When Tang Huan came to the office of the comics department, he was greeted not by a group of subordinates who followed the rules and respected him, but the sound of heated discussions, it turned out that there were two TVs and Xiaobawang game consoles placed here, Feng Zhiming and Ma Rongcheng, two senior brothers, were engrossed in playing the first video game with a Chinese cultural background adapted and developed from Jin Yong's novel "Dragon Babu" - "Dragon Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword", their master Shangguan Xiaowei and others commented with great interest.

Don't be fooled by the old-fashioned relationship between the so-called master and apprentice and the brother and sister, among the people present, Shangguan Xiaobao, who was born in 1945, is the eldest, and the rest are basically born in the 1950s and 1960s, and the age gap is not necessarily as big as the title suggests.

This phenomenon is probably caused by the social status of the comics industry and the ecology of the industry, and the shrewd Huang Yulang pushed the comic production to a whole as early as the early 1970s, and vigorously pursued the master-apprentice system, first accepting the "Three Swordsmen", and then having the "Four Great Generals", and combined with a group of assistants in the later period, collectively known as the "Royal Forest Army".

However, this so-called mentoring system is actually nothing more than the relationship between employers and employees, and in the final analysis, it is to control people.

Because, up to now, the bosses of Xiangjiang Comics Production and Publishing House are all industry masters with excellent drawing ability, so it is not difficult to see that many people have set up their own sects after learning skills.

After DreamWorks took these people under its command, it also had to consider this complex interpersonal relationship in terms of personnel management.

The development of "Heavenly Dragon Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword" has been completed, and Tang Huan asked these traditional artists to test it by the way. So that they can understand their work. Except for movies. There is another kind of future that can be adapted.

It's also interesting to say, Hu Yinmeng, a talented young woman, is not ordinarily powerful in front of these cartoonists, and when everyone saw her there, they quickly turned straight, like Ma Rongcheng and Feng Zhiming, young people in their twenties, and even their faces turned slightly red, with a look of admiration in their eyes.

Tang Huan sat down in the center. On the left hand side are Hu Yinmeng, Zhu Bangfu, Sima Ling and other veterans, and on the right hand side are Shangguan Xiaobao, Shangguan Xiaowei, Ma Rongcheng, Feng Zhiming, Niu Lao and others.

After looking around, Tang Huan, who felt that he was full of talents, nodded with satisfaction.

In the final analysis, at this stage, the economic strength of the comics industry in Hong Kong has not attracted the attention of other media groups, and at the same time, the interpersonal relationships in the comics industry are complicated, and some members of the "Shangguan family" are hesitant to join Huang Yulang's command, so they can easily stew the "Shangguan family" with a spoonful.

Originally, in time and space, the 1980s was the golden age of Hong Kong-made comics, and Huang Yulang fully acquired the comic companies of Shangguan Xiaobao and Shangguan Xiaowei. Since then, it has dominated the rivers and lakes and opened the monopoly era in the history of Xiangjiang comics. It has created its "four masterpieces" - "Chinese Heroes", "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Drunken Fist", and "Rulai Divine Palm".

But now, Ma Rongcheng, the chief writer of "Chinese Heroes", has been packaged and recruited into the dream factory, and Huang Yulang is tantamount to breaking an arm and falling a cash cow.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after reading the just-released "Heavenly Dragon Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword", you must have understood what purpose DreamWorks invited you here and formed a separate department."

Seeing everyone nodding excitedly, Tang Huan smiled slightly, and then poured a basin of cold water on them, "Although the prospect is like this, but first of all, you need to increase the influence of your works in the readership, I don't need to say much about this truth, I think you will also understand." ”

Ma Rongcheng nodded desperately again, saying that he knew it very well in his heart.

Tang Huan bowed slightly, "Then, let's work hard, the treatment should satisfy you." Next, I would like to share some of my thoughts on the work of this comic department. ”

In the original time and space, the reason why Huang Yulang was able to run the Yulang Group in the 1980s and successfully went public, reaching a net worth of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, in addition to the industry monopoly, there is also an important factor, that is, to imitate the American counterparts, the comics are divided into assembly line-style assembly line operations, and each step is handled by different people.

Tang Huan can't commit any kind of monopoly in this industry, as long as he integrates the production of Chinese entertainment content, he already has enough advantages, but this model of division of labor and assistance must be introduced.

After Tang Huanyang said freely, he pointed at Ma Rongcheng, "Your work "Chinese Heroes" will operate according to the model I said. ”

Originally, "Chinese Heroes" began to be serialized in "Golden News" in early September 1980, and now it naturally has a prototype of creation.

Ma Rongcheng, who was named and promoted by the big boss and was only 19 years old this year, was so excited that his eyes lit up, and he obviously felt the envy of the brothers next to him.

"So be it, I'm a layman who can't talk too much, so as not to interfere with your professional work." Tang Huan showed a smile like a spring breeze, and after chatting with Shangguan Xiaobao and Shangguan Xiaowei alone, he got up and left.

……

"Two, DreamWorks cultural industry affairs, share more, don't tire my beautiful secretary." Tang Huan ignored Hu Yinmeng's white eyes and admonished Zhu Bangfu and Sima Ling, causing them to laugh.

"Don't be unappreciative, your abilities are indeed improving step by step, but in the process of coping with the gradual improvement of the DreamWorks structure, it is also very hard, and I can't dry up and fish." Tang Huan said earnestly.

"If you think I'm incompetent, just remove me." Hu Yinmeng snorted, walked a few steps quickly, and threw the three men behind.

"Miss Hu is an indispensable beautiful scenery in DreamWorks." Zhu Bangfu praised sincerely, "You really can't work too hard." ”

They joked and came to the game development department to visit the members of the project team of "Dragon Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword".

In Tang Huan's opinion, "Tianlong Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword" can only be said to be decent, but it is enough to cope with the current Chinese-speaking market. What's more, these young people worked overtime for several months in a row. Dedication to the extreme.

"Say it. What additional rewards do you need? Tang Huan smiled and teased these subordinates.

……

"I want to help my sister ask for a signed record of Zhang Delan."

"Me too."

"I want a group photo."

……

Obviously, the last to speak is the most ambitious.

But it can also be seen that the jade singer created by DreamWorks has begun to have the charm of an idol.

"I thought you wanted a wife." Tang Huan made a regretful expression and shook his head gently.

"Boss, we regret it, let's change this condition." The guys hurriedly changed their tunes.

"It's late." Tang Huan laughed and turned his head to command Hu Yinmeng. "Find a time to take care of these boys' requests."

Hu Yinmeng nodded, recorded it in the notebook, and she could see that Tang Huan attached great importance to this group of technicians, and they should be cultivated as technical seeds.

"Now that this game has been developed, it should be appreciated by Jin Daxia." Tang Huan groaned.

TV series and movies adapted from Jin Yong's works, usually the actors' makeup photos will be taken at them, which seems to have become a routine, Tang Huan feels that he also respects this face.

"I'll get in touch." Hu Yinmeng stretched out his wrist. showed Tang Huan the time, "Wang Jing and Cai Jiguang have already arrived." ”

"Then go to the conference room and take a look at the early versions of "Bravo" and "The King of a Thousand Kings." Tang Huan made a gesture. He still attaches great importance to the first movie that DreamWorks invested in.

……

"This Chen Baiqiang has been very popular recently, and he plays a role in TVB's popular drama "Turns". Wang Jing introduced the grapevine to Tang Huan, "It is estimated that he can pull the box office of this movie." ”

Tang Huan smiled meaningfully, "Turns", it is estimated that he is about to be forced to cut in half by Li's TV.

"When are you going to come up with some money to build a theater, save me from asking those annoying managers, it's annoying." Hu Yinmeng complained.

Good guy, what is called "taking out some money to build a theater", this tone is too casual, it's just not enough to take Hong Kong dollars.

Wang muttered carefully, tilting his ears sideways, intending to listen to the inside news, even Cai Jiguang.

"It's just these two years, bear with it first." Tang Huan replied briefly, at present, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is still in an upward channel, and when the next depression period comes, he can pick up bargains.

In fact, Hu Yinmeng has already reviewed the quality of these two films, so Tang Huan didn't need to watch all the content of the movie "Applause", and put it down after watching it for more than ten minutes, and then Wang Jing's TV series "The King of a Thousand Kings".

The theme song is "Steal the Heart with Love" composed by Gu Jiahui, written by Huang Zhan, and sung by Wang Mingquan, Tang Huan nodded with satisfaction, and after enjoying the essence of the series specially edited by Wang Jing, he smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, you can make a movie." ”

"Mr. Tang, I have prepared a movie script, you can check it." Wang Jing climbed up the pole and took out a manuscript and handed it over.

What is called being ready at all times, it is Wang Jing's current state, and Cai Jiguang was stunned, and a thought couldn't help but flash in his heart, this is the gap between being a person, I might as well be.

"The Legend of the Sparrow Heroes." Tang Huan read the title and couldn't help but smile bitterly, his favorite gambling film is, of course, the "God of Gamblers", as long as there are Wang Jing and Zhou Runfa, the essence of this movie can be similar to the version in the previous life.

But he thought about it again, after all, the king of bad movies is still a novice, and he can't be in a hurry.

Tang Huan looked at it at a glance and threw it back to Wang Jing, "Go to Hu Yinmeng, she agreed to set up the project." ”

Wang Jing suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and said in his heart that this aunt and grandmother are not easy to deal with, and I thought you could approve it directly.

Hu Yinmeng raised his chin slightly, you obscene dead fat man, you still want to bypass my authority.

"Just see here, I have an important dinner." Tang Huancai didn't bother to pay attention to the checks and balances of the gang under his hands.

……

After Zhao Yazhi reported the results he got from Tang Huan to Fang Yihua in person, he found that the other party was not disappointed, and happily praised a few words, "Ah Zhi has a heart." So she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, I have been taken care of by the other party recently. Now I can return my favor, and my heart is more steady.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Zhao Yazhi got up to say goodbye, came out of the TVB main station building, and returned to her parents' house.

Her current life is like this, according to Tang Huan, if you don't have a script that suits your heart, don't force yourself. Instead of working hard to film, it is better to accept advertisements from a few large companies, so as not to spoil the enthusiasm for work.

The more Tang Huan respects and understands her sincerely, the more cautious Zhao Yazhi is in handling her acting affairs, which makes many people secretly talk about her now.

After entering his mother's house, seeing his son crawling around all over the floor with a new toy, Zhao Yazhi patted the little guy's buttocks dotingly, warned him, and then opened the wardrobe.

"What are you looking for?" Mother Zhao walked over and asked.

"A white dress." Zhao Yazhi replied casually, "I'm going to go to the banquet of Chow Tai Fook's boss with Ah Huan in a while." ”

Mother Zhao nodded. looked at the innocent grandson, and tentatively said what he had been thinking about for a long time. "Ah Zhi, Hongzi can go to kindergarten, I think it's okay to let him have our surname Zhao."

"Don't make any extraneous branches, there will be trouble over there." Zhao Yazhi immediately objected.

"Does he dare?" Mother Zhao sneered, "In the past, he relied on his own little power, so he planned to drag you to the ground, and from time to time he used a little means that could not see the light, but the result was not that the lawyer sent by Tang Huan was completely afraid of being prosecuted in a dignified manner." ”

"Why did you suddenly make such a show?" Zhao Yazhi was still very hesitant.

"I'm also doing this for the good of you and the child." Mother Zhao sighed earnestly, "I went to Causeway Bay to see the boutique clothing stores there, needless to say, the business is so good, since Tang Huan gave you the shares, it shows how much he loves you, so it's better to completely draw a line with the past, anyway, we don't have to count on child support over there." ”

"Ah Huan can't tell how much he cherishes me, so he won't care about my past." Zhao Yazhi was a little dissatisfied with his mother's affairs.

"Since he likes you so much, he should do it all the more." Zhao's mother was complained by her daughter, not only was she not angry, but she was also overjoyed, "You are so young now, only 26 years old, you will definitely have children with him, in order to get along with Hongzai's brothers and sisters in the future, you should naturally take advantage of the fact that the child has no memory now, and eliminate all the discomfort invisibly." ”

Zhao Yazhi blushed and didn't say anything, just took the skirt she found and gestured in front of the mirror.

Mother Zhao smiled heartily, understanding that her daughter had acquiesced, so she stopped talking about the topic, and instead asked curiously about the banquet she was going to attend.

The mother and daughter were chatting, and when they heard someone knocking on the door, Zhao's mother walked over to take a look, it turned out to be Tang Huan, and hurriedly welcomed him in.

As soon as Tang Huan entered the living room, he saw his cheap son running over calling his father, and he laughed, "Little guy, don't let your little hands and feet stain my clothes, and I will go to public for a walk." ”

Next, the atmosphere is naturally harmonious. In the midst of laughter, Zhao Yazhi changed his clothes, finished dressing up, kissed his son, and then went out of the house with Tang Huan and got into the car.

"What are you blushing and laughing at all of a sudden?" Tang Huan asked casually while flipping through the newspaper.

"Nothing." Zhao Yazhi shook her head, she just remembered in her heart that her mother said not long ago that she would give birth to a child for the man next to her, so she was naturally embarrassed to tell it.

The venue for the banquet was the New World Hotel, the first project of New World Centre, which opened in December 1978.

The office and serviced apartments in the West Wing, completed in 1979, are under preparation for the opening of the Regent Hotel in October this year.

The office and shopping malls in the East Wing are expected to be completed in 1982.

When Zheng Kar-chun saw Tang Huan, there was no need to mention that enthusiasm.

After returning from the Moscow Olympics, Chow Tai Fook's business jumped up with a dozen advertisements, and the Zheng father and son, who made a lot of money, naturally smiled.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zheng father and son quickly reciprocated the favor and spent a lot of money to invite Zhao Yazhi to shoot an advertisement, Tang Huan would not have wasted this time.

However, since he came, Tang Huan naturally wanted to do a sales pitch for his personal computer.

"Chow Tai Fook's business is either gold or diamonds, naturally, the management of data and information is particularly important, so you don't plan to follow the times and adopt computer technology?" Tang Huan joked with Zheng Jiachun.

In the late 1980s, Cheng Yu-Tung announced his retirement and was succeeded by his eldest son, Cheng Kar-Shun, as managing director of New World Development.

However, Cheng Kar-Shun's investment strategy was relatively aggressive, and since taking office, he has made a number of acquisitions, which has greatly increased New World's debt.

Cheng had no choice but to make a comeback in 1991 and sell off some of his business to reduce debt, such as reselling his stake in Asia Television to Lam Pak Yan.

Therefore, Zheng Jiachun is not so responsible, after listening to Tang Huan's description of the computer information management system, he was moved, "This business, my brother can call the shots, you let your subordinates send the computer tomorrow, so what management software is there." ”

It's okay, so far, the few rich second generations of Xiangjiang I have met are quite methodical in doing things, Tang Huan nodded secretly.

……

The next day, after Tang Huan arranged this new business, Hu Yinmeng came over and told him with a strange face, "Jin Yong replied that we can meet now, the sooner the better." ”

"This is not like Jin Daxia's calm demeanor." Tang Huan also felt strange.

But no matter what, it's true that it's better to meet sooner rather than later.

When Tang Huan came to Jin Yong's office with the game cartridge, as well as the TV and the Xiaobawang game console, he couldn't help but be stunned, he already had supporting equipment here, and the things he brought were superfluous.

"Mr. Cha, this is the first video game with a Chinese cultural background, "Dragon Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword", adapted and developed based on "Dragon Babu". Tang Huan couldn't easily just hand over the game cartridge.

Then the next scene almost knocked his jaw to the ground. (To be continued......)
