After the news that Mr. The richest man was confirmed to attend the 67th Academy Awards, the media was most happy.

Gain, after Tang Huan switched from the main talent of "Tang IT" to the second talent of "Tang Tycoon", he often inadvertently confided some extremely valuable authoritative news under inertia.

After successfully chasing and intercepting Tang Tycoon this time, the reporters did not ask those flowery questions, but focused on the uproar of the movie "Forrest Gump" loss incident, and asked directly and sharply: "Tang, "Forrest Gump" has received $330 million at the box office in North America alone, becoming the fourth highest-grossing movie after "E.T. Alien", "Star Wars: Dawn" and "Jurassic Park"; But MGM claimed that the company lost $62 million on Forrest Gump, a 'successful failure'. If this is true, then, don't you, what do you think of MGM's management's ability to operate? ”

As soon as he heard this, Harvey Weinstein, the CEO of MGM, who was one step behind the boss and followed the boss, suddenly lost his fat face and smiled.

"My trust in the MGM team remains as good as ever." Mr. The richest man smiled indifferently and said slowly: "Judging from the report, although the North American box office of "Forrest Gump" has 330 Million, becoming the fourth highest-grossing movie, its shooting budget is 55 Million; After the movie samples came out, the marketing budget was increased by 2 times compared to the original plan; Coupled with other cost-increasing factors, the project "Forrest Gump" has become a 'success failure', a fact that has no choice but to accept. ”

"Fortunately, this 'success and failure' is not completely depressing."

"With the help of state-of-the-art computer special effects, Forrest Gump and many historical figures, including the late former president of the United States, were able to make very interesting connections and interactions on the screen, which was refreshing."

"And Forrest Gump's never-give-up fighting spirit is especially fond of me - there are many kinds of success in life, and the factors depend not only on being smart, but also on simple perseverance......"

Now the interpretation of the movie "Forrest Gump" has long been rotten on the street, and the reporters are obviously not interested in listening to Tang Tycoon's nagging personal experience, and after he stopped talking, he immediately asked: "Some people think that the loss of "Forrest Gump" is the most typical Hollywood accounting scandal in recent times, which has damaged the interests of many people. For example, Winston Groom, the author of the novel "Forrest Gump", failed to get 3% of the net profit of the film in the agreement because MGM claimed that the movie "Forrest Gump" was losing money. Don, do you know the inside story of your subordinates' operations? ”

"People often subconsciously hope that reality can be as exciting as the ups and downs of the movie." Mr. The richest man replied calmly as usual: "I think it is necessary to repeat again that I have always been suspicious of my subordinates' suspicions. The latest report I received was that so far, all the people involved in the project for the movie Forrest Gump have been satisfied with their pay. ”

For example, director Robert Zemeckis and star Tom Hanks were paid 40 million each, using all the revenue from the contracted film as a reference. As for Winston Groom, the author of the novel "Forrest Gump" that you are most concerned about, he has accepted MGM's explanation of the accounting report for the loss of the movie "Forrest Gump". In addition to the $350,000 compensation for the script of the novel adaptation, he received another $250,000 in compensation......"

Listening to the boss's smooth answer, Harvey Weinstein coughed anxiously, reminding his boss - how did you forget, this is Hollywood, not Silicon Valley, there is no need to tell accurate data in order to enhance persuasion, so that the media can take the opportunity to compare and hype.

Suddenly Tang Tycoon laughed at himself and quickly stopped the topic, "All in all, Winston Glum is satisfied with his remuneration, and has finalized a seven-figure reward with MGM for another novel. ”

It can be seen that the movie "Forrest Gump" is a 'success failure'. The reason for this should be related to the rapidly changing industry ecology after entering the 1990s. MGM management has submitted a review report to me, expressing serious reflection and improvement of the work process going forward. ”

……

The so-called unspoken rules of Hollywood were responded to by Tang Tycoon so lightly, which can be regarded as stopping at him.

In the final analysis, MGM in the accounting of "Forrest Gump", even if he really did something, when it came to Mr. the richest man, it was at best just an ordinary data on the report, and other projects in Million, no different, don't expect him to take it out and look at it differently - even if there is a leak, it is also a subordinate to fight lightning.

After sending the reporters away, Tang Huan stopped by to meet the team of the Russian film "Poison Sun", which was competing for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

The $3.6 million film, sponsored by Neligin on behalf of Tang Huan and directed by Nikita Mikhalkov, won the second place at the Cannes Film Festival last year with Lao Mouzi's "Alive", the second prize after the Palme d'Or, the Grand Jury Prize.

Compared with the movie "Alive" was not released in Chinese mainland, although the release of "Poison Sun" in Russia had twists and turns, it was smooth in the end, and the audience's response was good, so I came to Hollywood again to see if it could be further gilded.

Nikita Mikhalkov was particularly valued by the richest man, and naturally his ability and background in an artistic family were closely related.

His father, Sergei Mikhalkov, was born into the prominent Mikhalkov family in Russia, and was a Soviet and Russian writer, fabler, children's book author, poet, award-winning writer, and lyricist of the Soviet national anthem.

The following is the anti-D part.,Update it tomorrow.,Just ignore it.。

……

At this year's Zheru Developer Spring Conference, the technologies discussed were as comprehensive and authoritative as ever. The DVD specification, for example, is ripe.

However, even more sensational was the announcement of Zheru Software - following the open source of FreeDOS, other software will join the bandwagon. Among them is also the popular cash cow on the product line - Zheru Office Suite.

This move sparked further controversy and division in the hacker community, and even confrontation.

Opponents continue to insist that Zheru Software, the world's No. 1 commercial software provider, has reached out with malicious intentions and polluted the pure atmosphere of the free~free software community.

There are also people who shout - no need to ask, similar to FreeDOS open source, the next program source code released by Zheru Software Company must be those old versions of software that can no longer squeeze commercial profits. If you are really sincere, you can take out the latest version of the product and share it. For example, the operating system StudiOS kernel, TCP/IP protocol algorithms, MPEG encoder decoder, ......

As for the supporters, although there are some, most of them are suppressed by the boiling scolding.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as Eric Raymond, who edited the New Hacker Dictionary in 1990, who showed his oratorical talents, attracted the attention of the mainstream media, and even overshadowed Richard Stallman, the founder of the self~ software movement.

In terms of origins, Eric Raymond was a follower of Richard Stallman at first, but now, he has bluntly criticized Richard Stallman and the idealism of the Free~You Software Foundation, and advocated that it should take a more pragmatic and more market-oriented route, which has set off a lot of political ~ political confrontation in the hacker community.

It is clear that Eric Raymond has developed his own theoretical system, which is why he disagreed with Richard Stallman and then parted ways.

There is also the activist group, which began to prepare for the development of an open source and free operating system that can be applied to the widest range of hardware platforms based on the FreeDOS_2.X source code. This is a welcome positive trend.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the hacker community is full of factions and fights.

Tang Huan, who had foreseen it, was not surprised, but according to the feedback from the public relations department, he held a media briefing to give an official attitude on recent hot issues.

It is conceivable that Zheru Software Company has borne the brunt of the continuous actions in open source during this period.

Tang Huan, who is also the CEO of Zheru Software Company, turned on the microphone and said eloquently: "For a long time, there has been a very strong voice accusing Zheru Software of its actions as an intrusion with malicious intentions. I think this is unfair and even too extreme. ”

"The commercial success of Zheru Software cannot be the reason or motivation for all kinds of malicious speculation about it. And it is precisely because of this kind of business achievement that Zheru Software Company hopes that the entire industry can develop better -- everyone understands the truth that the skin does not exist and the hair will be attached. ”

"Zheru Software has been paying attention to the software open-source movement for a long time, so after careful evaluation and affirmation of its positive significance to the entire industry, it has made some tentative moves."

"Here, I don't want to flaunt anything, I just want to emphasize that it's better to do than not to do well."

"I also make no secret of the fact that Zheru Software Company will not and dare not open source the latest version of software products. However, Zheru Software is trying to share the source code with collaborators. However, the main motivation for this is the commercial interests of software engineering, which is clearly different from the naïve concept of the software open source movement. ”

"Judging from the current results, Zheru Software's open source initiatives have played a positive role, at least in education. We are deeply gratified by this and have a clear conscience. ”

"I personally believe that at this stage, the advocates and leaders of the open source community should focus more on how to improve the license agreement, so that no one can use the free public resources of the open source community to get a mature and stable code base, and suddenly change course and turn into a closed-source commercial product."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders, "I think, this is what people with ill intentions should really worry about." ”

In the midst of the laughter in the audience, the curiosity about Zheru Software's participation in the open source movement suddenly dissipated - what mystery is there in the window paper that has been poked through such a big hole.

Next, a financial reporter asked about the listing process of Zheru Software Company.

"According to the schedule, Zheru Software will go public next year. I don't have more details to disclose here, if you are interested, you can pay attention to the company's follow-up public information. After Tang Huan answered clearly, he added: "Zheru Software Company is preparing to move to have a headquarters that is completely its own. ”

As soon as he heard this, someone immediately connected it with the widely spread April Fool's joke of AOL moving, so he quickly asked about the difference between the two.

Tang Huan replied in a natural tone: "Zheru Software Company will operate as a new public company, and it should be a wise decision to move away from Cupertino and get rid of the influence of the old management mechanism in order to achieve maximum independence~." ”

The reporter asked relentlessly: "Then what are the considerations for AOL to move to Rockefeller Center?" Rumor has it that you're going to buy Rockefeller Center, really? ”

"AOL's decision is naturally based on the need to grow the business. The acquisition of Rockefeller Center was a challenging task. This time, Mr. The richest man's answer was not so painful. The unpleasant performance of the dragonfly dotting the water and the cloud and mountain fog cover made the reporter's heart itch.

Tang Huan immediately coughed lightly and said: "I am meeting with you this time in order to talk about the problem of Zheru Software Company, and when I ask media friends to ask questions, don't deviate from this center." ”

"I can tell you about some of the latest developments in the products of Zheru Software. For example, there will be a batch of 'i' products coming out one after another. ”

"And what does the 'i' mean?" The reporter, who was reluctant to waste the opportunity to ask questions, asked listlessly.

The richest man replied with a high spirit, "One of the meanings of 'i' is 'internet'. For example, the upcoming Zheru office software suite, with the commercial name of Zerone_Office_i, and according to the positioning of the enterprise version, professional version, and personal version, there are i7, i5, and i3 differences. The purpose is to embody a new generation of software products, centered on Internet applications. ”
