Chapter 0564: Lan Kwai Fong and Electronic Music
In addition to being talkative, the driver did not show the common sense of superiority of Hong Kong people over mainlanders at this stage, but continued with great interest: "Comrade, it is really a coincidence that you met me today, I usually run on Hong Kong Island, and today I was arranged by the company to send a few DreamWorks people to the mainland to film, and I arrived at the station." ”
Hearing the other party mention DreamWorks, Hu Weili couldn't help but perk up and asked casually: "DreamWorks is very famous in Xiangjiang, right?"
The driver was amused, "Of course it's famous, DreamWorks is now the largest entertainment company in Xiangjiang, and old companies like Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have to be ranked behind." ”
Speaking of this, the driver pointed to the license plate on the driver's platform and added with honor, "We, Uber, in addition to providing road condition reports to Xiangjiang Traffic Radio, also provide car rental services for DreamWorks." ”
Seeing the driver's proud expression, Hu Weili made a joke, "In this way, your Uber company is still a related account of DreamWorks." ”
"You're right. The driver nodded as a matter of course, "Among our shareholders at Uber, there are DreamWorks stars." ”
Chatting all the way, the taxi unknowingly arrived at its destination.
The relative that Hu Weili took refuge with is one of his elder brothers, who currently works for the Hong Kong government, so the living environment is good.
The driver enthusiastically helped Hu Weili, a "decent" looking mainland passenger, take off his luggage, and then left politely.
Hu Weili has a skill, is a capable person, even in the unfamiliar environment of Xiangjiang, he can completely support himself, and he does not need to send people under the fence, so naturally he will not really cause trivial contradictions in the melon fields and plums because of the so-called "defection". The family of relatives was very hospitable.
"Did you get in touch with DreamWorks?" asked Hu Weili's brother.
"There was a group of demonstrators at the station, and the scene was very chaotic, and I couldn't find the receptionist that DreamWorks had agreed to send for a while, so I came to you first. Hu Weili explained his experience.
"Forget about this stubble, the Xiangjiang subway system is on strike. Brother Hu suddenly held his forehead, "Anyway, it's not in a hurry." You just have a break and go to DreamWorks in the fullest condition. ”
When the family sat around the dinner table, Hu Weili noticed that his brother's children were staring at the TV with good eyes, and a beautiful melody soon came out of the TV.
……
The fairy mountain is separated by a sea of clouds, and the jade belt of Xialing is connected,
It is said that there are immortals outside the world,
The immortals are envious, and the world works hard.
There is also a joy garden.
If you have the ambition to be self-encouraged, you don't have to complain about hardships,
Struggle to leave sweat and blood, gain and loss smile proudly,
But to add more warmth to the world,
Make a point of light, make progress a point of warmth.
Troubles without worries, and strive for practice.
Spend a happy year every day,
Jade Mansion Immortal Palace. gold pile jade masonry,
The mundane world is no worse than fairyland.
……
Hu Weili turned his head to look and saw a fairy style on TV, all kinds of clouds and fog, magic weapons and spells, and he was dazzled.
"This is the mythological TV series "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" filmed by DreamWorks. The real scene taken by the crew in Penglai Pavilion. Brother Hu introduced eloquently, but his focus was not on the TV series itself, but he said yearningly, "Penglai Wonderland, the scenery is really fascinating." If you have the chance, be sure to check it out for yourself. ”
This version of "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" filmed by DreamWorks is the same as most of the previous works, although the subject matter is the same, the specific content and cast are only similar, and the story and special effects far exceed the version in the original time and space.
Hu Weili was immediately stunned by such a well-made TV series, but his focus was also different, and he exclaimed: "The soundtrack of this TV series is really good. ”
"DreamWorks' high-quality TV series have always been about excellence. Sister-in-law Hu said very well, and then asked curiously: ""Eight Immortals Across the Sea" was filmed in the mainland, so it should start broadcasting over there, right?"
"Maybe it was broadcast on provincial and municipal television. Hu Weili smiled, "The Hong Kong dramas I have an impression of seem to be only "Huo Yuanjia", "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love", and "Shang_ Beach". ”
"Themes such as fairies and ghosts, I guess there are still some restrictions. Sister-in-law Hu smiled understandingly, and turned to care about his work, "What kind of work do you do at DreamWorks?"
"It should be the soundtrack. Hu Weili's attention was completely diverted from the TV.
"My younger brother is a great talent, he not only teaches at the Beijing Film Academy, but also composes a lot of music, a minor tune has been selected as the textbook of the National Conservatory of Music, and there is also a "Guzheng Playing and Singing" into the Zhongnanhai to perform for national leaders. It's just that the mainland advocates 'collective creation', and his fame has been overshadowed. ”
Brother Hu admired Hu Weili's ability, and after counting his past achievements, he predicted very self-consciously: "It is not difficult for Weili to become Gu Jiahui of DreamWorks, and we will soon be able to enjoy his works on TV." ”
Hu Weili was a little embarrassed by the compliment, and said repeatedly: "Everything has to wait until I go to DreamWorks to report, and I can only know if I have an arrangement." ”
……
After banning the import of Japanese films in 1973, Takushima's official attitude began to loosen this year, announcing that it would allow the import of four Japanese films.
Tang Huan didn't care too much about this news, the production level of Japanese films is the same thing, Hong Kong films don't need to be afraid of it, but the influence of Japanese music cannot be underestimated, and Xiangjiang is deeply affected, which can be described as "the rudder of the Japanese music scene in Xiangjiang".
Tang Huan shook his head, this kind of thing still let those professional subordinates think about how to deal with this kind of competition, there is still a thorny problem waiting for him to decide on the treasure island.
This year, Mr. Jiang was unsurprisingly re-elected, and formed a new power structure with Li, and will officially announce his appointment on May 20, and Tang Huan received an invitation to watch the ceremony.
The production base of Zheru Baodao Company in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park ranks first in the park in terms of annual export volume, coupled with the surrounding upstream and downstream industrial clusters, and the commercial strength formed is not trivial, and Tang Huan is certainly fully worthy of this kind of wooing and overture.
Although there are challenges from the "Big Five Codes" and "Five Chinese Software Suites" to the "Tang Code" and Zheru commercial office software in terms of official affairs, there have been repeated discord in private matters due to Deng Lijun. However, the reciprocity of interests of Tang Huan and Baodao still occupies the mainstream, and the products of Zheru, Fangyuan Computer, EA, network communication equipment companies, etc., have a considerable share in the Baodao market.
Therefore, the relationship between the two sides must go down well, Tang Huan, who thought for a while, finally decided to be invited, anyway, there is a military parade on the mainland this year. It is also necessary to participate, and the two sides are considered to maintain a balance.
Tang Huan looked at the desk calendar, it was the end of April, Reagan's visit to China was coming to an end, and his brother-in-law Han Anyuan had arrived in Yanjing, and it was time for him to show up to arrange a meeting between the two.
As soon as he ordered his subordinates to prepare Silicon Valley No. 1, Weng Jingjing came to the office.
"Do you feel a sense of accomplishment in creating a radio station by hand?" Tang Huan asked with a smile.
He doesn't like his woman to be too idle, and the other party is also active and eager to try. Therefore, after the taxi strike in Xiangjiang at the beginning of this year, taking advantage of the fact that the people of Xiangjiang still remember the chaotic scene of traffic, they set up a radio station that provides real-time reporting of traffic conditions in Xiangjiang City, Xiangjiang Traffic Radio Station.
Don't look at the overall investment, it's not much, but there are still a lot of things that can be done, and Tang Huan attaches great importance to it.
"Of course, and it's fun. Weng Jingjing happily came to the back of the chair and lay on Tang Huan's back coquettishly, "Are you leaving Xiangjiang again?"
Feel the softness coming from your back. Tang Huan nodded and quipped, "Or." You go with me. ”
"You know how to make people happy, college courses, radio management, so many things, how can you get out of it?" Weng Jingjing snorted and punched Tang Huan.
Don't look at Weng Jingjing's young age, but her ability is outstanding. He really manages a lot of things that Tang Huan has explained, and he has a tendency to be the second in Hu Yinmeng.
After communicating everything that should be said, Weng Jingjing blinked her eyes and asked narrowly, "Are you so busy with work, are you tired?"
"Wealth, power, beauty, wine, and so on are the elements of wealth and glory in the world. I have them all, isn't it normal to be busy?" Tang Huan laughed loudly.
Weng Jingjing cut off, "It turns out that you think so much, I originally wanted to go with you to have a good time, then forget it." ”
"You are a clever ghost, what is a good show?" Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
Weng Jingjing grinned and said her idea, "How about we go to Lan Kwai Fong to play at night at night?"
At present, Lan Kwai Fong has not yet developed to the extent that it has become a famous brand in Hong Kong, but when "DiscoDisco" opened in 1978 on D'Aguilar Street, it accelerated the development of Lan Kwai Fong and opened its way to prosperity.
Especially in the early 1980s, Zeman, a Canadian-Jewish businessman, the "father of Lan Kwai Fong" in the original time and space, had a discerning eye and noticed that foreigners living in Hong Kong lacked social places, so he invested 32 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a building and renovated it into a diversified commercial building containing Western-style restaurants and other stores, which further promoted the development of Lan Kwai Fong.
Of course, Tang Huan will not forget Lan Kwai Fong, an extraordinary nightlife and leisure area, as early as the year before last, when the real estate industry in Hong Kong collapsed, he paid out of his own pocket and used his private money to buy a property for the construction of entertainment venues.
In a narrow sense, Lan Kwai Fong refers to an L-shaped uphill trail in the Central District of Hong Kong, with a total length of only 100 meters, and the commercial role is really limited.
Therefore, Lan Kwai Fong has more commercial value in a broad sense, which refers to a mid-to-high-end consumption area consisting of D'Aguilar Street, Wellington Street, Wyndham Street, and On Lane and Wing Wah Lane, which are clustered with large and small bars, clubs, restaurants and retail shops.
The site that Tang Huan bought was located on D'Aguili Street, and now that the construction has been completed, it is named Stormwind, but he has not had time to see it on the ground.
Seeing that Weng Jingjing was playing with this idea, Tang Huan couldn't help but be a little interested, "It's not interesting to watch the demons dance around, I might as well sit in the gym and meditate for a while." ”
"Not interested. Then you still paid to decorate Stormwind City so luxuriously?" Weng Jingjing muttered unconvinced.
"When we talk about interest, it's not the same thing. Tang Huan patiently explained, "I have heard of a statistic that the construction of a boxing gym can save six prisons. I was curious about the meaning behind this statement, so I wanted to do an experiment to see if it would have such a magical effect in Xiangjiang, a place with a high degree of freedom and rampant gangs. ”
"I said, how did you get the design of a martial arts tournament on the first floor of Stormwind City, and that ring reminds me of the boxing ring I saw at the MGM Grand Hotel when I went to Las Vegas to play. Weng Jingjing's face showed a sudden expression.
"If the conditions in Hong Kong allow, I really want to build a similar 'devil's capital'. Tang Huan said after remembering the $400 million "Battle of the Century" that the American boxing community hyped up in time and space in order to attract audiences to save the market.
However, he immediately spread his hands, "It's a pity that the ring that provides sanda and boxing is not yet the climate." However, I estimate that after the future of Hong Kong is decided, the British will begin to leave it alone, and the various demons that will be triggered will give this platform a chance to play. ”
Although Weng Jingjing didn't seem to understand it, she didn't plan to explore, she just wanted to let Tang Huan take her to Happy at night.
"Then tell me something that interests you. Weng Jingjing tilted her head and thought for a moment, "The music bar in Stormwind City has introduced a lot of electronic music equipment from Yamaha, innovative technology companies, and Fangyuan Computer Company, such as mixers and DJs. ”
"DJing...... The manager of Stormwind City is quite fast. Tang Huan was a little moved when he heard this, and finally nodded: "Okay, just fulfill the wish of your little witch and go to Stormwind City in Lan Kwai Fong at night to play." ”
……
The program that can make Weng Jingjing unforgettable and very longing for is really extraordinary.
Tang Huan didn't expect that Stormwind City would find a master of playing electronic music, who DJed on the stage, and with special effects, everyone in the audience was fascinated and swayed their bodies wildly.
Tang Huan, who was sitting in the special VIP box upstairs, couldn't help but think when he saw this scene, "It's time to promote the upgrading of another consumer entertainment product." ”
"I'm not mistaken, isn't it really fun here. Weng Jingjing shouted excitedly.
Tang Huan didn't answer, took a sip of the terminal cup, and then grabbed Weng Jingjing in front of him and bit the other party's soft lips.
……
After going crazy for a while, Tang Huan went to the ring again to look, and there happened to be two fighters fighting, one from Thailand and the other from the Philippines.
Seeing that the level of competition on the stage was average, Tang Huan shook his head, and said in his heart that he had to learn from the American boxing industry, which is the most successful in commercial operations, otherwise he would not even be able to create an oriental "boxing champion" who can do it.
