……

After a full six years, the strategic Hanoukville Port has changed hands again, which is naturally of great significance.

In particular, it is not known when the opposition forces in Funan will have the ability to broadcast radio throughout the territory.

At this juncture, Prince Hanouk, who had a strong appeal, issued a letter to all his compatriots, announcing that the time had come for a decisive battle for liberation, which immediately made the people in the area ruled by the puppet regime in Funan restless.

Annam understands that the Funan rebels intend to take Phnom Penh before the end of the dry season in April, and then to rest and consolidate their gains during the rainy season, when large-scale military operations are not possible. The increasingly active guerrilla attacks corroborate this suspicion.

To this end, Annan, who was taken by surprise, took the risk and sent planes to try to cut off Highway 4, which connects Hanoukville and Phnom Penh, only to be shot down by the guerrillas with shoulder-fired missiles.

As for the bombing of the port of Hanoukville, it was abandoned after only one attempt, where the fleet firepower was sharper; Phu Quoc Island, just 12 kilometers from the mainland of Funan, was also blocked, and the Vietnamese Navy was held back by the threat of submarines.

Obviously, the other side had made a careful plan in advance, and Annan was only concerned with how to clear the rebel forces at the Siamese border in Funan to the west, and as a result, they tore a hole in the southern coast.

……

Compared with the oil-rich hotspot in the Middle East, Funan, which is poor and weak, is obviously difficult to attract the real attention of the international community.

But this time it's different, how did that poor man suddenly conjure up such a luxurious war toy, destroyers, warplanes, missiles, submarines, armored forces...... Everything but the kitchen sink.

Looking at the many American dignitaries on TV, they calmly clarified that "this incident really has nothing to do with us." The observers are messy. "That armed force. It's clearly a typical American style, could it be said that which super-rich person is bored, stuns the US military with billions of dollars, buys such a lot of steel monsters, and runs to Funan to set off fireworks? ”

It has to be said that the most absurd speculation is often the closest to the truth.

Just when there was a lot of talk from all walks of life, the New York Post suddenly jumped out. "Do you want to know the truth, maybe I can break the news." ”

But in the urging of "speak quickly, speak quickly", the New York Post suddenly shrank back again, and the words flickered into tai chi.

The same scene happened to the "Sun" newspaper in the United Kingdom.

"Looks like there's a big secret here." The people who have been hung up on their appetites are getting more and more itchy, and they are more and more talking, all kinds of irresponsible conjectures, which have allowed the world publishing industry to flourish for a while.

At this time, Prince Hanouk issued a **** order. Call on all sectors of the community to unite and drive the invader Annam out of Funan.

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II, countries around the world are commemorating and reflecting on it. The small Funan suddenly became turbulent, and the exposure rate even exceeded that of the Iran-Iraq war.

……

After meeting Fang Yihua, Tang Huan met with Jin Yong again, and exchanged views on the future political mechanism of Xiangjiang in private.

Tang Huan also thanked Jin Yong for letting "Ming Pao" detain the photos of Lin Fengjiao's mother and son secretly taken by the paparazzi, after all, less disturbance is always worry-free, he still appreciates it very much.

"Cha Sheng, TVB has almost adapted your novel for a round, numbering it in order, it's time for DreamWorks." Tang Huan quipped.

Not counting the 1978 Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, and Zhao Yazhi's TV series "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", after entering 1980, TVB has successively filmed "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", Jin Yong's most brilliant martial arts novels, can be called all in one go, Tang Huan has this to mention.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, otherwise the audience will like the new and hate the old." Jin Yong smiled and waved his hand, "Anyway, Tang Sheng doesn't have to worry about the ratings of Media Asia TV, the TV series filmed by DreamWorks' adaptation of Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and Wen Rui'an's works is also wonderful; The recently filmed "Lu Xiaofeng's Phoenix Dance for Nine Days" has attracted a lot of attention. ”

Tang Huan shook his head with a smile and said his true thoughts, "Then there is always room for operation in the movie." ”

Jin Yong thought about it for a while, similar to TVB, the Shaw Brothers also almost filmed a round of his works in movies, fortunately, the interval is not short, but they can agree, after all, the two sides have a good effect in video game adaptation, and they must respect people's face.

Thinking of this, Jin Yong asked happily: "I don't know which work Tang Sheng has taken a fancy to the film adaptation rights?" ”

"It's good that Cha Sheng agrees." Tang Huan smiled with satisfaction, "I'm only responsible for making a front stop, and the specific plan will be discussed by DreamWorks with you in detail." ”

……

The success of the raid on Hanukville Harbor and the smooth development of the war afterwards made Tang Huan breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that his largest investment plan in history was carried out in an orderly manner, he was naturally in a good mood, so much so that before leaving Xiangjiang and going to the United States to attend Reagan's re-election ceremony, he had the interest to meet Cheng Long, who had been quietly contacted several times in private.

At this stage, the commercial-grade digital random retrieval karaoke system DKaraoke-1 is still a bit expensive, otherwise it can be like a home video recorder, directly launching a terminal product for the middle class.

Therefore, even if Stormwind City is close to the water, it will not be able to achieve the same box layout in the original time and space, which also makes customers who enjoy karaoke entertainment services often have two brushes in singing, otherwise it is difficult to let go.

Tang Huan stayed in the only top karaoke box in Stormwind City at this time, in addition to Cheng Long, who was sitting opposite, he was also accompanied by a young and invincible beautiful girl - Wang Zuxian.

The ecology of the entertainment industry has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, the typical love of the new and dislike of the old. Therefore, every year, DreamWorks discovers some fresh faces from treasure islands and other places.

However, there are not many people who can register here with Tang Huan, such as Lu Xiuling the year before last. Last year, it was Hu Huizhong. This year is this Wang Zuxian.

In fact. The Huagang Art School, Guoguang Art School and other institutions on the treasure island have become a "cash machine" like a place, and you can almost catch an accurate one by clicking on the map.

Let's take Wang Zuxian as an example, when she was in Guoguang Art School, she was included in the inspection list by DreamWorks; Before the opening of the Golden Horse Awards last year, I made the decision to come to Hong Kong for development at the age of 18. As for the study of Guoguang Art School, she simply gave up, and Xiao Nizi is not the material for reading. I had to seize the opportunity to seek another development.

Wang Zuxian is naturally not as good as Hu Huizhong, who is knowledgeable and interesting, but simplicity also has its advantages, that is, he can be taught according to his own blueprint, anyway, Tang Huan has not done this for the first time, and he is very skilled.

"Xiaoxian's long legs are amazing! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first **** in Asia. Tang Huan praised unabashedly while moving his hands unscrupulously. This is also the most attractive part of the other party, otherwise why make the reborn unforgettable, the richest man here will never lack a spare tire.

"As long as Mr. Tang is willing, it is easy to make Miss Wang the owner of the world's first ****." Cheng Long secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He grinned and joked.

Wang Zuxian was squeezed by some explicit jokes by the men, and her face turned red, but she was also very happy in her heart. To be favored by such a big character, just the simplest vanity of a little girl has been supremely satisfied.

"Xiaoxian's qualifications are still shallow, and he needs to calm down and accumulate some experience." Tang Huan laughed, withdrew his hand, and took a sip of the crystal cup.

What he said is true, so far, Wang Zuxian, who has emerged since filming advertisements, has participated in a treasure island movie "This year's lakeside will be very cold", and it will inevitably go through a stage of making vases, depending on the length of time.

"If I have a suitable role at hand, I will definitely recommend it to Miss Wang." Cheng Long hurriedly sent favors through the seams.

Wang Zuxian said obediently, "Thank you, Brother Long", Tang Huan also nodded, and asked instead: "You came to me at the risk of being suspicious of Boss Zou, did you encounter any tricky difficulties?" ”

"I don't have so many worries, whether it's Boss Zou or Boss Lei of Princess Jin, I have to stand on Tang Sheng's side in the end." Cheng Long complimented.

I have to say that society is a real university hall. Cheng Long, who has been wandering around in the past few years, has opened his eyes and grown a lot, and has his own judgment on the future trend of the Xiangjiang film industry.

In fact, after nearly a year of the Xiangjiang Cinema War, DreamWorks Cinemas has clearly gained the upper hand, with its flexible business methods, including multi-hall screenings, supplemented by accurate data analysis and management relying on computers, to give full play to the advantages of the already leading hardware and software.

In contrast, the set of Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas is inevitably outdated. As a result, in the past period, its highest-grossing movies have not exceeded 20 million at the local box office.

Don't think it's good to be able to sell more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, now the standard for Hong Kong films to sell has long been pushed up to 20 million by DreamWorks.

Of course, Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas can break through the box office benchmark of 20 million by extending the release time of the film outside the convention, but that belongs to the audience who drinks to quench their thirst and likes the new and hates the old, will only favor DreamWorks Cinemas more.

Cheng Long's way of observing the situation is not so complicated, he only recognizes one point, no matter how profitable he is to make movies, he can't compare to those real estate developers, Qinhe, a big owner, can take care of DreamWorks Cinemas in terms of rent, and he can drag down other theaters.

"Aaron, you're getting better at talking." Tang Huan laughed loudly, "We have known each other for a long time, and I also appreciate you, if there is something, I will talk openly and honestly, I believe there are not many problems that can stump me." ”

"Then I'll say it." Cheng Long scratched his head.

The impact of the theater dispute on individual film practitioners is not negative, after all, all parties must try their best to win people's hearts for the sake of film sources. From this point of view, everyone is basically standing on the same starting line.

However, compared with Mai Jia, Hong Jinbao, and Cen Jianxun, who are more and more ugly men who are becoming more and more active in the Xiangjiang film industry, Cheng Long's situation is more special.

First of all, he cooperated with Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao and other brothers, although the box office of movies is often good, but it cannot really highlight his personal style, hindering the rise of his career.

Secondly, Cheng Long encountered some unhappiness, including the inevitable bumps and bumps due to different ideas in the process of cooperating with his senior brothers, as well as the troubles left by jumping to Golden Harvest at the beginning, and most importantly - the continuous failure to enter Hollywood.

After Cheng Long and Chen Ziqiang jumped ship from Luo Wei Film Company to Golden Harvest, Luo Wei used some unacceptable means to retaliate, and the final settlement result was the movie "Dragon and Tiger Leap" starring Cheng Long released in 1983, which was a world of difference compared with the previous work "Laughing Fist Strange Moves", and the box office did not even have 2 million, which made Cheng Long disgusting.

In addition, as the remaining part of the previous plan to enter Hollywood, Cheng Long participated in "The Protector" - "Weilong Detective" in the United States, and the result was full of conflicts with director James Gilrichenhes.

Cheng Long's first film in Hollywood, "Killer Trench", although it did not reach the box office success of Bruce Lee's movies in the United States, which disappointed the partners, but it also received more than 8.5 million US dollars in 1980, and 5 million Hong Kong dollars on the Hong Kong side.

As for "Cannonball Speed 1" and "Cannonball Speed 2", Cheng Long is purely playing soy sauce in it, so don't mention it.

But these three works have one thing in common, and that is that they are extremely poorly evaluated.

For this reason, Cheng Long must reflect to find out the reason, at least he can't let the boss simply attribute the blame to himself, which completely ruined his reputation.

But the filming process of "Weilong Detective" this time made Jackie Chan discover that the actual situation is not the worst, only worse.

In order to avoid another tragedy, Cheng Long went to Jiahe after negotiating with director James Gilrichenhes to no avail, but Zou Wenhuai did not recruit, the contract terms are very strict, even if it is a mistake, it must be implemented.

Cheng Long was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, and at the same time he was very disappointed. He felt that if there was a backer who could speak effectively in Hollywood, he would never be so angry and ineffective, so he could only endure it with his breath.

There is no doubt that the backer that Cheng Long wants is Tang Huan.

"Tang Sheng, can you talk to Warner?" Cheng Long pleaded: "For "Weilong Detective", I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that I can master its Chinese version, lest the box office be too low, and I can't continue to lose face on the Xiangjiang side." ”

Cheng Long looked at Tang Huan eagerly, he had heard that the other party once beat Warner to the in the video game console business, and later cleaned it up in the stock market, and finally relinquished control of Warner Records. This matter should be a good idea.
