For example, take the movie "Fang Shiyu" as an example, many of the roles are played by mainlanders, if you change to other film companies, you may be stuck by the neck, but as soon as the brands of producer Tang Huan and producer Hu Yinmeng are bright, everything will go smoothly.

The popularity of "Fang Shiyu" in Xiangjiang and Baodao not only allowed it to quickly enter theaters in Singapore, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian regions, but also broke into the Japanese market.

With "Shaolin Temple" specializing in beauty, the more distinctive "Fang Shiyu" was directly hit by Dongbao, who not only confidently promoted the release of the film in Japan, but even planned to localize the dubbing.

The most interesting thing is that Dongbao thinks that the episode "Youth Dream" in "Fang Shiyu" is good, and plans to buy its Japanese copyright.

As a result, during the negotiation, Jiang Zhiqiang asked the other party directly, "This song was single-handedly organized by our big boss Mr. Tang, what do you think is the right price?"

As soon as he heard this, Toho shrank at that time, he had no special relationship, and he wanted to buy creations from billionaires, wasn't it a joke.

This incident also reflects from another angle, compared with Jiahe, which entered the Japanese market one step earlier, DreamWorks, which has been secretly supported by a series of companies such as Zheru Japan, Epson, Taidong, and EA Japan, is a bit "horizontal", and Dongbao has no chance to rely on the advantages of its own local households to handle it - if you want to cooperate, everyone will abide by the rules and play equally.

After settling Celine Dion and her entourage, Deng Lijun, who happened to get the news, came to visit, and the singer came to Japan this time mainly to attend the fan meeting.

When Celine Dion and Deng Lijun were happily over, Tang Huan couldn't help but interject and asked, "Why don't you hold a concert with thousands of people in Japan like Xiangjiang and Baodao." I look forward to seeing you sonic again. It's been a hard wait. ”

"I don't have the freewheeling skills of your business. How dare you hold a large-scale concert casually. Deng Lijun glanced at Tang Huan, there was nothing to hide in front of her family, and said that some of the hard work in the Japanese music scene in the early years was not smooth, "Polygram is making plans in this regard, I think it's good to be cautious." ”

"Is the Japanese music scene so xenophobic? You've won No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. Tang Huan was quite unhappy.

"It's just an accident that you've fueled it, and my real album is actually 'Faint Love', and while it's been well received in all respects, it's not quite as good as the top-selling millions of records in the American and Japanese music markets. The modest Deng Lijun is very open-minded.

"After all, it's not because they can't compare to those local artists. What does it have to do with strength. Tang Huan cut off, "I'll think of a way to make up for this disadvantage." ”

Deng Lijun glanced at Tang Huan amusedly, since she met the man in front of her, she had a shelter from the wind and rain, and she didn't need to support her no matter what happened. I don't know what kind of ghost ideas will come out of the other party's whimsical head.

"You'll be thirty years old next year......" Tang Huan muttered to himself thoughtfully, but suddenly, he felt the temperature in the room drop all of a sudden.

Finding that Celine Dion was grimacing at him, Tang Huan's eyes hurriedly turned to Deng Lijun, only to see the other party's face cold. Glaring at him, he said word by word: "What's wrong with me when I'm thirty years old?

Good boys. How can I forget that women are very sensitive to age, even if the family can't talk nonsense.

Tang Huan, who was extremely big-headed, hurriedly replied with a smile, "I just made a mistake by mistake, you think too much, in fact, I think we should take this opportunity to plan a meaningful activity." ”

"An unintentional mistake is not the truest thought. Deng Lijun snorted, "And when you say 'take this opportunity to plan a meaningful activity', does the opportunity mean that I am thirty years old?"

"It's over, I've been interrupted by you like this, my train of thought has been completely broken, I want to find a quiet place and think about it. Tang Huan, who was heartbroken, quickly stood up and slipped away.

Seeing Tang Huan walking away, Deng Lijun sneered and laughed, "Who made you babble so much, I can arrange my work myself." ”

"You're not angry. Celine Dion asked with wide eyes.

"Silly girl, my twins are more than two years old, what else is there to taboo. Deng Lijun pinched Celine Dion's cheek with a funny expression.

What was the level of hardware specifications for personal computers in 1982?

According to the statistics of computer professional media, in terms of market share alone, various standard personal computers are ranked from high to low: Fangyuan personal computers, IBM personal computers, Apple computers, as well as Kangmaoda computers, Texas Instruments personal computers, Atari 400/800 personal computers and other miscellaneous armies.

It is worth noting that in addition to Fangyuan personal computers and IBM personal computers, many series of products from other microcomputer manufacturers are often not compatible with each other in terms of software, such as Apple's Apple II and the redesigned Apple III, which has become irretrievably famous.

To some extent, this also shows that many microcomputer manufacturers are either weak or outdated, and they always invest more in hardware than in software.

This also invisibly improves the hardware specifications of personal computers.

Nowadays, personal computers are still a mixed situation of 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit, in which the microprocessor used in 8-bit personal computers is basically jointly controlled by the MOS6502 series and the Z80 series, the CPU runs at a frequency of no more than 5MHz, and the memory capacity often reaches the maximum support capacity - 64KB.

This is the case with the first generation of Fangyuan computers, the new generation of Tangdi computers, Apple's Apple II, Commodore personal computers, Atari 400/800 personal computers, and so on.

The microprocessors used in 16-bit PCs are still in a situation of hegemony - the MC68000 series and the Intel 8086 series, the former running at a frequency of around 8MHz. The latter operates at around 5MHz.

Thanks to the collective madness of the Japanese semiconductor industry. The price of DRAM has been falling again and again. At present, the memory capacity of 16-bit personal computers starts at 128KB even for the conservative IBM-PC, and 512KB for Fangyuan personal computers, which are mainly aimed at enterprises.

The performance of Fangyuan's personal computer is so aggressive, of course, due to Tang Huan's accurate grasp of market demand and keen insight into the semiconductor memory industry, and the result is that enterprise customers are willing to buy it, and their own manufacturing costs are also very reasonable.

And in terms of the design of memory modules and memory slots. If the content capacity is too small, we are sorry for the overhead of this board.

As for the 32-bit personal computer market, it belongs exclusively to Fangyuan Computer, not that IBM can't play, but that the blue giant has a clear product line division, and is worried that the overly powerful 32-bit personal computer will fight a civil war with its original high-end products, so it is unwilling to accompany Fangyuan Computer to fight bravely in this field.

It has to be said that this sales strategy, which was formed in the mainframe era, has become a big hole for IBM.

Don't look at the fact that the blue giant has successfully entered the personal computer market, but it still has not figured out the attributes of personal computers as consumer electronics - upgrading and upgrading, and then driving the entire market to upgrade day by day.

IBM still holds the original idea - after developing a generation of products, it will forcibly divide high, medium and low grades. Shoehorn the customer to run the PC for a few years. It can be called unenterprising, and naturally made all kinds of incredible mistakes in the era of the rise of personal computers in the original time and space, and now it is the same school.

The microprocessor used in Fangyuan's 32-bit personal computer is a complete version of MC68000 without any shrinkage, and the operating frequency is mainly 8MHz to 12MHz, and there is also a maximum operating frequency of 20MHz. As for the RAM, it starts at 1MB.

Among them, the flagship model - the second generation of Fangyuan computer Ultra is the most talked about, it adopts a symmetrical multi-processor architecture, equipped with two full versions of the MC68000, the content capacity reaches 4MB, becoming a very distinctive connection between Fangyuan personal computer and Fangyuan personal workstation.

Fangyuan personal computer is not to improve hardware specifications, but to simply pile up hardware, it is supported by advanced architecture and powerful software.

Take the IBM-PC with the current model 5150 as an example, even if it is equipped with 1MB of memory, it is useless, due to the limitations of BIOS and operating system, the content space of more than 640KB cannot be accessed at all without the help of special means.

This phenomenon is similar to the large-memory personal computers of the 21st century, once the capacity exceeds 4GB, the 32-bit version of Windows cannot access the excess memory.

Even because of the BIOS limitations, 4GB of RAM is actually only a little more than 3GB of capacity being used.

However, in the Fangyuan computer standard, there are no such restrictions, and all hardware resources can be called up without waste.

This is evidenced by the performance of the spreadsheet CGrid, which can only be described as a world of difference in speed when processing spreadsheet files with complex calculation rules on high-configuration and ordinary-configuration Fangyuan PCs.

In fact, even if users want to complain about the excessive performance of their PC hardware, there is no chance.

Although Tang Huan did not grasp the graphical user interface as attentively as Jobs, he was also advancing step by step and methodically, gradually adding graphical operation elements to his own software.

For example, all of Zheru's commercial software has been menu-based, and the operating system FreeDOS is also equipped with a shell similar to the Windows File Explorer in the original space-time, which is very convenient for users to operate.

And these high-level features are consuming the seemingly remaining hardware resources to varying degrees.

These flexibilities of Fangyuan computer standards also provide great convenience for compatible machine manufacturers to manufacture low-end personal computers, such as reducing the ISA bus from 16 bits to 8 bits, simplifying the design of memory modules and memory slots directly to soldering chips, eliminating real-time clock chips, reducing expansion slots, and other shrinkage methods.

In addition to the hardware indicators such as CPU running speed and memory capacity, with the gradual popularization of hard disks, hard disk capacity has also become an indicator that cannot be ignored in the hardware specifications of microcomputers.

At present, the 5.25-inch hard disk with a storage capacity of 10MB has become the standard configuration of Fangyuan personal computers.

As the advantages of this external memory became more and more obvious, microcomputer manufacturers such as IBM and Apple had to follow suit, driving Seagate's hard disk sales revenue to more than $100 million.

The maximum capacity of Seagate hard drives has reached 40MB, but it is much worse than the CD-ROM/CD-R, which came out this year.

Compared to these two external storage methods, FloppyDisk - FloppyDisk is old enough and accessible enough, and the most advanced product on the market is Sony's 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and floppy disk system, with two storage capacities: 720KB and 1.44MB.

Because of its long history, the market of Floppy is also a hundred schools of thought, almost every PC manufacturer has its own standard 5.25-inch Floppy, such as Woz, which developed the DiskII specifically for the Apple II.

Therefore, the current Sony 3.5-inch Floppy is still far from the goal of dominating the world.

According to the experience of the original time and space, Sony has made this kind of product to the extreme, from the 1980s to 2000, until it was replaced by CD-R/CD-RW and USB flash drives.

Therefore, Tang Huan was too lazy to get involved in this business, and directly used ready-made products to save worry.

However, the inherent shortcomings of traditional Floppy, as well as the gap between it and the hundreds of MB optical storage CD-ROM/CD-R, forced Tang Huan to start the idea of developing SuperFloppy, a super floppy disk.

Epson, who has the technical background of precision processing in manufacturing watches, successfully completed the task of ZIP super floppy disk issued by Tang Huan.

The biggest difference between it and the traditional Floppy is that it adopts certain technical concepts in the field of hard disks, such as the fact that the head and the disk are not in direct contact, while the capacity of the disk reaches 20MB, and there is room for further improvement. At the same time, the access speed also exceeds that of traditional Floppy.

Tang Huan read the hardware and software evaluation report of the ZIP super floppy disk and nodded with satisfaction.

With this product, the external memory form of Fangyuan personal computer perfectly covers all the needs of users, and at the same time, it can also warn Sony as a supplier to work harder.

"$200 for the drive, $20 for the platter, that's what it turned out to be. Yasukawa handed over another document.

"At this price, enterprise customers are completely affordable. Tang Huan casually put down the document and asked Yasukawa Hideaki instead, "Do you think we can buy Yamaha to complete the territory of the computer audio application field we are laying out?" (To be continued......)
