if you want to open up your popularity and attract more partners, it is not enough to rely on Girls' Generation. ”

"But they can't sing. ”

"Just because you can't sing doesn't mean you can't sing, and I didn't say I would put out a record for them. ”

Huo Yaowen saw that Yi Yongsi didn't understand, and didn't explain too much, just said: "You don't care about this, give priority to urging Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui to make the first record of Girls' Generation, by the way, urge Wen to take them, the conditions given by the company are not low, if you don't agree, forget it." ”

"Okay. Yi Yongsi saw that the boss seemed to have other purposes, so he had to nod and sigh, he had just taken office not long ago, and he wanted to make some achievements, so when he heard that the boss was going to sign these actors to the record company, he came to visit in confusion.

"In terms of professional singers, you pay more attention to Luo Wen, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhen Ni, and see if any of their contracts are about to expire, or even if they haven't expired, you can send someone to test them. Since Huanyu Records, which was established in Taiwan, it is natural to do the best, and don't be afraid to be reluctant to spend money. And after the year, Phoenix Station will hold a singing competition to select some newcomers for the company, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

The Hong Kong music scene in the 80s and 90s was the era of Polygram, but now Polygram's predecessor, Polygram, is still focusing on Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they have not invested too much, which also gives Huanyu Records the opportunity to develop.

After all, whether in terms of distribution channels or music producers, Polydor is not comparable to the current Universal Records.

Therefore, in order to expand the popularity of Huanyu Records as soon as possible, in addition to signing all the artists from the film company and TV station, Huo Yaowen also asked Huanyu Records to join forces with Phoenix Channel to prepare to launch a new star-making plan.

Several talent shows are held every year to give blood transfusions to Universal Records and TV stations and film companies, much like Mango Channel's early operations.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is the Spring Festival at the end of the year.

Huo Yaowen was busy attending year-end meetings in various companies.

Spielberg has also filmed "Jurassic Park" and returned to the United States with the people, and the next thing is to do some special effects and editing, if everything goes well, according to him, it is expected to be released in the middle of this year.

That's a lot faster than 1999.

It's also normal that one is a real-life shooting model, and the other requires a lot of computer special effects.

Listening to the news sent by the United States Universal Branch, in order to shoot the scene of the final alien invasion of the earth in "1999", George Lucas not only invited several military experts to build a huge alien warship by the Grand Canyon in the United States, but also worked so hard for this that a lot of hair fell out.

According to the plan, the alien battleship is almost ten stories high, and the usable space inside is equivalent to the size of three football fields.

Just this real-life battleship cost more than 8 million US dollars.

This is only considered in terms of a small budget, if the money is released, George Lucas can directly build a one-to-two-kilometer-long alien battleship 1:1!

Although it cost so much money, those steel structure materials can still be dismantled and sold in the future, but they can't be dismantled in the short term, after all, the third human being leaves the earth, and the technical support of this warship is still needed, and there are still a lot of shots about it in the future.
