Chapter 511: 3DNow!
According to the unwritten rules in the entertainment industry, you can't ask sensitive questions on publicity and announcement occasions such as album press conferences, but you can ask for private interviews, so before the album press conference, Kong Jing successively brought more than a dozen reporters to the backstage, all of whom are relatively senior reporters in the industry.
Now that it was time for the official public questioning, the reporters didn't have many questions, and only asked some bits and pieces of questions according to the script discussed with Kong Jing in advance, all about the creation and promotion of the new album.
Tong Mu seriously answered the reporters' questions, and at the same time answered the reporter's question about when to open a new album concert, saying that in 97 years will be held 16 concerts around the world, and 11 concerts are currently tentatively set in the mainland, one in Hong Kong and Taipei, one in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and one in San Francisco.
After the end of the open question session, Kong Jing began to preside over the lottery, the prize is the 1997 photo calendar signed by Tong Mu, a total of 12 pages, each page is printed with a photo of Tong Mu, six of which were taken by the photographer, and the other half was taken by Hu Yiting and Tong Mu when he traveled, which was very collectible.
Kong Jing's first question was specifically asked to the fans of the Tong Mu Fan Club who were present first, asking them when the new album was released, which is obviously a send-off topic, and when he was asked just now, he repeatedly emphasized that the new album will be released on Christmas, that is, December 24th, but Kong Jing asked the fans who raised their hands to answer together at the same time, so the fans shouted in unison "December 24", the sound was loud as a very marching slogan, so naturally everyone got a beautiful wall calendar, and everyone was satisfied.
The next bunch of questions were not difficult, more than 100 wall calendars were sent out by Kong Jing, and finally Tong Mu finished up at the request of fans, and sang two new songs in a row, "Super Pleasure" and "Torment", which once again brought the album release conference to a climax.
In the end, Kong Jing announced the end of the press conference, and after the official end, Hu Yiting came to the backstage, smiled and hugged Tong Mu: "Look at me, I actually forgot to buy flowers." ”
Kang Yaoxiang suddenly slapped his forehead: "Look at it, I forgot it too." said and complained to his wife: "Li Xiang, you too, I can't remember this." ”
Tong Mu smiled: "It's all your own people, what's the nonsense, Mr. Kang, don't learn from Hu Yiting, he is just a fake polite." ”
Li Xiang covered his mouth and smiled: "That's it, you will punish Hu Yiting for kneeling on the washboard when you turn around." ”
"Well, I really don't have a washboard at home, or I'll have to kneel on a keyboard. ”
Everyone laughed, and Li Xiang said apologetically: "I'm sorry Tong Mu, I really forgot, eldest sister, I haven't participated in the album conference before, I don't know how to send flowers, I really haven't sent flowers to anyone in my life, alas, it's all your fault Brother Kang, he usually doesn't have any brains except for work." ”
Everyone laughed again, talked excitedly, and waited until Tong Mu's roommate and Li Hong also came to the backstage to congratulate Tong Mu, and everyone set off for dinner when everyone arrived.
During the banquet, Hu Yiting asked Li Hong: "What is Sister Li doing now?
Li Hong put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "No, now the house is selling very well, and the housing prices in the northern capital have risen a little in the second half of the year. ”
Hu Yiting said solemnly: "My mother is also engaged in real estate development, but she has no one available, would you like to come over and help me?"
Li Hong stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I'm not an expert, but I've been doing this since I graduated." ”
Hu Yiting smiled: "Don't be modest. ”
Hu Yanan heard that Li Hong was also engaged in real estate, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Xiao Li is engaged in real estate, and you are the one who sold the house to Tong Mu, right? ”
Hu Yiting smiled at Li Hong and said: "You see that my father also approves of you, come on, it's better to work for someone else than to do it with me, my mother is a layman, I must have an insider to follow her to rest assured." ”
Li Hong was thrilled by Hu Yiting's invitation and felt that it was an excellent opportunity. She knew that Hu Yiting was red and purple now, and it was naturally a good opportunity to catch his express train, so she gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"So I'm really here?"
"That's still fake, you're the vice president when you come, I'll call my mother tonight, you quickly resign and go to Hushan to meet her." ”
Li Hong bit her lower lip, "That's good." After that, he picked up his wine glass, "Mr. Hu, I will kiss you more in the future." ”
Hu Yiting stood up with a smile with a wine glass: "You're welcome, you're welcome, it's better to be familiar than to be familiar, you and I and Tong Mu are also old acquaintances, knowing each other in this life is fate, and if you are fated, you have to support each other to be worthy of God's arrangement, come, do it!"
After drinking with Li Hong, everyone continued to chat, and the meal was not dispersed until midnight.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Hu Yiting took Dou Shicheng's car home with a sense of wine and Tong Mu.
Three days later, on Christmas Day, December 24, Tong Mu's new album "Fairy Tale" officially began to be released simultaneously nationwide.
As soon as Hu Yiting got to work that day, he grabbed the newspaper of the day on the desk in his office, and it seemed that he had a habit of reading newspapers, only reading the headlines and not the contents, and only after reading all the headlines did he select the articles that he had an impression of and read them carefully.
Today, Hu Yiting's focus is entirely on the entertainment version, and when he opens it, he sees that every newspaper has a report on the official release of Tong Mu's new album, and the content is nothing more than "fans from all over the world are rushing to buy it...... Puhai fans lined up all night waiting for the Xinhua Bookstore to open...... Beidu fans lined up at Xinhua Bookstore to wait for Tong Mu to sign the sale...... Audio-visual bookstores in some areas did not obey the arrangement and released goods in advance without permission...... After listening to the live audition, some fans think that Tong Mu's three albums so far are all the top level in the Chinese music scene, and singers like her should release ten albums a year, and fans should not be kept waiting for so long...... Tong Mu announced the schedule of the 97 world tour ...... "Yunyun".
Hu Yiting looked through seven or eight daily newspapers and morning newspapers with great interest in domestic sales and influence, and saw that they were all praising the "Fairy Tale" album, and while he was happy for Tong Mu, he also felt complacent.
After the R&D conference in November, Hu Yiting led the company to fight for a month, and finally gave his own boast of Haikou to the circle, and the 3DNo! instruction set was born!
Hu Yiting did not adopt the mode of developing coprocessors this time, but adopted a ready-made design, that is, the Chongguang 486 processor that was castrated from the previous life of the North Volkswagen Zhi PKUnity86-3 CPU, and the new instruction set is perfectly integrated into the new processor like the previous life, and is currently only waiting for the results of the tape-out test.
But just like Hu Yiting's previous concerns, if Chongguang rashly launches this processor, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the top three in the current market, so he thinks it is best to find an agent, but whether to choose Cyrix or AMD, he is still a little uncertain.
From a partnership point of view, of course, it should be licensed to Cyrix, but if you want to consider the strategy of maintaining market stability, it is undoubtedly necessary to support AMD, which is currently in a trough.
At present, Cyrix has tasted the sweetness of "it is better to buy than to build", and has relied heavily on Chongguang in the development of instruction sets. According to the news from the United States, AMD is trying its courage in lying on the salary, and even recruiting troops to poach a number of senior engineers from the former DEC, including the former DEC company's Alpha architecture chief designer Dirk Meyer, who is the famous AMD president Medek in the future.
Hu Yiting knew that Medke was ambitious, and he defected to AMD in order to make the 64-bit alpha architecture X86, or hope to integrate the 64-bit architecture technology into the X86 architecture, so as to develop 64-bit X86 processors.
Hu Yiting pondered, thinking that if his expectations were not bad, Medek had now eaten through Chongguang's Shadow Overlord instruction set, and should already be working on a stronger alternative.
If 3DNo! is licensed to AMD, it may cause adversaries to completely abandon the seemingly meaningless instruction set research and development and focus on the development of the next generation of computing cores.
