Don't be in a hurry to read it yet, it's a bit busy today, so this chapter hasn't been finished yet, so let's take a place first. Excuse me! I'll go back to the full chapter in two hours.

……

Zhou Liang Shuyi came directly to the door with the interview team, so she naturally came prepared. The festive season is also a good time for TV stations to expand their influence. Since Tang Huan came to Xiangjiang at the right time, it is necessary to give full play to the appeal of his prominent boss.

Taking advantage of Xie Ning's makeup, Tang Huan made a little draft, and then talked eloquently in front of the camera according to the arrangement of the staff of Media Asia TV.

"Time flies, unconsciously, 1985 has arrived, and I am here to wish all my fathers and fellow villagers a happy New Year's Day and all the best."

"For well-known reasons, everyone's psychology is more delicate at this stage. My attitude tends to be pragmatic, no matter how the situation changes, even if the existing 5 million people in Xiangjiang have lost 1 million, then the remaining 4 million people will have to live a good life. ”

"In any case, in the future development blueprint, Heung Kong is still the base camp of Qinhe Group. I also believe that the international status that Heung Kong now has, including finance, is still irreplaceable. ”

"In my opinion, Xiangjiang, which has few land and many people, can have the status of today's 'Asian Tigers', relying on the spirit of the Lion Rock condensed by millions of people. Therefore, in the future, everyone will continue to contribute to themselves and the entire Xiangjiang as much as they can. ”

"Personally, I hope to bring some international sports to Hong Kong, such as sports. The Heung Kong International Marathon has been held for the second time, and its popularity and stimulating effect on the consumer economy are gradually being revealed. The second half of this year. I hope to bring the Hong Kong Open Tennis Tournament to everyone. ”

"Hong Kong is already home to some of the most famous skyscrapers in Asia and the world. I think that in addition to these modern labels, our Oriental Pearl should also have more irreplaceable soft power business cards, such as tourist attractions, shopping paradises and so on. ”

……

The current governor of Hong Kong really doesn't necessarily have Tang Huan's hands and eyes. So his New Year's Day talk. As soon as it was released by Media Asia TV, it immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

From this, the people at the bottom saw that Qinhe, the first consortium in Xiangjiang, would not run away and still continue to take root in the ground; The businessman additionally saw the business opportunities that Tang Huan was creating.

Obviously, Xiangjiang also has an important business card, Tang Huan didn't say it, that is, Hong Kong films and Hong Kong dramas.

You know, the surrounding areas of Xiangjiang, such as Treasure Island, Singapore, etc. With the rapid development of the economy, it has also produced a considerable amount of travel capital, and has a strong desire to go out.

Because there is still some heat in the integration of the resources of the Xiangjiang film industry, Tang Huan does not want to startle the snake, so as not to attract the collective impact of these funds.

It has to be said that the Hong Kong government's active non-interference in Hong Kong, a free Hong Kong, is both good and bad, and it is impossible to say in a word. On the one hand. Tang Huan's resource integration plan is easy to deal with; On the other hand, he also has to guard against more foreign pretenders.

Compared to these old industries with a long history, films. Tang Huan basically has no opponents to promote the sports industry. However, he also encountered some minor troubles in the fighting matches held in Stormwind City in the Lan Kwai Fong area.

The first is the live broadcast of Media Asia TV, which was complained by some viewers that the program was barbaric and taught bad teenagers; The second is that the people of Xiangjiang, who are prevalent in gambling, will naturally not let go of the opportunity to make money with the odds of winning and losing. This has given rise to some illegal phenomena.

In response to these disputes, Media Asia TV and the tournament organizers tried to adjust the time of the competition as much as possible, and on the other hand, they tried their best to promote that it was a legitimate project recognized by the world and that it was on the right track, and even brought the boxing events collected from the United States to testify.

People from all walks of life in Hong Kong have made a positive statement about the positive role of social security in "one boxing gym is worth six prisons". Reactions were mixed. The half-hearted Hong Kong government has an ambiguous attitude, and the biggest measure is only to urge the event to be regular, and cooperate with the police to crack down on illegal activities such as black boxing and peripheral gambling.

In fact, the arena inside Stormwind is very popular. When Tang Huan came to inspect, he happened to encounter a lightweight match that was about to start, and the audience under the ring was crowded.

It is a bit exaggerated that the previous entertainment program was a girl with a hot body, showing off aerobics, which won the audience's long-lasting applause and whistles.

"How do I feel like this woman is a little familiar?" Tang Huan asked casually with a smile, attracting a roll of the eyes of Weng Jingjing, who was accompanying him.

"Maybe the boss still has an impression of the movie "God of Gamblers"." The manager replied respectfully, "Her name is Michiko Nishiwaki, she is a bodybuilding champion and weightlifting champion in Japan, and now she is a contracted artist under the DreamWorks International Artist Department, playing the role of Kikuko, the female assistant of the Japanese Hiroji Kamiyama in "God of Gamblers", and Zhou Yanfa bet on dice, and the dragon tattoo sashimi is amazing......"

"The rambling goes on and on." Weng Jingjing flew over angrily, and the manager didn't dare to hide, so he stopped talking with a smile.

Stormwind City is engaged in the entertainment industry, so it is inevitable to deal with the gang forces in Xiangjiang, so it employs a lot of "professionals", this manager is a related household introduced by Weng Jingjing's eldest sister's mother, and in terms of seniority, he is a generation shorter than Weng Jingjing.

Tang Huan smiled, "In this way, she is here to make extra money." ”

"We brought it from DreamWorks, and the channel is on the right track." The manager hurriedly explained: "These Japanese who came to Xiangjiang for development, the star journey is not so easy, and they are all playing some supporting roles, it seems that Michiko Nishiwaki recently took over a movie directed by Hong Jinbao, and we can be regarded as helping people to make the best use of it, if these audiences in the audience are pleasing to the eye, it will increase popularity." ”

"This kind of comprehensive allocation of resources is very good." Tang Huan nodded approvingly.

As he spoke, with a gong sounding, the game in the ring officially began.

"This challenger's name is Billy Chow, and he's a Canadian featherweight kickboxing champion." The manager whispered.

He introduced it so deliberately, naturally for a reason, Billy Zhou on the stage attacked very sharply, forcing the defender to be very passive.

After watching three rounds, Weng Jingjing yawned. Pulling Tang Huan's arm and shaking it, he said coquettishly: "It's boring, let's hurry up and visit the latest digital karaoke." ”

Tang Huan nodded in agreement, and left a word of praise before leaving, "Good job, these contestants may be able to transfer to the entertainment industry." ”

……

The concept of karaoke has been around for a long time. The recognized first-of-its-kind record is that Daisuke Inoue, a musician from the Japanese city of Kobe, invented the first karaoke machine in 1971.

Although this form of entertainment is not new in concept, the way of implementation has evolved from tape to video tape and laser disc.

The dominant companies in this field are still mainly from Japan, such as Pioneer Electronics, which launched a commercial laser karaoke system in October 1982.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, Japan itself is the birthplace and the largest consumer of this application method.

But there is one thing, the development of karaoke at this stage is still very limited. The biggest obstacle is the commercialization of equipment and the copyright of songs.

As far as equipment is concerned, video tapes, laser discs and other karaoke systems are included, and the actual use effect is not satisfactory.

For example, the number of accompaniment tracks that these systems can choose from has really increased, and the problem with repertoire retrieval has come to the fore – videotapes can only be retrieved sequentially. The improvement of the laser video disc is also very limited, and users are very patient in the process of selecting songs.

Other than that. Another thing these systems have in common is that they are all simulated. Regardless of the operating mechanism of laser discs, the laser reads the signals pre-burned on the disc, but these signals are stored by frequency modulated analogue, and music CDs that are also read by lasers belong to two categories.

As a result, the existing karaoke system also encountered a thorny problem - subtitles.

Judging from the terminal experience that ordinary consumers are familiar with in the original time and space. At this stage, the most fatal shortcomings of the karaoke system are these two points. As for the sound system, it is a traditional field that has been developed with good results.

Then the fundamental solution is obvious, a digitally stored, randomly accessible VCD. is the best way to do it.

At present, VHS home video recorders are in the hot sales stage, although Tang Huan's VCD system research and development has made small achievements, but it cannot be launched too early to grab their own jobs. Even if he doesn't care, the members of the alliance will inevitably oppose it, and the people will be scattered, and the team will not be easy to lead.

In view of this, Tang Huan's VCD system application is now mainly in the high-end field, and the previous broadcast-grade digital video non-linear editing system Digital-1 is the first achievement; The current commercial-grade digital random search karaoke system, DKaraoke-1, is the second achievement.

In terms of product implementation architecture, DKaraoke-1 is similar to Digital-1, but does not have the latter's non-linear editing function; In terms of storage, there is no expensive enterprise-class 10-inch hard disk system, but more VCD storage; The type and number of coprocessors are also correspondingly reduced, after all, they do not need multimedia hardware encoding functions, and multimedia hardware decoding functions are sufficient.

Shrinkage such as these based on practical goals also makes the DKaraoke-1 system affordable for entertainment venues.

Of course, DKaraoke-1 is not a product that can be simply cut all the way from Digital-1, it has been carefully designed and optimized in terms of retrieval, subtitles, etc., especially adding relatively complete music digital rights management.

Among the guests invited by Tang Huan today were people from the Hong Kong Composers and Authors Association, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Hong Kong Chapter and other music organizations to discuss the digital rights management of the DKaraoke-1 karaoke system.

Of course, in the small pool of Xiangjiang, Tang Huan can completely ignore various record industry organizations and play on karaoke by himself, and correspondingly, the money he earns is also put into his own pocket.

However, this little benefit could not satisfy Tang Huan's appetite, and he had more ambitious goals.

You must know that the reason why Tang Huan chose Xiangjiang as the world premiere location of the DKaraoke-1 system is mainly to quickly create a successful commercial profit model, and then use it as a template to impress the powerful factions in Japan and the United States who control the record industry, so as to leverage these two markets that are truly worthy of Jinshan.

The IT industry should remember to be arrogant and think that as soon as the cross-era technology comes out, users will respond and the market will be in place in one step. If this is really the case, Apple only needs one Woz is enough, and Jobs, who has a perverse personality, hurry to play somewhere else.

The reason why karaoke has not been developed on a large scale in Japan, the birthplace of Japan, is due to copyright restrictions in addition to technology.

If the karaoke system is good enough to attract lucrative revenues that convince the record industry to venture into this new field, the problem will be solved.

But the concept and application of karaoke, after more than a decade of development, still seems crude, and the record industry's disappointment with it is almost deep-rooted. This made Tang Huan have great confidence in the functions provided by his DKaraoke-1 system, and he had to find a way to convince the traditional forces.
