Compared with the first round of North American tours last year, Deng Lijun's tour this year has significantly jumped a level, which can be seen from the choice of venues, Lincoln Center in New York, and Los Angeles Music Center in the center of Los Angeles, both of which are recognized as local cultural and artistic gatherings.

Of course, it's better to listen to music in these professional concert halls.

Like Lincoln Center, the Los Angeles Music Center was also built in the 1960s and is divided into three parts: the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (Dorothy ChandlerPavilion). Chandler Hall, the MarkTaper Forum, the Ahmanson Theatre, and the fourth building, the famous Walt Disney Concert Hall, is Walt? Disney Concert Hall will not be completed until the next century.

The famous Dorothy? Chandler Hall has more than 3,000 seats, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic is home to it. Meta was Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic from 1962 to 1978 before jumping ship.

It can be said that the Los Angeles Philharmonic is indeed very average at the moment, and it is completely the successor Ernest Martin Fleischmann, that is, Ernest? Martin? Freisschmann managed it well, which changed its position in the future.

In addition, it has to be said. Since 1969. Dorothy? Chandler Hall was also the site of the Academy Awards. And this gimmick will continue for a few more years, and Deng Lijun's concert will be held here.

Los Angeles is one of the more densely populated areas of Chinese, and with Hollywood's connections, there are not a few people in the entertainment industry who have emigrated.

Before the concert began, Tang Huan met many Chinese stars, especially Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen, who had to go to the United States to settle in a hurry because of the uproar caused by Gu Minglun's fall from the building.

Be realistic. Liu Jiachang is a very talented person, and what is even more commendable is that he is shrewd enough, so that he can get wealth and beauty with his talent.

Otherwise, in terms of talent alone, Gu Jiahui of Xiangjiang is not bad, but he can only work for TVB without complaint.

Liu Jiachang's shrewdness, the first manifestation was that in 1962, as an overseas Chinese student, he ran from South Korea to Baodao to study at university, because of political needs. At that time, there was a lot of care for such students in terms of rules.

In terms of career, he is even more precise, writing pop songs and movie soundtracks. As an actor and film director, etc., he was very busy, and finally became famous in 1972 with the movie "Late Autumn", and the 1975 movie "Plum Blossom" made him both famous and rich.

In particular, the movie "Plum Blossoms" further illustrates Liu Jiachang's talent for speculation.

At that time, the general climate was the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1972, and the treasure island with close contacts with Japan because of its colonial history, the high-level may have understood this change, but the reaction of the people can be described as very frustrating, although it is not as abandoned by the United States last year and feels that the sky is falling, but it also turns cold, so in the field of literature and art, the theme of anti-Japanese is a trend, and the movie "Plum Blossom" is in this context, winning a full house.

The theme song of the same name "Plum Blossom" by Liu Jiachang was praised for a while under the interpretation of Deng Lijun, but because the plum blossom was designated as the so-called "national flower", it was naturally endowed with political meaning, which can be seen from its unknown name in the mainland decades later in the original time and space.

Like other directors in Baodao, Liu Jiachang also filmed a lot of movies with the theme of Qiong Yao, and even danced wildly, successfully dug Xie Xian's corner, and snatched Zhen Zhen from him, so that the two finally ended in divorce.

Just when Liu Jiachang was proud of the spring breeze, actor Gu Minglun, who had already discussed marriage with female singer Zhang Lu, suddenly fell to his death, and public opinion was in an uproar, so he had to leave his career in Baodao and quietly run away to the United States five days after the incident.

But shrewd people can mix everywhere, Liu Jiachang started a business in Los Angeles such as restaurants and hotels, and also co-founded a "Odiwei Record Company" with Chen Qili, the boss of the Bamboo Union Gang.

In the original time and space, Liu Jiachang even played a sideline with the political arena later, and even more absolutely, because he was suspected of hollowing out the capital increase of up to NT$600 million for several companies in Baodao, and Zhen Zhen got a wanted warrant valid for ten years.

No matter what the wind reviews, Liu Jiachang's life is wonderful enough, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a big winner in life.

But these are not worth Tang Huan's attention to Liu Jiachang, what he remembered was that in the second decade of the 21st century, Liu Jiachang, who held commemorative concerts everywhere to make money, said that Feng Feifei's commemorative album sold better than Deng Lijun's, provoked the dispute between the two queens, and then frantically brushed up on the sense of existence, which made people mean.

However, it is impossible for the scheming Tang Huan to show his personal likes and dislikes on his face, he chatted with Cheng Long, who came to join in the fun, "Ah Long, is the filming of "Killer Trench" finished?" ”

"Almost, it is estimated that the United States will release it in September." An excited look flashed in Cheng Long's eyes, "If Mr. Tang has time, please come over and cheer." ”

It is not so easy for outsiders to eat in Hollywood, not to mention the mediocre response of "Killer Trench" in the United States, and the box office of Xiangjiang, the base camp of Golden Harvest, is even more dismal with only more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be called a real disadvantage.

"Is Golden Harvest a partnership with Warner?" Tang Huan asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Cheng Long nodded.

"I'll try my best." Tang Huan rubbed his chin with stubble, "One is because there are too many things, and the other is because I and Warner's game console company are fighting to the death, and I'm afraid of causing trouble for you." ”

"This ...... It's complicated. Cheng Long grabbed his hair and made a smirk.

"Even if I can't show up, I'll be there for it." Tang Huan smiled and patted Cheng Long's shoulder, and his eyes fell on Lin Qingbian, who was having a good conversation with Zhen Zhen. Suddenly I remembered something. So he got up and walked over. "Qingfang, come here, I have something to discuss with you."

In the strange eyes of Zhen Zhen and others, Lin Qingbian blushed slightly, and walked over a little reluctantly, "What do you have to say in front of so many people?" ”

"Isn't it a matter of urgency, tomorrow I have a very important banquet. You are my female companion, go together. Without waiting for Lin Qingfang to shirk it, Tang Huan raised his hand to stop it, and said domineeringly, "That's it, let's go pick out the dress together tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that Tang Huan walked away after speaking, Lin Qingfang stomped his feet dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to return to his position.

"Who was that guy just now? Looks like a good match for you. Zhen Zhen quipped.

"Just a normal friend." Lin Qingfang replied sullenly.

"Ordinary friends are still worthy of your joy and resentment." Lin Qingfang's little bit of the city, as Zhen Zhen of the people who came over. You can see through it at a glance.

Lin Qingbian was silent, when Deng Lijun appeared in full costume and began to sing. The look in her eyes became more complicated.

As when she performed at Lincoln Center, Deng Lijun sang mainly Chinese songs in addition to two English classics such as "JAMBALYA".

The atmosphere of this concert is obviously more enthusiastic than the previous one, which also shows the regional differences in the distribution of Chinese in the United States.

During the period, there was also a small episode, in the singing stage, after a little girl ordered a birthday song for her mother, a man rushed to hand in a note, but Deng Lijun smiled and showed it on the spot, "This gentleman, did you order the wordless book of heaven?" ”

Everyone in the audience looked at it and found that it was a blank piece of paper, and the audience immediately laughed.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan also shook his head with great interest, but he quickly frowned, it turned out that under the coaxing of everyone, Liu Jiachang was pushed to the stage and sang "Plum Blossoms" with Deng Lijun.

Listening to everyone shouting "master and apprentice cooperation to come to a song", he felt a little unhappy, he didn't take such a hitchhiker.

No matter how Tang Huan slandered, this link really pushed the atmosphere of the concert to a new peak.

Because he was going to attend Carter's banquet tomorrow, although Tang Huan could be calm in terms of strategy, he still needed to deal with it seriously in terms of tactics, so he didn't enjoy the next night concert, and wrote a note for his subordinates to give to Deng Lijun and then went back to rest.

……

No matter how entangled Lin Qingbian, who had the most headache to do multiple-choice questions, was in a difficult mood, she was still obediently pulled by Tang Huan to pick out a banquet dress the next day.

Seeing that the man next to him was very serious, Lin Qingbian couldn't help but be a little curious, and quipped, "It's a little strange for a big man like you to accompany me, a little woman, to buy clothes together." ”

"There's no way, if you want to see the president of the United States, I can't let the image of the Chinese be damaged." Tang Huan replied with a grin.

"Less scare." Lin Qingbian snorted.

However, when she walked into the Hilton Hotel with Tang Huan, she saw the well-dressed celebrities, the courteous reception staff, and the looming security guards, so she couldn't help but believe a little, and suddenly became nervous.

Feeling the trembling of Lin Qingfang's little hand, Tang Huan smiled and pecked on the other party's lips, "Your body proportions are really a clothes rack, and among the women at today's banquet, you must be the most beautiful." ”

Lin Qingfang, who was attacked by Tang Huan and made the two so close for the first time, scratched the man's big hand with his fingernails in shame, but after being harassed by the other party like this, his mood calmed down.

There is no doubt that this banquet is a show, it is used to attract connections, and the NPCs who can come to join in the fun are either more gold coins or have high prestige, but no matter which one it is, there are not many faces in the East, handsome men and women like Tang Huan and Lin Qingfang, who stand out from the crowd if they sound good, and lonely when they say they are lonely.

Fortunately, Tang Huan's mouth can not only make his woman fascinated, but his ability to communicate with strangers is also at the forefront of the world.

However, apparently he explored the map a little too fast, and when the fog cleared, he found that his opponent was unexpectedly standing in front of him, the boss and CEO of Atari's parent company, Warner, a generation of heroes Steve Ross? Rose, being next to an enthusiastic guy. The introduction came up.

Identity one comparison. The two sides immediately understood each other's origins and positions. Tang Huan's brain reacted faster, and he was the first to say hello.

Steve? Ross looked at Tang Huan for a while, and said when shaking hands: "I heard that the market scope of the Xiaobawang game console has now expanded to the whole world, and new supporting advertisements are coming out." ”

"It's just a small game console, and the profit is not high, compared with the big Atari and Warner, it's far behind." Tang Huan replied with a smile.

In the original time and space. Due to the success of the 1982 film "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", Steve? Rose starts with Stephen? Spielberg and Universal Pictures negotiated to develop a game of the same name.

By the end of July of the same year, Warner announced that it had acquired the exclusive rights to develop arcade and home console games for the film.

Although the statement did not disclose the details of the license, Atari is said to have paid about $20 million to $25 million to Universal Pictures in order to win the rights to develop the game, which was an unusually high price at the time.

Of course, the game was the straw that broke the camel's back, and Atari entered the countdown to collapse.

Steve? Ross is right in business, and his business talent is definitely one of the best. But they didn't realize the peculiarities of video games and the high-tech industry as a whole, and instead did the opposite.

So Tang Huan doesn't plan to talk to Steve at the moment? Ross framed the beams. When Atari can't stand Warner's loss, he will naturally sell it, and there is obviously no direct competition between the two parties.

But Steve? Rose, a Hollywood tycoon, where could Tang Huan be so far-sighted as to predict that Warner would abandon Atari and quit the video game industry in the future.

You know, Warner spent more than $20 million to buy Atari from Bushnell, and finally kicked it away with infamy, and finally let the Atari 2600, which spent a total of $100 million in research and development expenses, start to make money.

As a result, less than a year after being happy, the Xiaobawang game console jumped out and began to compete with the Atari 2600.

According to Atari CEO Ray? Casa reported that the total sales of Xiaobawang game consoles in North America this year are very likely to exceed $1 billion, almost reaching 60% of the entire home video game console market in North America, which is really eye-catching.

Obviously, if there is no Xiaobawang game console out of thin air, this big cake will all belong to Atari.

More so Steve? What Ross is spurting blood for is that Tang Huan recently let EA, with a lot of money earned from selling Xiaobawang game consoles, buy 40% of the shares of Luen Mei, and it is very likely that he will enter Hollywood.

Thinking of this, Steve, who is 53 years old this year? Rose, I feel a thorn in my heart, this little guy's vision is so steady and ruthless, it is said that he has developed and grown by himself, and has become a new model of Silicon Valley's entrepreneurial myth, which is too demonic.

Ignoring the ruthless exploitation and brutal betrayal in the mall, Tang Huan still admires Steve? Rose, a Jew's business talent, started with the formation of an independent taxi fleet with his father-in-law, who ran a funeral home, and now has entered Hollywood, and in a few years has merged with Times to become Time Warner, which can be described as one peak after another.

It's a pity that Tang Huan's peaceful attitude made Steve? Rose mistakenly thought that he was pretending to be a winner, pretending to break garlic, and Tang Huan was very active before, which made Steve, who was even more troubled? Ross decided that he was an opportunist, so he faced each other coldly, and with color, he looked at you in a way that was not pleasing to the eye.

You must know that Tang Huan employs thousands of employees under his hands, and when he is in a meeting, he sits in the middle, and at least dozens of elites are bowing their heads, which is completely worthy of being called a superior.

Naturally, the arrogance accumulated in Tang Huan's heart can be imagined.

I can laugh at myself and belittle myself, and I'm considered a corporal and approachable, but you can't kick your nose in the face.

Tang Huan smiled and nodded, turned to leave, and sat back in his position.

I'm rubbing, we're going to tie the knot, I'm going to let Warner be cheated by Atari after that, Time Warner will be cheated by AOL, I hope you don't live to the 1990s like in the original time and space.

Lin Qingbian inadvertently saw the fierceness that flashed in Tang Huan's eyes, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked softly, "Why do you look a little unhappy?" ”

"I can't talk about it, I just met a competitor in business, and I don't speculate for more than half a sentence." Tang Huan replied lightly, held Lin Qingfang's soft little hand, and interlocked his fingers domineeringly.

Lin Qing glanced at Tang Huan, but he didn't resist.

At this time, a voice came from the door, "Mr. President has arrived", and the banquet hall fell silent, and the people waiting stood up to greet them.

In fact, Carter's prestige has been so badly damaged that even Oscar has mocked him because of the delay in resolving the Iranian hostage crisis.

Just on April 14 of this year in Los Angeles Dorothy? At the 52nd Academy Awards at Chandler Hall, the famous comedian Johnny ? Carson, verbally thanked U.S. President Jimmy? Carter did a lot of work for the smooth "broadcast" of this awards ceremony.

In reality, however, it is unlikely that the President of the United States will have any influence on the normal broadcast of the Academy Awards.

The English word "release" also means release, and it is clear that Johnny is using this American humor to satirize Jimmy's inaction on the Iran hostage crisis.

The damage to prestige caused by this kind of declining public opinion can be said to be very fatal.

So when he saw Carter appear, Tang Huan couldn't help muttering in his heart, do you know that your presidential throne has not been able to sit for a few months? (To be continued......)
