Chapter 0143: Aaron is going to Hollywood
The next day, seeing off Madonna, who had been developed in various scenic spots, Tang Huan came to the company to grasp a few important things.
First of all, in order to avoid getting into trouble when passing the customs, he asked Ni Guangnan to sort out all kinds of materials and return to the mainland in the near future to recommend the technical standards of Chinese computer informatization.
The second is to gather CPU R&D talents poached by headhunters, these engineers are basically unknown in history, but they have solid skills, are willing to work honestly, and are willing to travel to Asia, which is enough.
Tang Huan has set up a CPU R&D lab in Singapore, where various conditions meet his requirements, and at the same time, it also meets the risk aversion principle that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Some of these people will be assigned to Japan to help Sharp, which has already obtained MOS6502CPU authorization, to start production as soon as possible.
Although Sharp has produced 8-bit CPUs compatible with Z80 before, after all, the technical issues involved are more complicated, and Tang Huan needs efficiency and can't tolerate all kinds of unnecessary waste of resources.
Others will be directly arranged in Singapore to lead the Chinese assistants selected by Tang Huan to carry out work in design, production and other aspects.
The design of the 8-bit CPU, Tang Huan can be completed directly on a large drawing, and even without microcode, it is completely hardwired. But a 32-bit RISC architecture CPU is not good, and he needs a lot of helpers to carry out his intentions.
In the semiconductor industry, CPUs should be the products with the highest degree of integration and the most technical difficulty, and even if they have the ability to carry out design, they may not be able to produce them.
The production process involves photolithography, etching, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition and other steps. Do it over and over again. You can imagine how much cutting-edge processing equipment is used.
And these tangible things are not something that can be bought with money alone. Especially for the mainland.
It can be said that Tang Huan is taking a dazzling roundabout route, not only to develop a general-purpose CPU rooted in the East, but also to bring out a group of Chinese technical elites, which is the way to long-term development.
Before leaving, Tang Huan met Hawkins again.
Now that he has had a good start in contact with the top management of Luen Mei, Tang Huan has to talk to Hawkins about the value of Luen Mei that he likes.
For example, the "007" series. There is also a mature and complete distribution capability. As for the purpose of facilitating the promotion of Chinese-language film and television works, there is no need to tell this subordinate.
Watching the back of the boss leaving, Hawkins grabbed his hair. I just want to make games, and I have initially occupied the first gold position in the industry. I thought that I would focus on how to suppress the pursuers behind, but I didn't expect to have a connection with Hollywood.
It's funny how much the cake can be done, with an admiring smile on Hawkins' face.
……
After Tang Huan arrived in Xiangjiang, he came to Kai Tak Airport to greet Lu Xiaohu. Without saying a few words, the other party pointed in another direction, "Look." Cheng Long who played "Senior Brother Out of the Horse". ”
Tang Huan looked over and saw that Cheng Long was being hugged by the assistants. Gradually, there is a big brother's style, and it looks like he is carrying a lot of luggage, which is going to travel far.
"I know him, go over and say hi." After Tang Huan finished speaking, he stepped forward and shouted, "Ah Long, where are you going?" ”
With the success of "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", Cheng Long, who was originally supported by Jiahe, has become more and more important, and his heart has naturally improved.
Following the prestige, sure enough, Cheng Long recognized that the other party was the "Mr. 200 million U.S. dollars" he met when he accompanied his eldest brother Qin Xianglin to date Lin Qingfang.
That's right, this is Cheng Long, who is not highly educated, gave Tang Huan a nickname that he thought was very appropriate, and he also wrote the number of 200 million on that business card, repeatedly counted how many zeros, counted several times, how many movies were made, and the box office could earn these money.
This business card has played an inspirational role for Cheng Long, even if Qin Xianglin once said that the other party was a liar, he did not change his view of making money.
"Mr. Tang, it's a coincidence that we met here, and I'm going to go to the United States." Cheng Long replied with a humble smile.
Tang Huan nodded suddenly, it seems that this is Golden Harvest to promote Jackie Chan to enter Hollywood, although according to the historical trajectory, "Killer Trench" failed at the box office, but this circle still has to go on a trip.
In this way, Hong Kong's filmmakers can have a clear understanding of Hollywood.
Of course, Golden Harvest's tuition payment really made Zou Wenhuai's heart ache.
"It seems that Aaron is deeply valued by Boss Zou and is finally going to Hollywood to develop, and I wish everything well in advance here." Tang Huan said auspicious words that he didn't want money.
"Then borrow Mr. Tang's auspicious words." Hearing the blessing of the big man, Cheng Long smiled.
Tang Huan's gaze immediately turned to Chen Ziqiang, who was looking at him curiously next to Cheng Long, this gold medal manager is amazing, he is one of the members of the "Silver Rat Team", and he has a wide range of contacts.
During the boom of the Hong Kong Film Market from the 1980s to the 1990s, Chen Ziqiang used to be the agent of a large number of celebrities in the film and music world, such as Jackie Chan, Cheng Yuling, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Zhong Chuhong, Wang Zuxian, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Leung Ka-fai, Zhang Aijia, Carina Lau, Liu Qingyun, Wu Junru, Qin Xianglin, Zhao Yazhi, Jet Li, Chen Chong, etc.
From this series of names, it can be seen how important Chen Ziqiang's position in the field of brokers was at that time.
At that time, there were media reports that Xiangjiang black social funds were involved in the film industry, including Chen Ziqiang who was intimidated by guns and was forced to hand over Andy Lau's schedule, and also helped Zheng Yuling take on nine movies at the same time, and public opinion was in an uproar.
In the entertainment industry, Chen Ziqiang himself also has gossip news around.
Mr. Chan is said to have married a hotel secretary in Singapore in 1974, but the relationship lasted only two years because he understood the need to be honest about his "orientation."
Future. Cheng Long and Yang Shoucheng are getting closer and closer. Chen Ziqiang has worked with him for more than 30 years. It is still inevitable that the end of the song will be scattered.
But now, Chen Ziqiang and Cheng Long have a close relationship like brothers, even if the young Cheng Long is self-inflated, arrogant, and began to play big names because of the first wave of career peaks in his life, he has also handled all kinds of contradictions well.
"Aaron has Mr. Chen as his agent, and he is becoming more and more powerful." Tang Huan was the first to speak, he still valued this gold medal agent very much.
"Where did Mr. Tang make his fortune? I even know a little bit of it. Chen Ziqiang was very surprised.
"Hehe, my business is a bit messy now, but in Xiangjiang. opened an entertainment company called DreamWorks, which has an intersection with the entertainment industry, and I have heard of elites like Mr. Chen. ”
Tang Huan explained with a smile as he took the paper and pen from Lu Xiaohu's hand and handed them to Cheng Long.
"Aaron, please sign a name, these brothers of mine have recently become obsessed with your movies."
Maybe it's really turnip greens that they have their own loves, Tang Huan has no interest in kung fu movies now. But young people like Lu Xiaohu who came from the mainland watched it with a lot of taste.
"My brother and I were divided into several squads. I went to watch your kung fu movies when I was on vacation, and I watched "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" four or five times. ”
Lu Xiaohu, who deliberately emphasized it, came to Cheng Long's side and encouraged the other party to sign a few more names, and Cheng Long was also happy to move his pen like flying.
"Don't be so greedy, four is enough for you." Tang Huan couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded Lu Xiaohu.
Cheng Long didn't care, in the final analysis, Tang Huan's identity was here, and under the other party's gaze, the big-name style that had gradually been cultivated recently did not dare to show it at all.
After Tang Huan said goodbye and walked away, Chen Ziqiang said in a low voice: "This Mr. Tang is actually the owner of DreamWorks? Recently, the TV series "Shanghai Tang", which has been hotly discussed throughout Xiangjiang, is not produced by this company. ”
"I said, how can such a character be a liar." After Cheng Long muttered, he shook his head with a wry smile.
Although "Junior Brother Out" performed well at the box office, it is just a kung fu film, and where can it compare with the various topics provided by the more in-depth and breadth-based TV series "Shanghai Tang", the limelight is naturally much weaker.
……
"Go to Zhao Yazhi's mother's house first." After getting in the car, Tang Huan ordered, "I'll go and see how she is." ”
Lu Xiaohu smiled hesitantly, nodded his head again and again, Tang Huan looked unpleasant, and asked angrily: "Has the matter of that photo been investigated clearly?" ”
"We basically figured out that it was a photo taken by a reporter from the Oriental Daily, but the newspaper pressed it and didn't publish it. At first, this guy didn't care, but after the ratings of "Shanghai Tang" became popular, he secretly sold it to the tabloid at a high price. At that time, the owner of the tabloid lost all his fortune in a Macau casino, so he took the photo as a lifesaver, and followed up with the subsequent hype, and actually made a small profit. In addition, Leigh's TV was also secretly beating the side drum on the side and causing it to break. Lu Xiaohu explained seriously.
Tang Huan frowned, "What is the situation with this reporter and the boss of the tabloids?" I can't be used as a tool to make money. ”
"They're still the same, we haven't taken action, just waiting to see what your opinion is?" Lu Xiaohu smiled coldly, "There are many ways to clean them up, according to Zheng Gang's meaning, they will directly beat people to death, but I don't feel that there is technical content." ”
"Oh? Then you tell me about the technical content. Tang Huan laughed with interest.
"We've put a lot of ads in the major newspapers, and it's easy to ban a young journalist just because of that connection. As for the boss, his hole was too big to make up for the little money he earned, and as soon as his true financial situation was made public, creditors would surely flock to the door, and the newspaper would basically go out of business. Lu Xiaohu's eyes flashed with a chill, "I can see it, the water here in Xiangjiang is really deep, people are good at being bullied and horses are good at riding, we must deter some young people in advance." ”
"Yes, it's much more technical than that bloody hula method." Tang Huan smiled.
At this time, the destination arrived, and the two put away the edge on their bodies and got off the car with a smile.
Tang Huan found a gift and stepped forward to knock on the door, Lu Xiaohu picked up an apple and smashed it at the paparazzi squatting aside, scaring the other party into hugging the rats. (To be continued......)
