0655 Focus on the Workstation Field
Unlike the big-name effect and political cues pursued in this year's Miss Xiangjiang contest performance, the string performances of the first Miss Hua Contest did not have the energy to think so much, but only selected some artists from DreamWorks who had singing and dancing talents in addition to acting, and the main consideration was to give newcomers a chance to stand out.
For example, at the beginning, Yu Ananti and He Jiajin's energetic song and dance performance. In order to support He Jiajin, a tall man - the first graduate of the DreamWorks artist training class, the tall Yu Anan was deliberately moved out as a partner, which can be described as painstaking.
In this time and space, many things have indeed changed. For example, until now, Zhou Yunfa and Yu An'an are still living well, maybe it has something to do with the smooth career development and different mentality, this kind of housework is difficult for outsiders to understand, Tang Huan just thinks it's interesting.
In this kind of care that does not flow into the fields of outsiders, some combinations are relatively special, belonging to the screen couples created by DreamWorks, such as Zeng Weiquan and Mak Cuixian are the new generation of Xiaosheng Huadan partners who have become popular in the past two years.
In fact, it is not a lie to call the 1980s the golden age of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the original time and space, and there are too many talents in Gain, which is simply a blowout.
It's just that in the early 1980s, most of the mainland audiences' vision of the Hong Kong TV circle was limited to "Huo Yuanjia", "Shang_ Beach", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love", while the popularity of the rest of the artists reached the Pearl River Delta region at most.
In addition to the pro-guards cultivated by DreamWorks itself, those artists who defected to him were also taken care of, and this was the case with Banban, who appeared after Yu Anan and He Jiajin.
This is a veteran female artist who has become famous for a long time. As early as the 1970s, he and his sister Sen Sen formed the Sen Sen Bun Choir. Participated in the performance of the TVB variety show "Happy Tonight".
As the ecology of "Happy Tonight" is also changing. Many of them have come out to open up their careers.
Under this trend, Banban entered the field of TV dramas, playing Han Xiaoying, the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan" in the 1983 TVB version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In order to get more opportunities, she later transferred to DreamWorks, and as a result, in 1983, she starred in "Walking to Tiger Mountain Again", which was as popular as "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen" in the mainland, and then played the role of White Peony in "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" and Queen Wang in "Wu Zetian".
Especially at the beginning of this year, Banban, who has accumulated a lot of on-the-spot experience from "Happy Tonight", was sent to the mainland to participate in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala as one of the hosts.
It's a pity. Although Luo Wen, Red Line Girl, Xi Xiulan, Zhang Mingmin, Wang Mingquan and other famous Xiangjiang artists were invited to appear, and the popular song "Fifteenth Moon" appeared all over the country, but in order to pursue innovation - in essence, it is to show a grand scene, the live broadcast effect of this Spring Festival Gala held in the Workers' Stadium was very poor, and it was strongly criticized by the media, and even CCTV once received as many sacks of criticism letters a day, forcing it to apologize to the national audience in the "News Network", which in turn triggered high-level personnel changes.
Seeing that Jianlibao's sponsorship money this year had little effect, Li Jingwei was so annoyed that he jumped to his feet.
Tang Huan was also speechless. The funding gap of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has always been very large, and he wants to maintain his love for incense with the other party. Through the mainland enterprises under its name, a total of hundreds of thousands of yuan have been sponsored, and the other party is a little worried, but it can't stand the blow of off-market factors such as great success.
We must face up to the fact that manpower is sometimes poor. Rough work can be piled up simply with the number of people, but now the technical content of large-scale live broadcast parties is getting higher and higher, and the degree of detail is no less than a large-scale project. The first Sister Hua Contest in front of us, and the global live broadcast of the "LiveAid" charity concert in the past are concrete examples.
And the venue of this Spring Festival Gala - the equipment conditions of the Workers' Gymnasium can not keep up at all, and there is no heating even in the night of nine cold days, even with the help of the power of CCTV and the successful team of the previous Spring Festival Gala, they cannot make up for this gap, wasting resources for no reason, and hitting everyone's enthusiasm for work.
Looking at Banban's thought of the situation in the mainland, Tang Huan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, there were still too many invisible constraints to move forward.
Fortunately, after seeing Li Saifeng's appearance, Tang Huan's dull mood suddenly relaxed, and Xiao Nizi, who was dressed in a white dress, performed a ballet with a light body, which made his eyes shine.
"Light body can be a palm dance. After Tang Huan smiled and muttered to himself, he asked the assistant to take the memo and take a look at the upcoming San Francisco Music Festival, and who will be in Asia.
When he found that the small team combination of Lu Xiuling and Li Saifeng was impressively listed, Tang Huan nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, the final results of the first Miss Chinese Universe Contest have come out.
Zeng Qingyu, the emcee of the conference, walked to the Fangyuan computer, tapped the keyboard gently, and the printer immediately output the results, which were immediately announced by Zeng Qingyu and Liu Zhirong: Li Yanshan became the champion of the first Miss Chinese Universe Contest, and Pan Xianyi and Ye Yuqing ranked second and third respectively.
After the live broadcast ended, Tang Huan yawned and stood up, but he didn't expect Hu Yinmeng to call to "check the post" and ask, "How do you feel?"
Tang Huan teased unceremoniously: "Miss Chinese is there, but I don't see the momentum of the global competition, it's just a copy of Miss Xiangjiang's election." ”
"Can you be more tactful? I've heard someone nag that. Hu Yinmeng complained depressedly.
"Knowing that this is the first time you have an event of this magnitude, I am very nervous and concerned. Tang Huan laughed and comforted: "Actually, the first session can determine the entire framework even if it is a success, not to mention the perfect result in front of you." If you do it well the first time, you won't be motivated to work in the future, right?"
"I'm glad to hear that. Hu Yinmeng smiled with satisfaction, "When we wait for next year, we will have the spare energy to work carefully in the competition area outside Hong Kong." Hong Kong people see people in the rest of the surrounding area as hillbillies, and I plan to look for seedlings in Japan and the United States to shake the scene. ”
"I'm afraid. Next year's Miss Hua contest will also be like this year's Miss Hong Kong contest. Adapt to the current political situation. Make a gesture. Tang Huan finished pointing and then added: "You just said that you want to look for seedlings in the United States, I suddenly remembered the discovery report of Asian newcomers that I accidentally saw by a talent scout, there is a Chinese girl in Hawaii who won the Miss America championship this year, but the other party also has an appointment because of this, and it is still between the two to operate at a cost." If you're leading a team to the San Francisco Music Festival this time, you might as well evaluate it by the way. ”
……
The opening of the San Francisco Music Festival is scheduled to fall on the weekend of Labor Day in the United States every year, and this year it is September 7.
Therefore. Hu Yinmeng soon came to the United States, and as soon as she met, she asked Tang Huan for the information she had previously mentioned about the discovery of talent scouts.
Tang Huan handed over the document casually and briefly introduced: "Hu Kaili, 17 years old, has Chinese, Hawaiian and English ancestry, has received training in singing, dancing, and martial arts. Applicants must not attend any public events unrelated to the award during their term of office. ”
"The face of this little melon seed in clear soup and clear water is ......" Hu Yinmeng commented and said regretfully: "It's just too tender." If you participate in the Sister Hua competition, you will definitely suffer. ”
"Of course. You know, Miss America is for girls between the ages of 14 and 17. Tang Huan, who lost his smile, analyzed, "Girls at this stage grow up very quickly, and they shouldn't be so tender next year." ”
"You're very experienced. Hu Yinmeng snorted, then waved his hand and said: "The eighteen changes of the female university, no one can say." Let's take this as an alternative first, you arrange for someone to bring her over, and I will continue to look for other candidates. ”
Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Thirty is like a wolf, and forty is like a tiger." You're energetic, so just toss. ”
"Do you think we people born in the fifties are old? Hu Yinmeng glared at Tang Huan with the excuse, "Then I'll toss you first." ”
……
The San Francisco Music Festival, co-founded by Watts and Tang Huan, has been successfully held three times since 1982, and this year marks its fourth.
The cultural game created by the two billionaires received tens of millions of dollars in funding, which in turn led to the creation of the largest outdoor amphitheater in the United States.
Woz's interests are in rock 'n' roll, while Tang Huan is eclectic, recruiting musicians from the United States and around the world to perform on stage.
The benefits of this are clear, and the San Francisco Music Festival has a unique heritage that caters to all tastes and tastes, and it continues to be a fascinating event today.
If it is only limited to the category of rock and roll, it is estimated that it will be lively for two years before it is delicious.
And, let's be honest, rock 'n' roll has its own charm, but it's also a source of chaos. In the past few sessions, there have been almost always guys who have overdosed in the hospital and died.
As for other accidents, it is not uncommon for unlucky people to be crushed and trampled, and even a person was tragically murdered on his way home last year.
These small probability events broke out during the San Francisco Music Festival, which also reflected the popularity of the event.
In fact, the San Francisco festival was very crowded, with 670,000 visitors in the first session of the first session of satellite communication with Soviet musicians, 1 million in the second session, and 1.5 million in the third last year.
It can be said that in terms of status, the San Francisco Music Festival held in early September and the MTV Video Music Awards held in mid-September have become two of the most influential rising stars in the American music circle, and they are both backed by Tang Huan's investment.
It is not difficult to imagine how such a huge flow of people can have an immediate effect on the local economy.
Therefore, during the week of the San Francisco Music Festival, no matter how hard and tiring it was, the San Francisco Municipal Government was happy to allocate resources to do a good job in public services and solve all kinds of problems.
This year's fourth San Francisco Music Festival is even more spectacular, with 2 million people expected to attend. The parties involved who already have the experience of successful cooperation in the past will cooperate tacitly.
Tang Huan, a big financier, rarely appeared at the San Francisco Music Festival before, and basically left the opportunity to show off to Woz. And at this time of year, he is usually in Asia, and this is the first time he has been able to attend an event in the United States as honestly as he did this year.
The performances of Hong Kong musicians on stage can still get considerable attention. Especially when Lu Xiuling appeared with the women's music workshop that already had a prototype, it caused a small commotion, and the fresh band combination was difficult to attract people.
This also shows that Chinese art can still glow with greater charm after being packaged in modern packaging that keeps pace with the times.
Tang Huan didn't expect his operation to play an immediate role, to a large extent, participating in the San Francisco Music Festival is to give many artists in Xiangjiang DreamWorks a visible upward space. Having a goal that looks particularly good can keep everyone's attitude positive for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that Tang Huan met Jobs, who he hadn't seen for many days, at the San Francisco Music Festival. The other party, who lost the battle for power, has already parted ways with Apple - leaving only one share in his hand, and the rest of the shares have been sold.
Ironically, when Steve Jobs had no choice but to resign as nominal chairman and was swept away by Apple, his stock price immediately rose by $1.
You know, Apple's stock price is hovering around $10 at this stage, which is far lower than the issue price at the time of the IPO in 1980.
Therefore, this increase is still quite considerable, which fully demonstrates the mentality of Wall Street.
A tech media source put it straight to the point: "East Coast shareholders are always worried about these unreliable Californians running Apple. Well, now that Wozniak and Jobs are gone, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”
The sorrow of the entrepreneur is nothing more than this, Wox is easy-going and too lazy to engage in a battle of wills, but how could Jobs swallow this breath and directly abduct five Apple employees to start a new business. For this reason, Apple also sued the founder.
Guyin's five men, although not senior members of John Scully's management team or department managers, are quite senior and have an extraordinary role.
On a technical level alone, they had a project known as the "Big MAC" in their hands, and they followed Jobs because of the turmoil in the company caused by Jobs' kickout, and its R&D was canceled by the successor technical director, and all members became marginalized.
The so-called "big MAC" is actually a microcomputer workstation product with stronger functions than a personal computer.
After Tang Huan learned about Jobs's dynamics, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He didn't care about the R&D capabilities of the Jobs team, but he had to consider Jobs, who could stir up the storm the most, and attract more competitors to the workstation space, making it another focus after the personal computer.
The smoke of the war on the personal computer side has not yet dissipated, and there will be new fluctuations on the workstation side, right?
