Chapter 0329 - The Ubiquitous Fangyuan Computer
"I do have this plan, but if I can't get rid of the reporter's scrutiny, won't it be equivalent to exposing the last place of refuge?" Judy? Foster shook his head, "You usually move, and you have a small team by your side, maybe you can help me cover up." ”
is worthy of being a high-IQ Hollywood female star, who was bombarded by the media so wildly, she did not mess up, maintained basic calm, and knew how to find help.
"No problem. I'm going to the United States for Charles' wedding, so I can take you with me. Tang Huan nodded happily in agreement.
"I'm a plague god that everyone shouts at me now, and many acquaintances are avoiding me, only your attitude is the same as always." Judy? There was a vicissitudes in Foster's tone.
"There's no need to think of the world so gloomy, it's still the way you used to know, it's just that it's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and I just have the capital not to care about this kind of trouble." Tang Huan shrugged, "By the way, since the accident, your ad has been taken down." In business, I also have to respect the decisions of my subordinates. ”
"It doesn't matter, that's how basically all businesses react. I'm more famous now than I used to be, but I don't have any positive business value anymore. "Judy? Foster smiled self-deprecatingly, and went to the window to look outside, "The reporters who followed were still outside." ”
Tang Huan got up and walked over to take a few looks, then pulled Judy? Foster took a few steps back, avoiding the area, and quipped, "My office isn't a tall building, and these guys have poisonous eyes, and they can spot you with the naked eye alone." ”
Judy? Foster nodded approvingly. "I'm in trouble for you. Now what? ”
"It's nothing. I just asked the security assistant to lead someone to persuade them to leave. Tang Huan casually picked up the phone and ordered.
"Don, thank you for your helping hand, but I don't have anything of value in return for you right now." Judy? In Foster's gaze, the meaning was very complicated.
Tang Huan didn't say anything sensational, such as "To be a friend, you should stick a knife in both sides", but replied lightly, "I believe that this difficult stage in front of you will not affect you to win the Oscar in the future, as long as you are beautiful." It is enough to still remember this friendship. ”
"Even if a billionaire like you is so optimistic about my future, I will survive this difficult time." Judy? Foster laughed with relief.
……
This summer, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry has provided rich entertainment content for young people, such as DreamWorks, which has almost achieved all-round coverage.
Chen Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung, and Paul Zhong, who have gradually had the title of "Three Musketeers", followed last year's movie "Applause", and this year they co-starred in the inspirational youth film "Unemployed Students".
Consider the affordability of teens as an audience. DreamWorks deliberately reached an agreement with the cinema chain, against the background of the average ticket price of 10.5 Hong Kong dollars. At this level, it was lowered a little bit in order to attract more moviegoers.
Even with such concessions, "Unemployed Students" still won a box office of HK$5 million in Hong Kong.
This level is incomparable with the more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars earned by "Modern Bodyguard" at the beginning of the year, and it is also insignificant for the total annual box office of Hong Kong local films in 1981 in the original time and space of 240 million Hong Kong dollars.
But the position of the DreamWorks brand in the youth group is becoming more and more stable, not to mention that in a few years, they will form a new consumer power in society.
Last year's "Bravo" made newcomer Weng Jingjing popular, and this year's "Unemployed Student" made Xu Jie famous in one fell swoop.
In "Bravo", Chen Baiqiang and Weng Jingjing, who play the male and female protagonists, have a glimpse of the chance encounter in the library, which is extremely impressive, "Unemployed Student" changed this bridge to the subway, Chen Baiqiang and Xu Jie, who play the male and female protagonists, are still old-fashioned love at first sight, but the audience still buys it, and even affects the order of the Xiangjiang Metro in reality.
In fact, this Xu Jie has a lot of background, her sister is the two-time Golden Horse Award actress Xu Feng, who has now joined the Tang family.
Due to the relationship between her ex-husband, for a period of time, Xu Feng, who was alone in debt, had a very difficult life, and even her sister and younger brother couldn't take care of it, so she sought a job for Xu Jie at Golden Harvest and signed an actor contract, and he participated in the 1980 Xiangjiang film New Wave masterpiece "Famous Sword" directed by Tan Jiaming.
It is said that Xu Feng also introduced his sister to Cheng Long. It's just that Xu Jie wore red clothes on the day of the blind date, and the so-called bloody disaster is taboo in the martial arts industry, Cheng Long only glanced at it from afar, and he didn't even see his appearance clearly, so he retreated and slipped away, and the matter was over.
Due to Hu Yinmeng's relationship, DreamWorks has become the preferred target of treasure island artists in Xiangjiang.
Xu Feng knew the chaos in the entertainment industry, so he wanted his sister to be transferred to Hu Yinmeng's hand, so that she could take care of it.
After all, Xu Jie is a newcomer with no qualifications and very little qualifications, so DreamWorks easily got an artist contract from Golden Harvest, and made her the heroine of "Unemployed Student" at the right time.
With the support of DreamWorks, "Unemployed Student" was naturally filmed more exquisitely, plus the cameos of Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingbian and others, as well as the song "Remembering Relatives" sung by Chen Baiqiang, the movie itself does have the foundation of great popularity.
DreamWorks is running the film's distribution in other regions, and it's entirely predictable that the artists will continue to expand their fame as a result.
With the foreshadowing of the movie, the video game "The Peerless Twins" released by DreamWorks also sold well.
This game collapsed in the middle of research and development due to technical reasons, but the development team of shame and courage, after summing up the lessons learned, not only completed the original task, but also launched a version of the hardware platform of Fangyuan computer in addition to the Xiaobawang game console.
It can be said that DreamWorks has slowly cultivated a group of audiences for Chinese-language cultural video games through its own brand effect.
This achievement was won in the computer knowledge quiz competition sponsored by Zheru Xiangjiang Company. It is also reflected. After all, compared to cramming indoctrination. Games can also promote the general public's active exposure to high-tech products such as computers, which have an obscure concept.
This computer knowledge quiz competition, led by well-known artists, is carried out by a team of middle school students through confrontation and elimination with each other, and in the form of a variety show, the audience is invited to record the program and broadcast it on Media Asia TV and TVB.
In fact, regardless of the prize money, the artists can be able to participate in this grand event sponsored by Zheru Xiangjiang Company in order to promote Fangyuan Computer. Accumulate valuable popularity.
However, some people don't realize this, and after discovering the mystery, their own team is not already out, and the fate of being eliminated is basically determined.
In the end, the teams of Cheung Tak Lan and Alan Tam made it to the finals, the former representing TVB and the latter representing Media Asia TV, and in the form of an extremely rare simulcast of two TV stations, it attracted thousands of families in Hong Kong to watch.
Because the winning students of this "Tan Zhang Competition", in addition to the prize money, there is also college tuition. Even the opportunity to study abroad is available.
Although Xiangjiang is economically prosperous, it is also an indisputable fact that there is a large gap between the rich and the poor. The vast number of people at the bottom who hope to get a promotion to their social status through education are naturally concerned about which lucky ones will fall on such a pie-in-the-sky opportunity.
Alan Tam has always been very serious from beginning to end in this event, and is deeply loved by his team and the students of related schools, and even won the title of "Principal Tan", but he still did not resist Zhang Delan, who is quite talented in computers, and unfortunately failed.
However, Alan Tam also got the reward he deserved, and with this popularity, his third Cantonese album "Can't Forget You" was released later, which sold four platinums, thus establishing his status in the Hong Kong music scene.
For the result of this competition, the TVB side is overjoyed, and the recent performance of Media Asia TV is not very peaceful, which makes me faintly worried, but the other party did not achieve the final victory in this event organized by his boss, which is too ironic.
In order to crack down on Media Asia TV, TVB wrote a lot about this victory.
Huang Xizhao, who held the old thoughts, was a little uneasy in his heart, as TVB said, Media Asia TV lost face a little this time.
However, Zhou Liang Shuyi analyzed with a smile, "This kind of short-term dispute is nothing. The reason why Mr. Tang sponsored this event, the core purpose is to let more ordinary people know about Fangyuan computer, now it seems that the effect is good, the task we cooperate with has been completed, and naturally we can give Mr. Tang an account. ”
Huang Xizhao pondered, this is really the truth, so Media Asia TV did not accept TVB's move, stuffy his head, and do whatever he should do.
TVB quickly put an end to its flaunting, because it found that this was simply a free advertisement for Fangyuan Computer.
And it didn't take long for DreamWorks to announce that in view of the good response from the audience of this knowledge quiz, DreamWorks will expand from this to produce a large-scale puzzle program called "Genius Chong Chong", and its rewards will be based on the event that has just ended.
No matter what the outside world comments, DreamWorks is cheering about this, and its own company has begun to get involved in variety shows, and those artists who are not famous enough obviously have another job choice.
Seeing that TVB came back to his senses and stopped bragging, Hu Yinmeng couldn't help but feel a little regretful, the opponent is still very smart.
After making a phone call and hearing that his father was recuperating well at the Treasure Hospital in San Francisco, Hu Yinmeng's state of mind became more and more relaxed.
Seeing that it was time to get off work, she called Weng Jingjing and took the company's special car back to the apartment together.
Tang Huan is not here, his woman, as a matter of course, has to help with the training.
Two women, one older and one younger, are coping with dinner while watching TV, of course, Media Asia TV, which is broadcasting the 20-episode boutique drama "Sweet Twenty Four Flavors" produced by DreamWorks, starring Leslie Cheung, Ni Shibei, Paul Chung, Wen Xueer, and Weng Jingjing, who once again replaced Kwan Zhilin.
This TV series tells the story of three young people who have just stepped out of school, who failed the entrance examination and failed to go to school, and went to an advertising company to start as a low-level employee.
As a fashion film, "Sweet Twenty Four Flavors" resonated with some young people, so the response was quite good.
For this TV series, DreamWorks also used aerial photography, including typical 1980s Hong Kong cityscapes as exterior locations, including Star Ferry Pier, Queen's Pier, City Hall, Bu Kung Pier, Jardine House, Victoria Harbour, Kowloon Tong, North Point Ferry Pier, Lai Yuen, Kai Tak Airport, Kai Tak Playground and many other places.
This seems to have aroused the sense of superiority of the Xiangjiang people, and in addition to the young audience, other age groups also praised "Sweet Twenty Four Flavors", so as the plot progressed, the ratings increased steadily.
Hu Yinmeng patted Weng Jingjing, who was watching with relish, and said angrily: "You are a supporting role here, why are you so fascinated by it?" ”
"I'm working on it. Leslie Cheung's acting skills have improved a lot, he is only a supporting role in the movie "Unemployed Student", but he performed very well, almost stealing the limelight from Chen Baiqiang. After playing the leading role in "Sweet Twenty-Four Flavors", Leslie Cheung's performance became more and more prominent, and he was not deeply touched by the crew at that time, but he didn't expect the actual effect of the TV series to be so good. Weng Jingjing replied seriously.
"What else did you find?" Hu Yinmeng nodded approvingly.
"What's more, Fangyuan Computer's advertisements are simply pervasive, and the advertising company in the TV series uses all Fangyuan computers." Weng Jingjing smiled and puffed up her chest, "I estimate that in the future, the boss will definitely prefer fashion films, because you can carry private goods and do soft advertisements for various technological products." ”
"I feel the same." Hu Yinmeng nodded thoughtfully, "Fangyuan computer is simply the ubiquitous phantom of technology, even the royal wedding in the UK is not immune, and you can understand the extent of the report sent back by Zeng Zhiwei's interview team later." ”
"This little fat man's eyes are always squinting, and this time he can get the opportunity to travel to the UK, it's too cheap for him." Weng Jingjing snorted.
"Don't be dissatisfied, this candidate was personally determined by the boss." Hu Yinmeng quipped: "The boss said that going to the UK to cover the royal family's wedding celebration is not to sing praises to the British, but to let everyone understand how people are entertained, so the host must impress the audience." ”
As he was talking, Media Asia TV began to broadcast the report sent back by Zeng Zhiwei, who was far away in the UK.
"Do you see the card in my hand? Bank card? Wrong. (To be continued......)
