Chapter 0284 - Alternative Entertainment Forces
In addition to the treasure island and Singapore, of course, there are also arrangements between Xiangjiang and the mainland, which belongs to Tang Huan's backdoor listing through EA and being praised by Wall Street as a bigger number of richest people, a kind of return to the big rear.
After all, no matter how much he mixes up, Tang Huan understands that there will always be a definite word in the prefix of his title - "Chinese", and this inherent attribute will never change.
And the support that comes from the ethnic group is often the most direct and sincere.
But the form of this gift package is not the same in various places, the Singapore and Malaysia areas are only culturally homogeneous, and the two sides of the strait and the three places belong to the real family, and the degree of affordability is naturally different.
There are people in power on the treasure island, and the business delegation will inevitably have to do some face-saving projects to facilitate high-level exchanges, but Xiangjiang is currently only a British colony, so naturally there is no need to go to such great lengths.
What's more, Charles has to entertain himself politely, and Tang Huan doesn't care about the British in Xiangjiang.
Tang Huan's routine is very straightforward, and the gift package resources are condensed into two points: according to the future talent needs, carry out in-depth training programs with local universities, and give places to those who are worthy of further study in the United States; although Xiangjiang no longer has the objective conditions to be used as a production base, it is suitable for building a consulting and service center.
The car came from the airport to the office building, watching people coming and going through the window, Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, "It seems that there is not enough space." ”
Yang Qinglin, who was in charge of picking up the airport, nodded, "This is thanks to the fact that DreamWorks is mainly based on Media Asia TV." You must know that the young people in Hong Kong basically regard our company as the first goal of employment. Just recruited another batch. ”
Tang Huan laughed smugly. between two years. It is not easy to raise the company's prestige in Xiangjiang to this height, and the subtle influence brought by the management of entertainment industry resources cannot be underestimated.
First of all, the people who communicate about the work situation are naturally still thorough, and there is still a lot of information accumulated during this time.
"You have brought so many important investors to the Special Economic Zone, and the leaders over there have been extremely moved. Zhou Mi joked as he picked out a document for Tang Huan to see.
Indeed, Epson's printers, Sharp's monitors and even televisions, Levi's jeans, Hasbro's toys...... It can be said that there is a flood of people, not to mention that the officials in charge of attracting investment in the SAR were stunned by the pie falling from the sky. Even the top brass of the province were shaken.
Tang Huan's own investment in the industry, the first to start is the Baleno-brand clothing factory run by Zhao Yazhi, and then the data backup tape drives, tapes, digital fax machines and other production lines.
After such a long period of hard work, the production base of a generation of Fangyuan computers has finally been fully completed.
The application of high technology has a certain lag, and this is an objective situation that must be squarely faced.
Even in the mid-1980s, PCs with 8-bit CPUs still had a large market in Europe.
The highly competitive U.S. market was led into the era of 16-bit personal computers by IBM, but after the introduction of the 16-bit 286 personal computer. It's a little complacent.
Intel introduced its first 32-bit CPU, the 80386, in 1985, and in 1987. Compaq, an IBM-PC compatible manufacturer, took the lead in launching the 32-bit 386 personal computer, which made a gorgeous counterattack and grabbed IBM's position.
From this timeline, it is not difficult to see the lag in commercial aspects.
In this time and space, it is impossible for objective conditions to change decisively.
Outside of the U.S. market, 8-bit PCs can still be popular for some time, especially in less developed regions, where price is often the deciding factor.
Therefore, the generation of Fangyuan computer production line still has good vitality.
Putting down the documents, Tang Huan shook his head with some emotion, the Special Economic Zone is indeed a treasure land for investment, with very attractive human resource costs and preferential tax conditions......
I just seized the opportunity when others still had doubts, but this very exemplary favor is not ordinary.
"Your trip to the mainland in the second half of the year has been decided, but according to your meaning, they are all family, there is no need to be so coy, and the gift package will be sent out in advance before departure. Zhou Mi smiled and quoted the term "gift package" created by Tang Huan.
Tang Huan smiled slightly after reading the information, "I can be regarded as returning to my hometown." ”
"But the family still repeatedly told you to keep a low profile, you have a criminal record. Zhou Mi reminded him at the right time.
Tang Huan nodded noncommittally, "These are all hard resources that the mainland urgently needs, I still want to make some articles on soft resources such as TV series and movies, and find people from relevant aspects to investigate, right?"
"We are still in contact with and going through procedures, and everyone has always been more cautious in this field. Zhou Mi smiled bitterly.
After the two talked for a while about the hidden actions in the Xiangjiang investment market, Zhou Weikun and other personnel also participated in the ranks of the work report.
There are basically no big problems, the only thing that makes Tang Huan cry and laugh is that the development team of the video game "Peerless Twins" has suffered a serious setback.
When developing the first video game with Chinese content "Dragon Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword", Tang Huan almost gave nanny-style guidance, but when it came to the development of "Peerless Twins", he began to herd sheep with the intention of training the team and cultivating the team, and the entire development team was full of confidence.
As a result, all good ideas wanted to be added to the game, especially Gu Long, who would occasionally come to the game with a big brain, and finally led to the whole project, according to the perspective of software engineering, the direction was lost and the scale was out of control.
Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, and Wen Yan encouraged, "It's okay, this loss company can still afford it, learn a lesson and start over." ”
The person in charge of the project team agreed in a low voice, not because he was shy, but because although Zheru Xiangjiang Company was dragged down by the investment in the mainland market, it was an invincible existence in Xiangjiang, and his team's failure record. It's so conspicuous. Even when going to the cafeteria to eat. You can feel the strange eyes.
In the final analysis, Zheru Xiangjiang Company has gathered a large number of high-quality young talents, and the competitive atmosphere is very strong.
In particular, many people are still thinking about going to DreamWorks and Media Asia TV to find a girlfriend first, and the importance of face is becoming more and more prominent.
Seeing that the business status of his high-tech old bank was as stable as Mount Tai, Tang Huan waved his hand with satisfaction and announced the dismissal of the meeting, intending to inspect his entertainment industry next.
Zhou Mi reminded with a strange face. "You'd better be mentally prepared, DreamWorks is now in charge of a bunch of Iron Ladies over there, and it's really not good to be cold. ”
"What, isn't it special?" Tang Huan couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Privately, everybody feels this way. Zhou Mi nodded earnestly.
……
When Tang Huan arrived at Hu Yinmeng's office in DreamWorks, he really found that there were many well-known women who had made great achievements in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, such as Yu Cheng, Xu Anhua, Lin Yanni, Shi Nansheng and others, as if they were having a tea party.
Tang Huanxin said that Hu Yinmeng is quite capable of winning people over, and none of these women's soldiers are given for nothing.
DreamWorks and these people's business dealings. Tang Huan is still relatively clear.
Because in last year's movie "Bravo", Paul Zhong had an intimate scene. But in reality, it is not excessive.
But Xiangjiang Commercial Station was afraid of affecting its image as an artist, and Yu Cheng, as the director, expressed his dissatisfaction.
And the young and vigorous Paul Zhong had an awkward relationship with the owner before, so he simply resigned from Heung Kong Commercial TV and went to DreamWorks to shoot a TV series for Media Asia TV.
Fortunately, in this incident, all parties maintained a restrained attitude, but it did not cause a bad impact, and Paul Zhong filmed the movie "Unemployed Student" with Chen Baiqiang and Leslie Cheung as usual.
Therefore, Hu Yinmeng and Yu Cheng can be regarded as not knowing each other.
DreamWorks and Xu Anhua have a deep relationship, and in the upcoming movie "The Story of Hu Yue", not only DreamWorks artist Zhong Chuhong served as the heroine, but DreamWorks also participated in the investment.
Lin Yanni is an old acquaintance, and Shi Nansheng was specially instructed by Tang Huan to woo Hu Yinmeng.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there is no Shi Nansheng, a virtuous helper, to do a good job in logistics, Xu Ke may not be able to make movies with peace of mind, including "The True Color of Heroes", "Dao Ma Dan", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Huang Feihong" and so on, both popular and popular movies, it is precisely because of the period when the two established a husband-and-wife film studio.
According to the historical trajectory, in 1982, that is, next year, Shi Nansheng joined New Arts City and became the administrative director.
It is not difficult to see that it is the most economical way to contact Xu Ke, a person with great character, through the link of Shi Nansheng.
There are still some corners that need to be dug up, although Xu Ke is still a popular director, but the movie "Ghost Horse Smart Stars" will come out soon, and it will naturally reverse the image when the time comes.
From this point of view, DreamWorks' way of operating its forces in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is really a bit different - the pillow wind route.
After turning this thought in his heart, Tang Huan couldn't help but smile slightly, stood at the door and waved his hand, and said, "You go on, I won't bother."
Seeing that Tang Huan was about to turn around and leave, Hu Yinmeng hurriedly said: "I'll ask Le Yiling to show you the documents of the last quarter, and the performance is good." ”
Seeing Hu Yinmeng's happy appearance, Tang Huan followed her wishes and was led to another office.
Compared with last year's various investments, although DreamWorks has more of the burden of artists who originally belonged to TV stations this year, its income has indeed increased significantly.
This is partly due to the growing relationship between Tang Huan and Singapore's top management, and many TV dramas have been quickly bought by TV stations in Singapore and Malaysia, and TVB can no longer enjoy this market exclusively.
DreamWorks is still cautious in its operation in films, which has the most uncertainties, among which the self-invested "Bravo" has a good box office, and the same type of "Unemployed Student" can be predicted to be the same.
On the impromptu initiative, "Love Kills" was introduced into the French film industry, and achieved the achievement of hundreds of thousands of moviegoers, which can be called a good performance, but it is a special case after all.
The main way for DreamWorks to operate is to participate in part of the investment like "The Story of Hu Yue", and at the same time recommend its own artists to play roles.
The record business, like TV dramas, is very optimistic, and Zhang Delan, who takes the route of a jade female singer, is becoming popular. Television artists also release records from time to time.
More importantly. DreamWorks' infiltration of Hong Kong Polygram. The moisturizing is carried out silently, and the effect is quite promising.
As for the comics, they are the most explosive, "Chinese Heroes", "Drunken Fist", and "Rulai Shenzhang" have been published one after another, and if this trend continues, Huang Yulang is likely to have the old book of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" left.
After looking at the current overall situation of DreamWorks, Tang Huan also understood, no wonder Hu Yinmeng, a female literary youth, would put down her reserve to ask for credit.
"I think the TV series "When I.Q. is Mature" has already aired. What's the response?" Tang Huan put down the document and asked.
"I.Q. When Mature" is a 20-episode fashion youth romance TV series, with actors Cai Fenghua, Zhong Paul, Zhuang Jinger, Che Paul, Mo Shaocong and others.
In the original time and space, "I.Q. When I Mature" was very popular after it was broadcast, and became one of the classic dramas of Hong Kong.
Tang Huan feels that in this time and space, the performance of "I.Q. When Maturity" should be similarly bad, and it can gather more young audiences for DreamWorks and Media Asia TV.
Sure enough, Le Yiling smiled and nodded, "Very popular." At that time, TVB had just finished broadcasting "A Thousand Kings Heroes". Media Asia TV then launched "I.Q. When it Matures", and the ratings are not lower than the other party. ”
Speaking of which. Le Yiling found the videotape of the first episode and quipped, "Mr. Tang, do you want to watch it, we usually record some programs to summarize our experience." ”
Tang Huan asked for the videotape with Sony's mark, and looked at it carefully, the expression on his face thoughtful.
Seeing this, Le Yiling couldn't help but wonder a little in her heart, "Although this product is high-end, it is not enough to be seen by dignified billionaires." ”
"Put it on and show me how the image quality is. After Tang Huan returned the tape to Le Yiling, he commanded.
"See how the image quality is?" Hearing this, Le Yiling was even more puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask more, and honestly operated the video recorder.
After admiring it for a while, Tang Huan sighed to himself, "Japan's technology is really at the forefront." ”
Le Yiling pretended to stare at the TV intently, and at the same time sighed secretly, the boss's brain is really different from ordinary people, I still haven't figured out what he is thinking.
"Pause. Tang Huan suddenly spoke, startling Le Yiling.
At this time, the plot of "I.Q. When I Was Mature" progressed to Paul Chung and three other boys, looking for a school to enroll in the Secondary 6 preparatory class.
As a result, they were blocked by a student council president at a boys' school and forced to join the union and accept protection.
Therefore, Paul Zhong and others were very frightened and had no way out, and finally chose to enroll in Yves Saint Laurent English College and become boys in a girls' school.
Tang Huan stared at the student who claimed to be the president of the student union and had a background in the underworld for a long time, and finally determined in surprise that this guest actor turned out to be Stephen Chow, who was famous in the original time and space.
Xiangjiang is really small enough, some people will always take the initiative to appear in front of him, and I don't know if he has entered TVB's artist training class.
"Is this actor signed at DreamWorks?" Tang Huan asked with an intriguing chuckle, then pointed to the screen of the TV.
"Probably not. He seems to be surnamed Zhou, just a special actor, and he used to work as a part-time office assistant at Li's TV. Le Yiling tried to recall and replied slowly.
"Your ability to do your job is outstanding, and it's rare that such a small person can make an impression. Tang Huan glanced at Le Yiling appreciatively, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that in the original time and space, she could manage more than 800 artists in TVB.
"That's as it should be. Being praised by the big boss in person, Le Yiling was overjoyed, but she was still modest verbally.
"Contact this person and try to sign him. Tang Huan finally began to command.
Seeing Le Yiling's bitter face, he prompted, "If you really can't get in touch, you might as well try your luck at TVH's artist training class." ”
Le Yiling nodded in agreement, and at the same time prayed in her heart that it was best to find this person's information in the company, otherwise, it would be a lot of trouble, after all, this is the person handpicked by the boss.
"That's it, don't watch the tape. already had a direct impression of Sony's video recorder product, Tang Huan didn't plan to continue to enjoy it, "By the way, when will "Huo Yuanjia" be broadcast?"
"According to the plan, it will be done at the end of May and the beginning of June. Le Yiling replied with a few treasures.
At this time, Xiao Sheng came over. After seeing Tang Huan, his face showed even more surprise, "I have a new script, and I ask Mr. Tang to give me some guidance in his busy schedule." ”
Le Yiling chuckled and asked, "Uncle Sheng, is your script streamlined?"
"It has been completely changed according to Miss Hu's request, and it seems that some of my ideas really need to keep pace with the times. Xiao Sheng replied convincingly.
"You're in such a hurry to come up with a new work, 20 episodes of "Pingxia Film" are not enough for you to be busy?" Tang Huan quipped, took the script and glanced at it, the name is "Martial Arts Emperor Flower".
"If you have the strength to spare, you can do more things, so as to live up to Mr. Tang's favor. Xiao Sheng smiled faintly.
Naturally, he would not say it explicitly, he heard that Xu Xiaoming had thought of a sequel when he was filming "Huo Yuanjia", so he was unwilling to be left behind to launch a new work.
"Originally, it was planned to be 50 episodes, but Miss Hu said that it was now the 1980s, the audience's preferences were changing, and even the pace of life was significantly faster, and the script should be more compact, so I thought so, so it was readjusted to 40 episodes. ”
Xiao Sheng, like Wang Tianlin, is very old-fashioned, and he did not rely on the old to sell the old, because his script was pointed at by a young female doll and his mentality was unbalanced, but he quickly made corresponding changes. (To be continued......)
