"In addition, in order to maximize the box office revenue of "Superman 2" released by Warner, after its premiere in Australia on December 4 last year, it moved to Europe and then to the United States, and it is about to be fully released.

Andy, who is outspoken? Albert looked at Tang Huan sincerely, he believed that the other party was an extremely smart person, and he would not be in a hurry to achieve quick results because of the grudge with Warner, and he couldn't judge the current situation.

Sure enough, Tang Huan didn't do it because of Andy? Albert just shrugged his shoulders when he raised the prestige of others and extinguished his own spirit, "I understand, after all, the audience always likes the new and hates the old, and "ForYourEyesOnly" is already the twelfth part of "007". ”

"In my experience, ForYourEyesOnly, while it may have performed well in the U.S., has surpassed the $100 million mark at the global box office, meeting the criteria for a veritable blockbuster. It's quite certain. ”

Andy? Albert can be said to have a wealth of experience in the workplace, and after getting vaccinated and pointing out the overall situation in the summer market, he began to list his advantages.

He knows what his young boss is facing, and after entering Hollywood, many people are watching from the sidelines, waiting to see his jokes, and this summer file is a sign of success or failure.

Previously, Tang Huan named the small-budget movie "Four Seasons", which not only hit Universal Pictures, but also made Lianmei raise his eyebrows, calculated that he had won the first battle, made a good start, and reduced a lot of pressure.

But this is the boss's vision after all. The credit of others is limited. And Luen Mei's long-term cash cow "007". is the touchstone to show the ability of his subordinates.

Tang Huan bowed slightly, motioning for the other party to continue.

"James? Bond has become an icon in the United Kingdom, and naturally the box office of "007" there plays an important role in the goal of exceeding 100 million, so the world premiere is scheduled in London. ”

Speaking of which, Andy? Albert sneered, "Boss, you don't have a lot to do with that Prince Charles of England. If you can pull some of these celebrities and make an appearance at the premiere, it will definitely be very helpful for the attention of the movie. ”

"That makes sense." Tang Huan nodded, muttering to himself in his heart, Charles has not taken any benefits from himself, and it is time to come out and report back.

"I'll contact the UK right away." Tang Huan immediately made a decision.

Seeing that this well-traveled boss is willing to come to the rescue, Andy? Albert breathed a sigh of relief that the trip had not been in vain.

"MGM has made initial adjustments and is ready to reopen, and I have to reiterate some arrangements. so that you may know in your hearts, so that you may not be suspicious of one another, and you may not be caught in a dilemma. Tang Huan quickly changed his words.

Andy? Albert immediately realized that what Tang Huan was about to say was closely related to his position and power. I couldn't help but get nervous, and when I heard that "I don't have any plans to merge MGM and Luen Mei, the two companies have their own characteristics, and now they are operating independently, it should be good", and the hanging heart fell.

"If there is cooperation, you can solve it yourself, but if there is a mutual dismantling, I will have to ask."

Feeling Tang Huan's gaze sharpen, Andy? Albert hurriedly smiled and assured, "In the past, Luen Mei and MGM have cooperated from time to time, as long as this mechanism is perfected, the relationship between the two sides will definitely be more harmonious." ”

Tang Huan bowed slightly, and his gaze softened, "My expectations for Lianmei and MGM are different. United States since four film celebrities Charlie? Chaplin, David? Griffith, and Mary? Since the establishment of the partnership, Baker and Van Punk have been very different from other companies, Hollywood, by funding independent producers to shoot films, which not only avoids the profit sharing of large film companies, but also allows the actors to get more income, while also ensuring the artistry of the work. ”

See Andy? Albert was so confused by himself that Tang Huan smiled slightly, "I hope that Luen Mei will continue to carry forward the artistry of the works and the affinity of filmmakers." ”

Andy? Albert's lips moved, and his heart said that you are a boss and a capitalist, and you don't squeeze the filmmakers below. If you don't chase commercial films, there is profit at all, but he can't say it.

"When I took over from Pan Am, I got a total of 98 percent of the shares. After a while, when Luen Mei performs better, is more valuable, and has more appeal, I will take out some shares to share with you. "Can Tang Huan guess Andy? Albert muttered again, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and continued to talk about his plans.

In fact, Luen Mei is still too small, last year was just a movie "Heaven's Gate" failed, and as a result, a loss of $40 million forced it into a desperate situation of bankruptcy, making Tang Huan a savior, which shows its scale and strength.

In the year 2006 in the original plane, Tom? Cruise and his partner invested in Luen Mei and became its new owner.

This ending has to be said to be the fate of Lianmei, or it can be attributed to the indissoluble bond between it and successful Hollywood actors.

After Tang Huan initially won the United States, he was still thinking about how to develop and expand it, but after Prince Sabah stuffed MGM into his hands, he had to change his original intention.

Resources are limited, and it is impossible for both companies to expand indefinitely, and they can only make a fuss about their characteristics.

As long as Lianmei manages the network of Hollywood practitioners well, and can show its face at the Oscars every year. It can be regarded as achieving the purpose of its original acquisition.

As for the fully commercial operation, let MGM take care of it.

This is the respective positioning of the two Hollywood companies in Tang Huan's hands, one focuses on making a name for himself, and the other focuses on making profits, and neither is delayed. But whether Hollywood will let Tang Huan get his wish depends on his means.

Waiting for Andy? After Albert fully understood Tang Huan's train of thought, he suddenly had a feeling that he was clearly the boss's henchman.

And MGM President David? Bigelman thinks he's getting a lot out of it, Andy? Albert, the president of Luen Mei, also felt that this trip. The benefits are not shallow.

All in all. The two have goals that do not conflict with each other. Naturally, I have no worries and am full of motivation to work.

With the vigorous development of microcomputers, various related professional magazines, newspapers and other media have also sprung up.

But in the field of personal computers, Byte magazine, founded in 1975, has almost accompanied the growth of personal computers to the present, and this qualification, coupled with professional ability, has made its authority unbreakable.

Now Tang Huan has a copy of Byte magazine in his hand. The previous article about the software development tools in the field of personal computers at this stage made him read it with relish.

According to the statistics of "Byte", the development tools used by commercial companies are still mainly assembly language, supplemented by high-level languages such as C, PASCAL, and BASIC.

ZeroneMacroAssemble, or ZeroneMacroAssemble, accounts for more than 50% of assembly language development tools. ZeroneCrossPlatformC, also known as Zheru CPC, accounts for nearly 80% of the C language development tool share.

If you take into account the use of unauthorized copies, it is believed that this ratio will be even higher.

In addition, among college students, the scope of exposure and use of MA and CPC is even larger, and even many universities directly adopt both in their teaching tools.

It's hard to imagine. Zheru is such a commercial company that has done so much work for the industrial foundation of personal computers.

The editors of Byte were amazed. Speaking of Zheru's latest C++ development tool, ZeroneC++Buider, that is, Zheru C++Buider, will be officially unveiled at COMDEX.

However, some users who have been subscribing to Zheru's service for a long time have been the first to get a copy of Zheru's C++Buider floppy disk.

According to various sources, the biggest difference between C++Buider and structured programming languages like C is that it supports object-oriented concepts, while Zheru's C++Buider development kit gives away the menu technology that is used in all of its commercial software.

If the developer's project is large, or there is a need for graphical interface operation, Zheru C++Buider should be a good choice.

After putting down the article, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh, he had been staring at office software all along, but he didn't expect the influence of development tools, a professional application field, to be so powerful unconsciously.

However, in Tang Huan's eyes, the professional level of "Byte" magazine is limited, and the understanding of the C++ language is a bit one-sided, but this kind of new thing, it is very good to be able to accept it first, and with this attitude, the level will naturally improve slowly.

This time, from San Francisco to New York, Silicon Valley One pulled a lot of peers, mainly Japanese exhibitors.

In order to deal with this group of guys who were eyeing the second-generation Fangyuan computer compatible machine license, Tang Huan was not less sad, and after arriving at the hotel, he simply used the excuse of rest to hide.

Tang Huan was cross-legged and sipping tea, when the assistant knocked on the door and sent the latest faxed documents.

casually flipped through it, Tang Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said to himself with envy: "Warner has made a lot of money this time, and the weekend box office of "Superman 2" is so against the sky. ”

It turned out that "Superman 2" exceeded $14 million at the weekend box office on June 21, unceremoniously stepping on the $12 million reached by the previous "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Four Seasons".

Industry insiders concluded that this level is basically the highest weekend box office in 1981, and "Superman 2" will not be much of a problem if it grosses more than 100 million in the United States and ranks among the top ten highest-grossing movies in the United States in 1981.

Next week, I'm going to watch the performance of Lianmei's latest "007" - "ForYourEyesOnly", and I really went to London to cheer for it.

……

On June 23rd, the three-day COMDEX New York Spring Show opened.

Due to the success of the commercial operation, the exhibitors and visitors of COMDEX have grown rapidly, and the scene is very lively, and the industry forum held by COMDEX has gradually become a major highlight, which is quite a vane of the computer industry.

When Tang Huan took the stage to speak, the venue was full, and everyone wanted to hear about the success story of the most money from the personal computer industry, or some real insight, and it would be great if they could find business opportunities.

Tang Huan did not disappoint these people, and he mentioned the expectation of "faster, bigger, more" to the entire industry, "Some people may ask, how can this argument be like the Olympics." ”

"Guys, that's how I really feel." After the laughter from the audience, Tang Huan said solemnly: "Faster, which refers to the running speed of various processors, including CPUs; Larger refers to the capacity of memory, hard disk, and other storage; More refers to the number of various functional devices. ”

"Maybe people will disagree with it again, these three points are just nonsense." Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders, "We Chinese have a philosophical point of view, the road is simple, in the current personal computer industry, as long as you do one of them, you can make money, and I rely on more." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan arched his hand, "But I have a lot of this, and I need to be fast and big to be the support point." Therefore, I ask all hardware manufacturers to stop hesitating in the field of personal computers, and to quickly bring your technology and products to the scene. ”

With Tang Huan's identity, it is too easy to sway freely on this occasion, and no matter what he says, just the wealth he has, the appeal of the industry, and his personal demeanor have convinced many people.

After Tang Huan finished showing off on stage and stepped down, he quickly found an opportunity to get together with Wang An, who participated in COMDEX.

After Tang Huan accumulated the first pot of gold by launching the spreadsheet software CGrid, he once tried to find consensus with Wang An and enter the personal computer industry together.

But Mr. Wang, like most business leaders in the industry, is unimpressed with personal computers. Tang Huan had to fight alone and set up a production base on Baodao.

At present, the main product of Wang An Computer Company is WPS-word processing machine, because it is extremely good, IBM's similar products have been defeated.

Wang An's word processor is very popular in the Far East, and in many Xiangjiang movies, it is this device that the female secretary crackles and taps with her head down.

However, under the competition of Fangyuan Computer, which is equipped with word processing software WordEasy and Hanka, the market share of Wang An's word processing machine has been greatly affected, and even the two companies have a disagreement.

Wang An Computer Company is a rare Chinese-led successful enterprise in the United States, and Tang Huan hopes to form such an ally in his heart, so he hopes to take this opportunity to fight with Wang An.

As soon as they met, they didn't say a few words, and Tang Huan heard someone shouting, "Gates, you stop for me." ”

He followed the prestige and saw Gates scurrying in front with his head bowed, and Simeone angrily striding after him.

This is really lively, how did his right-hand man get on the bar with the boss of Microsoft? (To be continued......)
