Chapter 422: Press Conference and Star-Making Mechanics

A few days after Lin Qi returned to Hong Kong, he immediately stood on the platform for the new Double 11 press conference of Xinye Electronics Group.

At present, the products of the new venture electronics group, although they are not as good as the early ones, make people feel constantly bright. However, every year, we strive for the performance and experience of the product, which is better than the previous product.

For example, Phoenix Games, an independent arcade game company, released a 16-core CPU, 40-inch screen arcade generation this year. Players can choose dozens of original characters such as Linghu Chong, Dongfang Undefeated, Let Me Go, Feng Qingyang, Blue Phoenix, Chongxu Daochang, Lin Pingzhi, Xiang Wentian, Yue Buqun, Yue Lingshan, Ren Yingying, etc., and operate them with joysticks and buttons to engage in fierce fighting. This new game, paired with a new platform, puts Phoenix Games in the spotlight of the launch.

In addition, Zhangyu Game Company is also independent from the New Venture Electronics Group, but it will also release products with the help of the platform of the New Venture Department. The independently operated palm entertainment game company released the third generation of palm entertainment products on Double 11 this year. Although, the third-generation handheld console, the CPU has not improved much compared with the previous generation, and it is still an outdated 16-bit XRMCPU, however, the TFT-LCD screen of the game has been increased to 5 inches, and at the same time, the battery has been replaced with a more abundant lithium battery, and the battery capacity has reached 3800mah, and the battery life of the handheld can be maintained for 10 hours.

The Inspur debug demodulator, which was released a few months ago, has also been re-displayed.

Of course, this year's main product is still related to Pangu computers.

Unlike previous years, Pangu Computer released a new generation of complete machines, this year's Pangu Computer did not release a complete machine, but chose to release a semi-finished product composed of a chassis, motherboard and power supply.

"As you know, our biggest competitor, the PC camp, has begun to have the concept of DIY assembly, that is, users can save their own hardware and then assemble it into a compatible machine. It is precisely for this reason that a large number of compatible machine manufacturers have appeared in the PC camp, that is, purchasing hardware instead of users and assembling it into a computer. Lin Qi smiled and said, "In the past, I thought that the model of compatible machines was not conducive to large-scale production and cost reduction. For example, the core technology of our Pangu computer comes from one of our companies, and then it is licensed to some partners and supply chains to mass produce hardware. Each generation of our Pangu computer only releases a few products for users to choose from. Originally, I thought that this was enough, after all, the low price, providing the best value for money computer and the world-leading experience. However, many users still say that it is not enough, and some performance does not meet their expectations...... After careful consideration, the future of personal computers, will inevitably be differentiated, more and more personalized, users are not only satisfied with the manufacturer of a template, standardized configuration of the computer, but have more DIY needs! Therefore, we simply launch the motherboard, power supply and chassis these basic configurations, after that, users can according to their own needs and budget, purchase different CPU, hard disk, graphics card, memory, sound card, network card, CD-ROM drive. Of course, this is for some DIY users who like personalization, ordinary users, we do not recommend building a computer, because, Pangu host has achieved the cheapest. Of course, DIY can be fun for some personalized users, so we showed the audience how to assemble a computer by hand. ”

As an assembly worker wearing overalls came to the stage, he skillfully took out different accessories from the cartons on the spot, and then assembled them smoothly. Since the chassis, power supply, and motherboard, which are the most difficult to get together, have already been done in the factory state, it almost only takes less than ten minutes to assemble them, and you can call it a day.

Next, the current assembly personnel installed the system using the optical drive and counted the assembled Pangu host.

For this assembly process, the viewing score can be given a full score. So, there was a round of applause!

"This is the DIY semi-finished product, the most laborious assembly process, we have already done it for users in advance. Pangu case, motherboard, hard drive set, only $100 price. Lin Qi smiled and said, "Interested users can contact Pangu Computer's self-operated stores or dealers." After the user buys the semi-finished product, he can select the compatible hardware according to the manual of the motherboard!

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean that Pangu computers are also about to open up technical standards, and they are compatible with PCs just like PCs?" asked the reporter at the scene.

"At the moment, we don't have a license manufacturer to produce compatible machines, but we do allow customers to purchase their own hardware and assemble it by hand. Lin Qi explained, "For example, the clock frequency of each core of our current mainstream model Pangu 4th generation, dual-core XRM32 CPU, has been increased to 45MHz, which is two or three times higher than the chip performance of competitor Intel." The memory capacity also reaches 4MB, and the video memory is 1MB, which should have cost $10,000 a few years ago, but the software industry is developing too fast, and if you want to use more powerful software, you have to have a more powerful hardware configuration. Unless you keep using the old software and don't follow up with the new software, the performance of the computer must be constantly upgraded. Now, some of the game needs, or users who run more complex programs, the current Pangu 4 generation for $698 a unit cannot meet their needs. However, if you raise the budget to $3,000, you can get a Pangu God Machine that is comparable to a small computer. This kind of magic machine can use an 8-core processor, 10MB of memory, and 5MB of video memory, even if you play a game like "Counter-Strike" that tests the hardware, it is enough!"

"Mr. Lin, this time you went to the United States to acquire Wang An Computer Company, and it is said that you took a fancy to Wang An Computer Company's technical strength in the office field. In the future, when will Pangu computers be equipped with office printing equipment developed by Wang An's company?"

"I believe in the strength of Wang An Computer Company, and it should be able to do it soon. Lin Qi said, "Wang An Computer is a very technical company, in recent years, due to the wrong choice of technical route, otherwise, it may be another pattern." Just imagine, if Wang An's computer company had launched the PC and IBM had not done so, what would have been the fate of the two companies today? But a company can make mistakes, and not to say that a company that makes technical mistakes will become worthless! I think that if a company like Wang An had revised its line, it would still have a great future!

Many people were not only silent, but after a while, the scene burst into thunderous applause.

Some reporters thought to themselves whether they should go to the United States to open an account and buy some Wang An computers.

The new venture electronics group is not listed, so buying Wang An Computer, which was incorporated by the new venture department, may be expected to make a lot of money, right?

……

After Lin Qi finished the press conference platform for the new venture electronics group, he wandered around and inspected the newly established Xinxing Entertainment Company.

The company is a miniature company, with less than 10 employees as a whole. However, this reminded Lin Qi of the early days of entrepreneurship 8 years ago, when the new venture electronics was so small that almost everyone knew Lin Qi.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Zheng Shaoqiu came to the door to sign a short-term brokerage contract with the company, and I have arranged Zheng Shaoqiu into a crew in the film and television base, but he is not the male lead. Speaking of this, Xiao Chen felt a little guilty, Zheng Shaoqiu was a serious big star in the Hong Kong film and television industry at that time, but there was no way, who made him offend Fei Fei, under the pressure of the other party's forces, Xiao Chen didn't dare to do too much.

The new entrepreneurship department is naturally not afraid of fat, but it is afraid of the tandem in the entertainment industry, secretly resisting and slandering the new entrepreneurship department. After all, the influence of the new entrepreneurship department in the entertainment industry is not low, but there is an obvious gap with the traditional Hong Kong entertainment industry.

"It's okay, Qiu Guan is now coming to the mainland to avoid the limelight, so he doesn't need to be too ostentatious. Lin Qi didn't pay too much attention to Zheng Shaoqiu, although he was not angry in the following decades, but after all, he was not the top superstar. Moreover, Lin Qi has already made up his mind that in terms of film and television entertainment, he mainly taps talents from the mainland, and Hong Kong only selects Tsui Hark, Wang Jing, Stephen Chow and the like, especially talented talents.

After the two talked for a while, an assistant came over and called Xiao Chen away.

Because Star Entertainment has recently advertised in the media, it has attracted a large number of young people who want to be stars. Of course, this belongs to casting a wide net to catch fish, and the large number of people found does not mean that they can all become stars, everyone also has their own destiny in it, if he is destined to become a star, no one can change it.

Recently, because of this, Xiao Chen has been busy, there are not a hundred or eighty people he watched, and according to the guidance given by Lin Qi before, he gave priority to the appearance of the person, even if the acting skills are poor, he can be used as a vase.

And the person who was selected today has a really outstanding appearance, and he simply looked at Xiao Chen straightly, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.

"What's her name?" Xiao Chen swallowed without a trace, and then asked.

"Tana Asahi Getu, it seems to be Mongolian. How is Brother Chen, beautiful, you don't know, how much effort I spent to invite her over. "Because Xiao Chen became the general manager, he also has his own personal secretary, named He Rong, and He Rong's ability to break his mouth is not inferior to Xiao Chen, who was also a small assistant at the beginning.

Xiao Chen nodded, and then looked at her information carefully.

"So, everyone come with me, go to the performance room, see if you have the talent to act, and if you pass the test, we can sign a contract. Xiao Chen said very calmly, now he is especially a general manager, if Lin Qi sees it, he may be surprised, the transformation speed of this product is too fast.

He Rong is responsible for contacting scouts who are looking for star potential on the street, and he is responsible for talking to those amateurs who have never been in contact with the film and television industry, and they are basically novices, so they are called amateurs.

And the reason why those people agreed to He Rong to come to New Star Entertainment Company for an interview was because the conditions he offered were too tempting, and those who came for the interview were basically young people from poor families with average academic performance. If you don't come to Nova Entertainment, you will also need to work in a factory in the coastal area.

When he came to the performance room, Xiao Chen's topic was how to not anger the thief and prevent the other party from succeeding if a thief stole his wallet on the bus.

In fact, this topic itself is meaningless, and Xiao Chen doesn't know much about acting, but the main thing is to look at the attitude of the other party's performance. Seedlings with a good attitude, even if their acting skills are poor, have room for improvement in the future.

There were about 20 people in the interview, and each of them had three minutes to perform, with Tana Asahi Getu in the middle.

The first five people basically have no acting skills, probably because they have never performed in front of strangers, and there is nothing to learn from, so they all look stupid and stupid, and their body movements are very uncoordinated.

If it weren't for Xiao Chen's desire to maintain his good image, he would definitely take off his suit and beat them, what kind of thing is this acting.

After that, things were much better, and the three of them performed okay, but by the time Tana Asahi Getu arrived, something happened again.

Tana Asahi Getu is obviously not very good at Mandarin, let alone Cantonese, she didn't even understand the request, her big eyes were full of panic, and with that peerless face, it was simply pitiful to me.

Xiao Chen, who was not angry, was moved at that time, and he asked Tana Asahi Getu to wait for her on the grounds that she did not know Chinese, and then make a decision.

After the first batch of interviews, there were seven people who performed well, but because Nova Entertainment was a new company, there were not enough trainers and staff to recruit, so they could only accommodate three newcomers at the same time.

After the second round of screening, there was finally a man and a woman left, namely Ahn Junxian and Wu Xiuxiu.

"Mr. Chen, this Tana Asahi Getu doesn't seem to meet our evaluation standards, can you be hired?" He Rong was a little worried, in fact, he just saw that Tana Asahi Getu was not good at performing except that she couldn't speak Mandarin well, and she couldn't speak Cantonese. She herself really doesn't have any acting skills, and because her appearance is so outstanding, the audience's attention will focus on her face when she performs, and for her other places, there will not be too many audiences at all, for this kind of person, it is actually not suitable to be a star, and it is okay to be a fashion model.

"What do you know, people are born to be actors? Our company is established to train them, otherwise everyone can act, what else do you want us to do? Xiao Chen's big truths are set one by one, and He Rong feels a little spinning when he hears it, but he is the general manager, and he has no right to question it again.

Therefore, this time, New Star Entertainment Company has recruited three newcomers, who are currently going to live together first, and then conduct unified training.

But for the specific training method, Xiao Chen still has to find Lin Qi to come up with ideas, it's not that he doesn't have the right. Instead, he took the opportunity to show his contribution to Mr. Lin, hoping that Mr. Lin would give him more resources as soon as possible, so that the new star entertainment company would become a real giant company in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention that compared with Humen Film and Television Base Company, New Venture Film and Television Group, and Felix Animation Company, it must at least reach the level of New Art City and Golden Harvest!

"In this way, you first cooperate with art schools in China, let professional art schools provide teachers, let them learn dance, singing and acting for a period of time, and then decide on their development in that direction based on the results shown in the training process. If you have a relatively high appearance and are excellent in all aspects, you can form some idol groups. Lin Qi's suggestion is actually the trainee model in South Korea later. Although the trainee mode was repeatedly criticized as oppression, compared with the blind pursuit of star dreams, the success rate of the trainee mode is still higher. Moreover, its low threshold also greatly reduces the cost of star training. In this way, even if the famous star contract expires and flies alone, the company that has mastered the star-making machine can cultivate hundreds or thousands of potential stars on a large scale, and a country as small as South Korea can continue to make stars, let alone a country as big as China!
