"I've wanted to try this kind of thing with you for a long time. Celine Dion watched Tang Huan go in and out with wide eyes, and said her little secret with a smile.
"That's why you insisted on seeing me. Tang Huan teased.
Celine Dion suddenly became shy, covered her eyes with her hands and explained: "If people don't solve this wish, they won't be able to concentrate on preparing for the Eurovision Song Contest." ”
"In this way, I really have a heavy responsibility to put your rising star in place. Tang Huan smiled and brought over a pillow and thoughtfully helped Xiao Nizi to cushion it.
At this stage, Celine Dion's singing career is based on French-speaking pop music, and she is already a veritable first-class star in French-speaking Canada.
Celine Dion's first song "Cen\'étaitqu\'unrêve" - "It's Just a Dream" - after it spread from Canada to France and also became a hit, her other single "D'amouroud\'amitié" - "Love and Friendship" achieved a higher level, selling 50,000 copies in Canada and 700,000 copies in France, achieving a golden song record.
I have to say that a strong native language area plays an incomparably important role in the development space of artists. If the current mainland market has the same influence as it did decades later, the achievements of the cultural industry in Hong Kong, whose creativity is commendable, may not be limited to a so-called golden age, as well as infinite memories and melancholy after a flash in the pan.
For Celine Dion personally, with Tang Huan's careful cultivation, she at least doesn't have to work hard to run around various performance venues like Deng Lijun did in her early years in order to make a living. In addition to concentrating on accumulating fame through record results, his main task is to participate in various music competitions, music festivals and other large-scale events, such as the Yamaha Music Festival in Tokyo, Japan, and the San Francisco Music Festival in the United States.
Celine Dion's achievements in the international market are highly recognized, and Switzerland, which speaks German, French, Italian and Romansh, asked her to represent her in the Eurovision Song Contest.
You know, after hosting the first "Eurovision Song Contest" as the host and winning the championship that year, Switzerland has been denied this honor, and now it is almost to the point of looking forward to it.
Although the EU is not yet in place, some of the former union structures have been in operation for decades, dating back to the European Coal and Steel Community, which was established in 1952. In 1958, the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community were established. Eventually, in 1967, they were integrated under the mechanisms of the European Community.
This trajectory of development is precisely the expression of the idea of European unity.
In the field of radio and television in Europe, there is a similar alliance, that is, the European Broadcasting Union, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the European Broadcasting Union, or EBU, which unites a large number of radio and television stations in Europe and North Africa.
Since its inception in 1956, Eurovision Song Contest has become the world's largest known singing competition, attracting hundreds of millions of viewers every year.
Obviously, the Eurovision Song Contest is a hugely influential stage where individuals can achieve great achievements not only in national honours, but also in the form of individual achievements, as exemplified by the Swedish pop band ABBA, which won in 1974 and became an international superstar.
Tang Huan also wanted to replicate the successful model of the ABBA band, so he operated Celine Dion to participate in the "Eurovision Song Contest", and even tried to provide some off-site assistance, but unfortunately it was not easy to operate.
After so many years of development, the mechanism of "Eurovision Song Contest" itself has been perfected.
Each year's Eurovision Song Contest is held in the country where the winner of the previous year is held, and there is no restriction on the language of the song sung, but it must be a new song composed within one year, that is, after the previous year's Eurovision Song Contest and before the current year's Eurovision Song Contest national audition.
The participating country sends a singer or an orchestra to sing a song of their choice, the singer must be at least 16 years old, cover the works of other singers is not allowed, lip-synching is not allowed, more than 6 singers are allowed to sing at the same time, and animals are not allowed to participate in the performance. Songs are not allowed to be longer than three minutes.
In addition to these strict rules of the competition, the scoring process of "Eurovision Song Contest" is even more distinctive, and the phenomenon of huddles has become an unspoken rule.
For example, the Nordic countries of Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland are certainly voting for each other, and the English-speaking countries of Ireland and the United Kingdom are also supporting each other.
As a result, this pattern is in an elusive check and balance, and even those old lottery companies will occasionally miscalculate the odds and be hit by the big dark horse.
Tang Huan studied for a long time, and finally came up with the most brutal method, which was to directly disrupt the rhythm of competitors, and then weaken their strength.
Just yesterday, the media just reported a shocking news: Belgium cheated, and the singer Sandra King who participated in the competition said that he was over 16 years old, but in fact he was only 13 years old.
In the face of ironclad evidence, the embarrassed Belgium was immediately in a dilemma. The final of the Eurovision Song Contest is scheduled for May 3, and with less than a month left, changing the participating singers is almost the same as being out.
Gain's participation in the "Eurovision Song Contest" is essentially a money-burning process of packaging, publicity, and promotion, and it is stipulated that new songs must be created within the last year, and there is a matching process with the singer, and there is a stage of recognition, otherwise how to win the vote of the member states where the phenomenon of mountains is widespread?
Tang Huancai didn't bother to pay attention to how Belgium was in a dilemma, since he cheated, he had to be mentally prepared to accept the truth in the daylight.
In addition to being startled by the sudden terrorist bombing attack and wanting to change his office to stabilize his mind, he also planned to visit the European Broadcasting Union to promote his high-tech products. And the upcoming "Eurovision Song Contest" can use his new products.
After technology has passed the stage of creation and invention from zero to one, the speed of development will be significantly accelerated.
LCD is an example, Epson, a Japanese base with complete resources, has just sent a recently completed product to the Hannover Messe for appearance, which surprised Tang Huan and was also very happy.
This achievement is Videowall - TV curtain wall, its emergence is not only due to the continuous breakthrough of display technology, but also because the graphics card technology of Fangyuan computer has developed to a new stage.
2D acceleration has become standard in high-end graphics workstation graphics cards, and multi-monitor technology is the icing on the cake.
There are naturally many places for TV curtain walls to show their strengths, first of all, outdoor advertising. Large-scale events such as "Eurovision Song Contest" are also indispensable.
Through Tang Huan's personal lobbying, this year's "Eurovision Song Contest" will make two major breakthroughs in technology.
First of all, two huge TV walls were introduced, one on each side of the stage, to provide a new viewing experience by presenting the dynamic images of the performers in the backstage lounge in a timely manner.
Secondly, a new scoreboard supported by the Fangyuan computer will also be put into use.
In the future, live TV will only use more and more IT technology. Tang Huan has long aimed at this high-end field and carried out corresponding research and development.
The "Eurovision Song Contest" nodded in agreement, and the Asian side preliminarily adjusted the parameters in place and prepared to ship.
Tang Huan was very satisfied with this, and couldn't help but pat Celine Dion's buttocks and quipped: "In this year's "Eurovision Song Contest", I not only want to promote newcomers, but also promote new technologies and new products. ”
Celine Dion smiled and waved her little fist to help conclude: "We want both people and money." ”
Seeing that Xiao Nizi was so well-behaved and clingy, Tang Huan stayed in Switzerland with the other party who was eating marrow and knowing the taste for a few more days, which could be regarded as helping him recharge his batteries to achieve his best condition and prepare for the "Eurovision Song Contest".
Almost in the blink of an eye, on April 15, the United States, which had completed its preparations, began to launch air strikes on Libya and respond forcefully to the Berlin discotheque bombing.
In fact, the "pushback" foreign policy pursued by Reagan since he took office has inevitably intensified the contradictions, and in turn, many Americans have suffered outside the United States in recent years.
One of the most tragic was on November 23, 1983, when a car bomb attacked a U.S. military camp in Lebanon, Middle East, killing up to 241 U.S. Marines.
For Reagan, the sky had fallen.
The Berlin discotheque bombing killed three American servicemen, and Reagan did not let go of Muammar Gaddafi and insisted on doing Libya once.
At 1:54 a.m. local time on April 15, the U.S. Navy and Air Force completed air coordination and entered combat mode.
First of all, the US military dispatched EA-6 Prowler electronic warfare aircraft to begin electronic jamming of Libya's air defense missile guidance radar and wireless communications.
Immediately afterwards, carrier-based aircraft of the naval aviation took the lead in launching missile attacks on the Libyan army's air defense positions, destroying five of its ground radar stations and forcing other radar stations to shut down, paralyzing the entire Libyan air defense system and creating favorable conditions for carrying out the main attack.
While carrier-based aircraft suppressed Libyan air defense positions, 16 F-111 fighter-bombers from British air bases and 14 A-6 Intruder attack planes taking off from the aircraft carriers Coral Sea and America formed five air strike formations and launched simultaneous attacks on five predetermined targets in Tripoli and Benghazi at 2 o'clock on 15 April.
In the Tripoli direction: 3 formations attacked the residence of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, the Azizia barracks, the seat of the Libyan General Staff, the military area of Tripoli International Airport and the "commando training center" of the Sidi Bilal barracks;
In the Benghazi direction: 2 formations attacked Benghazi Benina military airfield and Benghazi barracks.
By 2:12, the US air raid ended. The duration before and after is 18 minutes, of which the main attack time is only 11 minutes.
In this air raid, the US military dispatched more than 150 naval and air force planes, blew up 14 Libyan military planes, damaged many of them, destroyed five Libyan radar stations, and killed and injured more than 700 Libyan soldiers and civilians.
Gaddafi himself was slightly wounded, his sixth son, Saif al-Qaddafi, was also injured, and his one-and-a-half-year-old adopted daughter died in the airstrike.
It can be said that the United States has achieved a tactical victory.
Tang Huan's hands are not long enough to care about the combat strength of the US military and the results achieved. What he is really interested in is what kind of effect CNN's report on the Gulf War will achieve in the original time and space.
The United States' air strikes on Libya this time are certainly not intended to kill the other side at once, in addition to beating the warning, the main purpose is to give an explanation to the country.
Seeing through this essence, Tang Huan entrusted George W. Bush to take a step and let the cable news network take on the task of directly hitting the scene.
In addition, one of EA's new game development teams is also responsible for tracking the entire event.
This year, the North American home game console market has fully recovered, and everyone has finally seen the moon, and the hard days have come to an end. Tang Huan plans to launch a more powerful third-generation Xiaobawang game console, and the military-type RPG will become a selling point. The U.S. military airstrike on Libya will be an adrenaline-pumping fodder for players.
Not to mention, CNN's efficiency is really high — of course, mainly because of the use of Tang Huan's high-tech digital program processing system, which broadcast the U.S. air strikes on Libya almost live.
Since Libya has repeatedly expressed its support for the many terrorist activities against the United States in Europe and the Middle East since the severance of diplomatic relations with the United States in 1982, there are no different voices in the United States, and everyone is ******** enjoying the "war blockbusters" produced by CNN.
As a result, everyone's reaction was similar to Tang's, while industry insiders saw the growing power of digital multimedia equipment worth as little as tens of thousands of dollars and as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It's like an arms race in the media field, but in order not to be left behind by competitors, you really have to obediently buy a set of such guys.
