Under Tang Huan's frank communication, especially the endorsement of "you don't have to have psychological baggage, I'll take care of it", the 007 production team finally reached an agreement and is scheduled to officially start production in August, that is, next month.

After sending these people away, Tang Huan couldn't help but smile smugly, if everything went according to his expectations, Warner, an old enemy, would suffer at that time.

EA's global promotion of Xiaobawang game consoles is ostensibly to combat the proliferation of bad games, but in essence, it is also in line with the general trend and squeezes out the last value of this wave of North American home video game console market.

Anyway, if you miss this village and don't have this store, everyone has no lower limit with the idea that fishing a little is a little, and EA certainly doesn't need to pretend to be high.

As a result, Atari and Mattel, which are in second place in the market, are feeling the most obvious pressure.

Atari contributed $900 million in sales to Warner last year, giving it a satisfactory answer to Wall Street, so Warner has too many reasons to support Atari as a cash cow.

Tang Huan admitted that Steve Ross was supposed to belong to EA's "E.T. Aliens" video game adaptation license, filming "Cruise Missile" and Lianmei's "007" in the ring, the tricks are very old-fashioned, but the effect only exists in theory.

With such a chaotic home game console market in North America this year, Warner not only failed to be vigilant, but also tried to hit itself violently by expanding aggressively, which was simply self-defeating.

Perhaps, these shopping mall veterans, including Warner, only think that the current chaos is an inevitable situation in the market adjustment period, so they are so confident that they want to continue to expand their territory.

Tang Huan plans to continue to expand the influence of the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" around the world. Estimated to see Steve Ross in this scene. Will be more optimistic about the E.T. Aliens video game. And then invest more resources.

Such a number of things in one fell swoop, it is really necessary to grasp it, the more Tang Huan ponders, the more interesting it feels.

……

Although the first lady of France, Danielle Mitterrand, came to visit, and her performance made Tang Huan feel uncomfortable, but the business was not delayed.

As a courtesy, Tang Huan was soon invited to visit the Élysée Palace and met with François Mitterrand, the current president of France.

At this stage, celebrities have already begun to be enthusiastic about various foundations. Danielle is no exception.

Tang Huan's training and certification centers for Philosophers, which have flourished all over the world, are mainly aimed at cultivating IT skills, but they also do not refuse cooperation in computer education, which aroused the interest of the first French lady.

Otherwise, Daniel, who faintly felt a little unpleasant between himself and Tang Huan, would not have been so positive.

It has to be said that Danielle is a maverick social activist in the West, who supports Marxism-Leninism and admires Cuban leader Fidel Castro, which has attracted the dissatisfaction of many French allies.

In fact. This ideological tendency does not mean that it is close to the Eastern bloc. It is nothing more than the value trade-off of the social elite.

After Tang Huan figured out what Danielle wanted from his side, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, it seems that the price paid for suppressing BBCMciro is indeed worth it.

In order to popularize computer education, the British government allocated at least half of the funds for the BBCMciro project, but the effect was not satisfactory.

This topic was also highlighted during his talks with French President François Mitterrand.

Like the United States and the United Kingdom at this stage, France is currently experiencing a high unemployment rate.

However, unlike the so-called neo-liberal economic policies pursued by Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, marked by a large market, a small government, and privatization, François Mitterrand, who belonged to the left-wing camp, pursued a policy of accelerating the process of nationalization, reducing legal working hours, expanding paid holidays, abolishing university entrance exams, and abolishing the death penalty.

In terms of the effectiveness of these economic policies, they have won popular popularity, but they have not been successful. Just like this year, some economic policies have had to turn to liberalism.

Among the many economic policies pursued by François Mitterrand were increased funding for scientific research and the development of high-tech technologies.

It can be seen that the development of the world now attaches great importance to the element of high technology, which is also a major reason why Tang Huan is popular wherever he goes.

Products such as telecommunications equipment have not shown signs of opening up the situation in France in a short period of time, while the microcomputer is basically unimpeded, especially the personal computer, which is a product with obvious attributes of consumer electronics, and the mechanism of state-owned enterprises is simply unable to cope with its rapidly changing market situation, as evidenced by the setback on the British side.

Tang Huan was very satisfied with the pragmatic attitude of the French side, which was regarded as eliminating the unhappiness with Danielle before, and when the other party held a charity banquet, he and Christina were happy.

……

Soon, Yuri Brezhnev, another important guest that Tang Huan was waiting for, arrived, and he held a deliberately low-key but stylish welcome banquet for the other party.

Under the attention of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Tang Huan's current business with the Eastern camp in Europe is only personal computers and video game consoles, as for Fangyuan personal workstations, Fangyuan network servers, Fangyuan supercomputers and other high-end products, they are all on the restricted list.

It stands to reason that Tang Huan, who has already achieved "global communication" in his old IT industry, can't be so deliberately befriended by Yuri Brezhnev, who is about to pass his temper, but doesn't there is no aura of "global communication" in movies.

Since the 1970s, the West's attitude towards the Soviet Union has generally been moderate, and it is only after the invasion of Afghanistan that the US-led sanctions such as the boycott of the Moscow Olympics and the food embargo have warmed relations between the two camps.

The big stick of economic sanctions was very powerful, and the domestic economic situation of the Soviet Union, especially the problem of food supply. It's stressful.

Politics is a thing. It has always been a fight and a peace. There was a struggle in peace, and the Soviet Union did not want to make some conciliatory gestures.

Therefore, Tang Huan plans to take advantage of the gap in the period before Reagan announced the Star Wars program, and label his own movies, especially DreamWorks' Chinese-language films, as a "global master".

After watching "E.T. Alien" and "Fang Shiyu", Tang Huan smiled slightly, "These two movies. "E.T. Extra-Terrestrial" has approached $100 million at the box office in the United States, and "Fang Shiyu" has reached 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong. ”

"Movies are so special that I don't want to get on the ground in Moscow. Yuri Brezhnev shook his head.

"These two films, especially E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, do not contain any political elements at all, and they are also distributed in the name of the film company on the other side of the Xiangjiang River. Tang Huan accentuated his tone. Emphasis added.

"But it's a Hollywood movie at the end of the day. Yuri Brezhnev shrugged, "If "E.T. the Extraterrestrial" is released in Moscow. You will definitely use it for publicity, and when the time comes, the Western media will be reporting on this topic, and I can't resist the pressure. It's this "Fang Shiyu", I can help with it. ”

"But I think you must have a way. Tang Huan looked at Yuri Brezhnev deeply, took a folder from his subordinates, and slowly handed it to the other party, "The account of the Swiss bank, you use it to help dredge the relationship, and after the matter is completed, there will be the same amount of remuneration." ”

"I admire you as a person, what are you doing with all this stuff?" said Yuri Brezhnev, with a look of displeasure.

"I know. But no matter where you are, you always have to dredge up the relationship when you do things, and I can't let you pay out of your own pocket. Tang Huan snorted and said bluntly: "There is no recording equipment here or anything else that can't be put on the table, and I, a guy worth billions of dollars, don't want to get into trouble." ”

Hearing this, Yuri Brezhnev raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to open the folder, and then gasped, "Compared to this investment, your movie will lose a lot." ”

"You said it, I will definitely use this capital released in the Soviet Union to promote, what I want is this gimmick of global communication. Tang Huan explained leisurely, "Just like my personal computer and video game console, I can openly point out the products that are sold to the whole world in the publicity, while other peers dare not say so." ”

"Is it worth it to have a propaganda purpose that is more profitable?" asked Yuri Brezhnev, holding back his curiosity.

"Certainly good value for money. Tang Huan nodded affirmatively, "Being able to do business across the Eastern and Western camps is a manifestation of ability in itself. ”

Yuri Brezhnev glanced at the document again, and then muttered: "I'm sure I won't take this risk in Moscow, but places like Ukraine can try." What do you think? It's also part of the European region. ”

"That's fine. Tang Huan sighed regretfully, "But I hope that a long-term cooperation mechanism can be established in these regions to distribute films like Fang Shiyu, which was born in Xiangjiang." Anyway, they have nothing to do with Hollywood in the United States, so it shouldn't be difficult to do, right?"

Seeing that Yuri Brezhnev groaned and did not answer immediately, Tang Huan continued to add: "I think this is a very serious business. ”

Yuri Brezhnev, who was moved by Tang Huan's repeated rhetoric, finally nodded and agreed.

Compared with the problem of film, the music festival jointly organized by Tang Huan and Wolds, which planned to interact with Soviet musicians through satellite air connections, was much simpler, and almost became the addition of this meeting.

……

Seeing that Tang Huan secretly gave Yuri Brezhnev so many things, Christina asked very depressedly: "You have invested so much, and I don't know how long Yuri Brezhnev can be the prince." ”

"It's not long coming, it is estimated that the times will change at the end of the year?" Tang Huan once again made a prophecy in front of the female ship king.

Christina was stunned for a moment, then she was furious, "Then why are you wasting resources on him?"

"Because Yuri Brezhnev is by far the biggest Soviet magnate I have ever known. Tang Huan waved his hand disappreciatively, not breaking the root of Christina's resentment against the Soviet Union, "Although the halo on the head of this prince will fade soon, there will always be an exemplary role of buying horse bones." ”

Because he didn't want to dwell with Christina on the topic of whether this "global communication" goal was worth it, Tang Huan quickly changed his tone and asked: "What about our son, let me take a look again, I am about to end my trip to Europe." ”

"In the mobile room, you can see for yourself, I guess these two little things are looking in the mirror there smellily. Christina couldn't help but laugh at the thought of her twin sons' hobbies.

Tang Huan looked over and found that as Christina expected, the two brothers dressed as young players were holding the football, standing in front of the mirror, twisting around.

"What, you two, aren't you used to the appearance of a half-breed?" Tang Huan joked with interest in an adult's tone.

I don't know if the twins understood the meaning of Tang Huan's words, and after staring at them for a while, they kicked out the football and competed with their father, whom they didn't see much.

……

Celine Dion's cameo and interlude singing in "First Contact 2" were successfully completed, and Claude Binodo was very satisfied and said that he hoped to have another chance to work together.

Seeing that Celine Dion had completed the task and even had time to briefly visit Paris, Tang Huan simply took Celine Dion's small team to Silicon Valley No. 1 and personally sent it to Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the Yamaha Music Competition.

At this time, not only did "Fang Shiyu" break the box office record of more than 26 million Hong Kong dollars set by "Best Partner" at the beginning of the Chinese New Year in Xiangjiang, reaching 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but also set a record in Baodao, winning more than 41 million Taiwan dollars at the box office, beating "God is Crazy", which was released at the same time and performed well.

I have to say that Hu Yinmeng's family background has played a subtle positive role in DreamWorks' treatment in Treasure Island.

Although Father Hu did not hold any important official positions when he was young, he still had a nominal status on Treasure Island.

Especially for an old man with solid qualifications like him, being able to survive until now is a resource that cannot be ignored.

In this way, Hu's father's political resources, coupled with the commercial resources that Hu Yinmeng now masters, invisibly played a role in the treasure island where one plus one is greater than two. (To be continued......)
